"..."
When Xiao Yue woke up from his coma, he found himself already lying in Li Family Village.
He wasn't lying in a room or on a bed—right now, Xiao Yue was just sprawled out in a spacious courtyard, and he could vaguely hear the noisy voices of people outside the courtyard.
"You're awake?"
Turning his head, Xiao Yue imdiately saw Li Jingshu playing with her butterfly knife.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he seed to catch a glimpse of so kind of exotic beast within the blade.
But when Xiao Yue focused his gaze for a closer look, the shadow of that exotic beast had vanished, as if it had never been there at all.
"What happened? Where am I?"
Glancing around, Xiao Yue quietly asked Li Jingshu.
"This is Li Family Village, and you're in my house now."
She slowly put away the butterfly knife in her hand.
Li Jingshu fixed Xiao Yue with a rather odd look for a long mont before finally speaking.
"You saw it just now, didn't you?"
Blinking in confusion, Xiao Yue quickly figured it out.
"Are you saying... what I just saw wasn't a hallucination?"
Once she was sure Xiao Yue really had seen the figure of the exotic beast in the knife, Li Jingshu couldn't help but mutter in envy.
"So you really did achieve your Primordial Spirit after all."
With Li Jingshu's reminder,
Xiao Yue instantly understood, but then he lowered his head in puzzlent again.
"So this was your goal all along, ditating under the waterfall?"
"But... this Primordial Spirit doesn't quite match up with what you described?"
Apart from that fleeting spiritual perspective just now, Xiao Yue didn't feel like he'd awakened any other special powers or divine abilities.
"Of course it's different, you took a shortcut!"
After her brief mont of envy, Li Jingshu spoke assertively again.
"Big Bro said your Primordial Spirit was an artificial, heterodox spirit, flawed from the very beginning."
"Besides giving you an early sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, its greatest function is to keep you alive."
At these words, Xiao Yue finally noticed his body had already changed drastically.
His skin all over had taken on a reddish color.
There was a huge pair of wings on his back, and two small horns grew from his forehead.
Most importantly, when he breathed, Xiao Yue could clearly feel sothing flowing inside him.
"Is this Life Essence Qi?"
He experintally tried to control or influence the Life Essence Qi inside him.
But to his shock, Xiao Yue found that the Life Essence Qi didn't respond to him at all.
More than that, the Life Essence Qi even seed to consciously twist away twice, as if deliberately resisting his interference.
"Mm, looks like you noticed it too."
Noticing Xiao Yue's expression, Li Jingshu imdiately sat up straight and explained smugly.
"Big Bro told , if you wake up and can sense the Life Essence Qi but can't control it like I do, that's perfectly normal."
"Because your Life Essence Qi is alive—it's being controlled by another you..."
At this, Li Jingshu paused for a mont, then promptly corrected herself.
"More accurately, the Life Essence Qi in your body is another you."
"You need to learn to communicate with him if you ever want to use Life Essence Qi on your own like I can."
As she spoke, Li Jingshu deliberately raised her arm, letting Xiao Yue see more clearly the Body-Protecting Gang Qi slowly erging.
"Thank you."
After a long silence, Xiao Yue finally spoke again.
Xiao Yue wasn't an idiot—otherwise, he wouldn't have made it as a Minister of Justice who hunted criminals alone.
Even though he'd lost all mories from when the Witch King descended, he couldn't deny what had already happened.
Especially that living Life Essence Qi inside him.
It was almost blatantly telling Xiao Yue that Li Boyang had saved him again.
"You're welco. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Faced with Xiao Yue's unexpectedly calm deanor, this ti it was Li Jingshu's turn to blink in surprise.
"Uh, what's going on outside right now? Why does it sound so noisy out there?"
Watching the look of anticipation spread across Li Jingshu's face, a barely noticeable smile crept onto Xiao Yue's lips.
"You an the elders and those guys?"
"They're holding a big eting, trying to pick a na for Big Bro!"
"According to our customs, kids only get a proper na when they're around seven or eight years old."
"And today is the lucky date Sister-in-law got from the Big Cat..."
"So everyone wants to take advantage of it and give Big Bro a nice-sounding na."
This kind of custom existed in Great Xia too, so Xiao Yue just nodded in realization.
"Then why aren't you joining in the fun? Worried about ?"
Li Jingshu rolled her eyes at Xiao Yue in disdain and snapped,
"Of course not. What's there to worry about with you?"
"I just don't feel like joining the crowd anyway. They'll have to listen to Big Bro in the end."
Even though he already knew the standing of the "Son of the Mountain God" in this village,
Xiao Yue hadn't expected Li Boyang could decide even things like this himself.
"So by your logic, that 'Son of the Mountain God' has already picked his own na?"
"What na does he want for himself?"
...........................
anwhile, at this village assembly,
just as Xiao Yue and Li Jingshu had heard, the villagers of Li Family Village were currently noisily arguing over what to na Li Boyang.
This kind of atmosphere was completely unlike previous etings.
It was enough to show Li Boyang's reputation in Li Family Village nowadays.
If you looked closely, you'd even see the usually dignified old Village Chief, red in the face, arguing with Li Yu over the right to na Li Boyang.
Just to prove he was better at naming, the old Village Chief even invoked the Mountain God's title.
But as his father, Li Yu simply wouldn't back down on this issue—even the Mountain God showing up personally wouldn't make a difference.
Compared to all this, only Chen Yun, as his mother, seed perfectly composed in all of Li Family Village.
Smiling as she watched everyone argue, Chen Yun just stayed on the sidelines and never expressed an opinion.
Because Chen Yun knew perfectly well: her son wasn't even in the village right now, so it was pointless for everyone to argue themselves hoarse.
"That child... still so shy."
Mumbling under her breath, Chen Yun shook her head and glanced at Li Jingshu's courtyard.
She was now hesitating whether to sneak away and ask that Big Girl what sort of na her son wanted for himself.
After all, her son was closest to that Big Girl—they'd surely give a few hints, right?
