Chapter 51: This Master Isn’t Proper at All

“Head Nurse…”

The Little Nurse had no face, and naturally no expression, but her tone was full of aggrieved emotion.

“Don’t just stand there. Apologize to Bai Yue, then go get a basin of hot water.”

The Head Nurse ordered sharply.

“Sorry, Bai Yue…”

The Little Nurse could only bow her head in grievance, picked up the cold water, and left.

After the Little Nurse left, the Head Nurse turned to look at Bai Yue, her tone softening a little.

“Bai Yue, did you take your medicine properly today?”

“Of course I did. I took my medicine well today.”

Bai Yue forced a smile, showing a row of big white teeth.

“That’s good.”

The Head Nurse glanced at Mu Chenxi beside her, then said,

“Your family member came to see you, so I won’t disturb you. Remember to rest more and take your medicine obediently on time. Recover soon so your family member can take you out earlier.”

After giving her instructions, the Head Nurse walked away in her sandals with a “da da… da da…” sound.

Mu Chenxi stood where she was, completely dumbfounded.

She had thought the faceless nurse was a terrifying monster, but now it seemed the nurse had no intention of harming Master.

On the contrary, it seemed Master was the one acting a bit strange…

“What are you thinking about? Chenxi, what are you thinking?”

Bai Yue’s hand rested lightly on Mu Chenxi’s shoulder, and she leaned close to blow a breath into Mu Chenxi’s ear.

Mu Chenxi shivered and snapped back to her senses.

She had been so deep in thought just now that Bai Yue startled her.

“N-no, I wasn’t thinking about anything…”

Mu Chenxi didn’t tell Master her thoughts.

She had picked up some information from the nurses’ conversation, but she couldn’t risk upsetting Master.

“You’ve damaged your soul again. Later, I’ll take you to a nice place to help you repair it.”

Bai Yue smiled.

A nice place?

Mu Chenxi was puzzled.

Did Master want to take her to soak in a hot spring?

But there didn’t seem to be a hot spring here.

At this moment, the Little Nurse from before returned, holding a basin of steaming hot water.

The door was still open, but the Little Nurse knocked on the doorframe before entering.

Clearly, she had been disciplined by Bai Yue.

“Bai Yue, the hot water is here. Can I come in?”

The Little Nurse asked.

“At least you’re polite. Come in.”

Bai Yue replied.

“Bai Yue, please don’t speak ill of me in front of the Head Nurse next time, okay?”

The Little Nurse placed the hot water on the bedside cabinet, set a clean face towel by Bai Yue’s side, and spoke aggrievedly.

“That depends on your behavior.”

“Alright, it’s family member time now. Don’t bother us. Go play.”

Bai Yue waved her hand.

“Okay…”

The Little Nurse could only turn and leave obediently.

Mu Chenxi watched the obedient Little Nurse and felt that, although the nurse looked a bit strange, she really wasn’t threatening.

It seemed her previous worries had been unnecessary.

“Master, let me help you wash your face.”

Mu Chenxi said.

“Sure, then I’ll trouble you.”

Bai Yue sat at the edge of the bed with a smile.

Mu Chenxi picked up the face towel hanging by the bed, soaked it in the hot water, wrung it out, and gently wiped Bai Yue’s face.

Her movements were especially gentle.

Bai Yue closed her eyes, looking like a docile kitten, appearing very comfortable.

“Master, aren’t you afraid of those faceless nurses?”

Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but ask.

She wanted to understand her Master better.

Bai Yue smiled at her words.

“Of course I’m not afraid of those nurses.”

“Then why did you make me hide under the table with you last time?”

This was something Mu Chenxi couldn’t figure out and was quite puzzled about.

“Because it’s a bit thrilling to hide, squeezing together with Chenxi in a small space and sticking close. It made my heart race.”

Bai Yue said, placing her hand on her own chest and winking at Mu Chenxi.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, every frown and smile exuding both charm and a bit of innocence.

Mu Chenxi recalled how Master had even patted her on the back then, making her cheeks flush.

So Master was just playing around with her last time.

This Master… seemed even more mischievous and a bit unreliable.

But… Mu Chenxi also thought such a Master was a little cute.

Thinking so, Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but raise her hand and boldly patted Bai Yue’s head.

Bai Yue squinted her eyes in pleasure, giving her a faint smile.

Indeed, this Master was very cute, with a hint of childishness.

After washing Bai Yue’s face, Mu Chenxi asked,

“Master, where are we going now?”

“You carry me, and I’ll guide you.”

Bai Yue sat on the bed and reached out both hands to Mu Chenxi, signaling her to come carry her.

“Alright.”

Mu Chenxi didn’t refuse, walked over, and squatted in front of Bai Yue.

Bai Yue leaned onto her back, wrapping her arms around her neck. Her soft body pressed tightly against Mu Chenxi’s back.

Unlike riding a sword together, Bai Yue’s full weight was on Mu Chenxi, making her keenly aware of the soft, springy sensation on her back, causing her cheeks to redden.

“Chenxi, don’t space out. Step out of the room first, and I’ll guide you.”

“Oh…”

Mu Chenxi’s cheeks reddened slightly. She took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat.

She firmly wrapped her arms around Bai Yue’s thighs and carried her out of the room.

“Turn left over there.”

Bai Yue whispered in her ear.

Mu Chenxi followed Bai Yue’s instructions, turning left and right through the long corridor, until she finally exited the building.

“Head that way.”

Bai Yue pointed to the Security Watchtower in the distance.

Mu Chenxi nodded and carried Bai Yue toward the watchtower.

She entered the tower and climbed the long staircase, soon reaching the top.

“Chenxi, can you carry me onto the roof of the watchtower?”

Mu Chenxi tried to mobilize her soul’s power and found that she could float, though the speed was very slow.

She carefully carried Bai Yue on her back, slowly rising and finally landing steadily on the rooftop.

By now, it was already night.

In the Sea of Consciousness, a full moon hung high, and the gentle moonlight poured over them, serene and peaceful.

Bai Yue pulled Mu Chenxi to sit down beside her, and the two sat together, bathed in the moonlight.

Bai Yue’s head rested lightly on Mu Chenxi’s shoulder, her silvery hair brushing her neck and sending a faint tickle.

Mu Chenxi could clearly feel her damaged soul gradually recovering under the nourishment of the moonlight, the torn feeling slowly fading away.

So bathing in the moonlight here could also heal the soul.

“Chenxi, how do you feel now?”

Bai Yue asked softly.

“Much better. I should be fully recovered in a little while.”

Mu Chenxi replied, gently leaning against Bai Yue’s head.

Her jade hand reached out to clasp Bai Yue’s, their fingers intertwining naturally, filling her heart with peace.

In this moment, she set aside the urgency of fighting the Fire Demon and searching for Su Qiuyue.

She just wanted to immerse herself in this fleeting tranquility, quietly leaning against Master.

Unconsciously, Mu Chenxi felt her soul completely restored, even slightly stronger than before.

She turned to look at Master, who was leaning on her shoulder, only to find Master asleep, a glimmer of drool at the corner of her mouth.
