When she saw her husband suffer cultivation deviation, Li Zhenxin, who had experienced this once before, quickly shook off her fear. She directed Wu Yunyue, Lian'er, and Zhang Wenjun to make use of her husband's last shred of reason and try every method recorded in the Yin-Yang Harmony Art, soothing him and helping him regain his reason and clarity bit by bit as they struggled to free him from his heart demon's influence.
Fortunately, thanks to the four women's ceaseless efforts, the violence in Liu Changxu's heart found an outlet in time. His heart demon gradually dissipated, and his mind slowly began to clear.
But this process took far longer than his first heart demon outbreak. Li Zhenxin and the other three women worked for ten full days and nights before their husband finally calmed down and sank into a deep sleep.
The four women were equally exhausted in body and mind. Once they saw that their husband had regained his clarity and was safe, they could hold out no longer. They collapsed beside him and fell into a sweet sleep.
This heart demon outbreak was, in fact, an eruption of all Liu Changxu's pent-up negative emotions. Fortunately, it had happened while he was engaged in dual cultivation with his four wives.
