Chi Xuanzhu waved his hand: "Don't be nervous. I'm just using my divine sense to control you for a while. The calligraphy on the Spirit Island is complex and ever-changing. It would be useless for me to contact them to break free. You can't handle it either. I can only use the method of possession. Of course, it's not really using my soul to possess your body. It's just invading your consciousness for a while. You can take this opportunity to rest."
Although he didn't understand exactly what the invasion of consciousness meant, Lu Ziyuan had no choice but to agree since things had come to this point. Soon, he felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, Lu Ziyuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, but his pupils seemed to be covered with a mist, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.
Since it wasn't a real possession, many things couldn't be done like a normal person's. Chi Xuanzhu carefully looked around, planning to perform the ritual when no one was paying attention.
He came to the bow of the ship, staring thoughtfully at the gloomy sky. The sky was getting darker and darker, and night was fast approaching.
Chi Xuanzhu could tell that this was a normal barrier on the Spirit Island. If an unfamiliar ship approached, it would be trapped inside, but when it could leave depended on the caster.
Lu Ziyuan's ship is so big and sturdy, they can easily guess that he won't let him get close to the Spirit Island and take Zhong Muyu away easily.
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner."
A guard carrying a lantern came over, and seeing that he was unmoved, he added, "Your Highness, don't worry, we will find the island soon and bring the princess back."
Chi Xuanzhu knew he was trying to comfort Lu Ziyuan, but he couldn't be disturbed at the moment, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead and eat. I'm not hungry. I'm going to go up to a higher place. Don't bother me unless it's important."
The guard didn't mind his cold and strange rejection. At this moment, he thought that Lu Ziyuan was unable to eat or sleep because he missed him too much.
So he quietly withdrew, and seeing that no one was around, Chi Xuanzhu climbed to a high place and meditated quietly.
The outline of the barrier gradually emerged in his consciousness. The Spirit Clan used dream magic to cast spells, and everything was constructed around the realm of consciousness, which was not difficult for Chi Xuanzhu. He quickly obtained the method to break it, and then he made incantations and chanted hand gestures. As the hand gestures rose and fell, the dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky began to dissipate, and a wind began to blow around him.
"The wind is picking up!"
The helmsman looked at the sky and said with relief, "The wind has blown away the dark clouds! Thank goodness, we haven't deviated from our course."
Just as Chi Xuanzhu was struggling to break through the barrier, Wen Shenshi suddenly sensed something and met Chi Xuanzhu in his consciousness.
"I knew it was you, otherwise they would never have been able to break through this barrier in their entire lives."
Chi Xuanzhu calmly said, "I will help them. Isn't that obvious? I told you long ago that you can't hold Zhong Muyu back, and Lu Ziyuan won't give up easily."
"Yes, yes, so I gave up, and they... pretty much gave up too."
Master Wen relaxed and sat down next to the Crimson Bamboo.
“Zhong Muyu has regained her memories, and she has now reconciled with the Spirit Clan, which should avoid some trouble. Tell this person not to cause any trouble when he comes.”
Chi Xuanzhu agreed, looking like she knew what she was doing: "That's something she's capable of doing. She never wants things to get worse, and she always manages to turn danger into safety."
"This is all thanks to you."
"I only owe her some favors."
The two chatted idly, and before long, the clouds parted and the moon shone brightly. The barrier was completely broken, and it was time for Master Wen to return.
Before leaving, Master Wen said, "I hope Zhong Muyu can change the current situation on the island and build a bridge so that we can return to our homeland and visit you again in the future."
"That day will come."
Chi Xuanzhu revealed a calm smile. After Wen Shenshi left, he recalled Lu Ziyuan's consciousness and relayed the matter to him.
Hearing that Zhong Muyu was doing well, Lu Ziyuan was relieved and felt grateful to Chi Xuanzhu: "You have helped me and Yu'er several times. I will remember this kindness and will do my best to repay you if needed in the future."
"Let's wait until everything is over before we talk about it."
After saying this, Chi Xuanzhu bid farewell to Lu Ziyuan and left his consciousness.
Whether or not he was repaid, Chi Xuanzhu didn't care. As a mountain god with a very long lifespan, as long as Yanshan existed, he would exist. His only connection was with the Spirit Clan; the others were just some happy things in his long life.
...
They tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. As dawn broke the next day, they finally saw the Spirit Island, and everyone was instantly thrilled.
Zhong Muyu is nearing her due date, and everything she does is difficult now. Nevertheless, she still managed to see the magnificent ship on the beach after getting up early in the morning.
"Ning'er? Ning'er?"
Zhong Muyu called out several times but received no response. In the past, Ning'er was almost always by her side.
She went outside to look for Ning'er, but saw her rushing back: "Holy Maiden, someone is looking for you!"
Looking for me?
"Yes! They say it's the person you've been longing for."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the large ship.
"Could it be... Ning'er? Take me there quickly!"
That magnificent ship, and the person she longed for—who else could it be but Lu Ziyuan!
Zhong Muyu felt a surge of excitement and quickened her pace down the steps. Ning'er chased after her, saying, "Holy Maiden, please slow down!"
"We can't delay any longer, it's urgent!"
However, perhaps because she was running too fast, Zhong Muyu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and then her legs went weak, forcing her to stop by holding onto a tree by the roadside.
"Your Holiness, what's wrong?"
Ning'er quickly came to support her, but saw that Zhong Muyu's expression had changed drastically.
"My stomach hurts, maybe I'm going into labor..."
"Ah! Please wait a moment, I'll go and get someone right away!"
Ning'er was terrified and hurriedly went to find someone. Fortunately, as her delivery was approaching, the experienced midwives on the Spirit Island were watching her closely. As soon as Ning'er went looking, a large number of people arrived.
Zhong Muyu felt her stomach hurting more and more. After the others carried her back to her room, she vaguely heard Lu Ziyuan's voice.
The first thing Lu Ziyuan did upon arriving on the island was to ask Dongshan Yi for people, but before they could say much, they were interrupted by Zhong Muyu's childbirth.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyuan immediately abandoned everyone and went to find Zhong Muyu.
At the entrance, Ning'er and the others stopped him: "The Holy Maiden is giving birth; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
Lu Ziyuan said anxiously, "I am her husband, I must ensure her safety!"
Ning'er was slightly surprised. She looked Lu Ziyuan up and down, then shook her head: "The Holy Maiden will not be in any danger. It is you who went in and disturbed her childbirth, that would be the problem!"
Before Lu Ziyuan could say anything more, he heard Zhong Muyu's screams coming from inside the house, along with the soothing voices of several midwives.
