Chapter 175: Divine Art Healing

…

Even though Lei Qing knew that Leng Yuewu was not so easily fooled, he had not expected her to be so ruthless when she struck. But at this moment, his meridians and acupoints were locked by the Ice Fighting Qi, and he could not move at all. How could he dare to be even the slightest bit arrogant?

The northwest region was cold at night, and with the surrounding icy aura constantly present, Lei Qing could not help but shiver. He laughed dryly and repeatedly said, “Wu’er, let’s talk nicely, don’t be rough.”

“Rough?” A indescribable charm filled Leng Yuewu’s eyes as she said gently, “Lei Lang, saying that really hurts my feelings. I am just following your instructions to help you clean your body. You wouldn’t be disliking my clumsy hands for not serving you well, would you?” As she spoke, a mist covered her eyes, making her seem a little aggrieved. Her fair, jade-like hands rubbed together to form a blade, with a cold glint flickering faintly. The direction she aimed at was actually Lei Qing’s only pair of underpants.

“How could that be? Fairy, your skills are superb, and your methods are clean and neat. I truly admire you extremely.” The hairs on Lei Qing’s back stood straight up as he said with a face full of fawning smiles, “Wu’er, you are gentle, charming, dignified, and virtuous. How could I possibly dislike you? I don’t know where I made you unhappy; tell me, and I can improve in the future, improve.” Lei Qing was indeed a bold person, but right now, her hand blade was aimed at the direction of his underpants. Even if his courage were ten times greater, he would not dare to offend Leng Yuewu at this moment.

“Lei Lang, you didn’t do anything wrong. It is just that I am narrow-minded and cannot stand seeing you hugging and touching other women. Once I think about it, my insides burn, and I cannot control myself.” Leng Yuewu said softly and quietly, “Lei Lang, you just used an excuse to stroke that woman’s beautiful legs in front of me. Were you acting miserable on the surface but secretly happy in your heart?”

“How is that possible?” Lei Qing looked serious and shook his head like a rattle drum. “Even though there are countless beautiful legs in the world, after seeing your snow-white skin and ice-like muscles, Fairy, legs that can be called a masterpiece of art. Lei Qing can only sigh with sorrow that all the beautiful legs in the world are merely like old trees and withered branches. Just now, I reluctantly helped Shentu Xue massage, truly only for the sake of your reputation.”

“Lei Lang, you really know how to make women happy. I wonder how many women you have deceived into being heartbroken for you.” Leng Yuewu’s face, covered by a veil, smiled lightly, and her smile became even more gentle and beautiful. Her jade palm struck out, and with a whoosh, a cold glint flashed. Lei Qing’s underpants ripped with a hiss and turned into countless scraps of cloth. “To repay your kindness, Lei Lang, allow me to serve you well in cleaning your body.” In her eyes, a trace of shyness actually appeared, even though she had already had many experiences of close combat with Lei Qing. But seeing it again, she was still slightly shy.

Oh my god. Lei Qing shouted in his heart, and goosebumps rose all over his body. A chill rushed straight from his tailbone into his brain. His tears were about to flow out uncontrollably. Mom, you gave birth to me and then left me alone. It turns out my life, Lei Qing’s, is just full of suffering.

“Oh my, I forgot that you specifically instructed to use hot water to clean your body.” Leng Yuewu looked panicked and fearful. “If you blame me, what should I do? I have only cultivated Ice Fighting Qi and have not cultivated Fire Fighting Qi.”

Seeing her act like this, Lei Qing’s hairs stood on end instead. Who knew what trick she was going to play next? He had to say, “Then just wipe me with cold water casually. I am strong and can withstand the cold. It’s fine, it’s fine.” He thought to himself, if this lady keeps him restrained here and says she is going to cultivate Fire Fighting Qi before coming back, someone might come in the next day and see him naked and tied to a chair. That would be embarrassing. The whole military camp would be talking about the scene of him being naked and tied to a chair.

“Lei Lang, you really know how to be considerate.” Leng Yuewu smiled beautifully and said with relief, “If you blamed me, I really wouldn’t know what to do. Ice water is a bit cold, but if used to clean the body, it is still somewhat beneficial. Please bear with it.”

“Ice, ice water?” Lei Qing felt a wave of sorrow in his heart. Cold water is just cold water; why does it have to be ice water? But he also knew that Leng Yuewu was jealous, and there was no reasoning to be had with a jealous woman.

“Didn’t you want me to sing a little song to make you happy?” Leng Yuewu’s eyes were full of charm as she said softly, “I am dull-witted and haven’t learned to sing songs. I can only perform a magic trick for you to win your favor.”

Suddenly, a great chill erupted around Leng Yuewu. One could only see her pair of fair, slender jade hands dancing gracefully in the void. Vast Fighting Qi, following her movements, rotated and spread throughout the entire tent, like a vortex of star trails in the void. Immediately after, she retracted her posture, and the Fighting Qi that had rotated out returned to her hands like a tide and was stored back into her body. At the same time, between her palms, a water ball that had been condensed into a sphere actually appeared.

