Bei Yutang looked at the little guy with tenderness. The night breeze was cool, so she gently picked up the little guy and put him on the bed, covering him with a quilt.
Having slept for so long, Bei Yutang didn’t feel sleepy, her mind preoccupied with him.
She wondered what would happen to him after she left.
She worried, yet she had no way of knowing anything about him.
She wondered if he would still be there in the next mission world.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in a mysterious ancient building nestled among thousands of mountains, a middle-aged man led a doctor in flowing white clothes toward the forbidden area.
When they arrived in front of the courtyard, they heard the voices of the guards.
“Greetings, Young Master.”
The middle-aged man hurried over upon hearing the voices and saw Feng Lihen exit the house.
“Young Master.” The middle-aged man stepped forward.
Feng Lihen glanced at the man in white beside him. The man had a handsome face and exuded a faint smell of medicine.
The middle-aged man introduced, “Young Master, this is the Divine Doctor’s most admired disciple, Xue Qian.”
Divine Doctor Xue was out, so he had to call upon his disciple to treat the Young Master.
This time, the Young Master had slept for a long time, and his condition was clearly worsening.
Feng Lihen waved his hand, signaling them to withdraw.
The middle-aged steward frowned, “Young Master, let’s let Divine Doctor Xue take a look at you.”
Although Xue Qian wasn’t a Divine Doctor, he had inherited his medical skills from the Divine Doctor.
“No need.”
Feng Lihen knew his body well. His congenital ailment, aside from a few days of deep sleep, didn’t cause any other pain. Just like this time, he’d slept for quite a while, yet his body remained unchanged.
The steward was about to persuade him when he heard Xue Qian’s calm voice: “Young Master Feng doesn’t look like someone with a serious illness. Since Young Master Feng doesn’t want to, Steward, please don’t force it.”
Seeing both men agree, the steward gave up his insistence.
“Divine Doctor Xue, this way.”
The steward led Xue Qian away.
After they left, Feng Lihen entered the study. He spread out the rice paper, picked up a brush, and began to paint on the white paper. This time, he painted a woman’s profile. The profile was blurry, but one could still see that she was a beauty, especially her eyes, which were particularly expressive.
Feng Lihen hung the painting next to the back figure, his eyes flickering back and forth between the two.
He knew that they were the same person.
Feng Lihen had a vague feeling that each of his deep sleeps was connected to that mysterious woman. This time, after such a long sleep, he had recalled that hazy profile.
His hand gently stroked the portrait, murmuring, “I’ll find you soon.”

Baiyun Town—
At dawn, Xiao Zimo suddenly sat up, hurriedly jumped out of bed, and headed for the next room. He opened the door, but didn’t see his mother inside. He hurried to the kitchen.
Bei Yutang was startled by the sudden appearance of Xiao Zimo. Noticing that he was only wearing a single layer of clothing, her face was filled with worry.
When he saw her, the worry and fear on his face disappeared.
Xiao Zimo saw his mother standing in front of him. The memory of yesterday came back to him, clearly confirming that it was not an illusion, which made him feel much more at ease.
“Go and put on your clothes.” Bei Yutang ordered.
Xiao Zimo happily replied, “Yes.”
Bei Yutang watched his leaving back, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her lips.
Alas, it seemed she had truly frightened him this time.
