Bian Lingyu hadn’t expected her to still remember something from ten years ago, or that she would even be able to connect him to his wretched state at the time.
He was once pinned under a mountain of corpses, his body was covered in filth and his bones were shattered. It was Shi Luoyi who dug him out of that pit, and then kept feeding him talisman water to dispel the turbid qi. Bian Lingyu was interacting with a lower realm cultivator for the first time. He didn't even know how to restrain his divine body, and when she leaned over to hug him, he still carried the pressure of his original form.
She couldn't lift him.
