TBOUMTBDK Chapter 71

Chapter 71: The Power of Divine Consciousness

The group settled down just outside Ember City.

Yun Xia had thought Mo Jun Zhou would wake up soon and had a lot of questions he wanted to ask him.

About his shrunken body, about the Demon Nucleus within him.

Yun Xia remembered that Mo Jun Zhou really wanted to leave the Demon Realm and go outside to see the world. He wondered if he wanted to take this opportunity to go out, how to go out, and so on.

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, Mo Jun Zhou slept for several days without waking up.

It lasted so long that Yun Xia started to get anxious.

This day, Huai Ying and Zhu Wan’er were about to leave the spatial artifact to go to Ember City to gather information. Before they left, Yun Xia stopped Zhu Wan’er.

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

“I’d like to ask you to buy some food back for me.”

“Food? Sure, what do you want to buy?”

Yun Xia began to list the names, all of which were things he used to eat often. After he finished, he saw Zhu Wan’er staring at him blankly.

“Uh, what’s wrong?”

Zhu Wan’er smiled and said, “I’ve been worried about you these past few days, seeing you so down. I feel much more relieved now.”

Yun Xia was taken aback.

Zhu Wan’er whispered, “Senior Brother, you like him a lot, don’t you?”

“…”

Yun Xia instinctively wanted to turn around, but halfway there, he turned back, simply saying, “I’ve worried you.”

Zhu Wan’er shook his head: “The person I’m most worried about is you. You haven’t looked well recently. You need to rest properly, otherwise, when he wakes up and sees you like this, he’ll feel guilty. And don’t worry, when we return to the Immortal Sect, we will definitely help you.”

“Thank you.” Yun Xia was somewhat moved. He had been with these Immortal Sect junior brothers and sisters for some time, and they were different from Xiao Tongfu. Actually, they were all pretty good people. Huai Ying and Gong Qiu had also come to see them these past few days and had even examined Mo Jun Zhou’s body.

But there was no way they could discover anything.

After instructing the two to be careful, Huai Ying disguised himself and left with Zhu Wan’er.

After they left, Gong Qiu came to Yun Xia’s room. Seeing the person lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he sighed twice.

Seeing that Yun Xia’s face didn’t look good, he said, “You really do have dark circles under your eyes, Senior Brother Yun Xia. What exactly is wrong? Did you hurt your body from being too deeply in love?”

Yun Xia said helplessly, “What are you thinking? I just didn’t sleep well.”

“Oh, okay.” ‘Didn’t sleep well,’ as if you didn’t sleep well because you were too deeply in love! But this time, Gong Qiu wisely didn’t say it directly.

Seeming to want to cheer Yun Xia up, he looked around the room. There was only one bed here, so…

He grinned and bumped Yun Xia’s shoulder.

“Do you two sleep in the same bed every day?”

Yun Xia looked at him strangely, “Yes.”

“Then… you guys.” Gong Qiu winked at him.

Yun Xia, of course, knew what he meant. Trying to tease him? This kid hadn’t even grown all his hair yet and probably hadn’t even held a girl’s hand.

He raised an eyebrow, pretending to be innocent: “We what?”

Gong Qiu pointed with his finger, signaling Yun Xia. Seeing that Yun Xia didn’t react, he scratched his head, his face a little red, and looked nervously at the bed before finally saying, under Yun Xia’s teasing gaze, “Have you, like, kissed?”

Yun Xia: “…”

Good heavens, after stammering for so long, he only asked such an innocent question?

Yun Xia teased him, “Are you talking about the kind with tongues, or the kind without tongues?”

He then saw Gong Qiu freeze on the spot, staring at him with wide eyes, his face bursting into flames. Now he knew that Yun Xia wasn’t someone he could casually tease. He scratched his head for a while and actually ran away, making up an excuse.

“…”

Uh, were these kinds of questions too much for the ancient Immortal Sects? But in the Demon Realm, it was nothing at all.

Yun Xia chuckled for a while, then suddenly felt a daze, and his vision blurred.

He frowned, but didn’t say anything, enduring the weakness.

His face wasn’t just bad because he hadn’t slept well, but also because, every night for the past few days, Mo Jun Zhou would tremble in pain, emitting suppressed moans.

Yun Xia felt extremely sorry for him and couldn’t bear to see him like this, so he desperately tried to send Demonic Energy into his body.

But sending Demonic Energy was useless. The Demon Nucleus was still in his body, so sending it in was like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to make a ripple.

Just when Yun Xia was at a loss, he suddenly remembered something. The Demon Lord mainly cultivated Divine Consciousness, so perhaps the power of Divine Consciousness would be useful?

