Chapter 154 Wake up
Chapter 154 Wake up
Princess Hengyang suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream, a sound that seemed to pierce through one's soul and sent chills down one's spine.
Her body twisted violently from extreme pain, as helpless as a leaf in a storm.
However, Shen Qingyao, who was standing not far away, ignored all of this. Her originally beautiful and refined face had become ferocious and terrifying, filled with chilling excitement and bloodlust.
The black mist spread rapidly at an alarming speed, like a ferocious beast opening its bloody maw to tightly envelop Princess Hengyang.
The originally thin yin energy around them was gradually tainted and devoured by this powerful black mist, eventually merging completely with it to form a gloomy and terrifying dark domain.
As time went by, Princess Hengyang's pitiful screams gradually weakened until they finally disappeared completely.
At the same time, the black mist seemed to have completed its mission and slowly retreated towards "Shen Qingyao's" body.
Finally, when all the black mist returned to Shen Qingyao's body, she suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and instantly lost consciousness.
Her body plummeted straight down from mid-air like a falling meteor.
Si Jingnian, who had been monitoring the situation from the ground, was shocked to see this.
Without a second thought, he almost instinctively took a step forward and rushed towards the direction where Shen Qingyao had fallen, like an arrow released from a bow.
Just as Shen Qingyao was about to fall heavily to the ground, Si Jingnian arrived in time and caught her steadily with his arms.
Because of the immense impact of Shen Qingyao's fall, Si Jingnian felt a huge force slam into his arms, instantly making both arms feel numb and tingling, as if he had lost all feeling in them.
At the same time, the force traveled from his arm to his shoulder, causing him to experience waves of excruciating pain as if his bones were breaking.
At this moment, Si Jingnian had no time to care about his own injuries. He looked at Shen Qingyao, who was unconscious with her eyes closed, with great anxiety.
"Ah Yao...!"
Si Jingnian gently shook Shen Qingyao in his arms, his voice trembling slightly, his expression full of worry.
Just then, Ruan Hongshuang and Long Jiaojiao rushed to Shen Qingyao's side.
Both of them had deep worries on their faces, their eyes fixed on Shen Qingyao.
"Junior Sister..."
Ruan Hongshuang called out softly, her voice filled with concern.
However, when she recalled the strange behavior Shen Qingyao had displayed earlier, an indescribable fear and apprehension welled up in her heart.
She pondered to herself, if it was really as she feared, that extremely evil Bliss God possessing her junior sister's body, then would her master really have enough power to eliminate it?
What if Master is also helpless against the Blissful God who is possessing Shen Qingyao's body?
Thinking of this, Ruan Hongshuang felt a heaviness in her heart, as if a huge stone was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
Meanwhile, Long Jiaojiao was completely unaware of Ruan Hongshuang's deep-seated worries.
At this moment, her little heart was completely occupied by the unconscious Shen Qingyao.
She stretched out her chubby little hand and gently pushed Shen Qingyao's body, muttering to herself:
"Mother... what's wrong? Wake up!"
Although her tone didn't sound particularly anxious, the underlying worry was obvious.
The reason why Long Jiaojiao appeared so calm and composed, without any anxiety, was because there was a special connection between her and Shen Qingyao.
Through this mysterious and subtle connection, Long Jiaojiao was able to clearly perceive Shen Qingyao's steady breathing and unique aura fluctuations, and even accurately grasp her soul state.
For this reason, Long Jiaojiao knew that Shen Qingyao's current condition was relatively good and that her health was not seriously affected.
As expected, just as Long Jiaojiao had predicted, not long after, Shen Qingyao, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
She first gently rubbed her temples, seemingly trying to relieve the discomfort in her head, and then her face revealed an undisguised weariness, making her look extremely tired.
Moreover, there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, as if she was troubled by some kind of unease.
Si Jingnian, who had been waiting by her side, finally felt a little relieved when he saw Shen Qingyao finally wake up. However, at the same time, a strong sense of worry surged into his heart like a tide.
He stared intently at Shen Qingyao and asked with concern:
"Ayao, you're finally awake! Tell me quickly, how are you feeling? Is there anything that feels uncomfortable?"
Si Jingnian's words were full of concern and worry for Shen Qingyao.
However, at this very moment, she was also secretly conflicted.
He really didn't know if Shen Qingyao still had any memory of the experience of fainting just now, or if she had lost the relevant memory as before.
So, if she asks about what just happened, how should I explain it to her?
After all, some truths are too complex and difficult to explain in a short time.
Just then, Ruan Hongshuang, standing to the side, also looked at Shen Qingyao with a worried expression. She opened her mouth, hesitated, and after several pauses, finally asked softly:
"Junior Sister, how...how are you feeling now?"
His cautious manner made it seem as if he was afraid of accidentally saying something that would displease Shen Qingyao.
Shen Qingyao's gaze darted away, not daring to look directly into Ruan Hongshuang's concerned eyes. After only a quick glance, she revealed a bitter smile that was more painful than crying, and gently shook her head, as if trying to hide her true feelings.
"Senior Sister, I...I'm really fine."
Her voice was very soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, but it contained a hint of unspeakable bitterness.
However, that soft sigh betrayed her. The sigh was so faint that it was almost imperceptible unless one listened very carefully.
Shen Qingyao's gaze involuntarily shifted to Si Jingnian, who stood to the side with a worried expression.
His deep eyes were filled with concern and worry for her, which warmed her heart.
"Si Jingnian, don't look at me like that, I'm really fine!"
Despite saying that, Shen Qingyao's hand unconsciously gripped Si Jingnian's hand in return.
When their skin touched, a warm current flowed from her palms like a gentle stream, slowly flowing into her heart and gradually dispelling some of the gloom that lingered in her mind.
However, while feeling this warmth, another bitter emotion surged up like a tide, instantly drowning out the newly risen warmth.
