Bai Li paused, looking around blankly, his eyes filled with anxiety. It took him a while to come to his senses as his manager pulled him along, and his eyes darkened: "Yes, how could Jinxiang be here? Jinxiang isn't here."

"Bai Li, what's wrong? What are you looking for?"

Bai Li's agent looked at Bai Li looking around and asked with a puzzled expression.

Bai Li snapped out of his daze, regained his composure, and said, "It's nothing, I probably misheard!"

"Nianqing, did your father hear what I said? Nianqing, what's wrong with you!"

Everyone's eyes were on Bai Li in the mirror. Hearing Zhao Jinxiang's words, they quickly looked down at Gu Nianqing and saw that Gu Nianqing was pale and leaning weakly against Zhao Jinxiang.

"Nianqing, what's wrong with you!" Lin Qing's face turned deathly pale instantly. She looked at Gu Nianqing and asked anxiously.

Gu Nanxun looked at Gu Nianqing with a worried expression.

"I'm fine, I'm just exhausted. I'll take a nap and I'll feel better when I wake up!"

After speaking, Gu Nianqing fell asleep in Zhao Jinxiang's arms. The image in the mirror also disappeared. And the mirror that displayed the image suddenly shrank and disappeared into Gu Nianqing's body.

“Uncle, give Nianqing to me. I’ll put him in my spatial storage. The spiritual energy there is plentiful, which will help him recover.”

After Gu Nanxun finished speaking, he took Gu Nianqing from his uncle's arms.

"Send it to Duobao."

Lin Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said that Gu Nianqing would stay with Duobao as soon as she entered the space.

Gu Nanxun nodded. He carefully placed Gu Nianqing on the bed and then summoned Duobao. As soon as Duobao arrived, it sensed Gu Nianqing's presence. Without Gu Nanxun's command, it jumped directly to Gu Nianqing's side, gently nuzzled her cheek with its head, and then quietly lay down next to her.

Lin Qing felt a warm current surge in her heart as she watched this scene.

"Duobao, take good care of Nianqing."

Lin Qing said softly. Duo Bao nodded when he heard Lin Qing's voice, and then continued to curl up next to Gu Nianqing.

"System, what exactly happened to Nianqing?"

Lin Qing asked the system, still feeling uneasy.

"Don't worry, host. The young master is just exhausted. Give him some time to recover!"

"How could you be exhausted?"

Lin Qing, still uneasy, continued to press for answers.

"Opening the time-space image requires a lot of spiritual power. After all, the young master is still young and his spiritual power is not enough. It is already remarkable that he was able to open the time-space image for such a long time."

"Spiritual power? If I give him spiritual spring water, will his spiritual power be restored?"

Lin Qing glanced at Gu Nianqing lying on the bed, her eyes lit up, and she asked the system with anticipation.

"He is missing too much spiritual power, and the spiritual spring water alone is far from enough. However, having Duobao by his side is much more effective than the spiritual spring water."

"Duobao? What does this have to do with Duobao?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

"Duobao is a Golden Scale Divine Dog, which can generate spiritual energy continuously. This is why the adult Golden Scale Divine Dog can generate spirit stones and gold in its habitat."

"Is that so? No wonder Nianqing likes Duobao so much!"

Lin Qing nodded knowingly upon hearing this, and then said with a look of sudden realization.

"One of the reasons why the young master likes to stay by Duobao's side is that Duobao has a trace of Qilin blood in him."

"What does Nianqing's fondness for treasures have to do with the Qilin?"

Gu Nanxun asked in confusion.

"Because the young master likes the Qilin."

The system replied.

Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing nodded knowingly, then looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing assumed that the system's statement that their young master liked Qilin was simply a matter of liking Qilin, so they didn't pursue the matter further. As a result, they missed an opportunity to uncover Gu Nianqing's secret.

"Let's go out. Uncle is still waiting for us outside. Let Nianqing get some rest."

Gu Nanxun said.

Lin Qing nodded, and the two tiptoed out of the room, closed the door, and then teleported out of the space.

Inside the room, Duobao quietly watched over Gu Nianqing, whose breathing gradually calmed down and whose complexion slowly regained some color.

With Duobao by his side, he seemed to enter a deep state of rest, and his body began to slowly recover.

Meanwhile, Bai Li, accompanied by his agent, returned to his dressing room. He was filled with doubt and unease; he couldn't understand why he had suddenly heard that familiar voice, the voice he thought he would never hear again.

"Bai Li, are you really alright?" the agent asked with concern.

Bai Li shook his head. He couldn't tell others these things, and no one would believe him anyway. They would believe that he was dead, but now he was alive again, and that he had traveled through time.

Bai Li didn't want his agent to worry, so he closed his eyes and tried hard to control his emotions. He had to speed things up.

"I'm fine, I'm probably just too tired," Bai Li forced a smile.

The agent looked at Bai Li. Although he still had concerns, he didn't press the matter further, considering that Bai Li had a performance to do later.

"Then you should get some rest. The show starts in an hour."

The agent reminded him.

Bai Li nodded, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down. But that voice, the voice he thought had disappeared, lingered in his mind.

"Jinxiang, wait for me, it'll be soon, we'll see each other soon. Jinxiang, I miss you!"

...

"Nanxun, Lin Qing, how is Nianqing?"

As soon as Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing emerged from the space, Zhao Jinxiang rushed over to greet them, asking anxiously.

"Uncle, don't worry, Nianqing is fine. He's resting and will be alright when he wakes up."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

"That's good. Then let's wait for Nianqing to wake up!"

After hearing Lin Qing's answer, Zhao Jinxiang breathed a sigh of relief and then said.

None of them expected that this wait would last a whole week.

Inside Gu Nianqing's room, Duobao continued to quietly guard her.

Time passed slowly, and Gu Nianqing's breathing became more and more steady, his complexion becoming increasingly rosy. A glimmer of relief flashed in Duobao's eyes; it knew that Gu Nianqing was slowly recovering.

Finally, Gu Nianqing's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Duobao's concerned gaze.

"Duobao, thank you."
