The shudders Great Siming brought came in ever-stronger waves, sweeping through Chen Xiaojun's entire body like a ceaseless, surging sea.
Within Xiao Yi, the tremors and resonance Lesser Siming stirred deep in her soul mingled with the strange emptiness of the torrent of life being drawn out of her meridians, and the soothing warmth the Immortal Evergreen Vine fed back after devouring the negative energy-
All those complicated sensations intertwined, forming wave after indescribable wave that crashed over her.
Outside the study, Su Ningxia and Gao Cuilan approached side by side.
Chen Mu had sent them to call Chen Xiaojun and Xiao Yi out for drinks. After all, the two had been in that room for quite some time.
How could an occasion like today be complete without those two stars?
Seeing the study door standing ajar, candlelight spilling through, Su Ningxia reached out to push it open without a second thought. "Young Master, Miss, it's time to-" she said softly.
But the moment her hand touched the door, a faint pant drifted distinctly through the gap!
As that sound slipped into her ears, Su Ningxia froze, as though someone had cast an immobilizing spell on her.
At first, she was taken aback. Her immediate thought was: Miss Xiao Yi only just woke up. Could she be feeling unwell again?
That sounded as though she was enduring pain.
But then another soft moan reached them, clearer this time, with an unmistakable quaver and a certain indescribable quality.
This time, Gao Cuilan reacted faster!
Her face flushed scarlet in an instant. Quick-eyed and quick-handed, she seized Su Ningxia's hand where it rested on the door and yanked her several steps away. At the same time, her other hand flew up to cover Su Ningxia's mouth before she could cry out.
