9 Nightmare
Mo Chen went out of the guest room after getting dressed. He sensed an aura in the air and quickly made a seal with both hands, covering Feng Manor and preventing the aura from spreading and causing a commotion.
He headed straight to Feng Jiu’s courtyard, meeting other Feng Manor residents on the way. Before he could speak, Feng Xiao already questioned him, “Mo Chen, what’s going on?”
“There’s something wrong with Feng Jiu. This aura belongs to her,” Mo Chen stated as he walked towards Feng Jiu’s courtyard. The pressure became more oppressive the closer he got to the courtyard.
Feng Xiao, Feng Sanyuan and others tried to get close, but the pressure was so intense that they were pushed back and couldn’t even get into the courtyard.
“Wait outside! The aura and pressure emanating from her are too strong. You might get hurt if you come in.” Mo Chen told the people behind him before stepping inside.
As Mo Chen slowly opened the door and went inside, everyone saw a light covering him that blocked out the surrounding pressure and airflow.
“Leng Shuang, what happened? Is Little Jiu inside? Did something happen to her? Didn’t you watch over this courtyard?” Feng Sanyuan, worried, looked at Leng Shuang.
At this time, Leng Shuang looked pale, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth. After a moment to calm down, she told Feng Sanyuan, “I was indeed in the courtyard, but suddenly, an overwhelming pressure surged from the Master’s room. I tried to check, but I was pushed out of the courtyard. I don’t know what happened, but no outsiders came during this time.”
Everyone’s frown deepened at this news. If no outsiders had come, what could have caused this? What was going on?
They were worried and wanted to see what was happening, but the disparity in strength made it impossible to get close. So, they were forced to wait outside.
When Mo Chen walked into the room, he was shocked by the aura and pressure that permeated inside. When he saw Feng Jiu on the bed, he frowned and quickened his pace.
“Ah Jiu! Ah Jiu, wake up!”
He called out, gently shaking her. Yet, she showed no signs of waking. Her face was pale, contorted in pain, as if she were going through a harrowing experience.
“Ah Jiu! Wake up!”
He kept calling but to no avail. He thought she had met a problem during cultivation, but then realised that her condition looked more like a nightmare. What kind of dream could trap her like this, causing her such pain?
After seeing her clenched fists and the agony on her face, Mo Chen worried that she would succumb to her inner demons and explode to death if this continued. He helped her up right away, then sat crosslegged behind her, his palms condensing his body’s energy breath.
Golden light poured from his palms. The golden spirit energy flowed into her body, suppressing the violent aura around her.
“Ah Jiu, wake up! Ah Jiu!”
Feng Jiu heard a frantic voice calling her, drowning out all the other noises in her mind. She also sensed a cool energy circulating within her. The violent aura around her gradually dissipated, the voice became clearer, and she started to calm down.
“Ah Jiu, it’s me, Mo Chen. Ah Jiu, wake up…”
As soon as she heard that voice, her eyes sprung open. The energy circulated within her body, and she instinctively pushed back.
“Pfftttt!”
