Lilly held the jade bottle and began pouring the spiritual spring water into Pablo's mouth.
With his eyes still open, Pablo remained in a state of numbness, devoid of self-awareness.
Eventually, half of the spiritual spring water splashed onto his face, streaming into his eyes and nostrils.
Subconsciously, Pablo raised his axe and swung it through the empty air.
Lilly hurriedly patted his chest, trying to calm him down. "Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Stay calm... It's Lilly who washed your face! Master, ghosts can't choke!" Pablo was silent.
Washing Master's face with the spiritual spring water feels like such a waste...
Feeling a tinge of heartache, Lilly hesitated to pour more, afraid of wasting the water as she was anxious just now.

This time, it finally worked.
The liquid smoothly entered Pablo's mouth, gliding down his throat and coursing through his limbs.
The spiritual spring water acted as a beacon of light amidst the darkness, gradually awakening Pablo's consciousness.
Relieved to see a glimmer of light in his eyes, Lilly let out a sigh.
"Come on, Master, drink some more," she urged. Lilly fetched another bottle of spiritual spring water and handed the empty jade bottle back to the harem spirit.
In this manner, Pablo consumed another bottle of the spiritual spring water, and his numb face gradually regained some expression.
Suddenly, he sat up, causing Lilly to worry he might lose his balance. However, to her surprise, Master continued to hold her tightly...
Overwhelmed with emotion, Lilly wrapped her arms around Pablo's neck, pressing her face against his shoulder, and whispered, "Master, you're the greatest master in the world. Wake up soon... Master!" Pablo found himself in a state of disarray as if he had been immersed in a deep dream from which he could not wake up.
However, at that moment, he heard someone calling out to him.
Something soft and warm brushed against his neck and cheek.
Could it be... Lilly? Yes... it's Lilly! In Pablo's world, it felt like a lightning bolt striking through the chaos, jolting him awake! Pablo was taken aback as he regained consciousness, realizing he had no recollection of when he had become lost.
"Lilly!" Pablo's voice carried a hint of panic as he immediately looked at Lilly, who was in his arms.
Seeing Lilly still there, clutching onto his clothes, he exclaimed with surprise, "Master, you're awake!" "Michael, Miss Harem, Mr. Unlucky... Master has awakened!" Lilly's elation overflowed, finally finding solace from the worries that had burdened her.
Pablo let out a sigh of relief and replied, "It's alright... everything is alright!" He was terrified just a moment ago, not knowing when he had become lost and how long he remained in that state. He was fearful of losing Lilly unknowingly and causing harm to her while lost.
"This abyss is truly formidable..." Pablo sheathed his long axe and rubbed his temples.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The most terrifying aspect is its ability to silently erode one's heart." It was like boiling a frog alive. If it did not notice the changes in the temperature, it would die.
Lilly smoothed the hair on his forehead and reassured him. "It's okay! Now that Master is awake, everything will be fine. Master is the strongest!" Her unwavering trust warmed Pablo's heart.
"Yeah..." Just as Pablo was about to say more, he suddenly realized that his hair was damp. "Huh? Why is my hair wet, Lilly?" Lilly suddenly felt guilty and glanced around before responding, "I just noticed that Master's face was dirty, so | washed it..." Admitting to pouring water into his eyes and nose was out of the question.
To her surprise, Pablo raised an eyebrow and asked skeptically, "Really?" He could not help but wonder why his eyes felt cool and refreshed, and slightly damp. Was Lilly certain that she had not poured water on his face? Unbeknownst to Pablo, his thoughts drifted to a scene from a where an unconscious prisoner was awakened by a jailer pouring a bucket of water over them.
Lilly anxiously replied, "No, really! I just accidentally... poured a tiny bit into your nose, | promise!" She gestured with her index finger and thumb to demonstrate the small amount.
Pablo found it both amusing as he shook his head and said, "I was only teasing you." Looking around, he continued, "We have no idea how long we've been in this spot. We need to know what direction we're in..." Now that Lilly was awake, she was still just a child. Pablo feared that she too might lose herself unknowingly. He dreaded the thought of both of them wandering numbly in the abyss, eventually becoming part of the strange fog.
Lilly pointed in a direction and exclaimed, "It's easy to know the way! Let's go this way!" Pablo sighed and replied, "You don't understand the power of the abyss. The anomaly we encountered when we fell hasn't reappeared. Instead, we've been standing here for quite some time..." Inside the jar of souls, the cowardly ghost silently added, "We've been here for three months." Lilly repeated what the cowardly ghost said, "Master, we've been here for three months..." Wait, three months?! Lilly was astonished. She felt like she had just fallen asleep, yet three months had passed.
Pablo's heart sank. He had been lost for three months! He could not help but think of Ivan's face in the mist and wondered if Ivan was alright now...
Lilly urgently pleaded, "Master, please let me down. We need to find the exit quickly..." Three months was far too long! They had no idea how much time had passed in the mortal world. Lilly's thoughts turned to her grandmother, and she grew increasingly anxious.
It's been so long. Grandma must be worried sick. Please, let her be safe...
