Xiao Lian said in a careful tone " Will you help me?". She already stopped the thought of killing him when she learned that he was from Earth. So she wanted to ask him to give light to her dark curse.

Sheng Tian smiled and said " Yes. I will help you dispel your poison and help you build a physical body too. But I think it takes time." He too observed the change in poison, it seemed to be suppressed. But he can only completely dispel it when his strength reaches a certain level but he wasn't sure if she had that much time so he said those words implying her that time is the deciding factor.

Hearing his words, she let out a sigh. She too knew that. But the possibility of him reaching that realm in such a short time is impossible in this world. If they were in her world, there might be hope, but here it was stupidity to have such thoughts. But she wanted to give it a try nonetheless because she knew this might be her final chance to do so.

She said in a determined tone " I am willing to take up this as it is my only chance. I can help you improve your realm and teach you martial arts. But it will too much trouble for you, do you really want to do this for a stranger?" she knew it would be hard on him if he wants to increase his strength.

He replied " I want to grow stronger to live in this world with a peace of mind, so our interests incline. To be honest I would have helped you even without that since we are from the same place .. Treat it like a gamble for your life. I can't guarantee you anything except the fact that I might be your only hope. But I will try to help you sincerely. I am not a saint if it needs me to sacrifice myself, I will just give up. We are not close and I haven't had enough of life yet."

She couldn't take out any more and laughed out loud and managed to say " You are too honest and you conduct yourself as a True businessman, Pity it is a cultivation world. You are right, you are my last hope. I will leave this place with you." His words sounded made it seem like he is taking benefits without responsibilities and he stated that too straightforwardly.

He said " Alright."

She then said " Stand still for a moment." and turned into a raw of light entering the lotus she was sitting on. The lotus rapidly shrunk and it shot onto his left arm and hit above the elbow and just below the shoulder joint. Sheng Tian though expecting this was stunned upon seeing this for real.

He rolled up his sleeve and saw a lotus symbol on his left arm. He touched it but seemed to be the same as his own skin.

He heard a voice from his arm " Oh right, I forgot. Drip a drop of blood." He did as she said and there was a glow on the lotus symbol. He didn't find any changes to the lotus but suddenly felt a connection to someone. It seemed a bit familiar. Then her voice sounded again but this directly in his mind " With this contract, I can live inside your body, not in the lotus. And we can feel each others presence and also moments of danger along with life and death."


As she said, He indeed felt her living and a connection with it. It was like knowing there was someone you know being there without you even opening your eyes. It is a connection on a spiritual level. He could also feel her mood without knowing her thoughts. Wow. This was amazing. It can't be known by reading, one can only know by experiencing it.

He asked her " Why do you trust me?" but the reply was " Because I can't trust anyone else" her reply was not making him seem more reliable in fact it made others seem less reliable as if she couldn't bear to trust those people at all.

He grasped that the reasons are from her past. He would get to know them slowly later on. Then, He followed her instructions and quickly found an exit and got out of the mountain range.

Then he remembered something suddenly and asked her " Was that the Glazed Lotus?". He clearly remembered the legend of the mountain. And she replied " Yes, the one I was sitting was the Snow Glazed Lotus, Countless times rarer than a normal Glazed Lotus. But it is too rare due to being able to have a little healing property to souls and calming effect to mind, unlike the normal Glazed Lotus which can only be used for cultivation."

" That was great. Okay, I have something to do in the town before leaving it." Sheng Tian reached the town and went to his inn to rest. He was too tired after staying there for two full days. He felt that he should have a spatial ring.

He collapsed on the bed and slept like a dead pig. Meanwhile, Xiao Lian who was inside Sheng Tian couldn't sleep. She was utterly shocked because once she came into his body, her poison was suppressed more than before. And it also showed some signs of disposal. When she got curious and checked his body thoroughly, she didn't find anything different except that the toughness and width of his meridians are way above his realm and that his dantian is also way above the perfect one she knew. But the surprising part is she felt threatened when she used her Divine sense. But it was a light threat and it seemed like the power which threatened her would not need to spend much effort to send her to the yellow rivers.

And the most astonishing part is, however, the fact that she couldn't find anything. That means no one in this world could. She was sure that this is too much of a secret to him but he still let her be. This showed his trust in her. So she decided to trust him more too.

When the sun rose the next day, Sheng Tian woke up lazily and yawned. It is not that his body needed more sleep but he just liked sleeping.

Then he heard someone muttering " Lazy pig". Even though it is faint, he still heard it and knew who the speaker was.

He retorted by saying " Yeah, the one who sleeps in my body the whole time. She is a lazy pig."

At first Xiao Lian was just saying it as she saw him sleeping till it was noon unlike many cultivators who didn't sleep at all instead they would be in cultivation, so she couldn't help say it when she saw his expression of extreme comfort when sleeping but she didn't expect him to hear it and more so scold her in return it.

Even though she was in the cultivation world, this kind of thing is still a first for her. She tried to think of something quickly and replied with a snort " Who is sleeping till noon and I am cultivating not sleeping."

He replied calmly " yeah yeah, you are cultivating sleep sitting, I give you that." He may lose in a fight with fists, maybe, but in a verbal fight: No Way. He had to show her who is the boss.

And they bickered with each other for a while and Sheng Tian finally laughed. He seemed to be happy and cheerful.

Xiao Lian asked curiously " What happened? Are you laughing at me?" She was an innocent and hardworking girl in her first life and even more hard working in her second life. Even though after that incident, she became indifferent to everything, it was just a " Mask" she put on to avoid others to see her true self, the one with innocence and naivety of a normal 16-year-old.

In her previous life, she was the same, she didn't mature beyond 16 because she was taken care very well and thus leading her to such a situation. It can be said that she was spoiled by her family as a princess. So she didn't know much about the world outside, people, relationships such as friends, lovers, comrades etc. She only knew one thing: Cultivation. It was too late when the hatred in her heart bloomed and she had to fight back.

Sheng Tian answered her question with a smile " This morning is different from the usual one. I guess I have to thank you for that."

Xiao Lian went silent for a moment before she smiled comparing her silent painful life in the cave and the cheerful childish life here, and said: " Yeah this Morning is really different."
