Chapter 425: Awakens

“Four days have passed…”

Lian Hua frowned slightly as she looked at Victor who was still unconscious. Her eyes filled with worry.

During the few days that Victor was unconscious, Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling tried their best, but they were unable to wake him up.

Victor’s spirit was too weak. There were many times when he was idle and would completely disappear. It was Lian Hua who stabilized Victor’s mind with the zither.

It was also because of this that during these four days, apart from resting, Lian Hua would always be by Victor’s side, caressing his thoughts with the zither.

However, that was a heaven rank cultivation technique after all. With Lian Hua’s current cultivation level, if she wanted to use it, it would expend a lot of her soul power.

As for Nalan Lengling, she felt that there was nothing she could do. She could only go into seclusion and cultivate.

In Nalan Lengling’s eyes, no matter what Victor thought, she had lost to Lian Hua this time. This was the truth. Therefore, she had to double her cultivation so that her strength was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Victor. She could not only look at him like this and chase after his back.

However, unlike the two girls who were preoccupied with their thoughts, Victor felt free.

He had thrown all the matters of repairing the damaged soul to the mountain spirit. Although the progress was not fast, it had basically completed 70% of it. Victor could basically solve the rest by himself.

However, according to the mountain spirit, this encounter was also an opportunity for Victor, a chance to strengthen his soul. That was why he had been patient and did not wake up for a long time.

“So, how much longer do we need?” Victor rubbed his hair, looking a little irritated.

“Soon. Five days at most, three days at the very least.” The mountain spirit’s tone was calm, it continued, “There’s no other way. If we just want to repair the soul, two days are enough. But if we want to become stronger, we have to make some sacrifices. It’s just a sacrifice of time. Master, you should be satisfied.”

“It’s not that I’m not content. It’s just that I’ve stayed in the Small World for too long. I don’t know what’s happening outside.”

Victor originally wanted to find out the inside story of the collaboration between the Xiao family and the Central Plains Sect Alliance.

After all, one of them was an aristocratic family that had not declined for a long time. It could be said that the Xiao family was the leader of the Southern Plains. The other one was just a bunch of rotten fish and prawns. The two were simply not the same. If there wasn’t anything fishy about this… In any case, Victor did not believe it.

“Since master wants to speed up the progress, you can’t just look at me.”

“What can I do? Or should I say, what do I need to do?” A hint of hope appeared in Victor’s eyes. Killing two birds with one stone, why not?

“Actually, it’s very simple. Just like what I’m doing now. Plundering my soul power to strengthen and temper your divine soul. However, if this process is led by master, the speed will be much faster.”

“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Victor shot a glance at the mountain spirit and immediately acquired control. Like a whale swallowing its prey, he crazily plundered the mountain spirit’s soul power.

“Speaking of which, if I do this, would it cause any harm to you?”

Having ordered the mountain spirit to do such a thing, it was obvious that Victor was somewhat embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, master. How much soul power can you plunder? To me, it can only be considered a drop in the ocean. Don’t worry.”

The mountain spirit waved its hand indifferently, completely dispelling Victor’s worries.

However, it had to be said that after Victor took over the lead, his speed had indeed increased by quite a bit. According to the mountain spirit, it would be over in two hours at most.

“To be honest, you’ve helped me so much. I should give you something in return.”

After about 5% of the workload was left, Victor once again returned to the state of a corpse. He chatted casually with the mountain spirit.

“How about this, in the future, I’ll help you unseal your soul and give you a free body?”

After saying that, Victor felt that he was slightly arrogant. Even a powerhouse like the mountain spirit would be sealed. What could a mere core formation realm cultivator like him do?

However, the mountain spirit’s reaction surprised Victor.

“Then I’ll have to rely on my master.”

“Wait a moment. Don’t you think that I’m bragging?”

“Why should I think so? With master’s talent, it’s only a matter of time before you surpass me.” The mountain spirit chuckled, it continued, “I don’t know why, even though master’s current cultivation isn’t worth mentioning, I’m still willing to believe you. Otherwise, I would have taken this opportunity to leave.”

“Then, thank you for believing me?”

Hearing this, Victor rolled his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt his thoughts becoming clearer. He could also gradually sense the existence of his body. Victor knew that his soul had already been repaired.

“It’s already over, master. Remember not to take such a risk next time. The soul is even more important to strength cultivators than tempering qi and blood.”

“Alright, I got it.”

Victor waved his hand and his mind moved.

In the next moment, he slowly opened his eyes and listened to the music by his ears. He revealed a smile.

Lian Hua obviously noticed Victor’s change. She stood up in surprise and threw herself into Victor’s arms. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

“You still have the cheek to wake up! Why don’t you just die!”

“Hehe… If I die, won’t you become a widow?”

Victor held Lian Hua’s hand and looked at her fingertips that had been torn by the strings. His heart ached.

This time, although there was a reason for it, it was indeed due to him being inconsiderate.

“Where’s little senior sister?”

“Bah! B*stard, the first thing you do when you wake up is to ask for your senior sister! You might as well die!”

Lian Hua turned around angrily and pouted.

Seeing this scene, Victor quickly went up to comfort her. At the right time, Nalan Lengling also returned to the wooden house. Looking at Victor who had finally woken up, she was overjoyed.

“You’re awake.”

“Yes, I’m awake.”

“There aren’t any problems, right?”

“Don’t worry, my body is great!”

Victor grinned and patted his chest, making loud banging sounds.

Seeing this scene, Nalan Lengling chuckled and walked to Victor.

“I’m sorry… If I didn’t cause trouble, I wouldn’t have made you unconscious for so long.”

“It’s good that you know! Some people insist on showing their warm-heartedness but don’t know what kind of consequences they have to bear. If Victor didn’t clean up your mess for you, I don’t know how much trouble it would have been.”

Lian Hua seized the opportunity to mock Nalan Lengling, causing the self-reproach on Nalan Lengling’s face to become even more intense.

“Lian Hua, apologize.”

Victor’s expression was solemn. He turned around and stared at Lian Hua without blinking.

“What right do I have to apologize? This is her fault to begin with! What did I say wrong?”
