402(bad(1) - Senior Sister Is on Top

That was the dazzling glow of the Jishi Lantern, beautiful and enchanting. She had seen it countless times before, but she never imagined it would reappear in such a way. The brighter the light of the lotus lamp, the more fearful her heart became. What kind of injury would require the Jishi Treasure Lamp to exert its full power? Wendai knew, but she didn't dare to think deeply about it. She only hoped that the divine artifact would live up to its reputation, truly bringing the dead back to life and turning the tide. Recalling the sensation of hot blood splashing onto her, Wendai couldn't help but clench her fists, her heart filled with a mix of sorrow and rage. Last time it was Yin Sheng, and this time it's Qinglong. Wenfei had been severely injured twice in front of her. She couldn't prevent it, didn't even foresee it, and could only vent her anger after the dust settled. As her emotions were gradually getting out of control, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. Wendai looked up to see the usually stoic and cold-faced Sijun, now looking at her with a worried expression. "It will be fine." Since being advised by the divine deity last time, Sijun had been trying to speak more, rarely sticking to just a single word. Wendai was stunned, belatedly realizing that he was comforting her, and she didn't know how to feel. "Yes, I made you worry." She suppressed her intense emotions and smiled. "Perhaps the divine deity was right, speaking more is indeed good for you." She had previously thought that Sijun, being a divine tree, had no emotions. She didn't expect that she was wrong. As if responding to Sijun's words, the closed door soon opened, and Jiang Yin walked out. "Master's wounds have healed, and both his life and cultivation are unharmed." Although she had expected this, hearing it for real still brought relief. Wendai let out a deep breath, saw Jiang Yin gesture for her to enter, thanked her, and rushed inside. Tang Muxi was sitting by the bed. Seeing Wendai's anxious face, she gradually relaxed her expression and reassured her, "Your Highness, rest assured. With me here, I guarantee Master's safety." As she spoke, she didn't notice the cold sweat beading on her forehead. Wenfei's injuries were severe. Attacked by Qinglong with full force, not only were his internal organs damaged, but even his inner core was shattered. His bones and meridians were broken by the immense power, and he had only a faint breath left, so weak it could dissipate at any moment. The Jishi Lantern was a divine artifact capable of healing severe injuries and reviving the dead. But that was its limit. It could save lives, but it couldn't restore lost cultivation. Tang Muxi didn't want her master to become a cripple unable to cultivate, so she slit her wrist and used her powerful blood to repair his inner core. As a divine deity, her blood was immensely powerful, but not yet at its peak. To repair her master's inner core, which was a whole realm higher than hers, required a significant amount of blood. She didn't remember how much blood she had lost, only that she had almost fainted before barely succeeding. Wendai keenly noticed her pale face and lack of vitality, and her gaze fell on her sister, who was in stark contrast. In an instant, she understood. "The divine deity's grace, I will remember forever. I will serve faithfully and with utmost loyalty." As she spoke, she knelt down. Tang Muxi quickly went to help her up, wanting her not to take it to heart. Wenfei was her master, and he was worth her full effort to save. But having lost so much blood, her strength was at its lowest. Before she could help her up, she felt dizzy and unstable, on the verge of collapsing. Jiang Yin, quick to react, caught her, "The Demon King understands your heart. No need to be so formal. Master's wounds have just stabilized and he will wake up by tomorrow. Meanwhile, my junior sister is weak and needs rest. We won't disturb you further." Saying this, she carried her junior sister away. Jiang Yin was a person of deep scheming, never generous. Today, her junior sister disregarded her obstruction to save Wenfei, and she hoped Wendai would remember this. If one day her junior sister was in a life-threatening situation, she hoped Wendai would protect her even at the cost of her own life. * On the way back, Jiang Yin's face was filled with complexity. She felt heartache for her junior sister's weakness, and anger for her not taking care of herself, almost sacrificing her own life to save another. According to their agreement, her junior sister should be punished, and it had to be severe, to teach her a lesson. But now, with so much heartache, how could she bear to punish her? Jiang Yin carefully helped her junior sister onto the bed, "Rest well. I'll go to the secret realm to find some spiritual plants to help you recover quickly. Do you still have your floating immortal island? The medicinal garden on the island has many precious spiritual plants. If you don't mind, I'll take some." Tang Muxi, seeing that her senior sister didn't punish her, felt guilty for some reason. She unlocked the seal on the Qionglong Jade and gave it to her. "You're not angry with me?" Jiang Yin was stunned, her gaze falling on her tired eyes, feeling both heartache and anger, "How could I not be angry? But seeing you like this, how can I have the heart to care about those things? Rest well and recover. Once you're strong again, I'll definitely settle the score with you." After saying this, she took the Qionglong Jade and left. Though her words were filled with anger, they acted as a reassurance for Tang Muxi, making her feel much better. Leaving the room, Jiang Yin first went to her own secret realm, retrieving a heavenly treasure hidden there according to memories from a past life. It was a Dao Heart Tree. If fortunate enough to gain its favor, one could glimpse the secrets of heaven and obtain a supreme Dao seed. Jiang Yin originally intended to use the Dao Heart Tree on Tang Bao, hoping it could successfully obtain the Dao seed and perhaps ascend to a drought demon. But now, with her junior sister's severe blood loss, she had to use it early. She took the Dao Heart Tree to see Miaonu, getting straight to the point. "This tree is for you. My junior sister has lost too much blood. Is there a way to help her recover quickly?" Miaonu was a divine spirit from beyond the realm, with powers capable of great feats. Seeking her help was the best choice.
