Chapter 30 Weakness
Chapter 30 Weakness
After the First Madam finished her admonition, the disciples who participated in this secret realm set off in groups, some on horseback and some in carriages, towards the county town.
Inside a luxurious carriage.
Ning Xiuyang leaned back on the soft couch, closing his eyes to rest, with Ye Yin's soft and beautiful body in his arms. He played with her while pondering.
As a nephew of the Third Madam, even if he rode in the same carriage with Ye Yin in front of all the disciples, no one could say anything, especially since his status as a nephew of the Third Madam had already been confirmed by the Second Madam's son.
Since he was going to enter the secret realm today, he needed to conserve his energy, so he only teased Ye Yin and did nothing to her in the carriage, even though he also wanted to experience what it was like to be in a carriage.
This, however, caused Ye Yin considerable distress.
Her almond-shaped eyes were brimming with spring water, and her pretty face was covered with a delicate blush. She gently bit her lip, looking aroused. The little servant changed her shape in his hands, making her heart flutter. However, due to her modesty and the noble status of the sixth young lady, she couldn't bring herself to ask this bastard who was playing with her.
The dignified sixth young lady of the Ye family, a person of high status, yet she begs a lowly servant from a stable boy's background for pity. What kind of talk is this?
In particular, the coachman and several guards were right outside, and Ye Yin could even hear the horse snorting and breathing.
She dared not make any move, and could only bite her lip to endure it. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger and infatuation as she glared at the little servant, letting his hands roam freely over the body that countless proud sons of Qinzhou longed for and worshipped.
Ning Xiuyang was unaware of Ye Yin's gaze, or rather, he had already noticed it, but he was deliberately keeping her in suspense.
One purpose is to conserve energy and build up strength.
Secondly, he was thinking.
After much deliberation, he decided to forcibly refine the inner demons of his first wife, Liu Qingmei. He was not afraid of depleting his cultivation. This time, when participating in the challenge of the Mingjian Tomb Secret Realm, the Ye family distributed two packets of Blood Qi Powder to each participating disciple or guard. This was a medicine that could replenish blood and qi and increase cultivation.
Each of the core members of the Ye family was also given two additional Blood Nourishing Pills, which are more advanced and refined pills than Blood Qi Powder.
As Ye Yin's master, he not only had two packets of Blood Qi Powder and two Blood Nourishing Pills, but also obtained a precious herb called "Fire Spirit Fruit" from the Medicine King Gang. His reserves were quite abundant, enough to cope with this secret realm and deal with his body being depleted by refining the inner demon.
The key point is that his current cultivation level is stuck at Blood Nourishing Realm 0.28. Among all the disciples participating in the secret realm, he can only be considered mediocre. However, if he refines Liu Qingmei's inner demon, the cultivation level he receives in return will greatly enhance his strength.
As for the backlash... there's only a very slight possibility, but he decided to take the gamble!
Anyway, life is all about gambling. If I hadn't gambled when absorbing Ye Yin's inner demon, I would have become the excrement of the Red Lotus Fire Elephant long ago. If I hadn't gambled when absorbing Li Huailin's inner demon, I would have become a victim of the Li family's revenge long ago.
With a thought, the bright white light immediately changed.
[Refining in progress...]
"Well……"
In the blink of an eye, Ning Xiuyang felt his energy and spirit suddenly dissipate, his cultivation and strength were forcibly extracted and turned into nourishment for refining his inner demons in the Myriad Manifestations Mirror. He was completely listless and collapsed into Ye Yin's arms without warning.
"Ugh... Damn it, we're in the car..."
Clearly, Ye Yin, caught up in her own thoughts and feelings, misunderstood Ning Xiuyang's intentions, thinking that this bastard was trying to absorb her primordial yin again.
But immediately, she realized something was wrong.
Ever since this bastard started cultivating, especially after he achieved success in body tempering, his muscles were taut and hard as iron, exuding a masculine aura. But what's wrong with him today? He's limp and weak, looking listless and sickly. He's suddenly become so weak.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Yin's expression changed instantly, her almond-shaped eyes trembled slightly, and she hurriedly picked up Ning Xiuyang and held him in her arms, her tone unconsciously containing a hint of worry and panic.
