Xia Xiao walked slowly and Rongcheng was big, so it was late at night when he returned to the inn.

The waiter and the handyman were sitting in the store, and they were touching the copper coins in their hands with great interest, which were given by customers. The happiest moment of their day was when customers gave them money, and no matter how ugly the customer was, he would become handsome and elegant at that moment.

Seeing Xia Xiao coming back, they quickly put away the money, and were frightened the next moment. Xia Xiao's legs were now covered in blood, and his clothes were torn. Did he go to the Fighting City? Impossible! Could he have been robbed?

"Please prepare some hot water for me and bring it to the room."

Xia Xiao was a little weak and left a bloody handprint when he held the table.

"Um?"

Turning his head to take a look, the waiter who was standing still stood up quickly.

"I'll go get some hot water."

"I……"

The handyman came to help Xia Xiao with a smile.

"Sir, do you need me to prepare some medicine for you?"

"No, thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks."

The handyman took a few glances and felt scared.

After returning to the room, Xia Xiao wiped his body with hot water first. The bloody smell all over his body made Shu Shuang feel unpleasant.

Throwing the clothes into the trash can, Xia Xiao opened the treasure chest.

Suddenly, a light green mist emerged, with a fragrance of grass and trees. This was a gourd slightly longer than the palm, much smaller than the master's, but equally delicate and round, and the vitality contained in it was particularly rich.

There are many kinds of elixirs in the world, and Ying Hulu is the one that stores the most vital energy.

"Ying Hu is here."

Xia Xiao's voice was gentle, but Shu Shuang was lying on the bed, without any response.

"Help you open it?"

Xia Xiao asked, and although Shu Shuang didn't answer, she gradually responded. The response was very weak, but Xia Xiao could feel it. It was like a seedling in spring, looking forward to the sweet rain and dew, and was a little impatient.

We can’t miss the opportunity. If this gourd is wasted, we can just find another one!

As Xia Xiao thought of this, vital energy emerged from his fingertips, forming a sharp vital energy blade. It moved around the mouth of the gourd and cut it open. Visible vital energy suddenly gushed out and enveloped the entire bed.

"Shu Shuang, Shu Shuang!"

In fact, Xia Xiao didn’t understand why Shu Shuang needed Ying Hulu, because he had no idea why Shu Shuang had such strong vitality, but if he wanted to know it all, he had to wait for her to wake up.

Xia Xiao called out to Shu Shuang, wanting her to wake up, but her eyes did not open. When Xia Xiao was about to speak again, the energy in the air began to move, gradually drilling into the quilt and entering Shu Shuang's body.

Taking a few steps back, Xia Xiao stood aside and watched Shu Shuang absorb the vital energy. This vital energy was very pure, and Shu Shuang absorbed it very quickly. It was estimated that she would be able to absorb it all by dawn. By then, I hope Shu Shuang can wake up.

Xia Xiao was a little sleepy. It was already early morning, but he pinched his legs to wake himself up. People who were absorbing vital energy and practicing were the most vulnerable. External attacks could easily hurt them, so Xia Xiao stayed by his side and never left.

It was easy to fall asleep leaning on a chair, so Xia Xiao rested his arms on his legs and looked at Shu Shuang, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier and he almost fell asleep.

No! I can't sleep!

Xia Xiao forced himself to stand up and walked around the room with heavy steps. He couldn't sleep. If anything happened, it would be troublesome.

The next moment, Xia Xiao clenched his teeth, there was really a surprise!

The energy in the gourd can be absorbed by everyone, and as long as someone makes the "He" hand seal, they can draw it in. At this moment, the energy passed through the wall and was stolen by someone else.

Rushing out the door, Xia Xiao knocked on the door of the next room loudly.

After a few seconds, someone came to open the door. It was a sturdy man with a face full of flesh. He was furious. When he saw Xia Xiao, he yelled:

"What? You're disturbing my practice!"

The man wanted to swallow Xia Xiao in one gulp. Just now when he was practicing, he felt a large ball of vitality. Since he really got a ball, he couldn't miss such a good thing. But he didn't expect to be woken up by someone before he started. It was unpleasant to be out of the state of practice.

Looking at the small ball of vitality in the room, Xia Xiao said coldly:

"No training tonight!"

"Why? Why do you care whether I practice or not?"

Xia Xiao pointed at a ball of vital energy in the room and was about to speak, but the big man started cursing.

"You are such a brave little brat, be careful or I will kill your mother!"

All right! Xia Xiao snorted, and the chat ended here.

He raised his fist and struck the man in the chest, knocking him back two steps.

"you……"

Xia Xiao stepped forward and punched the man a few more times, making him see stars.

"Let's get some sleep!"

After slashing with his hand knife and making sure that the man was unconscious, Xia Xiao pulled off the blanket and covered him.

You are such a thief that even the wall can't stop you. If you continue to absorb, Shu Shuang won't have enough vitality.

Xia Xiao stood by the wall, released his energy with both hands, and prepared to push it back. Although it was a little unbelievable, Xia Xiao was still ready to give it a try.

"Go back obediently!"

Xia Xiao moved very lightly, and his vitality really passed through the wall and returned to his room. Seeing this, Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After closing the door and returning to the room, the only person left in the corridor was the sleepy waiter.

"What's going on? Why are you shouting to open the door in the middle of the night? Weird... no one's there? Are you dreaming?"

The waiter lay back on the counter and continued to sleep.

In the room, Xia Xiao ate an apple. After eating, he felt less sleepy.

Standing by the window, feeling the cool breeze. Although the moon was round and big tonight, Xia Xiao only cared about Shu Shuang.

**, Shu Shuang had been absorbing the vital energy at a very fast speed. In less than two hours, she had absorbed all the vital energy in the gourd.

The green gourd that was floating in the air before was squeezed dry, turned into a yellowish brown, and fell to the ground.

"Is it time to wake up?"

Xia Xiao put the candle on the bedside table while he murmured. He sat beside Shu Shuang and watched her eyelashes move.

"Shu Shuang?"

Shu Shuang's long eyelashes gradually lifted up, and she opened her bright eyes. When she saw Xia Xiao, she tried hard to force a smile.

"It's all right."

Her voice was soft, and her words of safety made Xia Xiao smile.

"Yeah! It's okay."

Shu Shuang squinted his sad eyes, looked at Xia Xiao, and slowly fell asleep again. Xia Xiao raised his palm, hesitated for a long time, and finally stroked Shu Shuang's little face. His hand was used to holding a knife, so it felt even softer at this time. Shu Shuang subconsciously moved closer to his palm, and the warm and soft feeling made Xia Xiao very comfortable.

It would be dawn in two hours, Xia Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice. His vitality had been used up long ago, so he needed to replenish it and recover from his injuries.

Once he entered the state of cultivation and the forest, Xia Xiao's injuries recovered quickly. Although the injuries on his body were a little painful, Xia Xiao was still quite happy. After all, when the sun rose tomorrow, Shu Shuang would stand beside him and say good morning. But reality is always crueler than ideal. The next day, Shu Shuang still didn't wake up!
