“It’s also possible that he’s just too tired and needs a good, long sleep,” Zhou Ying agreed. “Maybe he will wake up once he’s well rested.”

The Emperor sighed and left with the Empress, pulling Gu Chengxi aside to inquire about the details.

Meanwhile, Gu Wanning offered comfort. “Don’t worry, sister-in-law. I believe Chengrui will be alright.”

“I believe so too,” Zhou Ying replied with a nod.

Learning that Gu Chengrui seemed to be deeply asleep, the Emperor turned to Zhou Ying. “Until he wakes, send someone to the palace twice daily with updates.”

“Sure, Lin Yifan will handle it,” Zhou Ying agreed.

“Don’t hesitate to ask for help if needed,” the Emperor nodded. “And most importantly, keep him safe.”

“Understood,” Zhou Ying replied.

“It’s late. Get some rest. We’ll return to the palace.” The Emperor then left with the Empress. Zhou Ying had Gu Chengxi see them out.

Reaching the outer court, the Emperor summoned Lin Yifan and bestowed a wooden token for palace access. “Stay vigilant against anyone with ill intentions. Inform me of any changes.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Lin Yifan acknowledged, taking the token. He then arranged their return.

Using her divine sense, Zhou Ying confirmed their safe arrival and withdrew it.

Alone, she showered, secured the room, and brought Gu Chengrui into her interspace. She settled him on the villa bed and entered his dream.

There, she found him calmly watching dream-like scenes. Her attempts to call him were ignored.

She tried to touch the scenes, but they repelled her. Soon, she was ejected from his dreamscape.

Zhou Ying, relieved to see him still asleep, remained troubled.

The dream’s nature and potential harm were unknown. She feared something sinister had taken his soul.

Repeated attempts to enter the dream were met with resistance. Dejected, she could only watch him with worry.

Suddenly, an urgent cry for help forced her to leave.

An unexpected flood ravaged the Western Continent, with mudslides in some areas. The Mother God Temples near the disaster zone were overwhelmed, lacking water and food.

After hesitation, Zhou Ying distributed cornmeal, sweet potatoes, and firewood to each temple. Boiling rainwater was their only option for water, but providing containers with such a large number was impossible.

After assisting with food distribution, she focused on rescuing people from the floodwaters.

Finally, she piled up the animal carcasses on a high mountaintop, doused them with oil, and set them ablaze.

Turning her attention back to the Great Ming, she found three prefectures bordering the Western Continent at risk of flooding.

Zhou Ying appeared in the dreams of the person in charge, urging them to evacuate low-lying areas immediately.

With that done, she moved on.
