Awakening Later

Xiao Yan's movements gradually slowed. His Heavenly State Soul warned him of danger, and he realized something was wrong. Unfortunately, the ability affecting him now was far stranger than the Yao Tyranny he had encountered before. Moreover, while being intimate with Qing Lin, Xiao Yan's guard against his surroundings had been at its lowest. By then, it was already too late.

The crushing dizziness in his mind overwhelmed everything. Xiao Yan's vision went black, and he slumped backward. All consciousness was completely severed.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan finally awoke from that endless haze and chaos. He forced his eyes open with some difficulty and discovered that the golden morning light of dawn was slanting in through the window.

"Young Master, Young Master, you're awake!" Qing Lin's voice immediately sounded beside Xiao Yan's ear. It was full of worry, though she was trying her best to remain calm.

Having only just awakened, Xiao Yan's movements were sluggish. However, as Qing Lin spoke beside him, the muddled sensation steadily faded, and he gradually regained clarity.

The shocking, overwhelming scenes from before he lost consciousness replayed in his mind.

When Xiao Yan tried to sense his own body, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of clarity. The faint weariness that had lingered within him during the Ancient Clan's fierce battle and throughout the process of Yao Lao's revival had vanished without a trace. Xiao Yan only felt that his soul power was lighter and more agile than ever, as though a burden weighing a thousand pounds had been lifted from his entire body.

Although Xiao Yan generally preferred arduous cultivation and disliked sleeping, he knew full well that such an invigorating feeling could not possibly come from merely getting some sleep.

"Young Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault!"
