Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 185 - 116: The Seven Luminaries Endure! Eternal and Indestructible!

Fu Jing's body trembled, and he thought, "In the end, am I no longer like I was in my youth, and have I forgotten the spirit of those days?"

"Uncle Jing, I promised Manman to take her back to the Eternal Immortal Sect. Please give me this chance."

Fu Jing took a deep breath, his voice low yet extraordinarily weighty, "Alright."

...

The clear night sky was cloudless, with stars and the moon hanging high.

Fan Wubing, guided by the starlight and moonlight, passed through a deep, secluded path. There were no idle people here, and all sorts of auras became exceptionally clear. He strolled leisurely amidst the sea of flowers, a gentle breeze carrying warmth, as if it wasn't winter, but rather late spring. On either side were cliffs towering into the clouds, with no top or edge in sight.

A lively aura gradually became clear. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Fan Wubing lightly and slowly sensed it. This aura became even more gentle, making him feel as if he were immersed in clear water, purifying his entire body. The fatigue of his spirit was relieved, and he couldn't help but relax, as if falling into a beautiful dream.

"So, this is the Valley of the Water Spirit..."

Before coming, he had heard from Fu Jing that this place was a Royal Sacred Land. Here, whether in cultivation or in comprehension, one could receive great benefits.

Truly, it was so.

Fan Wubing casually took a breath and added 40 health points. Even without the double benefit of the Blood Tribulation Immortal Skill, he would still gain 20 points. In general environments, even when Fan Wubing unrestrainedly breathes with no limits on his rootless qi, he could only gain about 10 points.

This speaks volumes of the mystery of this place.

He felt that, compared to the gains in cultivation, the more important benefits here were on the spirit and the enhancement of perception. These two benefits have always been extremely difficult to obtain.

Especially enlightenment, such a profound concept, comparable to the saying "destiny works in mysterious ways."

Fu Manman was in this place.

He tread lightly forward, and after passing through the sea of flowers, he heard the sound of flowing water. Following the sound, he saw a bamboo grove. Besides the bamboo grove was a river, and a certain section of the river pooled into a pond.

Under the reflection of stars and the moon, the pond water shimmered, clear and gentle.

In the hazy distance, a figure could be seen sitting in the center of the pond.

Fan Wubing's heart inexplicably beat faster. He had guessed who the person was, just by the long hair draped down their back, he could recognize them. He quickened his pace forward, and as he approached the edge of the pond, he slowed down again, his heartbeat gradually returning to calm.

He called out, "Seventh Princess."

In the center of the pond, Fu Manman, who was meditating with closed eyes, suddenly heard a voice from the shore. The voice sounded so familiar to her, it was the one she had been longing for all along. Her thoughts surged, and without regard for anything else, she stood up, turned around, and said with a smile, "You came!"

Fan Wubing suddenly stood there motionless, stunned as he looked at her.

Fu Manman then realized she was wearing nothing at that moment!

The girl stood at the center of the water.

She didn't know if she had lost her mind or thought she was dreaming, but she didn't cover herself for a long time, just standing there daftly. The starlight and moonlight shone on her smooth body, casting gentle and graceful curves that glimmered, blending with the shimmering waves, like a Divine Maiden from an illustrative book. Her body, full of shyness, had just matured, unlike a grown-up maiden, yet completely revealing the vibrant charm of this age.

Fan Wubing kept looking, showing no sign of restraint.

Fu Manman finally came to her senses, yet she didn't shout; she slowly crouched down to hide her body in the water, leaving only her small head above. Her voice was full of shyness, making it sound like she had a cold, with some particularly adorable nasal tones for a young girl.

She quietly asked, "Did you see everything?"

Fan Wubing only then raised his head to look at the sky, "I only saw the front, not the back. Besides, it's dark; I didn't see everything."

Fu Manman submerged her head in the water too, and only after a while did she reemerge, "Turn around."

Fan Wubing complied, immediately hearing the sound of water being moved aside. He couldn't help but imagine a shy maiden coming out of the water, then hurriedly dressing herself...

"No imagining!" Fu Manman suddenly said.

Fan Wubing was startled, "How do you know—"

"So you were imagining..."

"..."

After some rustling, "Alright. You can turn around now."

Fan Wubing turned around.

Fu Manman had already dressed, even drying her hair with immortal energy. She had entirely transformed from the image of her standing in the water earlier, becoming a gentle and serene Little Princess.

She sat on a flat rock by the pond, patting the place beside her, "Come sit here."

Fan Wubing had a feeling of being "requested." It felt strange; today, she seemed very proactive.

He walked over and sat beside her.

The Little Princess turned her head slightly, seriously observing his profile, her eyes carrying a certain scrutinizing look.

"Wha... What's wrong?" This made Fan Wubing inexplicably nervous.

Fu Manman said, "Now you have to marry me."

Fan Wubing was startled, "No way! It was just an accidental encounter, and I only saw your figure, I didn't do anything else. Besides, no normal person would think like that, this kind of thing only happens in storybooks, right!"

"You sound anxious," Fu Manman said expressionlessly.

"Just stating facts!"

"Don't want to marry me?"

"It's too early!"

"Later makes it possible?"

"..." Fan Wubing couldn't give her any specific answer. At this moment, no one could.

No decent person would talk about marrying a girl who isn't even fifteen yet.

Suddenly, Fu Manman laughed, "Just teasing you."

Fan Wubing's tense nerves immediately relaxed, quickly regaining the upper hand, "Oh, your courage has grown, huh? You weren't like this before."
