Help, Seeing Xun Er in an Illusion
Xiao Tian controlled his Soul Power to shatter the Illusion Spirit Power within the Medicinal Liquid. Her Soul Body consciousness returned, and she even showed a faint look of relief on her face.
"Focus your mind and body; I will assist you in absorbing the Medicinal Liquid."
Xiao Tian directly poured his Soul Power into her soul, preparing to guide her to absorb it.
When Xiao Tian's Soul Power touched her soul, she felt a warm and powerful force surge into her body, instantly dispelling the pain in her soul.
Xiao Tian controlled his Soul Power to make the Medicinal Liquid flow slowly through her soul, repairing her damaged soul.
As the Medicinal Liquid gradually decreased, she felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.
As time passed, the Medicinal Liquid was completely absorbed, her soul wounds were completely healed, and her entire Soul Body became incredibly solid.
"As expected, he is at the Mortal Realm Peak."
Seeing that there were no other problems, Xiao Tian's soul withdrew from her Consciousness Space.
About five minutes later, she opened her eyes, which were bright and alert, and even her pale complexion had become much rosier.
She felt her soul refreshed, filled with vitality and life. She looked at Xiao Tian gratefully and instinctively hugged Xiao Tian, saying, "Thank you, it's like you saved me again."
"It's nothing, and you've already paid me, so we're even."
Xiao Tian sensed her excitement. She was naturally confident and strong, and this lack of weakness terrified her.
"Okay, my clothes are all wet."
Xiao Tian gently patted her shoulder and joked softly.
Upon hearing this, she sprang from Xiao Tian like a spring, her face instantly turning bright red, down to her ears, like a boiled crab.
She lowered her head, turned around, not daring to look at Xiao Tian, gently wiped away the tears of emotion and joy that streamed down her face, and whispered.
"I only did that out of gratitude and excitement. Please don't overthink it. Thank you."
"Besides, I didn't shed any tears."
"Yes, whatever you say."
Xiao Tian stopped teasing her, leaned against the tree hollow, and looked at her back before asking, "How are you feeling now?"
"My soul has now fully recovered, and I feel no discomfort. In fact, my soul has grown considerably."
She cast aside her shyness and carefully examined the state of her body and soul.
"The growth is because you overcame your previous trauma and built a new foundation, plus you absorbed the Illusion Spirit Power of the Medicinal Liquid. If you develop this Illusion Spirit Power in the future, you might gain unexpected benefits."
While Xiao Tian was helping her recover, his own soul also absorbed a small amount of Illusion Spirit Power. If this Illusion Spirit Power were added to Soul Skill, it might be able to create an illusion and distract the opponent.
"Indeed, this could be considered a blessing in disguise. How are you?"
She turned around, looked at his pale face, and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, just normal soul and mental exertion. A night's rest will do the trick."
The process of administering the Medicinal Liquid must be done with extreme care; a single mistake could damage the souls of both individuals.
"Then you should rest. My soul has recovered; I'll keep watch. And you should eat this."
She produced a Jade Bottle and handed it to Xiao Tian.
"This is Fourth Grade Pill, the Spirit Nourishing Pill, specifically for restoring vitality and spirit."
Xiao Tian accepted the Jade Bottle without ceremony, poured out one of the pills, and swallowed it.
"Keep the rest; they're all for you."
She saw Xiao Tian give the rest to her, shook her head, and spoke with a gentle smile.
"Okay, consider it extra payment from you. Tonight's yours."
Xiao Tian put away the Jade Bottle, glanced at her, and then slowly closed his eyes to rest and recover.
She sat opposite Xiao Tian, her slender body gently leaning against the tree wall, her gaze soft and focused on Xiao Tian's sleeping face.
He crossed his arms over his chest, lost in thought, with a faint smile occasionally flickering in his eyes.
Day 4 of the Secret Realm.
In the early morning, rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves.
Xiao Tian slowly opened his eyes from his sleep. A night's rest had fully restored his energy.
You're awake!
A soft voice sounded in his ear.
Xiao Tian raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
"Yes, you worked hard last night."
"It's nothing, it's what I should do, and it's not a matter of whether it's hard or not."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian smiled, stood up, stretched his body, and made crackling sounds.
After a quick wash and a light meal, the two continued their journey deeper into the forest.
"We haven't encountered a single person along the way; this place must be very large."
Xiao Tian learned from her previous introduction that quite a few people had come in this time.
"That's a bit strange; there aren't even any signs of anyone having walked by."
Xuan Qingying frowned her beautiful brows, looked around, and spoke.
As the two continued their journey, they encountered illusions more and more frequently, some of which even nearly caused Xiao Tian to fall into a trap.
Fortunately, they harvested a lot of good medicinal herbs, and even found two kinds of herbs for the Marrow Cleansing Pill: Fire Cloud Fruit and Secluded Orchid Flower.
The results were basically split equally between the two, as everyone contributed their efforts and made the most of their strengths.
As they spent more time together, they gradually became very good friends and trusted each other completely.
Meanwhile, in a valley somewhere in the Secret Realm, two figures with horns on their heads, sharp ears, and fangs stood up from their seated positions.
"Brother, it seems this damned restraint has loosened quite a bit; it looks like we'll be able to leave soon."
One of them, who looked a bit younger, spoke up.
"Damn this place. After we complete our mission and our race descends, we'll definitely smash this wretched place to pieces."
The older, strange figure spoke in a muffled voice, his tone filled with cruelty and displeasure.
Xiao Tian and his companion were unaware of these things. They continued walking, and as they went on, the scene before Xiao Tian suddenly changed.
They arrived at a familiar place, their own Xiao Family Courtyard, where a beautiful figure in a Azure Dress stood.
The woman had delicate features, a pretty and playful face, and bright eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts. Her whole demeanor was aloof and indifferent, like a lotus flower, elegant yet pure.
"Xun'er."
"Xiao Tian Gege."
Although he has had many women, the one he loves most in his heart is Xun'er, his childhood sweetheart who has been with him since he was a child.
Upon seeing Xun'er again, Xiao Tian smiled gently, his mind filled with memories of him and Xun'er.
"Alas, though it resembles it, an illusion is still just an illusion, merely having the form."
"But I'm still very grateful that you let me see her again."
Xiao Tian's Soul Power spread out directly, instantly shattering the illusion. The constructed scene was completely destroyed and disappeared.
"Xun'er, wait for me, I'll be there to find you soon."
Xiao Tian opened his eyes, the smile on his lips vanishing instantly. He turned around and looked at the woman beside him.
Her expressions kept changing, like a face-changing act, showing fear, laughter, even a slight blush and anger.
Xiao Tian secretly regretted that if there were a recording, she might be able to experience social death later.
You wouldn't want your embarrassing photos leaked out, would you? Hehehe.
"Wake up."
Seeing that she was unable to break free for a long time, and seemed to be engrossed in the experience, Xiao Tian forcibly awakened her with his Soul Power.
"It was just an illusion! I didn't even realize it."
She instantly snapped out of it and spoke in a daze.
"By the way, I'm really curious about what you saw in the illusion. Your expression changed more than a dozen times."
