Night on the Range

Hina's eyes shot open, gasping for air. However, the purple aura flaring up around her continued to grow in intensity, until it had grown to overtake the entirety of Bai Xiyi's back. Meanwhile, Long Meiling, Bai Xiyi, and even Ji Shuchun turned to look, sensing something was off.

This couldn't be a part of the training method, could it?

"Uh oh."

Of course, that wasn't the case. Thinking quickly, Ryker pulled Hina into an embrace, circulating his qi to stabilize her condition. The purple aura she was emitting flooded into him, sending shocks like electricity through his body, but it was thankfully weak due to the small amount of that qi-spark within her.

Eventually, though, after several moments of this electrifying treatment, Hina's surging aura died down, their surroundings returning to calm.

"Phew, just in time," said Ryker, heaving a sigh of relief. If he had stopped her any later, she might have suffered from a magical outburst.
