Ah Dai nodded and said, "Yes! You're alive, and you're doing well. I've already strengthened the meridians in your body; from now on, your body will be much tougher. Doesn't it feel good to be alive? Don't dwell on the past anymore. Start over. You're no longer a thief guild retriever; you've been reborn."

Why did you save me? Why didn't you let me die? I... I..." As she spoke, Mie Feng suddenly threw herself into Ah Dai's arms, tears flowing in agonized sobs.
