Chapter 137 Finally Woke Up
heavy.
It felt like a huge rock was pressing down on me, and even the strength to lift my eyelids seemed to have been drained away.
Xiaobai felt as if he had slept for a very long time, so long that a feeling of soreness and fatigue permeated through his bones.
His consciousness was in a state of confusion, and he could still hear the childish yet solemn farewell voice of Tianshu or Xiaoshu.
"Young Master, take care..."
They are all gone.
She moved her fingers slightly, and her heavy eyelids opened a crack with difficulty.
In the blurry light, a silhouette came into view.
A young boy.
He looked to be about ten years old, sitting quietly by the window not far away, holding a thick ancient book in his hands.
The dim light from the window outlined his three-dimensional profile, with a high nose bridge and a clean jawline, giving him a handsomeness that transcended his age.
His eyes were an extremely rare icy blue, like the eternal ice in the Far North, clear yet bottomless.
He was just casually reading a book, but a hint of majesty naturally emanated from his eyes and brows, as if it was innate and could make all beasts submit.
He was wearing a plain green shirt and a simple jade pendant around his waist, which glowed faintly.
What was even more peculiar was that there seemed to be a very light silver-blue aura lingering around him, ethereal and mysterious.
who is he?
Where is this place?
Xiaobai's mind was still a little confused, and his chaotic thoughts were like tangled paste.
As if noticing her gaze, the boy slowly turned his head.
Eyes met.
The pair of ice-blue eyes looked over, without the innocence of a child, but with the calmness of someone who understood the world and a hint of softness that was barely noticeable.
Xiaobai blinked and his little brain worked hard.
This smell looks familiar?
The boy looked at her confused little face, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
He put down the book, stood up, and walked slowly to the bed.
"woke up?"
The sound was clear, like the sound of jade hitting each other, but with a hint of gentleness.
Xiaobai stared at him blankly, her mouth slightly open, before she could figure out how to ask.
The young man leaned forward slightly, his ice-blue eyes clearly reflecting her small figure.
"I can come out now."
He spoke softly, his tone containing a sigh of relief.
"Xiaobai, I will accompany you on the rest of the journey."
Xiaobai's eyes suddenly widened.
This name, this tone.
"Jing...Jing Gan?"
She called out the name tentatively, her voice still a little hoarse and weak.
The boy, no, Jing Gan, had a faint smile in his ice-blue eyes.
"Um."
It’s really Jinggan.
The Zulong who had always stayed in her consciousness space and was called partner.
How did he come out? And what happened to him?
Xiaobai's little head was instantly filled with countless question marks.
Jing Gan seemed to see through her doubts. He raised his hand, with a wisp of silver-blue air lingering on his fingertips, and gently touched her brow.
A cool and gentle force instantly surged in, dispelling a lot of fatigue.
"The gate of heaven has opened, and the way of heaven, that is, the order of things, has returned to its place. Some of the restrictions I have been subject to have also been lifted."
Jing Gan's voice was still calm, but it contained a hint of explanation.
"As for this appearance."
He looked down at his hands and glanced at Xiaobai.
"If I were to appear in the upper realm as an adult, I might cause some unnecessary trouble."
"The form of a ten-year-old is just right."
Xiaobai nodded, not quite understanding.
Upper realm?
That’s right, the gate of heaven opened and everyone ascended!
She was also overwhelmed by that power...
As his memory came back, Xiaobai recalled the terrifying energy impact and his face turned pale.
"How long have I slept?"
She struggled to sit up, but found that her whole body was still weak and she couldn't move.
Jing Gan reached out and gently held her down.
"Don't move. Your spiritual power is exhausted and you have been shaken. You need to rest."
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open.
Squeak...
A woman in a plain white dress with a veil on her face walked in carrying a tray.
The woman had a slim figure and her steps were light and silent, but her eyes, revealed through the veil, were calm and deep, making it impossible to see through them.
There was no trace of any fluctuation of spiritual energy on her body, but she gave people a feeling of being deep and majestic, as if the world she stood there was her own.
Xiaobai subconsciously held his breath.
Very strong.
She had no idea of this person's cultivation level.
The woman placed the tray on the low table beside the bed, her eyes fell on Xiaobai, her voice as clear as water through the veil.
"woke up."
Not a question, but a statement.
"How does it feel?"
Xiaobai blinked his big eyes and answered obediently: "Much better, thank you for saving me."
She could feel that the spiritual sea in her body, which had been dried up, was now slowly being filled with a gentle and pure spiritual energy, and the internal and external injuries on her body were also slowly healing.
This must be the credit of the woman in front of me.
The woman nodded slightly, accepting her thanks.
"No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."
"I'm Mu Qinghe, I'm a doctor and the owner of this place."
She looked at Xiaobai with calm eyes.
"I found you at the edge of a spiritual energy turbulence. At that time, your spiritual energy was exhausted, your body was covered with wounds, and you were unconscious."
Her gaze turned to Jing Gan standing beside her.
"And he is with you. He is in a slightly better condition, so I brought him back with me."
Xiaobai then realized that Jing Gan was also saved by Doctor Mu.
"Thank you, Doctor Mu, for saving my life." Jing Gan nodded slightly, his tone containing a hint of distant politeness.
Doctor Mu didn't seem to care about his attitude and returned his gaze to Xiaobai.
"You were asleep for about three months."
Three months.
Xiaobai was shocked. He didn't expect that he had been unconscious for so long.
Doesn't that mean that my senior brothers and sisters have already ascended to heaven? Then what happened to them?
A sense of loss welled up in my heart.
Doctor Mu handed over the bowl of medicine on the tray.
"This is a decoction to warm the soul and meridians. Drink it."
"The injuries of both of you are not serious. You just need to rest for a while."
Xiaobai took the medicine bowl obediently and drank it in small sips. The medicine was slightly bitter, but with a strange fragrance, which turned into a warm current in the throat, nourishing every part of the body.
After drinking the medicine, Doctor Mu put away the empty bowl.
"From your appearance, it seems that you are new to the upper realm. Do you have a place to go?"
Xiaobai shook his head blankly.
Yes, no one knew where her senior brothers and sisters had ascended to in the upper realm, and the heavenly book had also returned to its place. It seemed that she really had nowhere to go now.
Doctor Mu said calmly: "If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here temporarily."
"I am usually short of manpower to take care of the herb garden. If you are willing, you can stay and help me sort some herbs. It will be used as a compensation for the medical treatment, food and lodging for these three months.
You can stay as long as you want while you work. That's the library. If you want to know more about the upper world, read it yourself. I don't have time to teach you about it."
After saying that, she turned around and left the room without waiting for Xiaobai to answer.
The door closed gently.
Xiaobai held the empty bowl and looked in the direction where Doctor Mu left, a little dazed.
This Doctor Mu has such a cold personality.
"That's just how she is."
Jing Gan's voice sounded beside him, with a hint of understanding.
"He has a calm personality and doesn't like to talk much, but he's not a bad person."
Xiaobai nodded, his heart filled with curiosity and a hint of gratitude towards the mysterious Doctor Mu.
In any case, she and Jing Gan finally had a temporary place to stay in the upper realm.
Although she didn't know what the future would be like, she glanced at Jing Gan beside her.
Fortunately, I’m not alone.
Someone will accompany me on the rest of the journey.
