Chapter 3: Heaven’s Blessing
Water gushed out of the mirror, and in just a few seconds, Feng Xiyan and everyone present were soaked.
Snapping out of his shock, Feng Xiyan quickly ordered, "Quick! Bring something to hold the water!"
"Yes, Great General!"
While the generals rushed out to find containers, Yan Bingyang scooped up some water with his hands and took a sip. As the cold liquid slid down his throat, the burning pain instantly subsided.
Staring at the water in disbelief, he muttered, "It's water... It's really water!"
Coming back to his senses, he hurriedly grabbed a cracked earthen bowl from the low table and filled it with water.
Holding the bowl like a precious treasure, he presented it to Feng Xiyan. "Great General, the water is safe to drink. Please have some."
Feng Xiyan took the bowl and drank it in one go. The water tasted sweet and cool, like fresh mountain spring water.
Looking at the mirror, still gushing with water, Feng Xiyan's heart surged with hope. Raising the empty bowl high, he declared, "Heaven has eyes! Our Feng Army will survive!"
When his words echoed in the surroundings, tears welled up in the soldiers' eyes. Seconds later, they raised their fists and shouted in unison, "Heaven has eyes! Our Feng Army will survive!"
With their morale reignited, the soldiers rushed forward to scoop the water with their hands. Smiles broke out across their dust-covered faces as they drank.
