Chapter 331.4 - Soul Returns

That last statement from the old and wizened sounding voice carried a sliver of strength and power, striking her deep in her soul, as if she had returned back to the time when she was being sternly admonished.

“Grandfather.....”

The sleeping young lady suddenly parted her lips to talk in her sleep, her long eyelashes becoming slightly moistened as the look on her face became sad and pitiful looking, which pained a person’s heart to see.

“She moved!”

Sitting by the bed, the enchanting looking man in red clothes immediately widened his eyes in surprise when he saw that, and he quickly rushed outside to say in a raised voice: “Jun Yao! Come in and see! The little lass just spoke!”

That flustered man who was in such an excited hurry, was none other than Bai Zhi Yan who had not been seen for so long.

From the time that Lou Jun Yao came back from that place, it had already been a fortnight in the blink of an eye.

Qing Yu was carried back here by Lou Jun Yao because she had fallen into a deep coma back then, her entire body turned a fiery red, the burning temperature refusing to recede, while her pulse was faint and erratic, disappearing completely at times, which was just terrifying to see.

Bai Zhi Yan and his father had been relentlessly busy for a good number of days straight, working to treat the young lady before her body temperature finally came back down.

But the young lady had not once opened her eyes, like she would never wake up from her sleep anymore. Lou Jun Yao had not shut his eyes all this time, throughout the whole two weeks, till he suddenly fainted last night and was sent back to his room to rest.

It was only after the man fainted that Bai Zhi Yan checked the man’s condition and came to discover that the man’s body seemed to have been burnt everywhere, where there was almost no healthy bit of flesh left on him.

And because the man had left that alone for too long, his clothes had stuck to his burn wounds in many places, where the slightest tug on his skin would tear and reopen the wound, causing him to bleed. It was just too ghastly to see.

Bai Zhi Yan really did not know how the fella was able to withstand it for so many days, not saying a single word about it but to just keep watch over the little lass like he had lost his very soul.

Lou Jun Yao’s room was not far away from here and he had already regained consciousness. When he heard Bai Zhi Yan’s loud exclamation, he appeared there in almost the very same instant.

But the pallor on his face still looked a little pale, his violet eyes seemingly a little grim. Having not spoken for a good number of days, his voice came out a little hoarse. “What did you just say?”

Bai Zhi Yan’s lips quivered a moment before he replied: “The little lass showed some response just now and she even opened her mouth to say something, but I did not hear her clearly and do not know what she said.”

Hearing that, Lou Jun Yao’s gaze swiveled onto the figure lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She was not showing any signs of regaining consciousness and the aura around his body seemed to grow heavier.

“It’s true! She really spoke just now! Why would I want to lie to you?” Bai Zhi Yan quickly explained in a hurry when he saw the suspicious look on Lou Jun Yao’s face.

“Qing Yu, wake up already. Everything’s over and the life you chose for yourself is just beginning isn’t it?”

Finally, it seemed like the old man’s stern and kindly face flashed very briefly and smiled at him. It was for just an instant before it disappeared before his eyes.

On the bed, Qing Yu’s body jerked once before then slowly opened her eyes.
