"To be exact, you were asleep for five hours and twenty-three minutes. How are you feeling?" Lu Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned to the instrument panel.
After waking up, Vilke's condition was even better than it had been right after the Spiritual Soothing.
Lu Xiao was very pleased with this, though she didn't let her emotions show too clearly.
"I feel great, really, really great!" As if one "great" wasn't enough to express himself, he quickly added, "I feel like I haven't been this well since I became S-Class. The dull ache in my Spirit Sea is gone, and it's so calm. It's like it was before I was promoted to S-Class."
His tone in that last sentence held an unspoken hope and a touch of caution.
Lu Xiao knew Vilke must have sensed something. After all, when Ares was downgraded from A-level to B-level, the physical change had been very noticeable.
