525: Refining the Heart

At noon, the first thing Lin Qiqi did upon waking up was to immediately look to her side.

Discovering that Zhou Luo was still held in her arms, the visible panic on her face instantly vanished, and she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

She held him, her head pressed against his chest, and her voice, filled with a sobbing tone, slowly sounded: "Brother, I am sorry…"

Thinking of the painful appearance he had last night, Lin Qiqi did not know how he had managed to endure it.

Although she could not personally feel his pain, just watching it was already heartbreaking.

Especially since she had a nightmare last night.

She dreamt that he died right in front of her for her sake.

That kind of nightmare was something she never wanted to recall in her life.

Especially since she had finally found the feeling of home with him.

If he really left this world because of her.

Then she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, that burning hot breath and his beating heart let her know that he was still here and safely alive.

This caused her eyes to redden again, and she felt endless self-reproach in her heart.

Seeing her appearance, Zhou Luo gently stroked her head and comforted her: "It is fine. From today on, you can begin cultivation."

Previously, due to the existence of that energy, external power simply could not enter her body, and naturally, she could not absorb it.

Now, most of the energy produced by the Mystic Lightning Divine Body had been drawn in and absorbed by him, and the remaining energy currently could not affect Lin Qiqi for the time being.

She could use the Gu to officially begin cultivating immortality.

"Brother, are you really okay?" Lin Qiqi tilted her head up, her small face full of worry.

Zhou Luo smiled indifferently: "Silly girl, how could I be okay? Do not cry. You should be happy that you can cultivate immortality."

As he said this, he gently flicked her delicate nose.

Lin Qiqi nodded.

In the afternoon, Zhou Luo took out the Gu again and re-introduced it into her body.

This time, the beam of light constructed by the Gu was not impacted by the Mystic Lightning Divine Body and successfully entered her Dantian.

Zhou Luo also began to teach her the Cultivation Technique for absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

According to his estimation, this absorption would last for at least about a month.

By then, he would have to absorb the violent energy produced by the Mystic Lightning Divine Body for her again.

This process needed to continue at least until her Physical Body could adapt.

He did not know how long it would take.

At night, Zhou Luo wrote a letter to Wang Lang, asking him to help keep an eye out for information on Advanced Body Refining techniques.

Although his Physical Body had already reached the quality of a Spiritual Artifact.

But to absorb the power of the Mystic Lightning Divine Body, it was still far from enough.

Especially as time passed, the power of the Mystic Lightning Divine Body would become increasingly terrifying, so he had to make preparations early.

Just like that, another half a month passed.

While Zhou Luo was in the backyard teaching Lin Qiqi to cultivate, Wang Yuwei arrived at the Zhou Residence.

"Aunt Yuwei!"

Seeing her appear, the now graceful and poised Zhou Shiyu immediately shouted in surprise.

Now nearly twenty years old, she had grown up to be very beautiful, with a lovely face and inner wisdom, and her features were very similar to Wang Yuwei's.

All these years, she had stayed by Zhou Luo's side and had not been sent to the Azure Origin Sect.

Because Zhou Luo had told her that he would send her to the Azure Spring True Sect in the future to cultivate with Wang Yuwei.

Perhaps because of their Bloodline, Zhou Shiyu had always felt incredibly close to Wang Yuwei; even though they had not met for many years, she still deeply desired to be close to her.

Now that she had finally waited for her to visit, she was incredibly happy.

Upon seeing her for the first time, Wang Yuwei's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her indifferent face.

Even though she was practicing the Greatest Emotionless Sutra, facing her daughter whom she had not seen for many years, the softness in her heart was still touched.

However, very quickly, her emotions gradually stabilized under the influence of the technique.

"Shiyu, long time no see." She said in a calm voice.

Zhou Shiyu did not mind; she familiarly came to her side and grabbed her arm: "Aunt Yuwei, I have missed you so much."

Such an intimate action caused ripples in Wang Yuwei's just-stabilized state of mind once more.

She pursed her lips and could not help but sigh inwardly.

As expected, she was still unable to achieve a state of mind like still water.

Immediately, she let Zhou Shiyu pull her into the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, seeing so many children there, Wang Yuwei was slightly surprised.

She thought to herself that this Zhou Luo was certainly not idle; his energy was truly abundant.

"Wang Yuwei?"

At this moment, a surprised voice sounded.

Wang Yuwei looked over and discovered that it was actually someone she knew.

"Yan Ruomei, why are you here?"

As she said this, her gaze fell upon her bulging belly, and she was even more surprised by Zhou Luo's charm, that he had actually managed to win over a Personal Disciple of a Golden Core True Person.

She and Yan Ruomei had met at an exchange meeting of the Five Great Immortal Sects; at that time, they had participated in trials in the same squad, so they could be considered companions.

She had not expected to see her at the Zhou Residence today.

Hearing this, Yan Ruomei looked shy, and her voice was gentle: "Because my husband is here."

Now, she had been completely conquered by Zhou Luo; although she still had self-awareness, she prioritized Zhou Luo in everything.

Regarding these words, Wang Yuwei was also quite surprised.

Back when she and her were in the same squad, she had discovered that she had a haughty personality and was not easy to get along with.

Now, looking at her, she felt that she had undergone a complete transformation.

"Are you also one of my husband's women?" Yan Ruomei suddenly asked again.

"No." Wang Yuwei shook her head and denied it.

"Young Mother Ruomei, Aunt Yuwei is Mother's Junior Sister." Zhou Shiyu, who was to the side, introduced.

Since she was young, Ye Qian had introduced Wang Yuwei's identity to her, and she had always remembered it.

Wang Yuwei's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she did not deny it.

"Yuwei has come."

At this time, Ye Qian also walked out.

Now, she was dressed in luxurious clothing, poised and graceful, and gentle and elegant, giving people a feeling of nobility and magnificence.

"Mother."

Seeing her appear, Zhou Shiyu immediately let go of Wang Yuwei's hand, trotted over, hugged her, and tilted her head up with a smile: "Mother, am I going to the Azure Spring True Sect now?"

"Good child, you have to ask your father." Ye Qian stroked her head with a smile.

This scene fell into Wang Yuwei's eyes, causing ripples in her calm heart.

Hearing her own child calling someone else mother stirred up quite a few ripples in her heart.

She pursed her lips and forcibly circulated the Supreme Forgetfulness Sutra, wanting to suppress this emotion.

But on second thought, wasn't she here to undergo a tribulation?

So she stopped resisting and instead let those emotions run wild.

Although it was very uncomfortable, for her, this was a trial, something she was meant to experience.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Wang Yuwei met Zhou Luo and Lin Qiqi.

Upon seeing Lin Qiqi for the first time, a trace of surprise appeared on Wang Yuwei's face.

"Half-Demon."

She looked at Lin Qiqi's pink, delicate ears hidden in her hair, and was filled with astonishment.
