The sky was pitch-black as night fell.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Yang Xiao opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw upon opening them was a purple figure in the flickering firelight, followed by a sweet laugh. "You're finally awake, little Junior Brother. You've been unconscious for several days."
'Little Junior Brother? Have I been reborn again?'
He stared at the purple-robed woman before him for a long while.
Yang Xiao couldn't process what was happening.
Seeing the utter confusion on his face, Yang Ziling quickly realized. "Oh, right, I haven't asked for your name yet, have I?"
"My name? Aren't you already calling me little Junior Brother?"
This only confused Yang Xiao more.
Yang Ziling, however, blushed slightly.
'Curse it,' she chided herself internally. 'How could I have accidentally said what I was thinking out loud?'
'It would be bad if I annoyed him.'
'Still, this little guy looks so dazed and clueless. He shouldn't be too hard to handle, right?'
