In the room, Li Ran looked at the two steaming bathtubs in front of him and pinched his chin as he fell into deep thought.
“So… how should I take this bath?”
Qin Ruyan blushed slightly as she explained, “This servant asked the waiter to bring the water up. He saw that there were two of us, so he directly sent two barrels up.”
Li Ran couldn’t help scratching his head.
The two of them couldn’t wash together face to face, right?
Ahem! He cleared his throat and said, “Then Holy Maiden Qin should wash first. I’ll go out for a walk. I’ll have someone boil some water later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
“Actually, there’s no need for that.” Qin Ruyan hesitated.
With a wave of her hand, a light pink curtain appeared out of thin air, blocking between the two bathtubs, separating them.
Qin Ruyan said with a smile, “Isn’t that enough?”
He never thought that she would still have this kind of thing on her.
However, Li Ran carried even the bed and tables and chairs with him. This seemed to be quite normal.
Qin Ruyan walked over to the curtain and said softly, “Please, Sheng Zi Li.”
Just as Li Ran was about to speak, he was stunned.
The light pink curtain was extremely thin and light. Coupled with the sunlight outside the window, Qin Ruyan’s silhouette was reflected on it.
Qin Ruyan’s graceful figure slightly accelerated his heartbeat.
Li Ran forcefully resisted the urge to use the ‘Disillusioned Eye’ and swallowed his saliva. “She really is a demoness. She’s too bold!”
“She doesn’t even care. What’s there to be pretentious about?”
He changed his clothes and walked straight into the bathtub.
The water was very clear, and the temperature was suitable. It was as if exhaustion had been taken away. He couldn’t help but sigh in comfort.
On the other side of the curtain, Qin Ruyan hid in the bathtub and only revealed her head.
It was unknown if it was because of the steaming heat, but her beautiful face was flushed red.
Her eyes were filled with panic and shyness.
She bit her lips and whispered, “I really am crazy…”
Li Ran sat comfortably in the bucket.
His spirit sense sank into his sea of consciousness.
His sea of consciousness was still a bit empty, and his soulforce had yet to fully recover.
The consumption of forbidden reincarnation was too great.
This divine ability was quite special. Once used, it would drain all of Li Ran’s soulforce. However, Li Ran’s soulforce was too large, so it would take a long time for him to fully recover.
Even after consuming the Soul Recovery Pill, it had only recovered about fifty percent.
After all, that was an elder at the peak of the tribulation. A top-grade medicinal pill refined with Immortal Material Worry-Free Grass was still unable to completely recover his spirit energy.
The amount of consumption was obvious.
However, the corresponding power was truly astonishing.
Xie Longju was half-step in the Heavenly Tribulation, and he’d already touched the secret of his soul. His soul could be said to be extremely tough.
However, he was unable to resist this move.
If it wasn’t for Li Ran trying to absorb his soulforce and suppress the power of his divine ability, he would have been able to annihilate his opponent’s soul with a single strike.
“Clearly, this isn’t the limit. Even a mid-stage Heavenly Tribulation cultivator wouldn’ t be able to block this attack.” Li Ran pondered inwardly.
Killing people across two realms, this was truly shocking.
This divine ability could be considered his trump card and could not be used easily. If he failed to hit them, he would fall into a passive position.
“The power is very strong, but the recovery period is too difficult.” Li Ran suddenly thought of something.
“The Heart Clearing Curse seems to be able to stabilize the soul and restore the effect of soul power.” In order to save Lin Langyue, Yi Qinglan had taught him this technique.
However, Li Ran was too lazy and had never taken the initiative to cultivate.
“Let’s try it now.” He sat cross-legged, circulating the incantation in his mind.
His body was as light as a feather, floating on the surface of the water.
“All ten areas of space have perished, returning to Nirvana.
“You can’t be tempted to think about it when you’re in the One Spirit Only Glory realm. You’ve only just thought about it, and you’ve already completed the remaining technique…”
As the Dao technique circulated, a white halo gradually lit up.
Spirit energy surged in his meridians and circulated slowly according to the mental route. Finally, it gathered in his dantian.
The little person in his dantian lit up with light spots and marked out acupuncture points, which were coincidentally the same as the mental path.
After some time, the light in his sea of consciousness shone brightly, as if the sun was shining on the tips of his purple palace.
Li Ran felt as if his mind was clear. The sky was shining with light, and the clouds were hovering in the air. His soulforce was rapidly recovering.
If Yi Qinglan saw this scene, she would be shocked.
He didn’t cultivate forgetting emotions, but he was able to cultivate the Tianshu Institute’s mental techniques?
This completely overturned her understanding!
On the other side, Qin Ruyan also sensed movement.
Through the curtain, one could see the rays of light emanating a peaceful and holy aura.
She could not help but pull open the curtain and quietly look.
In the end, the scene before her eyes caused her face to instantly turn red.
Li Ran sat cross-legged in the water, his muscles clearly visible. His body was shrouded in white light, as if he was about to ascend to immortality in the next second.
It was simply a completely different person from the devilish flames from before.
Her face was burning hot, and she wanted to move her eyes away, but her body did not listen.
An hour later, Li Ran stopped using his cultivation technique.
The white light on his body dissipated and slowly fell into the water.
Opening his eyes, a white light flashed.
After sensing the boundless soul power in his sea of consciousness, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
“The Tianshu Institute is worthy of being a top-tier sect. The recovery speed of this mental technique is almost equal to that of the Soul Restoration Pill!”
The superimposition of the two effects brought his soulforce back to its peak!
Within Li Ran’s sea of consciousness, it was clear as he relaxed his muscles and bones.
Just as he turned his head, he bumped into Qin Ruyan.
He lifted the curtain and revealed a small head. Her phoenix eyes were wide open.
The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became quiet.
“Holy Maiden Qin, what are you doing?”
Cough, cough. Qin Ruyan cleared her throat and said,” This servant sensed the commotion and was worried that Sheng Zi Li was in danger. That’s why I opened the curtain to investigate. You must not misunderstand.”
Li Ran was amused. “Dangerous? Are you worried that I will drown?”
“……” Qin Ruyan’s face was filled with embarrassment. “Sheng Zi Li really knows how to joke. Haha…”
At this moment, Li Ran shrugged his nose and asked curiously, “Where does the fragrance come from?”
The air was suffused with a faint fragrance.
The fragrance was refreshing, dense but not thick. It was like cream mixed with honey. The entire room was filled with sweet silk.
“Fragrance?” Qin Ruyan thought of something and her ears turned red. She pretended to be calm and said, “It should be my fragrance, right?”
Li Ran scratched his head. “But I’ve never smelled it before.”
“This servant has so much cosmetic powder, how could Sheng Zi Li have even smelled it?”
“That’s true.”
Qin Ruyan put down the curtain and buried herself in the water. Her face turned red as if she had a fever.
That wasn’t the fragrance of cosmetics. It was obvious that her physique was special and would emit a fragrance at some point.
Her eyes sparkled as she muttered to herself, “Qin Ruyan, you really are crazy!”
