"Ha!"
Xinyue's eyes shot open. Her body shot up and her mana mobilized as she spread her awareness and scanned her surroundings.
The confusion set in first.
Hadn't she just died?
The sensation of encroaching death was still fresh in her mind, and though the pain of being crushed only lasted for an instant, with Xinyue's perception, she was able to feel every spark of it clearly.
Her body shuddered involuntarily before she forcibly stopped it and righted her posture.
Her senses slowly acclimated to her new surroundings, and she slowly accepted the fact that she was still alive.
'Alexandra is not here.'
The spirit woman who'd been with her all this time wasn't present in the small room with her. Other than the bed she was currently standing on and a small table on the side, there was only a door leading further into whatever structure she was currently in.
'My awareness cannot pierce this door.' Xinyue realized with a frown.
