"...You can still sit up?" The woman's expression was surprised.
"...I can only sit up. If I move any further, I'll feel completely powerless." Shi Wanyun decided to be honest for now to gain this woman's trust.
Judging by the others' attitudes toward her during the recent ritual, she must hold a very high status here.
"That's already impressive." The woman smiled with satisfaction, "Indeed, this batch of survivors is much stronger than before."
Her words stirred something in Shi Wanyun's heart.
This woman seems to know something about the survivors!
The woman reached out and lightly patted Shi Wanyun on the shoulder.
Shi Wanyun suddenly felt the sense of constraint ease significantly.
She looked down and saw the blood markings on her body gradually receding, sinking into the stone bed beneath her, merging with the engravings, and then slowly fading away.
She moved her body slightly and found that she was no longer being drained of strength like before.
