She couldn't wait to start talking and recounted the whole story of how she ended up trapped there in a clear and organized manner.
As she spoke, her hands unconsciously gestured, sometimes pointing to the palace entrance, vividly describing how her captors had dragged her into this dark and gloomy place.
Sometimes he would mimic the ugly faces of those people, his eyes revealing deep hatred.
During her narration, her emotions surged like a turbulent tide, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
When she spoke of those experiences, a flicker of fear crossed her eyes, as if those horrific scenes were right before her eyes.
When talking about the possibility of being rescued, she couldn't hide her anticipation, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
After finishing her story, Long Nanzhi paused briefly, panting heavily as she tried to calm her rapid breathing.
She subconsciously bit her lower lip, her teeth sinking deep into her delicate lips, leaving a faint mark.
With a hint of trepidation in her eyes, she timidly looked at Qin Qianluo and cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
A gentle smile appeared on Qin Qianluo's face. This smile seemed to have a magical power, warming the damp and cold air around her.
She leaned forward slightly, exuding a gentle yet powerful aura that inspired trust in those around her.
Her tone was gentle, like a spring breeze, carrying just the right amount of warmth, as she slowly reassured her: "Miss, there's no need to worry, we come from Tianxuan."
Tianxuan is a vast and powerful nation with a disciplined army that never harms the people and protects them wherever it goes.
Now, Japan has been destroyed, and those who once threatened you have been completely eliminated and can no longer harm you.
This place is now Tianxuan's territory. Under Tianxuan's protection, you have nothing to fear.
If you encounter any difficulties in the future, please feel free to tell us, and we will do our best to help you.
After listening, Long Nanzhi's tense nerves instantly relaxed.
The accumulated tension, fatigue, and fear overwhelmed her like a burst dam, causing her legs to buckle and her to fall backward without warning.
Qin Qianluo stood beside Long Nanzhi and witnessed this scene. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
After a brief moment of surprise, she quickly turned around, waved to the tall, upright soldier beside her, and said in a clear and decisive voice: "Be gentle, carry her away!"
Then, he summoned several experienced female soldiers and gave them instructions in a low voice.
"Prepare more hot water, help her wash herself thoroughly, and then pick out a clean set of clothes from the storeroom for her to change into."
After making the arrangements, Qin Qianluo watched Long Nanzhi being carried away, silently thinking to herself, "Let this girl get some sleep first, and once she's recovered some energy, I'll ask her for more details."
Who could have imagined that this sleep would seem to have no end? Qin Qianluo stayed in the hall, the candles already changed several times.
She would get up from time to time, tiptoe to Long Nanzhi's bedside, check his breathing, and touch his forehead.
As time slowly passed, worries, like wildly growing weeds, spread rampantly in her heart.
She began to wonder if the girl would never wake up again, and even prepared to immediately summon the military doctor.
Just as Qin Qianlu was filled with worry and restless, Long Nanzhi's fingers moved gently on the bedding, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings, and she slowly woke up.
As soon as she regained consciousness, the image of Qin Qianluo appeared in the girl's mind.
Ignoring the aches and pains all over her body, and without even putting on her shoes properly, she stumbled and ran towards Qin Qianluo's palace.
A moment later, Long Nanzhi, her hair disheveled and her clothes askew, stood in front of Qin Qianluo, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently.
Qin Qianluo's tense expression instantly relaxed, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. Thus, the scene of the two of them looking at each other in bewilderment came about.
Feng Qingyun had already woken up and tried to investigate Long Nanzhi's background, but the result was a blank. Feng Qingyun had no choice but to give up the idea.
Just as Qin Qianluo and Long Nanzhi were awkwardly staring at each other, a faint aura wafted from Long Nanzhi.
In an instant, Feng Qingyun felt a strong dizziness, as if the whole world was spinning. Deep in her mind, something was churning violently, trying to break through the layers of fog.
An indescribable sense of familiarity overwhelmed her like a surging tide, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.
Her brows furrowed into a deep frown, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white, as she desperately searched the depths of her memory, trying to grasp that fleeting clue.
The harder I tried to recall, the thicker the fog in my mind became; my memories were like beads from a broken string, impossible to string together.
This is the second time I've encountered a situation that feels so familiar yet completely baffling.
Despite her many doubts, Feng Qingyun quickly regained her composure.
She secretly speculated that perhaps she had seen Long Nanzhi by chance during the long process of searching for a host, which was why she had this feeling of déjà vu, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Feng Qingyun raised her eyes and carefully examined Long Nanzhi once more. Long Nanzhi stood tall and straight like a pine tree, her expression calm and serene, her aura peaceful.
Her every move exuded a unique air of mystery. Long Nanzhi's eyes were as deep as the sea, and the occasional glint of light in them was unfathomable.
Feng Qingyun teased, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Luo Bao, this person's spiritual energy is circulating smoothly. Although I can't see through her, I can be sure that she has no ill intentions."
It's strange, though. Since waking up, she hasn't said a single word. Could she be preparing something big? Or... is there something else going on?
