Chapter 542: Adding a Bit More Kindness
“Glug, glug...”
“Splish, splash...”
In the long-parched Gobi Desert, the sound of flowing water and splashing waves suddenly echoed.
Countless people stood frozen in shock, unable to believe their eyes. Was this a dream they had yet to wake from? A hallucination before death? Or perhaps an illusion conjured by demons to bewilder their minds—a mirage in the vast desert?
Especially those who had just passed by the Daoist and turned their heads to watch his actions—each of them was utterly dumbfounded.
Before them, clear water surged forth with incredible force. At first, it mixed with the dust of the Gobi, turning murky. But since the land here was mostly composed of fractured rock layers, the water quickly cleared and began spreading outward. Some travelers, who had been walking close to the Daoist, found the water lapping at their feet.
They all lowered their heads, eyes widening in disbelief.
“Water!” At last, someone lunged forward.
Bending down, they scooped up a handful of water.
They had expected to grab at nothing but air, yet instead, they felt the solid weight of cool, clear water in their hands. Under the lingering heat of the desert at dusk, the sensation sent an invigorating chill through them.
Bringing it to their lips, they drank, and it was as sweet and refreshing as celestial nectar.
