Hearing the sound, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly withdrew the "Courage" character, flew down, and returned indoors. Upon entering Dai Yu's room, Wang Xiaoqiang found Dai Yu curled up in a ball, her body trembling, eyes wide open in terror, her little face as pale as paper, obviously frightened.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang come in, Dai Yu immediately threw herself into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, sobbing. It seemed as if her tightly wound nerves had suddenly relaxed, and tears fell like broken strands of pearls, ceaseless like the rain outside.

"What's wrong, Dai Yu? Why are you so scared?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked worriedly while gently patting her fragrant shoulder.

Wang Xiaoqiang knew that Dai Yu had once been frightened at Luoo River, causing a mental breakdown. Although he had cured her later, there was still a psychological shadow that could not withstand the slightest agitation.

"I, I'm scared, I'm scared of thunder, and just now outside, there was a loud boom, what was it?" Dai Yu said with a trembling voice. Wang Xiaoqiang could feel her heart racing uncontrollably. He realized she was genuinely terrified and not just pretending. At that moment, he also knew that the thunderous sound of "Courage" striking down a tree had frightened Dai Yu.

Feeling extremely apologetic, he then held her tightly and infused her with Earth Element Spiritual Qi to solidify her heart. With the infusion of Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Qi,

soon, Dai Yu's heart stabilized, and her tense fear was alleviated, yet she still held Wang Xiaoqiang tightly.

"All right, it's okay now, Dai Yu, don't be afraid..." As Wang Xiaoqiang's breathing became heavy, he dared not continue like this, so he patted Dai Yu and let her go. However, Dai Yu didn't let go of him, murmuring, "Little Qiang, brother, don't leave, I'm scared..."

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a headache and thought to himself that she was forcing him to do something wrong. He patted her shoulder again, saying, "It's all right, sleep now,"

He then gently placed her delicate body on the bed.

Just as he laid her down, there was a sudden flash of light outside, and a massive bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Then there was a loud crack, a thunderous boom that made ears buzz, and Dai Yu leapt into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms again, body trembling as she screamed.

The thunder outside was incessant. The rain kept falling.

"Little Qiang, don't go, stay here with me." Dai Yu clung to Wang Xiaoqiang.

"You and I, so steeped in affection; when affection is abundant, it's as warm as fire: take a handful of clay, mold it into you, sculpt it into me. Break the two of us together, blend us with water; mold you once more, sculpt me again. In my clay, there is you; in your clay, there is me: we share the same quilt in life, the same coffin in death."

...

The next day, the weather cleared up,

In the early morning, the sun rose, filling the window with its glow,

Sunlight poured in, casting over the two of them,

At that moment, they were still tightly intertwined,

Wang Xiaoqiang woke up ahead of Dai Yu, opened his eyes, and saw a captivating figure before him. Her body, like smooth, warm jade, was as white as snow, as warm as jade, tender and vibrant like a flower, with features as delicate as a piece of fine jade. Her small, clean face with a faint scholarly aura still had a lingering blush, like a remnant of last night's intoxication, but it wasn't intoxication; it was the hue that comes only after a woman's been tenderly cared for by a man...
