Just then, Ning Yanlan and Zhong Litong returned.
Jiang Yuan was surprised to find a hint of joy in Ning Yanlan's eyes, and she seemed much more relieved than before.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Yuan asked after feeling the two women's gazes.
“You’ve broken the Blood Shackles!” Zhong Litong suddenly said. “However, there’s a force within you blocking your blood energy, preventing it from circulating.”
"I've broken the Blood Shackles?" Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded. Why didn't he know that?
“That’s right, the Blood Shackles are indeed activated, but you don’t know it and you can’t use it!” Zhong Litong nodded and said, “There is a significant characteristic after the Blood Shackles are activated!”
What are the characteristics?
“It’s hard to die!” Zhong Litong said meaningfully. “Once the Blood Shackles are broken, even if you are seriously injured, you will slowly recover.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan recalled the events of the past few days and thought to himself, "No wonder!"
The injuries he sustained in the past few days have exceeded the limits of an ordinary person. Even with Bloodlust and the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique, he should be dead by now. So there was this connection.
Upon hearing this, he understood the situation. It must be the blood shackles that were activated in the Jiang family, but for some reason, he was unable to unleash the abilities of an ancient martial artist.
“To break through this barrier, I suggest you practice an ancient martial art, preferably one of a higher level. Only when the energy of the ancient martial art is stronger than the blocking force within your body can the Blood Shackles be reawakened,” Zhong Litong said.
“Jiang Yuan knows ancient martial arts!” Ning Yanlan immediately interjected.
"Girl, don't be so wary! I'm not going to let him join the Zhongli family, what are you panicking about!" Zhongli Tong said quietly to Ning Yanlan.
Jiang Yuan: "Uh!"
“The Zhongli family does indeed possess powerful ancient martial arts, but at most they are comparable to the blocking power within Jiang Yuan’s body. They are still somewhat weak to break through the blockage! Otherwise, I would recommend that Jiang Yuan join the Zhongli family, since the number of male members in the Zhongli family has been relatively small in recent years!” Zhongli Tong said.
"Why do you all need to join a family to practice your ancient martial arts?" Jiang Yuan wondered. The Ji family did it this way, and so did the Zhongli family.
“Of course! Cultivating a powerful ancient martial artist requires the entire foundation of a clan. If you don’t join a clan, who will train you? If you’re not strong, the clan has no reason to reveal its ancient martial arts!” Zhong Litong explained.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore!" Ning Yanlan was afraid that Zhong Litong would say something to 'bewitch' Jiang Yuan again, so she quickly asked everyone to sit down and eat.
While eating, Jiang Yuan carefully observed the group, and information about Zhong Litong and Leng Yue was detected.
"Human, fifth-order psionic type, psionic power: 42, talent: fire domain."
"Human, fourth-order dual-evolver, physical strength: 25, soul strength: 26."
"Spirit Race, Fifth-Order Spirit Energy System, Spirit Energy: Thirty-Two, Talents: Spirit Light Shield, Spirit Judgment."
The result surprised Jiang Yuan. He could see that Zhong Litong was at the fifth level, but Leng Yue's attributes had more than doubled in just a few days.
And Ning Yanlan, she became a fifth-order spiritual energy type just by cooking a meal. Were you secretly eating spiritual food in the kitchen?
Looking at himself, Jiang Yuan felt like crying. He made up his mind: tomorrow he would find a safe place to refine the Divine Blood Stone, and then perfectly fuse it to create his own exclusive cultivation technique. At that time, he could crush any weakling he wanted.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour. Jiang Yuan was practically invisible, while the women chatted happily.
Finally, after everyone had finished eating, Ning Yanlan pulled Jiang Yuan into the kitchen.
"With so many people here, it wouldn't be good for us to be all lovey-dovey in the kitchen!" Jiang Yuan teased Ning Yanlan.
"You wish!" Ning Yanlan retorted, then added, "How about you stay and wash the dishes?"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He thought Ning Yanlan had mysteriously pulled him into the kitchen for some good reason! Turns out, she wanted him to wash the dishes.
"There's a reward!" Ning Yanlan said, her eyes sparkling with longing.
"Ahem!" Jiang Yuan coughed twice, then said seriously, "Am I the kind of person who cares about rewards? The point is, I just enjoy washing dishes!"
"Hehe!" Ning Yanlan laughed, then said, "Behave well, Xiao Xin won't be coming to our room tonight!"
Jiang Yuan had just thought about the evening's activities when he noticed that Ning Yanlan and the other two women had all left.
"Sister Li, where are Yanlan and the others?" Jiang Yuan asked while tidying up the table.
“Go out!” Li Xiang said.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, can I take Peppa and George inside to play for a while?" Xiao Xin looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.
"Of course!" Jiang Yuan said gently. "Then, Sister Li, why don't you go play with Xiao Xin in her room? I'll take care of things here!"
“That won’t do!” Li Xiang immediately refused.
"No, no, no, this is a task Yanlan gave me! Don't interfere!" Jiang Yuan stopped Li Xiang from helping. This was a paid service, and as a gentleman, how could he slack off?
...
"Fire Phoenix, are you sure it's tomorrow?"
"What? You're reluctant to part with your boyfriend!"
How confident are you?
"I'm absolutely certain I can kill that guy!"
"What are our chances of surviving?"
"Less than 100%!"
"How much exactly!"
"One-tenth!"
The two women fell silent.
"I've scouted the location these past two days. If possible, I can cover your retreat!"
...
"Why hasn't he come back for so long?" Jiang Yuan was getting a little bored. Moreover, since his storage ring wasn't on him and most of his things were with Ning Yanlan, he couldn't even open the core to kill some time.
Knock knock!
