Chapter 132: Awakening
Shi Anfeng walked to the cave entrance, spreading his mental power like a net to block the cave entrance. When something came in, he could react first and know, while also blocking it for a while.
“Right, green plants!”
Both of them thought of green plants at the same time, quickly taking out the remaining green plants from the space button and carefully placing them around An’an.
With the green plants, the entire cave became comfortable, and Shi An’an’s complexion slightly improved.
She felt the gentle aura of the green plants. Gradually, she channeled some spiritual power that she couldn’t absorb onto the green plants, and after passing some domineering spiritual power through the green plants to make it gentle, it returned to her body…
In this way, repeating the process over and over, Shi An’an combed through the messy spiritual power in her body again and again.
Day after day, amid everyone’s extreme anxiety, Shi An’an finally opened her eyes.
This time, it was a blessing in disguise for her. She had fully absorbed the spiritual energy from the several star beasts she had previously absorbed, and her cultivation level had reached the late Golden Core stage. She was just one opportunity away from promoting to Nascent Soul.
Shi An’an opened her eyes, looking at the protective shield around her and the empty cave. Her spiritual sense spread out as she searched for Eldest Brother and Brother Lin’s figures.
Moments later, she found the two hurrying back, so she felt relieved. Her spiritual sense continued to extend outward to check this place.
“We’re back a bit late today. Come back earlier next time. What if something happens to An’an?” Lin Xi said as he walked.
Shi Anfeng nodded. “Tomorrow, you stay by An’an’s side. I’ll go out alone.”
“No, what if you encounter danger?”
“Then I’ll stay by An’an’s side, and you go out alone!”
“Then… what if I encounter danger…?”
“………”
When Shi An’an withdrew her spiritual sense, she heard their conversation and burst out laughing.
Brother Lin was really too funny; his previous persona had completely collapsed!
Shi An’an stood up and turned off the protective shield. However, at the moment she turned it off, Shi Anfeng’s expression changed abruptly. “An’an is in danger!”
The two returned to the cave at their fastest speed, their hearts filled with extreme worry.
Holding weapons, the two entered the cave and found Shi An’an standing there intact, smiling brightly at them.
“An’an! You’re awake!!!” The two looked at Shi An’an with joy, and the huge boulder in their hearts finally fell.
Ever since they escaped, the two had been extremely tormented inside.
Shi Anfeng even more so. Looking at his younger sister’s condition, he felt immense self-blame in his heart. He kept replaying the events in the star beast nest countless times, realizing how useless he really was!
Not only could he not help at all, but he even dragged his younger sister down, forcing her to come save him.
Shi An’an smiled at the two. “Yeah, I’m fine now.”
“An’an, you…” Shi Anfeng looked at his younger sister, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Eldest Brother, what’s wrong?”
Lin Xi watched his conflicted friend on the side, pushed him aside, and said to Shi An’an, “Your eldest brother wants to thank you for coming to save us, but at the same time feels useless for dragging you down and getting you injured…”
After hearing this, Shi An’an looked at her eldest brother seriously. “Eldest Brother, if I were in danger, would you come save me?”
“Of course!” Shi Anfeng said decisively.
“Then the same goes for me!” Shi An’an smiled at her eldest brother.
“Eldest Brother, we are family. I think if any one of us encounters danger, we would all rush to save each other without hesitation!
So, Eldest Brother, you don’t need to blame or feel guilty.”
Shi An’an looked at Lin Xi again. “I think, besides family, there are also times between friends when you’d risk everything, right, Brother Lin?”
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, looked at Shi Anfeng, and lifted his chin. “Of course. If your eldest brother were in danger, I’d definitely go save him, even if it cost my life!”
Hearing his younger sister and friend’s words, waves of warmth surged in Shi Anfeng’s heart.
“Right, Eldest Brother, Brother Lin, do you know where this is?” Shi An’an asked.
Lin Xi shook his head. “In the two months you were unconscious, we searched different places every day, but this place is barren, bare and empty with nothing.”
“Two months!” Shi An’an was a bit worried upon hearing this time. “Uncle Liu is still waiting for me on Edge Star. After so long, I don’t know if he’s gotten impatient and gone looking for us…
And Father and Mother… they must be very worried.”
Shi Anfeng had thought of these recently too, but there was no signal here, the optical computer couldn’t be used, and no one could be contacted.
“Sigh, I don’t know how the legion is handling things. They probably consider us martyrs by now.” Lin Xi sat down and said teasingly.
“Whatever, it’s just those soldiers who have already sacrificed…” Shi Anfeng’s expression was grave. Every time he thought of his fallen comrades, his heart ached.
“When I get back, the first one I’ll deal with is Chen Zikang! Damn it, for his own selfish reasons, he let so many brothers from my First Legion die innocently!” Lin Xi said furiously.
“Not just him, but also the one who turned off the protective shield and led the star beasts to attack us, and the people above them. I must expose their crimes to the public!”
Seeing the two growing increasingly angry and unable to control themselves, Shi An’an quickly tore off a mint leaf and placed it under their noses.
The two smelled the refreshing scent and gradually calmed down.
Shi An’an looked at the calmed pair and said, “The most important thing right now is for us to leave this place as soon as possible. How do we get back?”
Lin Xi and Shi Anfeng nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go look in other places.” Shi An’an had the two put away the green plants, preparing to take them to find a way out.
Lin Xi happily collected the green plants. After two months of being nourished by Shi An’an’s spiritual power, every one had grown exceptionally lush.
“Great! Look at this one, it’s grown so beautifully! Tsk tsk, this one looks good too! Wow, this one is even prettier!”
Lin Xi collected the green plants while praising them with his mouth.
Shi Anfeng on the side watched his increasingly crazy and irrational friend and decisively scooped the remaining green plants into the space button all at once.
“Hey hey hey, be careful!”
“Let’s go!” Shi Anfeng ignored Lin Xi, finished packing, and gave Lin Xi a cold look.
Lin Xi caught his friend’s gaze and immediately shut up.
“Let’s first go check the place where we came out before and see what’s going on there.” Shi An’an suggested.
“Okay!”
“Sure!”
The two strongly agreed. It was too dark that night, and they hadn’t remembered the route; otherwise, they would have gone back to search in these two months.
Shi An’an held one hand of each, soared into the air, and flew toward the place they had come out before.
Following her memory, Shi An’an flew quickly toward the destination. However, before getting close, she sensed star beasts coming from ahead. She immediately turned, dodged to the side, landed, and concealed her aura.
