Chapter 110 : Is It That Simple
Chapter 110: Is It That Simple?
“Is it that simple?”
Li Yunqing blinked.
Just by hugging her, one could recover—it sounded too simple, almost unreal.
This Pure Yin Body was somewhat terrifying.
“I’m talking about the Yin Spirit!”
Yuan Qing said, “Your Pure Yin Body is strong, but your Yin Spirit is even stronger. That’s why every night, wherever you rest, phenomena occur.”
“That is the manifestation of the Dao between heaven and earth, resonating with your body and Yin Spirit. Because of this, you can rapidly comprehend the True Intent of the Five Elements.”
“It can even nourish other intents, including your physique. If this continues, you may truly become a Pure Yin Dao Body.”
“If I embrace your Yin Spirit, it will only take the time of a cup of tea for me to recover seventy percent!”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing’s body stiffened slightly. The sensation of the Yin Spirit was ten, even a hundred times more sensitive than the physical body.
The last time Yuan Qing poked her, it had felt as if her soul’s softest spot had been touched.
That feeling made one instinctively tremble.
“But don’t worry!”
Seeming to understand Li Yunqing’s inner insistence, Yuan Qing added, “A woman’s Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit are different from a man’s.”
“They are naturally Yin, so it won’t be like with a man—just holding is enough.”
“Mm.” Li Yunqing nodded.
Yuan Qing was a woman, and she had been injured because of her—naturally, she would not refuse.
If it were a man, it would be a different matter entirely.
She also understood clearly that the essence of relations between men and women lay in the union of Yin and Yang.
Women were inherently Yin. Even if Yin Spirits touched, it would not count as dual cultivation of Yin and Yang. There might be sensations, but nothing like that between a man and a woman.
Moreover, being of the same gender, she had no fear.
After all, as the eldest young lady of her household, with her mother having passed away early, it had always been her personal maid Xiaolan who cared for her.
From washing and bathing to dressing and grooming—even in childhood, they had slept embracing each other.
Her body, aside from herself, was probably better known by Xiaolan.
Being held by a woman was not a big matter at all.
She even knew that after relations between men and women in noble families, maids would be called in to clean them with water.
This was simply the nature of this era.
Young masters and young ladies of noble families were meant to be served.
This was precisely the fundamental reason for the existence of personal maids and servants in this era.
Holding Yuan Qing, Li Yunqing landed on the ground. Her gaze swept over the injured, and with a flick of her sleeve, silver needles shot out.
They pierced directly into the bodies of the injured, stabilizing their conditions.
Then she took out medicinal pills and handed them to Xiaolan. “Give two to each person. Treat the injuries first.”
With that, Li Yunqing carried Yuan Qing into the carriage.
“Elder Sister?”
Li Yunqing called softly. She realized that after excessive consumption of Yang Spirit Power, Yuan Qing’s consciousness had become somewhat sluggish and hazy.
“It’s fine. Without a physical body or magical power to support it, consuming Yang Spirit Power results in this.”
More severe cases could lead to deep sleep or even dissipation during sleep, but Yuan Qing did not mention this.
Her consumption was not too severe.
“Buzz!”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing no longer hesitated. Her Yin Spirit leapt out from the top of her head.
The moment it approached Yuan Qing, she felt Yuan Qing instinctively cling to her Yin Spirit.
Her body wrapped around her like an octopus, tightly embracing her.
It was as if she wanted to merge into her Yin Spirit entirely.
Her whole face was buried between Li Yunqing’s chest and neck.
“Like hugging a cat?”
“I’m not a cat…”
The thought had just arisen when an unfamiliar sensation spread through her entire being.
Li Yunqing did not dare move. Her teeth clenched, lips pressed together, her brows trembling slightly.
The Yin Spirit had no internal organs.
Yet she still felt as if her heart was trembling, instinctively tightening.
A sensation unlike anything before surged like waves.
It was like countless soft strands brushing gently across her body.
Only after the time of a cup of tea did Li Yunqing notice that Yuan Qing’s form had become much more solid.
The “skin” of her Yin Spirit gradually resembled that of a normal person, carrying a healthy flush.
“Is this done?”
“The Pure Yin Spirit of the Pure Yin Body is this effective?”
“That makes sense… normally, the soul is the foundation that carries the Dao. And my body is indeed extremely close to a Pure Yin Dao Body.”
“A Pure Yin Dao Body is naturally aligned with the Pure Yin Dao of heaven and earth, able to connect with it and nourish all things.”
“It’s normal to have such effects.”
Thinking this, Li Yunqing persisted for a little longer.
Feeling Yuan Qing’s limbs, which had been tightly wrapped around her, gradually loosen—
Only then did she gently set Yuan Qing down.
“Hu…”
Li Yunqing pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her mind still trembling.
It was as if every inch of her being had come alive.
Aware, moving, rejoicing—
Colliding endlessly!
Without thinking, she returned directly to her physical body.
“This is…?”
But the moment she returned, Li Yunqing froze.
It felt as though a flame was burning within her body, spreading everywhere.
Her body and waist instinctively tensed.
“So the sensations of the Yin Spirit are transmitted to the body…”
“If this were… wouldn’t that be thousands, tens of thousands of times more intense… no, no, no!”
Li Yunqing’s heart pounded wildly, her scalp tingling.
“What am I thinking?”
“This is just desire!”
“No matter how strong or resilient a person’s will is, once they fall into desire, they will be eroded completely.”
“I absolutely cannot be like this—I must never cross that line!”
“I will never become someone controlled by desire!”
“Never!”
At this moment, Li Yunqing gritted her teeth, her mind taut, more vigilant than ever before.
Toward such matters, she raised her guard by countless times.
That feeling truly could make one sink into it.
Once touched, one might never be able to control oneself again—perhaps even immortals and gods could not escape this.
But she clearly understood that desire could destroy everything a person had.
And she would never do such a thing.
“If anyone dares touch me… I will kill him!”
“Buzz!”
The moment this resolute thought arose, Frost Sword Intent was carried by True Qi, rapidly circulating through her body.
Cold frost spread throughout her entire being in an instant.
She felt her body temperature drop rapidly.
Her flushed face gradually cooled, and her tense muscles slowly relaxed.
After a long while, once she felt her body return to normal, she let out a long breath.
An indescribable exhaustion washed over her.
It was as if she had just fought a life-and-death battle.
She did not even wish to move a single finger.
“So tired…”
Li Yunqing’s expression gradually returned to its usual gentleness and tranquility. She tried to move her legs.
But the moment she did, her face stiffened instantly.
Inside her inner garments…
“This is…?”
Her expression froze, not daring to move again.
“Xiaolan!”
Li Yunqing called softly, “Go to the nearest inn. Let everyone rest well for the night.”
Her voice was somewhat weak.
Everyone agreed and escorted the carriage out of the forest toward the nearest town.
Inside an inn room.
Steam rose from the bathing tub, slowly spreading through the air.
Li Yunqing reclined halfway on the bed, still feeling as though she had no strength in her body.
She became increasingly languid.
“I don’t want to move. You do it.”
She spread her arms, lying quietly on the bed.
Xiaolan was not surprised. She stepped forward to attend to her.
But when she touched the inner garments and felt the large patch of coolness, she paused slightly.
“Miss, what happened?”
The words had just left her mouth when Xiaolan quickly fell silent.
As a personal maid, and also a woman, she naturally understood many things.
“Don’t speak. Wash me first.”
Li Yunqing closed her eyes in resignation, silently muttering in her heart, “Stop asking. Your Miss still has some dignity.”
“If you keep asking… I’ll pretend to faint!”
