Why Am I Floating in Midair

The water encircled by him gradually warmed.

Soon, the water was steaming hot, just like soaking in a hot spring.

Grace laughed, "Alright! This temperature is perfect!"

So, the water kept that perfect temperature.

Grace looked up—the dragon seemed so familiar. It was the very same one she’d first met at the Blue Moon Kingdom’s General’s Mansion.

Back then, he’d wrapped her up, and she’d even plucked his reverse scale...

Grace peeked under his bare chin, touched the reverse scale on her chest, secretly giggled, then closed her eyes to focus on cultivation.

Cultivating in the Spirit Dew of the Celestial Pool was a totally different experience. Spiritual energy seeped into her body from every pore, heating up every meridian and washing through every corner. Her Spirit Core gradually started to glow, and a phantom appeared above her head.

Evan Xiao, now in dragon form, watched the tree-shaped Natal Spirit Light above Grace’s head, his eyes flickering.

Ray, in this life, had grown from the Elder Spirit Tree—how odd.

So, this is the reason why?

She... could it be...?

Just then, a faint light flashed through the void.

Evan Xiao suddenly shifted back to human form, caught the glimmer, and shouted, "Open your mouth!"

Grace snapped awake, looking at him, totally confused.

She saw Evan Xiao holding a drop of water between his hands.

The drop was supported by his divine power, crystal clear and perfectly round.

"Open your mouth, quick!" Evan Xiao urged.

Grace opened her mouth, and Evan Xiao placed the pure drop of water inside.

A rush of cool spiritual energy instantly spread throughout her entire body.

She immediately adjusted her breathing again, and the Natal Spirit Light above her head grew even brighter.

Unknowingly, her body slowly floated out of the water, suspended in midair.

The Natal Spirit Light above her head grew clearer and more solid. After about an hour, it slowly sank into her body, entered her dantian, and settled into her Spirit Core.

If she could stabilize it, she'd reach the Spirit Master Grandmaster level.

Time ticked by. Evan Xiao held his breath, quietly guarding her, never taking his eyes off her.

But the now-solid Natal Spirit Light ultimately failed to settle and slowly faded away.

Grace took a long breath, gradually returning from her inner consciousness to the outside world.

She looked at Evan Xiao, frowned, and said, "Still a bit short."

"Still need one strong medicine," Evan Xiao said. "Ideally, the Nine-turn Fetal Protection Pill."

"Eh? You know about the Nine-turn Fetal Protection Pill too?" Grace asked.

"It's written in the Ten Wilds Herbal Codex."

He'd browsed the Ten Wilds Herbal Codex that day, focusing on how to treat the Divine Empress, and also... the pills needed to reach Spirit Master Grandmaster.

"You can't just peek!" Grace said. "Unless... you become my apprentice!"

"Become your apprentice?"

"Of course! That’s a secret only passed down by the Medicine God. You can’t just let anyone read it!"

Evan Xiao nodded. "Take a look below."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Grace asked.

Evan Xiao pointed downward.

So Grace looked down, and realized she was actually floating in midair.

"Ah? Why am I in midair? Why am I floating? Ah! Ah!"

"Splash!" With a sound, she fell down.

Just now, while cultivating, she'd reached a balance between Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

She glanced down, panicked, her breath faltered, and she fell...

"Evan Xiao!" Grace surfaced from the water, angrily shouting, "Why didn’t you help me?!"
