Although he usually conceals and restrains himself, the closeness of the young girl likely has so influence on him.
Ti slowly passes.
"Daddy, Bing’er is sleepy..."
That day, Bing’er, the young girl, timidly whispered to Lu Changsheng, who was harvesting the Spiritual Vein Origin.
"Sleepy?"
Lu Changsheng was startled.
Although cultivators still use sleep to relax their ntal Spirit and Physical Body after Foundation Establishnt and Core Formation,
generally, if they don’t wish to sleep, they can stay awake for years without feeling sleepy.
However, considering her status as a Corpse Refinent, and the peculiar situation, Lu Changsheng didn’t say much and smiled: "If you’re sleepy, then sleep."
"Can’t... sleep."
Bing’er said sowhat aggrievedly.
"?"
Lu Changsheng was speechless, wondering if he needed to tell her a bedti story to help her sleep.
But seeing the young girl’s naive and innocent appearance, he patiently asked, "Why can’t you sleep?"
"My body feels uncomfortable..."
Bing’er said softly, with her clear, flawless eyes appearing to have a faint greenish glow flowing within them.
"Hmm?"
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow upon hearing this and checked the girl’s physical condition while multitasking.
He imdiately noticed that within the chilly corpse qi flowing through her body, there seed to be traces of Demonic Qi and Evil Qi.
"What’s happening here?"
Lu Changsheng was alard, unsure why such conditions were manifesting in her body.
He speculated that the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi pervading her body might cause so unknown transformation.
"Corpse transformation?"
The term suddenly popped into Lu Changsheng’s mind.
In his knowledge, corpse refinent was often sinister and eerie.
Yet, despite being a Corpse Refinent, the young girl had no trace of sinister eeriness;
even the Black Yin Qi flowing in her was stately and pure.
However, the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi that were erging from her body made her seem more like a true Corpse Refinent.
"How should this be handled?"
Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows knitted together.
Despite the young girl’s current harmless, frail, and pitiful appearance,
a single punch from her might even be more than he can handle.
If she underwent a corpse transformation and beca fierce and terrifying, Lu Changsheng would certainly not keep her around.
"Why was there no issue initially, and now this situation arises?"
Lu Changsheng continued to examine the girl’s condition, noticing that the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi indeed originated from deep within her body.
"Sleepy..."
At that mont, as if a strike of electricity flashed through his mind, Lu Changsheng looked towards the girl’s Crystal Coffin.
Previously, she had always been sleeping inside the coffin, and thus no issues arose.
Now that she’s feeling sleepy, could it an she should continue resting inside the Crystal Coffin?
The more Lu Changsheng thought about it, the more likely it seed, and with a slight movent of his ntal Spirit, the Great Hand of Magical Power grasped the Crystal Coffin, and he said aloud: "Bing’er, lie down inside here to sleep."
"Daddy..."
The young girl seed to fear that once she fell asleep, Lu Changsheng would no longer be there.
"Daddy is always here."
Lu Changsheng patiently said in a gentle voice.
Upon hearing this, the young girl reassured herself and clumsily climbed into the Crystal Coffin, lying down inside.
Lu Changsheng observed her condition and imdiately noticed that the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi were being suppressed.
"Is that really it..."
"It seems her condition is still unstable, or rather, this corpse hasn’t been fully refined, but because of my arrival, the process was interrupted."
Lu Changsheng secretly speculated, planning to take her ho later and let Hong Lian check what exactly was happening with the girl.
After all, he could not figure out what was wrong with her.
Seeing that the girl seed to have fallen into a deep sleep, calm and peaceful, Lu Changsheng’s Great Hand of Magical Power helped to cover the lid of the outer coffin.
"Bang!"
Just as the outer lid was secured, a crackling sound was heard;
Bing’er slightly lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing a small half of her head with her clear, flawless eyes pleadingly looking at Lu Changsheng and crying out: "Daddy..."
"I’m here, I’ve always been here, rest easy now."
Lu Changsheng softly responded, seeing her in such a state. .c
"Mhm, mhm."
The young girl slightly nodded her small head, and then with a ’bang’, the lid was closed again.
In the abyss, silence once again prevailed.
"What in the world is all this."
Lu Changsheng helplessly shook his head and then quietly continued to harvest the Spiritual Vein Origin.
...
One month later.
Lu Changsheng almost completed the harvesting of the Spiritual Vein Origin within the deep abyss and had filled up all the Mountain and River Cauldrons prepared.
"Crack!"
As a muffled sound echoed, the lid of the coffin was lifted slightly, and Bing’er, upon seeing Lu Changsheng still there, joyfully cried out: "Daddy."
"Bing’er, you woke up?"
Lu Changsheng was sowhat surprised, as he thought she would be asleep for a long ti.
"Mhm, mhm."
The girl propped up the lid and then moved to Lu Changsheng’s side, snuggling up to him like a little cat.
"Whoa, don’t rub against like that."
Lu Changsheng felt her soft, plump figure and spoke out.
Although the young girl had the mind of a child, her body was slender and graceful, already surpassing many seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girls.
Such rubbing was nothing but a provocation to Mr. Lu.
But looking into her clear, immaculate eyes, Lu Changsheng felt a wave of guilt,
thinking that he was a beast for having such thoughts towards a girl with only the mind of a child.
"Ah, still need to temper my mind."
Lu Changsheng sighed, completed the last bit of Spiritual Vein harvesting, and left with Bing’er.
Naturally, he did not forget her Crystal Coffin, taking it along in his Storage Ring.
He briefly examined it, finding the coffin to be an Exotic Treasure, solid and heavy, forged of unknown materials and filled with a cold and chilling aura.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
Bing’er, holding tightly to Lu Changsheng’s arm, asked innocently.
Assured that Lu Changsheng would not leave her, she no longer seed timid and helpless like when she just woke up, but instead displayed an innocent and cheerful deanor.
