Watching Li Hui's breath recover day by day and finally stabilize, Han Xue's heart also warmed up day by day.

  For seven days, the heart that had been clenched and the tense nerves finally slowly relaxed. Seven days without sleep or rest, but at this moment, Han Xue was more spirited than ever, full of energy.

  Although Li Hui's wound has not recovered at this time, it at least proves that his method is effective. If he persists, Li Hui will definitely recover.

  Once again sitting in meditation to recover his spiritual power, Han Xue continued to hold Li Hui's hand, with their palms facing each other as she transmitted her spiritual power into him.

  Li Hui's complexion gradually improved, his face was no longer as pale and bloodless as when he was first injured, but gradually became more rosy.

  Looking at this face with clear-cut features, Han Xue felt a warmth in her heart, but this face was now closed-eyed and still unconscious, which made Han Xue's heart slightly worried.

  Looking at Li Hui's face, Han Xue once again thought of the various past events between them.

  At this time, Li Hui's breathing had already stabilized, and the spiritual energy in his body was circulating on its own. Han Xue only needed to slowly inject the spiritual energy, so she also gradually relaxed and began to think about other things.

  "Li Hui, do you know? When I was captured by that demonic cultivator, I felt like everything had already come to an end. If I were to suffer the humiliation of that demonic cultivator, I would rather have my body and soul destroyed forever... But as a Qi Refining stage disciple, my life hangs in the balance at the hands of others, and perhaps I don't even have the right to choose to end my own life."

  Han Xue murmured softly, as if talking to herself, yet also seemed to be pouring her heart out to Li Hui.

  "Who would have thought that things would change so drastically, and that demonic cultivator was actually killed by his own companion?" As she spoke to this point, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Han Xue's mouth. "At that time, I hadn't even recognized you yet. Afterwards, I was held in your arms as we plummeted downwards, and I still hadn't reacted from this sudden huge change. However, in your embrace, I inexplicably felt safe and at ease..."

  Recalling the scene of lying in Li Hui's arms, Han Xue couldn't help but blush slightly again, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, which was both shy and sweet.

  "Afterwards, you led me into a strange space..."

  Perhaps it was the loneliness of the past seven days, or perhaps she just wanted to unburden herself, but Han Xue suddenly began speaking softly to Li Hui, her hands not relaxing as spiritual energy continuously flowed into Li Hui's body.

  ……

  Li Hui felt himself floating in an endless void, with no sky and no earth, only endless emptiness. He remembered being severely injured by Xiao Yuanqi's magic treasure and falling into the waterfall, but it seemed like he had escaped into a fairy mansion... or maybe not...

  He wanted to see his own injuries, but found that all around him was endless emptiness, and he couldn't find his own existence at all.

  "Where am I?" Li Hui couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but immediately felt that none of this mattered, and all he wanted to do was sleep well, even though he couldn't see his own body and didn't know where he was.

  That drowsiness was irresistible, and everything in front of him slowly became blurred, the grayish void around him turned dark, and this darkness gradually engulfed him.

  He only felt the surroundings slowly getting colder, and nothing else was conscious.

  It's getting colder and darker, Li Hui feels himself slowly dissolving into the icy darkness.

  At this moment, a warm current suddenly enveloped him, exceptionally comfortable and cozy, causing the melting to stop.

  But in a moment, this warm current disappeared, and coldness and darkness enveloped him once again.

  The warm current reappeared after a while...

  Thus the cycle repeated itself. Later, Li Hui felt himself warming up again. This time, although the warmth was weak, it emanated from his own body, gradually dispelling the cold and darkness.

  There is also a fine warm current that gently flows into me, making me grow stronger bit by bit. Occasionally this fine flow will pause for a moment, but soon it starts to slowly flow into me again.

  It was a very strange feeling, Li Hui couldn't see his own body, and there was only endless void around him, but Li Hui could feel his existence, and he could also feel himself slowly becoming stronger.

