A period of waiting.

When people saw a large eagle fly out from the courtyard at full speed, they immediately broke down the gate to the mansion and rushed into the courtyard. When they saw that the snow in the courtyard was dyed red with blood, it did not require too much thinking to realize what had happened.

There were no corpses or body parts, but all the tables and chairs were broken, food and blood completely covered the snow in the courtyard. For there to be this much blood, it was highly unlikely that there would be any survivors. So the only explanation was that someone had killed everyone inside the courtyard and carried off their bodies.

The thought that someone could enter the courtyard of the mansion belonging to the Raging Snow Sect, killing everyone inside it, and then escape afterwards, terrified the people of the city. One had to know that the Raging Snow Sect had invited every influential person in the surrounding area to participate in the birthday of Cui Bao, yet they had all simply died.

Yao Jun of course knew nothing about the fear he had instilled in the people of the city. Immediately after leaving Raging Snow City, he started searching the surrounding area for a place where he could be safe for a few days until Guo Luo woke up.

Yao Jun decided to not take any risks this time, so the moment he left Raging Snow City, he made Little Gray fly until he found a small mountain that was located a good distance away from Raging Snow City.

But Yao Jun still did not feel like it was enough. So the moment they landed on the mountain, he immediately brought Little Gray into the gate, himself entering into the darkness. It was only after he entered the darkness, completely vanishing from the mountain, that he took out his gate and entered it.

After entering the gate, he immediately moved over to the place where he had placed Guo Luo. Guo Luo's body was still surrounded by a large amount of medicinal herbs, a refreshing scent continuously emitting from the herbs.

Yao Jun walked over and sat down next to Guo Luo's body, placing her head on his lap, he had already given her the antidote, so all he could do now was wait, occasionally feeding her some food and water to make sure that she didn't become too malnourished.

His left arm was aching again. The Qi that had forced his bone to stay in place vanished after he finished the fight, so the bone returned to it's previous broken state. But Yao Jun did not care about that at this moment, all his attention was focused on Guo Luo.

While Yao Jun was watching over Guo Luo, his Demonic beasts were busy dividing up the corpses that they had acquired in Raging Snow City. Ba-Shei and Sirius took the least corpses, handing over several corpses that would have been theirs to Little Thunder and Little Gray. After all, they were all followers of the demon god, it would not be good if any of them were too weak.

Life entered a surprisingly calm period for Yao Jun at this moment. His Demonic beasts were busy eating the corpses and using them to increase their strength, while he himself was calmly watching over Guo Luo.

He would send Yun Yantian and the others a message every day, making sure that he knew what they were doing and that they knew what he was doing. The only other thing he would do during the day was take care of Guo Luo, he did not even move from the spot where he had first sat down.

"There is a small bakery in Great Rock City, it's owned by a an old man who made excellent cakes. I would run there every morning and get some cakes and bread from him. Uncle Jiang I would call him, despite him clearly being over 60 years of age."

"When I turned five, my father gifted me my first sword. After I spent some time pestering him, he agreed to train me the day after gifting me the sword. My father was a strict teacher, but I know that he was only like that because he wanted to bring out my best."

"My father made a friend while he was fighting for the Yao clan, a man called Yao Wuying. It did not take long for the two of them to become sworn brothers, both willing to give up their life for the other."

"Uncle Wuying's wife died before she was able to birth any children for him, so he always treated me like a son, that is why I call him Uncle Wuying. I have not seen him since we left Great Rock City, but I know that he has helped my parents several times after leaving the city. I hope that he is still doing fine."

As Yao Jun sat next to Guo Luo, he would spend the days gently caressing her hair. When he got hungry, he would take out things from his interspatial ring and use his right hand to make a light soup. Since Guo Luo was still unconscious, he could only feed her mouth to mouth, so he found that soup was the best option.

He would also talk to her a lot, much more than he was used to talking. He talked about everything that came to mind. He talked about how he felt about certain things. He talked about how he planned certain things before he had done them.

He also talked a lot about his own past, before his family moved to Flying Fish Town. He had told Guo Luo a lot about his past, but there were still many things he had not yet gotten the chance to tell her.

He would occasionally send a bit of his Qi into Guo Luo's body, examining the inside of her body and making sure that there were no problems. His Demonic beasts would obviously not come and disturb him as he was doing this, only coming over once or twice to deliver interspatial rings that they had taken from the corpses.

As Yao Jun was sitting there talking, he suddenly noticed that the previously un-moving Guo Luo suddenly moved slightly. He hurriedly tilted his head downwards and saw that Guo Luo was moving her head slightly, as if she was just waking up.

Seeing her like this, Yao Jun heaved a heavy sigh of relief. All the poison was gone from her system and there were no other problems with her body, so it had only been a matter of time before she woke up. But it was not knowing exactly when she would wake up that caused the days to be almost unbearable.
