Chapter 94: Becoming a True Space Mage

She no longer felt quite so tormented.

The pain in her chest began to spread to every limb and bone.

Her body once again felt as though it were being torn apart.

At first it had been only in her chest, but slowly it grew larger, and larger.

It hurt more and more!

Cold sweat had already broken out on Baili Tianchang’s forehead.

Nalan Dijiu held her in his arms, gently patting her back and soothing her.

At times he used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead; at others, he gripped her hand tightly.

In that most agonizing instant, a strange clarity rose in Baili Tianchang’s heart.

This man, Nalan Dijiu, the Ninth Prince whom the world regarded as cold and heartless, truly cared for her. He meant it when he wished her well.

“Just bear with it a little longer. My little fairy, only through hardship can one rise above others. This prince cannot bear to see you suffer like this, but if you do not pass through this trial, you will never awaken your talent. That would be a waste, and it would be unfair to you.”

“I can endure it. I’ve endured pain far worse than this.”

Back when she had undergone that hellish, demon-like training, what hardship and pain had she not borne? What was this little bit of suffering compared to that?

As long as it was good for her, she could bear anything.

Baili Tianchang was no frail blossom. She was tough as wild grass, stubborn with life.

“My little fairy is so strong, so brave. How could I not love such a little fairy?”

Nalan Dijiu spoke these words from the bottom of his heart.

The pain grew more and more intense.

But Nalan Dijiu’s words were the best painkiller of all.

At that moment, Baili Tianchang felt as though their lives were bound together.

And the one bound to her in life and death was Nalan Dijiu.

No one knew how long she had endured it, but the sensation of being torn apart had already reached the tips of her fingers and toes.

At last, the pain vanished.

Yet within Baili Tianchang’s body, an odd sensation suddenly arose.

She felt as though the inside of her body had become infinitely vast, and that boundless feeling spread into her spiritual awareness as well.

Now both her body and her spirit seemed limitless.

They were no longer confined to the cramped state they had once known.

Could this be the feeling of becoming a space mage?

Baili Tianchang wondered to herself.

“Feeling better, little fairy?”

Nalan Dijiu gently patted Baili Tianchang and asked her in a soft voice.

“I’ve become a space mage?”

Baili Tianchang asked him, hardly daring to believe it.

“Congratulations, my little fairy.”

“How do I make a copy of that book for my own use?”

Baili Tianchang immediately became a bundle of curiosity and pressed him for an answer.

“Little fairy, space mages are divided into nine levels. You are starting from zero now. You must first reach the first rank before you can have a copy.”

“Then how do I reach the first rank?”

“I’ll teach you.”

Nalan Dijiu sat down cross-legged, and then had Baili Tianchang sit cross-legged on the ground as well.

He began teaching her step by step, movement by movement.

He himself was not a space mage, yet he actually knew the method of cultivation for one.

This Ninth Prince was truly unfathomable.

As Baili Tianchang accepted his guidance, such a thought could not help but rise in her heart.
