My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

"Junior Sister Ruan, you've come to visit Junior Sister Luo again?"

As soon as Sheng Meixu turned around, she saw Ruan Chayan sitting by Luo Hanying's bedside, sighing.

Ruan Chayan nodded sadly: "Exactly."

Sheng Meixu stepped forward to take Luo Hanying's pulse. He channeled his spiritual energy into her meridians and then withdrew his hand to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry. According to our observations, Junior Sister Luo is in very good condition. She is practically no different from a healthy person. She should wake up in a few days."

Ruan Chayan was both amused and exasperated: "She said that three days ago, I really can't understand why she's been unconscious all this time."

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Senior Brother Sheng, why don't you go and check on the other patients? I was just venting. I know she's fine, but I can't help but worry unnecessarily. You don't need to pay attention to me."

Sheng Meixu smiled and agreed, saying she would go check on the recovery progress of others.

Ruan Chayan pleaded, "Xiange, please check on Xiaoxue again. Why isn't she awake yet?"

Xian Ge said helplessly, "I already said, she doesn't want to wake up, what can we do?"

You can't expect me to delve into her mind and solve her psychological problems, can you?

Maybe she just hasn't slept in a long time and wants to sleep. What's the rush? I'm not even in a hurry for you to do tasks to pay off your debts. It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.

Ruan Chayan closed her eyes in self-reproach, a few drops of moisture glistening on her eyelashes: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't failed to dodge, Xiaoxue wouldn't have been so badly injured saving me..."

In her drowsy state, Luo Hanying heard Ruan Chayan and Xiange talking incessantly. She suddenly remembered Ruan Chayan, who was trapped by the formation, and was instantly awakened.

Ruan Chayan's surprised gaze met Luo Hanying's panicked eyes. Luo Hanying, panting heavily, touched Ruan Chayan's cheek and shoulder: "It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you're alright..."

Sheng Meixu was also very happy: "Junior Sister Luo is awake!"

He could tell that the two sisters didn't care about him, so he stopped talking and only glanced at them from time to time.

"It's good that you're alright." Ruan Chayan rubbed her eyes and patted Luo Hanying's back reassuringly. "I'm fine, and you're fine too. That's wonderful."

She scolded playfully, "You have no idea, you were in a coma for a whole month. If you keep sleeping like this, I'm really worried that you might never wake up again."

Luo Hanying belatedly slapped her forehead: "Huh? I was unconscious for a month?"

What's going on? What's happening now?

She looked around and found the surrounding scenery very familiar: "Why does this look like the spirit boat of the Shiren Sect?"

The surrounding area was filled with beds, and some of the injured cultivators were lying or sitting. It looked quite similar to the scene when they woke up in the spirit boat of the Shiren Sect after leaving the Yaoxiang Secret Realm.

Fusheng emerged from Luo Hanying's sea of ​​consciousness. Just as it was about to speak, Luo Hanying grabbed it and pressed it against her ancestral aperture: "Go back. I don't have time to talk to you right now."

Back in his sea of ​​consciousness, Fusheng found himself surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Ruan Chayan said with a smile, "We are on the spirit boat of the Shiren Sect. If it weren't for Elder Chen and the others from Xinglin Peak keeping you alive, I wouldn't have been able to see you anymore..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke up.

Luo Hanying rolled up her sleeves and roughly wiped Ruan Chayan's face, gently coaxing her, "Aunt Cha, don't be sad. I'm alright, aren't I? It's something to be happy about that I'm awake!"

Ruan Chayan brushed Luo Hanying's hand away and said with a serious expression, "If there's a next time, don't try so hard! What if you fail and can't rescue me?"

"What if you rescue me, but what about you... what will you do?"

She simply couldn't bring herself to say the word "death." They were so close to death that they dared not utter such an ominous word, lest it become a prophecy.

"What are you saying? How could I abandon you?"

Tell me, if we switched places, could you really ignore me?

Luo Hanying took out a water pouch from the Qiankun bag by the bedside, took a sip of water, and said smugly to the hesitant Ruan Chayan, "See, you can't say you'd abandon me, can you?"

Our friendship has lasted for so many years, and you have always taken care of me and been tolerant of me. No matter what happened, you always stood in front of me, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Back in the Fragrant Secret Realm, you were the one who told me to go first and even had Sichuan Pepper protect me. How could I abandon you?

Ruan Chayan was so moved by Luo Hanying that she burst into tears: "You brat, why are you saying all this? Now look what's happened, I cried, are you satisfied now?"

It's all your fault, it's all your fault, sob sob sob..."

Jinhua Cat peeked out from the doorway, curiously watching Ruan Chayan, whose face was flushed from crying.

With a wry smile, Sheng Meixu quietly activated the array on Luo Hanying's bed so that no matter how loud their voices were, they wouldn't disturb the other cultivators' rest.

Ruan Chayan noticed Sheng Meixu's actions, and embarrassedly turned her head away, covering her face with her sleeve and wiping away her tears.

Luo Hanying pouted: "You're not allowed to cry anymore. Seeing you cry makes me want to cry too."

Ruan Chayan looked at Luo Hanying's quirky expression and burst into laughter through her tears: "You're such a glutton, you want to cry just because someone else is crying, hmph."

Luo Hanying recalled what kind of pills she had used in the past. She looked inward at her meridians and dantian and exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, how did I recover so well?"

How come all the damage is gone? My dantian and meridians also look more resilient than before.

"Is the Shiren Sect really that willing to spend so much on its disciples?"

Ruan Chayan explained: "The Shiren Sect only saved our lives. Although they did their best to heal us, they couldn't restore our bodies to normal or even better. It was Xiange who helped us."

In their minds, Xian Ge said rather arrogantly, "That's right, it was me. If it weren't for me guaranteeing your safety with my own reputation and using my points to save you, your cultivation paths would have been ruined."

Ruan Chayan wiped away her tears and agreed: "Yes, that formation was different from what we had learned before. It caused great damage to the cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness. I was unconscious for half a month before I woke up."

Luo Hanying slumped her shoulders in despair: "Ah? Doesn't that mean I'm in debt again?"

"Oh dear, I can't take it anymore! Paying off this debt seems like an endless journey!"

Ruan Chayan smiled bitterly, "There's nothing we can do about it. At least we're still alive to pay off our debts, aren't we?"

"What did you see inside that formation? I saw you stop moving as soon as you went in."

Luo Hanying asked with concern.
