Novel Full Chapter 778: One or two rooms
The moment that he started absorbing the Clear Water Hyacinth, Lin Fan could feel the flow of energy entering the Clear Water Bead.
At the same time, he could feel that there was a change coming from the Clear Water Bead.
It was as if the Clear Water Bead itself was changing.
It wasn’t a bad change, but it was certainly a strange feeling having this Clear Water Bead change inside of his dantian, which made Lin Fan knit his brows.
When Ye Qing Huan saw this, she came forward to ask, “Are you alright? Is there a problem absorbing it?”
Lin Fan had been lost in absorbing the Clear Water Hyacinth when he heard this, so he didn’t process it.
Seeing this, Ye Qing Huan came forward to grab him by the shoulder which pulled him out of his focused state.
When Lin Fan opened his eyes, he found Ye Qing Huan’s face right in front of his.
She had moved so quickly that the hood had fallen off her head and her face was revealed.
There was a concerned look on her face as she looked at him and asked, “Are you alright?”
Lin Fan was caught off guard by this sudden question from her, but he just gave a nod as he said, “I’m fine, there’s no problem. It’s just a strange feeling that I’m not used to.”
Ye Qing Huan still had the worried look on her face, but she let go of his shoulder and moved back to give him space so that he could keep absorbing it. However, she didn’t move too far away so that she could act if anything happened.
Lin Fan was very confused when he saw her acting like this since he didn’t think that she would be this worried about him.
Even if she admired him, it didn’t make sense that she would be this worried about him…
The way that she was acting was almost as if she was his lover…
He definitely couldn’t have afforded that, especially with the status that she had.
So instead of thinking too much about it, Lin Fan focused on absorbing the Clear Water Hyacinth.
After a few minutes, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Qing Huan was worried again when she saw this, but he raised his hand and said, “It’s fine, it’s just a bit of black blood.”
Ye Qing Huan slightly knitted her brows when she heard this before looking down at the blood that he spat out. When she looked closely, she found that he was right, it was nothing more than black blood filled with impurities.
It wouldn’t be good for him to keep that in his body, so it was better that he spat it out.
After that, she could feel the influx of spiritual energy coming from Lin Fan.
It seemed that he was breaking through after absorbing the Clear Water Hyacinth, but that wasn’t something that was unexpected. After all, the spiritual energy contained within the Clear Water Hyacinth was strong enough to create those spiritual energy waves earlier. Find adventures at M-V-L
Rather, it would have been strange if he didn’t break through after absorbing it.
So Ye Qing Huan didn’t say anything as she just went to the entrance of the cave and stood guard for him.
When it was over, Lin Fan stood up and clenched his hands to adjust to the new power that he gained before moving over to Ye Qing Huan to say, “Thank you.”
Ye Qing Huan just smiled at him without saying a thing.
A beautiful scene that seemed to blow Lin Fan away.
Since the Clear Water Hyacinth was gone, there was no reason for them to remain here any longer.
But before they left, Lin Fan couldn’t help asking, “What will happen to the stream now?”
Ye Qing Huan looked at the pool in the center of this cave before turning to Lin Fan with a teasing smile to say, “Are you worried about the mortals?”
Lin Fan gave a cough to hide his awkwardness before saying, “It’ll be strange if the stream suddenly disappears or becomes cloudy, someone will notice something and come looking for this place.”
Ye Qing Huan gave a nod of acknowledgement before saying, “I’ve already planted the seed of the Clear Water Hyacinth in the same place. While it won’t be as effective, the purified water that is already there should last long enough for it to grow and replace the one that we took. No one should notice a thing.”
Then giving a wink, she said, “I’m not one to kill the goose that lays golden eggs after all.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help being a bit taken aback when he saw this.
Cute…
That was what he thought when he saw Ye Qing Huan winking at him…
He had never seen this side of her, so he couldn’t help being caught off guard when he was shown this side of her point blank.
After taking some time to come back to his senses, Lin Fan said, “Let’s head back to the town then.”
Ye Qing Huan just simply nodded in agreement.
Though she had said that it was because of her personal benefit that she did this, Lin Fan could tell that this wasn’t the full story. If she really cared only about her personal benefit, it was much easier to bring the seed away and grow the Clear Water Hyacinth.
After all, it was better to control the place where it was grown rather than growing it out in the middle of nowhere.
So in an indirect way, this was Ye Qing Huan’s way of helping the mortals.
This might be seen as a kind of weakness in this cultivation world, but for Lin Fan who wasn’t from the cultivation world in the first place…it wasn’t as if he didn’t like this. It actually made him feel even better about Ye Qing Huan.
She was at least different from the rest of those from the Five Great Sects.
As they were heading back to town, Lin Fan couldn’t help remembering something and asking, “What about the ghosts on the river? What did you put those there for?”
Ye Qing Huan was surprised and a bit confused by this question at first, but then she realized what he was talking about.
Instead of answering his question right away, she raised her hand to wave it in the air.
Lin Fan could feel the faint traces of spiritual energy coming from her as she did this, as if she was controlling something with this wave of her hand.
When it was over, Ye Qing Huan looked at him and said, “Right, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about the wraiths that I raised.”
“Wraiths?” Lin Fan asked in a confused voice.
Ye Qing Huan gave a nod before raising her hand again.
With a wave of her hand, a ghost that was the same as the ones that had been floating on the stream appeared in front of her.
Lin Fan was surprised to see the appearance of this ghost thing, but he could also see that it wasn’t planning on doing anything. With the way that it was floating there, it seemed like it was completely under Ye Qing Huan’s control.
So Lin Fan took this chance to take a closer look at this ghost.
It didn’t really have a form, but he could feel the yin energy coming from it.
Just by being near it, he could feel the temperature in the air drop by a bit.
Even though it didn’t seem like it, he could guess that the combat abilities of these wraiths weren’t that low.
It seemed that Ye Qing Huan really was filled with all kinds of tricks…
After looking at them for a bit, he still asked, “What did you have these wraiths guard the stream for?”
Ye Qing Huan had a proud look on her face when she saw the way that Lin Fan looked at her wraith as if she was enjoying the attention that he gave her. But she still answered his question when he asked it.
“It’s to catch any of the petals of the flower just in case. I didn’t want anyone finding out about it after all…”
Then after a pause, she said, “But you still somehow managed to find out about that cave…It really makes me wonder what kind of things you’re capable of.”
After saying this, Ye Qing Huan narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this and awkwardly turned away.
In the end, Ye Qing Huan just dropped this matter and said, “Come on, let’s go back into the town before we attract more attention.”
She knew that everyone had their own secrets, so she didn’t force him to reveal his.
With the secret way that Ye Qing Huan used, they were able to sneak back into the town without a problem.
Though it would be a problem for Lin Fan to sneak back into his room with how late it was and with how Ye Qing Huan was with him.
Ye Qing Huan seemed to have misunderstood this, so she said, “Let’s go and find a place to stay for now.”
She thought that he didn’t have a room, which was why she offered to find one with him.
But when they went to the inn, the innkeeper suddenly asked them, “Will that be one room or two?”
The moment that the innkeeper said this, he immediately regretted it since there was a pressure that came from Ye Qing Huan.
