"Senior Bai Wei, please guide these specks of light toward the damaged areas of the Sea of Consciousness. This will accelerate the healing process," Song Wen communicated telepathically.
If the Soul Source Essence were allowed to drift aimlessly, they would likely settle in the undamaged regions of the Sea of Consciousness, offering little benefit for healing the injuries. At best, they would only strengthen the already intact areas.
"Understood!" Bai Wei's voice echoed in his mind.
A graceful figure emerged from the depths of the Mist within the Sea of Consciousness. Her voluptuous, elegant form resembled a masterpiece meticulously sculpted by the heavens. Her face was as radiant as the autumn moon, her skin as smooth and delicate as mutton-fat jade. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a captivating, soul-stirring light.
She wore a flowing white gown that danced gently with her movements, swaying with graceful poise.
Song Wen suddenly realized that Bai Wei's divine soul appeared slightly different from her usual appearance, though there was a faint resemblance. While her everyday features were refined and dignified, they would only be considered average in the Immortal Cultivation World. Yet now, the form her divine soul manifested was subtly altered, radiating an intoxicating beauty.
This wasn't Song Wen's first time seeing Bai Wei's divine soul. He had even entered her Sea of Consciousness and held her soul in his arms.
However, at that time, Bai Wei's soul had been severely injured, covered in cracks like fissures crisscrossing parched earth, leaving no trace of her captivating beauty.
Later, fearing Bai Wei's anger at his intrusion into her Sea of Consciousness, Song Wen withdrew his divine soul and sense, never witnessing her soul's full recovery.
"Senior... your true appearance?" Though Xuan Qu had described Bai Wei's true face as peerless, seeing it with his own eyes still sent a tremor through Song Wen's heart.
Bai Wei's soul smiled faintly. "This is my true form. My usual appearance is merely a disguise..."
Her smile abruptly froze.
Outside, her physical body seemed to encounter something foreign, her waist twisting sharply.
Song Wen's body trembled slightly in response.
Then, the connection between their Seas of Consciousness shattered with a thunderous crash.
"Senior... please forgive me. Your beauty is celestial, like a heavenly immortal. I couldn't restrain myself and momentarily lost my composure."
"You don't need to explain. Just continue healing," Bai Wei's divine soul remained remarkably calm.
In the outside world, however, a blush like the soft glow of twilight had crept across her cheeks, resembling both the gentle caress of evening clouds and the vibrant bloom of a delicate flower.
"Alright, let's continue healing," Song Wen replied, once again focusing on forming the Dao channel.
But as soon as the channel materialized, Bai Wei's delicate body shifted again, causing the channel to shatter and dissipate.
"Senior, please try not to move."
"You're poking me," Bai Wei's voice finally lost its composure, tinged with a hint of bashfulness.
"Senior, perhaps we should rest first and then resume healing?" Song Wen suggested.
"No," Bai Wei refused firmly. "Continue."
"Alright."
Song Wen seemed visibly uncomfortable, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
He focused once more on forming the Dao channel, this time succeeding.
Points of light surged through the channel, guided by Bai Wei's will to the damaged areas of her Sea of Consciousness.
The fractured regions began to slowly repair themselves.
But the process didn't last long. After just two hours, another tremor in Bai Wei's waist caused the channel to collapse again.
Amidst the repeated cycles of the passage solidifying and collapsing, time flowed like a massive, grinding wheel, slow and arduous. For Song Wen, it felt like enduring a prolonged and excruciating torture.
Finally, after half a month, Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness had recovered nearly ninety percent. The remaining minor injuries could be healed over time through gradual nourishment or the use of medicinal pills.
"Senior, is the treatment complete?" Song Wen asked anxiously, for the third time.
"Gou Jun, since you've already intervened, please help me fully heal my Sea of Consciousness," Bai Wei replied, rejecting his suggestion as she had before.
Helpless, Song Wen had accepted her favor and had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure another three days of torment, finally completely restoring Bai Wei's Sea of Consciousness.
Maintaining the passage formed from his divine sense power for so long had drained his mental energy like unraveling silk from a cocoon, leaving him utterly exhausted, as if every ounce of his vitality had been drained away.
His body went limp, and he exhaled a long, heavy breath.
Bai Wei, still immersed in the joy of her Sea of Consciousness's recovery, suddenly felt a breath enter her mouth, followed by the slither of a spiritual snake across her lips.
Her tightly closed eyes snapped open, and she found herself staring into a pair of weary eyes.
"Gou Jun, it's time to come down."
"Alright!"
Song Wen seemed to snap out of a daze, flipping over and landing firmly on his feet. He then reached down to tug lightly at the hem of his robe, which still carried a faint dampness.
Bai Wei immediately rose, her gaze inadvertently catching Song Wen's subtle movement. She quickly averted her eyes, pretending not to have noticed anything.
"Ahem..."
As if to mask her embarrassment, Bai Wei feigned a light cough.
Then, she tossed Song Wen a storage pouch.
"Senior Gou Jun, thank you for your efforts. This is the hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones I promised you."
Though the healing process had been strange and convoluted, Bai Wei had to admit the results were excellent. Moreover, her Sea of Consciousness had been strengthened, now significantly more resilient than before her injury.
Furthermore, the weariness etched between Gou Jun's brows revealed the considerable toll the healing process had taken on him.
Bai Wei had no intention of reneging on her promised reward.
Song Wen accepted the storage pouch without hesitation, then rubbed the space between his brows.
"It is this junior's honor to alleviate Senior's burdens."
Bai Wei straightened her slightly disheveled robes, opened the cabin door, and stepped out of the ship tower.
Song Wen followed closely behind, landing on the deck.
"Master, has your Sea of Consciousness fully recovered?" Xu Mengyu asked with concern.
Bai Wei nodded. "It has fully recovered."
"Congratulations, Master."
A relieved smile spread across Xu Mengyu's face as she turned to Song Wen.
"Thank you, Senior Gou Jun."
"Miss Xu, you needn't be so formal," Song Wen replied. "Senior Bai Wei has also assisted me greatly. Moreover, I must ask both of you to keep my ability to heal others' divine souls strictly confidential. Let no one else learn of it."
Bai Wei interjected, "Gou Jun, you need not worry. This matter will never be known by a fourth person."
"With our business concluded here, I shall take my leave."
Song Wen offered a farewell, and without waiting for a response from the two women, he soared into the sky and flew toward the horizon, vanishing swiftly into the distant sky.
