After an hour, Bai Zemin's face had become as pale as a sheet and his vision blurred so he had no choice but to lean back and let his back rest on the back of the couch.
"... That little one is still swallowing your mana?" Shangguan Bing Xue asked in a low voice but with impossible to conceal astonishment as her blue eyes locked onto the metallic grey egg in Bai Zemin's embrace.
"It looks like we underestimated her appetite." Bai Zemin replied in an exhausted voice.
He had been giving his mana to the little life inside the egg, but Bai Zemin hadn't expected something like what he was experiencing right now. His Mana reserves were high, monstrously high for a First Order existence. However, even with his 800+ total Mana points, it seemed like it wasn't enough.
"It feels like a black hole wants to swallow me whole." Bai Zemin forced a smile and gently shook his head as he said wearily, "At this rate, I will be forced to use Overlap Regeneration..."
