Chapter 406: Exhaustion (2/2)

The light shone in through the windows, a gentle beam of light made the dust dance in the air as Xue Wei was lying on the bed.

It was a picturesque image that seemed as if he was a male version of the sleeping beauty.

His eyes fluttered, and his fingers twitched. He felt as if he was being dragged from the darkness into the light, and he was feeling much more comfortable.

Although his body was heavy, it was not as heavy as it had been before, and it felt rested. He opened his eyes and found the beam of light shining in on him.

Xue Wei cleared his throat, only to find it being dry and annoying. It was clear that he had been sleeping for a long time.

He slowly rose from the bed; his legs were slightly shaky and heavy. It felt as if he had been sleeping for much longer than ever before.

When he stood up, he was suddenly lightheaded, but after taking a few deep breaths, he felt much better.

His face had regained its color, and he took out a spiritual fruit from his storage treasure and began eating it. The fruit was full of fruit juice, and he felt the dry throat being soothed.

The energy within the spiritual fruit also came to renew his energy, and he felt much better than he had felt before.

He could feel his weakened body regain its strength, and he was starting to feel much better than before.

Xue Wei slowly tightened and loosened his hand, trying to feel how the strength was returning to him.

After ensuring that he was fully fit for fight again, Xue Wei left the room and found that all his friends were gathered in the living room of the courtyard, their faces ugly.

”What's happening?” Xue Wei asked as he saw their expressions, his brows furrowing.

”You woke up!” Luoluo and the others exclaimed with happiness as they looked at Xue Wei, but soon after, a bit of worry flashed past their eyes.

”What's wrong?” he asked again, but they just shook their heads, not sure about what to say.

”The Empress has made an empress' edict that Luoluo is to marry the First prince,” Lin Xiao said. ”We refuse to let them, but she warned us that they would come and take her away by force if we did not accept by tomorrow morning.”

”We wanted to wake you up,” Hei Gou said, ”but Tianyi said that you were too exhausted due to the blood loss, and we wouldn't succeed in waking you up even if we tried.”
