Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Revival of Senba (1)_1

However, observing Zi Xiao’s eyes that were no longer lifeless, Little Douzi knew that as long as she was present, he would naturally be happy because he had regained his entire world.

"Hey, Little Douzi, won’t you come out after running inside? Are you making me wait outside forever on purpose? Do you really find me that unpleasant? You..." A crisp voice came from outside the courtyard, followed by a graceful young girl whose appearance and age resembled Nian Hua’s, but her temperament was identical to Nian Hua’s.

"Princess Zhixin, I didn’t—I just..." Little Douzi helplessly explained against Princess Zhixin’s accusations. He had been so astonished to see Dugu Qianye that he hadn’t gone out for a moment.

"You just what? You just left me outside alone, you..." Princess Zhixin shouted at Little Douzi, with eyes full of grievance. Wasn’t it just because she liked him? Did he need to avoid and brush her off like this?

Her heart’s grievance suddenly erupted, causing her to forget to bow to Zi Xiao and instead directly vent her anger at Little Douzi. However, when her gaze fell upon the soul floating beside Zi Xiao, she swallowed the rest of her words and instead asked, "Lord Father, is this, is this my paternal auntie?"

Dugu Qianye thought of the little child he had seen before, who was now over a thousand years old. Seeing the joy in her eyes, he smiled at her, saying, "Zhixin has grown so much. You were such a small child back then."

Hearing Dugu Qianye say this, Princess Zhixin was certain of Dugu Qianye’s identity, especially given that she was a soul, it could only be her.

Zi Xiao looked at Princess Zhixin and asked, "What’s the rush for you to come here in such haste?"

"Hehe, when I came back, I heard from my mother that someone had sent my auntie’s soul back. Mom said my auntie was still not awake, so I came to see if she had awakened," Princess Zhixin immediately forgot about Little Douzi’s matter and cheerfully told Zi Xiao.

"Are Nian Hua and the others well?" Thinking that a thousand years had passed, she wondered how they were doing now.

Princess Zhixin ran to Dugu Qianye’s side and said, "Dad and Mom are both great! They just complain that I am never at home, and they are planning to make me a little brother! Before I came here, my mom said, if my auntie wakes up, you should come to our house whenever you’re free. The Royal Palace isn’t so easy to enter nowadays!"

In the past thousand years, Zi Xiao had isolated himself from the outside world’s people and affairs, allowing only Little Douzi and Lord Qie Yue to enter this courtyard.

"Alright, once I have restored my physical body, I will visit your mother," Dugu Qianye said.

Princess Zhixin’s lively temperament helped to ease the atmosphere that had become somewhat suppressed. Dugu Qianye’s mood improved slightly.

But Zi Xiao’s mood had shifted from sunny to cloudy. He still wanted to have a good chat with his Little Yeye. What were these intruders doing here?!

Zi Xiao’s mood darkened, significantly lowering the atmosphere, making Princess Zhixin and Little Douzi shiver involuntarily, realizing that perhaps their presence was inappropriate at the moment.

"Ah! I just remembered, my mom said she made mung bean cake for me to eat when I get back. Auntie, Lord Father, I’ll go first," Princess Zhixin said, then turned and ran out.

"Cough cough, My Lord, earlier Lord Qie Yue said if there’s any news, to inform him immediately, so I will take my leave as well," Little Douzi said and quickly ran out as well. He thought to himself how quickly his master had recovered. Just before he was deathly still, and now he was emitting a chill, his poor little heart!

But this was a good thing—my Lord has returned! The Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm can go back to what it was before!

Dugu Qianye, seeing Princess Zhixin and Little Douzi’s hasty departure, couldn’t help but laugh. When he saw Zi Xiao’s sullen expression, he couldn’t contain his laughter.

Seeing her laugh so heartily, Zi Xiao finally felt that the sunlight of his world had returned.

Poor Dandan was still ignored under the peach tree...

In the days that followed, Dugu Qianye began to mold her own body, and Zi Xiao found her many spirit items that nourished the soul, to shorten the time it took for her to reconstruct her body. However, this wasn’t an overnight matter, so when they had the time, they also went outside for fresh air and played chess for leisure.

"Here, here, this chess piece should go here!" In the garden pavilion, Dugu Qianye floated behind Nian Zhixin, pointing to a spot on the chessboard.

"Okay," Nian Zhixin obediently picked up a white chess piece and placed it at the location Dugu Qianye had pointed out.

Zi Xiao sat opposite, twirling a black chess piece in his hand and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Dugu Qianye said. People say that the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all connected, and since she could play a good tune, why couldn’t she play chess?

"Alright then, I’m going to take it!" Zi Xiao was about to place his own chess piece down after he finished speaking.

"Eh, wait a minute!" Dugu Qianye shouted when she saw where Zi Xiao was about to make his move, followed by her two hundred and first take-back.

"Okay then." Zi Xiao withdrew his hand, looking at her with amusement. Even her take-backs were a joy for him.

After the two hundred and fiftieth take-back, Dugu Qianye and Nian Zhixin’s team met their glorious demise.

"I don’t want to play this anymore, let’s play something new." After losing, Dugu Qianye became stubborn and came up with a new way to play.

"Knights jump over the sun’s rays, elephants fly across field corners, cannons overthrow mountains; these are pretty much the rules. Let’s play this now." After failing two hundred and twenty-two times, Dugu Qianye brought out the chess from her previous life, told Nian Zhixin and Zi Xiao the rules, and looked at them confidently.

In my past life, I was a chess master, hmph, I refuse to believe I can’t beat you this time!

Her pride lasted only for two rounds. By the third round, she and Zi Xiao had reached a draw, and from the fourth round onwards, they began the cycle of continuous losses.

Watching them grind their teeth in frustration was really amusing for him. He really wanted to tell them that he had been playing casually. But thinking about his future happiness, he decided against it, smiling at the two in front of him, especially the one floating behind him, persistently asking for take-backs over and over again...

Sometimes Dugu Qianye truly hated her current situation, being without a corporeal form, unable to caress Zi Xiao’s face, unable to hug him.

Although Zi Xiao had been very happy ever since her return.

"Your white hair..." Dugu Qianye floated by Zi Xiao’s side, reached out to touch his hair, but her hand passed right through, leaving her feeling dejected.

Zi Xiao looked into Dugu Qianye’s eyes and smiled, comforting her, "You’ll be able to touch it soon, be good, don’t rush."

"But I want to touch you now," Dugu Qianye said.

"Then you should focus on your cultivation, and form your body sooner," Zi Xiao said. "I have some matters to attend to outside, why don’t you go and practice for now, okay?"
