"Hahaha!"
Ning Rongrong's somewhat unkind laughter rang out.
She pointed at Dongfang Jing's face: "Captain, why do you look so haggard? Did you do something bad last night?"
Upon hearing this, the young girls all gave him strange looks.
Dongfang Jing looked at Ning Rongrong expressionlessly.
"I thought about the training plan all night yesterday and decided to give Rongrong extra training."
"ah?"
Seeing Ning Rongrong's face immediately fall, Dongfang Jing ignored her and went straight to the point.
"No physical training today. Bring out all the magical herbs you got yesterday."
After everyone had done so, Dongfang Jing taught them again how to take the corresponding immortal herbs.
When it was Wang Qiu'er's turn, Dongfang Jing noticed that she did not intend to eat the Acacia Heartbreak Red, but instead only took out the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
"I'll eat the Phoenix Sunflower after I've fully absorbed the medicinal power of the first immortal herb."
Wang Qiu'er paused, raised her eyes, and looked intently at Dongfang Jing.
"As for the 'heartbreak red' flower, I'd like to keep it as a memento. What do you think?"
Looking into her determined eyes, Dongfang Jing felt a strange sensation.
Why not seize this opportunity that could greatly enhance your strength?
But because it was proof of her sincere feelings, she chose to preserve it carefully.
This feeling of being cherished...
'Qiu'er...does she like me this much?'
If it weren't for this Acacia 'Heartbreak' red flower, Dongfang Jing would never have noticed her hidden thoughts.
Dongfang Jing scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and his tone became much gentler.
"Okay, as you wish."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er quickly lowered her head without any expression.
She appeared to be gazing at the magical herb in her hand, but in reality, she was desperately trying to conceal the turmoil within her heart.
'What?'
'What happened to Ah Jing...?!'
I have a feeling that he's changed?
But I can't quite put my finger on what this subtle change is.
This change, however, made Wang Qiu'er, who had a keen intuition, both nervous and excited.
With slightly trembling fingers, she plucked the petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum one by one, put them into her mouth, and casually tossed the remaining stem aside. She then immediately closed her eyes and began to cultivate on the spot to neutralize the powerful medicinal force.
The others also consumed their respective immortal herbs and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
Dongfang Jing's gaze immediately fell on his younger sister.
The little girl was holding the acacia flower, her face showing some reluctance.
Dongfang Jing walked to her side and said softly, "Yao'er, if you also want to keep it as a souvenir, I have other immortal herbs here that are suitable for you."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?"
"Um."
Dongfang Jing smiled and nodded, then turned to Ah Yin, who was watching from a distance.
"Sister, please protect them."
"Go ahead without worry."
Ah Yin responded gently, giving him a reassuring look.
Having received a response, Dongfang Jing then solemnly cupped his hands in the direction of his master, Biji.
He didn't say much.
He led Dongfang Yao into the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
Ah Yin turned her head, looked at the somewhat disappointed beauty beside her, and sighed softly.
"Don't be sad, Brigitte."
Brigitte slowly shook her head, her eyes dimming.
"Ah Yin, if I may be so bold as to ask..."
Her voice was a little weak: "If... if you and your loved one have a fight, what should you say to make up with him?"
How can matters of the heart be explained in just a few words?
Ah Yin smiled bitterly to herself; even she herself was a failure in matters of the heart...
But seeing Brigitte's helpless appearance, he decided to enlighten her.
"Sister Brigitte, if you ask me, you still need to take the initiative."
Seeing that Biji looked puzzled, Ah Yin patiently explained.
"I've been watching you all, and to be honest, it's always A-Jing who takes the initiative."
"The way he looks at you, that affection, is impossible to hide. But what about you, Sister Brigitte?"
"But you always hesitate and give ambiguous responses, making him feel hopeful. Isn't that just keeping Ah Jing hanging on?"
"Although I know you don't think that way, that's how it appears to others."
Brigitte lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
'Be more proactive... right?'
On the other side,
Inside the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors.
The wondrous sight of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire caused Dongfang Yao, who was seeing it for the first time, to slightly open her mouth, her eyes filled with awe.
Dongfang Jing didn't let her dwell on it for long and went straight to the point.
"The most significant effect of the immortal herbs that Zhu Qing and Rong Rong consumed was to rapidly increase their soul power in the early stages, laying the foundation for their cultivation in the middle stages."
"It is also possible that it will bring about positive changes in the body, martial spirit, and other aspects."
He looked at his sister with a serious expression: "Yao'er, instead of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, I recommend that you take the Eight-Star Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Grass, and like me, cultivate a constitution that is immune to both ice and fire. These two herbs alone are enough to benefit you for a lifetime."
"I understand," Dongfang Yao nodded.
Having read the "Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record," she naturally understood the effects of these two immortal herbs.
If she could choose freely, she would definitely choose these two plants.
"Yes, Qiu'er's physical body is already strong, so in comparison, the effect of what you took is the best."
Dongfang Jing added a sentence.
Then, he swiftly plucked the two immortal herbs, ice and fire.
Just when Dongfang Yao thought she was about to begin refining her golden body here, Dongfang Jing shook his head.
"This won't work."
"The process of absorbing them will take several hours, and the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors cannot withstand that long."
As he spoke, he once again activated his soul power, and a new spatial portal unfolded before him.
After leaving the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors, the brother and sister were teleported to the true Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in the Sunset Forest.
Arriving at the shore of the Ice and Fire Spring,
Dongfang Jing placed his hands on his sister's shoulders and gave her instructions, word by word.
"Yao'er, the process will be very painful, you must endure it!"
"If the pain becomes unbearable, it's okay to scream out."
Dongfang Yao nodded seriously, her face showing no fear, but instead a bright smile.
"Don't worry, brother, Yao'er will definitely do it!"
This little bit of hardship,
If even her brother survived, what else does she have to be afraid of?
She took a deep breath to bolster her courage.
A glint of cunning and determination flashed in his eyes.
She raised her hand, hooked her fingertips around her collar, and deftly untied herself.
The outer garment slipped down, revealing the inner lining underneath.
The fabric that concealed her springtime bosom piled up at her feet like falling clouds with a slight tremor of her wrist.
In the blink of an eye, the perfect figure sculpted through years of yoga practice was revealed in full.
She wasn't the kind of skinny, bony beauty, but rather a perfectly proportioned fullness.
Where meat is needed, it is generously provided; where slenderness is required, it is perfectly proportioned.
It truly exemplifies what it means to look slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.
