While Gu Xia remained continuously offline, Ruo Lin, who had been lying there like a corpse, slowly recovered...
Under normal circumstances, the aftereffects of Ruo Lin overdrawing her soul power to use a combat technique would have made it impossible for her to wake up for several days.
But within this mysterious cave, the light emitted by the crystal-blue tree seemed to be slowly healing Ruo Lin's depleted soul power.
Because Gu Xia's soul contained that Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Flower, the light's healing effects all acted upon him instead.
Thus, Gu Xia, who had been offline the entire time, failed to notice Ruo Lin's abnormal condition.
Right now, he was studying that seemingly ordinary bronze ancient ring.
Time slowly passed as Gu Xia studied <Ten Thousand Uses for the Myriad Things Cauldron—An Ultra-Detailed Tutorial and User Manual!>...
"Mm..."
After an unknown amount of time, Ruo Lin let out a soft murmur and slowly opened her confused eyes...
After looking around, a strange expression appeared on her refined face.
"Is this the world after death?"
"Unfortunately, it isn't. Of course, if you want to take a look, I can send you on your way..."
"Who!?"
The sudden reply startled Ruo Lin. She hurriedly stood up and warily looked toward the source of the voice...
"Is that how you treat your savior?"
Facing Ruo Lin's vigilance, Gu Xia merely stared back at her expressionlessly.
The moment Ruo Lin saw Gu Xia's face clearly, she understood.
This absurdly handsome youth before her was the "angel" she had seen in the last moment before fainting.
At that thought, a faint blush crept onto Ruo Lin's cheeks.
She secretly spat to herself. Who told this man to be so handsome? He had made her mistake him for a messenger sent to guide her to paradise.
