Chapter 722: As Long As You Are Happy
Inside the room.
“Please sit.”
Lou Qianxue looked calm, but her eyes were stern.
An Shaoning maintained a smile. He took a look around the room, but only saw a meditation mat. Without saying a word, he sat on it.
“Close your eyes. Do not open them no matter what happens, unless I tell you to.”
An Shaoning obeyed her.
Lou Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief and retrieved the “artificial meridians” that had finally taken shape and became incorporated with the containment fruit from her Mountain River Space. The meridians had even absorbed a good amount of life energy from the magical tree.
These “meridians” resembled the thousand thread vine. They looked crystal-clear and exquisite in the light. Moreover, they were incredibly flexible yet also strong enough that they could not be easily slashed apart!
Lou Qianxue held the “meridians” in her hands as her mind pulsated. Instantly, her mental strength, coupled with Essence Martial Power, surged out and blanketed the “meridians.” The “meridians” rushed and entered An Shaoning bit by bit from the top of his head.
“Urgh…” An Shaoning’s face turned as pale as a sheet. His body quivered, and beads of perspiration dripped from his forehead. He was going through a lot of pain.
A strong sense of danger rose in his heart, instinctively making him want to resist.
However, he stopped himself at the critical moment.
A beautiful and courageous face appeared in his mind.
“Xiaoxiao would not harm me! Lou Qianxue would also not harm me for Xiaoxiao’s sake!”
He clenched his teeth and held in the pain…
After a long time…
After a long, long time…
Lou Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting in the garden, nervously paced back and forth. “What exactly are Qianxue and Shaoning doing? Why have they not come out after such a long time?”
She summoned someone to ask. The person replied that Lou Qianxue and An Shaoning had entered a room together and not stepped out since then.
Lou Xiaoxiao would never suspect anything between Lou Qianxue and An Shaoning, but she did get curious.
As she thought about it…
“Sister Xiaoxiao.” Lou Qianxue and An Shaoning walked toward her.
An Shaoning’s face was pale as though he was suffering from a bad sickness. However, he was in great spirits. His eyes were even sparkling, and his vital energy seemed to have reached its maximum…
“Shaoning?” Lou Xiaoxiao grew even more curious.
“Xiaoxiao!” An Shaoning hastily walked up to Lou Xiaoxiao and held her hands. “I…”
Cough!
Lou Qianxue let out a light cough.
An Shaoning bit his tongue.
Lou Xiaoxiao became anxious with curiosity. “Qianxue, stop teasing me! I’m getting mad.”
“Haha.” Lou Qianxue pointed at An Shaoning. “Look for yourself. He’s the present I prepared for you.”
This stunned Lou Xiaoxiao, and her face flushed. “Him as a present? He’s already mine…”
“Sister Xiaoxiao, take a closer look.”
Lou Xiaoxiao suppressed her bashfulness and carefully looked at An Shaoning.
Suddenly!
Her expression changed, and her breathing became rapid. She widened her eyes in disbelief. “You!!!”
Smiling, An Shaoning nodded.
Lou Xiaoxiao ecstatically grabbed him by his arms. “You’ve recovered? You have really recovered?”
An Shaoning nodded again, and his gentle eyes became full of tenderness. “Yes. Qianxue sculpted new meridians for me. I… can cultivate again! I can protect you in the future!”
“It’s not just that. Now, Brother Shaoning’s meridians are multiple times stronger than his previous one. His accident was a blessing in disguise. His cultivation in the future will only require half the effort to gain the same progress as a regular person would!”
“Oh my goodness!” Lou Xiaoxiao exclaimed. She let go of An Shaoning and tightly hugged Lou Qianxue. “Qianxue, you’re the best! You’re truly amazing! I am so happy! I am really so happy. Thank you for this gift! it’s the best present I’ve ever received!”
Lou Qianxue patted her back. “If you let Lou Han and the others see you like this, your authority would diminish!”
Lou Xiaoxiao continued to happily nuzzle her. “Thank you! Thank you Qianxue! I really don’t know what to say…”
“You don’t have to say anything.” Lou Qianxue hugged her back. “All is good as long as you’re happy.”
