Chapter 102: Escape
Du Sixian’s rejection of the rune came and went quickly.
High fever, intermittent golden scales appearing on her forehead, shortness of breath—all of these side effects disappeared in an instant, to the point where An Qing was caught off guard.
In her memory, the side effects of rejecting a rune take time to alleviate.
“How do you feel?” An Qing hurried over and asked with concern.
“I…” Sixian looked at An Qing blankly as she sat up on the bed. “I feel dizzy…”
Her ears rang as she recalled hearing a loud curse while she was unconscious, as if it came from a distant time and space, beckoning her to wake up.
“Other than that, I feel okay.”
“That’s good,” An Qing nodded. “Why don’t you rest here overnight? I’ll leave you be.”
An Qing left the office and turned off the lights, and Sixian was left in a daze. She sighed as she laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling in the dark.
