146 Yan Zhen’s Physique Is About to Break Through
Outside the bathroom, Instructor Yu Xuan, Grand Elder Yu Yan, and Dean Yu Qing, their faces flushed, all heard the sound and knew exactly why their mother/second sister/second elder sister couldn’t help but cry out.
If it were them, they wouldn’t want anyone to witness such a compromising moment. So, they wouldn’t enter until it was over, to avoid embarrassing their family member.
However, a certain aroma drifted out. Although slightly inappropriate, it was enticing.
Especially for Instructor Yu Xuan, who, as if recalling a childhood memory, instinctively twitched her nose, sniffing the air…
“Say, will Second Sister be alright?”
“Mother’s condition is more severe, and she’s more sensitive, so it might be more painful for her.”
“She’ll just have to endure it. Xiao Lu is a strong woman.”
“No, I mean, what if that boy gets carried away and…?”
“Younger Aunt! Yan Zhen wouldn’t do that! You’re being disrespectful!”
“That’s right, Xiao Qing! Don’t speak ill of Little Yan Zhen behind his back!”
Dean Yu Qing, feeling wronged, protested, “I-I didn’t mean anything by it! It’s just that Second Sister’s condition… Even I’m having… inappropriate thoughts, let alone a young man with raging hormones.”
Instructor Yu Xuan immediately recalled Yan Zhen’s reaction that morning. When she mentioned treating her mother, he had indeed become aroused.
“Aunt is inside watching. You’re overthinking it, Younger Aunt.”
Grand Elder Yu Yan smiled. “Don’t worry, Xiao Qing. We’ve taken precautions. Nothing will happen.”
“…”
—That somehow sounds even more dangerous!
Inside the bathroom, the air was thick with heat, like a furnace.
Shui Bailan, protected by her Ice Mystic Power, wasn’t affected by the high temperature.
Amidst the swirling steam, a sweet aroma like warm milk made her, a virgin, blush slightly. She didn’t dare look at her sister-in-law.
However, that brief glimpse earlier, that… overflowing scene, was seared into her memory.
As time passed, the sweet scent intensified, as if—or perhaps not just “as if”—a large amount of milk had been poured into the clear spring water, the water turning increasingly milky white until it resembled the White Jade Spring again.
And the White Jade Spring water, its energy drained, was rapidly evaporating under the intense heat. The water level, which had initially reached Clan Head Yu Lu’s chest, concealing her breasts, was now visibly receding.
The co-cultivation, however, continued. At this rate, by the time they finished, the water level would drop to her ribs.
Then…
Shui Bailan didn’t dare to imagine. She wanted to call her niece and the others for help, but in her sister-in-law’s current state, she definitely wouldn’t want to be seen, especially by her daughter.
—Forget it, I’ll just cover Yan Zhen’s eyes when they’re finished… but why is he getting hotter and hotter? It wasn’t like this last night in the pool.
—Is there something strange about the flames on his body? There seem to be two kinds? One blood-red, one orange-red. Does the Great Crimson Skyfire have two colors?
—Wait, could that orange-red flame be his Blood Qi flames? Is his physique about to advance?
Shui Bailan was startled.
Judging by this, Yan Zhen’s physique was about to reach the “Complete Minor Achievement, Fiery Aura like a Red Lotus” realm, the fourth stage of body tempering, equivalent to the Mystic General realm!
This child could actually use the Great Crimson Skyfire to temper his body and advance even while being drained of his energy during this unequal co-cultivation.
He truly had the potential of a Demigod!
Shui Bailan was increasingly impressed by Yan Zhen’s talent, then her expression changed slightly.
—This isn’t right. Most of the flames emanating from Yan Zhen, including his Blood Qi flames, are being absorbed by Sister-in-law. If this continues, his advancement might fail. That would be a shame!
—Sister-in-law isn’t making any noise now. Her condition must have stabilized. We should pause the cultivation.
Thinking this, Shui Bailan released Yan Zhen’s back, stopping the energy transfer and deactivating the formation. She then stepped between them, placing her hands beneath their wrists and gently lifting them, using her Mystic Power to separate their palms.
Thump!
With a muffled sound, their palms separated.
Clan Head Yu Lu was startled and quickly suppressed her turbulent Mystic Power. After a while, she opened her eyes.
A burning sensation lingered in her body, and her breasts ached, still leaking slightly, though she couldn’t see clearly underwater. She quickly covered her chest with her hands.
“Sister-in-law, are you alright?”
Clan Head Yu Lu came back to her senses, glanced at her sister-in-law, and said, a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance in her voice, “What happened, Bai Lan? Why did you interrupt our cultivation?”
“Sister-in-law, look at Yan Zhen.”
“Hmm?”
Clan Head Yu Lu looked at her son-in-law and saw that he had stopped releasing the Great Crimson Skyfire. A fiery, orange-red aura erupted from his body, flames occasionally bursting forth, faintly resembling flowers.
“Is Son-in-law Yan Zhen about to advance? A breakthrough in his physique?”
“Yes, Sister-in-law, but his Blood Qi flames were constantly being absorbed by you, hindering his advancement. That’s why I took the liberty of interrupting you. I apologize, Sister-in-law.”
“It’s alright. You did the right thing.”
Clan Head Yu Lu nodded calmly, watching Yan Zhen for a moment, then, as if just realizing something, she asked, “Bai Lan, where’s the partition?”
“Uh… it burned.”
“…”
“Bai Lan, watch over this child. I’m leaving.”
“But Sister-in-law, the cultivation isn’t over yet. You’re still… leaking.”
“I-I’ll take care of it. We’ll continue the cultivation later.”
“Alright.”
Just as Clan Head Yu Lu stood up, Yan Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, a wave of intense heat erupting from his body, splashing water everywhere.
Clan Head Yu Lu quickly sat back down, covering her chest with her arms, her legs curling up instinctively, her eyes fixed on Yan Zhen.
—It seems… he succeeded.
Silence fell, and Shui Bailan held her breath, worried that her sister-in-law would be enraged.
Just then, Yan Zhen’s stomach growled loudly, startling the two women. They realized that advancing in body tempering consumed a lot of Blood Qi, causing hunger. After a breakthrough, one needed to quickly consume Mystic Pills or precious meat.
—I’ll have the kitchen prepare some Tier 3 and Tier 4 Mystic Beast meat for him.
Just as this thought crossed their minds, Yan Zhen sniffed the air, formed hand seals, and, using his Mystic Power, forcibly drew the water from the pool, gathering it into a large sphere before him. Then, using alchemical techniques, he refined the water, removing impurities and leaving behind a fist-sized ball of pure, white, jade-like spirit milk.
Under the shocked gazes of Clan Head Mother-in-law and Aunt Head Instructor, Yan Zhen opened his mouth and swallowed the entire ball of spirit milk in one gulp.
