Chapter 16: Master"s mission!
Li Ran pinched his chin. "Since that"s the case, do you have any other wishes?"
"As long as I can stay with Sheng Zi…”
"Apart from this.”
"Er…" Aqin fell into deep thought.
For the past ten years, she had been like a shadow and dedicated her life to Li Ran. She had never thought of what she needed or wanted.
"If I can, Aqin wants to cultivate," after a long while, she gave her answer.
"Oh?" Li Ran smiled." Why do you want that? Do you want to become stronger, or is it the longevity you desire?"
Most people embarked on the road of immortal cultivation due to these two purposes, but Aqin shook her head. “Aqin only wanted to be a useful person, so that I could serve Sheng Zi forever."
Li Ran was silent. Unexpectedly, this girl"s only wish was to stay by his side.
"But that"s just a fantasy." Aqin laughed self-deprecatingly. "I tested my talent when I was a child, and my apt.i.tude is extremely poor. There"s no way for me to cultivate."
Li Ran hesitated. "What if I can give you talent?"
"Ah?" She was stunned.
Li Ran spread his hand, and two cl.u.s.ters of light appeared on it. One was pink, and the other was silver. They both silently circled in the air.
The System Reward could be given to anyone and could be retrieved at any time, so Li Ran did not need to worry about giving them to her.
"What is this?" Aqin asked with curiosity.
Li Ran explained it briefly to her.
"Dual, dual cultivation?!" Aqin’s face turned so that it appeared as if smoke would start bursting out of her ears the next moment. Her eyes were sparkling with light.
Although she was a mortal, she still knew the meaning of these two words. It’s too…
"Uh… Although it is this type of const.i.tution, it wasn"t as if one had to do dual cultivation with others. In terms of talent and cultivation speed, it"s one of the best physiques in the world." Li Ran explained awkwardly.
He just wanted to compensate Aqin, and he had no other intentions. And, changing her const.i.tution was the only way she could cultivate.
"I"m willing!" Aqin replied.
"However, I have to remind you that even if I can give you this const.i.tution, I can take it back at any time. If it’s taken back, you will die. Are you still willing?”
"Of course, if you want to leave now, my offer is still valid. I will arrange everything properly."
Aqin didn"t hesitate. "I choose to cultivate!"
"Even if you may die?"
"Yes!" Aqin smiled and nodded. It was as if this was something she considered worthy to be happy about.
Li Ran couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw her smile. Then, he sighed and rubbed her head.
"Silly girl."
"Sheng Zi…" Aqin narrowed her eyes, enjoying this short moment of skinship…
Li Ran pushed the pink ball of light into Aqin"s body. Since she didn" t resist at all, her body was rapidly transformed. The hidden injuries and scars from before began to melt, leaving her skin as smooth as brocade.
The corners of her eyes sparkled in a charm akin to the surface of a pure body of water.
In less than ten minutes, her const.i.tution changed to the rare ‘Maiden Spirit Body’.
Then, Li Ran pa.s.sed the Mysterious Light Sutra to her. From then on, Aqin had officially embarked on the path of cultivation.
"Alright, this const.i.tution and cultivation method are very compatible. Just follow this cultivation method and your progress will definitely be very fast," Li Ran said.
"Alright." Aqin bit her lip and reached to unb.u.t.ton her clothes.
Li Ran was startled." What are you doing?!"
"Cultivation." Aqin said, "Didn’t you say that you want me to cultivate according to my cultivation technique? This is how the Mysterious Light Sutra is supposed to be done~"
As she spoke, her movements continued.
"Stop!" Li Ran hurriedly stopped her.
This girl actually tried to take the initiative and push me down(Note: usually man will be active in s.e.x, now the situation is reversed)? What a f.u.c.k! When did I ever deserve such grievance?
Hearing this, Aqin thought that Li Ran disliked her and her expression became somewhat dispirited.
"I"m sorry. It is Aqin’s fault. Even if I wanted to, how could I be worthy in Sheng Zi’s eyes?"
Dong!
Li Ran heavily flicked his finger at her head and said in an unhappy voice: “Although it’s a dual cultivation technique, it also depends on the difference between the realms both partners have advanced to. You aren’t even at the Qi Refining realm, so if you are to cultivate with me now, your bone marrow will probably be sucked dry! Do you want to die?" (note: In cultivation novels, bone is deemed a place to hide an individual"s essential energy, especially inside the spine part!)
"Is that so?" Aqin rubbed her head and revealed a smile. "So it turns out that Sheng Zi did not dislike me but rather cared about me!"
Li Ran glared at her. "Hurry up and get dressed."
"Yes." Aqin nodded happily.
Li Ran couldn’t help but feel his mouth dry as he looked at the sudden spring light being emitted by Aqin’s bare skin.
Aqin was a beautiful woman to begin with. After the transformation of her spiritual body, her every move was filled with charm. Even Li Ran couldn"t endure it.
This was just the beginning, and when her cultivation reached a profound level. A single glance from her would be enough to take away one"s soul!
"Remember, don"t tell anyone about this matter. You just need to cultivate at ease, "Li Ran warned.
Aqin clenched her small fist and said firmly, "Got it! Aqin will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive to cultivate with Sheng Zi as soon as possible!"
Li Ran"s body trembled. If these words reached Leng Wuyan"s ears, he should consider reincarnating again given her jealousy.
"Alright, go. Start cultivating."
"Yes." Aqin returned to her room and sat cross-legged. She began to cultivate the Mysterious Light Sutra.
At this moment, the power of the Maiden Spirit Body was revealed.
As the cultivation method circulated, Aqin"s body revealed a mysterious phenomenon, and it looked rather profound.
However, she didn"t care about it at all. She just ran her cultivation method and got completely absorbed in the process. To her, this was just a mission from her master. It was also a sign of trust from him to her.
