Lin Jun regained consciousness the following day. He could feel pain going through his body. From head to toe, no place was free of pain. Fighting against the three-night creature by himself was a stupid risk but it had to be done. He now wanted to see if his risk had paid off. Before he could open his eyes, he felt a wet cloth passing over his body. He immediately stopped himself from opening his eyes. He could also feel soft hands moving all over his body. The empress was cleaning his wounds. This was a good sign. It showed that he had at least cracked the woman's heart open even if just by a little. A crack is all that was needed for Lin Jun to completely invade her heart.
He had risked his life to show her how serious he was about her. This also showed her that his feelings for her were genuine.
