The Black Object

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from Xian Er's delicate body. Just as he was about to resume cultivating, a voice suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Young Master Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Yanmeng's voice rang out from the courtyard outside the room.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen rose from the bed and was about to push open the door and leave. However, at that moment, Xian Er, who had been cultivating, seemed to notice the commotion outside as well and ended her cultivation session.

"Master, who is it?"

Xian Er looked at Xiao Chen with her pink eyes and asked softly.

"Xiao Yanmeng, the maid I told you about."

During their earlier conversation, Xiao Chen had also mentioned Xiao Yanmeng to Xian Er, because the two women would be following him from now on.

Xian Er nodded lightly, a seductive smile appearing on her delicate face.

Xiao Chen pushed open the door and walked out, with Xian Er following behind him. Outside, he saw Xiao Yanmeng standing gracefully in the courtyard.

When Xiao Yanmeng saw Xiao Chen emerge, she immediately bowed in greeting. However, her beautiful eyes turned toward Xian Er at his side, and a trace of surprise flashed through her gaze.

Xiao Chen then invited Xiao Yanmeng into the room. Inside, Xiao Yanmeng stood gracefully, while Xian Er stood respectfully at Xiao Chen's side.

"This is Xian Er."

Xiao Chen pointed at Xian Er beside him and introduced her.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanmeng quickly began chatting with Xian Er. Before long, the two women had become familiar with each other.

At that moment, Xiao Chen placed one slender, fair finger against Xiao Yanmeng's forehead. The invisible soul force within his body traveled down his arm to his fingertip before pouring into Xiao Yanmeng's body.

During his conversation with Xiao Yanmeng just now, Xiao Chen had learned that she was unable to absorb the battle qi between heaven and earth for cultivation.

From the moment he had encountered Xiao Yanmeng, Xiao Chen had felt that there was something unusual about her.

Whether it was her status as an orphan or her inability to cultivate, it all seemed suspicious. After all, Xiao Chen had read quite a few novels in his previous life, and no orphan ever had a simple background.

Xiao Chen's soul force surged into Xiao Yanmeng's body, and from the feedback of his soul perception—

He learned that some black substance was blocking the meridians within Xiao Yanmeng's body, which was why she could not absorb the battle qi between heaven and earth to cultivate.

"So that's how it is!"

Xiao Chen withdrew his soul force and sighed.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, how is it?"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Yanmeng hurriedly asked, anticipation in her voice. Only by cultivating could she better help Young Master Xiao Chen, she thought to herself.

"Meng Er, the meridians in your body are blocked by some kind of black substance. Moreover, that substance is very difficult to remove. That is why you cannot cultivate."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yanmeng, whose pretty face bore an expectant smile, and explained.

Earlier, when Xiao Chen had used his soul force to examine Xiao Yanmeng's body, he had discovered a mysterious black substance within her meridians.

He had also tried to use his soul force to expel that black substance from Xiao Yanmeng's body, but ultimately failed.

"Although it is difficult to remove, I still have a way to expel it. But the process will be rather long and somewhat painful. Meng Er, are you willing to give it a try?"

Xiao Chen then told Xiao Yanmeng about his method of removal.

After hearing him out, Xiao Yanmeng's pretty face flushed crimson. She nodded lightly, and when her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Chen again, they were filled with a strange glimmer. The blush on her face deepened further.

"In that case, Xian Er, Meng Er, come with me."

Xiao Chen looked at the two women and spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cosmos Ring on Xiao Chen's right hand emitted a faint glow. Moments later, a Light Gate appeared before him.

Without hesitation, Xiao Chen stepped inside. Xian Er followed closely behind him, while Xiao Yanmeng fell silent for a moment before lightly moving her lotus steps and following after them.

Xiao Chen had entered the Small World within the Cosmos Ring.

After Xiao Chen, Xian Er, and Xiao Yanmeng entered the Small World inside the Cosmos Ring, Xiao Chen willed it, and the Light Gate disappeared.

Afterward, Xiao Chen explained the purpose of this Small World, along with some other matters, to Xian Er and Xiao Yanmeng.

Xian Er was somewhat surprised at first. In the end, she walked to Xiao Chen's side. Since she already belonged to Xiao Chen, she naturally would not do anything detrimental to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction. Naturally, he understood what Xian Er meant.

Immediately, Xiao Chen's dark eyes turned toward Xiao Yanmeng at the side. He then walked in front of her, stretched out his fair, slender arm, wrapped it around her slim waist, and said softly:

"Meng Er, do you know what it means to become my maid?"

"I know."

Held in Xiao Chen's embrace, Xiao Yanmeng's exquisitely featured face flushed as red as the sunset clouds on the horizon. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Chen's exceptionally handsome face as she nodded lightly and answered shyly.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen raised Xiao Yanmeng's exquisite chin with his fair, slender hand. Their eyes met, and Xiao Chen lowered his head to kiss her soft lips, his arm tightly wrapped around her slender waist.

Watching from the side, Xian Er pouted her little lips and gave a light snort.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Xiao Yanmeng's pretty face was as red as an apple. Xiao Chen pinched her tender, soft cheek and patted her little head.

Xiao Chen took Xiao Yanmeng's soft, boneless little hand and led her toward the only building in this Small World, while beckoning to Xian Er.

Xian Er watched Xiao Chen beckon to her and stamped her delicate foot in anger, but in the end, she still followed him.

When Xiao Chen, Xian Er, and Xiao Yanmeng arrived before the Wooden House and pushed the door open, there was nothing special inside besides ordinary furniture. However, the room was quite spacious.

The Cosmos Ring on Xiao Chen's finger flashed repeatedly. A moment later, a wooden basin appeared before them.

Xiao Chen then filled the basin halfway with clear water, took out a Jade Bottle, and poured its contents inside. Instantly, the clear water turned into a golden liquid.

This golden liquid was the medicinal solution called Purification Water, whose refining method Xiao Chen had found in the Medicine Canon.

This Purification Water could expel the impurities within a person's body while also increasing the rate at which their meridians and bones absorbed energy from the outside world.

Moreover, its medicinal properties were mild, making it perfectly suitable for Xiao Yanmeng. It would simply take a little longer.

"Take off your clothes and get in. Come out when you can't endure it anymore."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yanmeng and spoke gently.

Xiao Yanmeng's pretty face flushed as she looked at Xiao Chen.

Seeing Xiao Yanmeng's expression, Xiao Chen immediately left the room.

When Xiao Chen entered the room again, he saw tiny black particles, each no larger than specks of dust, emerging from Xiao Yanmeng's fair skin.

Upon closer inspection, black runes could be seen on those particles. However, not long after appearing, they turned into black mist and vanished.
