Di Ao was in a coma for half the night before regaining consciousness.
As soon as she awoke, she found herself still in the secret passage, with Qiao Sen nowhere to be seen, but a bizarre wall appeared before her.
Di Ao weakly propped herself up against the wall to stand, feeling as if she had been starved for days, weak and powerless.
"Hmm?"
After standing up, Di Ao realized that the body beneath her head was not her own, but a strange young body.
Upon inspection, Di Ao guessed that this body should belong to Emperor Qiao Zhi; the clothes were right, the physical characteristics were right, only the aged body had reverted to its youthful state.
If it weren't for Qiao Sen's body being forged with muscles of steel, Di Ao would have almost thought she had taken over Qiao Sen's body.
Her memory only stayed on the part where she was shattered by the frenzied Qiao Sen, her head knocked to the ground, the rest a blur, unable to recall how she merged with Emperor Qiao Zhi's body.
