A flicker of pain crossed Sophie's eyes. She took a deep breath and recounted in a low voice, "After Linna was controlled by the night elves, her power surged, making her even more insane and cruel. She not only attacked us but also indiscriminately slaughtered innocents, and even... she even began to devour the life force of other creatures to strengthen herself." Sophie's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, clearly recalling some horrific scene.

Li Jin noticed that Su Fei's knuckles were white as she held the medicine, so he reached out and took her hand to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

Sophie looked up at Li Jin's concerned eyes, her own eyes slightly reddening, but she managed to control her emotions and continued, "Old Wang used all his strength to trap Lin Na with a sealing technique, but her power was simply too great, and the seal quickly began to crack. To prevent her from escaping, Old Wang... Old Wang chose to sacrifice himself, reinforcing the seal with his life."

"Old Wang..." Li Jin's heart sank, an indescribable grief welling up inside him. Old Wang, that kind and wise old man, the mentor who taught him so many lessons, had actually sacrificed himself...

"Before his death, Old Wang sealed Linna's soul and the control core of the Night Elves within his body." Sophie's voice trailed off. "Now, Old Wang's remains are buried in the Night Elf's sacred ground, guarded by the Night Elf elders."

"Why did the Night Elf control Linna?" Li Jin tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to be sad; there were still many things he needed to figure out.

"The Night Elves have always sought a powerful host to bear the dark power passed down through generations. Linna's ambition and powerful magic made her their target," Sophie explained. "They originally intended to use Linna's power to rule the entire other world, but they didn't expect her power to exceed their control..."

"Those bastards!" Li Jin couldn't help but curse. "One day, I'll make them pay!"

Sophie gently patted Li Jin's hand and said softly, "I know you're angry, but the most important thing now is to recover from your injury. Your injury is serious, you almost..." Sophie didn't finish her sentence, but the worry in her eyes was clearly visible.

Li Jin looked down at the bandage on his chest; a sharp pain throbbed from the wound, but he paid it no heed. More than the physical pain, he cared about Lao Wang's sacrifice and Lin Na's fate.

"This herbal medicine..." Li Jin looked at the herbal medicine in his hand and hesitated for a moment. "Could it be something strange?" He thought of Sophie's black bodysuit and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Sophie chuckled and gave him a reproachful look: "What are you thinking! This is a secret medicine of the night elves; it can quickly heal injuries."

Li Jin was relieved and drank the medicine in one gulp. The medicine was slightly bitter at first, but it quickly turned into a warm current that flowed throughout his body. He felt the pain in his wound lessen considerably, and his spirits improved a lot.

"Oh, right," Li Jin suddenly remembered something, "Where are Xiaomei and Xiaobai?"

"They're alright," Sophie said. "Thanks to you for pushing Xiaomei away in time, she wasn't hurt. Xiaobai stayed by your side the whole time, never leaving your side."

Hearing that Xiaomei and Xiaobai were both safe and sound, Li Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He struggled to sit up, but his body felt weak.

"Don't move!" Sophie quickly supported him. "Your injury hasn't healed yet; you need to rest."

Li Jin reluctantly lay back down, looking at Sophie's face so close to his own, and suddenly felt a dryness in his throat. Sophie's outfit today was simply too alluring; the black bodysuit perfectly showcased her figure, especially when she bent down to help him, her full breasts almost pressed against his face…

Li Jin felt his heart begin to race, a strange impulse surging within him. He couldn't help but swallow, his gaze involuntarily drifting downwards...

Sophie seemed to notice Li Jin's gaze; her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't look away. She gently pulled the blanket up a little to block his view, then said softly, "You get some rest. I'll go out now."

After saying that, Sophie turned and left the room, leaving Li Jin alone on the bed, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

Just then, a petite figure suddenly crawled out from under the bed and pounced on Li Jin.

"Li Jin! You're finally awake!"

It's a newbie!

Looking at the fluffy little white dog in his arms, Li Jin's mood immediately improved. He hugged the dog tightly, feeling the warmth emanating from it, and his heart was filled with gratitude and emotion.

"Xiaobai, thank you..." Li Jin said softly, "Thank you for always being there for me..."

However, at that moment, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and a figure wearing a black cloak walked in.

"It seems you're recovering quite well, Li Jin."

The figure slowly removed its hood, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

It was actually... Linna?!
