Chapter 61: The Fire
I don't know how long I've been unconscious, but I feel like I'm being dark all the time, and I'm also suffering from severe pain in my body.
Unlike every coma I've ever had, the prolonged pain of bone erosion made it even more unbearable for me, but I still couldn't wake up.
I tried desperately to open my eyes, but my eyelids were heavy, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do anything.
There was not a light in the darkness, but I vaguely heard a familiar voice that seemed to be calling my name incessantly, as if trying to pull me back from the endless darkness.
So I tried to concentrate on the voice, trying to open my eyes at the other person's call. But with all this effort, I lost consciousness again.
I don't know how long it was, but I slowly opened my eyes, and it was pitch black all around. As I fumbled to my feet, I suddenly noticed a fiery bright spot in front of me.
What is that?
I was curious, because whatever that bright spot was, it stood out in the midst of the infinite darkness.
I stretched out my hand to find my way in front of me, little by little, towards that bright spot.
As I approached, I realized that it was not a point of light at all, but a cluster of dancing flames.
The flame was small, and its bright light didn't light up the surroundings, but it emitted a hot smell that scared me.
In this situation, I couldn't tell if I was still in a coma or if I had fallen into something similar to a hallucination.
Just when I was wondering, the light from the flame suddenly intensified, and I couldn't open my eyes, so I had to protect my head with my arms.
Suddenly I felt hot all over my body, and the sound of wood burning violently.
I quickly lowered my arms and found myself in a sea of fire, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly gathered myself so that the flickering flames would not set my clothes on fire.
So what the hell is this place? Why am I here? Is it all real or an illusion?
Seeing the flames devouring the surroundings unscrupulously, I couldn't help but panic a little, and tried the spiritual power, but I couldn't use it. In desperation, I had to bend down as much as I could, trying to run out of this sea of fire, but fortunately there was a trail to pass through.
I ran out along the path that seemed to have been deliberately set aside, but I was unexpectedly led to a house that was engulfed in flames, and I involuntarily stopped.
I should have run away at such a time, but there was another voice in my heart telling me to go in and have a look!
I rubbed my head with a headache, how can I go in and see, am I crazy?!
But my body was not controlled by my thoughts, and I had already opened my legs towards the room.
When I ran in from the flames, everything in the room was burned to shreds, and in the middle of the hall I saw a man and a woman lying on the ground.
I hurriedly called out to them, but they didn't respond, and I guess they were completely unconscious.
Before I could step forward, I saw the two of them suddenly emit a faint aura, and the next second, I saw that they suddenly turned into two animals, the man became a fox, and the woman became a white rabbit.
Is this a youkai?
I wondered in my heart, since I can still change my appearance at such a time, it must mean that there is still salvation.
With this in mind, I immediately stepped forward to help them, but a flame suddenly burst out, and fortunately I was able to avoid it by reacting quickly.
When I took another step, I was blocked by an invisible barrier, and I was startled and immediately slapped the barrier hard, but to no avail.
Somehow, I looked at the fox and the white rabbit who fell to the ground, and I cried.
Then, no matter how much I slapped the barrier, it didn't change in the slightest.
I was anxious that the barrier was not protecting them, it was just forcibly separating us. The flames on the other side of the barrier were still fierce, and it was obvious that the things around them could no longer satisfy the desires of the flames, and the flames sprang up and swept the fox and the white rabbit up.
"No!" I cried out hoarsely, but could not stop anything but watch as the fire consumed them completely.
I sat down on the floor in a daze, tears pouring out of my eyes, and I felt like my heart was being shattered except for the pain in my body.
The fire was still fierce, but it didn't get any close to me.
Crying and crying, I gradually felt my mind start to dizzy again, and suddenly a huge black hole appeared directly below me, and its edge continued to expand outward, engulfing the entire fire.
I fell like I had fallen off a cliff, and it was pitch black again, and the wind was loud and blowing on every inch of my hot skin.
Because what I saw when I opened my eyes was also boundless darkness, I simply closed my eyes.
I don't know how long it took to fall......
Suddenly, I felt like I had fallen on solid ground.
I opened my eyes directly, but I found that I was actually lying on the bed, the carved bed wood exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, my body pain was completely gone, and the aroma also calmed me down a lot.
I was about to get up, but suddenly I found Xuan An leaning against the edge of the bed frame, his eyes closed, his face was a little pale, and the bandaged strips of cloth faintly appeared on his wrists.
That was the injury he sustained during the fight with the Emperor, right? Presumably in addition to these external injuries, he must have also suffered serious internal injuries. But even so, he was still guarding me.
I only felt that my eyes were a little moist, and my hand involuntarily lightly touched his wrist.
Xuan An's eyes suddenly opened, and the tiredness in his eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by an irrepressible surprise, he immediately grabbed my hand and whispered, "You're awake." ”
I smiled and nodded, then looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you seriously injured?"
Xuan An reached out and touched my head, smiled softly and said, "Of course." Look at you, you're still worried about me in this situation. ”
"Of course I'm worried......," I lowered my eyes, "I'm really sorry, if it weren't for me, how could you have to fight and defend me after getting hurt......"
Xuan An got up and sat down beside me, holding my head up with one hand, so that I couldn't avoid his eyes.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said in a comforting tone: "Fool, how can I blame you for this? You don't have to blame yourself, if I can't protect you, then how can I stay with you for a long time?"
After listening to Xuan An's words, I felt that my cheeks were a little hot, and I pursed my lips and asked, "How long have I been in a coma this time?"
I think I must have been in a coma for a long time, because it was always ten days and half a month before, wouldn't this be the end? I just missed the day when Xuan An proposed his wife, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time!
Xuan An suddenly chuckled, he took his hand back, and said lightly: "It's only been five days, and the situation is better than before." ”
Five days?!
It's really over, what about the marriage proposal?
At this time, Xuan An suddenly laughed, he looked at me with those eyes as bright as stars and said, "Don't worry, I have already calculated the next good day to propose." ”
