Two days had passed since Miko’s party left the Chthonic World, but they had yet to arrive at the Terra World’s mainland.
Because Miko passed out during the return journey to the Elysion Church’s branch, the Xen System on the spaceship strongly warned everyone to avoid teleportation because it might harm the sacred lady. After one day had passed, Miko still had not regained consciousness. Therefore, the Xen System suggested the group return via the sky route to cross the vast ocean. It was the traditional path to cross the world.
"We’ve crossed the world barrier. We’ve arrived at the Terra World, but where is the mainland?" Mingyue muttered softly, shielding her eyes to look into the distance.
"At this speed, it’ll take another day to arrive at the mainland." Feng Xue took a deep breath as she gazed at the command bridge. Miko was still unconscious, and to make matters worse, Miko also had a high fever.
The healers of the Elysion Church and even Miko’s disciples had tried their best, but Miko’s condition never improved. It was like an incurable disease, or maybe a curse, but strangely enough, the revered lady who claid as Miko’s secret protector assured them that Miko was fine. Miko just needed more ti to rest and recover.
"Sister, is Miko okay? She’s been asleep for two whole days..." Mingyue fiddled with her fingers, worried about Miko as well.
"Mm... If our sacred priestess doesn’t wake up until tonight, we can only report it to the Sacred Sakura Goddess once Her Divine Grace cos out of seclusion." Feng Xue closed her eyes and nodded subtly.
"The best healers are always on standby by Miko’s side. We can only wait for now." iying hugged her knees, lost in thought as she gazed upon the sea of clouds.
She wished to do sothing for Miko, but she possessed no healing skills. It was her first crossing-world experience, witnessing the vast worlds. However, her heart was filled with no happiness or excitent.
"Are you trying to fish? We’re in the sky, over thirty thousand feet above sea level..." Jophiel walked closer to her master’s saintess friends.
She had no physician skills, and there was nothing she could do in her master’s room. Only the healers stayed there, and the ones with no healing skills got kicked out because the room was cramped. Of the core disciple group, only Rafaela and Remiel could stay.
"No, it’s Yu’er in her training. She’s been slacked off recently, and she will train an hour every half day by keeping up with this flying ship’s speed." Mingyue pointed to her firebird. The little bird was tied to her fishing rod’s rope for safety reasons.
"..." Jophiel was at a loss for words.
She looked down and felt a bit sorry for that little firebird. It got tied and had to desperately fly at the spaceship’s speed. The Blood Moon Saintess even forbade that firebird to take its true form. It seed like animal abuse to force it to fly super fast in that small form. Those tiny wings looked like they were about to fall off...
*Zzzzzz* *Reeeee*
"Oh dear !" Mingyue imdiately pulled on her fishing rod, lifting her firebird back onto the deck. "You did well, Yu’er. You withstand the speed and pressure for 32 minutes. That’s two minutes longer than your first attempt."
"..." Yu’er, the firebird, desperately caught her breath. She almost died in the sky to keep up with the spaceship’s speed.
Nobody could tell how many feathers she had lost during this extre training, but her gaze imdiately turned upward as if she could see her ancestor spirit, calling for her.
"She is dying and on the brink of passing out. You pushed it too hard. Take it to healers imdiately." Jophiel flinched a bit because this Blood Moon Saintess still smiled, unaware of the dying bird...
"Uh-huh?" Mingyue was stunned at it, but she soon realized her firebird was over-exhausted. Her firebird managed to keep up with the first training for 30 minutes, but to try the second attempt in just 12 hours was probably too much.
Once she realized it, she hurriedly ran to Miko’s room to et the Elysion Church’s healers. Feng Xue hurriedly followed Mingyue, leaving iying and Jophiel behind.
"What a psycho. She is not ready to take care of a pet." Jophiel shook her head.
"That bird is her mount. It should be her beast companion, but she is so clueless and silly at things..." iying sighed.
"She is also easily deceived. I wonder how she can survive that long in the cultivation world."
"That might be her luck. She is a gullible, but honest girl."
"You’re right. Sotis the stupid could be seen as cute. Want a cup of tea?"
"Thanks."
Jophiel offered a cup of hot tea and sat down beside iying. Thanks to the spaceship’s force field, they could enjoy the gentle breeze even though the spaceship was traveling at high speed.
"Are you alright? You have bags under your eyes, and you look stressed and under-rested." iying looked aside, feeling concerned over this sweet-looking, devilish beauty.
"I’m okay..." Jophiel took a big sip of her morning tea. She couldn’t do anything to help her master and sleep because of it, and it stressed her a lot.
