Bai Yue nodded, temporarily suppressing the worry in her heart.
The crisis of the Fire Demon descending was more urgent right now.
The strangeness in the Sea of Consciousness was bizarre, but it hadn’t shown any danger for now, so it was better to focus on dealing with the Fire Demon first.
Bai Yue then asked, “Are we going to find Su Qiuyue now?”
“Mm, I want to meet up with her as soon as possible to speed up our strength, so last night I traveled through the night with Master.”
Mu Chenxi explained.
“Well done.”
Bai Yue wholeheartedly agreed with her decision, then reminded her, “You can put me down now. Focus on the journey.”
“Alright, Master.”
Mu Chenxi gently set Bai Yue’s soft body down from her embrace.
Bai Yue lightly wrapped her arms around Mu Chenxi’s slender waist as usual, but this time, it was face to face.
Such a position was inevitably ambiguous. Her body pressed gently against Mu Chenxi.
The big ball pressed against the small ball, and Bai Yue could clearly feel Mu Chenxi’s accelerated heartbeat.
Bai Yue’s heartbeat also sped up involuntarily, and both of their cheeks quietly flushed red.
In this enchanting atmosphere, no one spoke again.
Only the noisy wind howled in their ears.
The autumn wind was cool on their bodies, but it couldn’t dispel the heat burning on their blushing cheeks.
Because she had comprehended much of Su Qiuyue’s inheritance, Mu Chenxi’s strength had improved rapidly, and her traveling speed had become quite fast.
She estimated that by noon tomorrow, they could reach the small mountain where Su Qiuyue was.
They flew from day into night, never stopping along the way.
Night was also the time when consciousness descended into the future.
Mu Chenxi stopped flying, landing in a hidden mountain forest.
Moonlight spilled through the mottled shadows of the trees, falling on her and her Master.
Mu Chenxi leaned in Bai Yue’s arms, her consciousness sinking into the future once more.
This time, she didn’t rush to find Su Qiuyue, but wanted to explore Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness to see if there was anything inside that could help her go further.
So she made a request to Yan Hua, asking Yan Hua to pull her into the Sea of Consciousness.
“Yan Hua, besides this Great Stomach, is there anything else in your Sea of Consciousness that can greatly enhance my Soul?”
Mu Chenxi asked.
“My Soul is already much stronger now, so I should be able to withstand a bigger impact.”
Yan Hua turned her head toward a dark corner deep in the Sea of Consciousness.
That corner was somewhere Mu Chenxi had never noticed before.
Even the moonlight couldn’t reach it, as if it was completely cut off from light and shadow.
When Mu Chenxi tried to look closer, all she felt was a chill that made her heart race, unable to see anything clearly.
In that darkness, it seemed some terrifying existence was lurking.
“It’s there. That one should be even stronger than the Great Stomach, right?”
Yan Hua pointed at that eerie corner, then blinked and added,
“But I feel like you’re still not strong enough yet, junior sister. If you go there rashly, you might die.”
“It’s not just about dying right now. Even if your Soul returns, you might not be able to withstand the shock and die anyway.”
“So, I think it’s better if you don’t take the risk, junior sister.”
Hearing this, Mu Chenxi’s expression grew serious.
Even Yan Hua, whose mind was always a mess, called it dangerous—this was definitely unusual.
She suddenly realized that the secrets hidden within Yan Hua were far greater than she had imagined.
She couldn’t take such a risk. Bai Yue was still waiting for her rescue; she had to survive and could not let anything happen after returning.
Mu Chenxi could only give up exploring that corner with no choice, turning instead to enter the Great Stomach within Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness once again.
At the same time, she activated Soulburn Return Essence, intending to use a dual-layered approach to quickly strengthen her Divine Sense.
After all, Su Qiuyue’s Soul Path Secret Technique required extremely powerful Divine Sense. Only with sufficient strength could she unleash the full power of the secret art.
Sure enough, Soulburn Return Essence was marvelously profound. Even in Yan Hua’s Sea of Consciousness, Mu Chenxi could wield it with ease.
However, when her Soul burned out, she had to endure immense pain—the clearer her consciousness, the stronger the pain; the stronger the pain, the faster her Divine Sense grew.
Yet because of this, her Soul was further tempered.
When she exited the Sea of Consciousness, her whole body was drenched in sweat, collapsing limply into Bai Yue’s embrace.
“Chenxi, hurry and come into my Sea of Consciousness.”
Bai Yue reminded her anxiously.
She could guess at a glance that Mu Chenxi had used Soulburn Return Essence again.
The secret art was powerful, but its side effects were severe. Both Soul and spirit suffered greatly.
Seeing her disciple fight so desperately, Bai Yue’s heart ached.
Mu Chenxi nodded, sending her Soul into Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.
This time, she saw Bai Yue still in her hospital gown, but the scene before her made her heart tighten.
The Faceless Nurse stood in front of Bai Yue.
Master had been caught by the Faceless Nurse?
Mu Chenxi was startled, quickly stepping forward to stand in front of Bai Yue, her body tense as she glared at the Faceless Nurse, ready for battle at any moment.
Bai Yue had been glaring angrily at the Faceless Nurse, but when she saw Mu Chenxi arrive, her expression instantly turned to joy.
“Chenxi, you came to see me?”
She said, reaching out to take Mu Chenxi’s hand.
“Master, this…”
Mu Chenxi had just started to speak when she heard Bai Yue angrily question the Faceless Nurse.
“Idiot! Why did you change my hot water to cold?”
The Faceless Nurse sighed helplessly.
“Bai Yue, stop making a fuss.”
Mu Chenxi thought Bai Yue was being bullied, and stood even more firmly in front of her.
Da-da… da-da…
The sound of sandals echoed again, and another nurse walked in.
This nurse was taller than the previous one by half a head, with five stripes on her shoulder, and also had no facial features.
“How are you taking care of Bai Yue?”
The tall nurse questioned the Little Nurse sternly.
“You made her so agitated.”
“Head Nurse, I didn’t! It was Bai Yue who refused to take her medicine, and started causing trouble herself…”
The Little Nurse quickly defended herself, her voice full of grievance, clearly feeling wronged.
“Who said I’m making a fuss? Head Nurse, judge for yourself! She’s the one bullying me! And now she says I’m making a fuss!”
Bai Yue was so agitated that even Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but share her indignation, glaring angrily at the Faceless Little Nurse.
“Bai Yue, calm down and tell me what happened. I’ll make sure justice is served.”
The Head Nurse soothed her gently.
“Head Nurse, I have a cold constitution. I need hot water to wash my face every day, so I always prepare it early in the evening and leave it in the basin.”
Bai Yue pointed to the basin on the bedside table, then glared at the Little Nurse.
“This person is always so mean, always bullying me. Every morning, she secretly switches my hot water for cold, so when I wake up, I can only wash my face with cold water.”
When Bai Yue finished, her chest heaved so violently that the buttons on her hospital gown almost popped off.
“No, Head Nurse, listen to this—does it even make sense?”
The Little Nurse’s voice grew even more aggrieved.
“Still denying it? You’re just making excuses!”
Bai Yue huffed, pointing at the basin of cold water.
“Head Nurse, look! Such a big basin of cold water—it’s irrefutable evidence, and she’s still denying it in front of you!”
“Why did you switch Bai Yue’s hot water for cold?”
The Head Nurse questioned the Little Nurse sternly.
