When Shen Xinglan arrived at the gate of Shen Sui's courtyard, he smelled a faint smell of blood.
Without having time to think, he pushed the door open and walked in. Then he saw a bizarre scene in the water pavilion. Shen Sui was lying on a pile of spirit stones, crawling with difficulty and effort.
Shen Xinglan: "...What are you doing?"
Shen Xinglan closed the courtyard door casually, and when Shen Sui heard Shen Xinglan's voice, she raised her eyelids lazily, then screamed, and tried to get up but fell into the pile of spirit stones with a plop. Shen Xinglan quickly teleported over and picked her up from the pile of spirit stones.
"Brother, I don't mind if you force me." Shen Sui hugged Shen Xinglan's waist, then rubbed Shen Xinglan's chest and tried to throw a few seductive glances.
Shen Xinglan: "Get lost! Do you know that your eyes are about to twitch?"
Chen Sui: “…” Okay, okay, the seductive glance she had practiced for a whole second was actually shown to a blind man.
Chen Sui slowly steadied himself. "I was just absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones for cultivation. Last night I was struggling with the problem of not having enough spiritual energy, and then I remembered the 180 million spirit stones you gave me."
Shen Xinglan looked at her distrustfully: "What about the smell of blood? How do you explain it?"
"Ah, that one," Shen Sui blinked, then stretched out his hand. "I thought it would be really ugly to only have one hand scratched, so I let the other hand bleed a little. Look, brother, isn't it very symmetrical this way?"
Shen Xinglan: “???”
Damn, does she know what she is talking about, symmetry is so symmetrical???
Shen Xinglan suppressed the urge to curse, then calmly took out another porcelain bottle from his mustard bracelet and poured out a brown pill: "Open your mouth."
Shen Sui was puzzled, but still opened his mouth obediently.
The brown pill was thrown into Shen Sui's mouth. Shen Sui chewed it twice, and her face suddenly fell. She immediately wanted to spit out the brown pill in her mouth, but Shen Xinglan had already anticipated her move and directly reached out to cover Shen Sui's mouth.
Shen Sui was forced to swallow the brown pill. Before she could ask Shen Xinglan, Shen Xinglan stuffed another candied fruit into her mouth. Shen Sui narrowed her eyes happily. Okay, she decided to forgive Shen Xinglan.
"What was that thing you gave me to eat just now?" Shen Sui asked vaguely, holding the candied fruit in his mouth.
"Blood-replenishing pills," Shen Xinglan said without even looking up, as he began to pick up some useless, spiritual-free stones from the ground for Shen Sui. "You looked like you were almost dead just now."
Shen Sui: “…”
Shen Xinglan collected the waste stones one by one and then threw new spirit stones into the pile. "So, in just one night, you advanced directly from the middle stage of foundation building to the great perfection of foundation building?"
Chen Sui raised her chin proudly, "Yes," but she soon became depressed, "but 180 million spirit stones were successfully turned into 80 million spirit stones."
Shen Xinglan looked at her in shock: "You absorbed 100 million spirit stones worth of spiritual energy in one night?"
Chen Sui touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Do you think I'm too wasteful? Alas, there's nothing I can do. I've become addicted to absorbing it. The spiritual energy in those spirit stones is directly poured into my dantian. It's not enough at all."
Shen Xinglan looked at Chen Sui meaningfully: "Your Dantian wasn't burst by the spiritual energy?"
Shen Sui shook his head and said dimly, "Not only did I not burst, but I felt more energetic."
Shen Xinglan's expression was serious: "You wouldn't be taking drugs behind my back, would you?"
"You're the only one who forced me to take medicine when I disagreed with you!" Shen Sui said unhappily.
"By the way, we received a letter from the Yanshen Sect today, asking us to go check out the venue." Shen Xinglan said as he saw Chen Sui preparing to return to the embrace of the spirit stone pile again, "Also, there's a new rule added."
"What rules?" Shen Sui raised his head.
Shen Xinglan had a blank expression on his face: "This entire Immortal Discussion Conference doesn't care about life or death."
Shen Sui chewed on the last four words for a long time. She was a little slow-witted after not sleeping all night, but she still reacted, and then a little smile appeared on her face: "Is that so..."
This is good, it will be easier for her to take action.
But when she looked at Shen Xinglan, her expression seemed very unhappy. She could only sit up from the pile of spirit stones and stretched out her hand to Shen Xinglan: "Give me a hand."
Shen Xinglan didn't move: "I actually want to ask you something."
Chen Sui pretended not to understand and said with a smile: "What, what, didn't you say you were going to look at the venue?"
"Do you want to die or not?"
Shen Xinglan's words froze Shen Sui's smile on his face. Shen Xinglan lowered her eyes and looked at her. The sunlight fell on the handsome young man, coating him with a layer of golden light that was impossible to look directly at, making him look like a god.
But Shen Sui gently covered his eyes with his outstretched hand.
She felt a little irritated.
Just when Shen Xinglan thought that Shen Sui would not give him an answer, Shen Sui said in a hoarse voice: "You can understand this as something that is bound to happen."
Shen Xinglan looked at her, Shen Sui put his hand down and also looked at him.
For the first time, he discovered that Shen Sui's eyes were not dark, but rather had a tiny glint of light, as if...
Like shattered stars in the night sky.
This thought inexplicably emerged in Shen Xinglan's mind, and the eyes that seemed like stars just looked at him, as if hesitating, but Shen Xinglan was very patient.
He thought that he actually had very little patience with people. After all, from childhood to adulthood, no one was willing to listen to his ideas. Even if they were afraid of him, they would still make arrangements for him on their own initiative, as if they were completing something they had to do, and the protagonist of this thing was him, Shen Xinglan.
But Shen Sui is different.
When he saw Shen Sui for the first time, he sensed the same aura emanating from Shen Sui.
He couldn't describe that kind of similar aura, but he knew that Shen Sui was different from everyone else, or to be more precise, he knew that only Shen Sui was the same as him.
After all, when he left the Kunlun Realm and came to the Zihui Realm two years ago, he did feel incomparable freedom, but that was just freedom. He knew that the shackles were still invisibly tied to his hands, waiting for a certain opportunity, a time that would force Shen Xinglan to make a choice.
But when Chen Sui appeared, he was surprised to find that the shackles had changed.
It was as if it had to make some kind of change. You know, even after Shen Xinglan gained self-awareness, it had not changed for several years.
Shen Xinglan didn't understand why at first, but then he suddenly discovered something interesting.
It was actually afraid of Shen Sui.
