Keeping Up Their End of the Deal

'I will probably be able to understand the burden you face soon enough.' Ki'Nua thought, noticing the sleeping figure of Re'Kha. Even if she had been pretending to sleep, she wouldn't notice anything amiss.

For, the effect of the First Celestial Emperor's arrangement was still active on her. So, even if Re'Kha managed to sense something through her Wind Qi perception, she wouldn't think of it as odd.

Using the opportunity, Ki'Nua directed her palm towards Re'Kha, focusing on her eyes. Then, the jet-black energy given to her by the First Celestial Emperor gushed out and entered her eyes. They didn't seem to bear any hostility to Re'Kha, rather, they seemed to be doing something that would help her later.
