"Uhhm...I...Brother...Shin...What happened..." Ai asked as she finally woke up after resting for a few hours, just in time as the sun began to rise.
The little king and Shin didn't even hear what she was asking as they were too happy to see her wake up perfectly fine without any discomfort.
They could see that some color had returned to her body, her hair no longer had any specks of white hair, and her face no longer had any traces of lost vitality. She seemed healthy and rosy as a rose.
"Ai, you are feeling okay, right?" Shin asked in a worried tone as he held her hand.
Ai rubbed her head as she said with a soft smile, "I never felt better...I no longer feel any kind of pain or heaviness in my body. My ethereal cores...there is only one!" Ai didn't forget to examine her own body and was astonished to see that she only had a single ethereal core, just like every other normal cultivator out there.
