Shijie slumped down on the ground limply in Ruyan's arms, groaning and wailing painfully, his body twitching and spasming as the qi reined rampant inside his body, being rejected by his spirit root and his meridians.
Ruyan who was sobbing terribly controlled herself as her loud sobs turned into muffled whimpers. Holding Shijie in her arms, she could feel his body growing cold.
She didn't know what she was supposed to do. She felt helpless and her heart tore seeing Shijie in this condition, she couldn't understand what had happened suddenly out of nowhere and her mind was palpated with fear and despair.
Shijie's condition meanwhile got more worse as his breathing turned milder, Shijie's voice got stuck in his throat and he closed his eyes slowly, not even having the strength to make a sound.
At this moment, a large commotion sounded from outside as a flurry of footsteps echoed in the hallway.
