"It was my pleasure, master.
Just look at you. You're alive again. It was all worth it,"
Trude responded.
"Yes. Well, I still appreciate it. Now, let's go and see Austin," Nasir said.
Then, with a sharp wave of his sleeve, he collected Trude and set off towards the small world where Austin was cultivating in seclusion.
When he sensed people coming towards him, Austin's eyes opened.
"Master Nasir, you've finally come back to life! That's great!"
he exclaimed, standing to greet his friend.
"Yes. After lots of effort, I've managed to resurrect myself.
Austin, most of the credit goes to you.
If you hadn't helped me collect my spiritual avatars and spiritual soul marks, I could have missed my chance to come back to life.
Austin, I owe you a lot,"
Nasir replied with a smile.
"You're welcome, sir.
I made you a promise. I was obligated to fulfill it.
Please don't be so formal with me,"
Austin replied immediately.
"Well, if you say so.

ir asked as he glared down at the snake.
"Please forgive me, sir!
I want to live. Please don't kill me.
I have spent almost my whole life cultivating to reach my current strength and an endless lifespan. I don't want to lose everything I've worked so hard for!"
the little, white snake begged in a shaky voice.
"Fine. Since you're so eager to live, I'll give you one choice. Take this young man as your master and listen to everything he tells you.
If you don't, I will destroy your spiritual soul,"
Nasir commanded, pointing at Austin.
"You want me to serve this human brat?"
The little, white snake turned and looked at Austin. It hissed. Apparently, it was more disgusted at the thought of serving a human than dying.
"Okay. I won't force you, but I will kill you,"
Nasir said, frowning.
From under the snake, a burst of energy emerged.
The little, white snake scurried in circles, panicking.
"All right. All right! I'm willing to serve this young man!
Please let me live!"
it pleaded in a desperate tone.