The clear water ball was restricted between her hands by her exquisite Fighting Qi, flowing gently, looking indescribably beautiful.

“Lei Lang, is this move of fetching water from the air good-looking?”

Such a wonderful skill made Lei Qing stare in shock. He thought to himself that a Holy Rank power house is indeed worthy of being a Holy Rank powerhouse. Such a wonderful move is truly extraordinary. If used in marching and fighting, one would not even need to worry about water sources. However, Lei Qing did not know that although the principle of fetching water from the air was simple, performing it out of thin air consumed a great amount of Fighting Qi. It was fine for Leng Yuewu to play around like this, but if she really wanted to create water for an entire army, it would be difficult to achieve even if her cultivation were several times higher.

“Good-looking, good-looking.” Lei Qing had truly witnessed the power of a Holy Rank powerhouse today. The control over one’s own power had truly reached a level where one could do whatever one wished.

Leng Yuewu smiled and did not answer. With a light push of her palm, the water ball landed on Lei Qing’s body, but it did not burst open. Instead, it was controlled by a mysterious force and spread out thinly, covering his entire body. Suddenly, driven by a mysterious force, the water rotated violently on his body.

The water was extremely cold, freezing Lei Qing to the bone. However, as it constantly rotated and rubbed against his body, it not only washed away the filth from his cultivation cleanly but also constantly generated heat, like countless hands massaging and tapping him all over his body.

This gave him a sense of comfort he had never felt before. Such a method of bathing was a first try in his life. Magical, truly magical. After a while, Lei Qing’s body was clean and fresh, without a speck of dirt.

Moreover, under that deliberate massage, some of the blockages in his meridians were relieved a lot. This made Lei Qing suddenly understand that she was using jealousy as an excuse to teach him a lesson, but in reality, she was not only helping him wash clean but also treating him along the way. Furthermore, the Ice Fighting Qi that had been forced into his body earlier also dissipated like smoke, guided out by her.

Lei Qing did not know that if he took a hot bath while Leng Yuewu’s pure Ice Fighting Qi was in his body, it would likely provoke that Fighting Qi to run wild inside him and hurt him again. Thus, Leng Yuewu used some tricks to make him obediently accept her treatment and incidentally teach him a lesson to vent her anger. After all, him helping Shentu Xue massage earlier had made her extremely upset too.

Although the two were close and had spent several nights together, having Leng Yuewu face his naked body for no reason would still be awkward. Using this seemingly angry and scolding method of teaching a lesson actually seemed reasonable.

Seeing that a trace of fragrant sweat had already faintly appeared on her forehead, he knew that such precise control required her to consume a lot of physical strength and Fighting Qi. He said with a slight heartache, “Wu’er, thank you for healing me. You’ve worked hard.”

Leng Yuewu slightly turned her delicate body. There was a hint of exhaustion in her eyes. She casually grabbed Lei Qing’s military blanket from the air and covered his body. She said softly, “Just don’t remember me only as fierce and domineering in your heart. Also, Lei Qing, when I first saw you half a year ago, you were only at Mid-stage Bronze. Now, you are about to break through to Mid-stage Silver. Rapid progress in cultivation is a good thing, but remember to be steady and not be greedy for quick success. Your qi deviation this time was caused by your state of mind being too impatient.”

Lei Qing felt a tremor in his heart when he heard this. Perhaps Leng Yuewu was far below him in terms of romantic relationships. But when it came to cultivation, she was truly his senior.

“Wu’er, is there any way for me to avoid qi deviation?” Lei Qing was still terrified of this qi deviation.

“The best way is to have an experienced master give you more guidance and usually check whether your cultivation progress and foundation are solid.” Leng Yuewu spoke with special gravity on this matter. “Skyscrapers are built from the ground up; a solid foundation is the most important thing. If you blindly pursue rapid promotion, your foundation will easily become unstable. Mildly, your cultivation will stop progressing; severely, you will suffer qi deviation, and all your cultivation will be wasted. Luckily, I encountered you this time, helped you out, corrected your foundation, and drove out some hidden dangers. Within a few days, you will have the chance to step into Mid-stage Silver without any side effects.”

Don’t let Leng Yuewu’s words sound light, but eliminating the hidden dangers of Lei Qing’s rough foundation had cost her a lot of vital energy. Vital energy was not Fighting Qi, but the aggregate of a person’s essence, energy, and spirit. For at least several months, her cultivation strength would drop by one or two levels.

Hearing Leng Yuewu’s words, Lei Qing felt both happy and surprised. The happy part was that this crisis was resolved, but what about the next time? If he didn’t have a teacher to consult frequently, it wouldn’t be a long-term solution.

“Wu’er, why don’t you stay in the Alliance for a few more days? Firstly, I can consult you more, and secondly, we can have more chances to be together.” Lei Qing had a lewd smile on his face.

Leng Yuewu’s pretty face blushed slightly. She lowered her voice and spat, “I’m afraid you have other intentions, right? Speaking of this, I am actually a bit strange. Some days ago, when I passed by the Great Snow Mountain, I visited the Spear Saint and asked him to take you as his disciple. He agreed immediately at the time. Why is there still no news until now?”
