Ye Guyi did this every night during this period to alleviate her longing for Xu Zihuang.
When she opened her eyes, her delicate face was flushed.
Just then, a feeling of unease inexplicably arose in her heart.
Sensing something, Ye Guyi got up and went to the windowsill. What came into view was the vast, boundless sea, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks could be clearly heard.
However, the palpitation soon subsided, her slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her gaze became unfocused.
More than seven months have passed since they parted ways in Mingdu. In less than five months, she and Xu Zihuang will meet again at Shrek Academy as promised.
After more than half a year of seclusion, Ye Guyi successfully broke through the bottleneck of level 70. Once she obtains her seventh spirit ring, the power of her Sacred Angel Martial Soul will undergo a qualitative leap.
"Zihuang, I will help you get back everything you have lost." Ye Guyi murmured softly, a dazzling golden light appearing in her golden eyes, filling her with a sense of holiness and sanctity.
It's hard to imagine that Ye Guyi, who is now so noble and aloof, would have previously shown such a somewhat pathetic side.
Silent all night.
The golden sun rises from the eastern coastline.
"Whoosh—whoosh—" The waves crashed against the rocks, and the air was damp. Orange groggily woke up and found herself on a huge rock. The rock was uneven, but its area was at least three hundred square meters.
In the instant she regained consciousness, she suddenly raised her head and looked around.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Upon discovering Xu Zihuang lying beside her, she quickly bent down to check on him. Only after confirming that Xu Zihuang's vital signs were normal did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, constantly observing the outside world from within Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea, saw Ju Zi showing such genuine concern for Xu Zihuang and immediately transformed into the most affectionate being in the Soul Beast Realm, letting out a soft sigh.
"I hope Zihuang will treat this girl better in the future. True feelings should not be betrayed."
Immediately, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's consciousness immersed itself in Xu Zihuang's second sea of consciousness. Having exhausted its energy the previous night, the Silver Scale White Whale returned to Xu Zihuang's second sea of consciousness to continue nurturing its spiritual awareness. It was unlikely to awaken anytime soon.
Next, it must be extremely vigilant. Despite being nourished by the Gold of Life, Xu Zihuang suffered a trauma to his soul, as well as the enormous side effects of using the Gold-level Body Martial Soul for a second awakening, leaving his body severely overtaxed.
Tianmeng couldn't say for sure how long Xu Zihuang would need to fully recover; it would depend on the situation.
Outside, Ju Zi carried Xu Zihuang on her back, her face flushed, clearly struggling. Her long, black hair was disheveled and draped loosely over her shoulders.
Xu Zihuang's muscle and bone density are abnormal, and although he looks somewhat thin, his weight is surprisingly large.
However, Ju Zi is still a six-ring Soul Emperor. Although her cultivation level was forcibly increased by drugs, her physique is still much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Orange remained calm, carrying Xu Zihuang step by step to the center of the reef. She then set up a cowhide tent to protect him from the sea breeze. The tent's color was very similar to the reef's, both being dark brown, making it difficult to spot from a distance.
She gently removed all of Xu Zihuang's clothes and hung them on the tent to dry in the sea breeze.
Changing into dry clothes would definitely make Yu Tianhuang more comfortable.
Back in the tent, in such close proximity to the completely naked Yu Tianhuang, Ju Zi couldn't help but feel her cheeks burning as she recalled what had happened in the top deck room of the Hailong ship the previous night, her gaze lingering on a certain spot.
She still vividly remembers that suffocating feeling.
Chapter 320 Setting Off Again
Ju Zi carefully dried Xu Zihuang's body, touching every inch of his skin.
Then, he carefully took out dry and clean bedding from the storage soul tool and moved Xu Zihuang into it.
Despite being forced into this predicament by that terrifyingly powerful whale, she now feels a sense of relief.
Fortunately, she and Yu Tianhuang are still alive, and fortunately, she can have Yu Tianhuang by herself for a longer period of time.
However, Orange knew that the most important thing right now was to ensure the safety of the two of them. Taking a deep breath, she quickly stepped out of the tent. The orange-red bracelet on her right wrist shone brightly as she took out several soul tools and set up a defensive position around them.
