Realms In The Firmament

Xuan Bing was gone, but the days went on, and people still needed to eat. Ye Xiao had a bite on the hot steamed bun, and he started to recheck his spiritual mind. Ye Xiao was sure he had seen the stele yesterday and the image of Wood Space. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t now.

However, when he just started to check on it, he was stricken by the irresistible sleepiness again. He tried to resist it, but his resistance only lasted for a short time. After that, he lied on the table and fell asleep. He didn’t even swallow the steamed bun in his mouth.

”Holy hell! What is the matter?” Han Bingxue was shocked.

He hurriedly carried Ye Xiao to the room and checked on him again and again, but only to find him alright.

The problem was that no matter what he did to Ye Xiao—scream at him, shake him, slap him on the face—Ye Xiao didn’t respond!

Han Bingxue had no idea what to do, so he just kept sighing.

He was totally worried and at a loss about what Ye Xiao was going through.

Ye Xiao was awfully weak in Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue’s eyes, but he was at least level seven of Dream Origin Stage. In such a cultivation level, even if he stayed awake for half a year, he shouldn’t be sleepy like that.

He had been like that for two continuous days.

Even if he were just sleeping, he wouldn’t snore so loudly.

More terribly, when he was sleeping, he totally lost alert which all cultivators should have!

Han Bingxue believed any cultivator who could break Ye Xiao’s automatic protective qi shield could easily kill Ye Xiao!

[Did Boss suffer any hidden attack in the fourth layer? Maybe it will stay invisible, but when something triggers it, he will strangely fall into asleep like this?]

He had been thinking for a long time, searching for everything he could remember, even including those unauthentic stories, legends, myths, tales… Eventually, he came up with only one possibility, which was mentioned above.

Hearing the thunder-like snore of Ye Xiao, Han Bingxue lied awake, thinking about what happened. He believed it wasn’t a tricky situation, and it had to be solved as soon as possible. However, he had no idea who in the realm could explain it.

[Should I go to Ghost Doctor?]

[What should I offer him to convince him?]

[It is inconvenient to seek for that old monster’s help indeed.]

Surprisingly, in the latter part of the night, he found the sound of Ye Xiao’s snore was getting lower. Eventually, he became silent.

Han Bingxue took a breath of relief.

[Maybe… possibly… very likely… he has the self-cure capability? So he is getting better by himself?]

After a while, Ye Xiao started to snore again, and it sounded louder and louder…

Han Bingxue completely couldn’t understand the situation, but he also couldn’t make up his mind to take Ye Xiao to the doctor. He decided to let Ye Xiao sleep a little longer. He had slept the last day. Although he would sleep soon after waking up, there was a time he stayed sober. Han Bingxue decided to ask Ye Xiao’s opinion when he was awake before making any decision.

He left Ye Xiao’s room and stayed outside the door, watching everything around!

…

Ye Xiao was making sky-shaking snores as if nothing in reality meant anything to him.

As he snored louder and louder, the window was suddenly opened silently. A weightless black shadow flew into the room.

The person who entered the room had marvelous moving skills. No sound was made when the sleeves flicked the air. No dust rose when the feet touched the floor. Even Han Bingxue, who was guarding the door, didn’t notice it.

After entering the room, the person waved one hand to set an energy barrier.

Once set, Han Bingxue could hear a much lower snore. Seven more barriers were placed to block the sound of Ye Xiao inside the room.

No sound got through the barrier.

In the end, Han Bingxue couldn’t hear anything from inside the room.

Even if there was a war happening in the room, there would be no sound of it on the other side of the door.

The person finished setting up the barrier and flew to Ye Xiao and stood right in front of his bed.

The person stared at Ye Xiao’s face with a pair of emotional eyes. Nobody moved. A light scent started to flow in the air.

It was the natural scent of a woman’s body.

The person was exactly Xuan Bing, who Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue believed was gone.

Xuan Bing left Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue because she genuinely had made up her mind to go. However, after moving several hundred miles away, she felt terrible to part with Ye Xiao, so she returned secretly.

She had left a piece of blank paper, on which she wanted to write the words she wanted to say…

[I didn’t write anything to him.]

That was the reason Xuan Bing used to convince herself to come back.

At the moment, Xuan Bing watched Ye Xiao snore. He didn’t know she was here. She frowned and had the same thought as Han Bingxue.

She sighed and walked to the side of the bed. She sat on the bed, held Ye Xiao’s left hand, and put her pretty fingers on his wrist to check his pulse.

”He seems fine… But… What is this?” She frowned and worriedly murmured, ”I should try again…”

She had used about eight methods, but in the end, she decided to check his body with her spiritual mind, and finally, she found something wrong.

”His soul power is too weak, and he has been to a stage that is higher than his capability. He can’t handle it, so he suffers from narcolepsy… But his spiritual soul is unharmed. There is no sign of soul impact on him. What would cause such a weird thing to happen to him?”

She was naturally much more experienced than Han Bingxue. However, she was also confused and blank facing Ye Xiao’s weird situation.

Xuan Bing or Han Bingxue, neither of them knew that Ye Xiao’s spiritual soul had been affected by an incredibly powerful force. His soul was continually being shocked, spread out, gathered together, and reformed… His soul was going through the same process again and again!
