Tang Wulin opened his eyes to find the white ceiling of the Snow House before him.
He lifted the barrier around his Sea of Consciousness and asked,
"Youyou, how much time has passed?"
Youyou's resentful voice rang out.
"Almost two days. But judging by the fluctuations in your Sea of Consciousness, you must have been asleep for the latter half-day."
Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised.
"You can even tell that?"
Youyou replied irritably,
"Obviously. Your Sea of Consciousness was churning like crazy at first, then it calmed down afterward. If you weren't done and sleeping, what else could it have been?"
"Uh..."
Tang Wulin had no answer. He coughed awkwardly twice and looked at Huo Yutong, who was sleeping beside him.
At some point, she had emerged from her Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul. Her arms were tightly wrapped around his right arm as she clung to him, her expression peaceful as she breathed evenly.
She looked so serene and beautiful that Tang Wulin could not bear to disturb her. He quietly gazed at her lovely face.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yutong's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she did, her gaze met Tang Wulin's, who had been watching her all along. She gave him a sweet smile, closed her eyes, lifted her pretty face, and slightly parted her lips.
Tang Wulin understood what she meant. He lowered his head and skillfully pressed in for a deep kiss.
"Mm... mmm... ah..."
After a long while, the two finally parted. Huo Yutong was fully awake now. She stretched lazily and rubbed her eyes.
"What time is it now?"
Tang Wulin stroked her head and said gently,
"We have one day left before we need to return to the academy."
