The feeling of her cheek pressed against Master’s skirt.
Soft, but not greasy…
While Mu Chenxi was still savoring it, Su Qiuyue looked at her in confusion.
What exactly did Chenxi do in Master’s Sea of Consciousness?
Why does she look so… blissful?
Su Qiuyue felt like a little cat was scratching her heart, curiosity gnawing at her.
But then she thought, why am I even concerned about this?
Focus on the important matters.
She called “Chenxi” three times before finally pulling Mu Chenxi out of her reverie.
Mu Chenxi’s thoughts were interrupted. She looked at Su Qiuyue in a fluster, her expression bewildered, her ears burning with embarrassment.
“Chenxi, nothing happened to you in Master’s Sea of Consciousness, right? Is your soul fully restored?”
Su Qiuyue asked.
“Mm, I’ve recovered inside the Sea of Consciousness.”
Mu Chenxi didn’t take the initiative to share the scenes from the Sea of Consciousness.
Su Qiuyue, curious as she was, couldn’t force her to show them.
“Let’s keep moving then.”
Su Qiuyue said seriously.
Mu Chenxi nodded.
She picked up the still-unconscious Bai Yue, and Su Qiuyue returned to her body.
The three of them continued toward their destination.
By midday the next day, they finally returned to Bai Yue’s former residence, the place in front of the Jade Coffin where Yan Hua was.
Su Qiuyue quickly emerged from Mu Chenxi’s body and tried several methods to awaken Yan Hua early, but all failed.
Just as Chenxi had said before, Yan Hua looked no different from ordinary people, but in reality, she was worlds apart.
So even besides Master, Senior Sister Yan Hua was also this strange.
Bai Yue hadn’t woken up yet, so Mu Chenxi and Su Qiuyue continued cultivating inside the cave, quietly waiting for night to fall.
As night approached, Bai Yue finally woke up.
She saw the Jade Coffin at a glance, got down from Mu Chenxi’s arms, walked to the coffin, and gently stroked Yan Hua’s cheek, her tone tinged with regret.
“So, Qiuyue, you tried to wake Yan Hua already?”
Of course, Bai Yue also held a shred of hope.
“I did, Master.”
Su Qiuyue shook her head.
“Senior Sister Yan Hua truly is special. I can’t even explain why she’s unconscious.”
“It’s all right, I expected as much.”
Bai Yue comforted, then continued,
“The sky’s almost dark. Are you two ready?”
“Don’t worry, Master. We’re definitely stronger than last time.”
Su Qiuyue was the first to speak.
“I’ve combined the Thousand Threads, Myriad Thoughts Secret Art with the Future Dao that Chenxi comprehended. My defense will be even stronger this time.”
Mu Chenxi heard this, and her eyes gained a bit more confidence.
She nodded lightly in agreement.
Bai Yue felt reassured, letting Mu Chenxi lean against her lap.
Before long, night fully descended, and Mu Chenxi’s consciousness once again sank into the future.
Upon entering the future battlefield and facing the Fire Demon, Su Qiuyue’s secret art had indeed improved.
The two of them defended against the Fire Demon’s attacks more easily than before, even deliberately conserving their strength.
But when the incense stick’s countdown sounded, the Fire Demon broke through once again.
It actually elevated its Way of the Soul cultivation to the late Enlightenment Stage.
The two could only activate Soulburn Return Essence again, nearly burning out their soul power to barely endure the time of one incense stick.
When consciousness returned to her body, Mu Chenxi opened her eyes to meet Bai Yue’s concerned gaze.
“How was it, Chenxi?”
Bai Yue asked softly.
Mu Chenxi was silent, not daring to answer immediately.
Bai Yue read the answer in her eyes, her tone tinged with pain.
“Still a failure?”
Mu Chenxi nodded gently, then tightly grasped Bai Yue’s hand, transmitting the scenes of the future battle into her mind, and sharing it with Su Qiuyue via a divine thought.
“The Fire Demon can actually rise to late Enlightenment Stage…”
Su Qiuyue muttered, shock filling her eyes.
“His potential is terrifying. He must’ve been a strong Enlightenment Stage cultivator before, only greatly weakened by the laws of this world.”
Bai Yue listened, anxiety welling up in her heart as she looked at Mu Chenxi in worry.
She really didn’t want Mu Chenxi and Su Qiuyue to sacrifice themselves for her.
She wanted everyone to survive.
“Don’t worry, Master.”
Su Qiuyue sensed Bai Yue’s unease and spoke up immediately, her tone carrying a strong cultivator’s pride.
“I can keep getting stronger. In my domain of the Way of the Soul, even if he’s late Enlightenment Stage, I’m confident I can face him. Don’t forget, I once touched a Heavenly Tribulation of the Enlightenment Stage with a mere fragment of my soul.”
Only then did Bai Yue feel a bit more at ease, though her brows were still furrowed.
“I hope… this is the last of the Fire Demon’s upgrades.”
“We only have one chance left…”
“Chenxi, come into my Sea of Consciousness.”
Bai Yue temporarily suppressed her worries and urged Mu Chenxi to enter her Sea of Consciousness.
Mu Chenxi nodded and smoothly sank into Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.
She arrived again at that familiar hospital room.
In the room, Bai Yue was lying asleep on the bed, still unconscious.
At the bedside, a set of bright red Wedding Dress was neatly folded, with a Phoenix Coronet placed on top.
From outside the hospital room, the faint sounds of the Head Nurse scolding a Little Nurse drifted intermittently to Mu Chenxi’s ears.
“Why are you complaining again?”
“It’s not that I want to complain. It’s Bai Yue—she forced me to fold the Wedding Dress for her and insisted it had to be as tidy as a tofu block. If not, she said she’d make my head explode…”
“Bai Yue’s such a bully. She’s making me do military training, even folding tofu blocks.”
“You brat, don’t complain in front of Bai Yue, understand? Next time, help her fold properly. If you can’t do it yourself, get me or another nurse to help.”
“Anything about Bai Yue is no small matter.”
Listening to the scolding outside, Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
Looks like Master was causing quite a bit of trouble for these nurses again.
Still, with these nurses caring for Master in the Sea of Consciousness, she felt much more at ease.
She thought, even if she disappeared, Master could still live well in the Sea of Consciousness.
This Master in a patient’s gown would be properly cared for no matter what.
Thinking this, Mu Chenxi looked at Bai Yue on the bed, eyes tinged with reluctance, and gently reached out to touch her cheek.
At that moment, Bai Yue suddenly puckered her lips and then began to whistle softly.
Mu Chenxi thought she had woken up, and instinctively withdrew her hand, only to realize on closer inspection that Bai Yue was still asleep, just dreaming.
But soon, Mu Chenxi sensed something was off.
Bai Yue’s patient gown pants gradually darkened with dampness, the wetness spreading rapidly.
Mu Chenxi’s eyes widened as she watched the sheets become stained bit by bit, her mouth falling open in shock.
Then, Bai Yue exhaled comfortably and gave a soft hum.
“Woo-hoo~”
In the next second, Bai Yue’s eyelashes quivered gently and her eyes slowly opened.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she sensed Mu Chenxi’s presence, and was about to sit up when she froze and looked down at her pants.
“Huh? Why are my pants wet? Did some Little Nurse play a prank and spill water on my bed?”
Bai Yue frowned, but then remembered that she’d been using the bathroom in her dream.
She hurriedly gave up the idea of calling the Head Nurse to complain.
Such embarrassing things must never be spread, or she’d end up locked in the hospital even longer.
