The moment she entered her space, Chi Wan discovered that the vines wrapped around them were rapidly withering away.
But this was different from the withering before. It looked as if the emerald-green vines were transferring their own Life Force to the grayish-black vines on Li Xingye.
As the vines withered, the grayish-black ones that had nearly reached Li Xingye's neck finally began to recede.
Chi Wan finally let out a sigh of relief, but the fear she had been suppressing now washed over her.
"You big idiot, why didn't you tell me? You could have told me from the start. What would you have done if I hadn't come?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke up. Tears streamed down her face, only to be gently caught by a slender, newborn vine.
Chi Wan didn't notice. She was just filled with retrospective dread.
