A faint mist rose from the pool, yet it was unable to conceal the alluring scene before him.
Whoosh!
Sensing Mu Chen's gaze that was looking straight at her, a shade of red surfaced on Ling Xi's jade-white face. With a wave of her jade-like hand, a pillar of water rushed out, spraying straight towards Mu Chen.
As the ice-cold water sprayed over his body, Mu Chen abruptly sobered up. Hastily shifting his gaze away, he felt somewhat awkward, as he did not know what Ling Xi was planning to do.
"Enter the pool to cultivate, and completely absorb the Spiritual Energy within."
Ling Xi did her best to lower her body. However, the water within the pool wasn't too deep, and was unable to completely conceal herself. As the mist rose, it caused her usually cold and indifferent face to turn a shade of red. Gently clenching her teeth, she said, "Also, manage your eyes properly. If you dare to look around, I'll chase you out."
Nodding his head, Mu Chen jumped into the pool. Touching the water with his hand, amazement erupted from his eyes. Clearly, he had sensed the pure Spiritual Energy contained within the water.
Those fluctuations were clearly the Spiritual Energy within Ling Xi's body. She had actually fused her Spiritual Energy into the water to provide for his cultivation.
For a moment, Mu Chen was somewhat stunned, as he looked at the thin mist with a slightly complicated gaze. Looking at the exquisite and lovable figure within, he could see the rather graceful curves extending out from it.
"Why are you doing this?"
Asked Mu Chen in a soft voice. Ling Xi's actions were basically using her own Spiritual Energy to help him. Although his cultivation speed would increase, the latter's cultivation would come to a halt. Although it would only be for a short period of time, would there be people in this world who would do such a thing for someone they had just met?
Ling Xi squatted within the pool.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, confusion flashed within her beautiful eyes. That's right, why would she help Mu Chen to such an extent? However, why did she not feel the slightest bit of rejection towards it from the depths of her heart?
"I don't know either. Perhaps, this is something that should be done by me."
Ling Xi said softly, "Although I've lost my memories, I haven't lost the feelings in the depths of my heart.
I just feel that doing it this way should be pretty good. "
Mu Chen fell silent. He also sat cross-legged in the pool, the mist slapping against his face.
After a long while, he faintly smiled and said, "Elder Sister Ling Xi, can I call you that?"
Ling Xi's delicate body trembled. Raising her beautiful eyes, she looked towards the handsome youth with a brilliant smile on his face by the side of the pool. For a time, she was actually somewhat speechless.
Deep within her heart, there seemed to be some surging emotions assaulting her spirit, causing a warm feeling to surface in her cold heart.
Hence …
A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face. She nodded her head lightly.
"Sister Ling Xi, don't worry.
Although I don't know what relationship you have with my mother, believe me.
I will definitely help you recover your lost memories!
Regardless of who did such a thing to you, I will help you! "Mu Chen's voice was resolute and decisive, his black pupils bright and resolute.
Ling Xi blankly stared at the resolute pupils of the youth before her. The warmth in her heart caused her ice-covered heart to feel slivers of warmth. This feeling, which seemed to have not appeared for a very long time, caused the rims of her eyes to turn slightly red. Faintly tilting her head, she rubbed her eyes with her jade-like hands. Soon after, a soft smile appeared on her face as she said, "Alright then, I'll treat it as if I've acknowledged a younger brother this time. However, you can't just talk big. The current you is still too weak."
With a mischievous laugh, Mu Chen replied, "I'll do my best."
"Alright, you should start training first." Said Ling Xi with a soft smile.
Although he knew what this pool represented, Mu Chen did not act pretentiously. At times, it was enough to remember such feelings in one's heart. Saying it out loud would instead make one appear hypocritical.
Therefore, he gently nodded his head, before slowly closing his eyes. The Great Pagoda Art started to circulate within his body, as black light instantly extended from the surface of his body.
Whoosh.
As the water in the pool rippled, it rapidly gushed towards Mu Chen as if it possessed its own spirituality. At the same time, the black light within the pool continuously tunneled into Mu Chen's body.
This was the Spiritual Energy that originated from within Ling Xi's body.
As this Spiritual Energy tunneled into Mu Chen's body, it immediately fused with his own Spiritual Energy. At the instant of the fusion, a deep black light erupted from within Mu Chen's body. This black light permeated every single corner of Mu Chen's body.
At this moment, the Spiritual Energy within his body furiously expanded!
Boundless Spiritual Energy rapidly circulated within his meridians, before endlessly gushing into his aurasea, before being devoured by the Spirit seated within. Black light radiated from the Spirit's body, causing it to appear exceedingly mysterious.
A feeling of Spiritual Energy gradually becoming tyrannical rippled throughout Mu Chen's limbs and bones.
As Mu Chen immersed himself in the wonderful feeling of his Spiritual Energy becoming stronger, the circulation speed of the Great Pagoda Art seemed to become increasingly faster, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Energy endlessly gushing into his body.
