Chapter sixty-five

Meng was brought all the way to the back of the library next to the Hidden door were she slept. Her chair was positioned so that the back sat perfectly against the wall allowing her to see the vast library in front of her.

"Now this is where we really start." Rong You excitedly rubbled his hands together and his eyes gleamed.

The action in itself made Meng want to raise an eyebrow only to fail due to lack of energy. Even the muscles of her face were drained! Feeling a bit feed up about being powerless, Meng forcefully lifted an eyebrow. The slow crawl up her face took time, however finally it hit an acceptable position and dropped back down.

While it was a small victory, that the blabbering Rong You didn't notice, it made Meng feel undeniably better. At least she still had control over her body even though it was hard to control.

"Now if you focus on one part of your body daily you can master it and maybe move all together in the future..." Rong You's blabbering caught Meng's attention again as she half heartedly listened to his words. What she truly wanted to know was how long she would be like this and when would she has an acceptable muscle mass to gain back her cultivation.

Even if she didn't move a lot in her past life it didn't mean she didn't appreciate the ability to be able to do things on her own. Actually moving was vital to her ability to live, after all, how long would she make it if she couldn't flip pages or eat? Even though as a Cultivator she hadn't felt hungry for ages, without her cultivation she was definitely going to starve.

Meng's eyes were filled with questions as she watching the short bald man move around, however it seemed as time went on she only continued to lose energy. Thus, in silence, Meng watched as Rong You kept on with his dull speech.

"Once you reach the doors you will find a dan pill crafted by me personally, which will restore you powers." Rong You's eyes took on a praising light as he observed his disciples movements. "You keeping consciousness is a good sign! I'm sure you will be able to reach the dan pill in six months!" The proud declaration caused Meng's eyes to take on an involuntary twitch that even zero energy couldn't stop.

Meng might not be from ancient times, but she had a vast knowledge about Defying Moonlight. She escaped to get stronger in a year's timeframe specifically because of what comes after the year. Saving Feng Qi would be much harder if she isn't able to keep the emperor at bay somehow.

The feeling a worry gnawed at Meng's cold heart, but the oblivious Rong You was even more oblivious to the unable to speak Meng. Therefore, with a pat on her shoulder, he interpreted the worry in her eyes differently and his wrinkly face broke out into a smile.

"Don't worry about food or bathing while I took the majority of your energy you still have some left to keep up with your daily functions. Also, I'll take the responsibility of training your maid while you finish your task." The words brought a finish to his speech and Rong You walked past Meng into the hidden room.

Suddenly, Meng was all alone in a large library unable to do anything. The sense of panic tried to raise its ugly head in her heart, but lack of energy put it to sleep. For a minute she stared at the shelves listlessly reading the titles before her eye closed.
