63: Chapter 63 Su Li, There's No Turning Back

Su Li was held by the waist, trapped entirely between the back of the chair and his embrace.

She subconsciously tried to sit up straight, raising her hand to push against Mo Zixing's chest.

But as soon as her fingertips touched his collar, she pulled back as if burned.

"Wait..."

Su Li bit her lip, her voice carrying a trace of pleading.

"Let me... think about it more."

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow but didn't press her further.

He simply straightened up, withdrew with ease, and walked to the table in a few steps, pouring himself a cup of herbal tea.

If you're afraid of internal heat, drink Spiritual Plant herbal tea.

Su Li froze in the chair.

Seeing the distance he had suddenly created, her body somehow leaned forward slightly of its own accord.

It felt as if something had been scooped out of her heart.

A hollow feeling.

Even her cheeks, ear tips, and lips that he had touched earlier began to tingle with an inexplicable itch.

She shook her head violently to cast out these absurd and strange thoughts, pinching her palm hard.

Su Li, oh Su Li, are you crazy?

He took your purity.

He holds your future in his hands.

And yet, you feel this inexplicable emotion just because he stepped back?

But the more she suppressed it, the more clearly the look in his eyes when he leaned over swirled in her mind.

She sat in the chair, repeatedly smoothing her skirt, which had already been crumpled by her fidgeting.

A Cultivator without cultivation.

Is like an ant without legs.

There is simply no way to live with dignity in this world.

She took a deep breath, stepped off the chair barefoot, and walked toward Mo Zixing step by step across the cold floor.

"What is it?"

Mo Zixing didn't look back, still savoring his tea.

"I've decided."

Su Li reached out a slightly trembling hand and gently grasped his sleeve.

"I'll trouble you."

Mo Zixing turned around and looked down at her reddened eyes, intentionally playing dumb.

"Trouble me with what?"

"Elder Su, you have to speak clearly so I know what to do."

Su Li's cheeks grew even hotter.

She bit her lower lip, forcing herself to meet his gaze, and repeated word by word.

"Please... help me repair my Foundation."

"I did say before that I could help you."

Mo Zixing set down his teacup and took her hand instead.

"But you also said just now that you wanted to think about it."

"I can see that you're still very resistant in your heart."

He leaned down slightly, looking into her dodging eyes, his tone brooks no argument.

"If the heart is not calm and the Qi is not smooth, the Meridians will become congested."

"In your current state, it's impossible to perform the repair."

Su Li looked up sharply, her eyes filled with panic.

"What does that mean?"

"It means that having me unilaterally clear and repair things for you is no longer enough."

Mo Zixing squeezed her cold fingertips and spoke nonsense.

"To revitalize your Meridians, you can't just rely on my external guidance."

"You need to feel it yourself, follow my spiritual power, and push through the blocked Meridians bit by bit."

He paused, looking at her tensed body, and added slowly.

"In other words, this time, you have to be proactive."

"This..."

Su Li's face turned pale then red, then pale again; a sense of shame washed over her like a tide.

Her being proactive?

Letting down her guard before him and actively catering to him?

When had she ever done such a shameful thing!

"A Cultivator who cannot Cultivate has no future."

Mo Zixing's voice softened, carrying a comforting power as he guided her patiently.

"Just do it for yourself, to take back everything that should belong to you."

"It's okay, trust me."

"I will guide you first; I won't let you get hurt."

Su Li looked at the conviction in his eyes.

She remembered the coldness that had vanished from her body after stopping the medicine.

She remembered her appearance restored to its original state in the bronze mirror.

She closed her eyes.

"Fine, I trust you."

She.

Could no longer turn back.

...

Scorching spiritual power slowly seeped into her Meridians through where they touched.

That power carried the heat of Thunder Fire and the gentleness of the Medicine Spirit Body, probing deep into her congested Meridians bit by bit.

Everywhere it passed.

The Pill Toxins and blockages accumulated over the years melted away like snow under the sun.

Su Li curled her body, her whole being flushed with an alluring crimson.

Fine beads of sweat slid down her cheeks, disappearing into the depths of her collar.

She bit her lip hard, not allowing herself to make a sound.

But the fiery sensation traveling through her Meridians spread to every part of her body.

Making her whole body tremble slightly.

Her consciousness was somewhat blurred, but the long-lost feeling of fullness in her Dantian was incredibly clear.

Her withered Foundation was being repaired and reshaped bit by bit.

Her once-dried Dantian was like land nourished by spring rain, regaining its vitality.

The dissipated spiritual power began to flow smoothly through her Meridians again.

With every Cycle it completed, it became even fuller.

This feeling of regaining what was lost was too intense, too enticing.

She couldn't help but lose herself in it.

An uncontrollable low moan finally escaped from between her reddened lips.

Su Li realized it a moment too late and was instantly overwhelmed with shame, covering her mouth abruptly.

But she couldn't stop the changes within her body.

Though she was loath to admit it.

Her body seemed to have developed a mind of its own.

Even though she tried her best to restrain herself, her entire being was uncontrollably cooperating with his movements.

As the Cultivation Technique operated.

The spiritual power within Su Li continued to soar.

Her cultivation, which had previously been difficult to maintain even at Qi Refining Level 1, surged forward.

Qi Refining Level 3.

Qi Refining Layer 7.

Qi Refining Level 9!

The barriers were like paper, shattering with a single push!

Foundation Establishment Third Level.

Foundation Establishment Level 7.

Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment Stage!

Stepping into Crystallization!

The moment the spiritual power in her Dantian reached its peak.

An indistinguishable whimper escaped Su Li's throat, her back suddenly straightened, and her curled fingertips dug into Mo Zixing's shoulders.

The surging spiritual power was like a colossal wave, crashing down hard upon her small boat.

It hit her so hard that her vision began to lose focus.

After just a moment, the next wave surged over remorselessly.

Her consciousness was finally overturned by the waves.

She could no longer hold on, and as if all her strength had been drained, she slumped down limply.

Su Li felt as though she could no longer move; her chest heaved violently, and she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Seeing this, Mo Zixing stopped the Cultivation Technique at the right time, straightened up, and helped her up.

He pressed a meaningful kiss onto her sweat-dampened forehead.

Su Li's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she sensed something, but she ultimately couldn't overcome her exhaustion.

She fell into a deep sleep.
