148: Spiritual energy circulates within my body.
At this moment, Luo Ximei's original aggressively enchanting beauty had an added filter of holiness.
It was like a Lycoris Radiata flower blooming on the edge of the abyss, suddenly plated with a divine golden edge.
Dangerous, yet impossible to look away from.
Especially that right eye.
Reflected in the pure platinum pupils was Su Lin's helpless face.
"Revered Master, this eye..."
Luo Ximei reached out and pointed to her right eye, "It can see many things I couldn't see before."
"Such as?"
"For example..."
She lowered her head until her nose almost touched Su Lin's, speaking in a very low voice.
"For example, Revered Master's current spiritual energy flow rate has sped up."
"For example, Revered Master's heart rate is three beats faster than just now."
"And for example... the blood flow in a certain part of Revered Master's body is speeding up."
"..."
Su Lin turned his head expressionlessly, "That's because you're pressing down on me."
"Hehe."
Luo Ximei let out two soft laughs; she clearly did not care about that answer.
She was simply enjoying the feeling of "seeing through" Revered Master.
"Also, Revered Master."
Su Lin reached out and grabbed the hand that was wandering over his chest.
It felt smooth and slick, like a piece of warm, soft jade.
But he was not in the mood to enjoy this.
"The two forces inside you have just stabilized. If you mess around now, do you want to explode again?"
"If I explode, I explode."
Luo Ximei flipped her hand, interlocking her fingers with Su Lin's, pressing them tightly against the deck.
"Revered Master will save me anyway. Grandmaster also said that if I burst, it is my own choice."
"Moreover..."
She pressed her body down further, their bodies fitting together almost perfectly.
"Revered Master, do not you think the current me is very interesting?"
"The wildness of the Devilish Qi and the order of the Origin are fighting inside my body."
"If I do not find an outlet to vent it..."
Her breathing became rapid, and the hot air sprayed onto Su Lin's neck, "I will not be able to stop myself from wanting to kill people."
"All those Body Integration Stage cultivators outside are dead, who do you want to kill?"
"Kill..."
Luo Ximei's eyes glazed over for a moment, then became somewhat dangerous.
"Whatever, I will go out and see if there is any unlucky fool around."
"..."
Su Lin's scalp tingled.
This girl, her power got stronger, but her thought process was still this straightforward.
"Calm down."
Su Lin knew he could not push back hard.
This girl was currently a powder keg, and it was filled with nuclear fuel.
He had to appease her.
"If you want to vent your power, there are plenty of ways."
"Dual Cultivation is the fastest."
Luo Ximei answered without hesitation.
"And also the most dangerous."
Su Lin tried to reason with her, "My body is only at the Initial Stage of Void Refinement right now, I cannot withstand your rampaging Great Perfection of Integration Stage energy. Do you want to drain me dry?"
Hearing the words "drain me dry," Luo Ximei's movements paused.
Although she was crazy, she absolutely did not want to hurt Su Lin.
"Then... what should I do?"
She rubbed against him irritably, "It is running wild inside my body, it is very uncomfortable. It is swollen and hot, as if it is going to burst my Meridians."
Su Lin sighed.
He knew that feeling.
It was like being overstuffed and unable to digest, with a furnace stuck in one's stomach.
"Get up."
"No."
"... If you do not get up, how can I help you regulate it?"
"I can regulate it while lying down too."
Luo Ximei clearly did not want to give up this excellent position of dominance, "Just like this. Revered Master, you do your thing, and I will press down on you."
What kind of scandalous words were those?
Su Lin gave up arguing about the position with her.
"Give me your hand."
Luo Ximei obediently offered her other hand as well.
Su Lin mobilized the golden spiritual energy within his body, which had just completed its transformation and carried a trace of the spatial Law attribute.
"Bear with it. It might hurt a little."
"As long as it is given by Revered Master, even pain is sweet."
Su Lin ignored her sweet talk and tapped his fingertip onto her palm.
The golden spiritual energy, like a fine needle, pierced into her chaotic and violent energy torrent.
Unlike the previous cautious attempt, this time, Su Lin intervened as a "guide."
The spiritual energy in his body, having undergone the baptism of the heart of the primordial demon, naturally possessed an affinity for the energy currently within Luo Ximei.
"Mmm..."
The moment the spiritual energy entered her body, Luo Ximei let out a muffled groan.
It was pain.
Her Meridians were forcibly expanded by external force, and the resulting soreness and swelling shot straight up her arm to the top of her head.
But immediately following that was an intense sense of satisfaction.
The Devilish Qi and Origin power, which had originally been crashing wildly through her Meridians and refusing to yield to each other, seemed to find their backbone upon encountering Su Lin's golden spiritual energy.
They began to spin around the wisp of golden spiritual energy, becoming docile and orderly.
Su Lin closed his eyes, concentrating fully on manipulating the spiritual energy as it traveled through her body.
This was not an easy task.
He needed to find the most suitable outlets and storage points for that energy among tens of thousands of Meridian nodes.
It was like controlling a flood; he needed to both block and divert.
As time passed, the restless aura surrounding Luo Ximei finally slowly calmed down.
The blood color in her eyes receded somewhat, and her platinum right eye also softened.
Her body temperature dropped.
But that clingy intensity did not decrease at all.
"Revered Master..."
Her voice became lazy.
"So comfortable..."
"Your spiritual energy is circling inside my body, it is warm."
"Shut up."
A layer of fine sweat beads seeped out on Su Lin's forehead.
Could this girl stop using descriptions that would lead to misunderstandings?
He did not know how much time had passed.
Su Lin finally gathered the last rogue stream of energy in her body and guided it into her Dantian.
He let out a long breath and withdrew his finger.
"It is done."
"How do you feel now?"
Luo Ximei did not answer.
She lay sprawled on Su Lin, her breathing steady and deep.
Asleep?
Su Lin was stunned for a moment.
Well, after experiencing the disintegration and reorganization of her body, and then fusing such terrifying power, even a person made of iron would be tired.
He looked at the sleeping face so close to him.
Without that aggressive hostility, she now looked incredibly docile.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips looked somewhat rosy due to the recent heat.
The wisp of white hair hung beside her cheek, gently rising and falling with her breath.
Su Lin reached out, wanting to brush that wisp of hair aside.
The moment his fingertip touched her face, the eyes that had been closed suddenly opened.
There was no sleepiness.
Only a gaze full of successful mischief.
"Got you."
She bit down on Su Lin's finger.
She lightly ground her teeth against the pad of his finger, then her tongue curled over it.
Wet, warm.
Su Lin jerked his hand back as if shocked by electricity.
"You were faking sleep?"
"If I did not fake sleep, how would Revered Master proactively touch me?"
Luo Ximei sat up straight, her previous exhaustion completely vanished.
She stretched her neck, producing a cracking sound.
"Thank you, Revered Master, for helping me regulate the energy."
"As repayment..."
