Xuan Yuan Academy, lounge.
Wei Linyuan specially took Si Jin to a rest room with abundant spiritual energy.
Open the window, and outside lies Lingxian Lake, the place with the strongest spiritual energy in Southern Liang.
Legend has it that this lake was formed by divine intervention, and its waters can cure all poisons.
All around are spiritual flowers and herbs, and a single plant can raise one's cultivation level by one level.
A gentle breeze rippled the lake, causing it to shimmer with tiny sparkles in the sunlight.
Wei Linyuan glanced at the shimmering lake surface, then turned to look at Si Jin: "Isn't it beautiful?"
Si Jin nodded.
Wei Linyuan continued to explain, "I built a rest room here for my cultivation before, which did help restore my spiritual power. Also, they always tried to harm me and I was always poisoned. This lake has saved my life several times."
As he spoke, he walked toward Si Jin, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible pride: "However, apart from me, no one knows the secret that the lake water can cure poison."
Perhaps because of Xuan Yuan Academy, no one was poisoned to the point of being incurable, nor was anyone driven to desperation, unable to even summon a servant, and instead crawled out of the house to drink lake water.
Zhu Ziqing poisoned Wei Linyuan more than once or twice; sometimes he managed to dodge, and sometimes he couldn't.
Fortunately, he didn't escape, otherwise he wouldn't have known the secret of how the lake water could detoxify him.
He survived by the skin of his teeth, determined to keep Zhu Ziqing a puppet in his hands, to make this good-for-nothing endure humiliation and beg him day after day, and to be ridiculed by the world.
But the process of discovering this secret must never be told to Jinjin.
He's already thirty-two, how could he let his own child feel sorry for him?
Wei Linyuan pulled Si Jin to the soft cushion in the center of the room and naturally changed the subject: "This is a spirit-binding array that I drew myself. If you meditate in it, you can quickly recover your spiritual power."
Looking at the array drawn with cinnabar, Si Jin couldn't help but think of the past two days when Wei Linyuan had been channeling spiritual energy into him every day, managing to clear some of the spiritual meridians in the original body that were blocked due to poisoning. His hand, which was holding Wei Linyuan's sleeve, tightened unconsciously.
He turned his head and kissed the old man's sexy, thin lips: "I love you."
Having said that, before Wei Linyuan could react, she immediately entered the formation: "I need to regulate my spiritual energy, you are not allowed to kiss me back."
"Okay." Wei Linyuan agreed readily, showing no sign of grievance; instead, his eyes were filled with smiles.
Si Jin felt that his reaction was a bit abnormal. Just as she was about to find out the reason, she saw the spirit-binding array beneath her activate. The next moment, his body shrank rapidly until it was only the size of a normal person's palm.
The body is still human, but the ears are gone. In their place are two pure white cat ears standing on the top of the head, and a fluffy tail standing behind it.
Si Jin was stunned for a moment, then raised her tiny hand to touch her ears on her head, her cold gaze sweeping towards Wei Linyuan.
But at this moment, the Ninth Prince was like a giant, and he had to squat down to see the fierce yet adorable look in the cat's eyes.
Wei Linyuan suppressed a laugh and explained, "Shrinking the body is beneficial for the circulation of spiritual energy throughout the body, and the recovery speed is dozens of times that of an ordinary person."
"This is a unique transformation technique passed down in our Wei family." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Si Jin's little ear: "If Jin Jin uses this state to regulate her breathing for a week, she should be able to fully recover."
Si Jin frowned, raised her hands, and irritably pushed away Wei Linyuan's big fingers, reminding him unhappily, "You messed up my hair!"
Perhaps it was truly angry, for as it spoke, the cat's tail involuntarily bristled, and its little ears twitched.
Wei Linyuan hurriedly covered his nose and loudly ordered, "Someone, bring me a pot of refreshing tea to cool me down, and some iced drinks."
He needs to cool himself down, otherwise he might die from a nosebleed that day.
