Seeing the girl's exhaustion, Ming Beiya stepped forward and gently pulled her into his arms.
Mo Shisheng gently lifted her eyelids. This time, she didn't resist much. Instead, she leaned gently against the man's chest, resting all her weight on him.
"If you're worried about her, why don't you go back and check on her?"
A deep, cool voice came from above, and his large hand gently landed on the girl's back, stroking it lightly.
"She knew that Shangguan Yue was an imposter."
Mo Shisheng spoke softly, "Shangguan Yue's so-called demonic eyes are more of a warning. She didn't pursue whether Shangguan Yue was real or not in order to protect me."
"The Nuwa Stone is related to the safety of the divine realm. It is no exaggeration to say that the great war a thousand years ago was caused by the Nuwa Stone. But she was willing to give up the safety of the divine realm for you, which shows that she really cares about you."
A hint of heartache welled up in Ming Beiya's eyes as he picked up the girl's soft body, just like before, supporting her hips with one hand and holding her waist with the other, so that she could comfortably lean on his shoulder.
He carried her all the way to the guest room on the third floor. When he put Mo Shisheng on the bed, she was already fast asleep, but her brows were still tightly furrowed.
Ming Beiya raised his hand to smooth away the worry between her brows, and quietly stayed by her side. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he felt at ease.
...
The Palace of the Gods.
When Lingxue returned, she happened to run into the goddess walking out. Upon seeing her, she stepped forward and greeted her, "Goddess, are you going out?"
Upon hearing this, the goddess slowly stopped in her tracks. Her face was covered by a red veil, and only her eyes could be seen glancing at Lingxue with a slightly contemptuous look. "Since Prince Yin has not yet been found, my mother is very worried, so I went to find him myself."
"The goddess is very kind."
Lingxue nodded slightly. "Then I'll go in first."
"Wait a minute."
"Does the goddess have something else to say?"
Lingxue's gaze gently fell on the goddess, and she asked softly.
"Where did you just go?" The goddess narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze scrutinizing. "Why weren't you in the palace for breakfast?"
"I went to the market outside, hoping to find some clues about Prince Yin." Lingxue had already prepared her answer on the way back, so she could handle it with ease even if the goddess asked.
"Okay, I understand."
The goddess gently withdrew her gaze and walked slowly out of the palace. Lingxue watched her until her figure disappeared before turning and leaving.
When Lingxue returned to her room, she found that Lingying was not there. She took an orange, sat down at the table, and started peeling it. Thinking about Mo Shisheng's words, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She didn't even notice Lingying pushing the door open and walking in. Lingying noticed that Lingxue's behavior was a bit off, so she walked over, gently sat down beside her, and waved her hand in front of her. "What's wrong?"
"Um?"
Lingxue suddenly snapped out of her daze, and after recognizing Lingying as the person in front of her, she sighed deeply, "Sister, why isn't Auntie getting better?"
“The spiritual power of the Divine Realm comes from the Nuwa Stone. Over the years, haven’t you noticed that the spiritual pool of the Divine Realm has been polluted and become lifeless?” Hearing Lingxue bring up this heavy topic, Lingying also sighed softly. “Auntie is now supporting the entire Divine Realm with the spiritual power in her body. She has been doing this for thousands of years. Her spiritual power has been depleted and her health has naturally deteriorated day by day.”
