Chapter 375: Three hundred seventy-four, I have no strength Chapter 375: Three hundred seventy-four, I have no strength “Anyone who tries to harm her—even as a joke—must die,” a lethal aura swarmed Qin Yushen’s eyes, emitting an absolute scent of death.
The young man’s heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously took a half step back, “I… I was just kidding.” He didn’t want to be a coward, but the man before him truly frightened him.
“Just this once!” Qin Yushen warned the youth, his icy voice mixed with an undeniable deadly seriousness.
“Okay,” the young man quickly nodded. Although there was no fluctuation of Spiritual Power on the man before him, intuition told him that this was not a person he could afford to provoke.
“Find us a place to rest,” Qin Yushen commanded.
“Follow me,” the youth resignedly led the way. Well, just consider it bad luck then.
Qin Yushen turned around, his body weakly leaning on Song Yan Ning’s shoulder, “I have no strength, let me lean on you for a while.”
“Mhm,” seeing Qin Yushen’s pale, bloodless face, Song Yan Ning felt a pang of distress. She reached out to support him, following the youth ahead.
The youth rolled his eyes in silence. Where did you look like you had no strength just now?
Led by the youth, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen arrived at an ancient-looking courtyard.
“Young Master Seven!” The servant greeted the youth respectfully, surprised to see Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen following him.
“Arrange a guest room for them,” the youth said, then turned to head toward his own room without further concern for Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. There were plenty of vacant rooms here; they could stay as long as they liked.
“Please follow me,” the servant led the way.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen followed. Now that their Spiritual Power was restrained and they could not recover their strength through cultivation as before, they truly needed to rest properly and look for a way to regain their Spiritual Power after waking.
“This is the room, please come in,” the servant opened the door to the guest room.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen entered the guest room, which was tastefully arranged, exuding a tranquil atmosphere. However, there was only one bed, which meant they would have to share it.
“I’ll help you lie down,” Song Yan Ning assisted Qin Yushen to the bed’s edge and helped him onto it.
Qin Yushen grasped Song Yan Ning’s hand, “Let’s rest together.”
“I’ll just sit over there for a while,” Song Yan Ning said somewhat shyly. She dared not share a bed with Qin Yushen; although they had both expressed their feelings, they were not yet husband and wife.
“It hurts so much…” Qin Yushen rubbed his chest, looking pitifully at Song Yan Ning.
“Let me see,” hearing Qin Yushen cry out in pain, Song Yan Ning hurriedly sat down beside the bed, pulling open his clothes to check if he was wounded at the front as well.
Seeing Qin Yushen’s broad and firm chest, Song Yan Ning’s face turned red in an instant; she stood up in a fluster, “It’s nothing, just rest for a while.”
A sly smile flickered in Qin Yushen’s eyes. He pulled on Song Yan Ning’s hand with a gentle tug.
“Ah!” Song Yan Ning let out a soft cry as she fell onto Qin Yushen.
Qin Yushen encircled her in his arms, “Stay with me.”
“No,” Song Yan Ning’s face was pressed against Qin Yushen’s body, feeling his warmth, her cheeks flushed like the twilight glow, and her heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated.
“Xiao Ning…” Qin Yushen’s voice was weak yet carried a whining tone.
Song Yan Ning helplessly shook her head and closed her eyes, “Go to sleep.”
Qin Yushen smiled contentedly and then closed his eyes.
Song Yan Ning thought she definitely wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, but sleepiness quickly overtook her, slowly sinking her into slumber.
Hearing Song Yan Ning’s even breathing, Qin Yushen opened his eyes, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and closed his eyes again with a faint smile.
Song Yan Ning woke up full of energy and found herself sleeping in Qin Yushen’s arms, her face uncontrollably blushing again. Perhaps it was because Qin Yushen was by her side that she felt incredibly secure in her sleep.
“Awake?” Qin Yushen looked down at her and smiled gently.
Song Yan Ning nodded and gently pushed away Qin Yushen, sitting up and getting out of bed, “I’ll try to see if I can cultivate.” In a world with Spiritual Energy, it was impossible not to cultivate.
Seated cross-legged on the ground, Song Yan Ning began to circulate her Cultivation Technique.
Qin Yushen sat up, closed his eyes, and started cultivating. He guessed that the reason their Spiritual Power was constrained might be related to the transmission array; as long as they could absorb Spiritual Energy, their cultivation levels would quickly recover.
Yuan Yixiu paced restlessly in his room. He had already told his parents about the girl he liked. Originally, he wanted Song Yan Ning to pretend to be the girl, but now he didn’t dare. Qin Yushen’s words were definitely not a joke.
He sighed deeply, “It seems I’m definitely going to the Spiritual Realm this time.”
The Spiritual Realm was a place of secret trials where the chance of returning was only thirty percent. With his current strength, it was definitely impossible to be among those thirty percent. Knowing he would likely die, how could he possibly consider going?
His parents said if he didn’t want to enter the Spiritual Realm, then he would have to go on arranged dates. He was only a few hundred years old and didn’t want to be tied down in marriage so soon. That’s why he had lied about having a girl he liked.
His parents demanded he bring the girl to them within three days, but now, where would he find such a girl? Of course, he could pay someone to pretend, but his parents weren’t fools.
The reason he chose Song Yan Ning was that her temperament was clearly extraordinary, and her beauty was unparalleled; even if she was without Spiritual Power and not a cultivator, his parents would believe him. After all, Song Yan Ning’s beauty was a rare sight in the world.
With that thought, Yuan Yixiu walked towards the door. He needed to find Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen to see if there was any room for negotiation.
Song Yan Ning felt Spiritual Energy entering her body and was overjoyed, continuously circulating her Cultivation Technique.
With the intake of Spiritual Energy, her cultivation began to recover slowly.
Feeling that her Divine Sense could be maneuvered again, Song Yan Ning moved her Divine Sense and drew a bowl of Spirit Lake Water from the Spiritual Pearl, passing it to Qin Yushen, “Qin Yushen, drink this quickly.”
Qin Yushen took the Spirit Lake Water and drank it down in one gulp. The Spirit Lake Water quickly transformed into Spiritual Power, surging rapidly through his limbs and body. The previously restrained Spiritual Power broke through like a flood, and his cultivation level rose continuously.
In just a moment, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen’s cultivation had returned to their original state.
The two exchanged smiles. Now that their cultivation had been restored, even in this unfamiliar world, they would no longer feel as lost as before.
