An Zhifeng nodded vigorously, "Okay! Leave it to me! This time, I’ll definitely protect them!"

Smiling at An Zhifeng, seeing Xiao Hei was fine, An Yiqing felt much more at ease.

"What about Jiang Xuerou?"

"Locked up in the basement of another villa, the security system was personally designed by Xiao Yoo. Absolutely can’t escape." Zhang Yufeng responded.

"Very good! Treat her well over the next few days, just keep her alive." An Yiqing nodded in satisfaction and took out a wooden box that had been prepared earlier, "Inside is a new poison and antidote I developed. Feed her both every day, and have her describe how they feel. If she doesn’t, torture her until she does."

Zhang Yufeng and the others shivered together, nodding repeatedly. Their lady was furious, Jiang Xuerou was in for it.

Two days later, Xiao Hei finally opened his eyes from his slumber. He looked around, and his gaze finally settled on that white figure.

"Sister An..."

Just coming out of the bathroom with a wet towel intending to wipe Xiao Hei’s body, An Yiqing heard the voice and immediately came out.

"You’re awake? Does it still hurt? Anywhere uncomfortable?"

Xiao Hei blinked his amber-colored round eyes, and with difficulty, raised his small hand to touch An Yiqing’s face.

Hmm... This isn’t a dream...

"Sister An, did Xiao Hei not die?"

Feeling a pang of sourness in her heart yet smiling with her eyes, An Yiqing said, "How could Xiao Hei, being so good, die? Besides, Zixuan and the others worked very hard to rescue you. If something happened to you, how heartbroken would they be?"

Xiao Hei blinked, and his mouth curved into a shallow smile with difficulty.

"It’s so good to see Sister An..."

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a slightly arrogant yet weak voice came in.

"Meow-a-mia! All the suffering wasn’t in vain, you finally woke up!"

Xiao Hei slowly turned his head, and his gaze fell on two cats and a small dragon entering through the door.

"Boohoo... Xiao Hei, you scared me to death! You don’t know how terrifying it was then, my heart almost stopped from fright!" Fatty Mao Er staggered and jumped onto the bed, nestling next to Xiao Hei. Her big blue eyes were tearing up constantly, "You’re usually so quiet, how did you end up causing something like this?! Scared me to death!"

"Xiao Hei..." Long Zixuan’s weak voice came from below the bed. His body was the most feeble, and after struggling for a long time, he couldn’t get up. Eventually, An Yiqing lifted him up onto the bed with one hand.

Looking at Long Zixuan’s dim dragon body, the weak Fatty Mao Er and Old Jin, Xiao Hei smiled silently, "Thank you all."

"Hmph! What are you thanking for? Hurry up and recover your spiritual power, don’t scare us again. Especially the master, she hasn’t slept for several days taking care of you, she’s almost become a panda."

An Yiqing was amused and exasperated by Old Jin’s analogy, glaring at him fiercely.

"Sister An, I’m sorry..." Xiao Hei looked at An Yiqing, eyes full of apology. It was because he had no spiritual power that the enemy had an opportunity.

"Silly boy, we’re all family, why say sorry. It’s my duty to protect you all." An Yiqing patted his little hand, smiling warmly.

Xiao Hei looked deeply at the chatting An Yiqing and Long Zixuan and the others, and for the first time, a desire for strength arose. He wanted to become strong enough to protect them and keep their smiles.

With their weak bodies, Long Zixuan and the other two quickly tired and were eventually mercilessly shooed back to their room by An Yiqing. Xiao Hei also lost his energy, took the medicine An Yiqing gave him, and fell into a deep sleep.

Watching the peacefully sleeping Xiao Hei, a hint of rosiness appeared on his pale face, and An Yiqing smiled contentedly. She yawned and finally fell asleep on the sofa.

This sleep lasted until the next evening when An Yiqing woke up. She opened her eyes, sat up with a start, and looked towards the big bed.

On the big bed, Xiao Hei was awake, chatting happily with Fatty Mao Er and the other three. Their voices were very low, as if afraid to disturb the sleeping An Yiqing.

"Sister An, you’re awake?" Xiao Hei turned his head, and upon seeing An Yiqing awake, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Mm, how long did I sleep?" An Yiqing looked a bit confused towards the window; was it dark already?

Old Jin chuckled, "Not long, just a day and a half."

A day and a half? That long?

With a wry smile and a shake of her head, it seemed she was exhausted too.

"How’s your body feeling? Is there any discomfort?" An Yiqing walked to the bedside, carefully examining Xiao Hei.

"No, Sister An’s healing medicine works well, my wounds don’t hurt as much anymore." Xiao Hei’s eyes gained a bit of vitality, with less weakness.

"That’s good." An Yiqing smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "In a few days, the wounds will start healing. The process of growing new flesh will be itchy, so bear with it."

Xiao Hei nodded obediently, suddenly remembering something, "Oh right, Sister An, I feel there’s an extra mass of spiritual energy inside me. Zixuan said it’s not his Spirit Root Energy."

An Yiqing was taken aback, and used the Clairvoyant Eye to look at Xiao Hei’s body.

In his dantian, a swirling mass of dark energy was continuously rotating there. As the energy moved, countless strands of dark spiritual energy flowed through the major meridians, gradually expanding and repairing them as they passed through.

An Yiqing’s heart was filled with joy; could it be that Xiao Hei was developing spiritual power?!
