He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Seeing this, Hua Xiyu nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand, and removed the Four Symbols Binding Spirit Array. The phantoms of the water giant and the lotus fairy slowly dissipated.

She moved gracefully, floating to Shangguan Zheng's side, and gently patted his graying head, her tone full of affection:

"Little Zhengzi, good boy, that's more like it."

Shangguan Zheng blushed, so embarrassed he wished he could disappear into the ground.

He, a dignified general guarding a region, over a hundred years old, actually... in public...

A little girl who looked old enough to be his granddaughter patted his head and called him "Little Zhengzi," and even acknowledged him as her aunt...

If this gets out, his lifelong reputation will be completely ruined!

But there was nothing they could do; the relationships and seniority of the previous generation were what they were.

Otherwise, his elderly mother would probably break his legs.

"Aunt Hua..."

Suppressing his embarrassment, Shangguan Zheng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity,

"May I ask, Aunt Hua, how...how did you become so...young?"

He simply couldn't understand it; even if a breakthrough in cultivation brought about a leap in one's life level...

Her appearance has recovered somewhat, but not so drastically; it's practically like she's turned back the clock.

Such a complete transformation is only possible if one breaks through to the legendary level 300 or above.

However, the aura he sensed from Hua Xiyu, though powerful,

However, it did not possess the overwhelming pressure of the "Dao" emanating from experts above level 300.

"Well..."

Hua Xiyu smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lu Chen, who was sitting on a small stool to the side, happily watching the show while eating melon seeds.

A blush of happiness spread across her exquisite face.

"I have to thank your 'uncle' for this..."

"Aunt... Uncle?!"

Shangguan Zheng followed Hua Xiyu's gaze and nearly popped his eyes out when he saw the "little devil" whose aura was not even level 100!

He looked at Hua Xiyu in disbelief, his heart filled with terror:

"Aunt Hua, you're an old cow eating young grass, don't you have a conscience?"

Hua Xiyu was amused by his ghost-like expression, covered her mouth and chuckled, then waved to Lu Chen:

"Husband, come here and treat our 'Little Zhengzi'. Let him broaden his horizons while you're at it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen calmly put away the small stool and strolled leisurely to Shangguan Zheng.

With a thought, a pale green resurrection mark quietly appeared above Shangguan Zheng's head.

"Shin-chan, bear with it, it might hurt a little."

Hua Xiyu gave Shangguan Zheng a mysterious smile.

The next moment, she made her move without warning!

Her combat power, amplified fivefold, erupted instantly, and her speed was so fast that Shangguan Zheng had no time to react at all!

"Pfft!"

A soft sound.

With her slender fingers joined together, she suddenly thrust her hand towards Shangguan Zheng's chest!

Before Shangguan Zheng could even react, he felt a chill in his chest, followed by excruciating pain!

He looked down in astonishment, watching as that fair, jade-like hand precisely grasped his powerfully beating heart!

Then, my heart was instantly crushed into pieces, and an immense pain washed over me.

"you……"

Shangguan Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, his face filled with astonishment.

He simply couldn't understand why "Aunt Hua" would suddenly try to kill him after her identity had already been confirmed.

Or did I mistake someone for someone else?

"Go to hell!!"

In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Zheng had no time to think things through.

A surge of grief and indignation instantly overwhelmed his reason!

In the face of death, he did not hesitate to choose to self-destruct, taking his own body with him!

The energy within his body began to flow wildly in reverse!

The bones were cracking, and the skin was splitting open.

A violent burst of energy and flames was about to erupt from the seven orifices!

"Mother...your unfilial son has misjudged you..."

Shangguan Zheng felt a deep sadness in his heart.

Countless images flashed through his mind:

The kind smile of an elderly mother, the passionate camaraderie of fighting side-by-side with soldiers on the border, sharing drinks and laughter...

He never imagined that he, a great general who had guarded a region and fought countless bloody battles, would ultimately "die" in such a humiliating manner.

Caught off guard, he was ambushed and killed by a so-called "elder of the same clan"!

"You little brats... I'm taking my leave now..."

He silently prepared to use his last bit of energy.

