Chapter 63: They’re Way Too Strange

Su Qiuyue was also shocked when she learned of Bai Yue’s strange behavior.

Bai Yue’s bizarre actions were simply beyond comprehension.

“Qiuyue, what do you think happened to Master?”

Mu Chenxi asked.

“I don’t know either… Like this, if Master merges these memories after waking up, I wonder if something will go wrong?”

Su Qiuyue was worried as well.

The worry in Mu Chenxi’s eyes grew deeper.

“It’s really hard to say. I hope Master is okay.”

Mu Chenxi sighed, unable to help herself.

She didn’t expect Bai Yue to be even more special than she imagined, and the situation more complicated.

“Now isn’t the time to dwell on this. We don’t have any time to spare. Let’s focus on dealing with the Fire Demon.”

Su Qiuyue reminded.

Mu Chenxi nodded too.

She suppressed the anxiety in her heart, immediately picked up Bai Yue, and continued on her way.

Su Qiuyue then re-entered Mu Chenxi’s body and began cultivating the previous Secret Method.

Chenxi also showed her the scene from the last battle with the Fire Demon.

She saw the Secret Method her future self had used and gained new insights.

She was working hard to further perfect and deduce it, wanting to make the Secret Method even more refined.

While traveling, Mu Chenxi also split her focus to deduce her own ice Secret Method.

Like this, the two of them cultivated as they traveled, carrying the sleeping Bai Yue from night until dawn, flying all the way to the next morning.

On the way, Mu Chenxi became so absorbed in deducing the Secret Method that she momentarily lost awareness, almost crashing into a mountain wall that suddenly appeared ahead while holding Bai Yue.

By the time she reacted, it was too late to dodge completely.

She hurriedly turned, using her back to face the mountain, and slammed into it hard.

Boom!

Mu Chenxi’s entire body was embedded in the mountain wall.

Bai Yue, in her arms, was slammed forcefully into Mu Chenxi’s chest by inertia.

Fortunately, Bai Yue’s physique was extremely special, so the impact was well absorbed and she wasn’t harmed.

Bai Yue wasn’t injured, but she was startled awake by the shock.

She opened her eyes in panic, only to see Mu Chenxi embedded in the mountain wall, still holding her tightly in her arms.

“Chenxi, what happened… are you alright?”

She hurriedly asked, scanning Mu Chenxi up and down for injuries.

“I’m fine, Master.”

Mu Chenxi shook her head gently, her face apologetic.

“I was deducing a Secret Method while flying, and got too absorbed, so I accidentally crashed into the mountain wall.”

“Sorry for waking you, Master.”

“No need to apologize. Are you really okay?”

Bai Yue asked worriedly.

“Master, ever since I comprehended the Dao of Ice, my ice body has become purer and my physique much stronger. An impact like this can’t actually harm me.”

To ease Master’s worries, Mu Chenxi patiently explained.

“Mm, that’s good.”

Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

She had no intention of blaming Chenxi; she fully understood why Mu Chenxi was so anxious.

Now, only six opportunities for Future Descent of Consciousness remained.

Chenxi was desperate to improve her Dao, so being engrossed in deducing Secret Methods and accidentally crashing into the mountain wall was entirely understandable.

Under such immense crisis, all three of them, Master and disciples, were exceptionally exhausted.

Bai Yue pondered, but still couldn’t help but admonish,

“Chenxi, even if you have to face a great battle, you can’t harm your own body.”

“Yes, Master.”

Mu Chenxi nodded seriously.

Of course, she had to maintain her best state to fight the Fire Demon and protect Master.

At this moment, Bai Yue also merged the memories from last night.

The scene of the two of them bathing together in the Sea of Consciousness surfaced in her mind, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Mu Chenxi noticed Bai Yue’s odd expression and looked at her worriedly.

She was afraid that Master, recalling the strange things in the Sea of Consciousness, would have her mental state affected.

However, Bai Yue’s condition seemed stable for now—only blushing.

“Master, did you really merge the memories from the Sea of Consciousness?”

Mu Chenxi decided to test, as long as it didn’t agitate Bai Yue.

“Yes… I merged them.”

Asked directly by Mu Chenxi, Bai Yue’s cheeks turned even redder.

She remembered how, during the bath, her hand had been restless and she even slapped Mu Chenxi’s butt several times.

Fortunately, Mu Chenxi wouldn’t blame her for it.

She quickly changed the subject to avoid talking about these guilt-inducing matters.

“Chenxi, there’s another strange thing that’s been bothering me.”

“Why did the Head Nurse and several Little Nurses all shrink, and then sneakily crouch at the door watching me?”

“I was just saving a White Mouse. What’s there to secretly watch? They’re really strange.”

Mu Chenxi was stunned.

Master had filtered out her own odd actions again.

She completely forgot about squeezing the White Mouse to death herself and instead was convinced she had saved it.

“Those nurses were a bit strange, but I don’t know the reason either.”

“But Master, I think they probably didn’t have any bad intentions.”

Although Mu Chenxi didn’t correct Master’s mistake, she still spoke fairly for the nurses.

From the start, the nurses had never harmed Master, and had even helped, more like taking care of Master in the Sea of Consciousness.

“I really can’t make sense of these strange things.”

Bai Yue scratched her head.

“Never mind, we’ll figure it out someday.”

Mu Chenxi comforted her softly, then reminded her,

“Master, you were startled awake by me and probably didn’t rest enough. Please continue to rest.”

Bai Yue felt that she couldn’t force herself to let Mu Chenxi enter the Sea of Consciousness right now, so she could only nod helplessly.

She leaned back into Mu Chenxi’s arms, closed her eyes, and continued to rest.

Mu Chenxi, with Su Qiuyue inside her body, focused on cultivation as she continued Sword Flight.

Of course, she didn’t neglect her own Dao cultivation.

By evening, Bai Yue habitually woke up again.

She was still exhausted, but forced herself to stay alert, preparing for Mu Chenxi’s Future Descent of Consciousness.

Mu Chenxi’s understanding of the Dao had deepened, and Su Qiuyue’s Soul Path Secret Technique had become even more refined.

This time, both of them had more confidence in facing the Fire Demon.

As night fell, Mu Chenxi once again descended into the Future with her consciousness.

In the Future, Bai Yue remained unconscious, having spent too much energy helping Mu Chenxi enter the Sea of Consciousness.

Mu Chenxi held Bai Yue tightly in her arms, then turned to Su Qiuyue.

Su Qiuyue nodded at her.

Then, Su Qiuyue’s Remnant Soul transformed into a stream of light and entered Mu Chenxi’s body.

This time, Su Qiuyue planned to hide inside Mu Chenxi and avoid being detected by the Fire Demon as much as possible.

Mu Chenxi would feign weakness and continue the previous plan of delaying.

Soon, a pitch-black Space Rift appeared in the sky again, and the Fire Demon descended as expected.

As before, Mu Chenxi was the first to unleash ordinary Nascent Soul Sword Qi.

The Fire Demon, still impatient, blocked the attack, then charged straight at Mu Chenxi.

Su Qiuyue secretly formed the Sword of Surprising Flight in Mu Chenxi’s hand, beginning to resist the Fire Demon’s attacks.

At first, the Fire Demon didn’t increase its strength, and the two fought back and forth.

But gradually, the Fire Demon sensed something was wrong and began to increase its power while probing Mu Chenxi’s secrets.

The Fire Demon detected a Remnant Soul of the Dao Querying stage hidden within her.

“With just a Dao Querying stage Remnant Soul, you think you can defeat me?”
