As Bai Li Hongzhuang's voice fell, everyone's gaze froze on her.
"Have you figured it out?" the crowd asked in unison.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly, a confident and determined smile on her lips. "Once we take this detoxification pill, we will be able to pass through this miasma."
Joyful expressions appeared in the eyes of the crowd. The miasma was their biggest problem, and if they could overcome it without fear, completing the mission would be much easier.
"Liu Huaiyan is right, you should rest for now, and we can discuss it again tomorrow," Lu Huaiyan expressed his concern.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's intense research had taken a toll on her mental strength, and she needed proper rest to replenish it.
"Lu Huaiyan is right. You should rest for now," Fu Hongbo also spoke up.
He understood Bai Li Hongzhuang's current condition very well. It was purely driven by excitement. Once that momentum passed, she would be exhausted.
Xia Zhiqing and the others echoed their concerns. They were also worried about Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Seeing the concern in everyone's eyes, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt a warmth in her heart and smiled immediately. "Okay."
Once she relaxed, Bai Li Hongzhuang realized how tired she truly was. She felt a hollow headache in her mind, a clear sign of mental exhaustion.
Bai Li Hongzhuang leaned against a tree, preparing to rest. Just then, Emperor Beichen fed her a pill.
She turned her head, looking at Emperor Beichen in surprise, silently inquiring.
"Your mental exhaustion is severe. You worked so hard to develop the detoxification pill so that you can enter the miasma tomorrow. If you don't recover your mental strength properly, how can you go in the best state?" Emperor Beichen's voice was gentle, filled with affection and concern.
In the past two days and nights, he had watched Bai Li Hongzhuang work so hard, and he was deeply concerned for her.
However, he understood Bai Li Hongzhuang's obsession with developing the detoxification pill, so he couldn't stop her. His responsibility now was to take good care of her.
Bai Li Hongzhuang stared at Emperor Beichen, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
The pill melted in her mouth, replenishing her depleted mental strength with abundant energy. Her previously exhausted posture became somewhat comfortable under the replenishment of this energy.
Emperor Beichen reached out and embraced Bai Li Hongzhuang's head on his shoulder. "Rest well."
Bai Li Hongzhuang's body stiffened for a moment but relaxed upon hearing Emperor Beichen's words, eventually leaning on his shoulder and falling into a deep sleep.
Not far away, Dongfang Yu watched this scene and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Earlier, when he saw Bai Li Hongzhuang's attitude towards Emperor Beichen, it didn't seem like the usual behavior of a wife towards her husband. In his heart, he still held a glimmer of hope.
But now, it seemed that this glimmer of hope was completely shattered.
Little Black, Little White, and Bai Shī's eyes were filled with excited light. It seemed that their owner and Emperor Beichen were growing closer and closer...
Emperor Beichen gazed at Bai Li Hongzhuang's profile, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his lips. His deep eyes couldn't hide the overflowing tenderness.
He had fallen from the Divine Altar for three years, thinking it would be a lifelong shame. But unexpectedly, it was because of this that he met Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Compared to that, he felt that the hardships of these three years were worth it.
Because he had found the most important person to him.
