Chapter 205: [Ordinary Mortal?] (6600)
Lu Sisi’s face was pale, her eyes full of confusion and panic. Helplessly looking at Chen Yan, she trembled: "I, I don’t know, I don’t know what happened. It, the Primordial Qi just..."
At this point, Lu Sisi broke down emotionally, bursting into tears: "It just dissipated like that!"
Chen Yan’s face was ashen, but he gritted his teeth, wrapped his arms around Lu Sisi, and swiftly injected an entire surge of Primordial Qi into her body. After circulating it once within her, the last bit of hope in his heart finally disappeared.
Inside Lu Sisi’s body was emptiness, not a trace of Primordial Qi to be found. Moreover, the "affinity" acquired over the past three days had completely vanished.
The Primordial Qi nourishing effect of three days had originally granted the physical form a certain level of spirituality, but now it reverted entirely to mere mortal flesh!
Seeing Lu Sisi’s eyes reddening, tears falling from her eyes, Chen Yan took a deep breath, gently wiped her tears with his fingers, and whispered, "Don’t worry, maybe something went wrong somewhere. Let’s not rush."
Following that, Chen Yan guided Lu Sisi in aligning her Primordial Qi, but after an attempt, the Primordial Qi Transport Technique, practiced skillfully over these three days, could no longer capture a single wisp of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Chen Yan was silent for a while before having Lu Sisi cease her futile efforts.
"Just... stop for now." Chen Yan forced a smile: "Maybe, maybe one Spirit Communication Pill isn’t enough. After some time, I’ll get another to try."
Lu Sisi’s eyes were red, but she remained silent and slowly rose from the meditation mat to sit behind Chen Yan, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Chen Yan... just let it go."
"Hmm?"
"Don’t trouble yourself with my cultivation anymore." Lu Sisi’s voice was very soft, her face resting against Chen Yan’s back, she murmured: "Perhaps, I really don’t have any talent for cultivation. Don’t waste your energy on someone like me who has no cultivation talent."
As she spoke, Chen Yan felt the fabric of his shirt on his back gradually becoming damp, the sensation cool.
"That Spirit Communication Pill, it’s very precious, isn’t it?" Lu Sisi softly asked: "Don’t get such precious elixirs for me anymore. I can be fine without cultivating. I... I just want to be healthy, live a few more years, spend a few more years with you. Whether I can cultivate immortality doesn’t truly matter to me."
Saying this, Lu Sisi already moved in front of Chen Yan, cupping his face in her hands, giving him a peck on the lips. The girl had a reluctant smile in her eyes: "You know, I’m lovestruck, I don’t care about cultivation. After all, I should be able to live many more years than before now, I’m really quite content already.
That Spirit Communication Pill must be very precious. Don’t trouble yourself with getting such precious elixirs for me anymore."
That day, after they left the practice room, the two washed up and rested.
Three days and nights of cultivation had already left Lu Sisi extremely exhausted.
After finishing washing, Chen Yan lay on the bed, holding Lu Sisi, and gently fed her a Nourishing God Pill.
Besides soothing Primordial Spirit injuries, the Nourishing God Pill also has the effect of calming the Primordial Spirit.
After Lu Sisi took a Nourishing God Pill, she quickly felt relieved, and after a moment, finally fell asleep.
Chen Yan held Lu Sisi for a while, making sure she was truly asleep, before gently laying her down and leaving the room himself.
That night, Chen Yan hid in the study, flipping through the alchemical Chapters in the cultivation secret manual repeatedly, racking his brains to find the problem with Lu Sisi, but after a night, he found nothing.
Come dawn, he didn’t know when Lu Sisi had already gotten up and lightly pushed open the study room door.
Chen Yan looked up and saw Lu Sisi standing outside the door, her familiar pretty face showing a forced smile.
Lu Sisi walked barefoot into the room, coming to Chen Yan’s side, saying nothing, just lightly sat on Chen Yan’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Chen Yan... let it go, okay?"
"Hmm?"
"Don’t worry about my cultivation anymore." Lu Sisi’s fingers brushed lightly on Chen Yan’s forehead, seemingly trying to smooth his knitted brows.
"You won’t be too disappointed?" Chen Yan sighed and put away the secret manual.
Lu Sisi nodded: "Disappointed, of course, I’m disappointed."
But she quickly whispered into Chen Yan’s ear: "But if it makes you worry so much about me, I would be more than just disappointed, I’d be heartbroken and anxious.
So, the matter of cultivation for me is just a bit disappointing, yet not that important."
Chen Yan sighed: "I know you don’t care about becoming a cultivator, about divine techniques or mana, you’re truly not concerned.
You just wanted to become a cultivator to increase your lifespan, to be with me for a long time."
"I can also live a long time now," Lu Sisi whispered: "You gave me that Bone Forging Pill, improving my physique, and that, that strange wine..."
Chen Yan knew the strange wine Lu Sisi mentioned was his diluted, mortal-friendly version of Divine Tree Juice.
Though its "side effects"...
Speaking of it, Lu Sisi and Chen Yan both couldn’t help but blush.
"You told me before, my body is now much stronger than ordinary people, I can live many more years, isn’t that right?" Lu Sisi lightly laughed.
