"Ying, don't run so fast, wait for me."

Paimon looked at the very anxious Ying and said.

“No, Zhao Chuan told me before that he went to investigate the whereabouts of the Primordial Sea of ​​Fetal Water, but now I feel a little uneasy. I need to check on him. He must not be in any danger.”

At this moment, Yingxin was extremely anxious, her heart filled with unease and apprehension, because this was not the first time she had felt this way.

She knew that this inexplicable heartache was not a coincidence or accident, but an indescribable spiritual connection.

She seemed to have developed a special connection with Zhao Chuan, allowing her to sense his condition.

She stood in front of the elevator, frantically clicking the buttons as if to make the elevator arrive faster.

Her eyes darted left and right, hoping for Zhao Chuan's appearance.

Every second felt long and unbearable; her heart was in her throat, unable to calm down.

"Ying, it's alright. He's a god, he's not that fragile."

Paimon comforted Ying, who was stamping her feet in frustration.

Just then, a light rain began to fall, and the elevator arrived. I quickly stepped into the elevator and it headed down to the ground.

In Petersburg, the crisis was over, and everything returned to calm.

At this time, Zhao Chuan was still in a coma because some of his life force had been drained by the primordial fetal sea. His face was extremely pale.

"Head Nurse, when will he wake up?"

Leosley looked at Zhao Chuan, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, and asked.

"The situation is quite tricky. His body contains the purest primordial water of the womb, which completely covers his blood vessels and veins, as if his body is full of water. This water is nourishing a special power within him, but it is also absorbing his life force. If we don't come up with a solution soon, he will probably die of old age in a few more hours."

Higewen shook her head and said with a hint of helplessness.

"This is a god! The power of the Primordial Embryo Sea is so great that it can kill a god of high rank and power."

"Clolind said, somewhat surprised."

Just then, heavy footsteps came from outside, sounding like high heels running.

The group turned around and saw Ying appear in front of them, squatting down, panting heavily, as if she had been running for a long time and was in a great hurry.

"Ying, why are you back!"

Claude looked at Ying and said.

“I heard from Navelette that the god of Liyue is injured. Where is Zhao Chuan? How is he?”

Ying finally caught her breath and looked around as she spoke.

"Ying, slow down, I almost couldn't catch up."

Paimon flew over from behind and said with a disdainful look.

"Well, if the Zhao Chuan you're talking about is this deity, then the situation probably isn't very good."

Leosley looked helpless and stepped aside, allowing Ying to see Zhao Chuan on the bed.

"What's wrong with him? His face is so pale."

Ying walked over and stroked his face with both hands. Her voice trembled slightly, but it was still audible.

She gently brushed the strands of hair from Zhao Chuan's forehead, her eyes filled with heartache and worry.

She could feel his weakness, as if his life force was slowly slipping away.

"What exactly happened? Why did this happen?"

Ying's voice carried a hint of urgency; she was eager to know the answer.

Everyone remained silent, their faces showing solemn expressions.

They didn't know how to answer the question because they themselves were unclear about the specifics.

“We don’t know much either…we only know that he was seriously injured and has been unconscious.”

"Clolind said slowly, her tone filled with helplessness."

"Let me explain this to you."

Sidwen looked at everyone speechlessly. She loved observing human expressions and could read unreadable meanings from them. Clearly, Ying needed to know something in her current state, but she was afraid that knowing would make her sad again. So after hesitating for a while, she decided to tell Ying.

"How could this happen? He told me that the Primordial Fetal Sea is the key to breaking the Fontaine prophecy and also the key to his breakthrough. But I never expected that it would put him in danger. Should I not have agreed to let him go? Is it my fault?"

Ying held Zhao Chuan's hand tightly, feeling his faint pulse, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't accept this fact, blaming everything on Ying herself. If she had insisted on not letting him go, would none of this have happened?

"There must be a way to save him...there must be..."

Ying muttered to herself, then looked back at the crowd. They all looked troubled and clearly had no choice. So she asked them to leave so she could spend some time alone with him. The crowd understood and sympathized with her, so they all left.

After a while, Ying lay on Zhao Chuan's bed, and Paimon picked up a teacup and flew over.

"Ying, don't cry. He'll be alright. Have some water."

Paimon said with some sadness, looking at Zhao Chuan, who used to play and joke with him and save them from danger several times, now also unconscious.

"Yes, thank you, Paimon."

