As the Bai Ze beast form merged into her, the aura Yun Xiaomei gave off took on a touch more wisdom.
Bai Ze was a legendary auspicious beast, one that understood all living things and knew the affairs of ghosts and gods. Integrating its true essence naturally had the effect of awakening understanding and enlightening the mind.
But after absorbing the special form of mind energy released by the bronze scroll, Yun Xiaomei suddenly went limp and involuntarily fell backward.
Chen Jue hurriedly caught her. "Xiaomei, are you all right?"
"I'm fine, Brother Chen Jue. My head just feels a little swollen."
"I must have absorbed too much mind energy. There was a lot of strange information mixed into that illusory beast form just now... I need to rest and digest it..." Yun Xiaomei rubbed her Taiyang acupoints and spoke calmly.
For her brain to ache with pressure despite her current physical condition showed just how powerful the impact of the Bai Ze Diagram's energy had been.
"Strange information?" Chen Jue murmured. Feeling the astonishingly fragrant softness in his arms, he kept his mind free of stray thoughts and carried Yun Xiaomei over to Bai Ze's fluffy, soft fur, gently setting her down for the moment.
Bai Ze became extremely cooperative. Whether it was because Yun Xiaomei had just integrated Bai Ze's true essence or not, its gaze toward her now held a hint of affection. It curled up on the bed fashioned from seven-colored crystals, letting Yun Xiaomei lean comfortably against its belly.
Seeing Yun Xiaomei close her eyes to rest, Chen Jue began studying the images on the bronze scroll. The Exotic Beast illustrations varied in size, and the blocks of square characters beside them differed in length as well.
