Crei had walked into the same space Tria was, and he did not look around much as he was preoccupied with looking for Tria's whereabouts. He walked down the path of the illuminated cave and finally reached the end.
When he arrived he saw the open ice sarcophagus, along with Tria laying flat on the ground with a long silver-haired man slumped over her.
His mind had automatically clicked when he saw the topless man, thinking maybe he was robbing Tria of her lotus, Crei immediately ran towards her and kicked the man off her forcefully.
He then grabbed on to Tria to make sure she was alright, but she was continuously grasping for air as sweat was trickling down her face.
Crei was heartbroken at her state and hugged her lightly, while patting her back.
"It's alright, I am here, husband is here, just breath slowly," reassured Crei. He had already completely forgotten about the man he had kicked and was focusing on his beloved.
Tria had eventually come around and she was pleased and relieved that Crei had come. She really thought that she would have fainted under that man's pressure.
"You're here?" she said weakly.
"Yes wifey, are you alright?"
"Hmm, I am just feeling extremely…weak," she said as she looked around looking for the man. Then she saw him sprawled upside down against a wall, still unconscious.
"Did he do anything to you? Who is he?" asked Crei., following her line of sight.
"You hit him? Argh, I broke his tomb and he fell on me, when I tried to sense his spirit, it drained my energy instead, that's why I am so weak. I am not sure if he's sleeping, but I know he is not dead," explained Tria hoping to clear any assumption Crei might have made.
When Crei heard her explanation, he felt bad for kicking him, but he did not regret it, because the man was on his wife after all. Even he had not gotten that far with her, that was truly too bold for an unconscious man.
He stood up and went towards the man and fixed his body. He checked his pulse and confirmed that the man was alive, but he was confused as to why he was not awake.
Crei left him and went back to tend to the weakened Tria.
"Wifey, do you know what this place is?"
"No, I did not get a chance to look around, I walked all the way over here as if I was being called for," said Tria.
"Hm…I didn't look around either when I got in, but now that I see this... frozen tomb. I believe this is burial chamber, but that man seems to be alive," Crei said.
"A burial chamber? Why would a perfectly alive person be in a tomb?"
"Hmm, I am not sure…"
"I have absorbed some energy, so I feel better, let me take a look at him again," said Tria.
"I do not think you should, the way I see it, I think he is deprived of energy so he took your absorbed energy to replenish himself," assumed Crei.
"If that is indeed the case, then to wake him up, I can use my body as a channel to replenish his spirit," she said at the realization that she could wake him up.
"What if he is not a good person?" asked Crei.
"I haven't gotten that feeling from him, besides, husband you are here, so I feel safe."
Crei smiled from her words.
Tria sat down next to the man and put one of her hands on his bare chest. She started to absorb energy and channeled it towards the man's spirit, she gave him just enough to not drain herself.
She had continued to channel her energy for a full day, and the man still has not awoken, however, his icy complexion felt much warmer.
Tria took a break and came up with a better solution.
"Since the Moon Land's energy is from the Moon, let's take him outside, he and I will directly get the energy from the moon, which will hopefully quicken this process," said Tria.
Crei agreed and helped carry the man and they made their way out of the cave. There was nothing else in there other than the frozen sarcophagus, so there no need to explore further.
Outside of the barrier, Lord Aten and the three Moon Land Protectors saw Tria and Crei come out, along with another person.
"Tria!" Lord Aten called out when he saw her safe and sound.
"Uncle, I am alright," she said as she smiled at him.
"I am glad, I am glad, who is this?" he asked her when he saw the topless man leaning on Crei, with his long silver hair swaying with the wind.
"Uhh, long story but we must go back to the castle, I need somewhere safe to cultivate for a while."
"Hmm, alright."
Lord Aten did not question her any longer, and they all flew towards the castle.
Meanwhile, at a remote location hundreds of miles away from the cave, the couple who were spying on Tria before were kneeling in front of a large throne, with their heads down, almost touching the ground.
"Bunch of useless! You have been working on this for decades, and now you dare tell me someone else went into the cave, and almost all the men we had here are dead?" shouted a loud voice.
It was a large old man sitting on a gold throne, holding onto a stylus. He was wearing a large robe, with gold ornaments all over his body, and from his appearance, he was from the Sun Land.
"Master, they are in there now, we could definitely get them if we go back now with our men," said the man nervously.
"Tch! You think Lord Aten is stupid, those three protectors of his are more monstrous than you think, besides why do you think the emperor has feared him for so long. Give up on that case, I shall go to the Unknown Land to report to the higher-ups," said the large man," and Sabir...exterminate his whole clan."
