Chapter 207 World 10: Spiritual Erosion
Old Bai Ze's heart softened. He reached out and gently touched Yue Youyou's head, admonishing her earnestly, "Even so, you must not slack off. You must continue to grow and practice diligently. Don't waste all your attention on this brat and neglect your own path of cultivation."
As he spoke, he glared at Chen Huyi fiercely again.
Chen Huyi sat upright, not daring to be angry or speak.
After all, he had indeed gone too far this time and made the old man worried. So, he could only lower his head obediently, pretending to be humble and willing to learn, to show that he had realized his mistake.
Seeing that Chen Huyi was understanding, Old Bai Ze nodded with a hint of satisfaction. Yue Youyou clenched his fists and said firmly, "Don't worry, Grandpa Bai Ze. I will practice diligently and will not let you down!"
Old Bai Ze opened his mouth, but ultimately chose not to say anything more. After all, matters of the heart are like drinking water; only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold.
Ever since Yue Youyou and Chen Huyi made their feelings for each other clear, their relationship has become increasingly close, as if they were stuck together with super glue.
This scene often made Old Bai Ze shake his head and even feel a dull pain in his teeth.
Thanks to the dual cultivation method, Yue Youyou's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Such remarkable progress was obvious to others at a glance.
Chen Huyi was naturally delighted, but at the same time, he gradually noticed something unusual - Yue Youyou always seemed listless for some reason, yawning all day long and looking drowsy.
At first, Chen Yuyi thought she was just too tired from practicing, so he personally examined her body carefully. However, after a thorough examination, he found nothing unusual.
Chen Juyi, feeling uneasy, did not give up. Instead, he invited the God of Medicine, who was highly skilled in medicine, and the God of Medicine, who was proficient in pharmacology, to come and treat him.
But disappointingly, even though these two great masters worked together, they still couldn't find the crux of Yue Youyou's problem.
At this moment, Old Bai Ze looked at Yue Youyou, who had her head lowered and her eyes were empty and unfocused, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. The pain was so severe that it was impossible to describe it in words.
He suddenly swung the whisk in his hand, lashing it straight at Chen Yuyi, and angrily scolded her, "You bastard! Can't you restrain yourself a little? Look at what you've done to the little girl!"
Chen Huyi felt deeply wronged. It had been nearly a hundred years since he and Youyou had last practiced dual cultivation! Yet, facing Old Bai Ze's blazing rage, he dared not utter a single word of defense.
Old Bai Ze patted Yue Youyou's little head gently and said with a worried look on his face, "Let her rest for a while. I have to go to the Star Observatory and find Siming, who stays in there all day, to tell her a fortune."
"I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong with this girl lately." After saying that, he turned around and left worriedly.
Chen Huyi slowly walked over to Yue Youyou and knelt on one knee. He stared at the woman with lifeless eyes, and an indescribable worry and anxiety welled up in his heart.
He reached out his hand, gently stroked her hair, and asked softly, "Hey, why don't you take a nap first?"
However, Yue Youyou still looked as if she had lost her soul, with a blank look in her eyes. Chen Huyi did not feel impatient at this, but just waited quietly by the side, waiting silently.
Just like that, after about an entire incense stick of time, Yue Youyou suddenly came to her senses as if awakening from a dream. She stared at Chen Huyi blankly for a long moment before mumbling to herself, "Ah?"
Then, as if she realized something, her expression instantly became dim and she murmured, "Could it be... am I having a relapse again?" Her words were filled with a deep sense of loss.
Chen Yuyi was heartbroken upon seeing this. He opened his arms without hesitation, hugged Yue Youyou tightly, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, everything will be fine."
Yue Youyou rubbed gently in Chen Huyi's warm arms like a lazy kitten, her delicate little face full of melancholy.
She herself felt very confused and bewildered, not knowing why she was so exhausted. The sleepiness kept coming over her like a tide, making her want to just close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
Sometimes I even feel as if I am isolated from the whole world and have lost the ability to perceive everything around me.