Her master was still passed out, and what Lady Shiina said couldn’t reassure her. She once thought she could wake her master up with a kiss like in a fairy tale, but Rafaela pushed her out of the room.
Her master was so hot. The fever caused the temperature to rise to around 50-60 degrees Celsius, but this occasion was so mild compared to the previous one when her master had just severely hard a Demon God at that magic academy.
"Why did she push out? She even did the CPR before, kissing master’s cherry lips repeatedly, and it managed to wake master up..." Jophiel grumbled under her breath, feeling a bit annoyed with her second sister.
"Huh, what did you say?" iying failed to hear what Jophiel said.
"No, it’s nothing. Goddess Master will co out of seclusion in 8 hours. If master still hasn’t woken up, then Goddess Master is our only hope." Jophiel felt a little embarrassed because she spoke it out loud, but fortunately, her complaint murmur was lost in the wind.
’Jophi, don’t sulk because I pushed you out. Master just woke up. Co here now.’ Rafaela contacted Jophiel via telepathy.
"Eh?" Jophiel dropped her tea, but she rushed back to the command bridge as she had to head straight to her master’s resting chamber as soon as possible.
"Hey, what happened?" iying was shocked and followed Jophiel, but Jophiel never answered her.
Upon arriving at the command bridge, Miko’s resting chamber was crowded with people, but they got blocked at the entrance door by Elysion Chruch’s priestesses.
"Move!" Jophiel bared her teeth, and the priestesses imdiately made way for her.
Once she caught the sight of her master, her beloved mama, already regained consciousness. Sitting up with a gentle expression and a soft lodious voice when speaking, she imdiately approached and hugged her master carefully. "Master, you finally regained consciousness! Uweee!"
"Oh my~ I’m actually fine, just need more rest. Sorry for making you all worry." Miko was surprised by Jophiel’s sudden emotional outburst. Her fainting had made many people worried.
"I didn’t suffer any harm. Didn’t Lady Shiina notify you?" Miko looked at Agent Brown questioningly.
"They don’t seem convinced by my words." Shiina shrugged her shoulders with a sigh. Everyone would definitely be worried if Miko passed out all of a sudden like that, and she had no chemistry enough to gain everyone’s trust.
"It can’t be helped, master. We need to ensure your safety and well-being..." Rafaela lowered her head, feeling a little guilty.
"Mm, no matter what, thank you for taking care of . However, I can see you haven’t had enough rest because of . Since I’ve regained consciousness, please return to your room and rest." Miko nodded, feeling grateful for every one. She then looked aside, calling sothing out of thin air. "Little Xen, how long will it take us to arrive at Sacred Sakura?"
"We’ll arrive at Sacred Sakura in 28 hours, but since you’ve regained consciousness, we’ll speed up. We’ll avoid warp devices. We’ll arrive in 7 hours. Requesting permission to speed up." The Little Xen erged as a hologram, to report.
"Permission granted, speed up and make sure all passengers are unaffected by the G-force." Miko gave her permission.
"Affirmative." Little Xen saluted and disappeared. The spaceship soon accelerated to maximum speed, but the force field made the passengers on the spaceship barely notice it.
Miko stroked Jophiel’s long hair and looked down. Jophiel went silent all of a sudden, and when she realized it, Jophiel was asleep in a kneeling position, still hugging her waist.
"Asleep? I’ll move her to her bed." Gabriella grabbed Jophiel, but she couldn’t move the sleeping girl easily because Jophiel hugged their master in a deadlock, not letting go even in sleep.
"She must be exhausted. Let her sleep on this bed. We will arrive in seven hours, you also need to rest. There are many beds here, so just use them." Miko faintly smiled.
"Mm..." Gabriella nodded in reply. She called Rafaela and Remiel to help her move Jophiel to lie on the bed, next to their master.
Jophiel was sleeping soundly, hugging their master’s waist tightly. So disciples felt a little envious, but they didn’t dare to copy it as they were not as shaless as Jophiel.
Since their master had spoken and they really needed rest, they went to the other beds in that room. Besides the core female disciples and healers, Gabriella kicked out the others, especially the males, and asked them to return to their room to get proper rest before they arrived at Sacred Sakura.
"I haven’t even said anything to Miko..." Mingyue muttered in grievance. Gabriella was so fierce, and she couldn’t retort with anything when kicked out of the room. Fortunately, her Yu’er had been treated and healed, back in good condition. "Sorry, Yu’er. I pushed you too hard. I’ll find the proper exercise for you later."
"Chirp!" Yu’er chirped in agreent. She never blad her owner, but she really required her exclusive training, but it had to be done in a fiery fire field!
