Stop Pretending to be Pure with Me!

"Ah! Then let's hurry inside and take a look!"

Hearing Qin Guan say there was a possibility of dying inside, Yang Hongmei's legs went weak with fear.

Qin Guan didn't speak, placing his palm on the heavy stone door and applying a little force.

Rumble!

The heavy stone door slowly opened. The moment it opened, an intensely cold air surged out.

Yang Hongmei shivered all over, almost freezing stiff.

"You wait outside."

After speaking, Qin Guan entered the training room. The training room was frigid, with a thick layer of frost covering the floor and walls.

Soon, Qin Guan found Nan Qiao not far away. The moment he saw Nan Qiao, his heart suddenly jolted!

At this moment, Nan Qiao was like an ice sculpture, completely covered in a thick layer of ice crystals. Her expression was ferocious, her face alternating between snow-white and fiery red, and her aura was extremely chaotic, flowing erratically through her meridians.

She had really gone into qi deviation!

Seeing this, Qin Guan hurried forward and placed his palm on her head. As a surge of powerful gangqi entered her body, Nan Qiao's chaotic aura was quickly suppressed, and the ice crystals on her body melted rapidly.

At this moment, Yang Hongmei, who had been enduring the biting cold outside, rushed in. Upon seeing Nan Qiao's tragic state, she was so frightened and anxious that she almost burst into tears.

Knowing that Qin Guan was saving her daughter, Yang Hongmei only cried out once before immediately covering her mouth with her hand.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the ice crystals on Nan Qiao had melted. Icy water soaked her clothes, clinging tightly to her fair, smooth skin.

Some more sensitive areas were clearly visible, especially the two mounds in front, with a few crystal-clear water droplets slowly sliding into the ravines, looking very enticing.

Yang Hongmei also noticed her daughter's alluring figure was completely exposed. However, she didn't cover her daughter. Instead, she secretly glanced at Qin Guan.

Qin Guan glanced at Nan Qiao's alluring figure before quickly looking away. He turned to look at Yang Hongmei, about to say something, when he suddenly noticed Yang Hongmei secretly looking at him.

Qin Guan coughed awkwardly, "It's too cold in here. You take her back to her room, and I'll examine her body again."

Yang Hongmei nodded quickly and hurried forward to help Nan Qiao up. After taking a couple of steps, she looked at Qin Guan, "Son-in-law, I twisted my waist while cultivating these past two days. Could you carry Qiao'er for me?"

After speaking, Yang Hongmei rubbed her lower back in pain.

"Lead the way," Qin Guan said, stepping forward to lift Nan Qiao onto his back.

As they walked, Nan Qiao gradually woke up. When she realized she was being carried by a man, her chest pressed tightly against his back, she instinctively tried to get up. However, she found herself sore and weak all over, unable to move at all, not even having the strength to speak.

Her vision gradually cleared. Soon, she realized the person carrying her was Qin Guan, and the woman walking in front was her mother.

It seemed her brother-in-law and mother had saved her. Thinking about how she had suffered a backlash from her cultivation technique while attempting to break through to the Spirit Refining realm, nearly dying in the training room, she felt a wave of lingering fear.

It was already late at night. The moonlight was bright, and all was silent. The biting cold wind blew Qin Guan's hair backward, occasionally brushing against Nan Qiao's cheeks.

Nan Qiao smelled a scent of sweat mixed with a man's unique aroma. The warmth emanating from Qin Guan's firm and broad back, amidst the cold wind, instantly gave Nan Qiao a strong sense of security.

But this sense of security felt like a sharp knife, piercing directly into her heart, leaving her with a mix of emotions. Regret surged like a tidal wave, completely engulfing her.

Back in the Nan family hall, she had looked down on this man a hundred times, giving him to her sister. Now he had become her brother-in-law. If only she had...

Soon, Qin Guan arrived at Nan Qiao's residence with her on his back. Nan Qiao closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"Mother-in-law, change her clothes," Qin Guan said to Yang Hongmei after placing Nan Qiao on the bed.

Qin Guan then walked towards the door.

"Qiao'er, you're awake! You scared your mother to death!" Seeing Nan Qiao open her eyes, Yang Hongmei said excitedly.

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't, don't worry," Nan Qiao murmured.

"Don't talk. You're very weak!" Yang Hongmei said, quickly taking out some clothes from the wardrobe for Nan Qiao to change into.

"Son-in-law, she's changed!" A moment later, Yang Hongmei called Qin Guan, who was outside the room.

Qin Guan came to the bedside and found Nan Qiao awake. He said, "Did you suffer a backlash from your cultivation technique while breaking through a realm?"

"Mm," Nan Qiao nodded.

Qin Guan said nothing further. Instead, he placed his hand on Nan Qiao's pulse to check her injuries.

Sensing the severity of Nan Qiao's injuries, Qin Guan's brow furrowed. The situation was not optimistic. He found cracks on Nan Qiao's dantian and multiple damaged meridians on her body. Her foundation had also suffered considerable damage.

"Your injuries are quite severe. Your foundation and meridians are seriously damaged, and your dantian also has cracks," Qin Guan said solemnly after a moment, withdrawing his hand.

Hearing Qin Guan say her dantian was damaged, Nan Qiao's face instantly turned pale.

The dantian was extremely important to cultivators. If it was injured, it was often fatal. At best, cultivation would stagnate; at worst, cultivation would regress, turning them into cripples.
