Qi Guze thought something had happened to her, and he rolled off the bed.
Only after seeing her right beside him did Qi Guze finally feel a little relieved.
"Ah Yue, my Ah Yue is still here." He leaned over the bed and looked at Xu Yuehuai tenderly.
Qi Guze examined Xu Yuehuai and found that she was in surprisingly good condition, which put his mind at ease.
"Master!" Yan Qing called from outside the door.
"Is there something you need?" Qi Guze slowly stood up and walked outside.
Yan Qing opened the door, glanced at Qi Guze, and seeing that his expression was normal, lowered her head again.
"The situation in Wuling Kingdom has stabilized considerably, but there have been many unrest incidents in Mingyue Kingdom recently."
“It seems those people still can’t learn to behave themselves,” Qi Guze said, walking to the stone table in the courtyard and sitting down. “How are our people distributed across the four countries lately?”
"Two-tenths of the Great Zhou Kingdom, three-tenths of the Wuling Kingdom, three-tenths of the Mingyue Kingdom, and two-tenths of the Dongsang Kingdom," Yan Qing replied.
"Is Dongsang still unable to ascertain the specific situation?" Qi Guze stared directly at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, our people haven't sent any messages back for a long time."
“Outside Dongsang Kingdom, many strange mists have suddenly appeared, and the people we sent back are unable to enter the mists.”
"Using other machines to replace people was also completely unworkable. All the machines broke down halfway and couldn't continue."
After hearing this news, Qi Guze stared silently in the direction of Dongsang Kingdom for a long time without saying a word.
"Have the brothers near Dongsang Kingdom withdraw. Tell them not to stay there for now, but to go to Wuling and Mingyue."
"yes!"
Next, Qi Guze arranged some other things for Yan Qing.
Only after hearing Xu Yuehuai's voice from inside the house did Qi Guze let Yan Qing leave first.
Inside the room, Xu Yuehuai felt like all the bones in her body were about to fall apart, her head was spinning, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Until Qi Guze walked towards her, she seemed to see a ray of light approaching her, warm and bright.
"Aze!" Xu Yuehuai jumped off the bed, ran over, and hugged him.
"Be careful not to catch a cold." Qi Guze pulled her into his arms, making sure her feet weren't still on the ground, and then went to sit down on the bed.
"How long have I been asleep?" Xu Yuehuai leaned against her chest, her fingers holding his, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat.
"Five hours have passed since I woke up." Qi Guze stroked her hair, smoothing out the curls of her hair little by little.
"It seems you woke up shortly after I fell asleep." She yawned sleepily again.
"Ah Yue, don't lock yourself up next time, okay?" Qi Guze pinched her cheek and made her look up at him.
"But I..."
Xu Yuehuai's face turned bright red instantly, and under his direct gaze, she could only say half of what she was going to say before she couldn't get the words out.
His red lips were very moist, perhaps because he had just drunk water, and Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but swallow.
Qi Guze smiled and leaned closer to her. "What? What do you want to explain?"
"I'll let you know next time," she whispered.
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to do anything that could harm yourself," Qi Guze said solemnly.
“Okay!” Xu Yuehuai said, then suddenly leaned closer to him and rubbed his chin.
A few stubbles had sprouted on his chin, which tickled her a little, so she shifted her body slightly.
"You..." Qi Guze hugged her tightly, preventing her from moving around.
Xu Yuehuai felt a warmth and immediately bit his cheek like a little fox.
"Stop fooling around, you haven't eaten yet, don't starve yourself." Qi Guze suddenly dodged her next clutches.
She felt that Qi Guze seemed a little off, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was, so she didn't think much of it and got up with him.
After finishing their dinner, the two talked about the recent strange occurrences in the Underworld Kingdom.
Xu Yuehuai decided, "The four kingdoms are all in turmoil. We need to prepare as soon as possible to start the final battle with the alien race. But before that, let's move A-Xuan and the others to a safe place."
“But they have a large population, and a safe relocation would require careful planning. You don’t need to worry about this; I will arrange for someone to carry it out,” Qi Guze reassured her.
"Yes, with you here, I'm naturally at ease." Xu Yuehuai snuggled up to sit on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
The two gazed at each other quietly for a while, neither of them speaking, yet their hearts were intertwined.
"Aze, there's something I want to tell you."
"Speak."
"It seems like the connection between us has been severed."
"What?"
Qi Guze raised an eyebrow, as if he hadn't heard clearly.
"I've discovered that I simply can't transfer my magical power to you anymore," Xu Yuehuai explained.
"Could it be because I was unconscious? Or is it because you just recovered?" Qi Guze didn't want the connection between the two of them to suddenly break down. After all, if there was any connection between them, they would always be able to sense each other's danger in times of crisis and help each other in special circumstances.
However, if the connection is completely severed, they will no longer be able to sense each other or provide emergency assistance, which is equivalent to losing a "get-out-of-jail-free card".
"But I've tried many times, and nothing works."
“Aze, I shouldn’t have learned newly discovered techniques so casually.”
"If it weren't for the Ling Shu Technique, things might not have turned out this way."
Xu Yuehuai felt a little annoyed and pouted.
"What? You mean the Spiritual Pivot Technique?" Qi Guze's expression changed, and his tone turned cold.
Xu Yuehuai was startled and paused for a moment before replying, "Yes."
"That's a banned book! It was destroyed long ago. How did you get it?"
"I went to the secret room and found that book. After practicing for a while, I suddenly discovered the key to it, which was to practice the complete Ling Shu Jue."
"How is this possible?"
Qi Guze was immediately stunned, and then explained the origin and development of the "Ling Shu Jue".
It turns out that the "Ling Shu Jue" was created by a demonic monk. Initially, it was used to cure diseases and save people, but later he gradually discovered that the "Ling Shu Jue" was actually absorbing the power of those patients.
Later, as the "Ling Shu Jue" became more and more complete, the demonic monk was controlled by it and became its slave, slaughtering innocent people.
"What should I do now? Can I abandon the cultivation technique?" Xu Yuehuai had not expected such serious consequences.
Qi Guze stared at Xu Yuehuai, both reproachful and heartbroken, "We'll see how things go later, but you must never practice that Ling Shu Technique on your own again."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.
