Can you imagine what it would feel like for someone to go seven days without closing their eyes?

His eyes were unfocused and empty, as if covered by a layer of indelible gray.

I've lost all interest in everything around me, leaving only a numb emptiness.

My jaw always unconsciously opens slightly, and my heavy eyelids droop down as if weighed down by lead. It takes a lot of willpower to force them open each time.

Yes, this is the most accurate description of Qin Zhaoyue at this moment.

The initial excitement and exhilaration of possessing immense wealth had long since receded like the tide, leaving only a body consumed by extreme fatigue.

At this moment, only one thought swirled and screamed in her mind like a curse:

I want to sleep, right now!

Now it's Jiang Wuyai and Chu Xinglan taking turns, their spiritual senses constantly forming a fine net that covers the area around the bed.

As soon as he sensed that her breathing had become slightly heavy and that she was about to be overcome by sleepiness, he would immediately use a subtle yet sharp spiritual stimulus to forcefully pull her back from the edge of chaos.

However, this process became more and more frequent, and Qin Zhaoyue visibly became more and more irritable and easily angered.

For example, at this moment, after Jiang Wuyai was once again forced to "stab" her awake, she slowly raised her head, and a terrifying storm suddenly gathered in her originally empty eyes.

A gloomy cloud seemed to hang over his head, his eyes became deep and cold, even revealing an almost evil ferocity, as he stared intently at Jiang Wuyai.

Jiang Wuyai suddenly shivered, and a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out on his back: "Junior Sister..."

A cold, mocking laugh escaped Qin Zhaoyue's throat, her voice hoarse yet carrying a venomous sarcasm:

"Ha, some useless men only know how to poke others with things thinner than a needle tip, ptooey!"

Jiang Wuyai: "..."

He stood frozen in place, his scalp tingling, and dared not utter another word.

Just then, Qin Zhaoyue suddenly sensed a strange movement in her throbbing and dizzy mind.

She mustered her strength and focused her consciousness into the scroll of merit that shimmered with light in her mind.

The "Yin and Yang in Harmony" attribute was still steadily and extremely slowly generating merit points, like a gentle stream.

After the astonishing surge in prices two days ago, the "Four Great Families" have now stabilized and are no longer experiencing any major fluctuations.

Her gaze ultimately locked onto the page about "national prosperity and peace".

It finally, finally showed an extremely violent fluctuation!

A massive surge of merit points, far exceeding any previous one and as powerful as a rushing river, poured in, its golden radiance almost scorching her consciousness.

Jiang Wuyai, who was trembling with fear and walking on thin ice, suddenly noticed that his junior sister, who was as still as a stagnant pool, suddenly had a terrifyingly bright light bursting in her eyes.

The light was almost scorching, which startled him and made him shudder.

His junior sister's condition was getting increasingly strange. He had never known that lack of sleep could accumulate such deep and terrifying resentment.

As cultivators, especially after entering the Divine Martial Realm, it is common for them to meditate in seclusion for ten days or half a month to comprehend the universe, and they rarely have such a strong craving for sleep.

In truth, he did not want to continue to disturb his junior sister, as it would not benefit him at all and would only invite resentment.

A long-held thought resurfaced uncontrollably... Should we just let her sleep?

What does the Empress's life or death have to do with his Tianyan Sect?

He absolutely must not let her fall asleep while he is on duty, otherwise he fears he cannot bear the wrath of his junior sister when she wakes up.

At this moment, Jiang Wuyai's mind was already racing with calculations.

How can we subtly shift the blame to when Junior Sister Chu is on duty, and do it without anyone noticing?

However, before he could finalize his plan to "shift the blame eastward," Qin Zhaoyue could no longer contain her excitement; her voice, though hoarse, shone with an astonishing brilliance:

"Senior brother!"

"W-What's wrong~"

Jiang Wuyai's voice trembled involuntarily due to his guilt and fright.

"Quick! Protect me!" Qin Zhaoyue sat up abruptly.

Huh? Jiang Wuyai was stunned for a moment, then jumped up as if pricked by a needle, his eyes bursting with great surprise.

"Junior Sister, you mean..."

Qin Zhaoyue nodded emphatically, each word ringing with conviction: "It's time!"

Jiang Wuyai was almost overjoyed and cried tears of joy. The days of being on tenterhooks and constantly enduring low-pressure resentment were finally over!

Almost simultaneously, Chu Xinglan, who was supposed to be recuperating in the next room, also sensed the abnormality and instantly appeared in the room.

Without saying a word, the two immediately stood guard on either side of the bed, and an invisible "domain" opened up, making the bed as solid as a rock.

At this moment, this place is undoubtedly the safest place on the vast territory of Dagan.

"What else do you need us to do?" Chu Xinglan asked in a deep voice.

"Protect me and when I call, use your 'domains' to help me suppress the raging true energy within my mother's body."

Qin Zhaoyue spoke very quickly, and after giving her instructions, she did not hesitate any longer.

She knelt on the couch, gently lifted the unconscious Empress Dowager, and placed her palms firmly on her dantian (lower abdomen).

Huff... huff...

She forced down her excitement and exhaustion, took a few deep breaths, and then her eyes narrowed.

He poured his own vital energy, which contained a special life force, into the mother's body without reservation.

The moment the powerful true energy surged in, the life force within Qin Minghuang's body, which was like a candle flickering in the wind, was instantly ignited.

The force of my heartbeat suddenly increased, becoming deep and powerful.

However, the long-dormant poison of life, like a ferocious shark that has smelled blood, suddenly erupts and pounces wildly!
