Only after one fifth of an incense stick(1) was burned was she able to merge a sliver of her consciousness with that sliver of spiritual power. She then sent it into the Snow Wolf's soul through her hand on it's head, which had now become cold from the cold temperature of the cave. She felt the mixture slowly and smoothly going into the Snow Wolf's soul and settle in a region of it. Only then did she open her eyes and withdrew her hand.
"Are you feeling okay? Can you feel the bond? This is my first time so I don't know how it's supposed to be or feel like. Do you feel weird anywhere?" Shen Tianyu asked the Snow Wolf worriedly.
[I feel fine. I can feel the bond.](2) A husky voice sounded in her mind.
Shen Tianyu's eyes widened. "Did you just speak to me? In my head?"
Before the Snow Wolf responded, Rong Jian explained for her. "There's a sliver of your consciousness in it's soul. With this bond, you two will be able to communicate with your souls without having to speak aloud."
