Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 281 - 86: Senior, Please Show Restraint

"Why did Uncle Qin suddenly faint?"

"Did he train too hard, and his body is overexerted?"

Under a bamboo grove, upon hearing that Qin Gengyun had fainted, a group of women gathered around, chattering and observing.

"Everyone move aside! I’m going to bathe the master... ugh, no, I’m going to heal the master!"

Liu Su ran over carrying a large bath barrel, then was glanced at by Niantang:

"He’s exhausted his spiritual energy, not injured."

Liu Su responded with an ’oh’, disappointed, and took the bath barrel back, parted Fang Xue and Yun Zhen, poked her head in, and stared at Qin Gengyun’s face, exclaiming:

"Wow, master’s face is so pale, it must be a kidney deficiency, he needs a good supplement! Ouch!"

Then, she was pushed aside by Niantang. The tall figure lifted Qin Gengyun with one hand, carried him on her shoulder, and walked back.

Mo Xiaolan followed behind: "He’s very weak now, should I carry him instead?"

Niantang glanced at her: "He’s my disciple; I won’t harm him, will I?"

Mo Xiaolan opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing more, the women exchanged glances, feeling the atmosphere was off, and could only follow silently from behind.

Si Minglan asked Liu Su quietly: "What exactly is the relationship between Qin Gengyun and his master?"

"Master-disciple relationship!"

Liu Su answered immediately.

Si Minglan looked at her without speaking, Liu Su coughed and added:

"It’s a very doting master-disciple relationship, satisfied?"

The group returned to the temporary campsite, Niantang sent Qin Gengyun into a room to lie down, the others instinctively hovered outside, seemingly reluctant to disturb.

"Mo Xiaolan, come in."

Niantang’s voice came from inside, and Mo Xiaolan agreed, stepping into the room.

The other women exchanged glances, Fang Xue suddenly said:

"Sister Qiu is not here, the master is here, which is nice."

Yun Zhen pouted: "What’s nice about it, she’s your master; he’s my grandmaster... but why do grandmaster and Sister Mo look so alike..."

"Alike in what way?" the others looked at her.

Yun Zhen shook her head: "Nothing."

Thinking, if I say grandmaster and Sister Mo look like the empress and a concubine, you’d think I’m crazy, I better not say it.

Smack!

Beside her, Si Minglan slapped Liu Su’s bottom as she lay at the door, annoyed:

"You’re eavesdropping too?"

Liu Su jumped up, angrily: "I’m the sister-in-law, now with two outsiders trapping my master in bed, can I not look?"

Si Minglan sneered: "A sister-in-law cares more widely than a concubine."

"Fox Spirit, what did you say?!"

At this moment, inside the room.

Niantang and Mo Xiaolan positioned Qin Gengyun into a cross-legged sitting posture, each seated behind him, with both palms pressed against his back.

Setting Sun and Moon-breaking are peak techniques created by Xia Qinglian, their true essence far surpassing Qin Gengyun’s current level.

Even though Qin Gengyun is quite perceptive and learned quickly, the enormous amount of spiritual energy required for these two moves is something he doesn’t possess now.

Earlier, he only executed part of Setting Sun, and his spiritual energy was depleted, causing him to faint.

Now, the two women were channeling their spiritual energy into him.

It’s like recharging a battery that has run out of power by connecting it to a power source.

However, this method of "recharging" isn’t fast, requiring at least a day and a night to fully charge.

Since each cultivator’s spiritual energy is different, like how no two leaves are exactly alike in the world, everybody’s bodily details differ slightly. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Even if they cultivate from the same source, the thickness of meridians, the width of pathways, and the specific construction of their spirit fields, all differ slightly.

This results in each person’s spiritual energy being somewhat distinct.

Thus, when accepting and digesting another’s spiritual energy, this process becomes very lengthy.

As night fell, the room was quiet, with a man and two women maintaining their posture, not moving.

Outside the room, four women sat quietly, like family members waiting outside a surgical room.

Liu Su couldn’t help but to speak: "What are the three of them doing? Whatever they’re doing should’ve been finished by now, right?"

Yun Zhen suddenly realized: "Is that why Uncle Qin over-exerted?"

Fang Xue shook her head: "The master and Uncle Qin are upright and would certainly not be involved in other matters."

Si Minglan stopped joking, having already understood the reason for Qin Gengyun’s fainting, frowned and said:

"The techniques taught by Qin Gengyun’s master probably consume a lot of spiritual power, and that’s why he fainted with depleted spiritual energy; even if he’s learned them, does using them once cause him to faint every time? Does he need someone to spend an entire day channeling spiritual energy into him?"

Liu Su also seriously said: "What if there was plenty of Spirit Marrow prepared in advance? Anyway, my master is rich in Spirit Stones."

Si Minglan chuckled: "Such an enormous amount of spiritual energy, how much Spirit Marrow would you need to prepare? I’m afraid your master would become a pauper after using it two or three times."

Fang Xue joined the discussion: "Moreover, absorbing spiritual energy from Spirit Marrow takes time, and during magical combat, opponents won’t allow you recovery time."

Si Minglan said: "I’ve heard there is an extremely rare constitution in the world called Pure Spirit Body which can store a significant amount of spiritual energy, like a mobile Spirit Vein Immortal Mountain."

Fang Xue nodded: "During my studies at the Cultivator Spiritual Institute, teachers mentioned that the Pure Spirit Body not only naturally carries abundant spiritual energy but can effortlessly absorb spiritual energy from the environment, inexhaustible indeed."

"Furthermore, the spiritual energy from a Pure Spirit Body is exceptionally pure, allowing anyone to absorb and utilize it seamlessly."

"However, the Pure Spirit Body itself cannot cultivate and merely serves as a storage tool for other’s spiritual energy. Only three Pure Spirit Bodies have been recorded over the millennia."

"One was taken by a Great Power as a sexual partner; she was killed on his ascension day."

"One was contested by several Great Cultivators and later seized by a Major Sect, daily supplying countless people with spiritual energy, like a tool."

"The third struggled to hide their constitution but was eventually discovered and, in fear, committed suicide. The dissipated spiritual energy was absorbed and even her flesh was consumed by people."

After Fang Xue finished speaking, everyone fell silent, Liu Su exclaimed:

"Thankfully I’m not a Pure Spirit Body, or I’d be used by countless people, my goodness, isn’t this like being a vented utensil? Ew~"

Speaking, she shivered with goosebumps.

Si Minglan remarked: "If Qin Gengyun could find a Pure Spirit Body, he could instantly replenish his spiritual energy after using those two moves."

Liu Su chuckled: "Only three over the thousands of years, how easy can it be to find? Maybe there aren’t any left now!"

Yun Zhen, with her cheeks propped, opened her mouth but then closed it.

"Yun Zhen, what did you want to say?"

Si Minglan noticed her abnormality.

"It’s... it’s nothing."

Yun Zhen waved her hand hurriedly but quietly sighed.

The next day, late night.

Inside the room, the two women opened their eyes.

The spiritual energy within Qin Gengyun had been replenished; he only needed to rest to recover.

Mo Xiaolan wanted to help him lie down, but as she reached out, Niantang had already laid Qin Gengyun on the bed.

Mo Xiaolan was silent for a moment, got off the bed, and addressed Niantang:

"Senior, I’ll go rest."

Niantang acknowledged with a small sound, as she was wiping Qin Gengyun’s face with a silk cloth, Mo Xiaolan glanced at her, turned, walked out of the room, and turned back at the door:

"Senior, he already has a wife, ultimately you and he are master and disciple, please... exercise restraint."
