Chapter 260: The Righteous Dog Is Still Alive!
Bai Bai went to mend Feng He’s divine soul. Feng Budu stood in Ming Zhaoshuang’s sea of consciousness, looking at Feng He’s location, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ming Zhaoshuang did not intend to disturb her. She ran to Sang Biao and poured out all the pills Tan Zhu had given her earlier.
“Mimi, you’ve suffered this time. Eat more pills, and when we get back to the Ming family, I’ll make you your favorite dried fish.”
Sang Biao let out two cries.
He was so moved that he could even eat pills and dried fish. Back then, when he, Lord Sang Biao, followed Feng He to conquer the world, they treated the pills from Alchemy Saint Yixu like candy.
But ever since Master Feng He’s soul was scattered, he hadn’t eaten any pills.
He, the majestic Lord Sang Biao, could only lick his wounds alone in the dark night, as lonely and as sad as could be. Especially after being sealed in that cursed place, he felt that there was no hope for tomorrow.
Wuwuwu, he could finally eat pills now.
Sang Biao swallowed twice and suddenly said, “Mimi has eaten this pill before!”
Ming Zhaoshuang raised an eyebrow. “It was refined by Tan Zhu’s Master, who is said to be a friend of Feng He. You probably ate it then.”
Saying this, Ming Zhaoshuang gently stroked Sang Biao’s head, her gaze tender.
Sang Biao thought very, very seriously.
He had indeed eaten this pill before, and he had eaten a lot of it.
But his master had many, many good friends back then, and she had given him a lot of pills, which he ate. Sang Biao didn’t even know who had refined this particular pill.
“Aowu!” Finally, Sang Biao very, very seriously reached a conclusion: “This pill was refined by someone who had a very, very good relationship with my master. It seems to be from Yigou!”
At this moment, Feng Budu said, “It’s Yixu.”
Sang Biao nodded with effort, “Right, Yigou!”
Although his master most often called her Old Dog Yixu, it was Yigou!
Mispronouncing words was Mimi’s specialty.
Ming Zhaoshuang was startled, “Yixu isn’t dead?”
Feng Budu said, “She should not be dead.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “But didn’t everyone say she had already died, only living for eight thousand years?”
Feng Budu said, “Then she should be dead.”
Seeing Feng Budu’s demeanor, Ming Zhaoshuang knew she wouldn’t get any more information.
After all, Feng Budu was truly a taciturn person.
The fact that she was able to talk to her so much was entirely for Feng He’s sake. Otherwise, given her personality, Ming Zhaoshuang estimated that even managing to say one sentence to her would be difficult.
Moreover, Feng Budu had nothing to hide from her.
If Yixu was still alive and was Tan Zhu’s Master, then Tan Zhu had likely already broken free from the Heavenly Dao’s control and wouldn’t need her help to awaken, which was a good thing.
Ming Zhaoshuang thought, feeling a lot more relaxed.
After a long while, Bai Bai finally emerged from Feng He’s side and said to the two:
“Feng He’s divine soul is almost completely mended. In about half a year, it will stabilize. As for Ming Zhaoxue, you fed him many pills earlier. I’ll use the remaining lotus root silk, and his divine soul should be able to fill up significantly. Although he won’t wake up, he’ll at least have consciousness.”
Ming Zhaoshuang asked, “Having consciousness, what does that mean?”
Bai Bai said, “It means he can perceive your state and know his surroundings, but his divine soul is ultimately damaged, and he’ll need more time to recover.”
Ming Zhaoshuang rejoiced and asked again, “Then when will Feng He wake up? Does she have consciousness too?”
Bai Bai shrugged, “Her divine soul won’t fully stabilize for at least another half a year, but she won’t be able to respond to you or have consciousness. Her soul power has been completely depleted, and she doesn’t have a body to support her. Her divine soul needs to stabilize first.”
“Although after reaching the Empty Soul Realm, the divine soul can exist independently of the body, having a body or not having a body still makes a difference.”
“Just like before she used your body, she could only manipulate Fushuang to help you block the Huan Bird’s thunderclap. But after she used your body, she was able to fight Xuan Gui.”
“Although Ming Zhaoxue’s divine soul wasn’t completely mended, he at least has a body.”
Hearing this, Ming Zhaoshuang wasn’t annoyed but smiled, “This is good enough.”
One cannot be greedy for more or victory.
Her ability to return from the Demon Realm this time was already a great fortune. Ming Zhaoshuang dared not ask for anything more.
Upon hearing that Feng He’s divine soul was completely mended, Feng Budu breathed a sigh of relief. She waved her sleeve and set up a restriction in Ming Zhaoshuang’s sea of consciousness, admonishing Ming Zhaoshuang again:
“The divine soul is extremely important to cultivators. Next time, do not let anyone easily enter your sea of consciousness.”
With that, she left Ming Zhaoshuang’s sea of consciousness.
Ming Zhaoshuang, however, sat in Feng He’s position and began to ponder.
She looked at the dim stars in her sea of consciousness and, in a daze, recalled the appearance of Feng He’s sea of consciousness, which was dazzling and bright, like a clear night sky, even surpassing Beyond the Heavens.
At that time, she had disliked it, thinking it was just a broken system interfering with her life.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked up, seemingly at someone, “System, honestly, I don’t know what I did wrong during the Demon Realm incident.”
“The Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk was right there. If there was even a sliver of a chance, I wouldn’t have given it up. At that time, I didn’t know the vast chasm between Void Refining and Body Integration, so I chose to accept the Heaven-Grade Mission. But if I had known, I might have first tried to probe the situation at Jingyan Ridge, and then met Yan Ao and Wen Ye.”
“After that, I would still have accepted that Heaven-Grade Mission.”
“But if I wanted the Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk, even though Tan Zhu had warned me that the auction was dangerous, I wouldn’t have not gone. Because at the time, I didn’t know the exact danger of the auction, but as long as I went to the auction, regardless of whether Qin Feilong exposed himself or not, I would have stopped the formation at the auction.”
“In that situation, even if I were innocent, with my Nascent Soul stage strength, he simply wouldn’t have given me the Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk.”
Therefore, she would still have been stopped.
Therefore, she would still have been inspected and exposed, and then the situation at that time would have unfolded.
As long as she wanted the Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk, it was a dead end.
Unsolvable.
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed and lowered her head, “But if I didn’t want the Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk, I wouldn’t be Ming Zhaoshuang.”
She had done her best, and even with her Nascent Soul stage strength, she played a decisive role in the battle against the Huan Bird. But the Demon Realm used the Pure Yin Maiden for entrapment, and she could only be the fish on the hook.
In fact, if she hadn’t met Yan Ao and Wen Ye, her fate might have been even more miserable, as no one would care about the life or death of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
At that time, she probably wouldn’t have gotten the Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk and would have lost her life there.
This time, it was all because Feng Budu protected her.
But what about next time, and the time after that, and the time after that?
The System couldn’t always be by her side, and Feng Budu couldn’t just rush over to save her. Feng Budu was her trump card, but she couldn’t always rely on it.
No matter how strong Feng Budu was, there would always be unexpected situations.
