Something’s not right.
She had never worn glasses before—only the version of herself in the Sea of Consciousness wore black-rimmed glasses.
What kind of subconscious behavior was this?
Just this alone was enough to make Bai Yue astonished, but what baffled her even more came after.
In her mind, countless profound insights into the Dao had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
She was just a small cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet she possessed Dao Insight far beyond her cultivation—utterly ridiculous.
It was like asking a kindergartener to understand and master calculus—both absurd and unbelievable.
Bai Yue scratched her head, feeling more and more like she couldn’t understand herself.
But… this seemed like a good thing…
Probably a good thing… right?
Becoming stranger within herself left Bai Yue inexplicably uneasy, so she could only silently comfort herself in her heart.
“Master, are you alright?”
Mu Chenxi saw her expression shifting unpredictably and couldn’t help but ask in concern.
“I’m fine.”
Bai Yue looked up at Mu Chenxi.
Everything that happened in the Sea of Consciousness surged to her mind, and two pink flushes slowly bloomed on her cheeks.
She spoke a bit apologetically.
“Chenxi, I’m sorry, inside the Sea of Consciousness… I…”
Mu Chenxi naturally knew what Bai Yue meant.
Her delicate face instantly blushed, and she subconsciously replied softly.
“Master, I… I did it willingly…”
As her words fell, her face grew even redder, almost dripping with blood.
For a moment, the small temporary cave abode fell into complete silence, a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere flowing quietly between them.
Bai Yue snuck a glance at Mu Chenxi, only to meet her gaze head-on.
Those icy blue eyes were clear yet shy, and Bai Yue felt as if she’d been electrocuted, quickly averting her eyes as her heart pounded wildly.
No, no, this atmosphere isn’t good at all.
I need to say something—anything—to break this awkward deadlock.
Bai Yue tried to steady her heartbeat, racking her brain desperately.
Since she gained Dao Insight far beyond her cultivation this time, did that mean she could also master condensing Dan Medicine from Cold Qi, like before?
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.
She raised her palm and tried to mobilize the Cold Qi within her body.
Sure enough, faint threads of Cold Qi slowly appeared, gathering in her palm into a small Icy Qi Orb.
Bai Yue’s beautiful eyes widened, both shocked and overjoyed.
She could really control Cold Qi and condense it into ice!
Although the Cold Qi accumulated in her body was still weak and couldn’t form a Dan Medicine yet…
But this was proof that the self that emerged in the Sea of Consciousness could truly be fused and absorbed!
If so, this Golden Finger was truly heaven-defying!
If Chenxi entered her Sea of Consciousness every day, creating more versions of herself for her to fuse with, wouldn’t she become invincible in the world one day?
Tears welled up.
She had suffered so much over the years—as a Transmigrator, aside from her beauty, she was the textbook example of being broke and miserable.
But finally, her Golden Finger, her Hand-brother, had arrived!
This heaven-defying Golden Finger!
Bai Yue’s heart surged with excitement.
She almost wanted to shout to the sky: “Hand-brother, give me a buff!”
“Master, are you really alright…”
Mu Chenxi watched Bai Yue’s expression shift from shock to silly grinning, even with a bit of crystal drool at the corner of her mouth, and grew even more worried.
She couldn’t help but reach out, using her clean sleeve to gently wipe the drool from her Master’s lips.
“I’m fine…”
Having her Disciple wipe her drool on the spot, Bai Yue’s toes curled with embarrassment.
“Chenxi, look at this Icy Qi Orb in my hand.”
Bai Yue hurriedly raised her hand, forcefully redirecting Mu Chenxi’s attention to relieve her own embarrassment.
Sure enough, Mu Chenxi’s gaze was drawn over.
When she saw the small Icy Qi Orb in Bai Yue’s palm, her beautiful eyes also widened.
“Master, this is… the Cold Qi inside you?”
“Yes, Chenxi. This Cold Qi should be useful to you. Quickly, see if you can absorb it.”
Bai Yue urged her.
“Alright.”
Mu Chenxi nodded, extending her hand as instructed.
As her fingertips gently touched the Icy Qi Orb in Bai Yue’s palm, the Cold Qi seemed to come alive, actively flowing into her body along her finger and being rapidly absorbed.
“It really can be absorbed. That’s great.”
Bai Yue couldn’t hide her joy.
“Yes, Master.”
Mu Chenxi nodded as well, her eyes full of happiness.
Even if the power increase each time was small, as long as Master could generate new Icy Qi every day, accumulating over time, their strength would surely grow steadily.
Suddenly, Bai Yue remembered something crucial and excitedly shared with Mu Chenxi.
“Chenxi, I gained this ability to control Icy Qi by fusing with the self produced in the Sea of Consciousness!”
“If you enter my Sea of Consciousness every day from now on, I can master even more new abilities! Even mysterious things like Dao Insight, I can absorb and comprehend! This is a gift from the heavens!”
Hearing this, Mu Chenxi’s eyes lit up with dazzling brilliance, and she nodded repeatedly.
She was already looking forward to the next time she entered her Master’s Sea of Consciousness.
After rejoicing over their unexpected gains, the Master and Disciple began discussing strategies for the next time their consciousnesses descended into the future.
Previously, in the rush to let Mu Chenxi enter the Sea of Consciousness for healing, Bai Yue hadn’t known about Mu Chenxi’s past experiences in the future.
Mu Chenxi reached out, gently placing her hand on Bai Yue’s forehead, slowly sharing the images from her memories.
Only then did Bai Yue see Su Qiuyue’s past and finally learned the truth of Mu Chenxi’s parents’ deaths.
Her heart clenched in pain.
She gripped Mu Chenxi’s jade-like hand tightly, eyes filled with sorrow.
“Chenxi, don’t be sad. From now on, Master will accompany you to seek vengeance on that man named Yue Shanming. We must personally eliminate this vile hypocrite!”
After a pause, Bai Yue suddenly proposed.
“By the way, perhaps we don’t need to become enemies with Su Qiuyue. Is it possible to cooperate with her? After all, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ We share the same foe.”
“I… I’ll try to persuade her.”
Mu Chenxi nodded in agreement.
Having suffered similarly, she felt a bit of sympathy for Su Qiuyue and didn’t truly wish to become enemies.
“But if you can’t persuade her, you mustn’t hesitate. Never let yourself suffer a loss.”
Bai Yue quickly added, her tone filled with worry for her Disciple.
“I understand, Master.”
Mu Chenxi nodded again.
In her heart, gaining the strength to protect her Master would always come first.
As for whether she and Su Qiuyue could turn from enemies to allies, that would depend on fate.
Recalling Su Qiuyue’s crazed, violent appearance, Mu Chenxi didn’t hold out much hope.
