However, Guan Ruolan didn't seem to hear my warning. She continued to absorb the pill while holding her breath. It didn't take long for her body to emit a vigorous Qigong.
"Early stage of negative jing!"
My eyes brightened. I didn't expect that Guan Ruolan could step into negative jing in such a short time. It looked simple, but she had paid an amazing amount of willpower.
However, Guan Ruolan's cultivation stagnated after she reached the early stage of the Concealing Power Realm. A fine layer of fragrant sweat seeped through her smooth forehead. Then, she slowly opened her eyes, unable to conceal the joy and excitement in her eyes.
Originally, there was only a fifty to sixty percent chance of success. Just now, she had endured the torment in her body. If there had been any mishap, these pellets would have been wasted.
Although Guan Ruolan couldn't recover to the peak of negative jing, she was already very satisfied. She had become an ordinary girl during this period of time. Many problems that didn't matter before had become big problems. Again and again, she felt that she was useless. That feeling made Guan Ruolan's heart feel like it was being cut by a knife. She didn't want to tell me, so she could only keep it in her heart.
Due to her own problems, Guan Ruolan had wanted to leave me several times. The repeated torment in her heart had left her exhausted. Even if she had reunited with me, she had still lost her cultivation. This had always been a big regret for her.
Fortunately, she got through it. The situation in front of us undoubtedly proved the saying that sunshine always comes after the storm.
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but pounce into my embrace. Then, she started to cry.
"Uh, Xiao Lanlan, why are you crying? Although you haven't returned to the peak of negative jing, you have to believe in your little man. In the near future, he will definitely help you surpass your previous height." I patted her back and said tenderly.
"Wuwu, you stinky brat. You only know how to trick people's tears." Guan Ruolan gently hit my chest.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine Guan Ruolan's whining look. To be honest, it was hard for men to resist the coquettish side of a girl, especially a beautiful woman like her. Her lethality was off the charts.
I coaxed Guan Ruolan a little. Seeing that the time was ripe, I wanted to do the things that adults should do. However, Guan Ruolan still didn't agree.
"Brat, don't think about that kind of thing. First tell me, how many women did you fool around with!" Guan Ruolan put her hands on her hips, not giving me a chance to take an inch, making me feel awkward.
"Three, right?" I said with an embarrassed smile.
"Hmph, are you willing to admit it now?
Tell me, besides Hsieh Shih-chi and Li Meiyu, who else is there? "Guan Ruolan was not immersed in joy, but wanted to figure out the specific situation.
"Er, I can't tell you about this," I said with a troubled expression.
Guan Ruolan suddenly got angry, and a touch of frost appeared on her pretty face.
"Xiao Lanlan, I didn't mean to hide anything from you. Ai, forget it, if you want to know, then I'll show you."
Actually, I didn't plan to tell Guan Ruolan about this matter, in order to prevent her from worrying. However, it seems like I can't hide it anymore. If I casually tell a girl, Guan Ruolan will only think that I'm an unreliable man. I might as well tell her honestly. After all, trust is the most important thing between a couple.
Then, I took out my phone and opened a video. It was the situation that happened in the bathroom on the second floor of the bar.
To be honest, it was lucky that only half of my head was shown. Even if I was very close to Li Meiyu, I wouldn't be able to tell that I was taking advantage of her. Instead, from the angle of the video, it looked more like Li Meiyu was drunk and leaning on me, and I was just lending her a shoulder.
However, even so, Guan Ruolan still rolled her eyes at me. It was one thing for me to admit it, but seeing it with my own eyes was another kind of blow. Guan Ruolan extended her hand and pinched my thigh a few times, causing me to grimace in pain.
"Xiao Lanlan, don't pinch me so fast. Open your eyes wide and watch carefully. Don't miss any detail," I said shamelessly. Then, Guan Ruolan rolled her eyes at me.
After a while, the witch Li Meiyu appeared. Although I had seen it many times, I still observed it patiently. I was even more certain that the witch Li Meiyu had taken over Li Meiyu's body.
"Ah." Guan Ruolan let out a low cry. It was obvious that she had a shocked expression.
"This, this is soul possession?!"
Although my power had long surpassed Guan Ruolan's, in actual fact, she was much more knowledgeable than me in terms of martial arts.
"Fairy master, what is soul possession?" I couldn't help but ask. The way I addressed her also changed.
Then, Guan Ruolan explained to me, "Soul possession is an unorthodox technique used by people of the demonic path. Normally speaking, it can have the effect of reincarnating into a corpse."
"Ah, so to say, the real Li Meiyu is probably gone?"
I frowned. It seemed like what 'Li Meiyu' had said to me tonight, including being kidnapped by an assassin and even saying that her life was over, might have been nonsense. To put it bluntly, the witch Li Meiyu had been acting on her own.
"Yeah, that's possible, but we can't be sure yet. However, if the body was decapitated, it wouldn't be beneficial for people of the demonic path to control the body. It would also be hard for the memories to continue. So, it's very likely that Li Meiyu's three souls and seven spirits were imprisoned in some special way. Even if she's still alive, it would be worse than death."
Guan Ruolan had a very dignified expression on her face. She had naturally realized the seriousness of the situation at this critical juncture.
The third scent that she had smelled from my body had indeed come from the witch Ye Ji. However, I was affected by the charm technique, so I couldn't smell that scent.
