"We believe you," Liudao Che said, then thought for a moment before asking, "How are you going to map out our meridians?"
I thought about it and said, somewhat awkwardly, "Your cultivation has already reached its limit. I can't raise my own power to its peak and interfere by force, so I'm afraid I'll have to feel my way through it inch by inch..."
Liudao Che's eyes widened, and her face instantly flushed crimson. Yun Shangxian began giggling, looking both amused and exasperated. "City Lord Xia, are you being serious?"
"This... this is the best method available right now. Mapping out meridians isn't something that can be completely read by injecting a strand of energy. Once my energy enters your bodies, it might not get very far before being gradually hunted down by your meridians' defensive mechanisms. So it would be best to inject energy into every area and investigate it from all sides. Only then can I be sure." I was actually rather helpless myself.
Yun Shangxian had also concealed her cultivation. In truth, she was fully capable of summoning the heavenly law, which meant that the complexity of her meridians was absolutely no less than Liudao Che's.
Of course, there was no need for her to hide it at all. If Donghuang truly inherited memories from every generation, then this was nothing more than staging The Emperor's New Clothes right in front of him.
"All right. You've put it so seriously that it would be awkward for us to argue. I suppose we can just treat it as performing the rites of husband and wife ahead of time." Yun Shangxian was remarkably straightforward, but this made Liudao Che feel extremely embarrassed. Although she kept a stiff face, the flush in her cheeks already showed how restless she was.
