"Speak up!" Li Xiaonan shouted anxiously.
Yun Moyu couldn't help but tremble, glancing at her sisters, all of whom had their heads bowed.
"Mo Yu, you speak!" Li Xiaonan coldly called out.
Yun Moyu took a deep breath, seemingly gathering her courage. "Alright! I'll say it!"
She pointed at the woman in Li Xiaonan's arms, Fei Ji, and exclaimed, "It's this woman! Ling Kui Sister sacrificed herself to save this witch, her soul entered this body, and now this woman's consciousness has awakened, while Ling Kui Sister..."
As Yun Moyu spoke, her eyes began to redden.
Li Xiaonan grew even more anxious. "What happened to Ling Kui?"
Luna sighed and took over Yun Moyu's words. "Ling Kui Sister's mental power is very weak; her soul is fragile. It's been several days, and she still hasn't awakened... Moreover... I can feel her soul is gradually disappearing..."
The soul is disappearing!
The hand holding the medicine bowl trembled violently, leaving only half a bowl of soup.
Li Xiaonan's eyes instantly filled with terrifying bloodshot veins.
If a person dies, I can still retrieve their soul from the Underworld, but if the soul disappears, where can I go to find my Ling Kui?
He suppressed the rage within him as much as possible and tried to relax his emotions. He raised the little remaining medicine in his hand and continued to coax Fei Ji. "Let's drink the medicine first, okay?"
Fei Ji was taken aback. She had prepared herself for Li Xiaonan to vent his anger on her, but she had completely misjudged him.
Why? You clearly care so much about Ling Kui; now she is risking her life for me, yet why aren't you angry?
Why aren't you taking your anger out on me?
Why do you still spend time coaxing me to take my medicine?
You clearly know that this medicine is useless...
As the glistening tears, as shiny as resin under the scorching sun, slid down from the corners of Fei Ji's eyes, she stopped struggling and obediently swallowed the medicine that Li Xiaonan fed her.
"Get some good rest..." Li Xiaonan gently hugged Fei Ji, helping her settle down and tucking her in, all while a smile lingered in his eyes.
Once he stood up and turned his back to Fei Ji, he could no longer suppress the anxiety and worry within him. His expression twisted as he hurriedly left Fei Ji's room.
He released his spiritual sense and quickly located Ling Kui.
"Is Ling Kui Sister going to be okay?" Li Baobao tightly clasped her hands, seemingly asking the sisters present, or perhaps questioning herself.
"Nana, you are the most insightful here regarding Mental Power, what do you think?" Li Yanrong looked towards Luna beside her.
"If I could intervene, Ling Kui Sister wouldn't have been unconscious for so long," Luna shook her head, her gaze forlornly following the disappearing figure of Li Xiaonan.
She could use Mental Power to turn a normal person into an Idiot, but she couldn't revert an idiot back to normal. This was also why she couldn't save Fei Ji back then.
The women fell silent and slowly left Fei Ji's room.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Xiaonan immediately spotted the person on the bed.
"Spirit!" He rushed to the bedside in a single step, filled with urgency.
On the bed, Ling Kui slept peacefully, her breathing steady and expression calm.
He reached out to gently caress her slightly cool face, tracing her delicate brows and handsome nose before finally resting his fingers on her warm lips.
"Don't be afraid, Spirit. I'll come to save you right away!" With a swift motion of his hand, he closed the door behind him.
He gently removed Ling Kui's top, kissing her rounded yet slightly fragile shoulders and enchanting collarbone.
"Foolish girl..."
Li Xiaonan whispered softly, then activated the Harmony Technique, allowing the Yuan Ying to sink into Ling Kui's Dantian.
He looked around and found nothing unusual before flying up to the Lotus Seat.
Ling Kui's Yuan Ying sat peacefully with closed eyes, her legs crossed in meditation, still as a maiden, breathtakingly beautiful.
Li Xiaonan quietly circled to her back, his warm chest pressed tightly against her cool spine.
"Ling'er, wake up! Ling'er?"
The Yuan Ying continued to sleep, unaffected by Li Xiaonan's calls.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiaonan cradled Ling Kui's exquisitely sculpted face and pressed a fervent kiss against her lips.
After a long moment, he slowly released Ling Kui. Her eyes fluttered open, dazed and confused.
How could this be? Why was Ling Kui still not awake?
The Harmony Technique was infallible for healing; it had worked on my master. Why not on Ling Kui?
Why!
He trembled as he held Ling Kui close. He could clearly sense that her cultivation had broken through again, yet no matter how he called out to her, there was no response. This left Li Xiaonan utterly perplexed.
Soul... soul power... Mental Power...
A series of keywords flashed through Li Xiaonan's mind.
That's right! How could I forget? Ling Kui isn't injured; her soul must be damaged. I didn't treat the right ailment, so how could she wake up?
Suddenly realizing this, Li Xiaonan couldn't help but smile foolishly. He gently patted Ling Kui's small head, and an idea sparked in his mind.