He tried it and was pleasantly surprised to find that it really worked. Mo Jun Zhou’s pain clearly lessened when his Divine Consciousness power poured in.

Yun Xia then increased the strength, only stopping when his mind vaguely ached.

Each time, he almost exhausted his Divine Consciousness power. It would be strange if he didn’t look haggard.

He sat at the table. There was little light in the deep red forest, and coupled with the thick fog in the forest, even during the day, it was extremely dim.

The thoughtful Zhu Wan’er lit candles in each room. Even in the daytime, they were lit, and in this sparsely populated place, their small courtyard looked more like a haunted house.

Yun Xia didn’t like this atmosphere, so he lit many candles in his room, making it very bright, which also made the dark circles under his eyes stand out even more clearly.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a suppressed panting sound coming from the bed. It was Mo Jun Zhou!

He immediately got up and looked over.

The boy who had been lying on the bed for a long time curled up, his fists clenched, and he was curled up like a shrimp, clearly under attack by pain again.

Yun Xia immediately ran over: “Esteemed Lord!”

He almost never had attacks during the day, so why suddenly today…?

In just these few steps, Mo Jun Zhou couldn’t bear it and rolled off the bed, black flames igniting around him.

Black flames?

But Yun Xia didn’t stop, directly kneeling beside Mo Jun Zhou and reaching out to help him up.

Only when he looked at it up close did he realize that the black flames were translucent and had no temperature. Yun Xia didn’t have time to think too much, immediately sending Divine Consciousness power into him.

In the past, every time he did this, Mo Jun Zhou would simply accept it, but this time, the black flames trembled, burning towards him as if they had their own consciousness or instinct, even actively absorbing his Divine Consciousness power.

Yun Xia was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised by what exactly this was, and delighted that Mo Jun Zhou was controlling it?

But seeing that Mo Jun Zhou still had his eyes closed, he probably hadn’t woken up yet, it was just an instinct.

Before he could think much, Mo Jun Zhou actually entangled him, and Yun Xia was caught off guard and pushed to the ground.

“Uh, Esteemed Lord, can you hear me?”

No one answered him, only the suction force coming from Mo Jun Zhou’s body was constantly absorbing his power.

Yun Xia had only emptied himself last night and hadn’t rested, and he wasn’t a specialist in Divine Consciousness cultivation. Soon, he felt a throbbing pain in his head.

No, if this continues, he will be sucked dry. What happens if his Divine Consciousness is sucked dry? Will he become an idiot?

Yun Xia could only grab Mo Jun Zhou’s clothes, wanting to pull him away: “No, stop for a moment, you can’t absorb anymore, let me rest before…”

But Mo Jun Zhou in this state couldn’t hear him at all, and instead became even more greedy.

Yun Xia was dizzy, he had to stop him.

He gritted his teeth, and a stream of Demonic Energy condensed at his fingertips, turning the Demonic Energy into a long line, entangling Mo Jun Zhou and forcibly pulling him away.

As a result, his body left, but Mo Jun Zhou’s hands were still tightly grabbing Yun Xia.

Yun Xia was a little amused and helpless. After gathering some strength, he personally pried open his fingers one by one.

Fortunately, he still had Demonic Energy to use.

He sent Mo Jun Zhou back to the bed, and Yun Xia also took a few steps back.

As the distance between the two increased, Mo Jun Zhou’s movements gradually lessened, the black fire on his body also slowly disappeared, and his whole body softened again, falling onto the bed.

Seeming that the things he had just absorbed from Yun Xia had temporarily relieved the pain, he fell asleep again, without any movement.

Yun Xia waited for a while before carefully approaching, and after finding that there were no problems, feeling the throbbing pain in his brain, he couldn’t help but rub Mo Jun Zhou’s cheek with his fingers.

“You still haven’t woken up, do you want to suck me into an idiot?”

Mo Jun Zhou slept soundly, with no reaction, his face being poked to the side.

Yun Xia grabbed his face with both hands, angrily pinching it for a while before letting go.

Two red marks appeared on that delicate and beautiful face, making him quite cute.

“Sigh.” Yun Xia sighed and gently rubbed his face for him.

“How are you still not done sleeping? How exactly can you wake up?”

After calming down, Yun Xia thought about it. This change should be a turning point. He needs Divine Consciousness power?

Divine Consciousness acts on the mind, perhaps… Mo Jun Zhou needs more Divine Consciousness power?

Yun Xia suddenly stood up. His Divine Consciousness power wasn’t enough, so what if he tried finding someone else?

There are four people here, and if they took turns, it should be enough!

Thinking of this, his sense of fatigue was reduced a lot.
