The Phoenix stared blankly at the spot where he disappeared and said dully, "Spiritual Sense? Could he be a powerhouse beyond the Beast Emperor?" In the midst of chaos, it seemed endless. The road beneath extended, unsure where it led. All around was darkness, and the sound of a heartbeat could be heard. There was no day here, no light, only endless running, nothing else. Su Chen looked ahead with fear, his eyes carrying a hint of hope. Even a sliver of light could bring him warmth and confidence at this moment. But there was none; in his running, there was no sweat, no exhaustion, and no end. He didn’t know what else he could do besides running endlessly. Even the right to imagine beautiful things was replaced by endless fear. Like an echo in a hollow valley, Su Chen’s mournful cry echoed across the sky, and a flock of birds flapped past, dropping a few feathers mid-air. The body of the Wolverine, which was running at high speed, paused for a moment, then continued to run. Su Chen opened his eyes, and a tear-streaked, beautiful face slowly came into view. At this moment, the fear in his heart seemed to be dispelled, and a faint light gradually spread in his heart. "It’s me, Su Chen, you finally woke up." The Phoenix wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, saying with quite joy. Only she knew how she got through the days when Su Chen was in a coma. The Wolverine ran madly towards the entrance of the Forest of Death in the direction of Nadas City, and she couldn’t command it to stop. She had to endure hunger, using the belief of seeing Su Chen wake up as motivation, getting through those incredibly difficult four days and nights. Finally, when she saw Su Chen wake up, her heart was completely liberated at that moment. It wasn’t the joy of having someone to accompany her, nor was it the relief of having an outlet for hunger and exhaustion, but genuine happiness for Su Chen’s survival. "I thought you would never wake up, that in the end, I could only guard a cold corpse, that I would never see your smile again, never understand the pain on your face, that I would spend my life standing behind you, watching you shield me from crisis after crisis, I thought..." The Phoenix spoke and cried simultaneously, her tears fell uncontrollably onto Su Chen’s face, stunning him. He stared blankly at the emotionally overwhelmed woman in front of him. A warm feeling surged in his heart again, heating up his once-silent spirit. He reached out his weak right hand, gently wiped away the Phoenix’s tears, and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Why are you crying ? I’m still alive, aren’t I?" "Wuuu wuuu wuuu wuuu... Su Chen, I was so scared, scared that if you slept, you would never wake again! Then I would have to face all the despair alone!" The Phoenix suddenly leaned down, hugging Su Chen tightly, pressing her tear-drenched face against Su Chen’s cold and pale side face. In her lament, her delicate body shivered increasingly cold and hungry, turning her into a weeping mess. Su Chen extended his arms, gently embracing the person in his arms. A slight smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, clear yet warm, "Don’t cry now, I’m okay, and I won’t leave you here alone..."... After a long time, the Phoenix finally released Su Chen, but a blush had already risen on her jade-like face. "I’m sorry, you’re so badly hurt, and I was even hugging so tightly." Her eyes dared not meet Su Chen’s, her tear-streaked pretty face looked as fresh and lovely as a lotus out of water. Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "It’s okay, at the very least, I still have the strength to let a woman hug me." The Phoenix faintly pouted, but unexpectedly, a protest came from her stomach. Bowing her head, she dared not look at Su Chen. Su Chen shook his head helplessly, "I was really careless. Taking care of me for so long, you probably haven’t eaten anything, right?" The Phoenix replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito, and then saw Su Chen magically produce a thin, fragrant pastry, at which she hesitated, holding her jade-like hands, whether to reach out and accept it. "Take it, we’ve been through life and death together so many times, why bother with such a trivial matter of face?" Su Chen chuckled softly. The Phoenix’s heart trembled upon hearing it, yet the blush on her face faded slightly. Lowering her head, she slowly extended her jade-like hand to take the pastry, but in a moment of haste, she grabbed Su Chen’s entire right hand. Instantly, she was about to retract it as if shocked. However, this time, Su Chen held her hand with gentle firmness, making the Phoenix feel a bit shy. "Why are you grabbing my hand..." "Thank you for taking care of me all this time." "I should be thanking you. If not for you, I would have died in the Forest of Death a long time ago." The Phoenix said with a grateful tone. "So, does that mean we are even now?" Su Chen spoke in a low tone that instantly excited the Phoenix, "No, I owe you much more, and didn’t I promise to repay you by being your servant..." Su Chen chuckled, his eyes carrying a hint of teasing, "Being a servant, what kind of servant?" "I can do the laundry, cook, serve tea, and water..." The Phoenix said in a low voice. Su Chen waved his hand, his eyes still filled with mirth. The Phoenix felt uncomfortable being stared at, blushing as she said, "Why are you staring at me?" "Phoenix, has anyone ever told you that you’re beautiful?" The Phoenix shook her head, "No, from childhood to adulthood, no one ever told me I was beautiful. They thought I was too cold, like a block of ice, but after meeting you, I became ." Her tone carried a hint of disappointment.

The Phoenix was taken aback for a moment, then a trace of a bitter smile appeared on her lips, which was the first time Su Chen saw such an expression on the Phoenix’s face.
