Chapter 852 - 840: Testing (Two - s in One)
At this moment, Xuan Yan seemed to feel the beating of his heart, different from before.
There was also an uncontrollable pull, seemingly coming from her.
In fact, even if the light of the bond hadn’t appeared, he would believe her words.
Because the heart wouldn’t lie to him.
The feeling wouldn’t deceive him.
Su Muyao walked step by step toward Xuan Yan, moving very slowly.
Because she remembered the information Xiao Jihan had gathered earlier, saying Xuan Yan loathed females and rejected them.
Su Muyao wasn’t sure if he rejected her, so she didn’t dare to get close.
She could only test cautiously.
Xuan Yan didn’t stop her, nor did he resist, just quietly watched her under the tree.
She was very beautiful, breathtakingly so, with snow-white skin, a perfect figure, and a gentle, pleasant fragrance moving with her graceful figure as she walked.
As she approached, Xuan Yan’s heart raced faster.
Su Muyao stood in front of him, looking up and said, "Beast power backlash is very hard, isn’t it?"
Su Muyao guessed it’s probably similar to the turmoil of the Spirit Sea.
She could help sort it out.
It was indeed very hard, but looking into Su Muyao’s worried and pained eyes, all of Xuan Yan’s emotions seemed to calm down, "Not hard, when asleep there’s hardly any feeling."
He just didn’t want her to worry.
Su Muyao wanted to hug him but also knew that without his memories, he didn’t recognize her, and a hug might make him uncomfortable.
So she only softly asked, "Can I take a look for you?"
Xuan Yan, seeing the almost tearful look in her eyes, felt a tight pang in his heart for some reason and replied, "Okay."
As if at this moment he couldn’t bear to refuse whatever she wanted to do.
Su Muyao extended her hand trying to examine his Spirit Sea, but his stature was tall, and she had to tiptoe to touch the top of his head.
Seeing her action, Xuan Yan naturally bent down to make it easier for her to touch his head.
Actually, for Firebird Beastmen, it’s forbidden for others to touch their heads.
But with Su Muyao, Xuan Yan seemed to have no principles.
As if without thinking, his body simply moved naturally.
Su Muyao placed her hand on his head and could sense the violent, tumultuous Spirit Sea, which seemed to have half collapsed already.
The turbulent Spirit Sea, like a cutting wind, caused him immense pain.
But Xuan Yan’s face remained calm, showing no signs at all.
Su Muyao’s fingers trembled slightly, trying to soothe the Spirit Sea for him.
But it was of no use.
"What’s happening?"
Su Muyao looked at her hand, trying several times without success.
She couldn’t use spiritual power to soothe his Spirit Sea at all.
Wood Element Ability couldn’t be utilized either.
"It’s useless."
Su Muyao’s eyes reddened with urgency, feeling like crying with no tears.
Xuan Yan comforted her, "It’s okay, don’t worry."
"I’m actually alright."
Xuan Yan probably hadn’t comforted anyone before, so seeing her eyes redden, he was anxious but didn’t know what to do.
Xuan Yan realized he couldn’t bear to see her sad and upset.
"Maybe it’s the dream’s reason, in dreams you can only see but do nothing."
"When I used to sleep on the tree, I could only dream of some things; nothing could be changed in dreams."
He fell into his dreams, always in a fog.
Even if he vaguely heard a female voice through the fog, he couldn’t see clearly.
Now, she had entered his dream.
He even had a dazed feeling, not knowing if she in the dream was real or false.
Or perhaps she was just a dream formed by his own consciousness.
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, "Maybe it’s exactly because of the dream, only consciousness enters the dream, unable to operate spiritual power and superpower."
"Then when you wake up, come find me, and I’ll help soothe your Spirit Sea, okay?"
Su Muyao blinked expectantly at Xuan Yan.
Xuan Yan was the Young City Lord, with a noble status in Black Rock City; it was difficult for her to see him.
But if Xuan Yan went to see her, it would be very easy.
"I live on the second street of West District..."
Su Muyao gave Xuan Yan the address in detail.
Xuan Yan softly said, "Okay, I will go."
Su Muyao felt relieved hearing this.
She then chattered on about many things with Xuan Yan.
Unable to help but mention the Blood Clan Beastman and Xuan Che, but before she got the chance to finish, the mist suddenly dispersed.
Su Muyao suddenly woke up from her sleep.
...
When Su Muyao woke up, she realized it was already daylight.
When she got up, Xiao Jihan and Da Bao had already risen early.
After washing, Su Muyao saw a thick layer of snow had fallen on the courtyard and eaves.
