*Huff* *huff* Xia Shenyi's chest heaved as she struggled to draw in each painful breath, the heavy darkness of the space pressing down on her like a suffocating weight.
Zhao Tian quickly crouched beside her "Shenyi."
Xia Shenyi raised her gaze and took a deep breath "Haah, I am alright," she muttered and Zhao Tian took hold of her shoulder, helping her stand up.
*thud* Zhao Tian turned his eyes and saw Shi Yixian kneeling in front of him, placing the sword in front of her.
"My Liege, I made a huge blunder today. I have raised my blade against My Liege, whom I should protect and respect. I will accept whatever punishment you inflict upon me."
Zhao Tian shook her head. "I will give the punishment later; now stand up."
Obeying him, Shi Yixian gave a nod and stood up. She then glanced at Ling Huang, who was lying beside her.
She gently bent down and took her body in her arms.
