Su Xiaolu did not dwell on this. She had seen Zhou Zhi's legs when he was unconscious, but he didn't know it.

Now that he was conscious, there was nothing she could do if he was unwilling.

Su Xiaolu asked, "Are their cross sections round and smooth, like our normal skin?"

Su Xiaolu pointed at the back of her hand.

Zhou Zhi nodded. "Yes, after you fed me the spiritual liquid that time, my legs grew a little longer and the cross-section became smooth. Perhaps because my body was poisonous, they used to be black and purple."

"Xiaolu, my legs will grow out, right?"

This world was no longer the same. He did not know what would happen in the end. The dangers involved accompanied his new life. He had a chance to benefit from it and become a healthy person again.

Su Xiaolu nodded. "Yes, if you obtain enough energy, your legs will grow back. I know this goes against the laws of nature, but this is the current situation. There are natural mutations and abnormal stars."

Zhou Zhi smiled. "The world is mysterious."

"I made a guess about this mutation."

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and his eyes darkened. He said slowly, "Xiaolu, have you ever thought that there might be many worlds like the one we're in? Every world is not connected and they don't know about each other, unless something changes and the barrier between two worlds is broken. The worlds can then merge into a larger new world."

"In our current world, there's no longer any spiritual energy. The fantasy world can only be seen in books. As for those ancient, mysterious, and fantasy stories, they might have been true in the past. It's just like how in a thousand years, the dynasty we're in now might be passed down or drowned in the long river of history."

"Xiaolu, some of the fish species that appeared in Qinghai are those in ancient fantasy records. Have you ever thought that that world is like our world in the past? The fusion of the two worlds will cause a tremendous change soon. If there are so-called immortals in that world, we might have a difficult time."

Zhou Zhi's thoughts were far away. He was extremely intelligent and resourceful. Such a thing might scare others, but to him, he was looking forward to it.

Perhaps when ordinary people realized this, they would blame the heavens and be helpless, but he would not.

He looked forward to being reborn as a healthy person.

Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and said, "You're right. Your guess will be verified soon, but I believe that even if it's difficult, humans can survive. Don't underestimate the human body. Humans are very fragile, but they're also very tenacious. They're like weeds that can always survive."

Weed was the most suitable word to describe humans. No matter how barren a place was, it would be covered by weeds one day. No matter how powerful the potion was, it could not be eliminated. They could always grow tenaciously everywhere.

Humans were best at lying low and waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky.

"Perhaps after many years, people will be able to fly in the sky without using Internal force. They will be able to fight without having to bare their arms. They might even be able to fly out of the world to survive in the vast universe. There is no limit to their improvement and development."

Humans would never stop developing.

"That's right. I really hope I can live until then."

Zhou Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled. He put away his sharpness and smiled gently at Su Xiaolu. He felt that Su Xiaolu was like the sun. No matter where she stood, he would be attracted by the burning light on her body.

Longevity?

This word appeared in Su Xiaolu's mind. She smiled and said nothing.

She did not know if humans would live forever in the future. Anyway, in her previous life, humans had yet to achieve longevity. This answer would only be known a long time later.

"Xiaolu, will you want to live for a long time? Will you personally see what the future generations look like?"

Zhou Zhi suddenly asked Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu shook her head. "I don't want to live for so long. A hundred years is enough. The current state is the best. The future belongs to the future generations."

It was not necessarily good to live for too long. When she thought of it, she recalled a piece of news she had seen in her previous life. An old man had lived for more than a hundred years. All his relatives had passed away. He was so lonely. Later, he didn't want to live anymore and starved himself to death.

Living for too long was actually not that good. His family and friends were no longer around, and the prosperity of the world had shut him out. What was the point of living if he had nowhere to belong?

Zhou Zhi smiled and said gently, "If I can spend the rest of my life with the person I like, I won't have any regrets even if I only lived for 50 years."

Su Xiaolu nodded and ended the topic.

Before leaving, Su Xiaolu agreed to go out to sea with Zhou Zhi tomorrow night. After all, the sea was not peaceful now. With the ferocious Kun, it would be easier to take care of each other with more people around.

Su Xiaolu returned to the small courtyard.

The moment she arrived home, Old Wu started whining in the originally quiet courtyard.

"Aiyo, my hand is going to break..."

"My old waist..."

Su Xiaolu was caught between laughter and tears. The old man was indeed howling. She would never be soft-hearted.

However, after his cultivation ended, she would use her Internal Breath to ease the old man's fatigue like Gui You.

At night, Su Xiaolu bought a pile of herbs and packed them while supervising the old man's cultivation.

An Lie came over to see if Su Xiaolu needed his help.

"Master, why don't I stay? I can cook for you."

An Lie couldn't find a reason to stay. He touched his head and remembered that Su Xiaolu's cooking was a mess. He immediately had a flash of inspiration.

Su Xiaolu pondered. This was really an irresistible reason.

After thinking for a while, she nodded. "Alright then. Stay here and help with some chores. You can't neglect your cultivation either. You can't stop for a day, understand? There's no shortcut for building a foundation."

An Lie nodded. He was not afraid of hardship.

After dinner, An Lie practiced his martial arts. His head was covered in sweat and his expression was a little ferocious, but he did not complain that he was tired at all.

Su Xiaolu was grinding medicine and pounding it. Occasionally, she looked at them and realized that the old man was very quiet today.

Su Xiaolu suddenly felt that it was not bad to keep An Lie. This aroused the old man's determination to be competitive. A strong man would never admit defeat.

Su Xiaolu watched the medicinal stove and added some things to it from time to time.

When it was midnight, Su Xiaolu said, "That's enough." An Lie lay on the ground weakly, not wanting to move at all.
