Xun'er, Have You Seen Your Sister-in-Law?

Saint Pill City, within the city.

In a secluded little house, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and groggily climbed out of bed.

"Is it... nighttime?"

Looking at the night outside, Xiao Yan held his head and finally recalled what had happened earlier.

Alchemy, Pill Seizure, reversal, ninth tier.

It could be said that, with such terrifying expenditure, if not for Hun Ruoruo's Pure Water Dou Qi assistance, then with Xiao Yan's current soul realm, his Soul Force would likely have long since been drained dry, leaving him a dried corpse.

"Pure Water Dou Qi... Dunyī Pill... Right, Ruoruo!"

Forcing himself through the dizziness in his mind, Xiao Yan abruptly sat up and began searching around.

Sure enough, when Xiao Yan lifted the blanket, an incomparably familiar feminine fragrance drifted out from between the bedding and entered deep into his nostrils.

Clearly, the one who had taken care of him while he was unconscious was that girl he had constantly been thinking of.

Xiao Yan suddenly froze, silently looking at the bed beneath him.

The bed, which had originally been neglected due to his arduous alchemy practice, had now been completely refreshed. The bedding was laid out squarely and neatly. Though it looked somewhat old, it had been washed snow-white and clean, without the slightest sweat stain. It was obvious that it had been changed frequently.

It was clear that she had put a great deal of care into it.

Xiao Yan let out a low sigh and smiled bitterly. "That silly girl."

Since they had been forced apart back then, a full year had already passed.

And the longer they were separated, the more nervous Xiao Yan became.

He swore that nothing in this life, or even everything from his previous life combined, had ever made him this nervous.
