After calming down the cubs, Shen Miao was summoned away by Jiu Ying.
The latter looked unwell, his brows furrowed with deep worry, as if he were hiding some unresolved secret. Shen Miao followed him to the back mountain, and seeing that Jiu Ying still didn't intend to stop, she couldn't help but say tactfully, "If we go any further, we'll be deep in the mountains."
Jiuying stopped in her tracks, said nothing, and simply opened her arms, releasing a burst of spiritual energy. A tree in front of her, large enough for one person to hug, collapsed in response.
Shen Miao was startled.
She looked at Jiuying in surprise, circled him a few times, and clicked her tongue, saying, "You've advanced? How did you advance without making a sound?"
Jiuying withdrew his hand, and Shen Miao noticed that his hand was trembling.
"What happened to your hand?" Shen Miao wanted to pull it over to take a look.
He shouldn't have Parkinson's disease at such a young age.
Unexpectedly, before she could even touch Jiuying, she was roughly shoved and fell to the ground with a thud.
Shen Miao looked around, then at Jiu Ying, rubbing her sore bottom as she got up, and said angrily, "Are you out of your mind, Jiu Ying? Do you know that push could send someone flying?"
"I'm sorry." Jiuying's expression was full of forbearance and restraint.
Shen Miao sensed something was wrong, and her expression turned serious. "What's wrong? What happened to your hand? Why is it shaking? Is your injury still healing?"
A barrage of questions were thrown at him, and Jiu Ying could only manage a bitter smile.
"I'm not injured, it's just that my spiritual energy has been a bit unstable lately." He didn't even dare to spread his fingers, for fear of losing control and hitting Shen Miao directly.
Shen Miao exclaimed, "What do you mean by unstable?"
Jiuying explained simply, "It means that the growth rate is too fast, causing the body to be unable to withstand it and become uncontrollable, with the risk of losing control at any time."
Shen Miao had already seen the consequences of things getting out of control: such a big tree was snapped in two.
If it were a person standing there, they'd probably be searching for their internal organs all over the place.
Thinking of that scene, Shen Miao vomited.
She struggled to remain calm and asked seriously, "How long has this been going on? Could it just be a natural reaction to the increase in spiritual power?"
Jiuying shook his head: "It's been a while. At first, I thought it was because I ate the beast crystal, but later I found that it wasn't. My spiritual power is increasing faster and faster, and it feels like it can't be stopped."
It sounded very mysterious, and Shen Miao was a little frightened. "What would happen if the spiritual power continued to increase without restraint?"
Jiuying gazed at her, her eyes filled with sadness and sorrow. "I can't help hurting people. Maybe it's not my intention, but I can't help it."
After listening, Shen Miao felt a bit of a headache, but she still comforted Jiu Ying: "Don't worry, maybe you're just overthinking it. The situation isn't actually that bad. Let's wait and see."
Jiuying hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
He wanted to say that he was now a highly flammable and explosive substance, and that if he were left at home, he could explode at any time, which might affect Shen Miao and others.
Shen Miao seemed to understand what he wanted to say and quickly said, "Don't think too much. Just stay here and relax. No one will blame you. If anything goes wrong, just tell me."
Jiuying returned home with a heavy heart.
After offering some words of comfort, Shen Miao decided to discuss the matter with Qing Chen.
To be honest, she's quite dramatic now. The book at the time focused on the romance between the male and female protagonists while they were also working on their careers, but she didn't explain their specific abilities or anything like that.
This has led to her knowing nothing at all.
She knocked on Qingchen's door, and then, without waiting for a response, pushed the door open and went inside.
There was no custom of knocking here; she was the one who brought it here. However, she was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't have the energy to pay attention to etiquette or privacy.
"Qingchen..." Shen Miao called out and then stopped.
Because Qingchen suddenly started taking off his shirt.
After they got a loom, the clothes they wore at home were no longer animal skins, but real clothes. Because the weather was hot, Shen Miao made very simple T-shirts for Qing Chen and the other children.
It's one of those pullover clothes; you just need to grab the back of the collar and pull it up to take it off.
At this moment, Qingchen was in this position, his clothes were all pulled up, revealing his honey-colored skin and eight well-defined muscles. Qingchen's muscles were not the kind of exaggerated muscles, but rather a thin layer, yet they looked particularly powerful.
In short, beauty and strength are perfectly combined.
Shen Miao was momentarily stunned. This was the first time he had seen Qing Chen's body after he recovered. His physique was indeed top-notch; if he were around now, he would probably be a sensation in the entire modeling world.
Qingchen crumpled the clothes into a ball and calmly put on another one, covering up her stunning figure.
Shen Miao was slightly disappointed.
A good figure should be shown off; it's such a waste to hide it so tightly.
"What is it?" Qingchen looked at Shen Miao with a troubled expression.
This female beast has never changed her nature, but he doesn't have the energy to argue with her about these things right now, so he tries to talk to her as calmly as possible.
Shen Miao snapped out of her daze, feeling inexplicably embarrassed. She tried to cover it up by saying, "Um, why are you suddenly changing clothes in broad daylight?"
Qingchen's expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. "Change it if you want."
Shen Miao didn't notice, but she noticed something else: "Why is your face so pale? Wait, what's that at the corner of your mouth? Is it blood?"
Qingchen quickly raised his hand and wiped his mouth. "It's nothing, you must have misread it."
Then, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough a few times. Without even looking, he put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "You go out first, I haven't finished changing my clothes yet."
Shen Miao lowered her gaze. She wasn't finished changing yet?
Noticing her gaze, Qingchen's forehead vein throbbed, and he said, word by word, "Get out."
Her face regained some color after getting angry, making her look much better than her previous pale appearance. Shen Miao muttered, "If you're going out, then go out. There's no need to be so fierce."
She moved towards the door, opened it, and Qingchen coughed a few times behind her. Even after Shen Miao reached the door, she couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Um, are you feeling unwell...? Did you vomit blood?"
Shen Miao was greatly surprised.
If she hadn't looked back, she wouldn't have known that Qingchen's coughs were actually him spitting out blood.
This is terrifying.
Shen Miao rushed back, grabbed Qingchen's hand, preventing him from making a fist, and then saw that his hands were covered in blood.
Shen Miao: "..."
So everything just now was Qingchen's disguise. So it was also because he took off his clothes. Right, that piece of clothing, Shen Miao found it, opened it, and found that the front of the clothing was stained with blood, like peach blossoms blooming on it.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly vomit blood? How long have you been feeling this way?" Shen Miao asked anxiously, grabbing Qing Chen's wrist.
