Chapter 1125: I Love You More
Last time, Murong Fei's talent and speed in martial arts had already shocked Qin Tian. This time, Qin Tian remains astonished.
Anyhow, Qin Tian has discovered two people whose martial arts speed seems even faster than his, one is Murong Fei, and the other is naturally Liu Fei'er.
Due to this, Qin Tian became interested in the background of Murong Fei and Liu Fei'er.
What kind of background or lineage allows these two, who barely practiced martial arts before, especially Liu Fei'er, who never practiced at all, to display such talent?
Qin Tian has some vague guesses about Liu Fei'er's background, definitely related to lineage and quite mysterious.
But Murong Fei...
Last time Qin Tian asked Cao Taiji if Murong Fei was Murong Bei's biological granddaughter?
From Cao Taiji's answer, Murong Fei is certainly not Murong Bei's biological granddaughter. Was she adopted by Murong Bei or entrusted to his care? Qin Tian really has no clue about Murong Fei's background.
"Hey, what are you doing, standing there daydreaming?"
Murong Fei saw Qin Tian staring at her blankly and rolled her eyes at him. Then, her gaze locked onto Qin Tian, and she couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably: "Hehe, what's with your outfit, what are you trying to be, a farmer?"
Qin Tian was speechless: "You don't say, on my way back, people really mistook me for a farmer, and I got discriminated against and humiliated."
"Hehe, with your temper, someone dares to discriminate against and humiliate you?"
"Of course, they paid a painful price."
"Then why did you bring this back, huh, what's inside?"
Murong Fei's gaze fell on the withered spiritual flowers and grass in Qin Tian's basket. Her eyebrows relaxed, and her eyes filled with curiosity as she walked over, observing the spiritual flowers and grass in the basket...
"These dry herbs seem so strange... you brought them all the way back from Southeast Asia, they mustn't be ordinary, right?"
Curiously, Murong Fei picked a stalk of dry grass from the basket, smelled it closely, and sensed a peculiar aroma.
"What do you think? Do you believe this is ordinary wild grass?" Qin Tian countered.
"If it's just ordinary wild grass, bringing it back from Southeast Asia, you'd be crazy."
Murong Fei smiled at Qin Tian, then grabbed a handful of spirit grass and smelled it again.
This time, she concentrated, and her brow furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong? Does it smell bad?"
Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei, knowing she probably caught the scent of the spiritual energy emitted by the grass.
In reality, spiritual energy is colorless and odorless, but if you concentrate, you can perceive a peculiar energy field.
"It's not a bad smell, it's just that... this feeling... it's so familiar..."
Murong Fei opened her eyes and said something meaningful to Qin Tian.
So familiar? Could it be that Murong Fei has been sensitive to spiritual energy since childhood?
Qin Tian was surprised, but before he could think further, Murong Fei asked, "What are these, are they herbs for your cultivation?"
Qin Tian wasn't planning to hide his cultivation practice from Murong Fei, as she should now be aware of this cultivation process.
"These aren't just any herbs, they're spirit grasses, invaluable to someone at my cultivation stage. Even if you offer a billion, I wouldn't sell you a single stalk."
Qin Tian glanced at the spirit grass in the basket with confidence.
"I can see you really love these things. Not afraid of being discriminated against and humiliated, you carried the basket all the way back on the plane, showing how much you value them, you couldn't even bear to check them in..."
Murong Fei nodded, "I believe these things are important to you."
"Yes, these things are important to every martial artist. They are for you too, Murong. These spiritual flowers and grasses can release a lot of spiritual energy, which is crucial for you at this stage to develop your dan tian qi sea and build a foundation for future cultivation."
"Hmm?"
Qin Tian's words left Murong Fei puzzled, not knowing what he meant.
Murong Fei gazed at Qin Tian, who smiled gently, then grabbed a handful of spirit grass from the basket and handed it to Murong Fei: "These should be boiled into medicine and consumed with water. Don't leave any dregs. Use only three stalks of spirit grass each time. If you persist for a month, I believe you will make significant progress in your cultivation."
"For me?"
Seeing Qin Tian handing over the beloved spirit grass, Murong Fei was taken aback, a bit astonished: "These things are so precious to you, you love them so much..."
"I love you more."
Before Murong Fei could finish, Qin Tian softly interrupted.
Murong Fei was stunned, looking up at Qin Tian.
The two exchanged glances, and Murong Fei bit her lower lip, her eyes shimmering.
Silence.
For over ten seconds, they remained silent.
Qin Tian moved closer, holding her, and said, "Murong, you are my woman. No matter how valuable these spiritual flowers and grasses are, they can't compare to you, even if they're worth billions or trillions."
This statement was more like a confession, and Murong Fei couldn't hold back anymore. She took a deep breath, tears streaming down her face...
She embraced Qin Tian with her arms, speaking softly: "Qin Tian, I know you care for me, and I love you too... Now, I want to cultivate well. I want to become stronger, to be worthy of you..."
"You've never been unworthy of me."
Qin Tian cupped Murong Fei's face, gazing at her affectionately, and gave her a tender kiss.
"Since you want to practice martial arts, I will do my best to support your cultivation. Let's go, I'll take a shower first, then we can go out for dinner. I'll tell you how to brew and refine medicine and how to continue cultivating the 'Sunflower Secret Manual.'
Qin Tian set down the basket and headed towards the bedroom.
Murong Fei, feeling joyous like a little girl, wiped her tears as she watched Qin Tian's retreating figure, her face beaming with happiness.
In the evening, they had dinner at a nearby barbecue restaurant, during which Qin Tian explained the steps and precautions for alchemy and brewing medicine to Murong Fei.
Of course, the alchemy methods he taught her weren't those requiring high-level cultivation as in the 'Alchemy Manual.' They were the old "earth methods" Qin Tian often used to strengthen the body.
After dinner, they took a stroll in the park near their villa before returning home.
Qin Tian rested while Murong Fei went to her room to continue cultivating.
Knock, knock, knock!
Early the next morning, Murong Fei knocked on Qin Tian's bedroom door.
"Qin Tian, are you awake? Get up, there's trouble!"
