Awakening

Xiao Tian was about to speak, Xiao Meng's voice came again. "Father, remember to remove the head when you roast it, and add plenty of fragrant seasoning."

Xiao Ling and Xiao Tian were both taken aback, not expecting Xiao Meng to suddenly make a 180-degree turn.

Xiao Tian looked at her hesitantly and asked, "Didn't you just say that bunnies are cute?"

"Yeah, but without a head, if you add too much seasoning to cover it up, it won't be cute anymore," Xiao Meng said seriously, blinking her big eyes.

"Haha, good, good, good, I'll arrange the best roasted rabbit for you all."

Xiao Meng Xiao Ling cheered and hugged Xiao Tian's arm. "Daddy is the best!"

Night, the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

Xiao Tian checked the woman's condition again, and at this moment, the woman's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

Her complexion regained some color, and her breathing gradually became steady.

I think he should be able to recover and regain consciousness soon.

After feeding her another pill, Xiao Tian looked at the two little girls sleeping peacefully together next to the woman.

Xiao Tian gently covered them with the blankets that had slipped off, then used his Dou Qi to shield them, just in case they woke up and made a sound to wake them or had any ill intentions.

One should not harbor thoughts of harming others, but one must be wary of others.

After settling everything in, Xiao Tian returned to the campfire, separated several strands of his Soul Perception everything around him, and then slowly closed his eyes to begin cultivating.

early morning.

"Mmm~~"

A faint whimper suddenly echoed from inside the Mountain Cave.

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Tian, who was cultivating, instantly opened his eyes and looked towards the stone bed.

The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally, she narrowed her eyes a crack.

In her daze, she saw a soft, shimmering white light.

"Where am I? Or am I already dead?" A soft murmur slowly escaped from the woman's lips.

The woman had just swallowed the Eighth Grade Healing Pills she had taken out before she lost consciousness, but she couldn't be 100% sure if she was still alive, since she was unconscious in a mountain range overrun by magical beasts and could be discovered by other magical beasts at any time.

Her heavy eyelids slowly lifted, and the woman gradually opened her eyes. Her eyes were deep as the night sky, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to hold a hint of melancholy.

At the same time, consciousness returned like a tide, and she finally became fully awake.

As the vision gradually cleared, what came into view was an uneven, jagged rock wall, like the ceiling of a Mountain Cave, with stones that emitted a moon-white light embedded in many places in the Mountain Cave.

She sat up instantly, but a feeling of weakness and emptiness in her soul welled up from her Sea of Consciousness. The woman didn't flinch, but she was no weakling; she quickly adjusted her state.

She remembered being in a forest before she lost consciousness, but now she opened her eyes to find herself in a Mountain Cave -like place. However, there was no panic in her eyes; instead, she began to observe her surroundings.

Before she could even turn her gaze, a gentle male voice sounded in her ear, "Awake?"

The woman did not respond immediately. She slowly raised her eyelids, turning her gaze from the uneven stone wall to the direction from which the sound came.

Beside the fire in the very center of the Mountain Cave sat a man dressed in a blue woven robe. His face was handsome and refined, with a captivating yet masculine air, and his aura was otherworldly and noble.

When his gaze fell upon her, there was no hint of aggression, but rather a gentle inquiry, as if he had already anticipated that she would wake up.

The woman couldn't help but be attracted to the handsome man in front of her. In all her years of life, the man before her was the most handsome man she had ever seen, without a doubt.

Her gaze lingered on him briefly before returning to his, her voice low and calm. "Who are you? Did you save me?"

Xiao Tian was slightly taken aback by her words, seemingly not expecting her to be so direct. He then chuckled and said, "As for saving you, you could say that, but before asking someone's name, shouldn't you at least introduce yourself first?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the woman's eyes flickered slightly, realizing her earlier lapse in composure. She lowered her eyelashes, her voice softer than before, yet still clear. "I was presumptuous."

The woman glanced up at Xiao Tian, the weakness deep within her soul still lingering, yet she still straightened her back. She raised her hand and cupped it in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Tian. Upon seeing the blue sleeves of his robe, her pupils contracted sharply, but she quickly composed herself.

"My name is Xuan Yi. Thank you for saving my life."

Upon hearing the other person's name, Xiao Tian immediately looked up at her, quickly scanning her face. No wonder she seemed familiar; that was the reason.

He quickly withdrew his gaze. Having seen the woman's expression earlier, Xiao Tian stated his name, then pointed to the woman's side and said softly:

"Xiao Tian, don't worry, I didn't change your clothes. Those two girls changed them for you, and they're the ones who saved you."

Following the direction Xiao Tian pointed, the woman discovered that near the wall on the stone bed where she was sitting, two exquisitely beautiful little girls, like porcelain dolls, were sleeping. The two little girls looked very similar.

The two were fast asleep, their rosy faces bearing sweet smiles, their long eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if they were immersed in a beautiful dream.

Upon seeing the two adorable little girls, the woman's eyes softened instantly, and a loving glow rose within her.

"Your daughter?" Xuan Yi looked Xiao Tian and the two little girls up and down, noticing many similarities between them.

Xiao Tian nodded slightly.

Xuan Yi wanted to reach out and touch them, but stopped in the end, perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing their sweet dreams, or perhaps because he saw the Dou Qi Shield around the little girl.

No wonder my conversation hadn't woken them up. Although I'm very weak now, I can still sense a powerful aura on the shield, indicating that the man by the campfire is quite strong.

Xuan Yi glanced at them gently, then slowly stood up and dragged his weak body toward Xiao Tian. Perhaps he was afraid of waking the girls, or perhaps he was too weak to resist seeking warmth from the fire.

Xiao Tian looked up and quietly watched the other person walk towards him. He did not choose to help her up, because the woman in front of him was also a strong person and did not need such a gesture that would make her appear weak.

He pointed to a large rock nearby, Xuan Yi nodded in understanding, then walked towards the rock.

Approaching Xiao Tian, Xuan Yi Xiao Tian, despite his weakened state, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Xiao Tian saving my life. I will certainly repay you with generous gifts in the future."

Xiao Tian, who was tending to the fire in front of him, raised his head slightly upon hearing the woman's words. When he looked at Xuan Yi, his gaze faltered slightly.
