445 - Senior Sister Is on Top

How Fortunate We Are After speaking, she rode the wind and went to assist in the restoration of the buildings. The demon realm was restored, and many demon cultivators joyfully returned to their homes. Some, encountering the gods at work, joined in without hesitation to offer their help. From one to ten, from ten to a hundred, what started with two people and a bird grew into a massive team. Wherever they went, buildings were rebuilt, and spiritual plants flourished, resembling divine lanterns capable of saving the world, healing all the wounds of the demon realm. By the time everything was completed, a day had quietly passed. Looking up, the stars and moon were sparse, as if only a moment had passed. Tang Mu Xi dismissed everyone and went to Cangluan Palace in search of Wen Dai and her friends, intending to heal their injuries. Seeing this, Wen Fei frowned slightly and couldn't help but call out, "Mu Xi, rest first. You've been working hard all day, you should take a break and relax." Tang Mu Xi paused momentarily, then shook her head with a forced smile, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I'm not tired. Their injuries are severe; it's better to deal with them as soon as possible." She then continued on her way. Wen Fei was stunned, standing in place, noticing a trace of dishevelment in her hurried figure. She had thought Tang Mu Xi had already moved past the pain of losing her senior sister, but it seemed that wasn't the case. Tang Mu Xi was merely using busyness to numb herself. A hint of sorrow flashed in Wen Fei's heart, and she sighed softly, "Jiang Yin, when will you come back?" She would rather not have such a diligent emperor. Chapter 254 The late-night cold wind was piercing, like invisible blades that could carve flesh from one's body. After a day of toil, Tang Mu Xi's dress was covered in mud. Each step she took left star-like specks of dust in her wake. She didn't mind at first, but upon arriving at the white jade steps in front of Cangluan Palace, she hesitated. Seeing the dirty footprints on the jade steps, a sense of guilt washed over her. "Illusion God, Master, you go in first; I'll change my clothes and come." She was a deity, and the dust on her body was a symbol of her hard work, yet she now sought to avoid it. "You don't have to…" No one would mind. Before Wen Fei could finish, Tang Mu Xi disappeared, using the Star Shifting Technique to escape. Seeing the footprints on the jade steps, Wen Fei felt even more pained, sighed lightly, and entered the palace. Tang Mu Xi felt filthy, with no clean spot on her body. Changing clothes wasn't enough; she retrieved a large basin of ice-cold water and poured it over herself, using the chilling spiritual energy to wash her body repeatedly. Only when not a speck of dust remained did she stand before the wardrobe. This was her and her senior sister's bedroom; their clothes hung together, one side pure white, the other bright red, inseparable. Tang Mu Xi stood before the wardrobe for a long time, staring at the red garments as if looking into the past. Almost under a spell, she picked up one of her sister's dresses, her fingertips lingering on the fabric before putting it on. It was her first time wearing red. The sleeves were slightly long, covering her hands. Clearly ill-fitting and mismatched with her temperament, yet she found herself liking the reflection in the mirror. After fastening the belt, aware of Wen Dai and her friend's still troubling injuries, she wasted no time, swiftly flying down to Cangluan Palace, heading directly to Wen Dai's quarters instead of the main hall. Wen Ming Yu and Bai Ling knew she was coming and had been waiting early. Seeing her enter in red, both had looks of surprise. Not only them, but Illusion God and Wen Fei also hadn't expected it. "Oh? Why the sudden change in style?" Bai Ling found it novel, looking around with interest and smiling, "Though it's a bit unusual, it’s quite nice. The only issue is the size—it doesn't fit well. If you like red, I can order some custom-made ones for you tomorrow on New Island." She didn't recognize it as Jiang Yin's clothing, but the others knew very well. Wen Ming Yu, fearing this silly fox would say something inappropriate, quickly interjected, "There's nothing wrong with the size; it's perfect. The weather is getting colder, and longer sleeves are just right to keep warm. No need for new ones. Now, quickly tell Mu Xi about your injuries; it’s getting late, and if we delay any longer, it'll be morning." Bai Ling didn't know why Wen Ming Yu was blatantly lying but understood that her friend's efforts in restoring the demon realm had exhausted her. She obediently extended her arm, revealing burns from the divine fire. Her injuries weren't severe, just burned by the Earth's divine fire on her arm. After days of rest, it had mostly healed, except for a lingering heat that was hard to expel. Wen Ming Yu's condition was worse, with most of her snow-white back burnt. Tang Mu Xi took a quick look, understanding that it wasn’t serious. She placed her hands over their wounds, absorbing the remaining fire’s heat. Wen Dai's injuries were the most severe. When the demons suddenly attacked the demon realm, she was at the explosion's center, struck by thousands of dark thunderbolts and scorched by the erupting divine fire. She nearly died on the spot. If not for her strong beast bloodline and resilient true flames, she would have died long ago. After Wen Fei's tireless treatment over the days, the most critical time had passed, but her soul was damaged and still couldn't awaken. Tang Mu Xi, after helping her two friends remove their scars, approached the bed. She sensed the chaotic energy within Wen Dai, her spirit sea blocked, and her soul unstable, clearly suffering from fire poison, and couldn’t help but lose focus for a moment. "Back then, the demon king and I were strangers, yet she was willing to use the demon realm’s treasures to save my life. Now, it's my turn to repay the favor." As she spoke, she took out the Healing Lantern, activating its icy flame. In an instant, a cold light filled the entire chamber. The Healing Lantern couldn't revive the dead but could heal injuries to the greatest extent. With its power at full, under the cold fire's radiance, it didn't take long for Wen Dai's energy to gradually stabilize, the persistent fire poison quickly dissipated, and even her soul’s aberration slowly recovered. After half an hour, Wen Dai's eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes, seeing Tang Mu Xi nearly exhausted but still maintaining the artifact, and hoarsely called out, "God…"
