Bai Wei hurried to the jade bed, her expression excited and her face filled with concern.
"Meng Yu, you're finally awake."
Seeing her master beside her, the anger in Qiao Mengyu's eyes faded, only to be replaced by a trace of confusion.
She pushed herself upright, but a sharp pain immediately shot through her sea of consciousness. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she instinctively raised a hand to her forehead.
"Master, what happened?"
Bai Wei said, "Cultivating your second primordial spirit severely injured your soul and left you unconscious. Your soul was so weak that it was in danger of dispersing. I tried all manner of methods, but none could restore it, so I had no choice but to ask Gou Jun to heal you."
Only then did Qiao Mengyu understand.
Although she knew that "Gou Jun" had treated the injuries to her master's sea of consciousness, she knew nothing of the treatment itself.
So when "Gou Jun" treated someone's soul injuries, he actually had to lie on top of them, with their mouths and noses touching.
Qiao Mengyu unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, where a little warmth still lingered.
A moment later, seemingly feeling uncomfortable, she raised a hand and wiped her mouth.
"Thank you, Senior Gou Jun." Qiao Mengyu distinguished gratitude from grudges and did not dwell on the liberties taken during the treatment. "I didn't understand the circumstances earlier and offended you. Please forgive me, Senior."
Song Wen said, "There is no blame in ignorance, Miss Qiao. You needn't take it to heart. However, although you've awakened, your soul has yet to recover fully. Shall I continue the treatment?"
Before Qiao Mengyu could answer, Bai Wei spoke first.
"Of course you should continue. We can't afford the slightest carelessness where the soul is concerned."
