At this moment, Shadowy Wraith was unclothed, her skin as pale as snow and tender like water.
Tan Yun looked at Shadowy Wraith, taking a deep breath to soothe the heat that arose in his lower abdomen, and began to heal her.
Tan Yun's hair danced as he released his spiritual sense to envelop the floating medicinal liquid. Under his control, a thread of liquid separated and slowly drilled into Shadowy Wraith's neck where she had been pierced.
Time passed second by second, and it wasn't until half an hour later that the medicinal liquid fully merged into the Shadowy Wraith's heart, beginning to heal the wounds within...
After completing the task, Tan Yun let out a deep breath and approached the bedside. He paused for a moment with his right hand on the wound on Shadowy Wraith's neck, discreetly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, then placed his right hand on her chest.
"Chief, I'm going to stimulate her heart. She might briefly awaken. If she does wake up, please help me explain," Tan Yun said, while feeling the softness of the Shadowy Wraith's chest.
"Mm." Shen Subing nodded with tears in her eyes.
Then, as Tan Yun pressed down with his right palm against the Shadowy Wraith's chest, a surge of spiritual power shot into her heart.
"Mm..." A look of pain appeared on the Shadowy Wraith's pale face. She suddenly opened her eyes and, upon seeing Tan Yun pressing down on her bare chest, widened her beautiful eyes in shock. As her mouth moved to say something, she fainted again!
"It's over, it's over. Will this girl seek revenge on me when she wakes up?" Tan Yun muttered to himself, "I'm saving you, yet you glare at me!"
"Tan Yun, have you healed her?" Shen Subing suddenly asked.
"Yeah, she's fine," Tan Yun replied without thinking.
"Since she's healed, can you take your hands away now?" Shen Subing reminded him.
"Such elasticity."
As Tan Yun retracted his hand, he couldn't help but grab a handful. In a moment of distraction, he was stunned to notice a hint of color returning to the Shadowy Wraith's flawless face.
At this moment, floating between consciousness and unconsciousness, the Shadowy Wraith felt a shameful part of her body being pinched. In her dazed state, she thought of Tan Yun, confirming that it was indeed Tan Yun who had touched her intentionally!
"You shameless man, I'll make you pay for this..." Before the Shadowy Wraith lost consciousness completely, her inner voice let out a scream...
Shen Subing had Tan Yun step away from the Jade Tower, and Big Niu and the others gathered around, each calling him "boss" and asking who the Shadowy Wraith was and why she looked so much like the chief.
Tan Yun told Big Niu and the others that he wasn't sure either, although he guessed that the Shadowy Wraith must be closely related to Shen Subing...
As night fell and the sun rose in the east, after a night of recovery, the Shadowy Wraith on the bed slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering. She found Shen Subing holding her hand tightly, looking at her with tearful eyes.
"You finally woke up," Shen Subing exclaimed, tears of joy flowing.
The Shadowy Wraith looked at Shen Subing with a confused expression, her voice weak, "I always wanted to kill you... why did you save me..."
Shen Subing's tears streamed down uncontrollably, "Because of this."
Saying this, Shen Subing took out the pendant hanging around her jade neck.
This pendant was identical in both color and appearance to the one on the Shadowy Wraith's neck!
The only difference was that the Shadowy Wraith's pendant was engraved with the character "贞" (chastity), while Shen Subing's was engraved with "冰" (ice)!
The Shadowy Wraith stared at the pendant hanging from Shen Subing's neck, unable to move, her only means of communication was her gaze. She weakly asked, "How... how can you have such a pendant?"
Shen Subing's vision blurred with tears, "I'll tell you a story, and you'll understand."
"You... go ahead," the Shadowy Wraith said, looking at Shen Subing, who resembled her. She seemed to sense something, and her gaze towards Shen Subing became unprecedentedly gentle.
