Capítulo 3: Awakening

Within a room filled with luxurious ornaments and objects, four individuals were surrounding the bed positioned in the center of the room. What lied on the bed was a young man with an above-average appearance yet he carries an invulnerable aura that amplified his attractiveness.

"Doctor, is he fine?"

"Yes, based on his pulse, everything is perfectly fine. Despite him being an ordinary human, I could sense the unusual strength of his pulse which is filled with vitality. As for him being unconscious for a few days was it? I'm clueless about that as well. After all, I can't sense a single thread of disease or some sort of negative force influencing his body…"

"I see…"

The person who asked the white-robed person was the clan head of the Xia Clan, Xia Hongyi. He asked the health status of the young man lying on the bed. It was obvious that he placed some importance on the young man's condition, thus he personally accompanied the doctor they called.

The doctor was named Xiao Yi, and he originates from the Xiao Clan. This clan is the strongest clan within the whole Floating Cloud City, due to them housing the strongest individual within the whole territory, Xiao Lie.

Although, the doctor hails from the strongest clan within the Floating Cloud City, he didn't dared to put on airs before the clan head of Xia Clan. After all, he knew too well how terrifying this man can be.

"Elder Xiao Yi, is he really alright?"

"Aiya, I'm really clueless about his condition. Physically speaking, he's doing too well to the point that it could be called unusual. His body doesn't possess profound veins but his body is almost as strong a cultivator of 1st Stage of the Elementary Profound Realm."

Xia Yuanba looked at the youth lying on the bed, with a trace of concern within his face. Seeing his expression, his big sister, Xia Qingyue shook her head helplessly. She knew that Yuanba is too kind to almost everyone he encounters, that's why she places more attention on her little brother.

"If there's nothing more, I'll take my leave. Excuse me, Xia Lord. Excuse me, heiress and heir."

"Mm. Thank you."

The white-robed doctor, Xiao Yi slightly bowed towards Xia Hongyi, before nodding at the two young people behind the man. He took his leave, as the three individuals looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"I'll take my leave for now, son and Qing'er."

"Wait, I'll accompany you father."

"I'll stay here and watch over him…"

Xia Hongyi and Xia Qingyue looked surprised, as they stared at Xia Yuanba. They noticed that he was hiding something from them, but can only shook their heads and decided to ignore his unusual behavior. They remembered what Xia Yuanba told them yesterday.

It was about the young man lying on the bed, the young man actually opened his eyes in an instant, but in the next second he closed it again. What's more absurd was the innumerable numbers and letters that Yuanba told them about. They didn't believed him, and only thought that it was only his hallucination.

"Okay. We'll be leaving then."

"Bye, Yuanba. I'll fetch you later…"

"Bye, father. I'm fine, big sis."

The father and daughter quietly left the room, as the Xia Yuanba stared at the young man lying on the bed with wariness and serious gaze. He extended his hand, trying to touch the young man's arm, but retreated it back almost instantly. Xia Yuanba changed his mind, as he quietly watched the young man.

…

After they left the room, Xia Hongyi halted his steps and looked at his daughter. Xia Qingyue was sneakily closing the door, as it closed without any creaking sound. The daughter stared at his father with an angry expression, as she emitted a chilling air.

"Father, why did you save that man?"

"Why, not?"

"What 'why not'? You don't even know that person, and you placed him in one of our guest rooms. Furthermore, you personally accompanied the doctor. Do you know that man or something?"

"Qing'er don't sulk, okay? I just felt that saving him would be of our advantage."

"What advantage? Are you talking about your 'merchant instinct' again?"

"Yeah. Something like that…"

After their series of fast question and answer portion, Xia Qingyue dumbfoundedly stared at her own father. The chilling air around her magnified, but her father seemed to not care about it. She humphed her voice, as she stared at her father seriously.

"If that man ever woke up, and did something suspicious. I'll personally eliminate him. Remember that father, hmph."

"Aiya, what can I do about you…"

Xia Hongyi wryly stared at his daughter's back, as he shook his head in helplessness. Xia Qingyue entered the room again and fetched her little brother. The father went back to his own room to take care of the clan matters.

…

Time quickly passed, as more than two days had already gone by. But, the young man lying in one of the Xia Clan's guest room still hasn't wake up from his sleep.

Within the room where that young man currently slept in, the door slowly opened without producing any creaking sound. What emerged from the door was a woman with peerless beauty and unmatched demeanor. She was Xia Qingyue.

She slowly approached the bed, as she stood just before the young man and quietly stared at the latter with wariness and cautiousness.

She looked at the young man, as if the latter would suddenly jump around and attack her in ambush. However, the young man didn't moved and just quietly slept in the bed while producing some sleeping sounds.

"Who in the world are you…?"

Xia Qingyue asked the young man a question, as she unceasingly stared at the young man's above-average face. Her gaze didn't carried any care or love, but only cautiousness.

"I believe my little brother. But there's just no way, for someone who doesn't even possess a profound veins to possess such magical eyes. Why are you also in the impact where the crack appeared in the sky. Just…"

She quietly asked so many questions, as she extended her jade-like hand forward. She touched the young man's arm, as she thought that maybe the latter would react or respond from her touch. However, the moment she touched the young man's arm, various commands ran around the young man's brain.

[Diminished combat capacity, stuck below the tolerable levels.]

[Self-Restoration Sequence, Auto-Start.]

[Loading Magic Sequence.]

[Unnamed constitution has been detected, possibly can aid Quintessence restoration.]

[Psion Transfer, Auto-Start.]

Tatsuya's innate ability, Regrowth, took only 0.001 seconds to run all of that magic sequence. In that instant, the sleeping rarity that slept inside Xia Qingyue throbbed. It was something that would made everyone who knows that's true value, insane.

[Heart of Snow Glazed Glass, possibly can connect to Quintessence Dimension has been detected.]

[Initiating connection, established.]

[Reading and analyzing the Quintessence Dimension, complete.]

[Restoration, now starting.]

[Quintessence has been restored.]

Everything only took 0.01 seconds, as Tatsuya's innate ability was somehow able to establish connection with the Quintessence Dimension. His innate ability finally was able to locate Tatsuya's soul, as it restored it back to its primal state.

Xia Qingyue who touched Tatsuya felt something within her throb, as she quickly retreated her jade-like hand in agitation. She felt something within her wake up for a second, but it quickly slept and hide. She felt confused, as she touched her chest and felt her rapid beating heart.

It was at this moment that she felt a movement within the bed. She immediately jumped back, and took a stance, ready for combat. She seriously stared at the young man lying in the bed.

Tatsuya's immobile eyelids that hadn't moved for the last few days, finally opened. His pure-blue eyes graced the world of its insurmountable presence, as he slowly sat on the bed.

He noticed the peerless beauty from the corner of his eyes, as he emotionlessly moved his gaze at Xia Qingyue. He and the beauty stared at each other, with one being serious while the one being carefree and indifferent…
