351: Chapter 351 I haven't decided yet

"I haven't decided yet."

Qin Lin stood in the corridor, watching her back disappear around the corner.

...

Murong Xue had lived on The Ark for a long time; her wounds had completely healed, leaving no scars.

Her spiritual power had also recovered, and was even purer than before she was injured.

Han Qing said it was the effect of the Physique Enhancement System. This time, Murong Xue didn't ask what the Physique Enhancement System was, because she had already gotten used to those inexplicable things on The Ark.

Her daily life became very routine.

In the morning, she would go to the Ecological Plantation to help Xu Xue water the plants; in the afternoon, she would go to the Medical Room to help Han Qing organize medicine; in the evening, she would go to the Flower Garden to look at the flowers Li Ran planted; and at night, she would Cultivate alone in her room.

The modern women on The Ark had different attitudes toward her.

Han Yurou still followed her around every day asking questions, Li Ying wouldn't talk to her but didn't avoid her either, Su Yuran would chat with her occasionally, and Qing Yue, Hong Yao, and Qing He were the closest to her because they came from the same world and shared common memories and language.

Qin Lin would come to see her every day; it wasn't necessarily to chat, sometimes he would just sit beside her, doing nothing.

Murong Xue didn't reject his company, but she didn't take the initiative to speak to him either.

The silence between them was not awkward, but a kind of tacit understanding.

Murong Xue went to find Qin Lin.

Qin Lin was looking at the star map on the Bridge, and the star map of the Tianxuan Galaxy was slowly rotating on the holographic screen.

Murong Xue walked in and sat down in the chair next to him.

"Qin Lin."

"Hmm."

"I want to go see your Transformation Room."

Qin Lin stood up and took her to the Transformation Room.

When Murong Xue stood on the platform, her heart was calm.

Energy circuits lit up from the soles of her feet, and golden light washed over her body.

She closed her eyes, feeling a wave of Warmth energy surge from the platform into her body, flowing through her Meridians to all her limbs and bones.

Her cultivation level broke through from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and then from Foundation Establishment Late Stage to Foundation Establishment Perfection, stopping at the threshold of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

She stepped off the platform, clenched her fists, and felt the surging spiritual power within her.

There were quite a few blessing points on The Ark, and Qin Lin used some for her, but not many.

It wasn't because he was stingy, but because the energy infusion in the Transformation Room required the body to adapt.

If too much was infused at once, her Meridians wouldn't be able to bear it.

Progressing step by step was the Righteous Path.

"Thank you."

Qin Lin looked at her as the golden light slowly faded from her face; her eyes were very bright.

"You're welcome."

Murong Xue began to Cultivate seriously on The Ark.

Her Spiritual Root was a Heaven-grade Water Spiritual Root, of higher quality than most people on The Ark.

The Transformation Room gave her a very high starting point, but she still had to walk the path ahead by herself.

She spent several hours every day in the cultivation room, meditating, circulating her Cultivation Technique, and absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Qin Lin would sometimes go to see her, seeing her sitting cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, eyes closed, breathing evenly, her body wrapped in a layer of pale blue light.

Her skin became better under the nourishment of spiritual power.

It wasn't the kind of goodness that came from makeup, but a clean, natural glow emanating from within.

Her face shone with a faint luster in the blue light, like a piece of carefully polished jade.

Qin Lin stood at the door for a few seconds, didn't go in, and turned to leave.

The light in Room No. 15 lit up again.

It wasn't the kind of blinding, sun-like light, but a soft, moonlight-like light that seeped through the door crack, casting a patch of silver-white on the corridor floor.

Han Qing went in every day to check, and the recorded data was getting better and better. Breathing was strong, heartbeat was steady, and spiritual power fluctuations were regular.

Her body was slowly waking up from deep sleep.

Qin Lin would go to the room to sit for a while every day, bringing that white crystal stone.

The crystal stone no longer glowed, but it was still warm.

He placed the crystal stone by the woman's pillow and sat on the chair by the bed, watching her.

Her face was still so white, so delicate, so unreal.

Her breathing was deeper than before, and the rise and fall of her chest was more pronounced.

Her fingers would occasionally move, and her eyelids would occasionally flutter.

Qin Lin felt she was about to wake up.

Murong Xue was very curious about Room No. 15.

When she passed by, she could feel a very strong energy fluctuation behind the door; it wasn't spiritual power, but another kind of energy she had never encountered before.

She asked Qin Lin what that was, and Qin Lin said, "You'll know when you wake up."

Murong Xue didn't press for an answer.

The Ark continued to orbit the outer periphery of this planet.

Qin Lin was very busy every day, dealing with The Ark's affairs during the day, and going to Qing Yue, Hong Yao, and Qing He's rooms at night.

Murong Xue watched him pacing in the corridor every day, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It wasn't jealousy, it wasn't envy, but a kind of realization of "so that's how it is."

She remembered what Qin Lin had asked her.

"Are you willing?"

She didn't answer, because she didn't know the answer.

One night, Qin Lin came out of Shen Qingyi's room and met Murong Xue in the corridor.

Murong Xue was leaning against the wall, holding a cup of hot milk, wearing that white nightgown, her hair loose, barefoot.

"Qin Lin."

"Hmm."

"Aren't you tired, doing this every day?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment: "I'm tired, but this is what I have to do."

Murong Xue looked at him, was silent for a while, and said:

"Let them have children for you?"

Qin Lin looked at her; there was fire in her eyes, not anger, but a kind of "I don't understand" fire.

"It's worth it for them to have a home in the apocalypse."

Murong Xue was stunned.

Qin Lin walked past her, stopped after a few steps, and didn't look back.

"You can leave at any time; The Ark's hatch won't be locked for you."

He left.

Murong Xue stood in the corridor, watching his back disappear around the corner.

She looked down at the milk in her hand; the milk was no longer steaming, but she didn't drink it.

She stood holding the cup for a long time, then turned and returned to her room.

That door numbered 015 was quietly shut.

The Ark continued to sail along its orbit, flying toward the next target in the depths of the star map.
