Reflections
Wake up

When I opened my eyes, my eyes were blurry. The surrounding situation also felt lonely and gloomy.

When my vision began to normalize, I could not find anyone who could explain to me what was going on. I really hate this atmosphere.

My body feels really weak. To move my fingers, I can't. In addition to the effects of drugs, do not move for some time, it sometimes gives the effect of a kind of paralysis.

'What happened?'

I was so anxious to imagine the worst possible possibilities. I don't know how long I've been unconscious. But no matter how short the time, there is still an impact on what I experience.

Have you lost?

No—it's not like I don't trust my knights. Sometimes we just have to look at the capacity we have. That's how realistic it is. Moreover, my kingdom has indeed lost a lot of troops.

Why is it like this?

They paralyzed me— so embarrassing!

Where is your pride, Constantine Yang?

Why are you so weak?

Where is your strong figure?

I blinked my two nerves that were heating up. I wanted to cry and let go of all the burdens on my chest. It's heavy—eruh!

Damnit damnit! Why is it so hard to move my body?

"Constantine ...!"

I felt like I heard that vowel. Sounds familiar. But given that figure, it felt impossible. Didn't she have—

"Constantine ..., you forget me? It's me, Chen Li!"

Eh—apa?! Say it again!

Chen Li's?! Isn't Chen Li gone? Is this illusion magic? Or maybe I was just dreaming.

"Hey, listen—can you talk? Try the letter A. Elongate ...! Or any other letter is up to you" he said.

No. gabe. I'm not dreaming. This annoying voice and his annoying manner this— feels very real!

"K—kauma—sih hi—dup?" my question, with a choked esophagus.

"You drinking? Definitely thirsty. You've been unconscious for five days. Lucky you were a cultivator—if not, you'd have died on the second day of dehydration and lack of nutrients" he said. "It's a shame I can't help. I'm already a spirit now" he continued.

Waitaminute! If he's already a spirit, then why is he still here? Shouldn't he have gone to a faraway realm? What burden does he have, to keep his soul here?

"Effort to move your body. After that, recover your energy for a while. I'll tell you everything if you're a little better."

I don't know what to say. Although only his voice could be felt, there was a slight sense of calm and pleasure in my conscience, as there was a figure who could explain to me.

"Take a deep breath. Eject. Give positive suggestions in your brain. It is the systems in the brain that control the nerves in our body. At least, that's what I know," Chen Li said.

Stiffly, I tried to pull both corners of my lips. I close my eyes, and I do what he says.

With effort, I can move my head. When I turned my head, I could finally see the figure of my colleague. He sat looking at me with that particular annoying haughty face. However, looking at his form that became translucent, I felt strange.

"Nobody's here but you. They're about a mile from here."

I just cleared my throat hearing that. Slowly, I thrust both my hands up. Then, I glanced at the left side of my body, where there was a glass there.

"They prepared it for you, because they thought you'd realize when they weren't around. Drink that. Be careful and do not choke. I'm not responsible if you follow me later because of that. But it's ridiculous that a strong woman like you would have to die that way. It's not very elegant."

I ignored most of his words. Carefully, I grabbed the glass, and drank it. Some of the water is spilled, but at least, I feel better now.

I sat my body which felt very sore. Stiffly, I started to stretch a little. The two netraku looked at Chen Li deeply.

"Tell me!" i said, briefly.

"Don't it hurt if the girl I love replies to my long words, with just a word that's even a word of command?"

"Grove! Does dying make someone this noisy?"

I look at him with a puff. Want to stand up, but not stand up. In the end, I decided to crawl to grab the two-meter-long water barrel.

"I love seeing you like that. You'll be cute and cute like a baby if you crawl like that" she said, laughing. I growled, then looked at him sharply.

"Tell me! Don't say a lot of nonsense at inappropriate times" I said. "Say it briefly, concisely, and clearly! We don't have much time."

"All right ...! But don't be surprised by what I tell you before you realize the effects of the dope."

Again, I just move my head vertically—up and down.
