A Temporary Slumber

Sen Lijiu arrived in this world, where the world consciousness turned him into a fox and sent him into a deep sleep.

Suspended in midair, the mysterious, vast world consciousness let out a long sigh, as though burdened with endless worry and helplessness.

It silently gazed at everything below, inwardly praying that time would linger a little longer.

For something of vital importance was happening at that very moment-whether Camellia could successfully become An'an's Guardian Spirit remained uncertain.

This concerned not only the fates of two individuals, but potentially the balance and course of the entire world.

The world consciousness understood the stakes, yet all it could do was watch silently and hope that everything would ultimately end well.

After all, in this intricate, complicated world, every choice was fraught with uncertainty and challenges.

As he lay in a deep sleep, Magnolia kept an anxious vigil nearby, crossing her hands to summon a Protective Barrier that gently enveloped Sen Lijiu.

Sen Lijiu slept soundly, his tail swishing from time to time and his ears occasionally twitching. With his eyes closed, he seemed perfectly at ease.

Bieyun sighed silently. Looks like this world's world consciousness isn't very well-behaved. It doesn't seem particularly bright, either. If we take it back, will it lower the intelligence of the other world consciousnesses...?

Meanwhile, the world consciousness being bad-mouthed sneezed, rubbed its soft body, and muttered, "Who's talking behind my back?"

When Jun Yi was around, Bieyun could hardly speak without getting in the way of the two of them growing closer. Now that Jun Yi was gone, Bieyun could finally talk.

Bieyun began chattering again. "Jiujiu, hey, wake up! The plot's about to start! Wake up and watch the show~"

When Sen Lijiu failed to respond, Bieyun grew a little worried. "That world consciousness didn't do something it shouldn't have, did it? I'd better get some medicine from Ye Ning, or I'll never feel at ease."

Bieyun used spatial power to seek out Ye Ning.

Ye Ning stared at the potion ruined when Bieyun's sudden appearance caused a hand to shake. The entire jade pendant was beside itself, emitting pulses of red light.

The jade pendant trembled continuously, then bobbed up and down as though taking a deep breath.

"Tell me, what do you want? You'd better actually have a reason." Ye Ning ground out those last few words through clenched teeth.

Bieyun trembled in fright. "Little Eight, don't be angry. Would you believe me if I said I didn't mean to?"

"What do you think?"

"I think you wouldn't."

Ye Ning had no desire to hear any more nonsense. "Get to the point."

Bieyun finally quieted down and stopped fooling around, saying with a serious expression, "This little world is far from ordinary! The world consciousness here seems restless. It actually put Little Li into a temporary slumber."

"That's not a good sign. Who knows what unexpected things might happen next? That's why I came specifically to ask for your help. I hope we can prepare some special potions together, just in case. They might prove incredibly useful at a crucial moment, helping us deal with whatever dangers or unexpected situations arise."

"After all, in a place full of unknowns like this, it never hurts to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ning instantly forgot what had just happened. "Something this important-if you'd waited any longer to tell me, Wen Ran would have beaten you up. Believe it or not."

Bieyun immediately felt a chill down his back. The jade pendant shuddered before a pair of fingers as fair as white jade pinched it.

Wen Ran smiled gently. "Bieyun, you've only been away a little while, and already you're misbehaving~"

The jade pendant instantly went still and begged for mercy. "I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't do it again! Spare me, don't lock me up! It's just been so long since I came back, I wanted to liven things up between us..."
