Now, although Zi Tianyi is temporarily out of life-threatening danger and can be considered saved, this Cold Poison lingering in the heart meridian remains a hidden trouble.

After all, the Cold Poison might fully erupt one day, directly attacking Zi Tianyi's heart meridian, with unimaginable and fatal consequences.

However, looking at Xiao Chitai's removal of the Cold Poison, even if it erupts, it will be at least thirty years later.

So, in the next thirty years, Zi Tianyi should be safe and sound, and Xiao Chitai doesn't need to inject Spiritual Power daily to resist the corrosion of the Cold Poison for her.

In the days to come, he can focus on how to clear the Cold Poison from the heart meridian.

Under the powerful vitality of the Water of Life, as Zi Tianyi's skin gradually became rosy and her body warmer, in just the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Tianyi, you've finally woken up."

Watching Zi Tianyi awaken, Xiao Chitai could hardly contain his inner joy, trembling with excitement, and tears streamed down his face.

"Chitai, I... I actually didn't die, I'm still alive?"

After awakening, Zi Tianyi stared at Xiao Chitai in disbelief, unable to imagine she could wake up again.

She remembered back then, she was struck by the Cold Poison, her vitality declining rapidly, and her body slowly freezing, thinking she was certainly going to die.

But unexpectedly, she woke up again, though the scene before her was different, the once handsome Xiao Chitai had turned into this old man, emanating an unpleasant smell of alcohol.

Of course, this was because Xiao Chitai had lived these past decades unkempt and drunk every day.

"Back then, when you were struck by the Cold Poison, I temporarily sealed you with Spiritual Power and brought you back here. Now, our daughter has brought back the Water of Life and saved you."

"If it weren't for the Water of Life brought back by our daughter, I truly wouldn't know what to do."

Looking at Zi Tianyi, Xiao Chitai said with excitement.

Only he knew the pain and sacrifices he had endured over these years.

It didn't matter if their daughter didn't understand him.

"What? Ling'er, you actually sent Ling'er to find the Water of Life, you bastard, how could you do such a thing? Do you know the danger within? Is this how you care for our daughter?"

Upon hearing that it was Zi Ling who found the Water of Life to save her, Zi Tianyi immediately felt some anger, her voice rising as she looked at Xiao Chitai.

However, she also understood that it hadn't been easy for Xiao Chitai all these years.

Especially with many years passing and Xiao Chitai's Cultivation not only not advancing, but even regressing, she could see that it was because of her that he had turned out like this.

And thinking of their daughter going to find the Water of Life, she must have suffered a lot, considering the nature of such a mystical treasure.

Her own daughter going in search of such a rare heaven-and-earth treasure, how much danger she might have encountered.

"Tianyi, you can rest assured, our daughter has grown up, it's been twenty-six years, she is no longer the little girl she once was."

"When she went to search for the Water of Life, I did advise her not to go, but I couldn't dissuade her, nor could I bear to disappoint her filial piety, her stubbornness, as you well know."

Xiao Chitai looked at Zi Tianyi and calmly said.

"What?! I have been unconscious for twenty-six years?"

Hearing Xiao Chitai's words, Zi Tianyi was extremely shocked.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, twenty-six years have passed, and you have finally awoken."

Xiao Chitai sighed, wondering how he had endured these past twenty-six years.

"Where is Ling'er now?"

Zi Tianyi looked at Xiao Chitai, although she also wanted to know what Xiao Chitai had endured over the years, her heart was most concerned about was their daughter at that moment.

"Don't worry, she's fine, she's just outside in the courtyard. The cold air here is too extreme, so I didn't let her come in."

Looking at Zi Tianyi, Xiao Chitai said softly.

Hearing this, Zi Tianyi then realized that this room was filled with intense icy breath, likely even a Creation Realm Expert would be frozen.

Suddenly, Zi Tianyi got off the Cold Ice Jade Bed, planning to go out to the courtyard to see her daughter, only then realizing she wasn't wearing any clothes.

"Old fool."

Zi Tianyi gave Xiao Chitai a sidelong glance, then with a wave of her hand, put on a white dress and walked out, pushing open Shi Men, entering the courtyard outside.

Nothing here had changed, still the same as when she was in charge of the Yellow Hall, the only change being the spirit of the Yellow Hall's disciples seemed to have faded, with only a few disciples remaining.

"Mother!"

Seeing Zi Tianyi walk out from the Stone Chamber, Zi Ling immediately burst into tears, running quickly and throwing herself into Zi Tianyi's arms.

Feeling the warmth of her mother, Zi Ling felt as if she were dreaming, because the scene before her was one she had only seen in her dreams.

But she knew it was all real; her mother had truly awakened. Her dreams had come true, all thanks to Junior Brother Lin Chen giving her the Water of Life.

Without Lin Chen, she wouldn't have been able to retrieve the Water of Life.

"Ling'er, you've grown so much."

Zi Tianyi held Zi Ling, and even after twenty-six years, as Zi Ling had grown from a crying, noisy Little Lass into such a beautiful young lady, she could still recognize her daughter at a glance.

Zi Tianyi also began to cry, unable to imagine how difficult it must have been for Zi Ling in the twenty-six years without her company.

Xiao Chitai also came out from the Stone Chamber, seeing the mother-daughter reunion, his heart filled with emotion. He was indeed useless, unable to find the Water of Life all these years, while their daughter had brought it back in no time.

Later, Zi Tianyi took Zi Ling to sit down, asking about her growth over the past twenty-six years, for she had missed many moments of Zi Ling's growing up.

However, not long into the chat, Zi Tianyi noticed that Zi Ling had fallen asleep on her lap, sleeping so sweetly and peacefully.

Seeing this, Zi Tianyi didn't dare to disturb Zi Ling, gently reaching out to stroke Zi Ling's hair.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chitai stood quietly, watching this scene, continuing to silently guard the two of them.

After returning to Yunlong Heavenly Palace, Lin Chen went to the residence of Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui first thing.

Knock knock knock—

Lin Chen knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Inside, Yang Minghui and Yu Weilian were cultivating, and hearing the knock, Yang Minghui immediately shouted angrily.
