Chapter 390: Chapter 166 Yu Youhan: Ji Hongxiu, do you dare to touch my man? _4
Is it because she doesn’t want him to feel indebted?
Chen Mo averted his gaze, muttering softly, "What a big fool."
Ling Ningzhi wrinkled her delicate nose, "I’m not a fool at all!"
Leaning against the headboard, Chen Mo opened the system panel. Under the cultivation technique section, new words appeared: [Taiyin Reverse Time Technique · Entry-Level (0/1000)].
Without hesitation, he directly used the True Spirit to upgrade the Taiyin Reverse Time Technique to small success.
Sensing the new information in his Sea of Consciousness, he slightly furrowed his brows.
"Still not enough..."
He then used a Dao Essence Crystal to upgrade the technique another level.
A realization surged in his heart, and his understanding of this technique deepened further.
The reason Fu Li could achieve "infinite rebirth" was essentially because he established an "anchor point" with his Divine Soul on the Erosion Light Hourglass, then restored his body to its previous state using Yin Yang Qi, achieving a near "retrospective" effect.
This process, however, consumed a large amount of Blood Qi and Essence, which is why Fu Li needed to continuously kill and draw blood.
"In that case, Ling Ningzhi’s damage can be healed as well, as long as her body is adjusted to the state before it was overtaxed."
"Previously, a large amount of Essence Blood was extracted in the Blood Net, and now both the acupoints and Blood Pearl are in a saturated state. For healing injuries, it should suffice."
"My True Yuan contains the Empress’s Dao Power, which should be used to propel the technique."
With this in mind, Chen Mo bit his fingertip and let the blood drip onto the Erosion Light Hourglass.
The Gnomon Needle trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a faint connection, as if something was or was not there.
"Three Burners in suspension, the Gnomon turns Yin Yang, eroding all celestial light..."
As Chen Mo chanted the spell softly, the Dao Power within him surged, enveloping Ling Ningzhi in black and white light.
"Mr. Chen, what are you doing...?"
Ling Ningzhi appeared a bit bewildered.
Before she could react, she saw a crimson aura emanating from Chen Mo’s palm, continuously pouring into the Erosion Light Hourglass.
With the push of Blood Qi, the Gnomon Needle slowly turned counterclockwise, and as the divine light grew increasingly intense, her hair turned from white to black, like ink spreading rapidly on rice paper.
Crack—
The Gnomon Needle retracted completely by one notch, and the symbols above it lit up.
Ling Ningzhi could clearly feel that all the internal injuries left by the excessive strain had healed entirely, and her body had returned to its peak condition!
"Phew—"
Chen Mo panted heavily, his face a bit pale.
It must be said that the Erosion Light Hourglass, though mystical, was also extremely demanding.
Just reversing by a single notch depleted the Blood Qi in his acupoints entirely, almost draining him dry!
Fortunately, the Xuanxue Guiyuan Pearl was still full, continuously releasing Qi Blood Power to replenish himself.
Ling Ningzhi stared blankly at him, "Mr. Chen, how did you learn the magic of the Netherworld Sect?"
Chen Mo chuckled, "Just learned it, impressive, right?"
Ling Ningzhi snapped back to reality, her soft bosom heaving, and said with furrowed brows, "But your injury hasn’t healed, and yet you’re consuming your Qi-Blood like this. What if something goes wrong..."
"Don’t worry, I know my limits." Chen Mo winked, "I still think the Daoist looks better with black hair."
Ling Ningzhi was slightly startled.
Seeing that pale face, her eyes filled with mist, and she bit her lip, whispering, "You rascal, must you break my heart to be satisfied?"
"You became like this to save me, so naturally I am responsible."
Chen Mo shook his head, "I was too overbearing before. If you’re willing, I can break that contract. I’ll still give you the Immortal Materials..."
The already signed Creation Gold Contract can be annulled if both contractors agree.
Thinking it through, forcibly changing Ling Ningzhi’s life path for an event that hadn’t occurred yet wasn’t fair to her... He could disregard these things in the past, but after everything they’ve been through, it was hard to convince himself now.
However, to Chen Mo’s surprise, Ling Ningzhi refused.
"Since the contract is signed, it cannot be annulled. How could I take your Immortal Materials for nothing?"
"Moreover..."
"I heard what you said that day."
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "What did I say?"
Ling Ningzhi turned her head away, her face blushing, the red spreading to her snow-white neck, and softly said:
"You said you wouldn’t bully me anymore... actually, I kinda like being bullied by you..."
"But if you could be a bit gentler to me, that would be even better..."
[Ling Ningzhi]Favorability Rating increased.
[Current Progress: 60/100 (Mutual Affection).]
[Favorability Rating reached threshold, second stage rewards unlocked.]
[Gained special item: Dao Essence Crystal*2.]
[Obtained mystical item: Pure Source Spark.]
"..."
Countless lines of prompt text flashed before his eyes.
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.
Likes being bullied by him?
Does this mean he succeeded in "training" her?
...
...
Meanwhile, at Fuyun Mountain.
The void shattered, and Yu Youhan’s figure appeared.
Before him, the mountains were tranquil, enveloped in mist, looking like an ethereal realm under the bright moon.
Yu Youhan had just prepared to charge in, when he suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation. His Dao Power was being drawn, in a general westerly direction.
"Not at Fuyun Mountain?"
"Where did Ji Hongxiu take Chen Mo? Why is it causing a Dao Power fluctuation, what on earth is she planning?!"
Yu Youhan’s face darkened, and he left once again.
