An unnamed, desolate island.
Lü Zhong had just breathed a sigh of relief when his vision suddenly went black.
"My love..." The voice grew faint.
An unknown amount of time passed.
When he awoke again, he found himself in a cave. Moonlight Stones had been embedded in the ceiling, bathing the cavern in white light.
With her back to him, a figure was busy in front of a fire.
As if sensing his gaze, Yu Feng'Er turned around in delight, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "My love, you're awake! Ah, don't get up. Your injuries haven't healed yet. Let me help you..."
With her support, Lü Zhong managed to sit up.
To shake the three pursuers from the Fang Family, he had fled over ten thousand li in one go. The effort had severely depleted his Essence Blood, and even his cultivation had become somewhat unstable.
He was in a state of unprecedented weakness.
"My love, I was a burden to you this time..." Yu Feng'Er said apologetically.
