How to Be the Perfect Junior Sister to a Reborn Villain - Chapter 14.2
“Water nourishes Wood, and together they give life to all things.”
Li Xi silently recited the mantra in her heart.
The intertwined power of Water and Wood merged within her body, guided by the moonlight, transforming into a gentle yet potent energy that flowed through her meridians, steadily nurturing every part of her.
As the energy circulated and refined her from within, Li Xi’s body began to change.
Her skin grew smoother and more delicate, her very presence took on an ethereal, otherworldly grace.
She could feel her life force flourishing her senses sharpened, her awareness expanding far beyond her usual reach.
Her consciousness felt as light as drifting clouds. Before she realized it, she was “floating.”
Her spirit drifted out into the courtyard, where she saw her Third Senior Brother standing by the window, gazing silently at the moon.
His features were sharp and cold, his brow faintly furrowed as if weighed by unspoken thoughts.
Playfully, she reached out, wanting to smooth away that little crease but at that moment, he seemed to sense something. His head turned slightly, and his gaze swept right toward her.
Li Xi’s spirit startled and darted back, her consciousness expanding outward like ripples on water, spreading farther and farther.
The night was peaceful and vast, stars scattered across the deep sky, the moon shining full and clear. She saw frogs hunting in the fields, small birds resting quietly among the trees.
She was completely immersed in the silvery glow of moonlight, an indescribable comfort seeping into her bones, warm, soothing, utterly serene.
It felt as if her soul had stepped into another world, mystical, vibrant, and filled with life.
Endless streams of spiritual energy and moonlight poured into her body.
One by one, her acupuncture points opened her meridians widened, and the spiritual vortex within her dantian swelled stronger with every pulse.
There should have been pain with such a transformation, but she felt none. Her soul was entirely absorbed in the profound inheritance unfolding before her eyes.
A graceful immortal woman appeared her figure light and fluid as a startled swan. With a flick of her wrist, her long sword danced, slashing, thrusting, parrying silver arcs of swordlight slicing through the air like crescents of the moon, dazzlingly beautiful yet laced with deadly intent.
By the alchemy furnace, slender white fingers wove intricate seals, the air filling with the rich fragrance of spirit herbs and elixirs.
Time seemed to slow. Every minute motion of those hands, every subtle shift in energy, imprinted itself deeply into Li Xi’s consciousness.
Her own fingers began to move instinctively, mimicking the immortal’s gestures. When the pill was finally collected from the furnace, Li Xi felt as though she had just refined it herself.
Healing arts, purification spells. She followed every movement with reverent precision, engraving each technique into the very depths of her soul.
Meanwhile, Yan Jiuzhi sensed the sudden surge of energy and swiftly activated a formation to seal off the area.
The commotion his little junior sister was causing was unbelievable. The moonlight was cascading onto her like a silver waterfall, and the spiritual energy around her had condensed into a shimmering cocoon.
Elder Gao and Lin Shanlai hurried over, their faces pale with disbelief.
Where in this poor little sect could that much spiritual energy possibly come from.
Tracing the flow of energy, Yan Jiuzhi discovered that the osmanthus tree in the courtyard was anything but ordinary. Spiritual energy was pouring from it in waves flowing straight into Li Xi.
So that’s it. Our little junior sister really is a lucky star.
The “secret” they’d been searching for months was right here under their noses.
After a brief discussion with their master and Elder Gao, Yan Jiuzhi decided.
Once Li Xi’s meditation ended, they would begin excavation immediately.