Within the pool, Ling Xi looked towards Mu Chen, who had entered a cultivation state. Faintly curling up her slender and straight legs, she placed her snow-white chin on her knees. Spiritual Energy continuously gushed out from her body, before fusing into the pool, replenishing the Spiritual Energy that Mu Chen had absorbed.
As the Spiritual Energy within her body flowed out, Ling Xi could feel a faint feeling of weakness gushing out from the depths of her body. However, she did not stop there. Hugging her knees with her slender arms, her gaze turned slightly absent-minded, before slowly closing her beautiful eyes.
A feeling of dizziness rippled within Ling Xi's mind, before her consciousness started to gradually turn dark without her knowing.
Ling Xi's consciousness floated within the darkness. The helplessness she felt caused her to feel somewhat afraid.
Within the darkness, there seemed to be something fluctuating as ripples spread out. Faintly, there seemed to be some blurry scenes appearing.
It was a ruin that was filled with the flames of war and blood. A dirty and messy little girl was shivering as she curled up within the rubble. Boundless rain poured down, causing her frail and frail body to appear even more pitiful.
Her eyes were already a patch of dusky grey. She could feel death approaching. However, she wasn't afraid. Although she was young, she had seen too much cruelty and indifference in the world. No one cared about it.
No one liked it. Even if she disappeared, it wouldn't attract any attention.
From the moment she was born, she seemed to have not felt the slightest bit of warmth.
Her consciousness grew increasingly blurry, as if she was about to die in this manner.
Unknowingly, the rain that dripped onto her body had stopped. A figure seemed to have appeared before her. Raising her head, she could faintly see a gentle figure.
Faintly, she could see a gentle figure.
Extending her hand, that gentle figure caressed her head. Under her caress, her originally ice-cold body unexpectedly started to warm up.
Faintly.
She felt that this gentle figure made her feel incomparably warm.
Then, she saw the gentle figure in front of her gently put down some food, once again caressing her head, and then stood up to leave.
Looking at the gradually fading figure, she suddenly didn't know where the courage came from. She grabbed the food on the ground.
Then, she somewhat staggered as she followed.
She didn't know how long she had followed, until her strength was exhausted. In the end, she looked at the gentle figure that seemed as if she couldn't catch up no matter what.
Her petite body finally fell little by little.
In the end, her body didn't touch the hard ground. Instead, she fell into a gentle embrace.
"Little thing, do you want to go with me?" That gentle figure rubbed her head.
That voice, was also gentle.
"Yes," he said weakly.
She tightly grasped the woman's sleeve, as if grasping the remaining warmth in her life.
"But the place I'm going is also very dangerous. If you follow me, it's hard to say whether you'll be lucky or not." The gentle woman softly sighed.
She shrank into the woman's embrace, greedily absorbing that warmth. For this warmth, she was willing to pay any price.
In the end, she left with the gentle woman.
"What's your name?"
"Ling Ling Xi."
"What a nice name."
"Really? Then how should I address you?"
"Yes, call me Aunt Jing." The gentle woman lightly smiled.
"Yes, Aunt Jing!"
"Ling Xi, let me teach you how to cultivate. First, you have to choose a cultivation art or spiritual art. Come, choose. These are all very powerful."
"Yes, can I take a look at this?"
She looked at the glowing scrolls floating in front of her, each one emitting an astonishing radiance. After hesitating for a long time, she finally looked at an unremarkable black scroll in the corner.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?
Aunt Jing, can't I choose this? "
"No. This cultivation art is divided into two scrolls, Yin and Yang. This scroll in front of you is the Yin scroll. The Yang scroll was left for my Little Mu. If you cultivate it, you'll suffer a lot in the future."
"Little Mu?
Is he Aunt Jing's child? "
"Haha, that's right. He's a very cute little fellow. He's a little younger than Ling Xi."
She looked at the happy smile on Aunt Jing's face and felt a little sour in her heart. She asked, "Then why did Aunt Jing separate from him?"
Aunt Jing rubbed her head, her expression turning somewhat sorrowful. She replied, "Because I wanted to protect him! That's why I could only leave!"
She nodded her head, not fully understanding, and said, "Then I'll also cultivate it."
"If you cultivate it, it will bring you great trouble and danger."
"Don't be afraid. Since Aunt Jing misses Little Mu so much, I'll cultivate the same cultivation art. I'll be able to find him in the future. When that happens, I'll bring him to see you." She was willing to do anything as long as she could make her happy.
The gentle woman looked at the little girl's immature face and faintly sighed. She raised her head and looked into the endless distance. That was the place she wanted to return to. A place that possessed great power, but was extremely cold. Compared to that place, she preferred to stay in the small Northern Spiritual Realm. That was where her husband was, as well as the little fellow that she was willing to give up everything for.
However, there were times when she had to make a decision. That was because she had to protect that little fellow. Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only leave.
Within the pond, Ling Xi's slender eyelashes faintly trembled. In the next instant, she slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with sparkling and translucent tears. Gently wiping away the water droplets on her face, she muttered to herself.
"Aunt Jing!"
(I'm begging for a monthly ticket!!
It's the rhythm of one ticket every half an hour. Tears.)
