However, Mu Chenxi spread her powerful Divine Sense like a tide, sweeping back and forth meticulously several times, but found nothing unusual.
This mountain wilderness was quiet, and aside from a few weak creatures, there was no sign of anything abnormal.
This made her frown deepen.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
She raised her head and looked at the Full Moon in the sky.
The oppressive and uneasy feeling deep within her soul grew even stronger for no apparent reason.
Even the cold moonlight seemed to harbor malice.
“Is there something wrong with the moon?”
Bai Yue also walked out. Seeing her staring at the night sky with furrowed brows, she couldn’t help but ask.
“I can’t say for sure”
Mu Chenxi’s voice carried a trace of confusion.
“But when I look at the moon, the uneasiness in my heart amplifies.”
Hearing this, Bai Yue also looked up at the Full Moon, but couldn’t discern anything unusual.
She grew more puzzled inside, completely unable to figure out the source of this strange feeling.
“How about… we find another place to establish a Cave Dwelling?”
Bai Yue had always been cautious and never harbored any wishful thinking.
“Alright.”
Mu Chenxi nodded immediately without hesitation.
She absolutely couldn’t let Master fall into unknown danger.
The two of them once again transformed into streaks of light, riding their swords into the sky.
They circled the edge of the Ancient Battlefield for a long time, but the feeling remained.
Then they completely changed direction, fleeing swiftly toward a place far away from the Ancient Battlefield.
However, that sense of unease clung to Mu Chenxi like a maggot to the bone.
No matter how far they flew, it lingered in her heart without the slightest sign of weakening.
“Let’s rest here for now.”
Seeing this, Bai Yue could only let Mu Chenxi stop.
Although this inexplicable feeling was strange, they couldn’t let themselves become like headless flies, blindly fleeing in panic.
The two finally stopped on an unremarkable mountain slope.
“We’re already far from the Ancient Battlefield, yet the sense of danger still exists.”
Mu Chenxi’s elegant brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with solemnity.
“Perhaps you’ve just been too tense these days and need to rest,”
Bai Yue gently suggested.
“If the feeling is still there tomorrow, we can go farther, or simply rest for a few days until it completely disappears before setting out again.”
“Mm.”
Mu Chenxi nodded lightly in agreement.
She felt that everything should be prioritized for Master’s safety, and anything else could be set aside.
The two quickly established a temporary Cave Dwelling.
Inside the Cave Dwelling, Mu Chenxi still couldn’t calm her mind to cultivate.
She could only sit to the side, her clear eyes fixed unwaveringly on Bai Yue.
Bai Yue was meditating with her eyes closed, but sensing Mu Chenxi’s focused gaze, she felt a bit uneasy. She had no choice but to open her eyes and speak helplessly.
“Chenxi, why are you staring at me?”
“Because I have nothing to do, so I look at Master,”
Mu Chenxi answered seriously, then added as if it was the most natural thing in the world, “Master is beautiful.”
Bai Yue was so embarrassed by her straightforward praise that her face turned bright red.
“Ahem…”
She cleared her throat to hide her awkwardness, then suggested,
“How about this—hold my hand. That way, you can better comprehend the Sword Dao and won’t be idle.”
“Alright, thank you, Master.”
Mu Chenxi’s eyes brightened at her words, and she immediately agreed.
When she took Bai Yue’s hand, she naturally intertwined their fingers.
The warm, delicate touch spread, and Bai Yue’s hand gripped hers in return, a wave of warmth flowing from their fingertips into her heart.
That inexplicable sense of unease was dispelled quite a bit.
Mu Chenxi took a deep breath, trying her best to ignore the remaining strange feeling.
She calmed her mind, focusing on comprehending the true essence of the Sword Dao.
Peace returned to the Cave Dwelling as time flowed by.
Holding Bai Yue’s hand, Mu Chenxi found that the anxiety lingering in her heart gradually faded away without her noticing, until it vanished completely.
“Master, that uneasy feeling… seems to have disappeared.”
Mu Chenxi shared the good news with Bai Yue.
“That’s wonderful!”
Bai Yue was overjoyed and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
If it really had been some kind of omen of unknown danger, that would have been terrible.
Now that the feeling was gone, it seemed to have been a false alarm.
Around midnight, the Fiery Poison in Bai Yue’s body flared up as expected.
The two were already lying on the soft blanket, their jade hands still intertwined.
Mu Chenxi activated her spiritual energy, sending a gentle and pure stream of Ice Cold Qi into Bai Yue’s body like a trickling stream, dispelling the heat.
Bai Yue felt comforted and safe, her eyelids growing heavy as she slowly drifted to sleep.
Mu Chenxi gazed at Bai Yue’s peaceful, beautiful sleeping face, her heart filled with tranquility.
However, at that moment, a sudden wave of drowsiness surged over her like a tide.
What’s happening?
Mu Chenxi was startled.
With her current cultivation, her soul was condensed, and she no longer needed mortal sleep—especially as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
She couldn’t understand it. She tried to force herself to stay awake, but her eyelids grew heavier and her consciousness blurred…
In the end, she drifted off in a daze.
“Chenxi! Run!”
“Run! Hurry!”
It was Master’s voice!
Bai Yue’s voice, filled with endless despair, trembled like a sharp ice pick stabbing fiercely into her mind!
Mu Chenxi’s body trembled violently, and she jolted awake, drenched in cold sweat.
“Huff… Huff…”
She gasped for air, her chest heaving as she stared at Bai Yue beside her.
“What’s wrong, Chenxi?”
Bai Yue was awakened by her movements. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked at her with concern.
“Master, I… I don’t know why I fell asleep. I heard your voice calling me to run, as if you were in danger.”
Mu Chenxi explained.
Because she was gripping Bai Yue’s hand so tightly, her knuckles had turned white and her palm was sweaty.
“Was it a nightmare?”
Bai Yue asked softly.
Her hand had been painfully squeezed awake by Mu Chenxi, but she didn’t mention it. Instead, she gently placed her other hand over Mu Chenxi’s, trying to soothe her anxiety.
“Mm… I suppose it was a nightmare…”
Mu Chenxi finally realized and quickly loosened her grip, though she still didn’t let go.
Seeing the fine beads of cold sweat on her forehead, Bai Yue raised her hand and gently wiped them away with her sleeve.
“Maybe you’re just too tense? Don’t worry, Chenxi. It’s just a dream.”
Bai Yue comforted her, her voice especially gentle.
“Master, that dangerous feeling is back…”
Mu Chenxi frowned deeply.
The sense of danger awakened by the nightmare returned.
“Master, is this place unsafe? Should we move again?”
Mu Chenxi grew more concerned for Bai Yue.
That nightmarish voice had truly frightened her.
She was afraid the nightmare would come true, and Bai Yue would really encounter danger.
She became somewhat paranoid, seeing enemies in every shadow, feeling as if unknown foes lurked everywhere.
