Lin Guang gathered his strength, took the towel Lisa handed over, and wiped the sweat and blood off his forehead, while he introspected the Sea of Spirit.
The originally tumultuous ocean of Spiritual Power, like waves whipped up by a storm, had now almost completely cald down. Although there were occasional aftershocks, they were entirely insignificant.
"Not bad."
His eyes, still burning with dark golden flas, revealed a satisfied expression. Lin Guang barely lifted the corners of his mouth, showing a smile, "If it's just the sa level of training as before, it won't affect for at least three days."
"Even if I occasionally go all out, it won't be a problem, just that the interval for treatnt needs to be shortened."
When it ca to self-treatnt, especially the tricky issue of the Sea of Spirit, Lin Guang had not had much confidence in succeeding in one go. At most, he could rely on the mory and experience from the inheritance to ensure his safety without worsening.
Fortunately, his extraordinary Willpower and unusual Spiritual Power forcibly supported the activation of the Spirit Rune Array, completing a comprehensive treatnt.
Although the source of the tremor, the contract with Chelina, still resided in the Sea of Spirit.
But as long as it's regularly soothed, then with his personal Level improvent, treatnt in Kaiwen's ditation Pod, and the passage of ti, this influence will slowly dissipate until fully healed.
To say sothing that may sound a bit boastful.
Pain is just pain.
As long as there is a way to suppress the symptoms during this period, this problem is tantamount to being cured without affecting anything.
But... Vishdair and Lisa clearly didn't think so.
"Really, once every three days?"
The silver-haired girl's brows were tightly knit, "Then taking dicine is just the sa, and you don't have to suffer like this."
Lin Guang shook his head: "It's different."
"This thod is extrely sophisticated, the cost is only pain, and it consus Ethereal Crystals depending on personal Level. Apart from that, there are no side effects, it's just that it can't permanently calm the effects."
"But long-term dication to stabilize the Sea of Spirit is different, it might affect my future potential."
"Brother Lin Guang..." Lisa bit her lip.
"Alright."
Lin Guang suddenly patted his face, moved to the side of the bed, and stood up, projecting an energetic Status.
"It's just so pain, it's not like I'm injured or sick, no need to worry."
He opened the cupboard, took out a change of clothes, and stepped into the bathroom.
"I'll take a shower, then you all should also rest early."
Thus, the room was left with only three people.
The atmosphere fell into silence.
Vishdair suddenly turned her head and looked at Chelina, her amber eyes flashing with anger.
She suppressed her voice, but her tone was icy: "Rember, all of this was caused by you, don't act as if it has nothing to do with you!"
"..."
The black-haired girl stood quietly to the side, her eyes downcast, not refuting.
Lisa, however, suddenly spoke softly: "Actually, it's not Chelina's fault either..."
Vishdair took a deep breath, her full chest rising and falling.
Rationally, she knew Lin Guang actively contracted and provoked her.
But so what?
If not her, would they bla Lin Guang?
But to her surprise, Chelina suddenly spoke, her voice soft: "I could just feel it, this kind of pain... is as unbearable as it was for back then."
"I think taking so potions in between to allow himself a breather would be better."
"Otherwise... over ti, he might not be able to bear it."
"He's not that weak."
With a cold snort, Vishdair turned her back, seemingly not wanting to see Chelina's face anymore, but then sighed softly.
"Moreover, it's useless."
"Once he decides on sothing, no one can change his mind."
"He's just that kind of person."
With that said, she also left the room.
"..."
...
The night deepened.
Lin Guang wore pajamas and lay on his bed, covered with a thin blanket, with a green badge placed on the bedside.
Even soone as resilient as Lin Guang couldn't instantly adapt to this post-treatnt fatigue, and after realizing how low his ditation efficiency was, he simply fell asleep.
Beside his head, Lily in her beast form had her nine tails spiraling together, shaping herself into a golden fox ball, with a blue-pink spiritual power glow emanating from her eyes.
