After facing the mysterious figure, Yunxihua raised his small hand toward the unknown person and finally collapsed, falling unconscious without strength.
For three days he did not wake up. The unknown figure then gave his Ancient Dragon blood essence to heal Yunxihua's wounds and restore his small body.
After some time passed, little Yunxihua finally woke up from his unconscious state.
"Where is this…?" he said while taking a deep breath. "Father? Mother?" Yunxihua asked weakly.
"Don't move too much. You haven't fully recovered yet," the unknown figure replied.
"W-who are you? Why am I here?" Yunxihua asked.
"When I found you, you were already lying unconscious," the unknown person answered.
"Big sister, thank you for saving me. I promise I will repay this kindness," Yunxihua said.
The unknown person replied, "Enough, don't move too much. Eat this soup—I made it myself."
"Growl growl—see? Your stomach is already rumbling," the unknown person added.
"Hehehe, thank you, big sister," Yunxihua replied.
"Eat first, and don't call me big sister. My name is Xuhuo, and I'm still young," Xuhuo said 😒😒.
"Alright, Sister Xuhuo," Yunxihua replied.
"I told you, just call me Xuhuo!" Xuhuo answered irritably 😾😒.
After eating and chatting for a while, Yunxihua prepared to say goodbye to Xuhuo and did not forget to thank her for her help.
"Sis Xu—eh…" (Xuhuo showed an unhappy expression), "Xuhuo, thank you, hehe," Yunxihua said.
"You're welcome," Xuhuo replied.
"So, what are your plans from now on?" Xuhuo asked.
"About that…" 😔😔 "I will go to the Soul Purification Sect to become a cultivator. I want to take revenge for my family and the villagers," Yunxihua replied.
"Don't you know? The ones who killed your family and destroyed your village were the Fu Clan. The Soul Purification Sect is merely a puppet of the Fu Clan," Xuhuo said.
"With an angry expression, "What?! The Fu Clan?" Yunxihua asked.
"The Fu Clan is an ancient clan, one of the Nine Ancient Clans of the Ancient Astral Continent. If you insist on taking revenge, it would take you a thousand years to achieve it," Xuhuo said.
"Damn Fu Clan! I will take this revenge even if I am struck by lightning and die miserably. Even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years, I will endure it to avenge this hatred!" Yunxihua shouted angrily.
"Hmmm… Your determination is truly strong. In that case, I will help you," Xuhuo said.
"R-really? You will help me?" Yunxihua asked.
"Right now, you have nowhere to go. Come with me to the Dragon Realm," Xuhuo said.
"Alright, I will go with you," Yunxihua replied.
"Smart girl. Bai Long!" Xuhuo called out with a whistling sound.
Suddenly, a huge white dragon appeared, surrounding Xuhuo.
"Yunxihua, let me introduce you—this is Bai Long, my dragon spirit. Beautiful, isn't she?" Xuhuo said.
"Uh~ v-very beautiful, ehehehe," Yunxihua replied 😅😅🥲.
Xuhuo and Yunxihua then flew while riding Bai Long toward the Dragon Realm (the land of the Xu Clan).
Upon arriving, Yunxihua was welcomed by Xuhuo's younger sibling named Xushengxia.
"Big sister is back!" Xushengxia said happily. "Big sister, who is that?" she asked.
Xuhuo introduced Yunxihua to her younger sibling and asked permission from the clan leader to allow Yunxihua to stay in their clan.
"Father, I brought someone with me. I found her while training in the Silent Forest. Her family was killed by the Fu Clan and her village was destroyed. Please allow her to stay in this clan," Xuhuo said.
The elders discussed among themselves. Some opposed the idea, assuming Yunxihua might be bait sent by the enemy, while others supported Xuhuo's proposal.
Her father, named Xuming, eventually approved his daughter's request.
Yunxihua was then brought before the clan leader and was given a Dragon Blood Seal so that she could cultivate.
