Mingluo was not actually sleeping. After she fell into a coma, she was pulled into the sea of consciousness by the golden lion. The little tiger, who usually looked like a big stupid dog, scolded Mingluo seriously for being ignorant. His serious look was so cute that Mingluo always wanted to pounce on the little tiger and stroke its fur.
“Awooo, awooo, awooo (We must not use up all our energy)!”
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! (Otherwise I’ll fall into a coma and lose my cultivation level)!”
The little tiger cried angrily.
“Awoo awoo awoo awoo awoo (If I hadn’t saved up so much spiritual energy for you, you would have been beaten back to your original form long ago when you were at the Mingpo realm)!”
The little tiger seemed to know that Mingluo couldn't understand what it said, so it used its claws to write on the ground to translate for Mingluo. Only then did Mingluo understand what the little tiger had been saying for so long.
"My original form is human... I didn't want to do that..." Mingluo defended aggrievedly.
There was a reason for this. At that time, in order to break the formation, she had no other choice but to try her best. If she had the ability, she would not have used up all her true energy.
After hearing Mingluo's words, the little tiger jumped up angrily and slapped her with his claws. He did not forget to retract his claws while slapping her, for fear that the claws would hurt Mingluo, so he only used his paw pads to slap her.
Then it angrily wrote on the ground: "Humph, if you hadn't exhausted all your true energy, you would have reached the Guiqing realm today!"
Mingluo rubbed his hands apologetically, touched the little tiger's big head, and said, "I won't be so reckless in the future. Don't be angry, okay?"
The little tiger felt very comfortable being touched by Mingluo, so he sat on the ground with his eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to climb down to enjoy the pleasure of having his fur stroked, he suddenly remembered that he was still teaching Mingluo a lesson. He pouted and said proudly: "Awoo awoo (This won't happen again)!"
Although Ming Luo didn't understand what the little tiger muttered, she saw that it was no longer angry, so she sat down and leaned against the little tiger's thick body, stroking its fur while muttering about Ye Zhihan. She had been in the sea of consciousness for so long and didn't know what was going on outside.
As she was thinking this, Mingluo fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the ruins. Mingluo rubbed her eyes and saw Ye Zhihan looking at her with concern. The temperature in the ruins was extremely low due to the cold wind. He was only wearing an inner shirt.
"Hmm..." Mingluo felt sore all over, and her back was so stiff as if it was nailed with an iron plate. Just as she was about to stand up despite the pain, Ye Zhihan stretched out his big hand to support her back and helped her up.
Ming Luo smiled and thanked him repeatedly, then looked around to take in the environment. The ruins were still the same ruins as when he came here, but many sculptures had collapsed, and many puppet corpses were lying all over the broken floor.
"Is it all over?" Ming Luo asked as he moved his body slightly. As soon as he moved, he found that Ye Zhihan's coat was neatly placed where he slept.
"Yeah." Ye Zhihan nodded.
Mingluo picked up the clothes, carefully dusted them off, and then returned them to Ye Zhihan, saying, "Thank you, but it's so cold here, put them on quickly!"
Ye Zhihan took the clothes and put them on, his eyes filled with concern as he asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Me? I'm fine, I just hope nothing happens to you!" Ming Luo looked at Ye Zhihan and couldn't see anything abnormal with him. The three scars from his chest to his abdomen had begun to scab over.
"Don't work so hard in the future..." Ye Zhihan wanted to say something but stopped himself. He obviously wanted to seriously warn Ming Luo not to act rashly, but when he heard her say, "I hope nothing happens to you," his heart softened inexplicably. Looking at her sparkling eyes, Ye Zhihan could hardly maintain his cold and aloof personality.
"You're lucky this time. If you were a second later, you might have been killed by Hui Jianzhi. You can't use your true energy indiscriminately like this. If you use up your true energy, you will lose your cultivation level..." Ye Zhihan said with a cold face, but there was not even a trace of blame in his eyes.
"Okay, I won't be like this again in the future, don't worry." Ye Zhihan originally wanted to warn Mingluo with cold words, but he didn't expect that it would be Mingluo who comforted him instead.
Ye Zhihan felt like an old father again, nagging more without realizing it. This girl was obviously very timid, but when it came to the critical moment, she rushed forward without hesitation. It was like this when they were in the abyss, and it was like this now. It seemed that he had no choice but to protect Mingluo all the time, otherwise, with her style of behavior, he really didn't know what would happen.
"Where are Brother Xiong and Bai Qianqian?" Ming Luo looked around but didn't see them, feeling a little panicked.
"Behind you." Ye Zhihan turned sideways, revealing Bai Qianqian's heroic figure, but her face was extremely pale and she looked like she might fall down at any time.
"Qianqian!" Mingluo stood up despite the pain and staggered. Ye Zhihan hurriedly supported her body.
Ming Luo nodded slightly in thanks, then quickly went around the jade stele to find Bai Qianqian. He saw that Bai Qianqian was still transferring true energy to Brother Xiong, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. Her sluggish body was trembling slightly due to the excessive loss of true energy, while Brother Xiong was covered in glaring bloodstains. It seemed that he was seriously injured and was still in a coma.
When Bai Qianqian heard Ming Luo's voice, she raised her head with difficulty and looked at her, forcing a smile.
"Qianqian, stop now!" Mingluo staggered over and supported Bai Qianqian's body. Although she was a female general and her strength was only slightly lower than Ye Zhihan, most of her true energy had been consumed when she was fighting against Hui Jianzhi. Now she was persisting in supplying true energy to Brother Xiong. If she continued at this pace, she would definitely fall into a coma in a few minutes.
Bai Qianqian shook her head slightly, her face weak but her eyes firm as she said, "It's okay, I can still hold on."
She looked stubborn and didn't look like someone who could be persuaded.
Ming Luo lowered his eyes and sat silently beside Bai Qianqian, replenishing the meager true energy that had just been accumulated in his body into Bai Qianqian's body bit by bit. Although this true energy was of no great use to Bai Qianqian, it was better than nothing, and it was better than her emptying herself to save Brother Xiong.
After seeing this scene, Ye Zhihan really wanted to pick up Ming Luo and knock her head open to see if she had forgotten everything she had just said. Didn’t she promise not to waste her energy indiscriminately in the future?
Ye Zhihan had a gloomy face, thinking about whether he should really pick Ming Luo up. If she got angry if he did, he would just sit down and help Bai Qianqian transfer her true energy. But when he thought of how Bai Qianqian had punched Ming Luo in the stomach, he didn't bother to pay attention to this strong woman.
Mingluo's action made Bai Qianqian stunned. She looked at Mingluo sideways with a very conflicted expression. When she bumped into Mingluo's gentle face with a smile, the usually strong Bai Qianqian seemed to finally be unable to hold on. She stopped her hand that was infusing true energy into Brother Xiong and instead held Mingluo's hand. She blinked and tears fell.
Tears burst out of her eyes like a dam breaking, and Bai Qianqian covered her face and cried like a tearful person.
