Shen Yanxiao was so absorbed in her training that she did not even know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already morning.
“Xiu?” Shen Yanxiao subconsciously called out to him.
However…
There was still no response!
Shen Yanxiao felt depressed. Did he consume too much of his energy yesterday? Was Xiu still recovering?
At that thought, Shen Yanxiao suddenly felt that Lord Xiu was not that unreasonable.
Look, he had exhausted his strength to guide her personally.
Shen Yanxiao made a mental note to not call for Xiu in the future so that he would not waste his energy.
She ate some rations and washed her face.
Shen Yanxiao, who felt that a certain great master was very selfless, obediently hugged the black crystal and continued to cultivate.
Was this considered as repayment?
She would train in battle aura in the morning, and in the afternoon, she would train in magic. At night, she would continue to ask Xiu to guide her. Shen Yanxiao had arranged her schedule well.
From sunrise to sunset, Shen Yanxiao was prepared to receive Xiu’s second round of guidance. Even though the fight the day before had only lasted for a short time and Xiu had only spoken a few sentences, she had benefited greatly from it. She had finally learned the weaknesses of her attacks and improved on them. She even flirted with a certain Great Master’s nerves.
She had to work harder tonight!
Shen Yanxiao rubbed her palms as she waited for the arrival of a certain great master.
Shen Yanxiao blinked as she waited…
One hour…
Two hours…
Three hours…
Four hours…
…
It was daybreak.
“…” Shen Yanxiao remained motionless as she sat in her original position. Her eyes had reddened, and there was a mist in her eyes.
She was sleepy!
“Xiu! How can you skip class? Didn’t you say that you would guide me tonight?!” Shen Yanxiao exploded. She had waited for an entire night, but no matter how many times she called for Xiu, it was as if she had entered a bottomless pit. There was no response.
Shen Yanxiao was furious. She focused her mind into the lake to catch a certain someone who had skipped class.
Silence enveloped her heart lake as the waves beneath her feet spread outward.
At the center of the lake, a slender figure quietly floated in the air with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
Shen Yanxiao, who had rushed into the room to settle her debts, immediately calmed down when she saw Xiu.
“Does it really take a lot of energy?” Shen Yanxiao blinked. As she looked at Xiu, who was suspended in mid-air with his eyes closed, she felt a rare sense of guilt.
Shen Yanxiao did not notice anything unusual when Xiu came out of the cave twice, and each time was a longer time than the last. However, Xiu had said that he would condense a body to guide her every night.
Was that too much?
Shen Yanxiao bit her lips and withdrew her mental energy from her heart.
Even though she was heartless, she did not want to disturb Xiu’s rest.
As she hugged the hard black crystal, Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders as sleepiness surfaced in her mind. She yawned and hugged the black crystal with both hands. Then, she laid on the ground and curled her body as if she wanted to merge the black crystal into her body.
If it consumed too much energy, she would absorb more. Xiu should be able to absorb dark elements if she hugged it to sleep.
Shen Yanxiao curled her lips. She was no longer sleepy. She slowly closed her eyes, but her hands remained on the black crystal.
After Shen Yanxiao left, Xiu opened his golden eyes.
