Ch.41 Part 2 – Farewell and Departure (II)
“Xiao Qi, be careful!” ng Qi suddenly opened her eyes. The abundant aura she absorbed swept throughout her body in an instant, expanding her spiritual sea and raising her cultivation from the Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishnt. At the sa ti, the aura inside the array began to lose control, quickly rushing towards all directions with ng Qi as the center.
Without a second thought, ng Qi rushed forward and hugged Xiao Qi. Her body leaned over protectively, covering the little white tiger’s soft body inside her arms.
“Ugh——” ng Qi groaned again. Cultivating was an act against heaven. When a Qi Condensation cultivator broke through into the Foundation Establishnt, they wouldn’t have to undergo a tribulation. However, the surrounding aura would rampage into a spiritual storm.
ng Qi, who had just broken through into the Foundation Establishnt stage, wasn’t much impacted. The aura inside her automatically rushed outside, enveloping her body with a layer of protection. Even if she was struck by the chaotic spiritual storm, apart from severe pain, it didn’t do her any harm. It was the mont of eruption that made ng Qi’s face turned pale.
The room gradually beca calm again. ng Qi finally sighed in relief and let go of Xiao Qi. She carefully examined the little guy’s body, especially the wound on his front paw.
“Are you okay?” ng Qi asked. She reached out to touch Xiao Qi: “Didn’t I tell you to not co over?” She rubbed his fluffy fur and squeezed his small, semicircular ears. “What if you get injured again?”
Xiao Qi didn’t move. He stared at ng Qi dazedly. It was rely a breakthrough from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishnt. Even if his injury was ten tis heavier than now, such a small spiritual storm wouldn’t be able to harm him in the slightest.
“What’s wrong?” ng Qi squeezed Xiao Qi’s ear again. The little guy suddenly reacted. He realized that he was still lying in ng Qi’s arms, the girl’s soft body protecting him carefully. A light dicinal fragrance surrounded his nostrils, unfamiliar yet soothing.
Xiao Qi suddenly turned around, his small body struggling desperately in ng Qi’s arms.
“Eh?” ng Qi was startled. As if fleeing from her, Xiao Qi jumped to the ground and quickly ran back to the bamboo bed.
From a safe distance, the little tiger stared at ng Qi in shock. This feeling was similar to that ti at that valley when ng Qi did such unspeakable action at the heavily injured him. However, she obviously didn’t do anything this ti, yet he still felt a shudder swept through his back.
——This kind of feeling, he never had it even when facing the most terrible enemy.
ng Qi tilted her head in confusion, but didn’t take it too seriously. She once again sat cross-legged, diving into her spiritual consciousness. Compared to before the breakthrough, her spiritual sea has expanded three tis larger and now was full of aura, as if going to overflow at any ti.
——She successfully entered the Foundation Establishnt stage.
ng Qi slowly sighed in relief and opened her eyes. She was in a good mood and started cleaning up while humming a song. She carefully erased the array’s trace from the floor and put back the remaining materials and other personal items in the room into her new storage space.
After she finished, ng Qi looked around. She has lived in this room for more than half a year in this life, plus another half year in the previous life. In fact, in cultivators’ long life, one year was rely a short ti.
But ng Qi has gone from life to death, then from death to life. When she thought her life was over, she opened her eyes to see this familiar yet unfamiliar room. That kind of mood couldn’t be described by words.
“Xiao Qi.” ng Qi walked towards the little guy. She took out the beast house and placed it on the bamboo bed, then reached out to rub the little tiger’s fluffy head: “We are leaving now.”
Xiao Qi stared at the beast house, then dazedly turned his gaze at ng Qi. Every breath he inhaled was filled with a faint dicinal sll from the girl’s body. It was as if his own body was going to be filled with the sa scent.
“Let’s go.” ng Qi picked Xiao Qi up and put him into the beast house. She then put the house into the storage space and looked around the room for the last ti. Afterward, she turned around and walked to the door.
With a small creak, the door opened. The sun hit her face instantly, showering her body with a soft and warm light.
Not far away, Qin Xiumo and Chu Tianfeng were chatting in a low voice. Hearing the door creaked open, they instantly turned their head.
“Are you leaving now?” Qin Xiumo asked with his lazy, sowhat casual tone. ng Qi even almost had a wrong impression: as if she and he were old friends who had known each other for many years and was just exchanging casual greetings.
“Yeah.” After a montary daze, she nodded.
“Let’s go.” Qin Xiumo handed ng Qi a small brocade bag. She took it and looked at its content. Inside, there was a huge amount of cold sky herb and several dicinal plants that grew around Qingfeng Valley.
Qin Xiumo raised his jaw, “Just in case. It might be useful.”
Those were the things the injured Qingfeng Valley disciples had picked under his command. The water inside the cold pond was so cold. Even disciples in Foundation Establishnt stage almost couldn’t bear it. After they jumped in for a while and ca up again, their lips beca white with cold, their teeth chattered uncontrollably, and they were shivering so hard that they couldn’t speak.
Qin Xiumo coldly supervised their work. Although the disciples had agreed to pick up the herb to pay for the five elents blue crane’s blood. However, the hardship was higher than they expected. Especially the three female disciples, after diving twice, they cried and refused to go into the water again. The male disciples were actually equally miserable, but they all volunteered to do the work in the girls’ stead and begged Qin Xiumo to let the girls go.
Qin Xiumo didn’t say anything. He stood indifferently by the edge of the cold lake. His mind wandered to ng Qi, who didn’t hesitate to dive into the icy water ti and ti again to pick the cold sky herb for his treatnt.
Thinking about it now, Qin Xiumo couldn’t help but sigh. Children who cry would get candy. But ng Qi, she always looked calm and composed, even cold, and rarely speak for herself. She was truly…
