Yan Yue felt the sadness in the Tuantuan's heart. She wanted to comfort them, but she was powerless and couldn't do anything.
Feeling her body being slowly pushed up by the Tuantuan, Yan Yue had no choice but to throw away distracting thoughts and concentrate on treating her body.
The pain hadn't subsided. Yan Yue still couldn't move, but she didn't cry out. However, she had already swallowed a few mouthfuls of blood. In order to prevent herself from crying out, she had to bite her tongue and lips. Yan Yue was slightly happy in her heart. Just now, she couldn't control her body at all. At least now, she could move her mouth. She even fought against her body's instincts and didn't make a sound.
With this little bit of excitement, Yan Yue used her divine sense to explore her body. It followed her meridians to her dantian. She urged all of her spiritual power and led it to all of her flesh, bones, and meridians. Just like the dry earth being moistened by rain, the pain instantly lessened by a lot.
Right now, her body was like two worlds. One was painful, one was comfortable. One was ice, one was fire. One was hell, one was heaven. They were constantly fighting against each other.
Gradually, the pain lessened and a comfortable feeling slowly spread throughout her body. She felt that many things were being squeezed out of her body with the appearance of this feeling.
Her face, hands, back, and feet felt that many things were flowing out.
Opening her eyes, Yan Yue waved her hand and a large wooden bucket immediately appeared.
She raised her index and middle fingers and slightly hooked her ring finger and little finger. Her mouth muttered a string of incantations. Finally, she pointed her finger at the wooden bucket. In an instant, the wooden bucket was filled with water.
Taking off the dirty clothes on her body, Yan Yue walked to the side of the wooden bucket naked. She lightly touched the water surface and the originally cold water instantly emitted steam.
Yan Yue grabbed the soft brush she bought and scrubbed Hei Hei's body vigorously. After changing the water five times, the water in the wooden bucket finally became clear.
Finally, Yan Yue put in another bucket of water. After thinking for a while, she poured in some bamboo juice. After a while, a faint bamboo fragrance filled this small cave.
This bamboo juice was made by Yan Yue when she had nothing to do. The bamboo juice not only beautified and nourished one's complexion, but it also had a faint bamboo fragrance that could calm one's heart and make one feel relaxed and happy.
Yan Yue slowly sat down in the wooden bucket. The clear water hid from Yan Yue's chest. The ripples of water broke the originally mirror-like surface of the water, and the scenery under the water became blurred.
Yan Yue looked at the Tuantuan whose back was facing her from the start. She was so young, but she knew how to be shy!
She called out to the Tuantuan, "Tuantuan, come here and bathe with me. I don't think I've bathed you before!"
Hearing Yan Yue's words, the little ball of body was stunned. After a few breaths, the Tuantuan's head shook like a rattle drum. Its head was originally connected to its body like a round ball. With this shake, it looked like a ball rolling around.
The Tuantuan's face was already red. Unfortunately, it had too much fur, so it didn't seem to be obvious.
It stuttered to Yan Yue, "Mas … Master, I, I am a … a male …" After saying this, it seemed to feel embarrassed and covered its face with its wings.
Looking at the Tuantuan's cute appearance, Yan Yue couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.
Since the little guy was shy, she would let it bathe by itself later.
Yan Yue thought that the Tuantuan felt that it was a male and was embarrassed to let her, a female, help it bathe. She didn't think about anything else.
The current Yan Yue still didn't know that demonic beasts could transform into human form when they reached a certain level. Stronger demonic beasts could even have high spiritual intelligence. They definitely wouldn't lose to humans in terms of intelligence. It could be said that they were almost the same as humans, or even stronger than humans.
Yan Yue didn't put up any defenses when bathing in front of demonic beasts. At most, she would only prevent demonic beasts from attacking her.
Let me ask you, as a modern person, if you were bathing and there was a kitten in the bathroom, would you be shy?
Of course not!
Yan Yue was so confused about this matter that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry in the future. She attracted many demonic beast pursuers and even caused a large-scale wave of demonic beasts in heat, bringing about a lot of turmoil. Even the most powerful ancient beast, Monarch Mocan, lost its breath because of her and was almost struck to death by heavenly lightning during its tribulation. Of course, this was all in the future.
After Yan Yue finished bathing, she also washed the dirty clothes. She circulated her qi and the originally wet clothes dried in a flash. After putting on the clothes, she put on a bucket of water and let the Tuantuan wash by itself.
Yan Yue looked inside her body and found that it was much cleaner than before. She then checked her cultivation and found that she was already in the middle of Qi Refining Stage Nine. Just one Marrow Cleansing and her cultivation had a small increase.
After calming down some of her fluctuating emotions, Yan Yue took out a mirror and prepared to tie up her hair.
Looking at the strange yet familiar face in the mirror, Yan Yue's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
This face was much more beautiful than before. Just a few small changes and the originally delicate face had become outstanding and beautiful like jade. She was now fifteen years old and her body and face had not fully grown yet. In the future … she hoped that this face wouldn't cause her any trouble.
However, girls all liked to be beautiful. Yan Yue also didn't worry about her appearance.
He tied all of his hair to the back of his head. He picked up a strand of hair and twirled it around his head a few times, leaving only two strands of black hair on both sides of his forehead. He put on a silver carved jade crown and inserted a translucent jade hairpin into the crown. This hairstyle was finally done.
After drying the water on the Tuantuan, she picked it up and opened the cave door. The master and servant pair walked towards the cave where Morin was.
She sent a sound transmission to Morin, telling him to open the cave door. When the cave door opened, Yan Yue stepped in and the cave door quickly closed.
