This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 807 - 648: Awakening

"Ugh..."
The profound darkness clouded his eyes, and ever since Liang Yi regained consciousness, he felt his throat was somewhat dry. He instinctively tried to lift his arm but failed, as his mind was still a bit muddled.
"Senior Brother? You're awake?"
A familiar and reassuring voice echoed in his ears, and even with his eyes closed, Liang Yi could imagine the delighted expression on his junior sister's face.
Su Youyi extended her left hand, slowly helping her senior brother up from the bed. As she carefully sat by the bedside, allowing his head to rest on her shoulder, she gently pressed a cup of water against his lips with her right hand.
The cold liquid gently brushed over Liang Yi's lips, and following his body's instincts, he gulped down the clear water in just a few sips, his entire being rejuvenated by the act.
It was as if a person exhausted from fatigue had slept deeply, awaking with renewed strength.
Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a familiar face, so close to him, now blooming with a smile, looking at him with joy.
Liang Yi supported his body, leaving his junior sister's embrace, and took the opportunity to check his own condition.
It seemed as if he had been treated during his coma, not only was everything fine, but he seemed to be at his peak.
"How long has it been?"
Liang Yi turned his head and asked suddenly, seeing his junior sister staring at him intently.
"Three days..."
Su Youyi thought her senior brother was asking about how long he had been unconscious, so she answered instinctively.
"Sigh!"
Liang Yi rubbed his wrist, which was a little stiff from sleeping for three days, and sighed helplessly.
"Are you still uncomfortable anywhere?"
Seeing him like this, Su Youyi thought his previous injuries hadn't fully healed, and asked anxiously.
While asking, Su Youyi put down the cup in her hand, intending to check his current physical state.
Although Ji Ningqiao from Medicine Valley had already evaluated that her senior brother was fine and just needed to wait quietly for him to wake, his current expression made her worry that something might still be wrong.
But unexpectedly, just as her hand moved, her senior brother's swift as lightning hand grasped her wrist.
A strong force came from his grip, and before Su Youyi realized, she found herself lying in her senior brother's spot on the bed, with him standing by the side.
"You've got dark circles under your eyes; I'll take watch, you rest for a bit."
Liang Yi pulled over a chair and sat down, gently pressing the rising Su Youyi back down.
"Eh, eh?"
Su Youyi touched her eyes in a bit of a panic. Did she really have dark circles?
"Haha, I'm teasing you. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
Liang Yi chuckled, flicking Su Youyi's forehead lightly, looking at her tenderly with a promise in his eyes.
The dark circles were a casual fabrication; with her current realm, she wouldn't appear any different even after months without rest.
But while there were no external changes, her eyes, filled with fatigue from excessive worry, couldn't hide the truth, especially from him.
This silly girl had likely been by his side for all three days.
"Senior Brother, I..."
Su Youyi wanted to say she was fine, but under her senior brother's tender yet firm gaze, words failed her. She shyly pulled the blanket up, covering her reddened cheeks, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Perhaps it was the residual warmth and scent of her senior brother beneath the sheets, or maybe it was the relief after seeing him awake, but at least at this moment, Su Youyi felt a genuine wave of drowsiness wash over her.
"Then I'll rest for a bit, thanks to you, Senior Brother."
Since her senior brother insisted, Su Youyi no longer refused. As she responded softly, her right hand tentatively reached out from beneath the blanket.
Liang Yi smiled wryly, grasping her hand with understanding.
Su Youyi closed her eyes, enveloped in a long-missed sense of peace; she couldn't recall the last time she slept so soundly.
Listening to his junior sister's breathing gradually become steady, Liang Yi held her right hand, quietly watching her serene, sleeping face.
Unlike her usual playful and obedient demeanor in front of him, or the aloofness she showed others, or even her resolute and fierce expression when facing enemies with a sword, at this moment, Su Youyi's face appeared so peaceful, with a hint of baby fat if examined closely?
Looking at his sleeping beauty of a junior sister, Liang Yi unconsciously smiled.
The sleeping junior sister felt a long-lost peace, and waking to see her was a comfort longed for him.
Though his junior sister was beautiful, and he could never tire of looking at her no matter how many hundreds or thousands of years passed, there were matters needing attention.
Upon awakening, he realized immediately where they were—the familiar room, the familiar setting—only one place could truly allow him and his junior sister to feel at ease.
Taoist Sect, Youdao Mountain!
Despite being away for a long time, nothing here had changed since they last left.
"Ah... It's quite nostalgic."
Liang Yi exhaled, whispering to himself.
After conversing with Lord Ju, he understood that the versions of Liang Yi existing in both worlds were incomplete, and now that the two had merged, he was truly Liang Yi.
