Ah Dai glanced at Mie Feng, still asleep nearby, and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Her ridians have already been successfully nded by . Other than being a little weak, she shouldn’t have any major issues now. Thank you, both Masters. Without your selfless support, I wouldn’t have been able to save Mie Feng’s life."
Liao Wen smiled and said, "We’re all family. What is there to thank for? This place is very close to Sunset City, so we’d better leave quickly. Let’s find a quieter place for Miss Mie Feng to recuperate."
"Alright, then let’s leave now." Ah Dai carried Mie Feng’s delicate body, and the group of seven sped off toward the north. The improvent in Ah Dai’s martial prowess gave him a brand-new sensation—as if anything he imagined in his mind, his body could effortlessly achieve. Even a slight release of his power resulted in massive effects.
After half a day’s journey, the group arrived at Ram City in the northwest of Sun Cold Province. Since Mie Feng’s injuries had not fully healed, they found a peaceful inn to settle down. On the way, Ah Dai recounted the details of how he reached an agreent with Mie Feng and how he ultimately annihilated the Assassin’s Guild. The crises faced in the past two days and the subsequent boost in his martial abilities had caused Ah Dai’s heart, once frozen, to thaw slightly. After all, whether it was the brotherhood of Yan Shi or Zhuo Yun, or the companionship of Xi Wen and Liao Wen, they were undoubtedly his closest companions. Yan Shi initially wanted to disclose the matter regarding Xuan Yue to Ah Dai but was stopped by Xi Wen. Since Mie Feng had yet to fully recover and the relationship between her and Ah Dai remained delicate, Xi Wen decided to wait—for the right mont, so as not to hurt Ah Dai further.
Within the room at the inn, Ah Dai continuously circulated his robust Life True Qi to strengthen Mie Feng’s ridians. Since the day he treated her, he discovered Mie Feng’s inherent fragility and decided that once his martial power recovered, he would completely transform all her ridians. With the dual effects of Life True Qi and Ah Dai’s Golden Body, it took three full days, but Mie Feng’s body had been entirely transford. Though the toughness of her ridians couldn’t compare to Ah Dai’s, they had still undergone considerable enhancent. Practicing dark-elent fighting Qi hinges on safeguarding one’s ridians against the corrosion of Dark Energy. Following Ah Dai’s repair and fortification, her future cultivation would beco far easier. It wouldn’t take long before she could surely ascend as a master in the Dark Realm.
After consolidating Mie Feng’s ridians, Ah Dai withdrew the Energy he had used to seal her consciousness back into his own body. Mie Feng had now fully recovered, and all that remained for Ah Dai was to wait for her to awaken and dispel her thoughts of death. However, this wait stretched into five days. Ah Dai cared for the unconscious Mie Feng with ticulous attention, just as she had once cared for him. Of course, when it ca to wiping her body, he enlisted Zhuo Yun’s help. With the Assassin’s Guild destroyed, Ah Dai couldn’t shake the feeling that he owed Mie Feng trendously, though he didn’t know how to make ands.
Finally, on the tenth day after leaving the Duke’s Mansion, at noon, Mie Feng awoke from her deep slumber. Feeling the comfort coursing through her entire body, she slowly opened her eyes. The first sight she saw was Ah Dai, sitting upright before her. A faint golden radiance shimred on Ah Dai’s skin, making him appear far less ordinary than before—he even seed strikingly handso. Am I dreaming? Shouldn’t I already be dead? Mie Feng glanced around at the furnishings of the room, struggled to sit up, and pinched her arm. The sharp pain imdiately jolted her nerves. Mie Feng cried out in astonishnt, "I’m not dead?"
Ah Dai’s entire body shuddered, and he opened his eyes. He wasn’t cultivating but had chosen to ditate—sothing he hadn’t done in a long ti—to remain attuned to the mont Mie Feng awoke. Her voice had startled him out of his ditation. Looking at Mie Feng, who had just sat up, Ah Dai smiled and said, "You’re finally awake. How do you feel? Is there anywhere on your body that still feels uncomfortable?"
Mie Feng stared at Ah Dai’s smiling face in disbelief, her hands brushing against her radiant cheeks. She murmured, "I... I’m not dreaming. I’m still alive."
