When Yan Xiaobao was busy checking his body and saw how much he was injured, Cai Jie was dumbfounded, because he felt his body was filled with energy. So much energy made him even more vibrant than at his peak.
"How did you do it?" he asked in amazent, eyes wide as he looked at Yan Xiaobao. Jumping up from the bed, he noticed his friend no longer seed energetic, allowing Yan Xiaobao to lie on the bed he had just vacated.
"Sorry, I just feel a bit dizzy," he said, but soon after, his eyes slowly closed, and he fell into a deep sleep. As he lay on the bed, the black and white fox jumped up, curling into a fluffy ball on his chest. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in front of her new master.
Hours passed, and Yan Xiaobao finally awoke. His body was no longer exhausted, but now filled with energy once more. Although not as vibrant as before, Yan Xiaobao was still stronger than before he gained more life force. He still had about four hundred years of life force absorbed from the Saint he had killed.
"I need to find another way to harvest life force," Yan Xiaobao muttered to himself as he slowly stood up, only to see sothing fall to the ground, accompanied by a yelp. Looking at the ground, he found a furious little fox staring at him.
"Sorry," he said again, picking up the fox with a smile, and they both left the room together.
Cai Jie had disappeared sowhere, but Yan Xiaobao assud he had gone off into the city to ensure no more Crusaders were around.
Hui Yue walked through the house and found that Lao, Qiao, and Wang Julong were not present. Nor were any other experts, whom he usually spent ti with, slightly puzzled, he left the house to enter the park behind it. There, he found Wang Julong sitting on the green grass with Lao and Qiao, the three of them evidently cultivating together.
Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but laugh, watching the three work hard together, and he silently approached his three friends. He sat down and decided to cultivate with them. This was his family; this was where he felt at peace.
With this thought, Yan Xiaobao’s mind began to wander. He thought of his younger brother, staying in the village with their parents. The lives of the three were much better because he had given them so many gifts and money. Even so, whenever he wished to visit them, he felt a slight pain in his heart.
"I wonder when Sha Yun will co ho," Yan Xiaobao suddenly thought. "I haven’t seen her since they left the Gate of Heaven." He pondered, but he wasn’t worried. She was with a group of powerful experts, and she herself was very strong. Sooner or later, she would return to him when it suited her.
Sighing, he cleared his mind, then focused on steadying his breath. He concentrated on his surroundings, and slowly, the surrounding energy began to spiral into Yan Xiaobao’s body.
As he absorbed the energy, he couldn’t help but notice that although most of it was still Yang Energy, so of the energy he absorbed was also Yin Energy. Previously, unless it was at night, he couldn’t absorb Yin Energy, but this ti he could absorb a bit.
’What’s going on?’ he wondered, but suddenly he got the answer. He had rged with the witch, and now he had a male and female soul. So of the energy he absorbed was naturally Yin Energy, but this transformation puzzled him once more. The more he thought about it, the more he decided not to worry. Although his soul changed again and again, he was still himself.
"Well, there’s no need to complain about it, as I benefit in more ways than one," he thought, as he returned to his cultivation once more.
The sun hung high in the sky, and four people sat together, cultivating. The servants all smiled cheerfully when they saw Yan Xiaobao, Wang Julong, and the kids sitting together.
As night fell, Yan Xiaobao was the first to open his eyes. Looking at Qiao and Lao, he found Lao at one with the world; his senses had rged with nature.
Looking at Lao, Yan Xiaobao realized he hadn’t asked the little boy what elent affinity he had. "I’d better talk to him about it afterward," he thought to himself as he gently stroked Huli’s fur. He wouldn’t wake Qiao or Lao, knowing how important their current cultivation was.
Although Qiao wasn’t as talented as Lao, she was still talented enough to be considered a genius, and once again Yan Xiaobao was grateful he had taken in these two children. Closing his eyes, he continued to stroke Huli, while enjoying the tranquility around him, watching Wang Julong and the two kids working hard beside him.
The family sat on the park’s grassy field for a long ti. The sun had set, and the moon appeared before each one gradually opened their eyes. They all glowed slightly in the moonlight, with small shockwaves caused by energy surges emanating from their bodies. Everyone could see the peace of the heavens.
Seeing Yan Xiaobao there, though Lao had sensed his arrival earlier, the young man bowed to him, still unsure how to react to this person who had accepted them. All Lao felt was gratitude, but also a slight fear. He had never been treated so well before, and he hadn’t had the opportunity to gain life until now. If he didn’t show enough respect or talent, would he and his sister be taken back to their previous lives?
