Chapter 89: The Cat Who Repays the Kindness Possesses Him Again
After completing his mission, Qi Tian did not say goodbye to Ning Rongrong.
Anyway, Qi Tian could use the reward from this mission, "Divine Descent," to possess Ning Rongrong again, so he just explained a few things to her.
At midnight, Qi Tian's divided soul returned, and a massive amount of soul power continuously flowed into Qi Tian's body.
His soul power began to break through.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was nestled in his arms, was startled awake and stared wide-eyed at Qi Tian, who was breaking through to the next level.
"Has Qi Tian broken through again?" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.
She had always thought she was a genius, but after seeing Qi Tian's cultivation speed, she realized she was nothing special.
Although they are the same age, Qi Tian is already at level 36, while she is only at level 25.
"No, I must work twice as hard to catch up with him and change the fate of the Zhu family!" Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.
She hadn't forgotten that five years later, in the battle for the throne of the Star Luo royal family, if Dai Weisi won, he might send people to hunt her down.
If she is not strong enough then, she won't be able to protect herself, and she'll also drag Qi Tian down with her.
At that moment, Qi Tian's soul power broke through again, from level thirty-six to level thirty-seven.
"This? Breaking through two levels in one go?" Zhu Zhuqing dared not move rashly, for fear of disturbing Qi Tian's cultivation.
But gradually, Zhu Zhuqing became somewhat numb, because Qi Tian's soul power broke through again, and he only calmed down after breaking through to level 40.
Just then, she suddenly smelled a pleasant scent—the rich fragrance of tulips.
The smell was actually coming from Qi Tian.
Qi Tian awoke from his state of regulating his soul power. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing looking at him in surprise, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, originally wanting to ask Qi Tian how he managed to break through five levels of soul power overnight.
But then, realizing this might be Qi Tian's secret, she changed her words, saying, "You smell so good!"
Zhu Zhuqing buried her face in Qi Tian's arms, inhaling his scent.
Qi Tian then noticed that he was actually smelling of tulips.
This is because Ning Rongrong absorbed the Beautiful Silk Tulip, and her soul power was infused with it; naturally, the soul power rewarded by the system was the same.
Qi Tian frowned. This was not a good sign; a scent could reveal a person's location!
He tried to mask the smell with the vortex of ice and fire soul power within his body, and soon the smell on his body became fainter and fainter.
This is supposedly a miniature Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eye that can eradicate all poisons; mere floral fragrance can easily be masked.
Qi Tian breathed a sigh of relief before saying to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, I just ate an Immortal Herb, which is why my soul power has increased so quickly."
"I have another Immortal Herb that I can give you, which will allow you to increase your soul power by at least six or seven levels!" Qi Tian said.
"For me?" Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Qi Tian, deeply moved.
She was already very satisfied that Qi Tian was honest with her, but Qi Tian actually wanted to give her this heaven-defying herb.
"Indeed, this Immortal Herb was originally prepared for you!" Qi Tian said.
Zhu Zhuqing was deeply moved, but she didn't know how to express her gratitude.
She suddenly remembered the scenes in her dream, and thought that Qi Tian seemed to really like her body.
Having no way to repay him, she could only offer herself!
"Thank you, Qi Tian!" Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Sigh, where did the fragrance go?"
Zhu Zhuqing sniffed, somewhat puzzled, as she could clearly still smell it just now.
She burrowed deeper into the blankets, trying to find the source of the fragrance.
"Hmm?" Qi Tian's spirits lifted.
Zhu Zhuqing actually found a cat toy and started playing with it.
However, her movements were clumsy, like an inexperienced kitten.
Qi Tian could only provide guidance, teaching the kitten how to play with the cat toy, how to scratch it with its paws, and how to bite it with its mouth.
Half an hour later, the kitten caught the cat toy.
Qi Tian could no longer suppress it, and the scent of tulips burst forth, which was swallowed by the little cat Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, you..." Qi Tian was interrupted by Zhu Zhuqing before he could finish speaking.
Her face was flushed, unlike her usual aloof demeanor; she was so shy she almost didn't dare to see anyone.
Zhu Zhuqing buried her face in Qi Tian's chest and said, "Stop talking, go to sleep, we still have to cultivate tomorrow!"
Qi Tian sighed, then embraced Zhu Zhuqing and fell asleep contentedly.
...
The next morning, Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing got out of bed feeling refreshed.
Qi Tian wanted to try out the system's reward—[Divine Descent].
The descent of a deity, as the name suggests, means that a deity descends to earth by possessing one's own retinue.
"Zhuqing, I'm going to use my possession skill on you later, so don't resist me!" Qi Tian said.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "Okay!"
She now considers herself Qi Tian's person. Although the two haven't taken the final step yet, their relationship is as intimate as that of lovers.
Qi Tian used the Divine Descent skill granted by the system and selected Zhu Zhuqing as his target.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing sensed the intrusion of Qi Tian's divided soul. Without hesitation, she opened her mind.
Qi Tian's divided soul entered and, after half a year, possessed Zhu Zhuqing again.
However, unlike last time, he did not receive any reward notifications from the system.
In other words, now that he is cultivating using Zhu Zhuqing's body, there will be no more soul power feeding back to him.
If Zhu Zhuqing consumes the Immortal Herb, her soul power will not be copied by the system.
"It seems there are other uses as well!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
Qi Tian discovered that he could actually relinquish control of Zhu Zhuqing's body and simply possess her, just like her current state.
He took out an Immortal Herb from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
This Immortal Herb has a white, crystalline appearance, resembling a pure and flawless lotus root, truly embodying the essence of narcissus.
"Is this the Immortal Herb you mentioned?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Qi Tian nodded and said, "That's right. This Immortal Herb is called Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, which can nourish tendons and bones and unblock the eight extraordinary meridians."
After the introduction, Qi Tian held the Narcissus Jade Bone in his hands, ate the petals, gently sucked on the stamens, and activated his soul power to circulate the medicinal power.
He threw the roots of the Narcissus Jade Bone back into the small world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
Before long, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power began to fluctuate, and her soul power rose steadily.
Level 25, level 26... In no time, it broke through to level 30, and then returned to calm.
There is also a lot of soul power stored in her body as a foundation. As long as she absorbs the soul ring, she can break through several levels again.
When Zhu Zhuqing was circulating the medicinal power, her meridians were opened up by the soul power, and even many of her eight extraordinary meridians were opened up.
Her skin, under the influence of these medicines, became as smooth and white as white jade lotus root, no less beautiful than Ning Rongrong's skin.
Qi Tian quietly enjoyed the nourishment that the soul power provided to his soul, feeling that he should be able to gain some spiritual power cultivation.
