Biji's words puzzled Xue Di: "Look? Look at what?"
Biji didn't answer directly, but turned to Dongfang Jing with an extremely solemn expression: "Little Mirror, are you really willing? If not, let's leave now. Don't worry, even if it's just me alone, I will definitely protect you!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Dongfang Jing said calmly, reassuringly.
But Brigitte could not truly rest easy, for this concerned the safety of her beloved disciple.
"Snow Emperor," Brigitte's voice suddenly turned deep, revealing an undeniable force, "the answer you seek lies in the spiritual world of the little mirror."
Xue Di was taken aback by her sudden change in attitude.
Just moments ago, Brigitte had been gentle and polite, but now she was showing a "If you hurt my disciple, I will fight you to the death" attitude.
Xue Di was not angry. She understood what she meant and assured her, "I will not hurt him."
Despite receiving assurances, Brigitte's worry remained undiminished.
Dongfang Jing, who was standing next to her, had already moved the ice chair over and sat down next to Xue Di.
Upon seeing this, Brigitte immediately moved her chair and sat down next to Dongfang Jing.
The body leans slightly forward, adopting a protective posture.
A hint of confusion crossed Xue Di's mind. The relationship between the master and disciple seemed to be better than usual.
But she didn't care about that at all; she was more eager to know what secrets this human boy's inner world held.
Xue Di raised her right hand, and gently touched Dongfang Jing's brow with the tip of her fair index finger.
Dongfang Jing felt a cool sensation between his brows, and the other person's hands had a pleasant scent.
The next moment, Xue Di's eyes suddenly lit up with a sky-blue light, and the powerful spiritual energy belonging to a ferocious beast that had been around for nearly 700,000 years directly and without restraint entered Dongfang Jing's spiritual world.
"Hmm." Dongfang Jing's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly.
The intense impact made him let out a suppressed groan.
"Snow Empress! Be gentle!" Biji's heart clenched with anxiety as she tightly gripped Dongfang Jing's hand. "It's alright, it's alright, little mirror, be good, just bear with it, it'll be over soon."
The tone was like coaxing a baby.
Although Xue Di had made a promise, she was ultimately an outsider, and what if she went back on her word?
However, Biji's concerns seemed superfluous in the face of Xue Di's current experience.
On the other side, Xue Di's consciousness had already entered the spiritual world of Dongfang Jing.
Her usually indifferent face was now clearly filled with astonishment and bewilderment.
She looked around and saw the same scene that Brigitte had seen before.
Above us was an incredibly clear and deep blue sky, and below us was a vast, boundless, and ever-surging sea of pure white clouds.
Including the one she herself stood on, there were a total of nine islands of different shapes, suspended above the clouds.
Everything is too bizarre!
Even extending to the ends of the earth, where vision cannot reach, the entire spiritual world remains obscured.
A hazy, dreamlike scene, ethereal and otherworldly.
But Xue Di had no interest in appreciating this breathtaking scene.
An intense, almost tangible sense of crisis pressed down from the sky above!
She subconsciously looked up and was shocked to see a pair of eyes floating high above, shimmering with pure golden light!
Those eyes were looking down at her indifferently.
Xue Di's heart clenched, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze even for a moment.
She was absolutely certain that if she made even the slightest unnecessary move or thought at that moment...
That gaze, with just a thought, could completely shatter her mind, turning her into a mentally challenged and useless person!
You must know, she is the ruler of the far north with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation!
Her mental strength is among the top in the entire soul beast world!
And the existence that could instill such a sense of powerlessness and despair in her with just a glance...
Besides the gods, Xue Di couldn't think of any other possibility!
The questions in my heart have been answered in the most shocking way.
She dared not linger any longer, her consciousness rapidly slipping away.
They retreated back to the real world, looking somewhat disheveled.
With a long breath, Xue Di, whose consciousness had returned to her body, exhaled.
It was as if they had just escaped from the brink of death.
That chilling, oppressive feeling, akin to death, was something she had never experienced in her long life.
Brigitte had been watching her reaction closely, and now a playful smile curved her lips as she subtly transmitted her thoughts: "How do you feel?"
"It's terrible," Xue Di replied bitterly, "but I probably wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."
"That's true. I only had the idea of taking on a disciple because I glimpsed it by chance."
"Oh?" Xue Di's voice held a hint of inquiry. "Then you're quite cunning. Your closeness to him was all an act? Or were you just trying to use him?"
"No way!!!" Brigitte slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, shouting her rebuttal.
Xue Di was taken aback by her sudden and huge reaction.
I was just asking casually, why are you getting so worked up?
Even the transmission of sound was cut off.
Dongfang Jing was also startled. He squeezed Biji's hand, which was still holding his, and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Disciple...I...I didn't...I really did it!" Brigitte finally realized she had lost her composure and was speechless, unsure how to explain.
Nothing? Nothing at all?
Dongfang Jing guessed that Biji and Xue Di might have been talking about something via telepathy just now.
Although he didn't know the specifics of their conversation, seeing that his master seemed a little aggrieved, he chose to trust him unconditionally.
"I believe you." Dongfang Jing's tone was gentle yet firm as he pulled Biji's hand and helped her sit down again.
"Disciple." Biji pursed her lips, her heart pounding like a drum, and silently lowered her head.
After a while, she realized that her hand was still being held by her apprentice, and immediately pulled away slightly.
She complained weakly, "You must be a good disciple and not lay a hand on your teacher."
"Yes, I understand." Dongfang Jing nodded gently and withdrew his hand.
Xue Di, standing to the side, glanced back and forth between Bi Ji's reddened ears and Dongfang Jing's melancholy face.
Subconsciously, she used her mental power again and quietly asked Ah Yin, who was quietly watching from the side, "Have they always been like this?"
Ah Yin nodded helplessly.
She had actually seen through it all a long time ago, but she just didn't want to say it out loud.
Xue Di inquired about some details, such as Dongfang Jing's own situation and how much he knew about the existence in the spiritual world.
After learning that the boy himself knew nothing about him, Xue Di decided to reveal her guess.
However, her throat was suddenly gripped by an invisible force.
She wanted to make a sound, but felt a powerful and stubborn force of confinement resisting her will.
Xue Di's mind trembled violently!
Those golden eyes, imbued with divine power, could their might extend into reality to such an extent?!
