"Go back to your main body first, and I'll tell you the details."
Eggy said.
But Chu Feng hesitated, and didn't get up to leave.
"Go back quickly, focus on releasing your bloodline, and don't make this Queen angry, okay?"
Eggy clenched her teeth and roared at Chu Feng in fury.
She even reached out her tiny hand to try to push him away.
But she was far too weak. When her small hand landed on Chu Feng, not only was she unable to budge him in the slightest, but the effort only left her weaker still.
This made Chu Feng's heart ache all the more.
"Fine, fine, fine. Don't get worked up. I'll go back right now. But you have to tell me what's going on."
"Yusha, take care of Eggy."
Though Chu Feng was deeply worried about Eggy, he also knew there was nothing he could do about her condition. So he could only return to his main body and continue releasing his bloodline power to accelerate his descent.
But this time, Chu Feng couldn't give it his all, because he was far too worried about Eggy. He began to split his focus.
One portion of his mental power released the bloodline.
Another portion observed the Spirit World space.
"Eggy, what exactly is going on?"
"Is it because that Asura God-Demon Stone wasn't fully refined, and you're suffering a backlash?"
Chu Feng asked.
He had thought about it, and if it truly was related to the Asura God-Demon Stone, a backlash was the most likely explanation.
"Yes. I must fully refine it, otherwise the backlash will only get worse."
"But don't worry, the impact isn't too significant yet."
"As long as I keep cultivating, it'll be fine."
"Also, this period of seclusion won't last too long."
"So don't worry about me. When you enter Wulong Martial Sect, you need to keep your temper in check. Rescuing Ziling is the top priority."
"Even though this Queen is going into seclusion again, I can see everything you go through."
"You value loyalty and righteousness, and I'm not against that. But sometimes you need to read the situation. No matter what happens, your own safety comes first."
"You need to remember — you haven't rescued your mother yet, you haven't found your grandfather, and your family still hasn't been reunited."
"So you'd better behave yourself."
"Otherwise… don't blame this Queen for settling the score once I come out of seclusion."
By now, Eggy's anger had completely faded. On the contrary, these words were spoken with a smile.
Yet she was clearly so weak that she barely had the strength to speak.
"Eggy, do you need to go into seclusion right away to continue refining the Asura God-Demon Stone?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes. If I don't get to it soon, it'll really become a problem," Eggy said.
"Then go into seclusion quickly. Don't worry about me — I can handle everything."
"This time, you must fully refine it before coming out."
"I'll be in my best state waiting for you."
Chu Feng urged.
"Alright, then I'm going into seclusion."
Eggy still wore a smile, but her condition was clearly far from as simple as she made it sound. Even sitting cross-legged required Yusha's support.
"Yusha dear, that Chu Feng fellow is incredibly stubborn, and you're a quiet one yourself. But… when it comes time to talk sense into him, don't hold back. Sometimes you can't just let him have his way."
"Also, even though this guy has been through plenty of hardships, he's still a man at the end of the day. You need to take care of him."
"That is also our duty as spirits."
Eggy instructed Yusha.
She still had the appearance of a young girl. She clearly looked younger and more delicate, yet she spoke like an elder sister, with earnest gravity.
"Don't worry, Miss Queen…" Yusha said.
