"Alright, Brother Ling Feng, thank you!"
Guan Ya bowed deeply to Ling Feng, expressing his sincere gratitude.
Ba Yilan felt a surge of emotion upon seeing these people again. She shook hands with them before leaving.
If not for her poor physical condition, Ba Yilan would have very much wanted to visit Miao Jiutian!
Inside the sleeping quarters of the Witch God Hall Master.
Miao Jiutian, lying on the bed, looked as if he were asleep. However, the white hairs at his temples were even more pronounced than when Ling Feng had last seen him.
Miao Jiutian had endured inhuman torture over the past year!
Ji Yunyue's brows were tightly furrowed as she gazed at the sleeping Miao Jiutian on the bed, utterly helpless.
Ling Feng, understanding Ji Yunyue's deep concern, gently reassured her, "Don't worry, a stable state is a good thing. Now, to awaken his consciousness, we might need some medicinal assistance to stimulate it. I'll try using the蛊虫 (gu worms) I've cultivated myself!"
Ji Yunyue only had a rudimentary understanding of witch doctoring, so she was unable to help at this moment. She stood by quietly, watching Ling Feng, her expression earnest. It was an unconscious gesture, a desperate desire to help Ling Feng and her master.
Soon, white 蛊虫 (gu worms) appeared on Miao Jiutian's face, making it look as if he had grown hair.
Shortly after, Miao Jiutian's face showed some expression, and then his eyes snapped open.
His eyes were wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
Ji Yunyue, witnessing this, was naturally horrified and exclaimed, "Master, you're awake!"
"No, his consciousness... is still in slumber. These are merely the body's natural reactions!"
Ling Feng suddenly spoke, and with a wave of his hand, he retrieved his 蛊虫 (gu worms).
At this, Miao Jiutian's eyes slowly closed. However, his brows were now tightly knit, appearing as if he were experiencing something extremely painful.
Or rather, it was as if someone asleep were having a nightmare, hence the expression on their face.
"Ling Feng, what's going on? Master looks like he's in a lot of pain right now!"
Ji Yunyue grabbed Ling Feng's arm directly!
And with considerable force!
Ling Feng lowered his head to glance at his arm, then at Ji Yunyue.
Ji Yunyue immediately came to her senses and quickly let go of Ling Feng's arm, "I'm sorry, I was just too agitated..."
"It's nothing. If you didn't care about him, then there would be no one else for you to care about. I know the Hall Master is like a father to you, which is why I brought you here, wanting to marry you under his witness!"
Ling Feng interrupted Ji Yunyue's apology, speaking word by word.
Ji Yunyue was taken aback for a moment, then her pretty face flushed slightly, "Actually, being with you is enough. Like Si Qi, I don't need you to give me any formal title!"
"I understand, but this is something I should give. It's what I owe you and your family. But don't worry, believe me, the Hall Master's condition will be fine!"
Ling Feng then grasped Ji Yunyue's shoulders, speaking word by word with a very serious and confident expression.
Hearing this, Ji Yunyue finally stabilized her emotions and nodded repeatedly at Ling Feng, "Yes, Ling Feng, I've always believed in you!"
"Yes, don't worry. Although the situation is more serious than I imagined, at least it's confirmed that when the Hall Master wakes up, his mind won't be impaired. He's just received too much of a shock, causing his spiritual sea to be sealed. There are many ways to reopen the spiritual sea, but the most stable is medicinal treatment. I need some spiritual herbs!"
Ling Feng then clearly explained Miao Jiutian's current condition to Ji Yunyue.
For Ling Feng, he could have easily fabricated a lie to completely reassure Ji Yunyue while he went to find the necessary spiritual herbs.
But Ling Feng didn't do that. He felt there was no need to hide this from Ji Yunyue, and only by doing so could Ji Yunyue continue to trust him so completely!
"Spiritual sea sealed? So, that means the soul cannot communicate with the outside world at all?"
Ji Yunyue pressed for more information!
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, his consciousness is sealed. That's why when I stimulated him with the 蛊虫 (gu worms) earlier, there was only a very faint reaction; it was mostly his body's own response! Don't worry, rest a bit, and I'll go look for some tomorrow. The environment in Southern Cloud is quite good, so perhaps some spiritual herbs can be found. After refining them into finished pills, we can awaken the Hall Master!"
Ji Yunyue nodded repeatedly at Ling Feng, then cautiously asked, "Are these medicinal ingredients not available on the market?"
"This... it should not be easy to buy, but I can't be sure either, as it's been a long time since I've been to Southern Cloud. I'll have someone inquire. If there are people in Southern Cloud who deal specifically in these things, who are in this business, then the items can be found quickly!"
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and then took out a communicator from his person, preparing to contact someone.
Ji Yunyue also nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll contact some friends in Southern Cloud as well. By the way... will the Medicine King have any information about these spiritual herbs? Also... Hua Yu Xiao's grandfather is also in the medicinal materials business, perhaps he might have some leads!"
Ling Feng chuckled and shook his head, "Heh, in that case, tomorrow we should first visit Elder Hua. Yes, alright, we'll set off tomorrow. Once we reach the safety zone there, it will also be a good opportunity to send Hua Yu Xiao home to see her family. After all, she hasn't been back to the capital for a long time, and we must give Elder Hua an explanation!"
Ji Yunyue naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
However, Ling Feng still considered Ji Yunyue's feelings. He reached out and stroked her small head, saying, "Then you'll have to endure it for now. Once the Hall Master wakes up, I will hold our wedding here! Tomorrow, you shouldn't come with me. There is still a lot of reconstruction work to be done at the Witch God Hall. I've already spoken with Guan Ya and the others, asking them to stay and accompany you. Additionally, I will send people to guard this place. If there are any problems, just find them to resolve it!"
Ji Yunyue was stunned for a moment, then understood Ling Feng's good intentions. However, this time, Ji Yunyue would definitely not be able to attend Hua Yu Xiao's wedding.
Not only would she be unable to attend that wedding, but she would also have to busy herself with her own affairs here.
This matter was originally nothing to complain about, but after Ling Feng's reminder, it actually made Ji Yunyue feel a little uncomfortable!
"Heh, what? If you want to go, you can. We can always turn back and reorganize the Witch God Hall. The Witch God Hall has a great reputation in the safety zones across Southern Cloud, and it's very significant. We can't neglect it here!"
