In an instant, everyone throughout the Snake King Temple froze. They stood like stone statues, motionless and unconscious, utterly helpless.
The scene startled his older sister. The people all around them had suddenly become like mummies. It was horrifying, and even their mother was affected.
"Mom, Mom..." Tu Xiaoyue panicked.
"She's fine. I'm just letting her get some rest."
While the others had been frozen by Tu Xiao'an, he had put his mother into a deep slumber.
'Mom has been terrified these last few days, leaving her body and mind incredibly fragile. My sudden return, the mix of overwhelming grief and joy... the shock was immense. She really needs to rest.'
'Besides, I'm about to save Xiaobai, and I'll definitely have to use some special methods. It's better if Mom doesn't see.'
'Saves me from a difficult explanation.'
Then, Tu Xiao'an pressed his hands firmly against Xiaobai's nearly ice-cold body, channeling a powerful force directly into him.
