Chapter 724: Return to Home!

Zhao Tian's gaze lingered on Ji Shuang and his mind is still sluggish from the toll his body had endured.

He saw the weariness on her face and the slight redness in her eyes.

His fingers twitched slightly, and with effort, he tried to move.

The pain that flared through his body is dull.. but it is still there.

He could feel the deep scars that ran across his chest, the remnants of his body being pushed far beyond its limits.

Slowly, he adjusted himself, shifting his weight against the pillows.

Ji Shuang immediately noticed and her hand tightened slightly around his hand in concern.

"Tian, don't push yourself..."

Still, he forced himself upright and groaned softly as he pressed his palms against the bed.

Ji Shuang moved closer, carefully supporting him as he sat up fully.

His breathing was uneven, and for a moment, the world spun around him, forcing him to close his eyes and steady himself.

When he finally opened them again, his gaze fell onto his own hands.

They were shaking.

Looking at him, Ji Shuang spoke "You burned yourself out," reaching for his arm. "Your life force… you used too much."

Zhao Tian exhaled and leaned back against the pillows as his eyes darkened.

He remembers it all... the torment he endured in the citadel, the death of Yao Jing and him destroying the entire Vampiric Star.

His last memory was the space itself collapsing around him before everything had gone dark.

His fingers twitched again, and his gaze lowered as he spoke in a rough voice "How long?"

"Four days since you were kidnapped to the Vampiric Star... and a day since the star was destroyed." Ji Shuang answered.

She hesitated for a moment before adding, "I thought you wouldn't wake up."

He closed his eyes for a brief second, letting that sink in.

Its been four days?

His gaze trembled for a second as he closed his eyes "Jing'er... I couldn't save her."

Hearing this, Ji Shuang's gaze lowered and she held his hand, giving him support "Don't blame yourself for it..."

Zhao Tian shook his head "No, it was because of me... my physique. They kidnapped us for my physique and blood."

Ji Shuang stayed silent, as she didn't know how to give him comforting words.
