The Upper Garden

Alex went into a room to rest. Due to the loss of his Blood Essence, he needed to rest or else he wouldn't be able to function properly at all.

He cultivated in the room for a while, before he felt slightly better. It would take a long time before he could feel as good as he always did, however. 

A while later, he heard a knock on the door. Releasing his spiritual sense, he realized who it was that waited for him outside.

He quickly opened the door and looked at the giant black Jaguar that stood outside. He smiled when he saw her.

"Sister Yao, it's great to see you again," he said jubilantly. 

"Hehe, it's great to see you too, young man. I heard you came, so I hurried here," Yao Jia said. "How have you been?"

"Nothing less than great," he said. "Where's senior Yao?"

"Father is in closed cultivation," she said.

"Oh, is he nearing some breakthrough?" Alex asked.
