In the early morning, a ray of soft sunlight shone through the window onto Xiao Ning's face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. What came into view was the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar ceiling. For a moment, doubts surged in his heart.
"Hey, isn't this my room? When did I come back?" Xiao Ning muttered to himself, trying to dig out some useful information from the depths of his mind, but to no avail.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside without any warning, making a slight "creaking" sound. Then, a slender figure walked in carefully with a basin of clean water. This person was Xiyue, and she seemed to be preparing to wipe the body of Xiao Ning who was still unconscious. However, when Xiyue's eyes touched Xiao Ning who had already woken up, she was stunned for a moment, her hands trembled with excitement, and the basin in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Ning'er, you...you finally woke up!" Xiyue shouted with surprise on her face, her voice trembling slightly because of being too excited.
When Xiao Ning heard Xiyue's call, he immediately turned around, with joy shining in his eyes.
"Sister Yue!"
He shouted happily, quickly got out of bed, and ran towards Xiyue with big strides.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ning came to Xiyue, opened his arms without hesitation and hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth coming from Xiyue, and whispered: "Sister Yue, I miss you so much!"
Xiyue also reached out and gently hugged Xiao Ning back, responding softly: "Ning'er, me too. I'm so glad that you're safe and sound."
The two of them stood there hugging each other, enjoying this moment of warmth and tranquility.
After a while, Xiao Ning loosened his embrace and asked in confusion, "Sister Yue, how did I get back? I don't remember what happened before."
Xiyue smiled and nodded, and began to explain patiently: "It was Rong Rouxue who sent you back. She explained what happened to us. Moreover, she decided to live in our house for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes and blurted out in surprise: "What? What about the Piao Miao Xian Sect? Without her as the sect leader, and Rong Xuan Ya also gone, won't it be a mess?"
This was a beautiful voice like the sound of nature, whispering:
"Don't worry about this, Ning'er."
Rong Rouxue and Chu Qian walked in slowly, their steps were light, as if they were walking on clouds. Rong Rouxue was graceful, wearing a white dress fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending from the earth; Chu Qian was wearing a light blue dress, fresh and refined, beautiful and moving. Behind the two, there was another figure wearing a red Luo skirt, her steps were elegant, her posture was graceful, as beautiful as a blooming flower.
Chu Qian walked quickly forward and came to Xiao Ning's side, her eyes full of concern and tenderness. She raised her hand, gently stroked Xiao Ning's face, and said softly:
"Ning'er, are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Ning shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but his eyes were always on Yourong Rouxue, as if waiting for her explanation.
Rong Rouxue felt Xiao Ning's gaze, she smiled slightly and motioned him to sit down. Then, she slowly said:
"I have killed Xue Lian and destroyed Jiang Yingli's body. From now on, Ning'er, you don't have to worry about this matter." Her voice was calm and firm, as if all this was a matter of course.
Xiao Ning listened to Rong Rouxue's casual words, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He knew what Xue Lian's death meant. He didn't need to make a deal with him anymore, and no one would try to take advantage of his Chaos God and Demon Body. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Xue Lian is dead. Hundreds of years of planning have ended up in vain. How sad!"
You Rong Rouxue said again: "As for Piao Miao Immortal Sect, I don't really care about the sect's affairs. Since Xuan Ya is not here, just let someone else take charge of the work. I have appointed Li Changsheng to be fully responsible. With his strength in the late Lianxu realm, and with the assistance of other elders, governing Piao Miao Immortal Sect should be a piece of cake." Her tone revealed a kind of confidence and decisiveness, as if she had everything planned out.
After Xiao Ning listened to Yourong Rouxue's detailed explanation, he could not help but feel a sense of loss in his heart. This feeling made him feel very confused and lost, because according to common sense, Xue Lian died, he should feel ecstatic and relieved. However, at this moment, he inexplicably felt a deep sense of regret.
"Could it be... that I developed feelings for him during this time together?"
This thought flashed through Xiao Ning's mind like lightning, and he was stunned. As he thought about it, the corners of Xiao Ning's mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and he laughed softly. Then, as if he suddenly came to his senses, he raised his head and cast his eyes on the woman in a bright red dress standing not far behind him.
The moment he saw the woman's face clearly, Xiao Ning stood there in a daze, his face full of disbelief. After a long while, he stammered as if waking from a dream and asked:
"Liu...Aunt Liu! Why are you here?"
Liu Yan was seen smiling, and that smile was as warm and gentle as the spring sun. She walked slowly to Xiao Ning with light steps, and then told him in an extremely gentle tone the reason why she came to Xiao's house to find him.
Xiao Ning listened to Liu Yan's story attentively. After she finished speaking, he held Liu Yan's right hand tightly, his eyes full of concern and care, and said softly:
