    His walk was another clue. Even after changes, Gu Chengrui still carried the telltale posture of a soldier. This newfound elegance felt alien to her.


    Zhou Ying pushed the noodles toward him. “I haven’t eaten in two days. Eat quickly.”


    Gu Chengrui started eating, his movements devoid of their usual roughness. He even picked up the noodles with chopsticks instead of slurping them.


    A glint flickered in her eyes as she observed him. In a sh, a dagger materialized in her hand, held against his throat. “Who are you? What have you done to Chengrui?”


    Gu Chengrui, or whoever inhabited his body now, chuckled, pushing the hand holding the weapon away. “Let me finish first, then I’ll exin everything.”


    “You better,” Zhou Ying warned, refusing to rx her vignce.


    Despite the smile ying on his lips, Gu Chengrui devoured the noodles with uncharacteristic speed, yet remained silent.


    Zhou Ying found no amusement in his refined behavior, only annoyance. She grabbed two strawberries, popping them into her mouth with a frustrated grimace.


    Thankfully, he didn’t prolong the wait. Within fifteen minutes, he polished off the noodles, soup, and even a strawberry to cleanse his pte.

    “And?”


    Gu Chengrui paused, then asked, “Do you recall anything about the Divine Doctor Yaoshan?”


    “No.” Zhou Ying shook her head, but the sound seemed to trigger a surge of memories—memories of Mother God.


    The revtion almost knocked her off bnce. Gu Chengrui caught her swiftly, guiding her onto the bed. “Rest now. We’ll talkter.”


    He turned and headed toward the kitchen to clean the dishes.


    Alone, Zhou Ying grappled with the influx of memories.


    Images shed before her. A devastating gue, a desperate search for the Double Flowers on Jade Mountain, encountering the Divine Doctor Yaoshan, their journey as healers, blossoming love…


    Their ns for marriage were cut short by the Divine Doctor’s tribtion. He entered the cycle of reincarnation to ovee it, while Mother God remained to protect the continent.


    When cmity threatened, Mother God, drawn to the technology and resources of Earth, made her arrangements and descended.
