My carefree life in space

Chapter 293 Falling into a Deep Sleep

As the protective shield dissipated, the force that isolated the inside from the outside also disappeared.

The moment the protective shield was removed, Lin Shushu seemed to lose her last bit of support. Her body could no longer hold on, and she slowly leaned forward, eventually fainting.

It turned out that she had exhausted all her spiritual power in order to fight against the demon god's primordial demonic energy. Every bit of spiritual power she mobilized felt like it was draining her life force.

With unwavering willpower, she temporarily sealed the evil demonic energy within her body. However, this placed a tremendous burden on her body, pushing it to its limit the moment she trapped the demonic energy.

"Shushu!" Mo Ze shouted, crawling forward recklessly.

Xiao Jingping knew how he felt, and without thinking, he picked him up and ran towards where Lin Shushu was.

Arriving at the spot where Lin Shushu had collapsed, Mo Ze held her tightly in his arms, as if afraid she would disappear. He gently stroked Lin Shushu's face, feeling her faint breath, his heart aching with both heartache and relief.

Venerable Lingyun and the others rushed over. Looking at the unconscious Lin Shushu, their faces showed worry. They had clearly witnessed the danger that had just occurred.

After carefully examining Lin Shushu's condition, Venerable Lingyun's worried expression eased slightly. "She has only exhausted her spiritual energy and temporarily sealed her demonic energy. She is not in any danger and just needs to rest now..."

What he didn't say was that although there was no immediate danger to his life, the hidden danger would remain as long as the demonic energy in his body was not eliminated. One day, once the demonic energy broke through the seal, it would be another life-or-death battle.

After hearing Venerable Lingyun's words, everyone's worries were slightly relieved, and joy rose in their hearts.

Now that the demon god has been eliminated, the terrifying shadow that once shrouded the continent has finally dissipated.

The demon race's high-ranking members also met their demise in that thrilling battle. Some were slain by the combined efforts of righteous cultivators, while others had their power drained by the demon god and were then swallowed up by the aftershocks of the battle, their lives extinguished.

In short, this battle was a resounding victory. The joy in everyone's eyes was hard to conceal, like the first ray of sunshine after the gloom had dissipated, illuminating everyone's faces.

Xiao Jingping's face showed a long-lost relaxed smile. He tilted his head back slightly, took a deep breath, as if to expel all the depression and fatigue of the past few days.

"We have finally won this battle," he said softly, a hint of emotion in his voice.

Venerable Lingyun nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face. He looked at the righteous cultivators around him, his heart filled with pride.

"All of this is the result of everyone's joint efforts." His voice was steady and powerful. "Now that the Demon God has been eliminated and the Demon Race has been severely damaged, the continent can finally usher in peace."

The other righteous cultivators cheered, their faces beaming with the joy of victory. They had paid a heavy price in this battle; countless comrades had fallen on the battlefield. This victory was won with their blood and lives.

Amidst this joyous atmosphere, everyone remembered Lin Shushu's contribution. Had she not stepped forward at the crucial moment and engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the demon god, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

"Once young friend Lin wakes up, we must thank her properly," said an elderly cultivator, his eyes filled with gratitude.

“That’s right, young friend Lin is the benefactor of our entire continent,” another cultivator chimed in.

Everyone nodded, their hearts filled with gratitude and respect for Lin Shushu.

Given that Lin Shushu and Mo Ze are both currently unable to move around easily, Venerable Lingyun decided to have Xiao Jingping escort them back to Fulian City to recuperate, while he would stay behind to deal with matters concerning the Dark Abyss.

After returning to Fulian City, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were placed in a separate courtyard. Xiao Jingping wanted to stay and take care of them, but Mo Ze refused.

"Brother Mo, are you sure you don't need me to stay and help? Or should I arrange for a few maids to come over?" Xiao Jingping was a little worried. Both of them were seriously injured, and they couldn't manage without anyone by their side.

"Thank you for your kindness. Neither Shushu nor I like having anyone around. Don't worry, I'm much better now and I can take good care of Shushu."

Mo Ze refused Xiao Jingping's offer again. Shu Shu's situation was not something an ordinary person could handle. His current hope was to create some space for Shu Shu, and this could not be known to outsiders.

"Alright, then please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything. I'll be there whenever you need me." Xiao Jingping left with these words, looking somewhat worried.

After he left, the room fell silent. Mo Ze sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lin Shushu's hand tightly. Her hands were a little cold and trembling slightly.

At this moment, Mo Ze felt that Shu Shu was really by his side. The dangerous scenes from the previous battle kept flashing through his mind, and those moments when she was in danger made him feel lingering fear.

"Shushu, do you know? When I saw you being attacked by the demon god, my heart was breaking." Mo Ze murmured softly, his voice full of heartache and lingering fear.

His thumb gently stroked the back of Lin Shushu's hand as he gazed lovingly at her sleeping face, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. He felt both proud and heartbroken. "Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise what would I have done?"

Mo Ze stood quietly by Lin Shushu's side, watching her without moving. However, his own condition was not much better. He had also been seriously injured in the previous battle, and his physical strength and energy had been greatly depleted.

So after half a day, he couldn't hold on any longer. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and his body gradually lost its strength.

He gently lay down on the bed and carefully embraced Lin Shushu, as if holding an invaluable treasure. Feeling her body temperature and listening to her steady breathing, Mo Ze's unease eased slightly, and then he held Lin Shushu and fell asleep together.

Although Lin Shushu was currently asleep, her consciousness was unusually active. The surrounding area was filled with flashing light, and the scene was constantly changing.

Just then, the phantom of Emperor Xu slowly appeared, radiating a soft yet majestic light. Lin Shushu stared wide-eyed at this sight, her eyes filled with shock and awe.

"Girl, you did very well. You did not disappoint me." Di Xu's voice was calm and gentle, as if it carried a reassuring power.

Lin Shushu dared not take credit for it; she knew that she was able to defeat the demon god because of the power of Emperor Xu and the people of the divine race.

She hurriedly and respectfully said, "This junior dares not accept such praise. It is all thanks to you, senior. If it weren't for you sealing the power within the Yuan Pearl and lending me a helping hand at the crucial moment, I would not have been able to defeat the Demon God at all."

Emperor Xu nodded slightly, a relieved smile on his face. "Now that the hidden danger has been eliminated, I can finally rest easy. This is my last appearance. Before I leave, let me lend you one last helping hand!"

Lin Shushu was still immersed in the sadness of his words "the last time I appeared," and she was somewhat puzzled when she heard what he said next.

Emperor Xu said no more. With a wave of his hand, a force shot straight towards the demonic energy within Lin Shushu's body. The force was gentle yet contained boundless majesty, like the warm sun in spring, carrying the power to dispel darkness.

Lin Shushu felt a warm current flow through her body. The demonic energy she had sealed inside her was like snow meeting the blazing sun. The originally stubborn and cold demonic energy instantly lost its ability to resist under the impact of this warm current.

The demonic energy began to dissipate rapidly, and the meridians that had been eroded by the demonic energy gradually regained their vitality under the nourishment of this warm current.
