Black and White Domain, Qin Family Forbidden Grounds!!
After so many days of keeping vigil, Qin Si still had not awakened.
"Brother!"
"Sister-in-law!"
"You should go rest. Hong'er can keep watch here."
"..."
After recovering for some time, Hong'er was no longer as weak as before.
However!!
The damage caused by consuming her blood essence was not something that could be repaired overnight.
Hong'er's cultivation had fallen to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and even her foundation had suffered irreversible damage.
Yet Hong'er had no regrets!!
As long as Qin Jishi could live, she would not regret it even if it cost her life.
Qin Jishi and White Dragon were both utterly haggard.
That haggardness did not come from their bodies, but from their spirits.
As long as Qin Si remained unconscious, guilt tormented them every moment of every day.
"Hong'er, Brother isn't tired. Not tired!"
Qin Jishi forced a smile. "Your body is still weak. Listen to Brother and go rest early. Brother can stay here."
"No!"
Hong'er stubbornly shook her head. "If Brother won't rest, then Hong'er will stay here with you."
Seeing Hong'er's stubbornness, Qin Jishi suddenly pulled a stern face.
"Hong'er, are you no longer going to listen to Brother?"
"Ah?"
Hong'er pursed her lips, looking somewhat wronged. "Brother, Hong'er only wants to keep you company."
Qin Jishi's heart ached, and his tone softened. "Hong'er, listen to Brother. Once you've recovered, come keep Brother company again, alright?"
"Be good!"
"..."
Tears swirled in Hong'er's eyes, but in the end, she nodded.
"Alright!!"
"Then!"
"Then Hong'er will come again tomorrow."
"..."
As they watched Hong'er leave the room, neither of them noticed Qin Si's eyelids twitching before he slowly opened his eyes.
"Mo... Mother..."
"Fa... Father..."
His voice was so weak, as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Yet!!
