Chapter 601: I Will Do My Best
Everything here is so new and full of vitality, just like a newly born world.
The pulse of the whole earth exudes vitality, more vivid and powerful than any place they have seen before.
Is this the world under the personal protection of [Abundance]?
From time to time, one or two insects and birds chirped in the woods, and occasionally small animals ran through the woods.
When the two of them pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, a peaceful and peaceful rural scene came into view.
A small river gurgled by, and a row of civil structures stood beside the river, with green tiles on the roof.
Farmers were working in the fields, smoke was curling from the chimneys on the roofs, and a faint aroma of frying could be faintly smelled in the air.
Everything was like a lively paradise.
"Ah... this village."
"Actually, I'm a little curious about how Bai Zhi built this village the same every time she reincarnates without inheriting any memories."
"But anyway... she should be in there."
Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed to a slightly different-looking house in the front.
It was a large house that looked more spacious, with various fragrant grasses planted in the courtyard, bluestone paths all over the ground, and two tall cypress trees with twisted trunks at the door.
Li Yang nodded slightly and walked towards the courtyard.
When they climbed the stairs and pushed open the exquisitely carved door, a burst of lingering fragrance came to their faces, intoxicating the heart.
In the courtyard stood an exquisitely carved stone table, and a beautiful figure was sitting quietly by the table with her back to the door.
But the moment Li Yang and the others walked through the porch into the courtyard, she felt the change in the atmosphere.
Then, she subconsciously turned her head and looked at the two of them with doubt.
Li Yang recognized her immediately.
Bai Zhi.
He would never forget this familiar face and the iconic white hair.
However, at this moment, Bai Zhi seemed to have completely integrated into her identity as the goddess of abundance.
Compared to the person in Li Yang's memory, she now looked more like a divine figure standing in the universe in the textbook of Blue Star.
Her hair reached her waist, and she wore a pure white dress, and she seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo.
Her originally slightly thin face became more energetic, and her every move revealed a mature and steady temperament.
What surprised Li Yang the most was that she was covered with some faint floral marks from her face to her neck and arms, like tattoos printed on her skin.
Looking closely, those floral marks seemed to be slowly growing and spreading, and from time to time one or two delicate flowers would bloom.
"Strange... I didn't have the impression that you two were invited to be guests."
"I don't know why you two came here?"
She probably really couldn't recognize the two of them.
However, this was not surprising.
Bai Zhi is not special. After each reincarnation and the restart of the universe, she will be reset to zero and reborn with the universe.
The memories during this period will naturally disappear.
Li Yang suddenly felt a little emotional, looking at Bai Zhi's eyes that seemed to hide flower stamens, but did not speak.
Jiang Xiaoxiao beside him smiled and waved, saying hello, and explained:
"We are just travelers who happened to pass by, and we came here to find an old acquaintance..."
"But it seems that she is not here, we found the wrong one, sorry."
Bai Zhi's face still had that gentle smile.
Instead of being angry and blaming, she spoke slowly in a gentle tone:
"It's a pity that I'm the only one in this courtyard."
"Let me do my best to be a good host..."
"I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you?"
Li Yang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:
"You don't have to be so polite, we're just passing by here and want to take a break. It's quiet and peaceful here, just what we need."
Bai Zhi nodded and motioned them to sit down at will.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat quietly aside, and Li Yang sat opposite Bai Zhi.
The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only bursts of flower fragrance lingering in the air.
Li Yang took a deep breath, looked at the fragrant grass blooming in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of this natural fragrance.
"After being away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, everything seems to have slowed down."
Bai Zhi smiled calmly, "This kind of tranquility and warmth is exactly the life I yearn for."
Li Yang nodded: "That's true... But do you sometimes suddenly feel that this kind of life is too monotonous and boring?"
"Not really..." Bai Zhi shook her head, "I'm tired of the vanity and fame and the chaos of the past. Now I just want a peaceful and simple life, which is perfect for me."
Li Yang nodded thoughtfully.
"But, have you never felt lonely?" Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "Living such a life alone...will you really not feel lonely?"
Bai Zhi was slightly startled, then shook her head gently:
"I have a close relationship with every blade of grass, every mountain and every stone here, as if I was born for this."
Her eyes became somewhat distant and long:
"Nature breeds all things, nourishes all living things, and gives me vast and boundless tenderness...I am surrounded by her in this world all day long, so I naturally don't feel lonely."
Hearing this, Li Yang nodded slowly, expressing some agreement.
Instead, he had thought about this kind of life of retreating to the countryside and being indifferent to fame and fortune many times.
Perhaps one day, he should try this kind of life.
"I'm not nitpicking... but seeing your current lifestyle..." Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side slowly shook her head and sighed, "I always feel a little... hard to let go."
Bai Zhi smiled slightly and turned to look at her:
"You and I are born strangers, so there's no need to worry too much."
Her palms gently spread on the smooth stone table, and the marks of the flowers slowly grew like bamboo shoots in spring, and a white lily suddenly bloomed, swaying gently in those bright eyes.
"I do have some vague memories of the past." She said to herself, "but there is a long-lasting feeling, like a long dream, which sometimes flashes in my mind."
"However, as you can see, this is where my heart is now."
She looked at the blooming lily, with unspeakable emotions flashing in her eyes,
"Since I have this body, I should do my best to manage this world and give people abundant gifts."
"So, you don't have to worry about me... I have got what I want, and from now on it is the most perfect state of life."
As she said, her eyes condensed, and the lily in her palm suddenly bloomed with a more brilliant and dazzling luster.
The energy of just this flower filled the whole world and made the whole courtyard full of vitality.
"If you don't mind, why don't you stay here for a few more days?"
"I am also willing to do my best to help you find your old friends."
