Chapter 229 Promotion
When Sang Qing woke up, it was already five days later.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a head lying next to me.

His black, tousled hair cast a beautiful shadow on his forehead, and his slightly turned eyelids showed a few dark circles. Even in his sleep, he held her hand.

Sang Qing couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, but when she raised her other hand, she realized there was something in her hand.

It is a transparent stone the size of a goose egg.

Upon seeing the cherry blossom-shaped symbol on the stone, Sang Qing recognized it.

I gently turned it in my hand, and its shape and feel were exactly the same as I remembered; it was the white crystal in Joey's hand.

Sang Qing also thought of the source of the soothing energy she always felt in her dreams.

Perhaps because the white crystal was very valuable, Qiao Luoyi wanted to use it to obtain greater benefits, so he did not absorb it himself after obtaining it, and the energy inside the white crystal was still very abundant.

Now that it has absorbed all its energy, it has become transparent ice.

The original owner's father obtained this crystal by chance, but he did not know that it was white crystal. He only thought it was a pebble that felt nice to the touch, and often held it in his hand and played with it together with another black pebble.

Males cannot directly absorb the energy from the white crystal, so no abnormalities were ever detected.

Not long after being brought to the capital as one of the original owner's few belongings, it fell into the hands of Qiao Luoyi.

But how did you get Shi Ying?
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Manju appeared in the doorway, holding a transparent tray in her hands.

Seeing that Sang Qing had woken up, Manzhu paused for a moment, then smiled enchantingly, "Little female, you've finally decided to wake up?"

Shi Ying also woke up because of the noise.

Looking up and seeing that Sang Qing was awake, her eyes instantly lit up. "Awan, you're awake?"

Sang Qing gave a soft "hmm" and moved her body, trying to get up.

"I come."

Shi Ying immediately got up and helped her rock the bed.

Manju placed the tray she was carrying on a nearby cabinet.

On the tray were two cups of water, two vials of nutrient solution, and a plate of cut fruit.

"Would you like some water?" Manju handed her a glass of water. "You've been asleep for five days."

Sang Qing took the water glass and moistened her lips.

Five days? Is that a long time?
What's going on with Manju's mental sea this time?

Sang Qing looked Man Zhu up and down. She stood tall and graceful with her purple hair flowing down her back, and seemed to be in pretty good shape.

Her injuries seemed to have almost healed, and her pupils had returned to their normal color, making her look as beautiful as a genuine artifact in a museum.

Are your eyes alright?

Sang Qing, recalling the scene of blood flowing from Man Zhu's eyes, asked.

Manju reached up and touched the corner of her eye, chuckling, "It's nothing, just overuse of my powers."

Sure enough, those strange beasts were all killed by Manju.

Even strange beasts can be affected; Manju's supernatural power is truly formidable.

It's just too dangerous.

"Try to use them less in the future, they're kind of scary. It would be such a waste to lose such beautiful eyes," Sang Qing casually advised.

Manzhu lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes flashing with an emotion that Manzhu couldn't understand.

"I will not do it again."

Manzhu's behavior has always been unpredictable, and Sang Qing had no desire to investigate further. Instead, she inquired about something else: "Where is Bai Xiao?"

"He was seriously injured, but he's fine now, and his mental state is relatively stable." Manzhu's words were concise and to the point, immediately hitting the nail on the head regarding Sang Qing's concerns.

The two chatted for a while.

Shi Ying, who had been ignored, saw that Sang Qing had woken up and was concerned about Man Zhu first, even praising Man Zhu's beautiful eyes, and her face darkened.

Sang Qing noticed this naturally, smiled, and said to Man Zhu, "I want to rest for a bit, you can go out first."

Manzhu glanced at Shi Ying's cold expression, smiled knowingly, and tactfully withdrew.

Only Sang Qing and Shi Ying remained in the room.

Shi Ying was still standing by the bed, her jaw clenched, silent. "Shi Ying."

Sang Qing reached out and looked at him.

Shi Ying paused for half a second, then sat back down on the edge of the bed and leaned her head against it.

Sang Qing smiled and gently ruffled Shi Ying's hair.

Shi Ying's gloom instantly dissipated, and she gently hugged Sang Qing: "Awan, are you alright?"

Shi Ying's voice was low, filled with deep worry and relief at surviving the ordeal.

"It's nothing." Sang Qing shook her head in Shi Ying's arms.

She patted Shi Ying on the shoulder, and then Shi Ying let go of her.

Sang Qing grasped Shi Ying's hand, "I think I've advanced."

Shi Ying froze, staring at Sang Qing, unable to react.

It's not that I doubt the truthfulness of Sang Qing's words.

It was simply too shocking.

Awan not only didn't drop in rank, but she actually advanced.

What's above the S-class?
SS level!
That's a level that females can hardly reach.

Females are generally of a lower rank than males; S-rank healers are already top-tier.

Although advanced healers hold a high status, females are capable of healing high-level males from lower levels, and mate relationships can break through level barriers, so few females would go through the trouble of trying to improve their level.

The former empress reached SS-level at the age of 75, making her the only SS-level empress on the entire planet Beiyun.

The current empress is only S-rank.

21-year-old SS-class.

If this news gets out, I wonder how much of a stir it will cause.

It's unknown how many forces will covet and fight over it.

“Ah Wan…” Shi Ying’s tone was very complicated.

A feeling of inferiority suddenly arose in my heart.

How outstanding must one be to be worthy of Awan?

It seems that no matter how outstanding you are, it's not enough.

He wasn't even sure if he could protect her.

Sang Qing blinked and saw that Shi Ying's expression was solemn and she didn't continue speaking. Even her eyes were filled with worry again.

She assumed he didn't believe he had advanced and was worried that she might have some kind of mental problem.

Whether she believed him or not didn't matter, since she didn't plan to tell anyone anyway. She just wanted to tell Shi Ying, who had been worried about her for so long, so that he could rest assured. But it backfired.

"I'm really fine, you can see for yourself."

Sang Qing took Shi Ying's hand and pressed her forehead against Shi Ying's.

It guided Shi Ying's spiritual threads into his own spiritual sea.

This is what she discovered after she advanced.

Previously, her mental sea had absorbed too much pollution, turning the entire mental sea black, like seawater with a large amount of nuclear contamination.

Even her S-level mental strength seemed so insignificant; she had to repair her mental barrier while slowly purifying and absorbing the pollution.

If it weren't for Bai Jing, she doesn't know how long it would have taken her to absorb the energy before waking up.

After absorbing all that pollution, her spiritual sea was also sublimated, expanding considerably compared to before.

She had only recently been promoted to S-rank, and it seemed like it would be a long time before she could be promoted to SS-rank.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a lucky accident.

However, this process was extremely painful, like being forcibly fed energy that she couldn't digest at all, almost bursting her mental sea. The violent pollutants repeatedly shattered her mental barrier, and her meager mental strength repaired and absorbed it again and again.

The pain was so intense it felt like her soul was about to tremble; just thinking about it made her limbs feel a slight spasm.
