Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2554: Chapter 2553: The Third Life!

Lin Dong slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and all around was still that familiar yet eerie blood-colored world, with the air filled with a faint scent of blood and mystery.

He sat up, and the fragments of memory flooded in his mind like a tidal wave, gradually piecing together into clear images of everything he experienced in his second life.

”Country, family, world... sacrificing oneself for martyrdom...” Lin Dong murmured to himself, a light of sudden realization flickering in his eyes.

He finally understood that the long second life was not just a series of life-and-death trials but a profound baptism of his deepest soul.

He learned how to bear the burden of his country and family and how to sacrifice his life for the way in his heart.

As the memories became clearer, Lin Dong felt a warm and powerful force rising from the depths of his heart.

It was the spiritual power transformed from the memories of the second life, flowing slowly within him, nurturing his sea of consciousness.

He closed his eyes to look within and saw a new petal blooming on the spirit force black lotus representing his spiritual power in the sea of consciousness.

From the previous seven petals, it became eight petals now.

The spirit force black lotus shone brilliantly, indicating yet another leap in his spiritual power realm.

He jumped straight from the 37th level to the 38th level.

”This life’s experiences actually let me directly level up a whole stage. It seems the training in the second life was more rewarding than in the first.” Lin Dong thought to himself, feeling both emotional and gratified about his progress.

But thinking about it made sense, the first life mostly tested Luo Xue, while the second life tested him.

Thus, the growth in spiritual power was naturally greater in the second life than in the first.

Just as Lin Dong revelled in the joy of his spiritual power rising from the 37th to the 38th level, the scenes in the blood-colored world changed once more.

The previously solidified blood-colored mist began to flow slowly, as if hinting at some unknown change.

Followed by, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the void, like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, piercing through the thick blood color and illuminating the position where Lin Dong and Luo Xue stood.

”This means the trial of the third life is about to start.” Luo Xue said heavily.

Lin Dong nodded and looked at that light, saying slowly, ”What will be the trial of the third life?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the light shone on the two of them, like a portal, transporting them from this blood-colored world to a new world.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a quiet and ancient village, surrounded by scattered farmhouses, with smoke rising in curls, weaving a harmonious picture with the distant mountains.

In the gentle light of dawn, a village embraced by the mountains and shrouded in mist quietly awoke. Here was the starting point of Lin Dong and Luo Xue’s third reincarnation, a peaceful paradise called Taoyuan Village, where time seemed to slow down, peaceful and serene.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue, travelers with fateful burdens from the depths of their souls and fragments of past life memories, existed in this land with new identities.

They became childhood companions.

Both looked only in their teens.

”What will be the trial of the third life?” Luo Xue looked at Lin Dong and asked.

Lin Dong shook his head, ”Let’s adapt to our identities first.”

The two of them started anew their life in the third reincarnation.

They played and grew up on this land, chasing butterflies among the flowers in spring, frolicking by the stream in summer, collecting fallen leaves to weave dreams in the autumn wind, snuggling for warmth under the winter snow, sharing secrets and laughter.

However, unlike the clear goals of the previous two lives, the trial of the third life was like a lighthouse in the fog, unclear and full of unknowns.

They seem to have forgotten reality and their past life identities, like newborn babies, filled with curiosity and the urge to explore this world.

But this innocence and harmlessness also allowed their emotions to unknowingly take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Dong and Luo Xue reached the age of 15. At eighteen, under the witness of the village elders, they held a simple and warm wedding.

Red candles shone brightly, the character for happiness filled the door, the two wore traditional clothing, hand in hand entering the hall of marriage. At that moment, their eyes held only each other, and it seemed as if the entire world stood still for them.

”First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to the elders, then the husband and wife bow to each other...” With the MC’s chant, Lin Dong and Luo Xue completed the ancient and sacred ceremony, from this moment on, they were not just childhood friends, but indispensable partners in each other’s lives.

On the wedding night, the moonlight like water filled the small hut, and the two snuggled together.

”In the first life, we were siblings, in the second, we were master and apprentice, and in the third, we are husband and wife...” Luo Xue lay in Lin Dong’s arms, ”Perhaps the trial of the third life is to test our love?”

”Perhaps.” Lin Dong nodded, thinking so too.

”Do you love me?” Luo Xue asked.

Lin Dong didn’t know how to answer. If it was within the third life world, then he should love her. After all, they grew up together, childhood companions, with so many beautiful memories and feelings.

But in the real world, clearly, it had not yet reached the level of love. After all, in the real world, he didn’t even know what she looked like, nor had they been together for more than a few days. How could he talk about love?

Luo Xue’s mindset was evidently the same as his.

”Don’t think too much, just focus on this life. Since in this life, fate has made us husband and wife, shouldn’t we fulfill the true rituals of a married couple?” Luo Xue looked at Lin Dong, somewhat curious.

In the real world, living for more than a hundred years, she had never experienced male-female feelings or explored the physical male-female matters.

In this illusionary world, she indeed wanted to take this opportunity to experience it.

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Dong to reply, she climbed onto Lin Dong’s body.

That night, under Luo Xue’s initiative, they completed the purest of marital rituals, and that tacit understanding and warmth silently flowed, warming the entire night.

Time passed, and three months flew by in an instant.

During these three months, Luo Xue became infatuated with Lin Dong, even saying something that shocked him.

”If we cannot leave this third world, being a countryside couple with you for a lifetime wouldn’t be so bad.”

Lin Dong said, ”But an illusory world is, after all, an illusion.”

”But the feeling is so real.” Luo Xue stared at Lin Dong with radiant eyes.

After she finished speaking, she kissed him again.

”See, just like this kiss.” Luo Xue playfully stuck out her tongue and laughed.

If it were in the real world, she definitely wouldn’t have such actions. But in this illusionary world, she completely let go.

Just like in a dream, in a dream, what couldn’t you dare to do?

”Husband, let’s have a child...” Luo Xue removed her rough hemp clothes, revealing her fair-skinned, creamy body, slowly walking toward Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was helpless; over these three months, even he could hardly resist.

After all, he was just a common person now, not a martial artist.

And Luo Xue, as if addicted, indulging every night, and even during the day, as long as it rained, she wouldn’t ’let go’ of Lin Dong.

”Where to this time?” Lin Dong held Luo Xue and asked softly.

Luo Xue thought for a moment and looked at the large bath bucket beside them.