At a certain mont.
Lily's ears suddenly twitched, and her large golden-green eyes abruptly opened, warily glancing towards the doorway.
— All along, Lily's proficiency and level in ditation were not as advanced as Lin Guang's, making it hard for her to imrse herself as deeply as he did in a state akin to deep sleep.
Therefore, she heard the sound of soone's footsteps stepping on the ground.
As the sound grew nearer, the door was pushed open with a gentle thud.
In an instant, the little fox's eyes widened swiftly.
She saw a girl with black hair and a balanced physique, with wolf ears, walking in with light steps.
It was Chelina, who had originally been sleeping on the sofa.
She was wearing a not very loose white shirt, with the pattern pushed up to just the right curve, and below she wore a black triangle piece just covering her hips.
Thus, her slender, long, and straight snowy-white legs were all exposed to the air.
It was evident that Chelina didn't seem to be fully conscious at this mont.
Her eyes were half-open, half-closed, as if sleepwalking, appearing unsteady, yet her bare, fair feet were lightly and justly balanced on the floor, her toes, like white jade, supporting her body as she slowly approached Lin Guang's bed.
In Lily's shocked gaze, Chelina slowly crawled onto Lin Guang's bed from the side, moving forward inch by inch like a progressing she-wolf, with her palms and knees, approaching the boy step by step.
The girl's slender wolf tail swayed behind her, her eyes bewildered, and then she gently leaned her face on the boy's neck, her nostrils twitching incessantly as if slling sothing, even lightly sticking out her tongue for a lick.
Afterward, as if confirming sothing, she reached out and tightly embraced the boy.
Perhaps due to the exhaustion from the treatnt, the boy was in a deep sleep, showing no signs of waking up.
In fact, after the girl held him, he even appeared more relaxed, as if the burden he was bearing had been reduced.
Lily moved a few steps back instinctively with her already water-clear and lovely big eyes widened even more.
— So this was what the scene in the morning was about!
Watching the girl, clothes disheveled, tightly hugging the boy, Lily realized sothing, let out a slight hum, and couldn't help but use her big tail to block her sight.
But whether intentionally or due to a fluster, her shy little gaze slipped through the gaps of her tail, revealing everything.
Hesitating for quite a while, Lily seed to finally make up her mind, extending her paw to gently press on Chelina's body, then calling softly into her ear.
"w—"
Chelina's wolf ears twitched, then she slightly lifted her eyelids, her eyes gradually brightening.
"...?"
Upon discovering where she was, holding Lin Guang tightly in her arms, a flash of clear astonishnt crossed her eyes.
Chelina instantly turned her head, seeing the golden little fox that woke her up.
Lily let out a soft call.
Chelina instinctively raised her hand to pet her but paused above Lily's head, seeming to hesitate about whether it would be impolite to do so.
But in the next mont, Lily willingly stood on her toes, offering her little head.
Chelina blinked slightly, then scratched its little head.
"w—"
Her mouth lifted into a subtle smile.
Subsequently, Chelina turned her head to look at the boy imrsed in ditation.
"Such a strong connection, instinctively drawn near..."
She sighed lightly.
"w?"
Chelina gently said, "...I'm okay, and so is he."
"It's just that separating might be a bit hard for now."
She stopped her hand from petting Lily, "Let's rest, it's quite late."
Lily obediently curled up again beside Lin Guang's pillow, wrapping her small body with her tail, closing her eyes.
"..."
Chelina leaned down, her black and red hair smoothly flowing, sliding onto the boy's collarbone, her orange-red eyes fixed on his handso face, placing her fair hand on the boy's chest, feeling a heartbeat almost in sync with her own, a rather complex emotion washing over her delicate face.
It seed to be...a sense of empathy, the shared plight of "victims."
"Sorry."
The girl gently reached out to encircle Lin Guang, turning her entire body to fall sideways, resting her head on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes just like that, her breathing gradually becoming steady.
