"Huh? What did you say?"
Su Yin was stunned for a moment, then realized that Luo Wen had misunderstood because of her sigh just now, so Su Yin hurriedly explained, "No, why would I want to see him? I just feel bad that I have to go out to play tomorrow and I won't have you with me."
"Be careful." Seeing Su Yin say this, Luo Wen nodded and instructed her.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll be fine. I'll be back soon." Su Yin said to Luo Wen jokingly, but he just nodded lightly and didn't say anything else.
Another wave of melancholy washed over her. Su Yin stared at Luo Wen's stunning profile, thinking of his meeting with the head of the Xi family tomorrow. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness for him. She knew he had a lot to live through. Yes, from a discarded child of the Luo family on the street to the current head of the Luo family, a figure above all others, this heartache was something only he could truly understand.
Luo Wen didn't say anything. Su Yin just tilted her head slightly to look at him, and kept turning her head to look down at the fish swimming in the pond. The atmosphere suddenly became dull. As if she thought of something, Su Yin bit her lower lip uneasily, and asked after hesitating for a while, "Since it's not poisoning, then the pain in your body is caused by... Is it, is it the sequelae of your inner elixir being taken away?" Su Yin asked speculatively.
Following Su Yin's words, Luo Wen's movements froze, but he immediately returned to normal and coldly denied it, "No."
"Ah," Su Yin asked doubtfully. Was she wrong again? But if it wasn't for that reason, then... why?
Seeing Su Yin looking at him curiously, Luo Wen concentrated his attention and decided to answer Su Yin. He spoke slowly and coldly.
"That winter, I encountered a spirit beast in the snow. It was the king of demonic beasts, able to freely cast powerful barriers and corner its enemies. Before it died, it placed a treasure from its body on me. This allowed me to freely cast barriers and some low-level spells even without my inner elixir."
Luo Wen paused and continued, "However, on the other hand, the magical powers of humans and beasts are ultimately different. Once they are used interchangeably, they will inevitably suffer inhuman pain. Therefore, I must endure the pain of bone-gnawing backlash every month before I can use this ability."
So that's how it is. After hearing Luo Wen's words, Su Yin nodded thoughtfully. Seeing that Luo Wen's face didn't show any extra expression, Su Yin tentatively asked, "Then there is no way to curb this pain? For example... can you give up this ability?"
Luo Wen paused and shook his head slowly, "Over the years, this ability of its has long been mixed with my bloodline and cannot be separated."
"Ah, so that's it." Su Yin lowered his head in frustration, remaining silent. If that were the case, wouldn't that mean Luo Wen would have to endure this bone-biting pain from now on? However, if this ability could truly be separated, Luo Wen wouldn't agree.
Even if a person as strong as Luo Wen is in extreme pain in the end, he would not want to endure the pain of having his abilities taken away and end up having to live under the protection of others.
That wouldn't be him. The Luo Wen she knew was a man as strong as a mountain. How could he live a life where he needed the protection of others to survive and had no power to protect himself?
