"Senior Sister!" Joy surged through Li Xiaoya's heart. Filled with delighted surprise, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Hong's hand, but saw no further movement. Anxiety crept over him. Did I see it wrong?
Suddenly!
Zhang Hong's finger gave an even more pronounced twitch!
"Senior Sister!" This time, Li Xiaoya saw it clearly and cried out in delight. The instant he cried out, Zhang Hong's body suddenly trembled. Her eyelids fluttered, and she actually began to open her eyes slowly...
Li Xiaoya felt as though a lively rabbit had been stuffed into his chest, making his heart leap wildly. More nervous than he had ever been, he watched Zhang Hong's slowly opening eyes with overwhelming joy...
At last!
Under Li Xiaoya's expectant gaze, Zhang Hong's eyes finally opened all the way!
"Senior... Sister!" A flash of disappointment suddenly crossed Li Xiaoya's bright eyes as he murmured. There was not a trace of vitality in Zhang Hong's open eyes. Like the eyes of a dead fish, they were dull and lifeless.
"Senior Sister!" Li Xiaoya gritted his teeth and sent his divine sense into Zhang Hong's body, gently calling to her through it...
"..." But all that answered him was silence...
"Tsk! It still isn't enough!" At some point, Li Xiaoya had regained his composure. He thought bitterly to himself.
However!
Li Xiaoya also realized with delight that, although Zhang Hong's soul had not yet recovered, the fact that she had opened her eyes meant it had recovered considerably. Her soul might have been seventy or eighty percent stronger than before, enough to consciously control her body. The twitch of her finger and the opening of her eyes all showed that her soul had recovered a great deal...
The situation was certainly encouraging.
