If Chengcheng Were No Longer Weak

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi turned his head and saw that Cheng Cheng had woken up at some point and was looking at him with her beautiful eyes full of tears.

"You looked really badass when you dealt with the Tribulation Lightning."

Qin Yi wiped his sweat. "That's not some heavenly tribulation, it's Greed Tribulation. I'm not doing this for myself, so I won't be affected by it. Besides, even though my Law Power is exhausted, my Martial Cultivation are still intact, so I'm not afraid at all."

"Anyway, he's just so domineering, even Law Power he's still so domineering."

"..." Qin Yi stepped forward helplessly, wanting to feed Cheng Cheng the medicine, but hesitated for a moment.

Still a bit groggy from refining the elixir, he couldn't distinguish the Yao Qi, or which was Demon Form Cheng Cheng. This elixir was meant for Chengcheng in her Demon Form Cheng Cheng; it was pointless for her to consume it in her human form.

However, there is one pill that can be consumed by the human body: the Harmonious Union Pill. Once she practices some kind of auto-play Cultivation Method, she can consume the Harmonious Union Pill, allowing her cultivation to merge when her two bodies unite. This is Cheng Cheng's requirement.

We'll see about that later. Qin Yi wasn't sure if merging the two bodies would result in losing Cheng Cheng, which would be a real shame... cough...

Lost in thought, he shoved the pill into Cheng Cheng's hand on his right. "Take the medicine and heal yourself, I'll go out first..."

"Don't go out..."

"?"

"I don't know if anything unexpected will happen, I only feel at ease when you're here watching over things."

Qin Yi thought about it and agreed. This kind of pill had never appeared before, and no one knew what unknown problems might arise after taking it. It was better to keep an eye on it.

He then said, "Then I will stay here to protect you, and you can take your medicine with peace of mind."

Cheng Cheng weighed the pill in her hand, pondered for a moment, and sighed softly, "If I recover, I will no longer be the weak and helpless person I am now, and my behavior may not be the same... Will you remember the me you used to hate?"

Qin Yi paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Why are you talking so much? Take your medicine."

Cheng Cheng smiled and finally tilted her head back to take the medicine.

For a fleeting moment, she almost had the urge to just let the person take the medicine.

Once you recover, it's actually... very tiring.

However, this momentary weakness would not occupy her mind; it would only pass by quickly, and when it was time to take the medicine, she would still be in her demon form.

The demon body took medicine and meditated, and the divided soul that had long remained in the human body was also drawn away and returned, and both Cheng Cheng entered a deep sleep.

Qin Yi sat beside Chengcheng and examined Cheng Cheng internal condition, feeling much more at ease. The medicine was clearly effective, and the effect was super good. He could clearly feel Cheng Cheng's heart meridian recovering. That drop of heart blood merged into her heart, and under the influence of the Heavenly Heart Lotus and other medicines, it was being stimulated and strengthened.

It is not dilution but growth and evolution, turning the body into a body full of Chenghuang blood, which quickly fills the heart and blood vessels and flows into all rivers.

The Demon Fox Blood that temporarily replaced the Chenghuang bloodline was quickly replaced by the higher-level Chenghuang bloodline.

If this trend continues, Cheng Cheng may recover in just one day.

This type of injury is special. As long as the treatment is appropriate, recovery will be quick and there shouldn't be any problems.

Qin Yi withdrew his hand from Cheng Cheng's body and gradually became distracted.

What Cheng Cheng just said did make him feel a bit conflicted.

This time, Ye Ling was called upon by Ye Ling from Cheng Cheng to save her life. She was in a weak state and almost died. Qin Yi came to save her, and neither of them mentioned their past grievances.

In reality, just because something isn't said doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Cheng Cheng did do something that almost killed him. It's not about holding a grudge, but rather, if Cheng Cheng were to revert to her original demon king form, would she still be so weak and dependent, and would she still think, "Even without Law Power, you're still so handsome"?

No, not anymore.

