Chapter 175 – Master, do you choose to die or to perish? (16)
“This disciple understands…”
Yun Ze said so, but his head was still lowered, and his voice was somewhat melancholic.
Yan Luo sighed softly, and took two steps forward.
Familiar cold fragrance, familiar softness.
Yun Ze’s eyes suddenly widened, sensing the darkening light before him.
“Master, Master?”
Yan Luo’s expression was faint as she wrapped her slender hand around the boy’s thin shoulders, pulling him into her embrace and lightly patting his back, with a comforting gesture.
“Didn’t you ask for a hug?”
Yun Ze felt his heart beating faster, and he unconsciously lifted his hand to encircle Yan Luo’s waist.
He immersed himself in her scent.
What should he do? He found himself having somewhat greedy thoughts about this person, which was… not good at all.
Yun Ze buried his head in Yan Luo’s embrace, hiding the darkness in his eyes, his hand tightening slowly, his voice carrying a hint of dependence, “Master won’t abandon me, right?”
“Don’t overthink it, you’re my disciple.” That had always been the case.
“That’s good.” Yun Ze closed his eyes, his hand relaxing slightly. Despite Yan Luo gradually calming the chaotic spiritual power within him, it still wouldn’t recover so quickly.
Yan Luo raised her hand to push him away, looking at his slightly pale complexion, pursing her lips. “Rest here for now, until you recover.”
Yun Ze looked at Yan Luo’s expression, which still appeared calm, without any other emotions, but there was a hint of unnatural light in her eyes, and her earlobes were slightly flushed.
He obediently responded, but the color in his eyes deepened continuously, his gaze unconsciously returning to Yan Luo’s fair face and the delicate earlobes half hidden in her hair.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Was she shy? Even though she seemed expressionless.
It seemed that Yun Ze had kept his gaze on Yan Luo’s face for too long. This time he clearly saw a hint of awkwardness in her eyes, then her eyebrows furrowed slightly for a moment before returning to her usual calmness.
She did have emotions, just not good at expressing them.
With this sudden thought in his mind, Yun Ze’s lips curved slightly, nodding obediently. “Thank you, Master.”
Closing his eyes, he slowly eased the spiritual power within him. Yun Ze was somewhat shocked by the condition of his body.
He had deliberately made his spiritual energy chaotic, more like the spiritual energy cultivated by dual spiritual roots. Now, all of it was pacified.
Usually, in the cultivation of multiple spiritual roots, different types of spiritual energy mix together, occupying the meridians and making the spiritual energy impure. This is the difference between multiple and single spiritual roots.
However, at this moment, all the mixed spiritual energy within him had been expelled, and a significant portion of the water-based spiritual energy was gone. The pure, untainted light purple thunder spiritual energy filled his meridians.
To achieve this, especially to help expel the mixed spiritual energy within him, required not only extremely high cultivation but also a significant expenditure of spiritual energy.
With his lips tightly pursed, Yun Ze couldn’t help but think again of Yan Luo’s calm face. His internal spiritual energy circulating over and over, calming all agitation.
This was a meticulous process, and who knows how much time had passed. Sitting on the bed, Yun Ze finally opened his eyes, surrounded by a faint purple glow. His eyes flickered with light as he looked around the environment, instinctively seeking that familiar figure.
