Chapter 956 - 956 956 Spatial Anomaly_1
Chapter 956: Chapter 956 Spatial Anomaly_1 Chapter 956: Chapter 956 Spatial Anomaly_1 The Water Drop Pendant by the poolside was shrinking at a rate invisible to the naked eye, while the white grain in the center of the pool was slowly expanding.
This process lasted the entire night, and by the time it was about to dawn, the Water Drop Pendant had completely disappeared, and the white speck in the pool had finally taken the shape of the Water Drop Pendant.
At that moment, on the interlocked hands of Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, strands of white substance appeared in Tong Sanlang’s palm, before entering Qiao Xiaomai’s palm.
Qiao Xiaomai’s skin became even whiter and smoother, while Tong Sanlang’s complexion turned progressively pale. When the white strands in his palm had completely vanished, his face was utterly colorless, and his breathing became rapid.
An increasingly intense suffocation roused him from deep slumber.
Now fully conscious, he realized just how dire his situation was.
He was so weak he couldn’t even raise his arm, let alone move his fingers.
His energy felt as though it had been hollowed out, leaving him with no strength at all.
His throat was dry and rough, and he couldn’t catch his breath. He opened his mouth and struggled to say, “Xiaomai, Xiaomai…”
He had no energy even to speak; uttering the name “Xiaomai” a few times made him as exhausted as if he had been laboring nonstop for ten days, so tired that he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep forever.
The situation at hand told him that if he were to fall asleep, he might indeed die.
Fighting against the fatigue that engulfed his entire body, he opened his mouth and called Qiao Xiaomai’s name with each breath, “Xiao, Xiaomai…”
Qiao Xiaomai opened her eyes and awoke.
She usually woke up at this time every day, just before dawn, when it was time for her to get up and make breakfast.
She moved her body and took out a flashlight from the space, wanting to check on Tong Sanlang.
Under normal circumstances, Tong Sanlang should have awoken by now.
The two had fallen asleep in each other’s arms, lying on their sides; she only had to look up to see Tong Sanlang’s face, which was very close.
“Sanlang!!!” she exclaimed in shock, sitting up abruptly.
Tong Sanlang looked at her and managed to squeeze out a word from his throat with difficulty, “Water…”
Water!
Without inquiring further, Qiao Xiaomai hurriedly sank her consciousness into the space, intending to get a cup of water.
The instant her consciousness entered the space, she immediately noticed something unusual: the grain-sized white spot in the pool had now turned into a white water drop, identical in appearance to the Water Drop Pendant.
The Water Drop Pendant that had been beside the pool had disappeared!
But at this moment, she had no time for surprise or investigation, she hurriedly took out a cup of water, held it in her hands, supported Tong Sanlang with her other hand, and urged, “Quick, drink some water.”
Tong Sanlang was so weak that he couldn’t even utter a word, and even the strength to swallow was almost gone. He leaned on the cup and, drawing on his entire body’s strength, took small, slow sips of the cool and sweet water.
The cool water from the Spiritual Spring entered his mouth, slid down his throat, and finally reached his stomach.
It was as if the water from the Spiritual Spring carried a magical power—once it reached his stomach, the strength that had drained from his body seemed to return a little, at least giving him enough energy to swallow the water.
After finishing a cup, he finally had the strength to speak again.
“Water…”
Qiao Xiaomai quickly got another cup and carefully fed it to him.
After downing three large cups of water from the Spiritual Spring, he finally felt a bit better: his breathing no longer rushed, and he could speak normally again.
But the pallor on his face had not recovered, and it felt as though a mountain was pressing down on him, still leaving him without the strength to even lift his hands.