Morin's situation was much better than Yan Yue's. He only ate a Marrow Cleansing Pill, so the pain he suffered was much less than what Yan Yue suffered. However, his face was still very pale.
Morin looked at Yan Yue who was sitting in front of him. That cold gaze made him feel a little scared, but he couldn't help but feel happy. Did His Lord come to see him because she was worried about him?
He was now at a critical moment. He was originally worried that he wouldn't be able to endure the process of removing the impurities. Now that His Lord was here, he was relieved.
Before he could be happy for long, a burst of pain surged from his body. In just a breath, he couldn't bear it and fell to the ground. His consciousness was fuzzy and he felt as if he was about to faint. However, when he thought of His Lord who was sitting not far away, his fuzzy consciousness became a little clearer.
At this moment, Morin, who was lying on the ground, felt a force lift him up. Following that, a warm current flowed from his back. The tearing pain slowly lessened. He hurriedly circulated his spiritual power around his body.
Yan Yue withdrew her hand the moment the impurities were about to rush out of her body. She walked to a nearby place and sat down cross-legged. She closed her eyes and began to cultivate.
Half an hour later, Morin's purification process was over. Yan Yue opened her eyes. She told Morin a few words that there were still four days of rent for him to cultivate properly. Then she picked up the Tuantuan and turned around to leave.
As if thinking of something, Yan Yue turned her head to Morin and said, "You don't have a contract beast?"
Morin glanced at the Tuantuan in Yan Yue's arms. Was that His Lord's contract beast?
Thinking that he really didn't have a master and servant contract beast, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He nodded slightly and made a soft sound.
Yan Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Before arriving at Guang Ming Town, follow me to He Yi Mountain again." After speaking, she didn't wait for Morin's reply and turned back to her cave residence.
Only when Yan Yue's figure completely disappeared did Morin react. Many little stars appeared in his eyes. Was His Lord going to find a contract beast for him?
Thinking of this, Morin also smiled foolishly.
He felt something falling down his face. Looking down, it turned out to be the impurities that were expelled from his body.
He hurriedly poured water into the large wooden bucket that Yan Yue gave him and used his hands and feet to wash.
Looking at his own cultivation, Morin was stunned. He had reached the point of breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage. It wouldn't be long before he could become a cultivator of the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage.
When he first met His Lord, he was only in the middle of the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage. In less than half a year, he had improved so quickly. Morin couldn't help but laugh foolishly for a while.
On the other side, after Yan Yue returned to the cave residence, she swallowed a fasting pill, put down the Tuantuan, threw it a piece of meat, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
This time, she had consumed a lot of spiritual power to cleanse her marrow, and she had also consumed some spiritual power for Morin. There wasn't much spiritual power left in her body.
Not long after Yan Yue closed her eyes, she opened them again.
Too slow, the speed of absorbing spiritual power was too slow. If it went on like this, it would be impossible to saturate the spiritual power in her body without more than ten days.
Yan Yue looked at the Tuantuan that was sleeping soundly. She thought about whether she should use spirit stones or not!
Absorbing spiritual power in spirit stones was much faster. She didn't want to stay here for too long.
He looked at his storage pouch and saw 61 mid-grade spirit stones lying there quietly. He let out a sigh of relief.
Yan Yue took out a mid-grade spirit stone and held it in her hand. She closed her eyes and began to cultivate.
Absorbing spiritual power in spirit stones was indeed much faster than absorbing it from the air. Yan Yue didn't absorb low-grade spirit stones because the effect was too small for her. It was only a little faster than absorbing it from the air. Moreover, low-grade spirit stones stored little spiritual power, so it wouldn't take long.
And mid-grade spirit stones were just right for Yan Yue. The spiritual power was rich, and the speed of circulation was much faster.
Generally, only Foundation Establishment cultivators would use mid-grade spirit stones to cultivate. So, it could be foreseen that mid-grade spirit stones were very useful for Yan Yue.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. After consuming a mid-grade spirit stone, Yan Yue finally saturated the spiritual power in her body.
After putting the Tuantuan into the contracted pet space, Yan Yue and Morin once again left the town.
Looking at the town not far behind them, Yan Yue thought of the crime scene she saw at the Mercenary Club a few days ago. In fact, there were still some suspicious points. She still didn't understand many things in this world. Besides, she didn't like to poke her nose into other people's business. So, although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask.
Now that they were out of the town's gate, they probably wouldn't provoke anyone!
Yan Yue asked Morin, "Do cultivators have twins?"
"Of course not!
For thousands of years, I've never heard of a cultivator having twins. What's wrong, Lord? Is there a problem? "
"The elder who died in the Mercenary Club was the uncle who handled the procedures for us last time?"
"Yes, he has been there all these years. I just didn't expect a cultivator from the Jindan Period to die so mysteriously. Alas!"
Yan Yue lowered her eyelids and felt relieved.
She sighed softly, "Maybe, the one who died wasn't him …"
Yan Yue sighed softly. At least, Morin didn't hear it clearly.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the originally calm air.
It was this slight fluctuation in the air that made Yan Yue, who was walking, change her expression.
Who was it?
Who was spying on them?
If it wasn't for the fluctuation just now, Yan Yue wouldn't have been able to discover that someone had been shrouding them with their divine sense.
At this moment, the fluctuation had disappeared, but Yan Yue became even more worried. There was no mistake, someone had shrouded them with their divine sense. Why did it disappear?
Yan Yue didn't think that the other party had retracted their divine sense. It was just that her divine sense wasn't as strong as the other party's, so she couldn't detect it.
"Let's go!"
She shouted at Morin, who was still confused. No matter what it was, it definitely wasn't anything good.