Chen Huyi looked at the delicate person in his arms and felt distressed. He gently picked up Yue Youyou, carefully put her into the soft quilt, and carefully covered her with a warm quilt.
He comforted her softly, "Don't let your mind wander. Just go to sleep and have a good rest."
Yue Youyou seemed unwilling to fall asleep just like that. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed Chen Huyi's sleeve, mumbling coquettishly, "Eleven, stay with me..." Her voice was so soft and sweet that it was impossible to refuse.
Chen Huyi smiled slightly and responded gently, "Okay." Then he obediently lay down beside Yue Youyou and hugged her tightly in his arms.
However, at this moment, Yue Youyou, who was lying quietly, suddenly turned over flexibly and pressed on Chen Huyi like a light butterfly.
She held Chen Huyi's face with both hands, and without hesitation, she offered her pink lips to him, kissing him passionately and affectionately.
Chen Huyi was a bit bewildered by this sudden action, but he quickly recovered and wrapped his arms tightly around Yue Youyou's slender waist, responding to her passionate kiss. For a moment, the room was filled with a sweet and ambiguous atmosphere.
But not long after, Yue Youyou, perhaps because she was too sleepy, fell into a deep sleep again. Her head lay limply on Chen Huyi's broad chest, like a sleeping flower.
Chen Yuyi felt the steady breathing of the person in his arms, and an endless tenderness welled up in his heart. His large, strong hands gently stroked Yue Youyou's soft hair, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
On the other side, Old Bai Ze looked at the hexagram with a gloomy face: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"Old Bai Ze, you calculated it together, so you should know clearly." Old Siming was not one to take the blame. He sighed helplessly, "That is Yue Youyou's fate. You should leave the choice to her and Xiao Shiyi."
Old Bai Ze closed his eyes, finally compromised, and left with a frustrated look on his face.

When Chen Huyi woke up the next day, he subconsciously reached out to hug her, but missed her. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a bubble on the pillow with a sleeping little koi inside. At the same time, Chen Huyi felt the spiritual energy on her body spreading continuously.
What’s going on? Yoyou can’t even maintain his human form?
Chen Huyi was shaking uncontrollably, but he still held the bubble steadily in his palm and flashed directly to find Lao Bai Ze.
Old Bai Ze was sitting under a big tree outside Chen Huyi's palace, as if he had already anticipated that Chen Huyi would come to find him.
"Grandpa, yoyou..." Chen Huyi looked at Old Bai Ze earnestly while holding the little koi.
Old Bai Ze looked at the little koi in the bubble. Her scales had begun to corrode, and her body was slowly becoming transparent. He spoke solemnly, "Youyou's body has been eroded by spiritual energy. She can no longer survive in this world."
"What?" Chen Huyi looked up in surprise.
Old Bai Ze looked at him, and said with care and determination: "There is only one place that can save her life."
"Three-dimensional space-time."
"Yue Youyou was born extraordinary. This is the hardship she must endure. I know you are reluctant to let her go, but you must let her go so she can grow up."
"Does it have to be three-dimensional?"
Old Bai Ze could naturally see that he was blaming himself: "My Lord, this is not your fault. This is her fate. The three-dimensional space-time is different from the divine realm. There is a shortage of spiritual energy, and there are few divine interferences. Yue Youyou's body can no longer withstand the erosion of spiritual energy."
"Only by sending her to the third dimension can her body prevent collapse. Besides, Yue Youyou has another opportunity."
Hearing this, Chen Yuyi finally regained some sanity: "Mr. Bai, are you saying that Youyou's opportunity lies in three-dimensional space and time?"
"That's right." Old Bai Ze said this and did not reveal any more secrets.
Chen Huyi looked at Yue Youyou in his arms with pity and said firmly, "Okay, I'll take her there."
