The Mother of Emptiness seemed to be regaining her strength.
The Heavenly Pillar also seemed to be stabilizing.
The only thing that baffled Qi Yuan was that ever since that frosty night with the Mother of Emptiness.
In the past couple of days, she had been blatantly cold towards Qi Yuan, their communication was not as harmonious as before.
However, Qi Yuan did not mind at all.
He didn't care if she was cold as ice.
His intention was merely to feed the Mother of Emptiness and strengthen the Heavenly Pillar. He did not come to the past to wine and dine with the Mother of Emptiness.
To be honest, their relationship could hardly be described as true friendship.
"I will be leaving at dawn tomorrow, so please prepare more fish tonight." At noon, Qi Yuan lay basking in the sun, looking at the Mother of Emptiness not far away.
"Alright." The woman in the red skirt responded as coldly as ever.
Qi Yuan did not say anything more.
If the relationship was strained, so be it.
