In the afternoon of that day, Xiu was finally going to be revived, but he did not let Shen Yanxiao watch the whole process. He just had Shen Yanxiao place his body on the bed and then had her

leave the room and wait outside the door.

Shen Yanxiao stood nervously at the door and did not know where to put her pair of small hands.

“Why does he not want me to watch the process of his revival? Can it be that there is some danger

in the process? Can he handle it alone? Perhaps we had better wait for the Dragon G.o.d and elder brother Siyu to come, for everything to be much safer?” Shen Yanxiao was extremely nervous and

kept mumbling with her small mouth.

Tang Nazhi, who stood to one side, speechlessly looked at his friend who had already become muddle-headed from anxiety; he pressed her wobbly little head.

“Little Xiao!”

“Ah?”

“Calm down.”

“……”

“Lord Xiu never does anything uncertain. You don't have to be so nervous.” Tang Nazhi stared and

spoke seriously to Shen Yanxiao. He had never seen her being tense like this before. One could see how important Xiu was in the eyes of this girl.

Even Shen Yanxiao could not avoid feeling in turmoil once things were related to herself.

“I am still worried.” Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and lowered her head. How could she not worry?

Xiu had slept for nearly ten thousand years, during which his soul was forcibly separated from his body and was used in wicked experiments. For more than ten years, his soul and body had been

separated, and his soul had also been depleted. It was not until their trip to the merfolk's hometown that his soul was repaired. Shen Yanxiao was really worried about whether there would

be any accident accompanying Xiu's revival; even if there was only a one-in-thousand chance of

that happening, she would still not be able to sleep.

“If there is no danger, why won't he let me watch inside?” Shen Yanxiao bit her lower lip. She was not a willful person. She just really cared for him too much, and could not help but worry.

“Lord Xiu naturally has his reasons for doing this, so you should worry less. Shortly, Lord Xiu will be

revived completely. At that time, you should think about how to meet Qi Xia and those guys. You

can't forget your friends, little girl.” Seeing Shen Yanxiao being so fearful, Tang Nazhi cleverly diverted her attention.

“Qi Xia and others should be back soon. If the Dragon G.o.d is fast enough, Yang Xi, Yan Yu and Xiao Wei will be back before long.” Sure enough, Shen Yanxiao's heart finally regained a trace of calm at

the mention of her several companions, with whom she shared trials and tribulations.

“When that time comes, we'll have to get together.” Tang Nazhi said with a smile.

“That's natural.” As they spoke, a strong divine power broke out inside the room, and the doors behind Shen

Yanxiao began to tremble violently, dazzling light glowing from the slit of the door.

Tang Nazhi immediately picked up Shen Yanxiao and jumped away from the door.

The next second, a loud cry sounded and the door of the room was directly pounded by a powerful

force. A dazzling light enveloped the whole room, gradually covering the whole City Lord Residence.

From within that glaring light, a tall figure slowly walked out. He seemed to be treading on the light which set off his elegant frame, making a person unable to s.h.i.+ft their gaze away.

Shen Yanxiao stared at that figure surrounded by radiance, her nervous hands that held Tang Nazhi's wrist were trembling. At this moment, she even stopped breathing.

“Little Xiao.” A familiar call came into Shen Yanxiao's ears, and the handsome figure that emerged

from the light finally showed itself before Shen Yanxiao's eyes.
