Chapter 49: Faceless Nurse

Although Mu Chenxi felt puzzled in her heart, she guessed that this warm water could nourish the soul and stood up, walking to Bai Yue.

“Sit here.”

Bai Yue patted her own thigh, indicating for her to sit in her lap.

Mu Chenxi’s delicate face flushed red, and she sat down stiffly.

It was her first time sitting on Bai Yue’s soft lap like this.

Sitting felt soft and floaty.

“Good girl, open your mouth～”

Bai Yue spoke softly, coaxing her like a child.

Mu Chenxi obediently opened her mouth, allowing Bai Yue to feed the warm water from the cup into her mouth.

A warm sensation instantly spread throughout her body, and her damaged soul was indeed nourished.

Mu Chenxi marveled inwardly.

Her guess was correct—this water truly could nourish her soul.

“How do you feel? Much better, right?”

Bai Yue asked gently, raising her hand to softly pat Mu Chenxi’s shapely backside.

“Master, I feel fine now.”

Mu Chenxi said, already preparing to leave the Sea of Consciousness.

In the past, after each treatment in the Sea of Consciousness, she would always be sent out by Bai Yue.

But this time, unexpectedly, Bai Yue did not send her away.

Instead, she pressed her beautiful face against Mu Chenxi’s chest, as if listening to her heartbeat.

“Thump, thump, thump……”

Mu Chenxi’s heart was indeed beating several times faster than usual.

And at that moment, a “thump thump” knocking sound came from outside.

“Is anyone inside?”

A strange woman’s voice sounded.

Mu Chenxi’s heart trembled.

Could there be others in the Sea of Consciousness?

Bai Yue also jerked her head up at the sound of the knocking, her expression filled with panic.

“This is bad, a bad person outside wants to come in, let’s hide quickly!”

She hurriedly stood up, pulling Mu Chenxi under the table with her.

In the cramped space, the two pressed tightly together, and Bai Yue’s soft mass pressed against Mu Chenxi’s face, making it hard for her to breathe.

Master’s Sea of Consciousness was still so real—even the feeling of suffocation was so vivid.

But now was not the time to focus on such feelings. Who could enter Master’s Sea of Consciousness?

Creak.

The door opened.

The strange woman’s voice sounded again.

“Bai Yue, are you there? Don’t hide. Remember to take your medicine on time.”

Tap, tap…tap, tap…

The sound of sandals on the floor drew closer.

Mu Chenxi turned her head with difficulty, peering out through the gap under the table.

The woman’s voice repeated.

“Bai Yue, I know you’re here. Come out and take your medicine.”

This time, Mu Chenxi could see the newcomer clearly.

The woman was wearing a white Nurse Uniform, but her face was empty—without any features.

This bizarre sight sent a chill through Mu Chenxi’s heart.

She quickly looked at Bai Yue, seeking answers from her Master.

But Bai Yue pressed her finger to her red lips, making a “shh” gesture.

It was clear Bai Yue didn’t want the Faceless Nurse to discover them.

Mu Chenxi immediately understood and held her breath, making no sound.

“Strange, I was sure I heard something. Was it my imagination?”

The Faceless Nurse complained, then muttered, “Bai Yue really is troublesome.”

After that, she stepped away in her sandals with a “tap tap,” and the door closed with another “creak.”

Only after the footsteps faded did Bai Yue breathe a sigh of relief.

“The bad person is finally gone.”

“Master, was that faceless woman just now the bad person?”

Mu Chenxi asked.

“Yes, she always says I’m sick and tries to force me to take medicine.”

Bai Yue nodded.

“Then I’ll go deal with her!”

Mu Chenxi didn’t want her Master to be bullied and tried to get up at once, not even considering if she could handle the nurse.

“No need. She can’t catch me, don’t risk it.”

Bai Yue hurriedly pulled her back, shaking her head.

She wanted to say more to Mu Chenxi in the cramped space, but saw Mu Chenxi’s body gradually becoming transparent.

The time limit in the Sea of Consciousness was up.

“Chenxi, remember to visit me more often.”

Bai Yue quickly reminded her, reluctantly patting Mu Chenxi’s shapely backside.

“Okay, don’t worry, Master, I…”

Mu Chenxi replied softly, her face blushing.

Her Master was being very affectionate with her.

Before she could say more, her body completely dissipated, and her consciousness withdrew from Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.

So, there was a time limit for her stay in her Master’s Sea of Consciousness.

When Mu Chenxi’s consciousness returned to her body, she found Bai Yue’s soft body leaning against her.

Seeing Bai Yue’s tired expression, Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but gently stroke her cheek.

She recalled the strange scene she had encountered in her Master’s Sea of Consciousness.

Why had a faceless woman appeared?

The feeling was truly bizarre, and Bai Yue’s fear of the woman made Mu Chenxi uneasy.

It seemed the woman wasn’t easy to deal with.

“I really am still too weak. Even in my own Master’s Sea of Consciousness, I have to hide. I can’t protect her properly at all.”

Mu Chenxi clenched her pink fist in determination, her desire to grow stronger growing ever more intense.

She picked up the still-sleeping Bai Yue and headed straight toward the small hill where Su Qiuyue’s Remnant Soul resided.

She planned to meet Su Qiuyue as soon as possible and use her power to further enhance her own strength.

With this goal in mind, Mu Chenxi continued traveling through the night.

She gently formed a Qi Condensation Barrier around Bai Yue so she could rest peacefully.

Bai Yue didn’t wake until midday the next day.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Chenxi still traveling through the air and simultaneously remembered everything from the previous night in the Sea of Consciousness.

It left Bai Yue dumbfounded.

Why had a strange Faceless Nurse appeared in her own Sea of Consciousness?

It had truly startled her.

Recalling her own words in the Sea of Consciousness—”If we hide, it’s fine”—she felt a bit more at ease.

She absolutely couldn’t let the Faceless Nurse catch her.

If the Faceless Nurse forced her to take strange medicine and turned her into an idiot, it would be a disaster.

Actually, Bai Yue seemed to have selectively ignored one detail—the outfit she wore in her own Sea of Consciousness was bizarre to begin with.

A hospital gown under a Doctor’s Coat would look normal to Mu Chenxi, who lived in the cultivation world, but as a transmigrator, Bai Yue had somehow overlooked it too.

Bai Yue focused all her thoughts on the problem of the Faceless Nurse.

“Master, you’re awake? How do you feel?”

Mu Chenxi asked as soon as she saw her eyes open.

“I feel good. I’ve rested enough.”

Bai Yue paused, unable to hold back her question.

“The Faceless Nurse in my Sea of Consciousness last night… was it real? Did you see it too?”

She found it hard to believe such a strange thing could exist in her own Sea of Consciousness.

“I saw it. So it’s called a nurse?”

Mu Chenxi was a little stunned.

“Yes, a nurse is like a healer’s assistant—similar to a junior physician here. As for why she appeared in your Sea of Consciousness, I have no idea.”

Bai Yue explained.

The sudden appearance of the Faceless Nurse left a worried look on her delicate face.

She worried she might become a burden to her disciple.

“Don’t worry, Master. When my spiritual sense grows stronger, I’ll destroy or drive out that Faceless Nurse so you won’t be in danger.”

Mu Chenxi comforted her softly.
