In the blink of an eye, a week later, inside the cave of the Tian Ying, on a stone bed in a stone chamber, Xiao Yan, who had been unconscious for seven days, finally slowly awoke.
The steady demeanor appeared continuous and powerful; Xiao Yan's pale face had completely regained its rosy hue, and his once white hair had also returned to its jet-black state.
The weariness between his brows vanished after seven days of sleep.
At one moment, Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched slightly as he slept, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes trembled slightly. Then, his slightly heavy eyelids slowly opened, revealing his clear and bright black eyes, like two black pearls.
With a slight movement of his eyes, Xiao Yan's body, which had just awakened, appeared somewhat weak. Then, Xiao Yan's body, which had been lying flat on the stone bed, trembled slightly, and he quickly sat up. The weariness in his body also dissipated rapidly.
He twisted his body slightly, and immediately, the cracking sound of bones colliding came from Xiao Yan's body. Feeling the comfortable sensation from the bone collision, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath before looking up at the world around him.
When Xiao Yan saw the familiar rock formations around him, he immediately realized that he was in the cave of the Tian Ying.
With this in mind, the events of seven days ago quickly flooded Xiao Yan's mind, and he also remembered his conversation with Murong Qianqian Xiao Yan the others before he fell unconscious.
"Uh... Murong Qianqian! By the way, where's Murong Qianqian? I asked her if she could help me get into the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range, and she hasn't answered me yet!"
Thinking of Murong Qianqian, Xiao Yan immediately thought of entering the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his heart filled with questions about Murong Qianqian's answer that day.
Entering the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range was now a matter of utmost importance for Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, and without a definite answer, he naturally couldn't feel at ease.
"You brat, the first thing you think about after waking up is women! It was me who helped you that day, otherwise, how could you have gotten rid of that cold wind? How come you wake up now and instead of thanking me, you're thinking about women? You're truly ungrateful!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's exclamation, Gu You within him seemed to feel wronged, secretly pouting slightly before speaking to Xiao Yan in a somewhat annoyed tone.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan finally snapped out of his daze, his expression turning somewhat embarrassed. He gave an awkward smile and quickly forced a dry laugh at the Gu You within his body:
"Hehe, Elder Gu, this junior knows his mistake. The sealing of that rift last time was indeed all thanks to you, Elder Gu. This junior thanks you on their behalf!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu You chuckled, his mood improving. However, Xiao Yan spoke again shortly after, and Gu You 'Elder Zhang face darkened with gloom.
"Hehe, Elder Gu, can you tell me now whether Murong Qianqian agreed to take me into the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range that day?"
"..."
Gu You remained silent in response, while Xiao Yan frowned, feeling slightly anxious. He was extremely concerned about the outcome, as it would determine whether he could cross the Xilin Mountain Range. Therefore, Xiao Yan dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Click click click..."
However, at that moment, the heavy stone door inside the stone chamber was opened from the outside, and as Xiao Yan looked up, two figures walked in one after the other.
It was Tian Ying and Murong Qianqian.
The moment the two stepped into the stone chamber, they saw Xiao Yan sitting beside the stone bed.
Immediately, the steps that Tian Ying and Murong Qianqian had just taken stopped in mid-air, and at the same time, the expressions on their faces froze, as if time itself had stood still.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. At the same time, Tian Ying and Murong Qianqian also came to their senses, and a look of surprise quickly welled up in their eyes.
"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao Yan, you've finally woken up! You have no idea how worried we all were about you during those seven days you were unconscious!"
A moment later, a hearty laugh came from Tian Ying's mouth. At the same time, Tian Ying strode forward with unrestrained and bold steps, and in a few big strides, he arrived in front of Xiao Yan.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yan stood up from the stone bed the moment Tian Ying arrived. Responding to Tian Ying's words, Xiao Yan immediately clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, glanced at Murong Qianqian behind him, and then burst into laughter:
"Hehe, I'm so sorry to have worried everyone."
As they were talking, Xiao Yan learned from Tian Ying's words that he had been unconscious for seven days.
"Haha, the three of us are fine. After some investigation, we found out the reason for your coma. But it's our young lady who has suffered. She's been worried about you the whole time, and she's been by your side every step of the way these past few days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a complex expression flashed across Tian Ying's face. He secretly glanced at Murong Qianqian behind him and found that she was looking at him with a murderous expression, which made Tian Ying feel a chill down his spine.
"Cough cough..."
Tian Ying quickly coughed twice, then turned around and hid behind Murong Qianqian with an embarrassed smile.
Upon seeing the beauty before him again, Xiao Yan couldn't help but blush slightly, and the words that were already on the tip of his tongue were forcibly stuck between his teeth.
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Murong Qianqian's pretty face flushed slightly. Her beautiful eyes darted around, a thoughtful look in her eyes, before she pursed her lips and said:
"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm not worried about you. With such power, how could you possibly die so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile wryly to himself, while Murong Qianqian pouted at Xiao Yan before speaking:
"However, now that you're alright, let's go."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing Murong Qianqian's cryptic words, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly. A sense of doubt arose in his heart, and he uttered a soft "hmm" before frowning and asking:
"Go? Where to?"
Seeing this, Murong Qianqian, who had been feigning composure, couldn't help but smile. Her beautiful eyes darted around, giving Xiao Yan a sharp look, and she gave a soft snort, feigning anger:
"Didn't you say you wanted to go into the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range? Since you helped us seal off that cold wind, and saved us, and most importantly, saved me, then this request isn't too unreasonable. I'll reluctantly agree to it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl put her hands behind her back, her delicate body spun around like a blooming lotus flower, gave a playful smile, and then turned to walk out of the stone chamber.
Upon hearing this sudden news, Xiao Yan's previously bewildered expression instantly transformed into one of wild joy, and he quickly followed after them.
