Chapter 327 Awakening
Chapter 327 Awakening
The ancient city stood in deep darkness. Beneath the ancient stone bricks, Yan Shuzhou curled up, his eyes tightly closed.
The chilling aura was pervasive, and the young man's frail body almost blended into the darkness.
so cold...
A thought flashed through his subconscious, but he quickly suppressed it and fell into a deep coma until a familiar voice rang in his mind, and his consciousness struggled to return.
【Yan Shuzhou】
Someone is calling his name.
who is it?
【Yan Shuzhou】
A woman's voice...
It feels so familiar...
His muddled mind recalled the image, in which a faint black and red flame flashed.
It was a warm feeling; it was from the person he trusted most, and someone he had missed for a long time.
...Is that person calling him?
[I'll give you three more days. If you don't wake up, you'll stay here forever.]
……
What... he can't wake up?
Yan Shuzhou suddenly shivered, as if sharp silver needles had pierced his eyes, jolting him awake.
He then realized that his eyelids felt as heavy as if a rock was pressing down on them, completely stuck together, making it impossible for him to open his eyes and leaving him with no strength at all.
A terrifying black tide, a gigantic elevator door in the sky, a heavenly ladder paved with countless white bones, an ancient dragon shimmering with golden particles...
The events leading up to his unconsciousness flashed through his memory like a film rewinding, finally settling on the words the woman had whispered in his ear.
[Fifteen minutes remaining]
no no……
Yan Shuzhou was terrified.
Is he going to be abandoned?
No, he doesn't want to be left behind!
A tremendous panic gripped Yan Shuzhou's heart; he struggled desperately in the darkness, trying to wake up.
The biting wind was still blowing, as if trying to suck all the warmth from his body.
Yan Shuzhou could neither see the light nor feel the passage of time. He even despaired, wondering if he had been abandoned by Miao Yin.
No...this can't happen...I need to wake up...
Suddenly, Yan Shuzhou felt a furry touch on his face.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating, but then he began to feel more and more furry sensations.
A creature the size of a palm surrounded Yan Shuzhou, its thick fur shielding him from the cold wind. They clung to the summoner, their warm body heat continuously transferring to him.
Yan Shuzhou's frozen fingers finally regained feeling. He moved his fingers and touched the familiar little animal.
—It is a nine-tasseled rabbit.
Unseen by Yan Shuzhou, countless creatures he had once summoned appeared around him, lying quietly and guarding him.
The rabbits lay on his face, their wet noses brushing against his eyes.
The powerful desires of the superhumans have influenced the Immortal Kingdom, and all of Yan Shuzhou's summoned creatures have come here at this moment.
The green light flowed into Yan Shuzhou's body through the medium created by the summoned creatures.
His fingers curled up, and Yan Shuzhou's eyelids trembled violently, as if struggling to escape an endless nightmare.
Golden particles flashed past in the gap.
After a sudden, uncontrollable detachment, Yan Shuzhou opened his eyes amidst a deafening ringing in his ears.
The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was a pair of golden eyes that shone like those of a god.
Her beautiful eyes curved into a smile as she looked at him: "Welcome back, Yan Shuzhou."
elder sister……
Yan Shuzhou blinked his dry eyes, and when he opened them again, they were moist.
Miao Yin rubbed the corner of his eye with her thumb: "Is the light too bright?"
Yan Shuzhou couldn't speak, he just stared at her, as if he were looking at some lost treasure that had been found again, unwilling to look away.
She's still here; she hasn't abandoned him. That's good.
"Brother Xiaozhou, you're awake? You're finally awake! That's great..." You Wenwen jumped up, her young face full of joy.
Ling patted her shoulder: "Wenwen, calm down."
"Tsk." Tu Hao looked at Yan Shuzhou staring intently at Miao Yin and made a sound of displeasure. "She really woke up. She really knows how to pick her time."
He looked at the alarm clock on the wall, its hands clearly pointing to twelve o'clock.
He was almost able to take action and get rid of this eyesore.
"I'll go tell everyone the news." Ling stood up and walked out of the ward.
Yan Shuzhou's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but having not spoken for so long, he had temporarily lost the ability to speak.
Miao Yin picked up the water glass next to her and fed him some water.