At least tore a hole in this area, to alert the soldiers outside.

"Xiao Zhengzi, you should just go and stay put, don't get involved in any of that mess..."

Hua Xiyu gave a wicked laugh.

She held one hand together, fingers forming a sword shape, and made a sweeping motion in the air.

"Buzz!"

The power of the Lotus Domain was instantly mobilized to its maximum!

On the water's surface, countless phantom images of lotus flowers bloomed layer upon layer, forcefully suppressing the violent energy surging within Shangguan Zheng's body!

"Well……!"

Shangguan Zheng stared wide-eyed at the smiling Hua Xiyu, his eyes filled with resentment.

Why... could you suppress my self-destruction so easily?

With this last question in mind, Shangguan Zheng's vision went black, his breath ceased completely, and his body slumped backward, crashing onto the water with a splash.

He died with his eyes wide open, truly "dying with his eyes open."

Hua Xiyu slowly withdrew her blood-stained hand, flicked it casually, and the bloodstains turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The reason she chose to act in such a sudden and "cruel" way was...

This was precisely to allow Shangguan Zheng to personally experience the resurrection process.

No matter how extravagant the description of the ability to "resurrect" may be, it cannot compare to the shock and authenticity of experiencing it firsthand.

Lu Chen gave Hua Xiyu a strange look.

This wife, who is usually gentle and obedient to him,

They were incredibly ruthless and efficient when they took action, even taking advantage of moments when the other person was emotionally vulnerable.

However, Lu Chen wasn't worried that she would harm him.

Their lives had long been intertwined through the "twin lotus flowers".

"resurrection!!"

Lu Chen didn't delay any longer, and a thought crossed his mind.

A soft green light instantly enveloped Shangguan Zheng's "corpse".

The next moment, a miracle happened!

The blood hole in Shangguan Zheng's chest healed quickly, leaving not even a scar.

Her gray hair turned thick and black, the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, and her skin regained its youthful luster.

Even the old injuries and ailments left over from years of fighting disappeared without a trace!

"Well……"

Shangguan Zheng let out an unconscious groan, suddenly opened his eyes, and sprang up from the water with a somersault.

"This...I..."

He stood on the water, subconsciously looking down at his chest.

She raised her hand again to touch her now thick, black hair, her face filled with shock.

That feeling of death still lingers in my memory; it feels incredibly real!

But now...

The wound is gone!

My hair has turned black!

Its body is brimming with vitality.

His condition is even better than during his peak years in his youth!

"Everything's all done..."

He muttered to himself, his gaze shifting back and forth between Hua Xiyu and Lu Chen, his mind unable to process what was happening.

What exactly happened?

Resurrected from the dead?

Rejuvenation?

"Little Zhengzi, are you dumbfounded now?"

"Hehe..."

Hua Xiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Didn't you want to know how I became so young? The answer is right in front of you..."

She affectionately took Lu Chen's arm, her beautiful face radiating happiness.

"My husband, Lu Chen, possesses the power to resurrect himself and defy fate!"

Not only can it bring the dead back to life, but it can also cure all injuries and illnesses, restoring a person to their most perfect state!

With a husband like this, what more could a wife ask for!

I'm bursting with pride!

"Lu Chen... Uncle..."

Having regained his youthful appearance, Shangguan Zheng fixed his gaze on Lu Chen, his pupils contracting sharply, his heart churning with turmoil.

"No wonder...no wonder the higher-ups are so focused on it, specifically requesting to take care of it...I see!"

After the initial shock, an even more urgent thought emerged!

The next moment, this border general, who had just been so indomitable and attempted to self-destruct,

He made a move that left Hua Xiyu and Lu Chen speechless!

"Uncle!"

With a "plop," Shangguan Zheng knelt down directly on the water's surface.

Then she lunged forward, grabbing Lu Chen's leg tightly with both hands, pleading...

"Nephew, I beg you! Save them! Save my brothers!"

His voice choked with emotion, and his eyes instantly reddened; all traces of the general's dignity were gone.

He's exactly the kind of "old rascal" who throws a tantrum at his elders for the sake of his family, disregarding all dignity.
