Seeing Mo Chen in this state, Shen Yao’s heart clenched. Even with the most severe injuries he had suffered, he had never appeared so weak.
If she couldn’t still faintly sense his weak life force, she would have thought this was a dead snake.
Shen Yao reached out, took the box from Shen Ge’s hand, and held it, examining it closely.
After a thorough inspection, Shen Yao had a basic understanding of Mo Xuan’s condition.
Due to depleted spiritual energy, he was in a weakened state, no different from an ordinary snake at this moment.
Shen Yao sent her divine sense into her spatial dimension to check its condition. The space was no longer the energy-rich state it once was.
The spiritual herbs that were once full of vitality were now withered and lying on the ground, with many having already dried up.
It was clearly the consequence of her overusing her spiritual energy. Looking at this devastation, Shen Yao felt as if she was witnessing the current state of the cultivation world.
Fortunately, the spiritual spring water had not completely dried up, although it had shrunk from its original small pond to a mere puddle.
A truly small puddle, about the size of a washbasin, and only a shallow layer, like a bowl of water poured onto the ground.
Shen Yao: …
Honestly, if she didn’t know that this spiritual spring water would not be depleted, she would have been reluctant to use even this small amount.
Judging by the current situation, it would be impossible for the space to return to its former appearance without at least ten to twenty years.
Shen Yao silently took a small bottle of spiritual spring water from her spatial dimension, then opened the lid of the box and poured the little bit of spiritual spring water into the little black snake’s mouth.
She had to forcibly pry open its mouth to pour it in.
Everyone: So rough?
So, that moment of warmth earlier was an illusion, right!
As expected, the spiritual spring water proved effective. The little black snake visibly revived after drinking it.
Its dull scales began to turn dark and shiny, and its tail even flicked.
Seeing this, everyone was relieved, as this little black snake was too important to Shen Yao.
After finishing, Shen Yao placed the little black snake by her bedside. Only this way could he slowly recover his body with her spiritual energy.
In Mo Xuan’s current condition, it was impossible for him to recover his spiritual energy autonomously.
Most of the usable spiritual herbs in her spatial dimension were now withered beyond recognition, and as for Dragon Bone Grass, it was unusable.
Even if she had Dragon Bone Grass, she wouldn’t use it for Mo Xuan now; using it at this stage would be like a bull chewing on peonies!
After exchanging a few more words, they turned the conversation back to the purpose of their trip.
“Yaoyao, your wedding is the day after tomorrow. Can your body handle it?”
Mother Shen looked at Shen Yao with concern. She didn’t want her daughter to miss her own wedding, but compared to that, her daughter’s well-being seemed more important.
They had wanted to postpone the wedding on their own accord, but they felt this was ultimately their children’s affair, and they, as elders, shouldn’t be so arbitrary.
Making decisions for the children without consultation, what if the children didn’t agree?
Hearing Mother Shen’s words, Shen Yao finally realized how long she had been asleep.
She scanned herself with her divine sense and, finding no internal injuries, replied, “Mom, I’m fine. The wedding can proceed as planned.”
Mo Chen had also considered postponing the wedding. Although he eagerly wished to marry the person he loved as soon as possible, for Shen Yao’s sake, he didn’t think waiting a little longer would be a problem.
However, hearing Shen Yao say the wedding would proceed as planned, he couldn’t help but be happy.
“Alright, then everything will be according to your wishes. If the wedding proceeds as planned, then our plan remains unchanged,” Father Shen chimed in.
After everyone exchanged more words of care, the two little dumplings, who had been neglected, finally couldn’t help but start crying.
They had followed their uncle to the ward and were placed in a little stroller by him.
Then everyone had abandoned them and focused on fussing over their mother.
Whether they understood or not, during the adults’ conversation, the two of them listened quietly, not crying or making a fuss.
However, their eyes were constantly on their mother. They hadn’t seen their mother for a while and missed her.
“Wuwu…x﹏x…”
“Mmm… Ma, Mama…”
The two cried out, and during their crying, the little dumplings couldn’t help but call out “Mama.”
This immediately stunned everyone, and the somewhat somber atmosphere was instantly lifted.
“Heavens, our Tuanzi can talk now.”
“Oh, you can call Mama, our Tuanzi is so clever!”
“Come, come, call her again for your Mama to hear, come and learn with Grandma, Mama, Mama…”
…
With everyone’s persistent efforts, the little dumplings finally called out “Mama” again, and Jiaozi also learned it.
Once they learned how to call Mama, the two little ones’ mouths wouldn’t stop babbling, constantly calling out “Mama.”
Initially, Shen Yao responded to them tirelessly, but gradually, her expression began to crack.
Shen Yao: So annoying…
Just as the saying goes, people’s joys and sorrows are not interconnected. Compared to Shen Yao’s joy, he was somewhat dejected.
Mo Chen: So jealous!!!
Although he hadn’t spent much time with the two little ones, he loved them dearly, and whenever he had free time, he wished he could be attached to them.
Feeding them, changing their diapers, dressing them, bathing them, as long as he was there, he did all these things. Why didn’t they call him?
Mo Chen was depressed.
And the two little dumplings finally got their wish, being brought from the stroller into Shen Yao’s arms.
At first, everyone was worried that the two little ones would be fussy, but once they were in Shen Yao’s arms, the two children nestled obediently beside Shen Yao.
They were incredibly well-behaved.
Just then, the closed door was pushed open from the outside, and the person entering looked flustered.
The newcomer was Xiao Jun, his hair messy, clearly having rushed over not long ago.
“Auntie, are you alright?”
After greeting Shen Yao, Xiao Jun spoke to her with a flustered expression, “Auntie, where is Mo Xuan?”
Xiao Jun’s tone was very urgent because it couldn’t be blamed on him; after all, when he was playing with Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan had suddenly disappeared.
