Chapter 1581: Chapter 182: 3 Probes into Death
Xuan Yue was washing the towel, feeling deeply melancholic. It had been forty-nine days, and Ah Dai was still in a coma, showing no signs of change. His body was full of vitality, yet he refused to wake up. With a soft sigh, she wrung out the towel and slowly turned around, preparing to continue wiping the body of her beloved man. However, as she turned, she saw a pair of clear eyes filled with complex emotions; these clear eyes were mostly filled with deep affection, along with a hint of surprise, happiness, and shyness. With a thud, the towel in Xuan Yue’s hands fell to the ground, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. After waiting for over forty days, all her feelings of worry, fear, and anticipation erupted at this moment. She dashed to Ah Dai’s side and cried out, "You, you finally woke up! I was so worried. Sob sob."
Ah Dai held Xuan Yue’s soft and warm body, feeling an immense sense of fulfillment. Smelling the fragrance in her hair, he softly said, "Yue Yue, don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m awake now, aren’t I?"
Under Ah Dai’s consolations, Xuan Yue’s excitement gradually calmed down, and she trembled lightly in Ah Dai’s embrace while sobbing. Holding Xuan Yue’s soft body that was full of elasticity, the newly awakened Ah Dai started to have a physiological reaction; a certain part of his body hardened under the constant engorgement, gently pressing against Xuan Yue’s lower belly. Xuan Yue instinctively rose to look down at her abdomen. "Ah—, you, you’re really naughty." Her delicate face instantly blushed a deep red. Ah Dai was greatly embarrassed, hurriedly pulling the nearby quilt over himself, awkwardly saying, "Why am I naked?"
Xuan Yue’s breath was uneven due to her shyness, yet she couldn’t bear to leave Ah Dai and thus sat on the edge of the bed with her back facing him, whispering, "You’ve been unconscious for so many days, your body needed cleaning naturally, and it was most suitable for me to handle these things. I’ve been wiping your entire body once every other day." With his lower body covered, Ah Dai gently stretched his arms around Xuan Yue’s slender waist from behind, pulling her into his embrace. He didn’t speak, merely quietly feeling the warmth emanating from Xuan Yue’s body. Xuan Yue closed her eyes; now that Ah Dai was awake, nothing else mattered to her.
After a long while, Ah Dai whispered, "Yue Yue, where are my clothes? I want to get up and move around, accompany me for a walk outside, okay?"
"Okay." Xuan Yue replied softly, reluctantly leaving Ah Dai’s warm embrace. She took Ah Dai’s clothes from a wooden chair nearby and turned her back, saying, "Put them on."
Ah Dai smiled slightly, saying, "You’ve seen everything already, why still be shy? Yue Yue, I... I want to..."
Xuan Yue lowered her head, the blush on her pretty face spreading all the way to her ears, "No, no way, wait until we’re married, okay? I... I’m a little scared."
Ah Dai paused, saying, "Scared of what? I just wanted to eat some fruit!"
Xuan Yue suddenly turned around, forcefully punching Ah Dai’s shoulder, pouting, "You’re so annoying! You weren’t clear with your words. You, sob..."
Looking at Xuan Yue’s shy and pretty face, Ah Dai could no longer suppress the excitement within him and suddenly embraced her, kissing her soft lips passionately. Xuan Yue struggled lightly, then softened in Ah Dai’s arms. Ah Dai held her tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time. Only when they were almost out of breath did they finally part their lips. Xuan Yue glanced at Ah Dai with misty eyes, whispering, "I’ll go get you some fruit. You should dress quickly." With that, she turned and ran out of the treehouse.
Watching Xuan Yue’s disappearing figure, Ah Dai instantly felt an emptiness in his heart and a sense of loss. He hadn’t yet recovered from the warmth of their previous intimacy. Being with the person he loved most was incredibly blissful, and he wished he could start living such a peaceful life with Yue Yue right now! As he thought about this, he donned the Giant Spirit Snake Armor, the Sword of Hades, and his outer clothes. Sensing the flexibility of the armor, Ah Dai moved his somewhat stiff body, and the circulation of his blood made him feel much more comfortable. Before long, Xuan Yue returned, accompanied by Yan Shi and others. Xuan Yue had encountered them while fetching fruit, and upon hearing that Ah Dai had awakened, everyone rushed to the treehouse.
"Ah Dai, you’re finally awake! We were all worried to death." Yan Li shouted as soon as he entered.
Ah Dai smiled and said, "I’m sorry to have worried everyone. I’m fine now."
The group approached Ah Dai’s side, and Yan Shi said, "Yue Yue mentioned that the Divine Dragon has altered your spiritual essence. Your spiritual power should be even stronger now, right?"
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "I don’t feel anything particularly special—just a stronger connection with the Dragon’s Blood. Other than that, nothing unusual. However, after the second trip to the Death Mountain Range, I can now confirm that the Church of the Dark Saint constituted by the Dark Forces is indeed located in the center of this Death Mountain Range. The Pope’s speculation was entirely correct." With this, he recounted the information he received from Little Skull in his consciousness.
After hearing Ah Dai’s account, Xuan Yue was overjoyed and handed a platter of fruit to Ah Dai, smiling, "Since the mission is complete, we can go back now. We’ll ask Grandpa to deploy the army quickly to completely destroy the Dark Forces." Ah Dai, holding the platter with one hand and taking a red fruit to bite with the other, shook his head, saying, "No, we can’t rush back now."
