When Si Hai was feeding her love potion before, Hong Chun had a prickly feeling. That was how she learned she was being drugged.

But right now, Huang Qiaoli felt at ease with this person without a good reason. She was thinking maybe he was manipulating her. However, she couldn't find any clues how.

She was lost in thought while still watching his statistics plunge like the data of a crashing airplane. That was when she felt a cool fabric brushing the area above her lips.

Gawking at the only other person in this cave, she finally noticed the tinge of red on the inside of Qin Yu's sleeve. The one that he used to wipe her nose.

Her hand automatically raised to the same spot.

"Even though what you're seeing is confusing, you can't keep on using your ability on me. My cultivation can still have a toll on your body. Aren't you feeling dizzy whenever you scan me?"

Qin Yu was using the word 'scan', Huang Qiaoli realized something. This person might have also been from another world, or maybe even the world she used to live in.

Was that how he brought her back here?

And by 'still have a toll on your body', it meant he was perfectly aware of his declining condition. It looked like he was okay with it too. Why?

"Have you no concept of pain? Stop using it on me."

Since arriving, it was the first time to hear him speaking with a stern tone. Huang Qiaoli tilted her head, bewildered.

It wasn't a joke, he really knew her cheat. Did that mean she couldn't hide anything from him?

One look at her and Qin Yu knew what she was thinking.

"You don't have to worry, I can't hurt you in any way..." because the effect would be worse on me.

He didn't utter the latter half.

Before the maiden could process what he was saying, he approached her from where she was standing and cast a sleeping spell.

"You need to sleep more to compensate for your blood loss."

Huang Qiaoli was hit by a bout of grogginess that she couldn't reply. Her closing eyes saw his arms catching her.

"It would be best to wait for me. But I know you won't follow anyone's words. Can you at least let the young fox accompany you?"

Those words only seemed like a gibberish lullaby now. In her thoughts, this spirit was dying. Her sensors wouldn't lie to her so, after this, she probably wouldn't meet him again.

Why did everyone connected to her die?

As Qin Yu put her down on the stone bed that was now covered with her outer cloak, he noticed the vestiges of tears on her face.

She probably wouldn't admit this to herself but the waves of woe that flowed from her to him even affected him who wasn't the owner of these emotions.

After getting Huang Qiaoli's soul back from that world, the goddess agreed to put a seal on some of her memories. The seal he used was one to gradually be released until he could fully undo it. This wouldn't lessen the trauma but would give her more time to adjust.

He believed she already remembered more things than she let on even before he entirely nullified the spell. But the girl always understood other people's emotions and mentality more than she could her own.

She probably threw them all to the back of her mind so she wouldn't be bothered by it.

But now that the seal was broken, she had no excuse anymore.
