"Ah!" With a loud shout, Sui Xin's eyes shone brightly, and his speed of retreating seemed to have truly slowed down.

Seeing this, Sui Xin mustered all her strength and flew forward.

However, what he didn't notice was that in the real world, the original golden cocoon of light gradually withered and disappeared completely, and then the golden pool inside his body saw its liquid level drop at a visible speed.

Upstairs, Xi Yun suddenly woke up, and her face didn't look too good.

She and Suixin are bound by a contract; if Suixin is injured, she will also be affected to some extent.

Xi Yun quickly stood up and shouted, "Sui Xin, where are you?"

There was no response.

"As you please?"

Xi Yun called out as she searched everywhere, and soon found Sui Xin upstairs.

He was in very bad shape. Even with his eyes closed, he was still radiating light. Blood kept gushing out, and his face looked like he was struggling. His fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were bulging.

In the dream, Sui Xin finally came to the side of the dream Sui Xin, holding Xi Yun in her arms. Xi Yun looked terrible and had fainted.

"Don't bring it..."

With a "whoosh," a huge bolt of lightning ripped through the air, shattering the entire scene, and the last words were still not heard.

In the cultivation room, Sui Xin suddenly shuddered and spat out mouthfuls of blood, staining Xi Yun's clothes red.

"How could this be?" Sui Xin murmured. The scene just now gave him an extremely strange, yet inexplicably real feeling. He didn't notice Xi Yun hugging him beside him.

"Suixin, what's wrong?" Xiyun asked worriedly, holding Suixin who was trembling all over.

There was no answer; he remained lost in his dream.

"Suixin, say something!" Seeing that Suixin didn't speak, Xiyun felt like she was about to cry.

"Ah? Yun'er?" Sui Xin touched her head, feeling somewhat dazed and unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Sui Xin said, struggling to wipe away Xi Yun's tears.

"You're still lying to me. How could you be alright? You've used up so much of your life force."

Only one-tenth of the original amount remains.

Xi Yun and Sui Xin are connected by blood through a contract, making Xi Yun extremely sensitive to changes in his life force, especially in such a life-threatening accident.

Thinking of this, Xi Yun's tears flowed even faster.

"Huh? No, I don't think so."

On the contrary, his feelings were not very specific; he only knew that some of his life force had been consumed, but he didn't know exactly how much.

"What have you done now? Do you know how worried I was?" Xi Yun roared.

"This has happened so many times already, I'm so scared, boohoo~"

From the moment the mission began, things kept going wrong, and I was constantly worried that something might happen to him.

Looking at Yun'er, Sui Xin's mind was in turmoil. She was about to raise her hand to pat Xi Yun's back when she realized that she was weak all over and had no energy.

"I'm sorry, Yun'er, I've made you worry again."

She fainted right after she finished speaking.

"Follow your heart? Follow your heart?"

Seeing that Suixin didn't react, Xiyun carried Suixin to the bed and dragged her somewhat weak body to find Linmiao.

She also suffered considerable backlash, making even flying difficult.
