Rebirth from the Ashes

Fu Qingxuan went forward to perform a physical examination on Fu Qingli. For extra measures, he ran off to call Shen Xi.

He was at the doorway when Shen Xi came down the stairs. Fu Qingxuan pulled her into Fu Qingli's bedroom so she could check on Fu Qingli.

"I'm fine." Fu Qingli's voice was weak and gruff. His face was also discolored.

The others looked at Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan.

The pair nodded. Fu Qingli was injured inside out. Anyone else would require major surgery at the hospital.

However, Shen Xi administered Fu Qingli drugs the moment she found him. The potent drugs repaired most of the damage inside his body, leaving only the superficial wounds that seemed gruesome.

Fu Qingli had a narrow escape from death. Had it not for his great physical fitness and strong willpower, it was likely he would have died like Fu Hannian before he was found.

Fu Hannian would have survived if surgery was timely. However, the Lord did justice by letting a man like him die.

Fu Qingli was awake and looking good. Afraid of disturbing Lu Guoguo from her rest, Fu Qingli instructed Lu Li to carry her next door.

The little girl opened her eyes in a daze when Lu Li touched her. Following the sight of Fu Qingli, Lu Guoguo could not help but bawl. It was gut-wrenching to watch.

"I'm okay. Daddy is okay." With Fu Qingli's heart bursting with sadness, relief, and happiness, he reached out to wipe away the little girl's tears.

Biting her lips, the little girl kept to herself. She nuzzled against his palm like a kitten following the stretch of Fu Qingli's hand. Her raspy voice reflected her dejection. "Don't die, Daddy."

Fu Qingli's heart melted as his palm met the little girl's supple face. Nodding his head, he softly uttered with a shattered glint in his eyes, "Daddy won't die. Don't cry, Guoguo."

Lu Guoguo clung onto his arm and bobbed her head. She lifted her chin and wiped away her tears before noticing the room full of people. Out of embarrassment, she buried her face in the sheets.

Looking at the adorable little girl, Shen Xi tugged on Li Yuan's arm and picked on the flesh of his palm. She whispered, "Brother, let's have a daughter too."

Oh, gawd! Daughters were the cutest and sweetest little thing ever!

She kept her voice low, thinking the conversation was only between them. Fu Qingxuan's keen ears somehow picked up on it. The latter turned to look at her before turning his head back without a word.

Shen Xi cleared her throat. "…"

Lu Guoguo might be awake, but there were a lot of things unsuited for a child her age to listen to. As Lu Li carried her away, Lu Guoguo reluctantly waved goodbye to everyone in the room but her eyes were fixated on Fu Qingli with worry.

Now that Fu Qingli had regained consciousness with Great-uncle and Fu Hanji present, the family had the right to find out how Fu Hannian had died.

Fu Qingli told them the whole story. After Fu Hannian wounded him, Fu Qingli knew that there was no way to track him, let alone get even once Fu Hannian escaped. Hence, Fu Qingli jumped into the waters with Fu Hannian.

While battling it out at sea, the pair encountered a maelstrom and was sucked into it. Fu Hannian hit his head hard on the reef during his escape from the maelstrom.

Then came the storm. Dragging Fu Hannian along, Fu Qingli drifted along the waves but could see no land or boat. Ultimately, he wafted onto the island.
