The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
chapter-1508

The battlefront was slowly advancing toward The Rising Sun City. Shen Yanxiao sat still within the city and every day, apart from arranging preparations for war, all her time was spent on absorbing dark elements.

Since the day Xiu had fallen asleep, Shen Yanxiao had not been able to get half a reaction from him. It was like he had sunk into the depths of her heart lake and couldn't hear her call.

This was the first time she had broken contact with Xiu since Shen Yanxiao arrived in this world.

This feeling was very uncomfortable.

Shen Yanxiao sat cross-legged on the bed and tried to absorb the dark elements in the air. Vermillion Bird sat quietly with Little Phoenix and Mini Dragon, and did not dare to disturb Shen Yanxiao.

Taotie was honestly squatting on the table, stuffing food into his mouth, but he was very careful not to make any noise.

As the contractual magical beasts of Shen Yanxiao, Taotie and Vermillion Bird could clearly feel that since Shen Yanxiao came back from the Moon God Continent, there seemed to be a certain feeling of restlessness in her heart. This emotion existed because of a certain soul that had fallen into deep slumber.

As Shen Yanxiao absorbed the dark elements, her consciousness had already sunk into her heart lake.

Within this dim lake, she saw the figure of Xiu.

But unlike in the past, Xiu did not stand on the lake to watch her arrival.

Xiu appeared to be in a deep sleep, floating in the air with his pair of eyes closed at this time; a cloud of gray mist was lingering around him, little by little entering his body.

Xiu's weak state made his body appear somewhat illusory.

Shen Yanxiao looked at Xiu and inadvertently felt her nose become sore.

She quietly walked over to Xiu and reached for his left hand that was hanging on the side of his body.

"I will get through this. I will wait for you to wake up. You must wake up early." Shen Yanxiao wanted to hold Xiu's hand tightly, but afraid that if she did so, her hand would penetrate his weak soul.

When it rains, it pours. Shen Yanxiao was so strong in front of other people, but only she knew that this period of time was already a matter of life and death.

Xiu was sleeping, and it meant that she would be missing her most important trump card.

She arranged a good deal of disturbances for the four-nation alliance along the way, but it was merely to consume more troops of the four-nation alliance.

Even so, the disparity between the two sides was still huge.

This could be said to be the most major difficult problem encountered by Shen Yanxiao since her rebirth.

"When you were there, I always liked to ask you all the crucial things. Now that you're asleep, I'll have to deal with the four-nation alliance on my own. I wonder if you'll be satisfied with what I'm doing when you wake up." Shen Yanxiao appeared to be narrating to Xiu, but also seemed to be talking to herself."

Outside, there was a great pressure attached to her. Only when she was in her heart lake, only by the side of Xiu, could she feel a momentary tranquility and peace of mind.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the quiet figure of Xiu. It was as if he was awake and only had his eyes closed.

When Xiu was there, she was always unaware of her dependence on him, but as soon as he had fallen asleep, she knew how lost she was, trying to ask the soul in her heart countless of times without getting any response.

Habit was a terrible thing. After Shen Yanxiao was reborn, she had been used to the existence of Xiu.

No matter how rare the dialogue between them was, Shen Yanxiao was still very clear that even if he did not open his mouth, he was there.

He was just inside her heart lake.
