Xiaosuisui placed Ji Youran by the Lotus Pond and immediately retracted the rope.
"Second... Second Brother!"
The three Ji brothers rushed over to Ji Youran to check on him.
"How is he?" Old Mrs. Ji asked with worry.
At this moment, Ji Youran was curled up into a ball, his eyes tightly closed, unmoving, as if he were asleep!
"How is your second brother? Say something, will you?!" Seeing her sons remain silent, Old Mrs. Ji grew agitated and demanded of them.
The Ji brothers all turned their gaze towards Xiaosuisui.
Xiaosuisui stared straight at the area above the Lotus Pond.
At this moment, Ah Ling hovered in the air and explained, "Thereās a passage at the bottom of the Lotus Pond that connects to the Wangchuan River. When Second Uncleās Divine Soul fell into this pond, it was like he fell directly into the Wangchuan River. Now his Divine Soul is damaged, Iām afraid..."
"Afraid of what?" Old Mrs. Ji anxiously pressed.
Xiaosuisui also opened her eyes wide and looked at her, her large eyes blinking as if to urge her to speak quickly.
Ah Ling clenched her teeth, steeled herself, and said, "Second Uncle was already short nine lives, and now, Iām afraid his Divine Soul is also incomplete."
"Ah... How...how can this be?" Old Mrs. Ji felt unsteady. The Ji brothers reached out to support her, only to grasp at thin air. They stared wide-eyed at their hands in disbelief, then at each other.
Ah Ling saw what they were thinking and immediately explained.
"This is the Masterās Dream Realm. You uncles and Grandmother are Divine Souls who entered here because of the Master, which is why you donāt have physical bodies. Thereās no need for you uncles to panic!"
Hearing Ah Lingās words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They then turned to look at Xiaosuisui, who was being held by Ji Youzhi. Their expressions seemed to suggest that Ah Ling was lying.
"You uncles are different from the Master. The Masterās Divine Soul is powerful, and as the owner of the Soul-Calling Bell, she controls everything here!"
Ah Ling said a lot, but the Ji family members didnāt understand much. However, they deeply remembered that Ji Youranās Divine Soul was incomplete.
Then they began to wonder about Ah Lingās identity.
Ji Youzhi asked directly, "Who are you? Why do you call Suisui āMasterā?"
"My name is Ah Ling. I am the artifact spirit of the Soul-Calling Bell, the Masterās Divine Artifact."
"What...what?" The Ji brothersā eyes widened, their minds buzzing.
"Uncles, donāt be surprised. This is the internal space of the Soul-Calling Bell and also the Masterās Dream Realm. The reason itās called the Dream Realm is because after I formed a contract with the Master, this place became the resting place for her Divine Soul. The body the Master leaves in the outside world seems asleep, and thatās why this space is called the Dream Realm!"
"So thatās how it is!" Everyoneās faces showed sudden understanding. However, they were inwardly shocked and desperately maintained their composure, not wanting to reveal they hadnāt understood even a tenth of what Ah Ling had said.
In fact, they were all very puzzled. Ah Ling had also just said that this place connected to the Wangchuan River...
"Alright, letās discuss these matters later. Ah Ling! You just said that after my second son fell into the Wangchuan River, his Divine Soul..." As his mother, Old Mrs. Ji couldnāt help but ask about Ji Youranās condition.
