// !?—How can I hear you without Qi? //
Eliana sat while hardly keeping herself together, as unlike how she had expected tonight to end, the weakening of her portion would make her strong enough to retaliate.
She tried to channel her energy using a breathing technique to sohow increase the amount, but given the blockage in her ridian, it was too minimal for her to absorb.
Then she suddenly heard his voice in her head, recalling how, in the lack of internal energy, it was not possible for him to use it, even though he had done so before in the garden area.
However, at that mont, she took it as an illusion and did not pay attention to it. But now it was surprising.
// That’s not the matter, Princess. Did you get scamd—shit, never mind! //
’Huh?’, While in her broken state, with tears adorning her sapphire eyes, she felt the pain suppressed, breaking the walls she had tried to fortify.
It threatened to make her vulnerable, but unlike the previous tis, it seed she wanted to beco vulnerable right now, as if finding a way and hope for her heart to once again retaliate, trying to feel what it was like to love sobody.
Those stories of her mother, which ntioned adorning the present king while in his journey and taking side glances due to one-sided love, made her want to experience what it felt like to love soone.
Finally, with her mind getting cornered, she let her tears loose, which would not give her brain ti to act as it had before.
’N-no, I need to do sothing’, But a flicker of anger as her gauge laid on the doorknob, which was bent in a way that was hard for her to break, let alone stand through purely her sheer will. She took the lotus position while stumbling.
Clearly, the effect of the potion, due to being recently taken, was taking a toll on her. Yet she started to use her breathing technique.
’Co on.’ The sweet beats started to pulse over her forehead as she used her ntal strength to try to overpower the effect of the potion. She was clearly trying to collect even a drop of internal energy from the surroundings, turning it into her own Qi.
In this world, through their breathing, people usually converted their internal energy into a particular kind of Qi, which they used for themselves to get maximum utilization.
Her body trembled as she started to absorb the minimal Qi, but it was as if a dam was created along the path, stopping all the overflowing drops she was collecting. She understood that until she absorbed a strong enough amount of it, the dam was not going to break, blocking her whole ridian temporarily.
Then, she felt a sudden rush.
SWOOSH
It was as if suddenly, not through her ridian but filtered towards her dantian, which normally would take more ti, the amount of her Qi miraculously inflated by one year, stretching and breaking the blocking do created around her dantian, cracks forming as she felt the sudden rush within her dantian spreading across her ridian while flushing out the portion from her body as the pores on her body began to release a black liquid as if impurities were being flushed out.
’!?!’
’What the...?!’, It did not take long for Aleriana to realize that her Qi had just increased by one year, which would have taken her several months to collect, causing her eyes to snap open. Her strength was returning at an enormous pace, but she remained seated, completely shocked.
To be exact, in this world, when an individual absorbs internal energy from the surroundings, they do so in its raw form. Within their body, they slowly filter it through the ridian while converting it to their preferable Qi.
For example, if soone used fla Qi—mostly used by those who possessed bloodlines or techniques related to fire—they needed to absorb the surrounding internal energy through their breathing and then convert a liter of it into a single drop of their preferable Qi.
ridians were already very thin nerves, and absorbing even a liter of internal energy from the surroundings would take too much ti.
Even if it did get absorbed while within the body, what remained from such a large amount of internal energy was a skin point drop of their Qi, leading to the value of each year of cultivation being crucial.
Of course, it depended on the grade of breathing technique one possessed, as it allowed them to absorb a larger amount of internal energy which yielded more production of Qi.
But for everyone, the conversion process was the sa, where the received Qi was always less than the overall absorbed internal energy.
But she had just received raw one year of Qi, not internal energy, as if she was directly getting several months’ worth of her hard work.
’He is lucky for ’, At that mont, the first thing that crossed her mind was how this definitely had sothing to do with her husband. A flicker passed through her eyes, causing her to telekinetically break down the door, shattering it as she didn’t need a mont to surround Kyle seated on the other side, arms crossed due to the sudden barrage of broken wooden pieces into a protective layer of Qi.
"Wh-what?!", Kyle was clearly shocked as he was just processing things when the door suddenly blasted, causing him to instinctively cover his face. But through his crossed arms, as he peeked forward, he found himself being covered in blue light. Even before he could think of anything else, his body was pulled by so unknown force, like a magnet pulling tal towards itself.
thud
"Haah...Haah...P-princess?!", The next mont, Kyle found himself directly colliding with the seated princess, throwing her on the floor with his hand landing directly on her left breast.
His eyes trembled as he felt a chill run through his body, while his right hand clearly clawed over the softness; yet the roughness of the fabric made him realize the blasphemy he had just committed.
"I-I’m sorry!", Kyle, upon montary realization, pulled his hand away, trying to distance himself back as he knew that he was currently there to make a deal with the princess, not to sexually harass her.
Knowing about her personality, which may have broken for a mont, he could not imagine what would happen if she took his actions as that of a pervert.
But in mid-air, as he was tumbling back, positioning himself to fall naturally with both palms extended on the floor, Aleriana lurched forward, grabbing both of his hands, leading to him having no support.
This ti, opposite her, he fell on the floor, hitting his head hard if not for being protected by a Qi layer, saving him from a single damage.
"Haa, it’s embarrassing, but let’s try it once? Okay, Darling?", Aleriana was now seated over Kyle’s body in a cowgirl position, grabbing both his wrists and placing his hands directly on her breast over the white bridal dress.
She winked with her left eye as she looked at the man now pressed beneath her, clearly finding everything beyond his processing capabilities.
’HUHHHHH!!??!’
