After about thirty minutes, both Yunlan Qingyi and Li Mei slowly woke up.
They sat there, blinking in silence, looking around as if unsure of what just happened.
Then their eyes met.
They stared at each other.
"…"
Li Mei finally broke the silence.
"Princess… I think I've broken through. Because of the noodles."
Even she didn't expect to say that. But she could feel it clearly - her body felt lighter, her senses sharper.
She had really advanced to the Fourth Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm!
Still, Li Mei didn't want to make the situation about herself.
So she quickly turned to Yunlan Qingyi with worry in her eyes.
"Yiyi… did the instant noodles help you too?"
"Or… was it still the same?"
Li Mei was anxious.
Even though what just happened to her felt amazing, she couldn't smile if her best friend didn't get the same result.
She sent her plead skyward, as if the heavens were listening.
Please… please let this help her too.
She knew how much Yunlan Qingyi had suffered.