"You've been unconscious for too long; you'll need to recover." Seeing that the other person had taken a couple of sips, Miao Yin became lazy and put the cup back in its place.
Yan Shuzhou nodded earnestly, letting the other person know his meaning, his eyes filled with joy and affection.
He longed to tell her in person that he had kept his promise to her and that he had not let her down.
He also wanted to tell him how much he missed her during the time they were apart.
"Xiao Zhou, you did a great job."
Miao Yin's clear eyes seemed to see through all his thoughts.
“I saw it all. You single-handedly resolved the entire Black Tide, eliminating a major threat to me. It truly surprised and delighted me.”
She took his hand and said gently, "I knew my choice wouldn't be wrong, Xiaozhou, you haven't let me down."
Yan Shuzhou's eyes welled up with tears again, like two water-stained gems.
What could be more gratifying than having your efforts recognized by someone you care about?
He tried to grasp Miao Yin's hand back, a hopeful smile appearing on his face, and even his complexion became a little rosier.
"Damn it." Tu Hao, who was leaning against the wall, couldn't hold back any longer.
The other person's blissful expression, like that of a fool, was so irritating that it made him feel tingly all over, and he wished he could kill him right then and there.
Miao Yin was actually coaxing this idiot. What was there to care about? He was just a useless piece of trash who couldn't even get out of bed.
If I had known, I shouldn't have waited those few minutes. I could have just killed him quickly so it wouldn't have hurt his eyes.
Miao Yin glanced at Tu Hao indifferently, her eyes containing a hidden warning.
Why reveal things that Yan Shuzhou doesn't know?
If he regains his superpowers in the future, Miao Yin can continue to use them.
A loyal, powerful superhuman with abilities who can't escape control—how wonderful.
Tu Hao heard himself grinding his teeth.
He was even more annoyed; as expected, he disliked Yan Shuzhou more than Gong Jingming.
He took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress his surging murderous intent.
Just then, the people outside, having received the news, also entered the ward.
"Wow, you're really awake! You're a tough guy!"
Song Qiming, making a lot of noise, squeezed forward, wanting to witness the medical miracle, but was slapped back by Tan Ling.
Ji Yuanzhou and Bai Wendong also came forward to visit each other.
"Is there anything else that's bothering you? Should we see a doctor?" Ji Yuanzhou asked.
Miao Yin made the decision for the other party: "Let's look for it. Since he's awake, let's do another check-up."
"Okay, I'll call the doctor then." Tan Ling came up and pressed the call button on the bedside table.
Not long after, the doctor on night shift came up.
Seeing the person he had predicted would never wake up just a few days ago now alive and well with his eyes open, the doctor couldn't help but marvel at how different people with superpowers really are.
He took out the equipment and performed a basic examination on the other person, then said, "His heartbeat and breathing are very stable. Since he's awake, there shouldn't be any major problems. The next step is to focus on recuperation and recover his strength. Remember, do not use your superpowers for a while."
"clear."
After the doctor left, Miao Yin said, "Now that Yan Shuzhou is alright, everyone can go home. It's getting late."
It's already past midnight, and many of them would be asleep by now if Ling hadn't come to wake them.
"Sister Nayin, are we leaving tomorrow?" Yao Yue asked.
Although Yan Shuzhou has woken up, it is clear that his physical condition is not suitable for long-distance travel.
Miao Yin looked at Yan Shuzhou: "We're leaving Moon City. Can you keep up?"
Yan Shuzhou nodded.
More than the bumpy ride, he couldn't accept being left behind by Miao Yin.
“Then let’s go as planned. I’ll give you the RV tomorrow. You’ll be responsible for bringing all the medicine and equipment he needs, Wenwen,” Miao Yin called out.
"You must stay with Yan Shuzhou. If anything happens to him, we'll have to rely on you."
"Yes!" Yu Wenwen nodded heavily.
After assigning tasks for tomorrow, the people in the ward quickly dispersed, and the room returned to quiet.
Yan Shuzhou's spirits also waned, and his eyelids were about to close.
Given his current condition, he won't be able to stay conscious for long.
"Xiao Zhou, you should go to sleep too," Miao Yin comforted him. "We'll leave together tomorrow."
With Miao Yin's assurance, Yan Shuzhou finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
