Swaying back and forth.
In a daze, Pei Jingque forced her eyes open.
She felt a warm current flowing into her Meridians from her back, gradually soothing the wounds within her body.
The familiar True Essence, sharing the same origin as her own, and the familiar presence behind her allowed her unconsciously tensed body to relax.
"Junior Brother..."
"I'm here."
Zhu Ju sat cross-legged behind her, his palms pressed lightly against her vital points as he channeled his True Essence to help her heal.
It had been a brutal fight.
As the primary offensive force, Pei Jingque had faced the Tier Three Demon Beast, the Rock Armor Demon Crocodile, head-on, giving it everything she had.
Her injuries were severe.
Her lifeblood was depleted, her Divine Soul was weakened, and her Physical Body had nearly disintegrated. Without several years of rest, she likely wouldn't be able to make a full recovery.
"I can't believe it..."
A smile touched Pei Jingque's pale cheeks.