Ning Xiuyang remained silent, nestled in the soft, sweet embrace of the Sixth Miss, reached into his pocket, and tremblingly pulled out a blood-nourishing pill from the Sixth Miss's youthful hands, feeding it directly into her mouth.
"Waaah~"
Hei Zi, who was dozing in the corner of the carriage, seemed to sense its owner's abnormality and let out a whimper. Its bright, dark eyes showed concern as it tilted its head and stared at its owner several times. It seemed that it was only after confirming that its owner was not in danger and that there were familiar people taking care of him that it felt much more at ease. However, when it lay down on its front legs again, its eyes did not close and it kept staring at its owner with worry.
As a large amount of medicinal power entered his body, he hurriedly circulated the Tiger Intent Mountain Strength to absorb and consume the medicinal power.
Ye Yin also noticed something unusual and immediately dared not disturb him. She simply held him silently, like a gentle older sister holding her seriously injured younger brother.
If the scions of noble families in Qinzhou City, who are hailed as prodigies, were to see this scene, they would surely be driven mad with jealousy!
That's the sixth young lady of the Ye family!
That is the fairy with the best aptitude and the highest talent in recent years, besides Ye Qingxian, who is expected to be admitted to Jixia Academy and enter the holy land for cultivation after Ye Qingxian!
But now, this fairy maiden is so concerned about a nameless, lowly, and despicable horse groom.
He didn't even care that her soft, beautiful body was being so rudely treated by this horse groom.
"call……"
After a long while, Ning Xiuyang finally recovered and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
A Blood Nourishing Pill finally replenished the blood and qi that had been absorbed by the Myriad Manifestations Treasure Mirror. In fact, as the medicinal power of the Blood Nourishing Pill was absorbed, his cultivation level even slowly increased by a trace.
However, the medicinal power of the Blood Nourishing Pill far exceeded that of the Blood Qi Powder. Even the herbal decoctions he usually took, after only a short time of refining, only ensured that most of them were absorbed. There was still a lot of residual medicinal power that could not be fully absorbed. In particular, the toxicity of the pills also remained in his body. While he recovered his energy and spirit, he was also filled with a trace of violence.
Of course, this malevolent aura could also be the result of the inner demons of the First Madam, Liu Qingmei.
Meanwhile, the light cluster of the First Madam's inner demon imprint in the Myriad Manifestations Mirror has also changed its appearance.
[Refining in progress, 1%...]
Ning Xiuyang was slightly surprised that there was even a progress bar.
He had a guess in his mind that perhaps it was because this inner demon mark was too powerful and required a lot of effort to refine, which was why it looked like a progress bar.
Putting aside the matter of refining the inner demon mark for the time being, Ning Xiuyang turned his head and looked at the nervous Ye Yin with a half-smile.
I wanted to conserve my energy and build up my strength.
But now, a sense of resentment is rising within me, and I need to find a way to vent it.
Ye Yin frowned, and asked in a worried whisper, "What happened? Why are you suddenly so weak?"
Ning Xiuyang's cultivation level requires a Blood Nourishing Pill to recover. In a martial arts competition, that would be a life-threatening injury!
A playful smile crept onto Ning Xiuyang's lips. He didn't answer, but instead reached out and lifted Ye Yin's smooth, fair, and delicate chin, staring into her worried eyes. He chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Suddenly so concerned about Master's safety?"
Ye Yin's eyes darted away for a moment, then she pouted and turned her head away. A thin blush crept onto her face, which was as delicate and smooth as newly laid porcelain after the first snow, giving it a radiant glow. Yet, she still maintained a haughty demeanor and snorted, "Who cares about you? What if my secret is exposed if you die?"
Ye Yin's heart raced, and she hypnotized herself, even forgetting for a moment to ask Ning Xiuyang what had just happened.
Ning Xiuyang, who had just taken a blood-nourishing pill, was full of energy and vitality. When he saw Ye Yin's little face, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Without saying a word, he reached out and hooked the back of her head, then pressed her down in front of him.
"Hey... stop it, we're in the car... um~ you're so fragile, you look like a pale red..."
