She sat down on the grass, holding the rabbit close to her chest. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on the warmth in her palms, trying to find the door to the little creature’s mind.
Feng Yanshen stood over her, his red eyes watching her every breath, waiting to see if she could actually pull it off.
Yue Yue sat on the soft grass, holding the fluffy white rabbit. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to see inside its head.
At first, she felt absolutely nothing. She was just a girl holding a bunny in a quiet garden. It felt a bit silly.
The entire place was so silent that she started hearing the chirping of insects but still didn’t know where the spiritual sea of this fluffy rabbit was.
"Don’t just sit there," the High Priest’s voice drifted over her shoulder in a commanding tone. "Focus. Find the rhythm of its heart and follow the energy inward."
Yue Yue took a deep breath. She stopped trying so hard and just let her mind drift.
Suddenly, it was like a curtain opened. She felt herself falling into a world of bright, beautiful greenery.
There were rolling hills of grass and a sky so blue it hurt to look at. Everything was calm and perfect.
Her spiritual threads, which are thin, glowing lines of energy, began to tangle playfully with the rabbit’s mind.
It felt like a wonderful dream where nothing was wrong. She was almost lost in the beauty of it, ready to just stay there and sleep.
"Don’t be fooled," Feng Yanshen’s voice snapped her back to reality. "It is an illusion. Snap out of it."
As soon as he said those words, the beautiful world shattered like glass. Yue Yue gasped as the scenery changed instantly.
The green hills vanished. Now, she was standing in a dark, barren wasteland.
The soil beneath her was cracked and dry, like a desert that hadn’t seen rain in a hundred years.
Only a few pathetic patches of grass grew here and there, looking yellow and sickly.
She heard the High Priest explaining things in a distant, steady voice. He told her that a spiritual sea is a private fortress.
To protect themselves, the mind will often create an illusion to trick outsiders into thinking everything is fine.
"You have to see the truth to heal the wound," he said.
"This rabbit was once bitten by a polluted beast. Its sea is dying. Now, use your energy to mend the cracks. Find its spiritual body."
Yue Yue felt a surge of determination. She didn’t like seeing the little guy in pain.
Inside this mental world, her spiritual soul took the form of a tiny white snake. She started wiggling through the dry, cracked soil.
Everywhere she moved, her glowing body left a trail of light.
She began to channel her pink energy. It was like pouring cool water onto hot coals. The deep, jagged cracks in the ground started to pull together and close.
The yellow grass turned bright green. She felt the "soil" of the rabbit’s mind becoming fertile again.
Then, she found it. In the middle of the wasteland, a small, lonely rabbit was shivering.
It looked just like the one in her arms, but it was covered in dark, oozing wounds. Its paw was bleeding heavily.
Oh, you poor thing, Yue Yue thought.
She wrapped her spiritual "snake" body gently around the injured rabbit. She poured all her warmth and pink energy into its wounds.
She watched as the black pollution faded away and the bleeding stopped. The little rabbit’s eyes brightened, and it let out a happy, silent twitch.
"It is enough," the High Priest’s voice echoed. "You have done it. Now, pull your spiritual body out before you become trapped."
Yue Yue obeyed. She slowly pulled her energy back, feeling the connection snap shut.
When she opened her real eyes, she was back in the garden.
She looked down at the rabbit in her lap. It was no longer dull and quiet. It looked at her with wide, intelligent eyes, full of affection. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
It started rubbing its head against her hand and licking her fingers. Before, it had acted like a normal, mindless animal, but now it clearly knew she was its savior.
Feng Yanshen looked at the rabbit, then at Yue Yue. His expression was still stern, but there was a flicker of something new in his eyes...perhaps pride.
"You have the talent," he said, falling back into his role as a cold teacher.
"But talent without control is just a loud noise. You must learn the formalities of the spiritual sea. Never enter without a tether. Never trust the first thing you see. And most importantly, never let your own soul be consumed by the pain of the subject."
He began to lecture her on the basic rules of spiritual compatibility, using simple but sharp words.
Yue Yue listened carefully, memorizing everything. She realized that with this man’s help, she might actually learn how to use her ability to the fullest.
"Go back to your room and rest," he finished, his voice returning to its usual emotionless tone. "Your energy is stable for now, but your mind is tired." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Yue Yue nodded, holding the happy bunny one last time before letting it hop away.
Just as Yue Yue was feeling proud of herself for healing the rabbit, the atmosphere shifted.
The High Priest reached into his long, white sleeve, which clearly acted as a storage space, and pulled out a thick, heavy scroll.
He handed it to her with a nonchalant face.
"Write the contents of this scroll ten times," he commanded. "I will return to check your progress. If you haven’t finished, I will know."
Yue Yue’s hands shook as she took the scroll.
She unrolled it, and her jaw nearly hit the grass. It was long...ridiculously long. The paper was covered in thousands of tiny, complex characters that looked like tangled spiderwebs.
Darkness practically clouded her vision.
