"Hey, are you okay?" Yuan hurried out of the pond and rushed to Mu Xuelian's side, finding her drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.
After catching her breath, Mu Xuelian lifted her head to glare at him.
"Who… who are you…?" she muttered.
"I'm Yuan," he instantly replied.
"You know that's not what I meant… You know what? Forget it…"
Though Shiva had possessed her, Mu Xuelian had remained conscious the entire time, seeing and hearing everything that transpired throughout their conversation.
Mu Xuelian quietly climbed back onto the ice bed and began cultivating.
Seeing that she was fine, Yuan returned to the pond and continued his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
