Chapter 149 Regaining Consciousness
Long Jiaojiao continued to absorb the Yin energy that was constantly seeping out of Shen Qingyao's body with all her might. As time went by, the originally hideous and terrifying wounds on her body began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the absorption of a large amount of Yin energy.
However, from beginning to end, Shen Qingyao showed no sign of waking up. Nevertheless, the yin energy seeping from her body grew weaker and weaker.
Finally, after the last wisp of Yin energy was completely absorbed by the dragon, Shen Qingyao's body no longer emitted any Yin energy.
At the same time, her originally pale face gradually regained some color, and she looked no different from an ordinary person.
Although Long Jiaojiao could no longer obtain more Yin energy from Shen Qingyao to nourish herself, her injuries had mostly healed after this absorption.
Just then, Shen Qingyao's consciousness seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible hand, gradually returning to her original body.
Her eyes gradually became bright and alert, changing from their initial empty and lifeless state.
After a long while, Shen Qingyao seemed to have just woken up from a long sleep, and groggily raised her hand to rub her eyes.
"What...what's going on with me? Why am I here?"
Shen Qingyao muttered to herself as she tried hard to recall what had happened before.
No matter how hard she racked her brains, her mind remained a chaotic mess, like a pot of mushy porridge, with various fragments of memory intertwined haphazardly, making it impossible for her to make sense of anything.
The only thing she could remember was that when she, Si Jingnian, Ruan Hongshuang, and Long Jiaojiao were preparing to leave this place, a dazzling light suddenly flashed by.
She instinctively looked in the direction of the light, and then she lost all consciousness.
"Ah Yao, do you really remember nothing?"
Si Jingnian stared intently at Shen Qingyao, who had just woken up, his eyes filled with concern and worry.
Seeing that she finally opened her eyes, Si Jingnian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased a little. However, when he thought of Shen Qingyao's confused expression at that moment, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Especially the mysterious bead that is still inside Shen Qingyao's stomach, it is like a time bomb buried next to them, which may detonate unknown dangers at any time.
The origin of this bead is unknown, and the power it contains is also unknown. Now it is quietly staying in Shen Qingyao's body. How can Si Jingnian not be worried?
Shen Qingyao shook her head gently, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
She desperately searched her mind for fragments of past memories, trying to piece together what had happened before. However, no matter how hard she tried to recall, her mind remained shrouded in a thick fog, a blank void.
"I...I really can't remember anything! What happened? Why is my mind so blank? And how did I get here? Didn't we agree to leave this place together?"
Shen Qingyao looked at Si Jingnian anxiously, her words filled with barely concealed panic.
Her reaction caused Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang, who were standing to the side, to exchange a glance, and both of them showed deep concern on their faces.
However, at the same time, a faint sense of relief rose in the depths of Si Jingnian's heart.
If Shen Qingyao still remembered that thrilling scene and the process of being forced to swallow that mysterious bead...
Given her stubborn and strong-willed nature, it would be difficult for her to withstand such a huge shock, let alone face such a cruel reality.
Ruan Hongshuang's lips parted slightly, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, preventing her from speaking.
She frowned deeply, her eyes darting around, and she was having a fierce internal struggle.
Because she really didn't know how to tell her junior sister about the strange things that had happened to her.
Ruan Hongshuang knew her junior sister's proud and strong-willed personality all too well.
If Shen Qingyao were to find out that she had been controlled by some mysterious force without her knowledge and had swallowed a strange object, given her temperament, her reaction would certainly be extremely intense, and she might even do something drastic.
At this moment, Si Jingnian, who was standing to the side, also looked worried. He knew that this matter was no small thing, and if it was not handled properly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, just as the two were hesitating, the simple-minded and naive Long Jiaojiao didn't care about such things.
Long Jiaojiao blinked her big eyes and said innocently:
"Mommy, it seemed like you were controlled by something strange just now! You walked over here like a ghost, picked up a bead from that man's corpse, and swallowed it with a 'gulp'!"
Before anyone could react, Long Jiaojiao excitedly added:
"And what's more, Mother, there was a lot of super dense and pure Yin energy suddenly emanating from your body! It was much denser and purer than the Yin energy from Princess Hengyang! I took the opportunity to absorb some of the Yin energy seeping from your body, and as a result, my injuries healed a lot in an instant!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang turned deathly pale. They tried to stop Long Jiaojiao from continuing, but it was too late.
This little guy's mouth was like a machine gun, rattling off everything in one go.
Upon hearing what Long Jiaojiao said, Shen Qingyao's eyes widened instantly, her gaze as sharp as copper bells, filled with shock and disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly shifted her gaze to Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang's faces, eagerly trying to discern the truth from their expressions.
However, when she saw the worried and frustrated expressions on Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang's faces, she knew in her heart that this was no exaggeration.
The worry was so obvious, it was as if it were deeply etched on their faces, requiring no further verification.
"Ayao, don't worry. As long as we can get out of here safely, I will do everything I can to find a master to help you remove the mysterious bead from your stomach."
Si Jingnian gently grasped Shen Qingyao's slightly trembling hands, his movements exceptionally gentle, as if afraid of accidentally hurting the delicate woman before him.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with endless care and worry, and his affectionate gaze seemed to penetrate one's soul.
"Young Marshal Si is absolutely right! Junior Sister, if there really is no other way, we can always ask Master for help. Master is very knowledgeable and will surely know the origin of the bead in your belly. Moreover, with Master's great abilities, removing the bead should be a piece of cake for her. So please don't be too anxious!"
Seeing a hint of coldness gradually appear on Shen Qingyao's originally beautiful and refined face, Ruan Hongshuang felt a pang of anxiety and quickly invoked the name of her highly respected master to comfort her.
