After a period of time, the man slowly opened his eyes. In the darkness, that pair of eyes flashed a light before dimming and became clear.

“Ugh-” He habitually stretched out to touch his forehead but this small movement itself had triggered off a series of pain from various wounds all over his whole body. This series of pain jolted him awake as his once fuzzy consciousness resumed its usual sharpness.

“Master, you’re awake!” The voice of the Fire Qilin came from the contract space.

“Yeah.” Wu Lingyu groaned and began recalling the things that happened before he had lost his consciousness.

He recalled that he had followed the clues and went to the Pu Luo Mountain Range in search of that thing, however not long after arriving, his fainting phenomenon occurred again.

This fainting phenomenon was a period in which his soul was extremely vulnerable and would faint from time to time. This time round, however, he could not call out his Fire Qilin and had encountered a Sacred Spirit Beast.

If it was a normal day, he would not even put a beast of such calibre in his eyes. But this time round, his fainting phenomenon had suddenly occurred, way earlier than usual. This had caused him to almost lose his life here.

“Master, your fainting spells have been recurring at much shorter intervals these two years. We must find that thing as soon as possible.” Fire Qilin advised, his voice deep with worry.

“I know.” He nodded his head weakly and asked again: “I remember before I fainted, I was by the river, how am I in a cave now?”

“Master, have you not realized that there is someone else lying beside you?” Fire Qilin asked deviously.

Wu Lingyu was shocked. He hadn’t even realized that there was someone else lying beside him! If that person wanted his life, it was easy for that person to succeed.

“Master, there’s no need for panic, she saved you.” Fire Qilin said.

Even though his soul was extremely vulnerable and weak now, and the interior of the cave was dark, that still shouldn’t hinder him from sensing the presence of another in such close proximity!

He remembered before losing his consciousness, he saw a pair of bright eyes, does it mean the person beside him was the owner of those eyes?

“Well, it’s as if she’s melded into this darkness, and almost erased her presence. So it’s normal that you weren’t able to sense her.” Fire Qilin comforted his master.

Wu Lingyu took out a medicinal pill from his interspatial ring. This pill was a much higher tiered medicinal pill than the one Sima You Yue had fed him. After swallowing the pill, he meditated and used his Spiritual Energy to circulate the pill to amplify its effect.

After his soul felt more comfortable, he then sat up and took out a string of illumination pearls, wanting to have a look at the person whom he was lying next to. However, what he saw instead was a pair of eyes that were looking back at him.

“You’ve woken up.” Sima You Yue sat up and looked at Wu Lingyu.

Although she was sleeping, however the assassin instincts that was honed over the years made her extra sensitive to movements and sounds around her so when Wu Lingyu had woken up and ate the medicinal pill, she was already well awake by then.

“It’s you.” Wu Lingyu was surprised when he saw her close beside him.

“You know who I am?” Sima You Yue put her both feet on the ground and climbed off the bed to stand beside him,
