Chapter 21: My Beloved

Huis eyes flew open once more. He spat out a mouthful of impurities and wiped his mouth. Is that every one the additional I can go?

He turned his consideration internally. With Zhubis assist, hed damaged open one other meridian, however that was all hed completed in one other month of apply. 4 meridians opened, his dantian as expanded as 4 meridians would enable it, however he might go no additional. Any additional, and precise loss of life loomed earlier than him.

This cant be so far as this handbook goes. He drew the handbook once more and flipped it open. Staring on the pages, he immersed himself in finding out the handbook.

The photographs appeared earlier than his eyes once more. The cultivator killing his qi, then guiding in new qi. This time, although, Hui observed a element he hadnt the primary time. Because the cultivator killed his qi, he drew in a unique sort of vitality on the identical time. As an alternative of drawing his spark all the way down to virtually nothing the way in which Hui did, he masked the spark with the brand new vitality. His physique slumped the identical as Huis, however the spark continued to burn brightly behind the vitality.

That vitality. What’s it? He poured his psychological vitality into the ebook, specializing in that unusual new vitality.

Darkness flowed into his thoughts. Darkish and chilly. A shiver ran down his backbone, as if somebody stepped on his grave. He smelled rot and felt stagnancy.

Is it loss of life?

Frowning, Hui stared on the handbook. Tiny letters crammed collectively right into a wall of black blots. If solely I might learn the rattling writing

With a sigh, he put it away. Its been, what, two months? Two months, caught on this stuffy peak. No ones come to punish me. I wager Chang Bolin has forgotten me by now.

Moreover, Qin Xixings tablets are virtually definitely achieved by now. I ought to go go to her. Shes my senior in age, perhaps she is aware of what sort of vitality that is.

He stood, then caught sight of his robes. Pulling them away from his physique, he frowned at them. Im a cultivator, speculated to all the time shine in pristine white robes so whats this?

Crimson bloodstains had darkened to rust-brown over two months, and smeared down his physique from the rain. The butt of the robes was splattered with brown mud, down alongside his legs as nicely. It seems to be like I shat myself and nicely, and bled throughout them, which He plucked on the robes once more. They hung open, revealing nice gashes of pores and skin throughout. Thank goodness its solely me on this peak, or I may need scared away all the opposite disciples.

You little flatterer. Wait proper there, In poor health be proper again. Tutting, elder sister Mei bustled off.

Hui settled down to attend within the nook of the steps, the identical as he had since he was a baby. He relaxed and set free a sigh, all the load falling off his shoulders. It seems like dwelling.

Gazing at his arms, Hui clenched them a bit of, just a bit, then launched the strain. So that is what dwelling seems like. Till now, I by no means knew.

Elder sister Mei backed out of the door, holding a giant bowl in her arms. She settled it down gently beside Hui. Congee virtually sloshed over the sting. Half a rooster sat in its midst, pores and skin golden-brown. There you go!

Elder sister! This humble disciple cant settle for

Oh shush, you little rat. Eat up, alright? And scurry off when youre achieved! Mei tossed him a wink.

Wait, sister might I ask for one very last thing?

What occurred to cant settle for? Mei huffed, mock-mad.

Hui gestured her shut and lifted a hand to whisper to her.

Mei laughed aloud. You scamp! Oh, dont fear, this elder sister will show you how to. She shook her head and vanished again inside.

Hui blew a kiss at her again, hugging the bowl to his chest. Ah, Mei, on this second I might marry you. Though he didnt should eat, staring down at this meals after two months with out, his abdomen felt like a gaping gap. He snatched up the bowl and began to devour it. Heat and qi suffused him from inside out, the congee twice as delectable as he remembered it. He bit into the rooster and tore it aside, swallowing nice gulps at a time.

He sniffed, then wiped his eyes. Eh? Tears? Hui wiped his eyes and his nostril, shaking his head. No, dont cry! Ah, its no use. I missed you, my beloved congee! Swallowing his tears with the rice, he fell upon the final of the bowl and slurped it away.

Giving his face, eyes, nostril, and mouth included, one final huge wipe, Hui gazed ferociously on the summit of the height. You wont take my beloved congee away from me ceaselessly, Peak Lord Lan Taijian! Simply you wait. Once I hit fifth stageIll unseat you myself!
