Once, I wanted to be a good person

At this moment, Bai Zhi wore an expression of seriousness as she earnestly reflected, "This matter is partly my fault."

"I was eager to enhance my power at the time, attempting to rely on the abundant Power of Laws within Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Marvels to break through the Orifice Points."

"But I accidentally failed. Not only did it damage my law apertures, but it also left a lot of Power of Laws rampant within my body."

"This chain reaction eventually resulted in my entire side becoming immobile."

"After Bai Ling discovered my injury, she was overly concerned and thus used the Life-saving Treasure her father gave her to transfer my injuries onto herself."

"At the time, my mind was solely focused on enhancing my power, so I didn't think much of it. Besides, I couldn't move anymore, so I just watched her complete the operation."

"It wasn't until her condition worsened this morning that I felt something was amiss."

"Tonight, I thoroughly examined her body and realized I had overlooked a crucial issue: I have law apertures, but Bai Ling does not. My body is at the Forge Tendon Tempering stage, but Bai Ling's body is only at the Tendon Tempering stage."

"So the injury, which was already troublesome for me, became even more terrifying for her, as she can't self-heal at all."

"She clearly doesn't have law apertures, yet she was forcefully broken through one, which got damaged. Her body clearly can't absorb that much Power of Laws, yet now it's completely filled with it."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Fang Ze couldn't help but wrinkle his brow completely.

As someone who has been one of the closest companions since arriving in this world, though Bai Ling doesn't hold the same place in Fang Ze's heart as Bai Zhi does, she still occupies a significant position.

Seeing Bai Ling's injury truly so severe now, he couldn't help but worry and asked, "Is there no solution?"

At this, he seemed to remember something and said, "I have a batch of Treant Essence in my possession that can heal injuries. It should be effective for her condition."

Bai Zhi shook her head upon hearing this, "Treant Essence is indeed effective but can only address the symptoms rather than cure the root problem."

"Bai Ling and I also have some Treant Essence, which we've already used on her, temporarily managing her injury."

"However, to fully heal her injury, there's only one solution."

Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi and couldn't help but ask, "What solution?"

Bai Zhi said, "Return to my family's domain."

She explained, "In my family's domain, there's an artificial waterfall, which my grandfather constructed as spoils of war after participating in the founding battle fifty years ago. It's called the [Time Waterfall]."

"No matter how severe the injury, as long as you sit quietly beneath the waterfall, the water can wash away injuries, pains, and even aging, keeping the body at peak condition at all times, even effective for demigods."

"My grandfather has been able to maintain his peak condition because he's always meditating under that waterfall."

"If it works for my grandfather, I'm confident it can heal Bai Ling's injury."

"So, as long as we can bring Bai Ling under that waterfall, it should heal her injury."

At this, Bai Zhi paused and said, "Therefore, I plan to set out with Bai Ling tomorrow morning to my family's domain and heal her."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze also breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "If the waterfall is as miraculous as you described, then Bai Ling indeed has hope."

Not stopping there, Fang Ze couldn't help but say, "Shall I go with you tomorrow?"

The reason Bai Zhi brought this up was evidently to suggest this, she said, "If you're not busy, I'd really appreciate you accompanying me back."

"After all, my grandfather has passed away, and my dad and Lady Jin have also left. Returning home alone feels really lonely."

Fang Ze nodded lightly, then gently held Bai Zhi's hand to offer comfort.

After finishing discussing this matter, the atmosphere between the two quieted again, and Bai Zhi once more leaned lightly against Fang Ze, quietly admiring the vast, boundless starry sky.

Just like that, an entire minute passed.

Suddenly, Fang Ze seemed to have thought of something and spoke up, "By the way. Zhi, what did you just say? Your family's domain?"

Leaning against Fang Ze's embrace, Bai Zhi said, "Yeah. Family domain. Isn't this something every noble family has? Affiliated cities, domains, yearly resource quotas, purchase quotas."

The air fell silent again for a moment.

A second later, both suddenly sat up straight, Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi quickly turned, surprised to see Fang Ze.

Then, they spoke in unison,

"You have a domain and resources?"

"I have a domain and resources?!"

They stared at each other, faces increasingly excitedly expressing their emotions.

Bai Zhi analyzed excitedly, "That's right. Although our family dissolved and left Xida State, it was our own family's decision. In the Federation, we're still nobles, still enjoying various resources!"

Fang Ze continued, "Not only that. When the Bai Family dissolved, it was quite hasty. Although they should have taken a lot of cash and resources."

"But many fixed assets or items that were inconvenient to liquidate weren't taken away!"
