Xu Mengyu watched Bai Wei depart until she disappeared into the distant horizon. Only then did she turn back to Song Wen.
"Senior Gou Jun, you bear a striking resemblance to my old friend," she said.
"In what way?" Song Wen asked.
"Your tone of voice and mannerisms are remarkably similar," Xu Mengyu replied. "Moreover, both of you harbor a blood sea of hatred for the Six Fiends Hall."
The corner of Song Wen's mouth twitched involuntarily.
He suddenly realized he had told both Xu Mengyu and Bai Wei that he had a blood sea of hatred for the Six Fiends Hall.
After all, he hadn't given much thought to these casually fabricated lies.
Before Song Wen could offer an explanation, Xu Mengyu continued, "However, your appearances, auras, and cultivation realms are all different. You couldn't possibly be him. He only reached the Divine Transformation Stage, far below your senior level." A faint wistfulness tinged her expression as she spoke.
"It seems that person holds great importance to you, Miss Xu. Why haven't you sought him out?" Song Wen, eager to divert Xu Mengyu's attention from himself, deftly steered the conversation away.
Xu Mengyu's gaze indeed shifted, drifting from Song Wen to the vast expanse of the sky.
"I have no idea where he is, so how could I possibly find him? Besides, I can't disobey my master's command. She forbade me from having any further contact with him. She said his origins were unknown and that he must be a treacherous person with ulterior motives for approaching me. To prevent us from meeting, my master not only confined me to seclusion for twenty years but also confiscated the Communication Jade Slips we used to contact each other. She even took the jade slips from my two Senior Sisters. I've completely lost touch with him. I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again in this lifetime."
Song Wen said, "Miss Xu, though your master may seem strict and heartless, she might not be wrong. Perhaps, as she said, that man truly harbors malicious intentions. It's possible she saw through his disguise and forbade you from associating with him."
Xu Mengyu slowly shook her head.
"That's not it. My master has always strictly forbidden me from having any contact with men. In her eyes, there's not a single good man in the world. If you hadn't saved her life, given her temperament, she would never have shown you any kindness."
Song Wen didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere grew silent.
Fortunately, a figure suddenly sped toward them from the distance—it was Bai Wei, who had just left.
Bai Wei landed on the Giant Flying Ship and handed Song Wen a storage pouch.
"Here are a thousand stalks of Mingqing Grass, but only a hundred stalks of True Yang Grass. The True Yang Grass was purchased from outside the Myriad Swords Pavilion, and the Precious Treasures Pavilion has limited reserves, so I couldn't empty their entire stock. However, I've instructed the pavilion steward to acquire more True Yang Grass next time. I'll make up the remaining nine hundred stalks for you then."
Song Wen accepted the storage pouch, his face filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Senior."
Bai Wei replied, "As long as you're satisfied. When can you begin treating my injuries?"
Song Wen said, "Whenever it's convenient for you, Senior. I'm ready at any time."
A faint smile curved Bai Wei's lips.
"In that case, let's start now. This Giant Flying Ship may be somewhat crude, but its isolation makes it suitable for our purposes."
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the ship tower.
The three-story ship tower featured intricately carved beams and pillars, exuding both elegance and grandeur.
Song Wen said, "I'll follow your instructions completely, Senior."
Bai Wei surveyed their surroundings before adding, "This area sees frequent traffic. If the ship remains here for too long, it will attract attention. We should find a more secluded location."
With that, the Giant Flying Ship accelerated, veering away from Great Tan City.
Under the control of Bai Wei, a Body Integration Stage cultivator, the ship quickly traversed tens of thousands of miles, arriving at an uninhabited mountain valley.
Bai Wei swiftly deployed a formation, erecting a transparent barrier that enveloped the entire valley.
"Mengyu, you're on perimeter duty. Gou Jun, come with me into the ship tower to help me heal."
"Rest assured, Master," Xu Mengyu replied. "This disciple will ensure no one disturbs you and Senior Gou Jun."
Bai Wei said, "There's no need to be so tense. If any high-tier cultivators happen to pass by, simply mention my name. They'll likely give me face and leave on their own."
With that, she gestured toward the ship tower and said to Song Wen, "Gou Jun, please."
"Senior, after you," Song Wen replied politely.
Bai Wei didn't insist. She leaped gracefully onto the third floor and casually pushed open the door.
Song Wen followed closely behind, flying up and entering the room after her.
The room was sparsely furnished, containing only tables, chairs, and a low couch covered with a snow-white animal hide.
Bai Wei waved her hand, and the door swung shut automatically.
The door seemed to be inscribed with a formation, as an invisible Restriction rose, preventing outsiders from spying.
Without hesitation, Bai Wei walked to the couch and lay down flat.
"Gou Jun, come."
Song Wen approached the couch and looked down at Bai Wei. Her eyes, as deep as lake water, made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
The last time he had healed Bai Wei, she had been unconscious, allowing him to focus without distraction.
Now, with Bai Wei awake and her eyes shining brightly, the thought of having to lean over her made Song Wen feel awkward.
Sensing Song Wen's hesitation, Bai Wei added, "Gou Jun, you don't need to worry about anything."
Song Wen nodded, bent down, and pressed himself against Bai Wei.
Their foreheads touched, lips met, and eyes locked.
Song Wen felt a warm, soft sensation between their lips, accompanied by a faint, delicate fragrance—a blend of orchid and musk.
A hint of shyness flickered in Bai Wei's eyes before she closed them.
"Gou Jun, begin the healing," Bai Wei transmitted through spiritual sense.
"Senior, please open your Sea of Consciousness to allow my divine sense to enter," Song Wen replied through spiritual sense.
As soon as the words left his mind, Song Wen's divine sense slowly extended outward. Bai Wei had already opened her Sea of Consciousness, allowing his divine sense to enter effortlessly.
He first probed Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness, confirming her earlier assessment: it remained riddled with holes, showing no signs of healing.
Immediately afterward, his divine sense swept toward the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, where Bai Wei's divine soul resided.
However, a layer of Mist shrouded the depths, preventing Song Wen from peering through.
Without lingering, Song Wen activated his divine sense power, constructing a slender channel between his own Sea of Consciousness and Bai Wei's.
With a subtle mental command, he controlled the Sea of Consciousness Black Hole, releasing streams of Soul Source Essence that flowed through the channel into Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness.
One by one, luminous orbs surged through the channel, cascading into Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness.
The orbs multiplied, swirling wildly within the Sea of Consciousness like fireflies adorning the night or a silver river pouring forth—dreamlike and ethereal.
Some of these orbs landed on the damaged areas of the Sea of Consciousness, vanishing instantly.
In their wake, a faint luminescence flickered across the damaged areas.
The glow faded swiftly, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the damaged areas had subtly begun to regenerate.
