Liu Mei was sprawled on the ground, lying in a puddle of her own blood as she turned her gaze towards the cave's entrance.
Then, she saw him.
Shun Long could see the resignation in her eyes slowly turn into a moment of confusion, before settling into a look of unconcealed joy.
Her abyssal eyes turned into crescent moons and a brilliant smile spread across her bloodstained lips as she recognized the old man in front of her.
Then, without a word, with that same smile of contentment adorning her lips, she passed out.
"Mei'er!"
Shun Long felt his heart clench.
With a single step, he crossed the distance and placed a hand on Liu Mei's chest, on the gaping wound that had stained her robes a bright red color.
Warm blood coated his fingers immediately.
Without any hesitation, he spread out his soul sense and sent it into her body, inspecting her condition.
And the moment he did... his expression changed.
