Feng Jiu emerged from the water, dried herself off, and dressed before going to check on Mo Ze. Seeing he was still fast asleep, she removed the barrier and said to Leng Shuang behind her, "You may withdraw. I'll rest here tonight."
Upon hearing this, Leng Shuang responded with a nod before withdrawing and closing the door.
Feng Jiu approached the bedside, her hand gently caressing Mo Ze's sleeping face. She murmured softly, "Ze, I'm back. Do you know? I'm right here. When will you wake?"
Her hand slid down from his face to his chest, gently lifting the hem of his robe. She gazed at the unopened black lotus imprinted upon his heart, letting out a silent sigh.
Her Blue Lotus was both the Primordial Chaoa Blue Lotus and the Creation Blue Lotus. Though she had faced grave peril when first obtaining it, she had overcome every obstacle along her journey.
