My entire body felt as though it were on fire.
The scorching heat wave burned her, her skin growing unbearably hot step by step, as if the very air radiated burning flames, incinerating her flesh and internal organs.
The moisture within her body evaporated, ultimately transforming into surging steam in the sweltering environment.
Lu Mingming took a heavy, deep breath of the air, holding it to relieve her lungs' demand, while leaning with difficulty against the protective barrier, awaiting rescue.
She was unwilling to activate the protective shield, fearing it would escalate the external impact and undo all her previous efforts.

The Witch Clan leader cruelly detonated himself within the protective shield, leaving no trace behind. His entire being dispersed into flames, coalescing into dust, and the Witch Clan vanished forevermore.
"Will anyone find me? Or will I die with him?"
As Lu Mingming pondered this, faces of old acquaintances flashed through her mind, one after another.
Their figures intermingled with memories of her past life, ultimately leaving behind a blurry impression in her mind.
"If I die... will he be sad?"
...
"...Water..."
Lu Mingming cried out fuzzily. Her throat felt as though it were being cut by a knife; a single word could spell her doom.
Hearing this, a jumble of sounds arose from the surroundings.
"Sister, you're awake?!"

The voice was filled with excitement and trembling.
Immediately after, warm water was gently dabbed onto Lu Mingming's lips, alleviating a trace of the dry heat.
Lu Mingming stubbornly insisted, "...I want water."
In the quiet, spacious ward.
Yi Fu, with trembling hands, used a cotton swab dipped in warm water to moisten Lu Mingming's lips, wetting her cracked mouth.
She dared not give even a sip of water, relying entirely on these small amounts from the cotton swab to provide a meager quantity.
"I'm dying of thirst."
After a while, Lu Mingming managed to utter this sentence with great difficulty.
Her eyes fluttered open, and the bright light shone directly into them.
In her peripheral vision, Yi Fu, with a crestfallen face and holding a cotton swab, looked as if he had just attended a funeral, shrinking into a ball of grievance.

A small dog, seeing its master awake, wanted to leap into her arms but restrained itself.
Yi Fu quickly pressed the button by the bed, summoning the doctor.
Lu Mingming's mind was blank. She shifted her neck, trying to survey her surroundings.
The white walls and the surrounding equipment instantly told her she was in a hospital.
All her memories flooded back.
"So I didn't die..."
"Do you sound disappointed?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Fu was almost infuriated to death.
"Do you know that by the time I arrived, you were only clinging to life, consumed by the poisonous gas! Only a single membrane protected your last line of defense, barely preventing that gas from making you stupid!"
Mentioning this, Yi Fu transformed from a docile, puppy-like figure into a ferocious wolf cub.

He gazed intently at the screen, awaiting the other party's reply.
Lu Mingming's personal communicator vibrated.

She opened it and replied nervously and briefly, "Everything is fine, I am diligently teaching the cubs their studies every day."
Orannar, though wronged, did not speak, sending a sticker of a small cat crying its eyes out.
Lu Mingming: ?
【Lu Mingming: Don't worry, I'm very healthy, everything is normal.】
The other party did not reply to her message for the first time.
Thus, successfully discharged, Lu Mingming was once again, to her bewilderment, forced to return to the hospital for specialized examinations.
The Alliance began a political purge lasting half a year.
During the lengthy political cleansing, Lu Mingming finally obtained a rare period of rest, teaching Class A in the quarantine zone.
Time flew by, and the first batch of Class A cubs that Lu Mingming had taught finally graduated.
With others being almost "disconnected" for over half a year, she relied on her personal communicator for daily exchanges, without having to overthink or be bothered by public attention.

Everything proceeded normally. Lu Mingming finally began to live a life free from the influence of others, a life that was exceptionally peaceful and satisfactory.
Lu Mingming adjusted her fitted dress, a beautiful Royal Academy tie around her neck.
"Now, please welcome this year's most popular teacher – Teacher Lu Mingming – to the stage to present this year's outstanding students!"
Cheers filled the hall. Lu Mingming, blushing, walked onto the podium.
Just as she had practiced, she stood on the stage and spoke eloquently, reading out the names of familiar students and presenting them with trophies and small red flowers.
The cubs affectionately sat around Lu Mingming, and the first photograph was taken under the guidance of the photographer.
The moment it ended, a tall figure from the seating area stood up and left, immediately drawing Lu Mingming's attention.
Wait... was that Orannar?
