"Okay! I'll go cultivate for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Zhou Quan lowered his head and kissed her, then went off to cultivate in the distance, satisfied.
He must stay away from water when he practices meditation.
After finishing her drawing, Li Mai stood up, stretched, and took another close look at the dress and jewelry she had drawn. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
What kind of material is this skirt made of? I need to go to the shop tomorrow and carefully choose the material.
Jewelry inlaid with jade beads, and skirts sewn with jade beads, are bound to be expensive. This skirt and jewelry won't be available in the affordable market in this town, nor will they be sold in large quantities.
So why not use the best materials and elevate this set to the high-end market, making it the crown jewel of both shops?
A name is essential!
Just as Li Mai was looking at the design draft and concentrating on thinking of a name, she suddenly felt herself being lifted into the air. The next moment, the man's hot lips pressed down on her, and his hands became even more unruly.
Li Mai sensed that his aura was very chaotic, so she quickly moved away from his lips and touched his forehead.
At this moment, she could see his face clearly. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with pain, but he seemed to be trying hard to suppress it.
"Xiaomai, I feel unwell!" Zhou Quan murmured, wanting only to be close to her body.
He felt like he was on fire, and Li Mai was like a clear spring; he just wanted to drown in it and get rid of the burning and uncomfortable feeling all over his body.
Li Mai's deep gaze signifies awakening.
It's unclear what he's awakening; it seems his body is undergoing fission and reorganization.
Li Mai didn't dare to think too much. She grabbed him and jumped into the stream, pressing him into the spiritual spring water. She quickly raised her palm and pressed it against his chest, and a surge of spiritual energy entered Zhou Quan's heart, which was on the verge of collapse.
"Calm down, Zhou Quan, calm down!"
Li Mai quickly lowered her head, forehead to forehead, and a surge of her water-based spiritual energy flowed directly from her spiritual platform into Zhou Quan's spiritual platform.
"Husband, are you feeling better?" Li Mai asked worriedly, holding his hand with her other hand.
Li Mai could feel the water around them starting to get scalding hot.
Her spiritual power flowed continuously into his body, and his eyes remained red as he stared blankly at her.
An hour later, the redness in Zhou Quan's eyes slowly faded, and he regained consciousness.
Seeing that Li Mai's palm was placed on his chest and spiritual energy was continuously flowing into his body, he gently called out "Xiaomai".
Seeing that he had finally regained consciousness, Li Mai gave him a weak smile and said, "It's good that you're alright!"
After saying that, she fainted on top of him.
"Xiaomai!" Zhou Quan quickly grabbed her and pulled her out of the stream with all his might. When they reached their resting area, he held her tightly in his arms.
He knew that she had exhausted her spiritual power in order to help him.
At this moment, he was still in pain all over his body and felt weak and exhausted. He had no strength left to do anything else, not even to use his spiritual power to dry the wet clothes on the two of them.
He could only hold her as he took off their wet clothes, pulled the blanket over them, and lay down on the bed in the space.
He just went through a life-or-death ordeal.
He never expected that when he tried to cultivate advanced fire-type abilities, his body would suddenly become unable to withstand it. His aura became chaotic, his spiritual power surged, the blood in his veins boiled, his bones ached so much that he almost collapsed, and his muscles felt like they were crawling with thousands of insects.
This feeling was both familiar and strange in his memories of his past life. He knew that this was a sign that his body was about to awaken the bloodline of a strange beast, a sign that his body was about to undergo a change.
He panicked at that moment, afraid that turning into a monster would scare Xiaomai, his family, and his children.
He was even more afraid of being disliked by Xiaomai. He thought he had lost his previous body and would no longer be able to transform, but unexpectedly, it still happened.
For the entire hour that followed, if Xiaomai hadn't used her spiritual power to help him suppress his emotions, he would probably no longer be the person Xiaomai knew.
He might become the same person from a hundred years ago who, in order to protect himself, did not hesitate to harm the weak.
Before she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, he pressed his lips to her forehead and gently kissed her!
My darling, thank goodness for you. I will never transform again in this lifetime!
He was truly fortunate to have met Li Mai in this lifetime.
From then on, Li Mai would be his most precious treasure for all eternity.
The next day, when Li Mai opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Quan sleeping soundly under the same blanket as her.
Li Mai was startled and quickly reached out to grab his wrist, pressing her palm against his pulse point to check. Only then did she realize that the two of them were completely naked.
She first inquired about Zhou Quan's condition.
Thankfully, he's alright!
She released his wrist and tried to get out of bed, but a hand wrapped around her waist, preventing her from leaving the covers.
"Awake?" Li Mai asked softly.
"Um, I'm sorry, Xiaomai, did I scare you last night?"
Li Mai shook her head. "It's alright. Luckily, I am water and you are fire, otherwise, I might not have been able to help you."
"Won't Xiaomai ask me what happened last night?" Zhou Quan put his arm around her, staring at her with a somewhat mysterious look in his eyes, and asked softly.
“I know you have some abilities that need to be awakened, but with your current spiritual power, it’s not time for them to awaken yet, otherwise you will die!” Li Mai shook her head.
Although she didn't know what he was going to awaken, she felt it wasn't the right time yet. Perhaps in a few years, when his spiritual power was profound and his supernatural abilities had been cultivated to a high level, he might be able to awaken something else.
Li Mai thought that Zhou Quan was about to awaken a spiritual root other than fire. At first, she thought it was water, since he was a water and fire elemental in his previous life, but she sensed that it was not water spiritual root that was about to awaken.
Perhaps I've been reborn into a different body, and there are other spiritual roots within it?
Seeing Li Mai's expression, Zhou Quan knew she had misunderstood.
"Do you remember that superhuman who was kept in an iron cage by your grandfather?" Zhou Quan asked softly, looking into her eyes.
He knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity to tell her the truth, he might never have another chance.
Li Mai nodded. "I remember, he seemed to be a superhuman with two forms..."
At this point, Li Mai suddenly stopped, her eyes narrowing as she stared at him.
Li Mai is a very smart person. Zhou Quan has already said so much. If she still can't guess it by now, she really shouldn't be called Li Mai.
Li Mai braced herself against Zhou Quan's side, straightening up to try and leave him, but Zhou Quan panicked for a moment, pulling her over and holding her tightly.
"Don't leave me. I will never hurt you again, and I will never transform again."
"Really, it will never change again. After you helped me suppress it last night, I have completely become a normal human being."