  For the fine stream that flowed into his body, Li Hui felt extremely dependent on it, like a child's attachment to his mother. Every time the fine stream disappeared, Li Hui would feel lost, and when the stream reappeared, he would feel delighted.

  In this way, in the endless void, it was unknown how long had passed, that fine stream still maintained its injection for a period of time, then left for a moment, and then continued to inject itself into its own body.

  Although Li Hui's body was already able to produce a continuous flow of warmth, he still felt an endless attachment to that gentle stream...

  Two more days have passed, and it's already the ninth day. For these nine days, Han Xue hasn't rested for a moment, always guarding Li Hui by his side. On her stunning face, a hint of fatigue has begun to show.

  However, Han Xue was getting more and more delighted because she found that Li Hui's wound had also started to slowly heal, only Li Hui himself still hadn't woken up.

  "Li Hui, your injury looks much better..."

  These two days, Han Xue has been by Li Hui's side, constantly muttering to him in a low voice, even though she knows he can't hear her. Perhaps it's precisely because of this that she can open up her heart and say some things that she normally can't bring herself to say.

  ……

  In the endless void, Li Hui only felt that the warmth in his body was increasing, and he himself was becoming stronger. In a daze, his consciousness gradually returned, just like a sleeping person slowly waking up.

  "Where am I?" The first returning consciousness was to pursue one's own whereabouts, and then, a little bit of wakefulness came, the scene of being hit by Xiao Yuqi and falling into the waterfall rushed to my mind, but what happened next was still a blur.

  However, soon after, consciousness thoroughly returned, Li Hui first felt the existence of his body, on his left shoulder, the wound was still aching slightly, afterwards Li Hui felt that in his dantian, there was a stream of spiritual energy slowly pouring in, under the automatic operation of the Five Elements Cycle Technique, this stream of spiritual energy was completely absorbed.

  "This feeling... so familiar!" Li Hui thought to himself.

  Then the physical sensation returned, and Li Hui felt that his hands were pressed against another pair of palms. The spiritual energy was transmitted from here. By his ear, it seemed like a pleasant voice was whispering.

  "It feels great to fly shoulder-to-shoulder with you in the sky, white clouds are under our feet, wind blows by, I feel so free and happy, with you by my side, I always feel extremely at ease, no matter what happens, as long as you're here, I'm not afraid..."

  "When you're healed, we'll travel together to the green mountains and blue waters, run on the grasslands, sail on the green waters, and sit together at the mountain peak watching the sunrise and sunset..."

  Li Hui's consciousness gradually cleared up, and he could naturally hear Han Xue guarding him by his side, speaking softly. His heart warmed up, and he slowly opened his eyes to see Han Xue with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, her gaze filled with longing, still whispering about things she wanted to do together with Li Hui. However, there was a hint of fatigue on her stunning face.

  "Xue Er!" Li Hui opened his mouth and called out softly, his voice was a bit weak, but clear.

  "Let's go to a mortal street market together, buy some delicious food..." Han Xue was still speaking to herself with a look of expectation, when suddenly she seemed to be struck by lightning, her body stiffened, and then she looked down at Li Hui with some confusion.

  "Xue Er!" Li Hui saw Han Xue lower her head and called out softly, forcing a faint smile.

  Han Xue stared blankly at Li Hui, slowly revealing a smile on her face. A pair of autumnal eyes welled up with tears, like broken pearls dripping down onto Li Hui's face.

  "You've finally woken up!" Han Xue's voice was filled with boundless joy and excitement.

  Nine days have passed, nine days and nights of sleepless anticipation and waiting, but now it's all reduced to just one sentence: "You're finally awake."

  Li Hui looked at this somewhat haggard but more desolate and moving face, allowing Han Xue's tears to fall on his own face, also dripping into his heart.

  "Thank you for your hard work!" A thousand words and a thousand heartaches, all condensed into this simple sentence.

  Neither of them hid anymore, gazing deeply into each other's face, reluctant to shift their gaze away, as if this moment was eternity.
