As Hou Longqing awoke, the Dining Hall was joyful once more. Upon breaking the taboo and using his Providence to forcibly Ascend Heilan, he was first quite perplexed as he opened his eyes. He was still alive and didn't expect him to be. That was the only thing he could do at the time to rescue him and save him from dying. He's prepared to die that day.
Hou Longqing mumbled, "I'm really not dead?"
"Almost, A'Qing. Almost! I beg you not to do such a thing again?" said Heilan as he wiped his tears and couldn't move his eyes on the man in his embrace.
The Dragon Race were delighted that their daughter-in-law woke up. The Dragon Empress, Alina, dragged her husband and introduced themselves to Hou Longqing.
"Child, you've finally woken up! This is great. Now we only need to nourish your soul and you will become healthy again." Alina said. "Ah~ nice to meet you. I am Heilan's mother. My name is Alina. Child you call me 'Mother'."