This also includes several newly developed soul-detecting devices from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. These devices will immediately sound an alarm if any soul beasts or other uninvited guests approach.
Moreover, these detection soul tools utilize sealed baby bottle technology. They do not require soul masters to inject soul power; they can be powered entirely by the soul power stored in the sealed baby bottle, and can operate continuously for at least a month.
Xuan Ziwen eventually mastered the technology of sealing baby bottles. Once mastered, Mingde Hall began to try combining it with some soul tools.
The most successful combination is this soul-guided detector.
These are all top secrets; the Sun Moon Empire has not revealed a single detail. Orange was able to access them ahead of time because of her special status.
These soul-guided detection devices were originally equipped by Orange to deal with the Demon Crocodile Pirate Crew. Now they're proving useful.
After doing all this, Ju Zi returned to the tent, stretched out her right hand, and gently stroked Xu Zihuang's cheek with tender eyes.
"Tianhuang, this is the third time you've saved me."
When she was unconscious, she saw the silver crystal released by Yu Tianhuang using his head soul bone skill. Although she didn't know what happened afterward, she was certain that Yu Tianhuang had led her to escape from the brink of death.
If Yu Tianhuang hadn't intervened to protect her, how could she have survived unharmed?
Before she turned twenty, there was only one man in her heart: her father. The father who gave her a wonderful childhood, but whose life was taken by war. But now, Yu Tianhuang's image had unknowingly seeped into her heart.
Touching Xu Zihuang's now cold body, Ju Zi snapped out of her daze and crawled into the blankets without hesitation.
She took off her clothes one by one, clinging them tightly to Xu Zihuang, trying to warm him with her own body heat.
"Oh, what a wonderful girl."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, residing within Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea, sighed deeply, deeply moved. Before the orange could make a move, it had deliberately avoided releasing its spiritual power inside the cowhide tent. Sensing the commotion in the nearby sea, it smacked its lips with a hint of envy.
"I wonder when I'll be able to get this close with Bingbing."
Compared to when he used his Gold-level Body Martial Soul for a second awakening in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Xu Zihuang suffered a much more severe backlash this time.
He remained in a coma for more than half a month. During this time, Orange took care of him personally.
They encountered several attacks from sea spirit beasts, but fortunately, those beasts were not strong and were easily repelled by Ju Zi using her spirit tool. Judging from the cultivation levels of those beasts, they seemed to have already left the deep sea area.
Above a vast, boundless, golden ocean, a figure slowly emerged. It was Xu Zihuang's consciousness projection within the Sea of Spirit.
As consciousness returned, the confusion in his deep purple eyes faded, and his original brilliance returned. Looking around his sea of consciousness, he found that it, which had previously shown signs of collapse, had become stable again.
Xu Zihuang was not surprised, because everything was within his expectations.
With a spiritual attribute soul core residing between the eyebrows, the spiritual sea can generally repair itself unless it collapses instantly.
"Zihuang?! You've finally regained consciousness!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's joyful voice rang out from all directions. Immediately, a golden ocean surged, and specks of golden light floated up, forming the shape of its body.
Its long, white body, hundreds of meters long, twitched slightly, and it raised its chubby head, its small, golden eyes revealing a hint of anthropomorphic excitement.
Xu Zihuang smiled slightly and landed on the head of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his expression full of emotion.
"Tianmeng, thank you for your help during this time."
"Actually, I haven't done much during this time," Tianmeng Bingcan said, shaking his head sheepishly and sighing softly.
"I'll send you images of what happened while you were unconscious."
As he spoke, a golden light separated from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's main body and merged into Xu Zihuang's brow.
Scenes flashed through Xu Zihuang's mind like a fleeting glimpse.
It started with the silver-scaled white whale that brought them to this huge reef, followed by the meticulous care of the orange, and the process of the golden creature in his second sea of consciousness replenishing his life force.
With the nourishment of the life-giving gold, his body and spiritual sea have been fully restored.
During this time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm remained conscious and casually recorded these scenes.
"Zihuang, your body and spiritual sea are fine now. However, your injured soul will need some time to recover. Fortunately, your spiritual power has reached the realm of tangible substance, making your soul relatively stable, so the consequences weren't too severe. In the future, try to use the Soul Barrier skill as little as possible. This skill is powerful, but it also carries a lot of risk."