She will be a queen of great talent and ambition, whose vision is focused on her people, the rift valley, the heavens and the earth, and the heroic spirit of the past.

It wouldn't be that weak woman who used to cling to him like a twin, nestled in the crook of his shoulder anymore; it's more like... the mute girl from back then has become the demon king Chenghuang.

Qin Yi knew that Cheng Cheng was definitely somewhat sincere towards him, but how much of that was truly important to her?

Even for the Qing Jun of yesteryear, emotions couldn't outweigh the responsibility to his country, let alone a demon king like him!

Qin Yi sighed softly. He had no right to demand anything from others... Saving lives was one thing, but saving lives was another.

While I was lost in thought, I suddenly caught a whiff of a strange fragrance.

Qin Yi snapped out of his daze and became alert.

That was the expelled Demon Fox Blood ... not seeping from the skin like blood, but rather dispersing faintly in the air like smoke. Like the smoke from the "Lingering Bell," it enveloped the entire secret chamber. And he, being so close, absorbed it especially deeply.

Demon Fox Blood... isn't that just hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac?

Looking at Cheng Cheng sleeping, a surge of lust immediately rose in his heart, especially since he knew he might not have to take any responsibility. He almost wanted to kill her on the spot!

Qin Yi suddenly stood up, not looking at Cheng Cheng, turned and ran, leaving the secret room in an instant.

The moment he left the secret room, Cheng Cheng opened her eyes, turned to look in the direction he had left, and sighed softly.

Outside the secret chamber, Qin Yi had already dashed out of the Fragrant Aroma Hall and was running towards Ye Ling's Crown Prince's Crown Prince Palace. This Imperial Palace is full of foxes; Ye Ling must have the antidote to counteract the Demon Fox Blood.

Liusu said leisurely, "Isn't it great? You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to take responsibility. What's the point of running away?"

Qin Yi pursed his lips and didn't answer, then jogged with a somewhat strained posture.

Seeing his awkward expression, Liusu chuckled, but ultimately said nothing more to him.

Liusu could guess it, and Qin Yi certainly could too. Cheng Cheng wasn't trying to harm anyone this time, but it was still intentional.

She knew perfectly well that the Demon Fox Blood would be released and have this effect, yet she deliberately kept him here for this reason... This was clearly an intention to compensate with her own body, allowing him to take and use both bodies as he pleased, as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.

After that, she was the Demon King, he was human, and they returned to their origins.

It was indeed Liusu who said it, "Do whatever you want, and you won't be held responsible."

Moreover, Cheng Cheng's idea of returning to the starting point might not even be a reality. This grudge is already entangled; how can she let it go? It will probably drizzle all night, and she'll have to come back the next day.

But Qin Yi really didn't want to do that.

Meng Qingying had been tricked by the Lingering Bell before; even if he didn't take the initiative, Meng Qingying would still force him to do it, and resistance was useless unless Liusu was willing to ring the bell outside. But this time he had a choice, and he really didn't want to do it.

I don't want to do this even if there are no consequences.

Emotionally, I don't want to treat this as a transaction, and deep down, I don't want to become an unrestrained, low-level beast driven solely by desire.

Even if Liusu thinks everyone is a monkey.

That's different!

Qin Yi stumbled into Ye Ling's East Palace. Outside, a Sand Sculpture stood guard, with a pigeon flying above it. The pigeon did not stop Qin Yi when it saw him.

Qin Yi barged in and his eyes widened in surprise... Ye Ling was wrapped in a small blanket, lying on the ground cultivating.

Sensing someone barging in, Ye Ling groggily opened her eyes. She was initially delighted to see Qin Yi, but quickly noticed his heavy breathing and the heat emanating from his body, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother... brother." Ye Ling wrapped the blanket tighter around herself, stammering, "I'm still young..."

A nearby stone echoed, "Brother, I'm still young."

A small, lantern-shaped white ball floated around, and Xijiayi cried out, "Waaah, I'm still so young!"

Qin Yi slapped his forehead and decisively shut himself off.
