What will make Zhou Yuanyuan even more satisfied is yet to come.
After He Shumin was taken away by the ambulance, Zhou Yuanyuan withdrew her consciousness, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to practice.
When Zhou Yuanyuan sleeps, the golden elixir in her dantian will automatically rotate and absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, but the speed is slow, far less than the spiritual energy absorbed when she sits cross-legged in practice.
After emerging from the Langyuan Secret Realm, Zhou Yuanyuan realized she was too weak. Facing Daoyan Zhenjun, she wasn't sure she could withstand his palm strike. For the sake of her life, Zhou Yuanyuan no longer dared to slack off at night, instead sitting cross-legged and practicing all night long.
As usual, Zhou Yuanyuan absorbed the spiritual energy very quickly, and the spiritual energy happily flowed into Zhou Yuanyuan's meridians.
What was different from usual was that the spiritual energy that entered Zhou Yuanyuan's body this time was no longer milky white, but mixed with a hint of khaki.
Seeing the wisps of earthy yellow aura, the Chaos Pearl, suspended in mid-air as Zhou Yuanyuan's "guardian," trembled violently. The Chaos Pearl was overwhelmed with excitement. Aura of merit! Was it just going to penetrate its owner's body like that?
"Boss Xiaoyu, Master is truly amazing! I'm so envious..." Chaos Pearl didn't dare interrupt Zhou Yuanyuan's practice, so it turned to Xiaoyu to confide its excitement. If it could possess even a tiny wisp of merit, it would be able to roam the Lingbao Realm like Boss Xiaoyu.
Merit Qi is a valuable asset. When the Chaos Pearl first encountered Zhou Yuanyuan, it noticed Xiaoyu's presence. The Chaos Pearl, overconfident, attempted to devour both Xiaoyu and Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual energy. However, Xiaoyu possessed a wisp of Merit Qi protecting her, and the Chaos Pearl was subsequently counterattacked. After Zhou Yuanyuan passed the trial, the Heavenly Dao forcefully contracted the Chaos Pearl to her.
"Zhuzhu, follow the master, and you'll eventually gain the Qi of Merit." Although Xiaoyu was also very excited, she still acted like a boss in front of Chaos Pearl, pretending to be unconcerned and giving Chaos Pearl a reminder. Indeed, it was only after Xiaoyu followed Zhou Yuanyuan that she took the opportunity to save General Zhou and glimpsed a small amount of Qi of Merit.
"Yes, yes! Master is amazing!" The Chaos Pearl, remembering how Xiaoyu had acquired her Qi of Merit, placed high hopes on Zhou Yuanyuan. Cultivators favor powerful spiritual treasures, and powerful spiritual treasures, in turn, favor cultivators with good fortune. Zhou Yuanyuan fell into this fortunate category. The Chaos Pearl had a hunch that its master was no ordinary creature. Perhaps it, the Chaos Pearl, would one day return to the High Heaven Realm!
Zhou Yuanyuan was unaware of the expectations her two spiritual treasures held for her, and she harbored no ambitions. She would consider other matters only after her loved ones had passed away. Currently, she was obsessed with cultivation, seeking greater strength to protect those she desired.
Zhou Yuanyuan practiced for a whole night. After the spiritual energy she took into her body had circulated three major cycles, the sky began to turn white.
Zhou Yuanyuan stopped practicing and released her spiritual sense to look inward. She looked at the three strands of merit energy, as thick as wool, floating on the golden elixir in her dantian, and she almost fainted with happiness.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, come and look, how come the energy of merit has entered my dantian?" Zhou Yuanyuan is a good child who likes to get to the bottom of things. When she saw the energy of merit suddenly appear, she would definitely find Xiaoyu to explain it to her.
"Master, it's that He Shumin! Master, if you bring He Shumin down, he won't have the chance to harm others again!" Xiaoyu reminded Zhou Yuanyuan.
"What? He's such a villain? Xiaoyu, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a bit surprised. In her previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan had always been a grassroots person, so of course she had no idea what kind of turmoil He Shumin had stirred up in China. In her previous life, General Zhou died early, Cao Yunfei was overthrown by He Shumin, and the top leaders were deceived by He Shumin. For five or six years, He Shumin was extremely powerful and had a lot of trouble with some people.
In this life, Zhou Yuanyuan changed General Zhou's fate. If General Zhou had lived, He Shumin's position in front of the Supreme Leader would have been less important. In addition, Zhou Yuanyuan's move to dethrone He Shumin indirectly saved Cao Yunfei and those who were persecuted by He Shumin in the following years.
Cao Yunfei and those who were brought down by He Shumin made more or less contributions to the country. Zhou Yuanyuan rescued them, and only then did the heavens send down some wisps of merit to Zhou Yuanyuan as a reward.
After figuring out the origins of these meritorious spirits, Zhou Yuanyuan was particularly happy. Although Zhou Yuanyuan's original intention in punishing He Shumin was not for the sake of meritorious spirits, the feeling of being rewarded for doing good deeds was refreshing no matter how she thought about it!
After finishing the loving breakfast that Zhao Yunxiang had prepared, Zhou Yuanyuan prepared to go to school. She had no choice; she was still a middle school student and couldn't miss her final exams.
General Zhou's home was some distance from Chaoyang Middle School. Zhou Yuanyuan declined General Zhou's offer to send a driver to take her there and got into her mother's car.
Zhao Yunxiang also had to go to work, and her driver Qiu Yuhua arrived early, so she could just turn a corner and give Zhou Yuanyuan a ride.
"Yuanyuan, after we get to school, if someone says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart! We won't bother with those gossips." Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Yuanyuan sat in the back seat together. While the car was still not arriving at the school, Zhao Yunxiang planned to give Zhou Yuanyuan some psychological support.
There was no way. Time had passed and Zhao Yunxiang had a lot of things to do. She just remembered the rumors about Zhou Yuanyuan's premature love at school last time.
Because of that incident, Chaoyang Middle School's Dean of Studies, Wu Youwei, wanted to make an example of her and specifically called Zhao Yunxiang to come to the school. Although the incident was resolved with Wen Yulun's help, Zhao Yunxiang was still worried that Zhou Yuanyuan would hear something unpleasant when she returned to school.
Puppy love! It's still considered quite "rebellious" in this era. Yuanyuan is only thirteen! Rumors and gossip will hurt her young heart, right? Zhao Yunxiang thought uncertainly.
"Mom, do you mean..." As expected, Zhou Yuanyuan was dissatisfied with Zhao Yunxiang's hesitant way of speaking. It was Zhou Yuanyuan's usual style to ask for clarification on everything. Isn't it tiring to always have to guess?
"Ahem!" Zhao Yunxiang cleared her throat, glanced at Qiu Yuhua who was driving diligently up ahead, and lowered her voice to say, "Yuanyuan! Weren't you on a mission two months ago? That time you came back from a coma. Your homeroom teacher said you missed classes for a week and were dating a boy in the class. He complained to the dean and wants to expel you. I, your mother, went to the school and scolded those nonsense people."
Her own mother, who was as cute as a little white rabbit, went to school to scold people? Zhou Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide.
