Chapter 288: Chapter 288: His Spiritual Power Actually Stopped Obeying His Commands

Yun Sheng looked at Mo Chen. She knew he bore no ill will; it was merely the instinct of a research fanatic driving him to dig deeper and explore further.

Opening her spiritual landscape would not only help Mo Chen find his answers, but it would also allow her to understand exactly why her spiritual power was so unique.

After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "What do I need to do?"

Mo Chen hadn’t expected Yun Sheng to agree so quickly. A flash of pleasant surprise crossed his eyes, swiftly replaced by a serious demeanor.

"It’s very simple. Just don’t resist me." As he spoke, he slowed his spiritual power, letting it grow increasingly gentle and mellow. He carefully aligned it with Yun Sheng’s spiritual power without the slightest rash movement.

"I will slowly guide my spiritual power to gently touch the barrier of your spiritual landscape. I won’t force my way in, nor will I pry into anything you don’t want me to see. If you feel even the slightest bit of discomfort, or if you want to stop, tell me anytime. I will withdraw my spiritual power immediately and absolutely won’t force you."

Yun Sheng nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly closed her eyes. She tried her best to empty her mind and lower the last of the defenses in her heart.

She could feel that Mo Chen’s spiritual power was gentle and restrained. Like a warm breeze, it softly enveloped hers without the slightest sense of oppression or malice, causing her tense nerves to instantly relax a fraction.

Seeing her close her eyes and her expression gradually relax, Mo Chen’s face grew even more serious. He cautiously mobilized his spiritual power, moving it closer to her brow. Every step was exceptionally careful, as if he were touching a rare treasure, terrified that the slightest carelessness on his part might hurt her.

The moment Mo Chen’s spiritual power touched her brow, Yun Sheng’s body suddenly stiffened. A faint trace of discomfort flashed through her mind, but she forced herself to endure it, neither speaking up nor resisting.

Sensing her subtle reaction, Mo Chen immediately stopped and asked softly, "Are you uncomfortable? If this doesn’t work, we can stop for now. There’s no rush."

"I’m fine. It’s just... this is the first time someone has gotten so close to my spiritual landscape, and I’m a bit unaccustomed to it. Go on, I’m okay."

Hearing this, a ripple of emotion stirred in Mo Chen’s heart. Without further hesitation, he simply lightened his spiritual power even more, inching closer bit by bit to let her slowly adapt.

Yun Sheng’s breathing gradually steadied, and the discomfort in her eyes faded. Under Mo Chen’s gentle guidance, the defenses in her heart were slowly dismantled.

The barrier to her spiritual landscape dissolved, opening up to Mo Chen without reservation.

Mo Chen’s gaze grew increasingly fervent, yet he still maintained his restraint. Rather than rushing in rashly, he carefully slipped his spiritual power through the opening, probing gently inside.

It was a clear and mellow realm, like a lake sprinkled with starlight. As spiritual power flowed within, it emanated a faint halo. However, aside from Yun Sheng’s spiritual power, the spiritual powers belonging to High-level Sentinels lay dormant in several corners. They had retracted all their sharp edges, resting as quietly as if they had fallen into a deep slumber. Yet, faint wisps of a tyrannical aura still seeped out from them—like the chill of an icicle, silently winding around Yun Sheng’s spiritual power.

Mo Chen’s spiritual power didn’t rashly approach those dormant energies; instead, it moved toward Yun Sheng’s spiritual power, slowly coiling around it.

Strand winding around strand, soft and intimate, it carried an unconscious yearning that stirred up fragmented ripples of resonance. These ripples spread outward, circle by circle, within the clear spiritual landscape.

Yun Sheng kept her eyes closed, every nerve in her body pulled taut, yet she couldn’t resist that tender, burning touch. A current, even more numbing and tingling than before, traveled along the strands of Spiritual Silk, spreading out from the depths of her spiritual landscape.

Without her realizing it, her cheeks had grown burning hot. The flush spread from the base of her ears down to her neck, and even the tips of her ears turned as red as blood. Her eyelashes fluttered continuously like the wings of a startled butterfly. She didn’t dare open her eyes, much less meet Mo Chen’s gaze. Her heart hammered in her chest like a frightened little deer darting around blindly, THUMP-THUMPing rapidly, and even her breathing became ragged and scorching.

At this moment, the monitoring devices on their wrists were blinking wildly. Resonance frequency, spiritual power compatibility, energy fluctuation levels—every metric was skyrocketing, far exceeding previous peaks, clearly reflecting just how incredibly compatible the two of them were.

Mo Chen looked at the soaring data on the screen, then raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of Yun Sheng’s flushed cheeks and trembling eyelashes. An intense desire climbed madly in his eyes.

An impulse to lose himself completely in her spiritual landscape nearly shattered all his reason. He gritted his teeth, his jawline drawn sharp. Exerting the greatest restraint of his life, he pulled back his spiritual power little by little, afraid that if he went any deeper, he would do something he’d regret.

"Mmh!"

But right then, Yun Sheng suddenly gave a violent shudder, a low whimper slipping from her throat. Soft and broken, like a kitten’s purr, it carried a barely perceptible hint of grievance and yearning. It drifted lightly through the quiet examination room, falling clearly into Mo Chen’s ears.

That single whimper sent a sweet numbness straight to his bones, causing the desire he had just barely suppressed to surge madly once again. The calmness in his eyes was almost entirely drowned out by the rising heat and desire. Even his spiritual power grew slightly chaotic; the spiritual power he had been retracting subconsciously tightened its coils a fraction more.

But Mo Chen quickly forced it back down again, asking in the calmest voice he could muster, "Are... are you alright?"

Yun Sheng was so startled by her own uncontrollable whimper that her entire body stiffened. Her already burning cheeks now felt so hot they were practically smoking. The flush spread from the base of her ears to her neck, leaving even the tips of her ears a translucent red. She wished the ground would swallow her up so she could hide herself away.

Hearing Mo Chen’s question, she hurriedly shook her head hard. "N-No... I’m fine..."

She couldn’t very well admit that as her spiritual power was being entangled and teased within her spiritual landscape, that numb, tingling, and burning sensation was countless times stronger than anything she felt physically.

This uncontrollable urge to just sink deeper and deeper was truly terrifying. Yun Sheng was afraid that if this continued, she would do something absurd that even she couldn’t predict!

She bit her lip hard and opened her eyes, looking straight at Mo Chen. "C-Can we stop now?"

Mo Chen froze for a second, but quickly regained his senses. Pushing down a secret hint of disappointment, he nodded hastily. "Of course. Like I said, whenever you want to stop, we’ll stop."

With that, he took a deep breath and focused hard, trying to control his spiritual power and slowly withdraw it from Yun Sheng’s spiritual landscape.

But he soon realized that he had underestimated the situation.

His spiritual power was actually no longer obeying his commands!
