Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"Master, please go upstairs to put your luggage. I'll wait for you here." After checking in, Lin Dai said to Li Li that as a man it was inconvenient for him to go up with her.

"Just call me Li Li."

"Okay, Sister Li."

Li Li felt a little helpless. Why did everyone call her sister? In fact, she was younger than anyone else.

After watching Li Li go upstairs, Lin Dai immediately took out the magic device and dialed Lan Qi's contact symbol. Lan Qi was busy on a mission at the moment. When he heard Lin Dai's voice and learned that he had reunited with Y, he felt a rare strong curiosity. He put aside the task at hand and answered the call.

“Ahhhhhhh…”

Lin Dai's exclamation was heard immediately, and he unconsciously moved the magic device away from his ear.

"Lan Qi, I've received the person! Guess who she is? I can't believe it!" Lin Dai ignored his image in the hostel lobby. He suppressed his shock in front of Li Li just now. "She is only sixteen years old! And just an apprentice! I feel like an ignorant child in front of her."

Lan Qi was also greatly shocked. Based on his understanding of Y over the past half month, he originally guessed that Y might be a senior wizard or research scholar in the industry. He felt inferior to many of Jiang Hou's views. He did not expect that Y was so young. Even Lan Qi could not help but feel frustrated.

"Where are you now?" Lan Qi asked.

"Jin Yuan, I will help her pack her luggage and will return to the academy to find you later."

Lan Qi hesitated for a moment, "Why don't we go directly to Yu Lan? I'm almost done with my work here, let's eat first."

"Okay, let's set off immediately."

Li Li then realized that "Yu Lan" was a famous restaurant in Kyoto. At the Lancheng branch, reservations had to be made in advance, otherwise there would be no seats. When they arrived, they were allowed in under the name of Lan Qi...

It was indeed the headquarters. The overall decoration was more magnificent than that of Green Stone City. It was rumored that every beam and every petal were carefully woven by architectural masters according to ancient spells. Every room was named after a magical herb: Qinghuan, Duruo, Feiling, Konglan... Li Li was in Youxuan Pavilion.

Lan Qi arrived at the right time, pushed open the carved wooden door, and met Li Li's eyes. Although Lin Dai had revealed that Y was a young girl, he was still amazed to see her with his own eyes.

He suppressed his inner shock and greeted Li Li with a smile.

"Hello, Lan Qi, also known as Lan on the Internet." Lan is his virtual name.

"Li Li." She responded with clear eyes.

The three of them sat down at the magic rune table. Lan Qi ordered some signature dishes of "Bi Lan Xuan". They were poetic in shape and tasted excellent. Even Li Li, who had no interest in food, tried a few more bites.

More than half a month has passed since the meeting at the riverside. After many improvements, the spirit-wing aircraft proposed by Li Li has become perfect. Lan Qi, as an apprentice studying for a master's degree and a doctorate, has applied to his mentor to enter the mysterious Star Computing Center. It is difficult for ordinary students from other schools to set foot here, but because Lan Qi is highly valued by his mentor, he allows them to use its resources in their spare time.

They agreed to set off for Huaqing Secret Realm the next day. After dinner, Li Li said goodbye to the two and looked around the river. Night fell, but it was not yet the hour of Xu. With nothing to do, Li Li stepped into the nearby painting realm. Although it was getting dark, there was still an endless stream of visitors.

The exhibition showcases the masterpieces of Ling You, one of the most popular young painters of our time. His style is based on post-illusionism, with bright colors, bold brushstrokes and no constraints. Ling You firmly believes that art should be faithful to personal feelings and reshape the external scene with the artist's inner emotions.

Ling You made a stunning debut two years ago, shaking the global art world. However, he is extremely mysterious and has not made a public appearance in the past two years. There are many legends about him. For some reason, Li Li suddenly discovered that Ling You's name is the same as that of a magical medicinal herb. This coincidence surprised her.

Li Li stared at a painting titled "Waiting" for a long time. In the painting, an elegant girl sits quietly by the river, her sad and beautiful face reflected on the water, her autumn-like eyes hide deep thoughts, and the stars above her head are vast, as if a believer is waiting for her god. The whole painting exudes a depressing atmosphere, but it also contains a glimmer of hope, although hope seems out of reach.

"Do you have a special liking for this painting?" A soft male voice broke the silence.

"I can't say I like her." Feeling someone next to her, Li Li did not turn her head.

"What do you think the girl is waiting for?" the man asked again.

"It's hard to know, maybe she is looking forward to redemption. But it is also possible that endless waiting is the best ending for her. No result is sometimes the best result." An inaudible sigh seemed to echo in the air.

The man was a little surprised. He had asked many people this question before, and most people thought that the girl was waiting for her lover. This was the first time he heard such a unique answer.

Li Li withdrew her gaze and turned to the man beside her. He kept a distance of one meter, which was both polite and appropriate, making people feel respected rather than violated.

Lilia was startled. The man was tall and straight, with a handsome face and poetic eyes. He looked like a spring breeze. Unfortunately... the man seemed to have difficulty walking and was sitting on a magic wheelchair.

Feeling Lilia's gaze, the man smiled calmly, as if he was used to it, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me? It's not your fault." Lilia was more and more surprised.

The man obviously didn't expect her to respond like this, and his smile became even warmer, "My name is Lin You, a traveler from the ghost realm." He couldn't help but reveal his identity.

Lilia was stunned for a moment, then looked at the signature below the painting, which was exactly Lin You. She had never thought that the legendary Lin You was right in front of her. No wonder he had not set foot in the world in the past two years. It was indeed a pity.

"I'm used to it." Lin You seemed to have seen through Lilia's thoughts.

"Your legs?" Lilia asked softly.

"A mysterious disaster," he answered.

For some reason, even though Lilia was still young, Lin You instinctively regarded her as a peer. Perhaps... she truly understood the meaning of the painting, or perhaps the regret in her eyes was not mixed with sympathy.

"Can I see your legs?" Lilia suddenly made a rather abrupt request.

"I have studied healing magic," Lilia added.

Lin You's eyes flashed with surprise, and after a moment's hesitation, he did not ask how Lilia could master healing spells at such a young age. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he finally accepted her kindness. He also wondered why he trusted this strange girl so much.

Lin You led Lilia into the private quiet room in the exhibition hall.

Under her gaze, Lin You leaned over slightly awkwardly and slowly rolled up his trouser legs. For some reason, he didn't dare to look Lilia in the eye.

But Lilia was completely unaware. She squatted down and examined Lin You's legs attentively. The calves, which had not seen the sun for a long time, were pale and bloodless, with shocking scars all over them. The calf muscles were obviously atrophied, showing the severity of the disaster.

She gently touched Lin You's leg, and Lin You shrank slightly, obviously not used to being touched by others, and was about to ask her to stop.

"I can heal." Lilia raised her eyes and looked at him seriously.

"What did you say?!" Lin You turned his head suddenly and asked in disbelief, his voice trembling and his heart beating like a drum.

"I said I can repair your leg." Lilia smiled, full of confidence.
