"I can't read any more!"
Late at night, Jiang Xiaobai slammed the Dragon-Phoenix Harmonizing Qi Art shut and shoved it under the bed.
If I keep reading, something's bound to happen!
Letting out a breath, Jiang Xiaobai forced himself to close his eyes.
But the moment he did, diagrams of meridians and acupuncture points flashed through his mind, alternating with those little figures.
They kept cycling back and forth, leaving him unable to sleep.
After tossing and turning for who knew how long, Jiang Xiaobai finally drifted off.

"Huh? Who's talking?"

Startled, the Elder Princess raised her hand and brought it down.
Jiang Xiaobai gave a muffled grunt, kicked both feet, and lay there sleeping even more soundly.
The Elder Princess nudged him. Only after confirming that he was unresponsive did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Shaking her head, she helped Jiang Xiaobai sit up.
"Honestly, if the Yin-Yang Limitless Art those two seniors practiced weren't so unusual, I wouldn't bother with you!"
The Elder Princess snorted. "Still, having their two different kinds of internal energy gathered in your body is a stroke of luck for you!"
As she spoke, the Elder Princess settled Jiang Xiaobai cross-legged facing her, then raised her delicate hand and slowly placed it near the acupuncture point at his dantian.
Hum!
As an aura spread
