"Mm—?!" Bexia opened his long-closed eyes, fully absorbing the flood of memories, and regained control of his body after absorbing them, restoring his original control.
"This is... I'm back!" Bexia glanced around and immediately recognized the courtyard belonging to Mo Qingqin. Beside him was someone holding his arm, someone he was extremely familiar with, Christine.
"Master! You're awake!!" Every time Bexia moved, Christine would open her eyes, looking at him with joy all over her face, then she would jump into his arms.
"You worried too much!" Bexia held Christine, stroking her smooth back and smelling the fragrance on her, smiling and saying, "It's all good now, isn't holding me enough?"
"Of course I knew you'd be fine, it's just that you always worry everyone..."
"Alright! I know my limits!" Bexia pinched Christine's cheek, kissed her forehead, and said, "This time I'm fine, and I even gained some benefits!"
Upon waking up, Bexia naturally felt a powerful force surging through his body, a force a thousand times stronger than before. He even had a feeling that he could kill an immortal god with just one punch. But he also felt that this power was not being controlled very well, with significant shortcomings in control.
Bexia's awakening was a big deal. Apart from Christine, Lucifer, Conesy, and the three little ones from the other side all came to visit, and Mo Qingqin came to see him shortly after.
"Thanks everyone for your concern, I'm fine now!" Bexia smiled at everyone, feeling warmth in his heart from being cared for. Then he realized someone was missing, and it suddenly came to mind!
"Why didn't I see Yue? How is Lian doing now?" Bexia asked.
"Are you talking about those two Blood Wolf Clan members? They're both in Luo Chen's research room!" Shitian, who was lying nearby, spoke up.
"That woman named Lian doesn't seem to be doing well, but she won't die for the time being, so you don't need to worry too much!"
"Bexia, just rest assured! I've asked Luo Chen to find a solution, and the situation is under control now!" Mo Qingqin said.
"Thank you so much, Aunt Mo!" Bexia expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me. Bexia, you need to focus on sorting out your own matters now. Improving your strength is good, but in your current situation, it's not ideal. You need to stabilize your foundation, or it will leave hidden dangers!"
"I also feel a bit uncomfortable. The power here is not very smooth to use, and..." Bexia didn't continue because besides his body, his mind was now a bit chaotic from absorbing too many memories from the Dragon King. His soul seemed to have some minor issues too.
"Come, let me see!" Mo Qingqin grabbed Bexia's wrist, placed her palm over his, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed his current condition.
"Your body is now that of an Immortal God, but there seems to be a gap in your soul, and this power you've accumulated is not from you, so feeling a bit unsettled is normal!" Mo Qingqin sensed Bexia's body and said, then she held his face, pressing her forehead against his.
This sudden gesture caught Bexia off guard, but feeling Mo Qingqin's power, he also felt reassured, as this act seemed intimate but was simply a display of care from an elder to a younger one.
Of course, while it may seem that way, Mo Qingqin wouldn't act like this with just anyone. Although she was indeed kind-hearted, she wasn't naive, and only someone like Bexia who had earned her approval would receive such treatment.
Bexia didn't have any strange thoughts about Mo Qingqin, only a warm feeling of gratitude in his heart. Soon she released him, furrowed her brows, and said, "It seems the Blood Dragon still has an effect on you. Your soul has become somewhat impure, not a big problem, but if left unchecked, it could become troublesome when you break through eternity!"
"Aunt Mo must have a solution, right?!" Bexia looked at her with a smile, not out of dependency but trust in her. Since she brought it up, she would naturally help him solve it, that's just her character.
"I'll talk to Luo Chen when he comes back, I promise to help you solve this problem!" Mo Qingqin said with a smile.
"By the way, I learned about the Soul Wood. Is it still effective for Lian's current condition?" Bexia remembered the information from the Dragon King's memories and asked.
"Of course, it's needed, and even more so than before!" At this moment, a figure appeared at the door—it was Luo Chen, whom Mo Qingqin had just mentioned.
"Where did you learn about the Soul Wood?" Luo Chen asked, curious.
"The Blood Dragon possessing me was once the residual soul of Xuanlong, one of the four ancestral dragons of the Dragon Clan, with many memories, including information about the Soul Wood, which is located on another ancestral dragon of the Dragon Clan, the Earth Dragon."
"Oh..." Luo Chen furrowed his brow in thought and said, "What you said should be true. Ancient records do mention the existence of Soul Wood within the Dragon Clan, but the whereabouts of the Earth Dragon are not recorded. Only that he died in a great battle!"
"In the memories of the Xuanlong, there's information about the Earth Dragon's whereabouts, it's just that it's not an easy place to go!" Bexia hesitated. The Netherworld Yellow Springs wasn't a good place at all!
