9 Someone Call Home

By the time Xueyu was woken, her scalps had already fallen off and new skins had begun to grow...

Xueyu didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She does know that her survival was not a coincidence, she knows that her master was the sole reason why she had survived this catastrophe.

She felt touched, it's not easy to treat Nirvana Fire's wounds… her master must have spent all his treasures on her…

"Eat more child, you need to get stronger."

His voice was didn't falter or betrayed him but she was always more perceptive than he gave her credits for.

She knew he was worn out,... and she was right.

Zhou Yun silver hair had become duller, there were two eyebags plastered onto his face. The stark contrast between the sick paleness of his face and dark round spots of the eye bags was obvious. His body lack in qi and soul energy…

To say Zhou Yun was tired was a weak statement. He was completely burned out. He had been sending his qi and soul energy to Xueyu ever since he found her. Her conditions needed to be stable for him to heal, with almost no external support, Zhou Yun had managed to do both at the same time. His cultivation had received backlashes in exchange.

Zhou Yun didn't think much of his cultivation when he was treating Xueyu though. He actually didn't think at all. All he knew in his mind was, he needed to save this child…

She was his everything.

In the desolated Boundless Depth Valley, there was only he and Xueyu. If there was even one missing, it would not be home. This thought had unknowingly settled deeply into the master-disciple duo's mindset. They were each other's family as well as 'home'.

Zhou Yun didn't really think of it like that before, so when the thought hit him, he felt a bit happy. It was nice to have someone you can come back to and called home…

Zhou Yun had a hard time recalling having someone like that in his life before.
