Feng Rong's racial talent was naturally adept at soul manipulation, but this was, after all, fusing a single soul, a process that consumed a great deal of energy even for a god. The illusory figure gradually merged with Nie Zheng before him, until it was completely absorbed into his body. Nie Zheng, who had been sitting opposite him like a puppet, finally closed his eyes and fainted.
"Nie Zheng!" Ning Hui exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward to support him.
Yuan Qi also stepped forward to take his pulse and examined him carefully. He said in a deep voice, "His soul has completely merged, but his primordial spirit has been damaged due to being separated from his body for too long. There's no rush. I'll set up a few formations to restore his vital energy, and he'll recover after a period of rest."
"Thank you both, Venerable Ones." Ning Hui breathed a sigh of relief and helped the person to lie down on the bed next to her. Yuan Qi immediately formed hand seals and set up a series of exquisite magic arrays, instantly increasing the immortal energy in the room.
"It's good that he can recover." Heng Yan was also overjoyed. He glanced at the exquisite array that someone had casually set up by the bedside, and upon closer inspection, his eyes widened in amazement. "This is... a five-fold Rejuvenation Array! That's wonderful! With this array, it seems Fellow Daoist Nie will wake up tomorrow. Although his cultivation will be somewhat damaged, he can recover in time! By the way, I have some high-grade immortal pills here, but I'm not sure if they can be used... this person..."
He took out a bottle of pills, glanced at Yuan Qi as if unsure how to address him, then turned back to You You for a questioning look, "Master..."
"My name is You You!" She twitched her lips, quickly correcting him before he could call her grandpa, and casually introduced, "This is Yuan Qi, Yuan's father!"
“Yuan… Dad?” Hengyan was taken aback, then suddenly understood something. He immediately turned to look at Yuan Qi and called out loudly and clearly, “Great-Grandpa!”
Youyou: "..."
Ning Hui: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
The room fell silent instantly. Even Yuan Qi, who was usually calm, trembled and almost broke the array.
Grandpa's father was called Great-Grandpa. Hmm, that makes perfect sense!
"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Feng Rong burst into laughter without any restraint, looking at Yuan Qi with a gloating expression. "Great-grandfather... Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Yuan Qi, congratulations on getting a great-grandson for free! Hahaha..."
Hengyan looked bewildered, glancing back and forth between Yuan Qi and Feng Rong, who was laughing so hard she was bent over. "Did...did I say something wrong?"
“That’s right, absolutely right, hahahahaha…” Perhaps because it was rare to see Yuan Qi make a fool of himself, Feng Rong couldn’t stop laughing. She even patted Heng Yan approvingly and said, “Such a sensible great-grandson, why don’t you acknowledge him! Hahaha… hiccup… cough cough cough!”
He laughed so hard that he almost choked on his own breath, and since he had just helped Nie Zheng regain his senses and hadn't had time to catch his breath, he coughed a series of coughs, turning his face red.
"You really are..." You You was speechless for a moment, then reached out and patted his back. "Are you alright?"
"I just..." Feng Rong subconsciously wanted to retort, but when she turned around, she met the other person's concerned eyes. She paused for a moment, her eyes darting around. She then slumped against her, her whole body instantly weakening as if she had suffered some serious injury. She nodded with infinite grievance, "Something happened. I just used up too much energy. I feel so bad and can't stand up. Please help me!"
After saying that, she hummed a few times, hugged the person in front of her like a teddy bear, and leaned her head directly on You You's shoulder, her face showing a hint of paleness.
"..." Is it that serious? Youyou stopped trying to push the other person away. "You're not really hurt, are you?"
“The Soul-Returning Technique is indeed mentally taxing…” Hengyan said with some concern, and immediately stepped forward to suggest, “Grandpa, there are still many courtyards and rooms here, why don’t we go and rest a bit? This…”
He paused, as if he had been stumped by the way of addressing her. He looked at the two people who were leaning on each other without any regard for their surroundings, and then suddenly understood what was going on. With some hesitation and uncertainty, he called out to them.
"grandmother?"
Everyone: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
They froze instantly!
Hengyan, however, thought he had guessed correctly and continued enthusiastically, "Behind this mountain is a Fire Pool. Grandma, you're a Phoenix Clan member, and the Fire Pool is perfect for your recuperation. Grandma, would you like to go there now? I'll find someone to guide you. Grandma, you..."
"Shut up!"
You're the grandma, your whole family are grandmas.
(#= Dis=)_|___|_
"Pfft... The Second Emperor is right! The Earth Fire Pool is indeed beneficial to the Phoenix Clan." Yuan Qi burst out laughing, returning the mockery from before, and said with a smile, "Don't you agree, daughter-in-law?!"
"..." Who's your daughter-in-law!
Feng Rong's face turned pale, but she pretended to be weak and couldn't settle scores on the spot. She was so angry that she was like a ball about to explode.
"Alright, alright, aren't you feeling unwell? Let me help you to rest!" Youyou was worried about his injuries, so she pulled him out the door.
Half a while.
puff……
"Don't laugh!"
————————
Youyou escorted Fengrong to the next courtyard. Whether it was because she was annoyed by Hengyan's strange way of addressing her or because of the spell she had just cast, Fengrong's face really showed some fatigue. She leaned against Youyou and pressed herself against her.
"Alright, didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Go lie down on the bed!" Youyou tried to pull him off her, but he wouldn't let go. He looked exhausted, but the hands around her waist were incredibly strong, and she couldn't pull him off no matter what she did.
"No!" Feng Rong's entire being exuded rejection. She turned her head, which was resting on her shoulder, and moved closer. "I feel unwell. Just let me hug you and I'll feel better."
