The palace’s decor is luxurious and beautiful, with a gigantic shell bed inside the sleeping chamber, comfortably enough for two people.
The bed is covered with soft shark silk bedding, with pearls as large as fists embedded in the shell, and bead curtains and gauze hang at the opening, vaguely obscured and partially hidden.
Jia Lan felt a sharp pain in his head, his memories fragmented from when he was unconscious, unable to recall what had happened, but a deep, unexplained ache pervaded his heart.
With a hoarse voice, Jia Lan opened his eyes and saw Shen Tang by his side, his tense, aching heart suddenly softened, souring, "Tangtang..."
Shen Tang heard the voice and turned to look at Jia Lan.
The youth’s eyes had turned into clear blue pupils, a hint of confusion and unease hidden beneath them, but with a familiar expression.
Shen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, she noticed Jia Lan’s entire aura surging, breaking through from Sixth Rank Peak to Seventh Rank! A blessing in disguise.
"That’s great, you’re finally awake, and your power has broken through," Shen Tang said joyfully, softly.
Jia Lan couldn’t remember what happened during his coma, but he knew that Shen Tang was by his side all along.
He extended his arms wanting to embrace the female, inhaling her familiar scent that would make him feel at ease.
But as he approached, Jia Lan suddenly smelled a strong scent of blood...
Jia Lan’s spirit was shaken, his expression tense, "You’re injured?"
"I’m fine... ugh!" Shen Tang moved, pulling her wound, grimacing in pain, her face paling.
She looked down at her injuries, especially the wound that nearly pierced her abdomen, bloody, and the pain which had lasted so long that her body went numb.
Damn, she almost forgot she was still severely injured.
The previous situation was too urgent, Shen Tang hadn’t had a chance to heal herself.
Following her gaze, Jia Lan saw her abdominal wound, his pupils shrinking, his voice icy, "Who hurt you!"
The next second, upon seeing the claw marks on Shen Tang’s body, he froze, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
These injuries, why did they look... like they were left by him?
The residual energy fluctuations at the wound matched perfectly with his Ice Ability.
The one who injured her—was him?!
Jia Lan’s breath halted, his reaching fingers paused mid-air, afraid to touch her again.
His heart twisted like with knives, waves of sharp pain.
His voice grew hoarse and somber to the extreme, "...Did I hurt you?"
Shen Tang initially wanted to find an excuse to cover it up but didn’t expect him to realize so quickly, hesitated, and softly comforted, "It’s okay, just small injuries, don’t worry about it, it wasn’t intentional."
Anyway, she has the Healing Ability, as long as she’s not dead, they’re just minor injuries.
Shen Tang was just about to activate her Healing Ability to heal herself.
Suddenly.
"Plop~" sounded.
Her actions abruptly halted.
A gray pearl was seen dropping onto the bed.
Shen Tang was dumbfounded.
She lifted her head and met Jia Lan’s reddened eyes. He was staring fixedly at her abdominal wound, his fingers trembling, wanting to soothe her but daring not to touch.
His tears trickled down from his exquisitely handsome face, almost forming a line.
A sound of pearls pattering ensued.
A string of pearls fell into her arms, bed, floor.
They were everywhere.
