Boarding Life

Qin Qi's words, full of deep emotion, made it hard to tell truth from lies.

Such a profound confession.

Zuo Qingyue was originally a person from a righteous sect, and the trace of coldness she managed to gather was instantly disintegrated into smoke in the face of this sincerity!

Her blush was no longer concealable, and after stammering for a long while, she was like a deflated balloon.

Entirely lost her earlier indifferent demeanor, voice lowered significantly, "So… what exactly are you here for today?"

Qin Qi watched Zuo Qingyue's emotional changes intently and felt relieved when she did not explode.

He knew he had bet correctly.

Zuo Qingyue clearly couldn't resist his sincerity.

"As long as a woman does not refuse, it means you can push your luck, get away with your cheekiness!" Qin Qi pondered secretly.

But he did not forget the real reason.

Since Zuo Qingyue mentioned it, he also got to the point, "I came today to ask for your help, Miss Zuo!"

Zuo Qingyue listened and responded warmly, "Previously, I promised to fulfill three conditions for you. There is one left now. If you need my help, as long as it's not something deeply immoral, I will do what I can!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi showed his joy.

Then he replied, "It's like this: I've been practicing a secret art which requires an adept, far stronger than myself, to assist my cultivation through true qi transmission to achieve success. Naturally, I thought of you, Miss Zuo."

Zuo Qingyue raised her brows, "Cultivation through true qi transmission? Are you trying to expand your qi sea Dantian? Such demanding requirements, apart from a few priceless ancient scripts, ordinary secret arts do not have such demands!"

Qin Qi, hearing the words 'priceless,' raised his brows.

However, he did not dwell on this topic for long and simply said, "I don't know what kind of secret art it is, just that I came across it by chance!"

Zuo Qingyue, ever righteous, did not pry further but just said, "Indeed, my capability is far superior to yours. However, I can't be certain if I can meet your secret art's transmission requirements!"

"I can try, but I can't guarantee success!"

Upon hearing Zuo Qingyue agree, Qin Qi naturally was overjoyed.

There's now hope for cultivating the second layer of the Source Celestial Scripture.

"Truly, thank you so much!" Qin Qi was delighted.

Zuo Qingyue didn't know why.

Clearly, just the simple word 'thanks' made her ears blush as she heard it.

She hastily redirected the conversation, "Sit on my stone bed, turn your back to me, and I'll transmit true qi into you. However, considering the male-female difference, my true qi is yin. If transmitted too much into you, it might cause discomfort in your body. Be prepared!"

Qin Qi nodded, "Miss Zuo, just go ahead and do it!"

The cultivation of the Source Celestial Scripture is inherently challenging; if true qi transmission were so smooth, he would find it odd.

He immediately seated himself by the stone bed.

And Zuo Qingyue also leaped gracefully, landing on the stone bed airy-like.

She sat cross-legged, poised and elegant.

Soon, she turned her right hand into a finger shape.

A surge of intense true qi immediately shot towards Qin Qi's back!

Qin Qi only felt a refreshing and icy true qi instantly spreading through his body.

This true qi was distinctly different—his true qi was fierce and aggressive, while this one was graceful and yin, entering his body only to immediately become disruptive.

This startled Qin Qi.

Initially somewhat panicked.

But after this true qi rampaged for a while, Qin Qi's eyes suddenly shifted to joy.

"The qi sea Dantian actually shows signs of expansion!"

It really works!

Naturally, Qin Qi was very pleased in his heart.

And Zuo Qingyue, similarly, had a touch of surprise in her bright eyes.

"This guy's yang qi is so abundant, even though he is just at true qi stage one, accepting so much true qi from me yet remaining unharmed?"

This made her cheeks flush slightly red.

Her master had once told her.

An adept partner with plentiful yang qi can greatly assist one's cultivation!

And Qin Qi evidently fit the criteria her master mentioned.

"I've infused a lot of true qi into you; if you can't hold it, tell me!" Zuo Qingyue spoke with some concern.

Qin Qi closed his eyes, feeling the changes within, and replied, "Mm, I, I can still take it!"

Just as his mind was focused.

The mysterious woman suddenly spoke, "Qin Qi, have her infuse more true qi into you!"

Startled by the mysterious woman's words, Qin Qi said, "Damn, you've got guts, speaking while Zuo Qingyue is around?"

"No worries; right now, she's fully engaged in transmitting true qi to you, she won't notice me!" The mysterious woman laughed light-heartedly.

Confused, Qin Qi asked, "What do you mean by having her infuse more true qi?"

The mysterious woman chuckled mischievously, "The more true qi she infuses, the weaker her defenses naturally become. This way, I naturally have a greater chance to probe her secrets!"

Listening to her, Qin Qi felt somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, Zuo Qingyue was helping him sincerely.

And she held such righteousness; doing this felt a bit like plotting against her.

But just as he was about to speak.

The mysterious woman gently revealed, "Oh, never mind. Hehe, this little girl has infused enough true qi, I can try probing now!"

Upon finishing, she stopped speaking, intent on uncovering Zuo Qingyue's secrets.

And Qin Qi, in the meantime, sensed the changes in his qi sea Dantian.

"Obvious signs of expansion, but still lacking to fully expand." Qin Qi breathed lightly, "Expanding the qi sea Dantian is really tough!"

"Zuo Qingyue's true qi transmission is also becoming thinner, likely near its limit. It seems a single transmission is clearly insufficient for cultivation—it requires more attempts!"

Just as his thoughts concluded.

Suddenly, an icy sensation rushed throughout his body.

"What's going on?"

Qin Qi widened his eyes, "So, so cold!"

Zuo Qingyue also noticed Qin Qi's temperature, "Are you alright?"

"So cold, my body feels like it's freezing!" Qin Qi responded truthfully, gritting his teeth.

Zuo Qingyue furrowed her bright eyes, "Not good, you've absorbed too much of my true qi. My strength far exceeds yours; my true qi ravaging within you has led to a yin-yang imbalance!"

Qin Qi suddenly collapsed on the ground, trembling slightly as he said, "Miss Zuo, I'm so cold, can you hold me…"
