When Lin Yan opened her eyes again, she saw Zi Che Shao Hao watching over her.
"Yan Yan, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Zi Che Shao Hao asked with a smile of surprise.
Although he knew Lin Yan would be fine these past few days, he was still very worried. He wouldn't be truly at ease until he saw her eyes open.
"I feel much better," Lin Yan smiled and prepared to sit up.
Zi Che Shao Hao quickly went to help her. Lin Yan sat up with his support and then saw where she was.
"Is this the immortal's ruin?" Lin Yan could feel the spiritual energy here, almost condensed to substance, as she breathed.
She was lying on a carved wooden bed that was also emitting immortal spiritual energy, making her feel very comfortable.
"Yes, but there's nothing left here. The only good thing is that the spiritual energy is more abundant." If there were anything valuable, it wouldn't still be here; it would have been divided by the cultivators long ago.
This immortal's ruin was not very large; it was likely just a fragment of the entire ruin. The ruin drifted like an isolated island in the boundless sea.
However, it was very useful for Lin Yan at the moment. Although she couldn't absorb the immortal spiritual energy herself, it was perfect for the recovery of the "Yu" character seal.
With this immortal spiritual energy, the "Yu" character seal would recover completely in a short time. Now, it just depended on whether the immortal spiritual energy here was enough.
"Am I very ugly now?" Lin Yan raised her hand to touch her face.
"No," Zi Che Shao Hao held Lin Yan's hand, preventing her from touching her face. "You've always been beautiful, so beautiful it's heart-stirring."
He placed a kiss on Lin Yan's lips. Her cheeks were sunken now, so she couldn't be called beautiful, but in his heart, she was still the most beautiful person in the world.
"You even tell such lies to make me happy," Lin Yan chuckled. Men seemed to be instinctively good at lying.
"It's not a lie, it's the truth." He placed another kiss on Lin Yan's forehead. "What happened? You really worry me like this."
Lin Yan extended her hand, and two small seals appeared in her palm. "It's because of this."
She pointed to the slightly damaged small seal. "I need to use spiritual energy to help it recover."
"What is this?"
"This is what I had to obtain at the last auction. The other small seal was passed down in my family."
"These two seals?" Zi Che Shao Hao frowned, looking at the two seals in Lin Yan's hand. They should be a whole, but now one was damaged, which is why it needed a large amount of spiritual energy to recover.
"I think they both belonged to our family, but one of them was lost." The Tantai family had once been very glorious, but they declined later.
This "Yu" character seal might have been lost at that time.
"But now that it's back, I must make it whole again."
Zi Che Shao Hao understood her determination, as she was the only one left of their entire family.
"I will always be by your side," Zi Che Shao Hao embraced Lin Yan.
At this moment, someone also arrived at the edge of the boundless sea.
"Are you sure they came to the boundless sea?" the leader of the group asked the person who had been waiting there in advance.
"Reporting to Elder, I personally saw their carriage fly into the boundless sea," the person had been following them all along.
They had not left the carriage during the journey, especially in the last few days. The speed of their carriage had increased, and he almost couldn't keep up.
He only caught up with them at the edge of the boundless sea.
"However, Young Master Zi Che never got out of the carriage, and Tantai Wang Shu didn't come out either. They stayed in the carriage the whole time. I don't know if something happened."
"They never got out, so you're sure they were in the carriage?" the Elder immediately asked.
"This subordinate can confirm that they absolutely did not leave the carriage."
It seemed something they didn't know had happened, but it should be beneficial to them.
"Those at the Nascent Soul stage and above will accompany me into the boundless sea. The rest will stay here to provide support and erase all traces from this area." The Elder put on a cloak that could conceal his identity.
"Yes." The cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above also put on similar cloaks, while those below the Nascent Soul stage took a step back and then disappeared from the coast.
Lin Yan lay on the carved wooden bed for a day. Finally, three-tenths of her spiritual power had recovered, and she could get up and move.
As her spiritual power recovered, her body was also nourished and began to become plump again.
Zi Che Shao Hao had stayed by her side, providing everything she needed. Seeing that she could get up, he came to support her.
"Do you want to see this ruin? Although it's called a ruin, there are still some different sceneries here."
Zi Che Shao Hao wrapped his arm around Lin Yan's waist. Lin Yan wanted to push him away.
"I can walk on my own." She had recovered her strength and could walk.
"But I'm worried," Zi Che Shao Hao didn't want to let go of her.
Fine, Lin Yan indulged his behavior. There was no one else here, so she let him half-support and half-carry her to the center of the ruin.
After leaving the center, Lin Yan felt that the immortal spiritual energy was not as dense as before. So she summoned the "Yu" character small seal and placed it on the bed.
Although the seal absorbed slower after being taken out, Lin Yan's own recovery was much faster.
Zi Che Shao Hao led Lin Yan out of the cave dwelling, and Lin Yan saw a patch of purple flowers blooming outside.
"What is this?" Lin Yan was surprised. "So beautiful!"
"This is Rumeng. After blooming, it's as beautiful as a dream. Smelling its fragrance can also bring pleasant dreams. This flower is very delicate and only grows in places with extremely dense spiritual energy.
However, because it's not very useful, people generally don't plant it in places with abundant spiritual energy, so it's quite rare to see such a patch of Rumeng."
Zi Che Shao Hao was like an encyclopedia of the cultivation world; he seemed to know everything.
"Every existence has its own purpose. Not to mention anything else, this patch of Rumeng is truly beautiful," Lin Yan looked at the sea of pinkish-purple flowers before her.
Zi Che Shao Hao raised his hand, and a purple flower detached itself from the branch and flew into his hand. He then tucked the flower into Lin Yan's hair.
"It is beautiful, but not half as beautiful as the one in my arms," smelling the fragrance of Rumeng, Zi Che Shao Hao whispered in Lin Yan's ear.
Just as the two were engrossed in their affection, Lin Yan and Zi Che Shao Hao simultaneously raised their heads and looked in the same direction. Then, they exchanged a glance.
"Someone is coming."