Listening to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's instructions, Xu Zihuang shook his head helplessly.
“Tianmeng, you’ve overlooked a very important point. That is, I only use this Soul Bone skill when I’m on the verge of desperation. But now that we’ve come to this point, do you think I still need to consider these things?”
"Moreover, this soul skill is actually more powerful than you imagine. Among all attributes, only lightning and destruction attributes can suppress the soul power within the soul barrier, and these happen to be the two attributes possessed by my second martial soul, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon. In this world, I don't think there are any human soul masters or soul beasts who can suppress me in these two attributes. The reason I suffered a great loss in front of that deep-sea demon whale was simply because the difference in our cultivation levels was too great."
“Zihuang, what you’re saying makes perfect sense.” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm paused for a moment, then nodded in deep agreement.
"I can sense that guy's cultivation level is almost comparable to that bastard, God Tian."
Xu Zihuang smiled noncommittally, and couldn't help but recall the scenes he had seen when he used his Martial Soul True Body.
But he will need to verify the specifics in the future.
At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have thought of something and chuckled mischievously, "Well, let's stop here for today. Zihuang, I won't disturb your good time. I'm going to sleep now. Anyway, now that your consciousness has returned, you can mobilize the spiritual power in your spiritual sea, so you shouldn't have any problem protecting yourself. You don't need me anymore."
After saying that, the enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm turned into specks of light and disappeared into the Sea of Spirit.
Xu Zihuang's consciousness returned to his body, and he regained control of his body.
Of the five senses, touch was the first to return; he felt a warm, soft jade in his arms.
Xu Zihuang opened and closed her eyes, her gaze moving upwards to meet a stunningly beautiful face that showed signs of fatigue. Even in the dim light of the tent, her fair and delicate skin still possessed a translucent quality, moist and radiant.
"Oranges," Xu Zihuang murmured softly, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression.
Orange's eyes were closed, but she was actually always awake. After all, the sea was too dangerous, and she had to be vigilant at all times. Hearing Xu Zihuang's murmur, she suddenly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes brushing against Xu Zihuang's forehead.
Their eyes met, and the surprise in Orange's eyes was even greater than that of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Tianhuang, you're awake?!"
"Hmm." Xu Zihuang responded softly, trying to sit up, but found that he could not control his body or the soul power within him.
Upon realizing this, he understood that it was the effect of a traumatized soul. His consciousness and body were out of sync.
Currently, he can only control the spiritual power within his Sea of Spirit and Second Sea of Consciousness. However, as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, simply mobilizing the vast spiritual power within these two Seas of Spirit is enough to protect himself in this area.
Seeing Xu Zihuang's brows furrow slightly, Ju Zi quickly hugged him tightly and asked anxiously, "Tianhuang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
This time, the unusual sensation of skin friction was even more pronounced. Only then did Xu Zihuang realize that Ju Zi inside the blanket was completely naked.
"Ju Zi, I'm fine. I just can't control my body right now, but it'll be fine in a while."
Xu Zihuang's voice sounded somewhat unnatural. He was indeed unable to control his body, but his body's instinctive reactions were still present, and even stronger. Most importantly, he was also completely naked.
"Then don't force yourself, don't move around. I'll go prepare breakfast, you should rest and recuperate for now." Orange breathed a slight sigh of relief, got up and crawled out of bed. She turned her back to Xu Zihuang and began to dress, her hunched figure revealing a perfect curve.
He completely ignored Xu Zihuang's gaze.
In less than fifteen minutes, Orange returned, carrying a steaming bowl of meat porridge.
She scooped it up with a spoon, blew on it, and then put it into Xu Zihuang's mouth.
However, Ju Zi soon noticed that Yu Tianhuang seemed to have difficulty even swallowing. So, under Xu Zihuang's gaze, she naturally took a sip of the meat porridge and then leaned closer.
They assisted Xu Zihuang in eating in this more ambiguous way.
Noticing the strange look in Xu Zihuang's eyes, Ju Zi stopped what she was doing and smiled gently.
