That morning, Shaoyin and Xueyao sat facing each other in a corner of her room.
She leaned over to pour the small cups placed before them water.
''Thank you,'' Shaoyin said, before taking a small sip of the drink. Xueyao reached down to quench her own thirst before pulling the oversized blue robe closer around her body and over her night dress. Her hands folded around her abdomen before staring at the beautiful semi-immortal seated before her.
Shaoyin smiled at her before lowering his cup.
''Do you get transported immediately to the next tribulation after you succeed one?''
Xueyao thought about it with a light purse of her lips before shaking her head.
''The last time it was so. It took days. I was just sleeping on my comfortable bed and woke up chained and carried off like a prisoner in a very strange place!''
Shaoyin smiled, ''And I apologise once again for the shabby welcome.''
Xueyao waved over her face that it was nothing.