Ying sat up straight, took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, thanked Paimon, and then lay back down on the bed, embracing Zhao Chuan.

"Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I've ever seen you cry like this."

Paimon tried to start a joke, but Ying ignored her.

Paimon understood that Paimon needed to process this and calm down, and all Paimon could do was wait at the door.

A day later, Ying woke up from her sleep and touched Zhao Chuan's chest muscles, which made her blush instantly.

"Given our relationship, it shouldn't be a problem for me to touch him, right?"

Thinking this, Ying reached into his clothes to explore its secrets, but after a while, Ying's face lit up with joy. She noticed that Zhao Chuan's heartbeat had returned to normal, which meant that he was about to wake up.

Ying quickly withdrew her hand, got out of bed somewhat at a loss, and looked at Zhao Chuan who was about to wake up, feeling extremely happy.

Then Zhao Chuan slightly raised his fingers and covered his forehead, still feeling unwell.

"Where am I?!"

Zhao Chuan shook his head and asked.

"Zhao Chuan, Zhao Chuan, you're finally awake! How could you be so silly? You made me worry for nothing. I thought, I thought..."

Ying finally couldn't hold back her inner impulse and grievances, so she threw herself into Zhao Chuan's arms and hugged him tightly. Her tears of grievance flowed from her heart and dripped onto the hem of Zhao Chuan's clothes.

"It's alright now, I'm perfectly fine, don't cry."

Zhao Chuan was jolted awake by Ying's impact. He gently embraced Ying, stroking her hair with one hand and softly comforting her.

So the two sat on the bed, and Zhao Chuan complained about what happened in the secret realm, but he didn't mention the battle with the whale with the young master. He told Ying about the monsters he encountered and his breakthrough.

Ying was somewhat surprised when she heard about these experiences and the formidable enemies Zhao Chuan had encountered.

"On my way here, it seemed to start drizzling again. Why is the weather in Fontainebleau so unpredictable?"

Ying also started complaining about some of the things she had encountered.

"Well, perhaps the Water Dragon King is grieving."

Zhao Chuan shrugged and said helplessly.

"Water Dragon King! You mean, Vilette is the Water Dragon King!"

Ying began to recall the first time she went home with Linni, it suddenly rained, and that's when she came across this legend.

Legend has it that a water dragon king lived in Fontainebleau. When he was sad, it would rain. Usually, when it rained, the people of Fontainebleau would respond to the sky, "Water dragon... water dragon... don't cry."

Thinking about all this, Ying suddenly realized.

"Yes, he is the Water Dragon King, and the Water Goddess is Funina."

Zhao Chuan nodded in reply.

The two chatted about everyday things again until Paimon came in.

"No, Zhao Chuan, you're awake? Why didn't you tell me? I've been sleeping on the floor outside for so long!"

Paimon looked at the two chatting happily and said angrily.

"Haha, alright Paimon, he just woke up too. Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

Ying changed the subject.

"Okay, have some. After you finish eating, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Chuan nodded, completely agreeing with Ying's words.

So they went to the franchise cafeteria, and after eating the fast food there, Zhao Chuan looked at them with a smile on his lips, feeling that they were very happy at that moment.

"Ying, my cultivation has improved and I've broken through the bottleneck. Go and thank the head nurse here. I have to leave now."

Zhao Chuan spoke gently to Ying.

"Why? Didn't you just wake up? Aren't you going to leave without spending more time with us?"

Paimon asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, although my cultivation has improved, my realm is not yet stable. Also, because of the primordial sea within my body, if I don't resolve this soon, it will accumulate for a long time, and I might become as afraid of the primordial sea as the Fengdan people. The last reason is that I am injured and need treatment. If I delay, I might really die from losing my life force."

Zhao Chuan explained to them very seriously the purpose of his departure.

"Okay, I understand. I'm relieved to know you're alright. It's understandable that you're going into seclusion this time. I won't blame you."

Ying could understand Zhao Chuan's current situation, but the fact that he had woken up was already the best comfort she could offer. There was nothing else she could do to help him with the rest, so she could only offer her silent support from behind.

"Okay, then I'll be leaving now. Ying, thank you for staying with me for so long while I was unconscious."

After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, a Tai Chi diagram appeared beneath his feet, and then he disappeared from Ying's sight.

Zhao Chuan returned to the mainland via the Taiji teleportation array, found a quiet cave, set up a spirit-gathering array, and began cultivating to stabilize his cultivation level.