The first encounter with Mental Power was also due to the Harmony Technique, so this method must work!
He smiled as he sat in front of Ling Kui and Yuan Ying, their foreheads touching. The slightly cool sensation made Li Xiaonan shiver. He slowly closed his eyes and activated the Harmony Technique once more.
This time, his target was no longer the body of Ling Kui but rather the mind of Ling Kui, where the Spirit Platform resided!
A flash of white light passed before his eyes, and Li Xiaonan stared blankly at everything around him.
Is this the Spirit Platform of the spirit? It's so clean. Thinking about the Spirit Tree in his own Spirit Platform, with its roots twisting like a dragon, this place feels quite desolate.
He looked around and touched the jade-like cool texture; it was completely empty.
If not here, where did Ling Kui go? Could it be in a deeper layer of consciousness?
He smiled slightly, feeling a sense of anticipation. He would soon meet Ling Kui!
He turned and lay down on the Jade Bed, closing his eyes and trying to search for the shadow of Ling Kui.
His consciousness entered a realm of darkness.
Is this the spiritual world of Ling Kui?
Why is there not a hint of light?
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but clutch at his chest, struggling to suppress the pain within as he wandered aimlessly.
Finally, a faint halo of soft light appeared before Li Xiaonan's eyes.
In a dark corner sat a cute girl with a petite figure, looking to be around ten years old.
Her expression was somewhat forlorn as she curled up tightly, hugging her knees in silence.
Instinct told Li Xiaonan that this child was Ling Kui!
He tiptoed closer to the child, knowing that any rash move could lead to the direct demise of Ling Kui's soul.
"Little Sister?" Li Xiaonan gently called out.
Little Lingkui looked up, her eyes devoid of fear, filled only with confusion and an unexpected chill that belied her age.
"Who are you?" she asked calmly.
"My name is Li Xiaonan. Are you bored sitting here all alone? How about I take you to play?" Li Xiaonan said with a smile, extending his hand.
As long as he could bring Ling Kui's soul back to the Spirit Platform, she would naturally recover after some time.
Thinking this, he clenched his fist behind his back, his nails digging deeply into his palm. Perhaps due to his nervousness, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Little Lingkui did not notice anything unusual; she merely regarded the older brother who had suddenly appeared in her world with curiosity.
He was handsome and gentle; he must be a good person...
"Will you play with me?" she asked softly.
"Of course!" he replied eagerly.
I will cherish you, Ling Kui, come with me!
Little Lingkui furrowed her delicate brows and after a long pause shook her head. "I'm waiting for Daddy here; I can't go play with you..."
Li Xiaonan felt as if something had struck him in the chest, causing a sharp pain.
Is this what Ling Kui's childhood was like?
Has she spent it all waiting?
He took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, and forced a smile. "Then how about I sit beside you and keep you company while we wait?"
“Little Lingkui” suddenly lifted her head, clearly taken aback by Li Xiaonan's response. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded.
The big brother is really so gentle... I wonder if my father is also this gentle.
For a long time, both fell into silence.
Li Xiaonan scratched his head anxiously; this couldn't go on like this!
He had to find a way to take Ling Kui out.
He tilted his head slightly, looking gently at “Little Lingkui” and asked, “How long have you been waiting?”
“Hmm? Um... I don't know. Mother said Father would come to find us, but Mother is gone, and Father hasn't come... Master said Father would come for me, but Master left, and Father still hasn't come...”
As she spoke in a fragmented manner, Li Xiaonan gradually understood the meaning behind her words.
Struggling constantly between hope and despair, only to ultimately face more despair, right?
Why does his chest hurt so much? It feels so suffocating.
His hand tightened around his chest once more, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
“Big brother, what's wrong with you?”
“Nothing... I'm fine...” Li Xiaonan gently patted “Little Lingkui's” head.
“Is big brother feeling unwell?”
“It's nothing. With you by my side, I'll be fine soon.” The void behind him felt like a wall accepting his weight.
“Little Lingkui” lightly bit her lower lip, as if making a decision, and grasped Li Xiaonan's hand.
“Ah?” Li Xiaonan was startled and looked down to see a delicate, fair little hand holding onto his fingers.
"Spirit... Ling..." He instinctively called out that name.
"Little Lingkui?" She looked up in confusion, and when she saw the glistening liquid in Li Xiaonan's eyes, she was stunned.
Is Big Brother crying for me?
To hide the rush of emotions flooding her mind, she lowered her head and softly said, "Big Brother, will you come with me to find Daddy?"
"Yes! Yes!" Li Xiaonan nodded excitedly, pulling the petite figure into his embrace.
"B-Big Brother..."
"Just a moment... just a moment..." He gently reassured Ling Kui, and with a thought, he took her away from that dark world.
When Li Xiaonan regained his vision, the girl in his arms had grown into a woman—none other than the Ling Kui he had longed for.
"Great! It's all right now!" He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Looking around at the empty surroundings, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
It was time to make some changes!
