The Master gently stroked my head and said, "That is the Changsheng Pill."
"Each one can extend a life by a thousand years."
"I have saved up for several thousand years to gather five."
"One of them was used to ensure your safety."
I lowered my head and remained silent.
The Master patted my shoulder and said softly, "Go rest now."
I returned to my room but found it impossible to sleep.
A few days later, I heard the news that A Yu's dragon father had moved away and disappeared.
I asked the Master, "Do you regret it?"
He smiled and replied, "Regret? What is there to regret?"
"You used something so precious to exchange for my life."
The Master looked at me seriously and said, "You are my disciple; once a teacher, always a father."
"As a father, there is nothing that is worth or not worth it, nothing to regret."
"As long as you are well, I will be satisfied."
I silently vowed to repay the Master well.
When I woke up, I found myself lying on a familiar bed; the Master had returned.
He touched my forehead gently and asked, "Are you awake?"
I sat up, feeling a bit lost. "Where did you go?"
The Master chuckled, "What? Were you worried that I would abandon you?"
I lowered my head again and said nothing.
The Master stroked my head once more and reassured me, "How could I?"
"You will always be my disciple."
"I will stay by your side until you grow up."
I looked up at my master and asked earnestly, "Really?"
He nodded, "Of course it's true."
"When have I ever lied to you?"
I smiled happily.
I felt as if I had the whole world in my hands.
But happiness is always fleeting.
In recent days, I had been feeling unusually drowsy.
My body was also accompanied by intense itching.
My master prescribed some medicine, which I took, but it was of no help.
At first, the itching was mild, just a little bit.
As time went on, it became more severe, and I could only scratch incessantly.
The more I scratched, the worse it got; I simply couldn't control myself.
I felt like I wanted to tear my own skin off.
Seeing this, my master gave me a pill.
After taking the pill, I indeed felt much better.
Finally, I could sleep soundly.
In the middle of the night, I was jolted awake by a wave of intense pain.
I tried to open my eyes but found my eyelids heavy.
I wanted to call for my master but realized I couldn't make a sound.
The pain was unbearable; I slammed into the bedpost.
Once, twice, three times...
I lost track of how many times I had collided with the ground until the pain finally subsided. As dawn approached, the agony came to a halt at last. I let out a sigh of relief, thinking I could finally rest. But little did I know, this was just the beginning.
My skin began to peel away from my body. For an entire day and night, my body shed a complete layer of skin. Weak and helpless, I lay on the bed, unable to move. My master held my skin in his hands, caressing it gently, meticulously exploring every corner without missing a spot. Once he finished with the last bit, he smiled in satisfaction.
Long Luan walked in from outside, smiling as she said, "Master, it's ready." My master nodded and headed outside. I was curious about how she ended up here.
Long Luan approached me and said with a smile, "Sister, I'm going out for a bit." I wanted to ask her what they were going to do, but words failed me. All I could do was watch helplessly as they left.
Sounds echoed from the courtyard. Struggling, I crawled to the window and looked outside. There, I saw my younger brother. He was hung upside down from a wooden beam, his skin pale from being soaked. Beside him was a large pot, boiling with fresh blood.
