Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Zi Ran’s Figure Recovers, Gu Qingcheng Gives a Gift! (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

As soon as that cup of blood slid down her throat, all the countless cells inside Ziran’s body seemed crazed, irresistibly enticed, surging wildly as powerful suction pulled all the energy and mysterious factors from the blood dry.

In that instant, Ziran felt a rush of pleasure all over her body.

In a matter of milliseconds, the blood she drank was completely absorbed.

"Damn, this is ridiculously good!" Ziran was shocked.

"Is this really just blood? Even top-tier treasures can’t compare!"

Then, she stared hard at Xiao Ye, swallowed nervously, and said, "Xiao Ye, um, I want more."

Xiao Ye shook his head, "No, you can only have one cup a day."

"Of course, after you upgrade your template, drinking it might not work anymore, so I’ll do my best to get your figure back to peak before you upgrade."

"Alright, lie down, I’m going to start the massage."

Ziran pouted, "Whatever, if you won’t give me more, forget it."

Then, she did exactly as Xiao Ye instructed.

During the massage,

Ziran recalled what Xiao Ye had said back in the Secret Realm and asked, "Xiao Ye, did you say Qingcheng’s template has a big problem?"

Xiao Ye kept massaging with the ancient secret technique as he replied,

"Yeah, compared to your template, hers is even worse."

"With the slightest mistake, her divine soul could totally get wiped out."

Ziran’s face suddenly changed, "It’s that serious?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "That’s right, right now her realm is stuck at Great Perfection of the Saint Realm, completely unable to move forward even a little."

"But that’s just the most obvious part of it."

"The deeper crisis is that she could literally die from her body exploding and her divine soul shattering."

Ziran’s face looked grim, "Back when I broke into the Saint Realm, I almost went out from my Rule Power running wild too—nearly blew myself up."

"If Qingcheng breaks through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, her template might get even more unstable. She could seriously face a life-or-death situation."

"Xiao Ye, do you have a way to help her?"

Xiao Ye’s eyes darted around thoughtfully, and he said, "Sure."

"As long as it’s a template issue, I can handle it."

"If your bestie doesn’t mind, I can give her a massage and help correct the flaws in her body."

Ziran gave him a resentful look, "Can’t you just fix Qingcheng’s template directly? Or do you just want her to get naked for a free show?"

Xiao Ye responded solemnly, "Of course not."

"Template problems are really complicated. I have to figure it out through a massage before I can solve it."

Ziran sighed, looking helpless, "Alright, fine."

She believed him, figuring Xiao Ye wouldn’t lie to her.

"But Qingcheng probably couldn’t stand being totally exposed in front of you."

"So what are we supposed to do?" *Ziran fretted a little.*

Xiao Ye shrugged, "No worries, right now, Sister Qingcheng probably won’t face a life-or-death crisis."

"Since she’s stuck and can’t break through the Quasi-Emperor Realm, her template will stay relatively stable—it won’t just suddenly go crazy."

Ziran let out a relieved breath, "Mm-hmm, if you don’t massage her, she can’t break through to Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"But if you do, once she breaks through—even if there’s a crisis—you’ll be able to fix her template anyway."

Xiao Ye grinned, "So stop worrying. Just chill out."

Ziran’s face went back to normal. Her attention shifted, and with the massage making her a little itchy, she said expectantly,

"Xiao Ye, it’s still early. After you finish the massage, how about we work out a bit more?"

Xiao Ye: "..."

The next morning,

In the underground crystal mine’s cultivation room, Gu Qingcheng sat cross-legged atop a chunk of crystal ore, dressed in a flowing white robe, eyes closed in meditation.

Her sword-like brows were tightly knit, a fierce aura radiated from her whole body, and there wasn’t a hint of emotion on her beautiful face.

"Damn it, no matter how hard I cultivate, I still can’t break through my realm."

Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes with a stormy expression.

"Old Gu, what’s the deal? Tell me already!"

Gu Qingcheng’s divine soul said helplessly, "Stop wasting effort, it’s pointless."

"Quit cultivating, go upstairs, our hubby’s probably up by now."

"He’s always most energetic in the mornings—at his most handsome. I want to see my hubby. Hurry up and get upstairs!"

Gu Qingcheng’s face darkened, "Why do you keep bringing up our hubby? Can’t you just tell me why my realm is stuck?"

Gu Qingcheng’s divine soul thought about her relationship with Xiao Ye for a bit, then shook her head, "It’s not time yet. When the time comes, I’ll tell you even if you don’t ask."

Gu Qingcheng went upstairs.

Once she entered the living room on the first floor and saw Ziran and Xiao Ye, the fierceness in her aura totally vanished, and she became instantly approachable.

"Ziran, you cook breakfast too?"

Seeing the table full of steamed buns and soy milk, Gu Qingcheng was a bit surprised.

Ziran grinned smugly, "Hehe, I’m Ziran, all-rounder extraordinaire. Of course I cook breakfast!"

Xiao Ye quietly ate his food.

This breakfast? Ziran just conjured it with her manifestation powers,

Her cooking? Bullshit!

Gu Qingcheng, sharp-eyed, suddenly exclaimed, "Ziran, you’ve changed!"

Ziran stiffened with embarrassment, *Did she notice something?*

She couldn’t cook breakfast at all!

Gu Qingcheng pointed at Ziran’s figure, looking amazed,

"Ziran, your dress got slimmer."

Ziran looked down, pupils shrinking.

The purple dress wasn’t flat anymore—it puffed out a bit.

She’d been groggy this morning and hadn’t noticed until now.

Ziran was thrilled, *After just one body-restoring massage, the change is this dramatic?*

She’d at least gone from an A-minus to a B-plus!

Xiao Ye’s methods worked like a charm!

With a couple more sessions, her figure would probably hit its peak again.

Xiao Ye was pretty shocked too. *This good of a result?*

Even Mu Qingxue didn’t develop this well.

Xiao Ye pondered, thinking back on last night, and summed up silently,

Maybe it was because Ziran not only drank blood, but also ate a few other things from me, so that’s why it worked.

"Xiao Ye did his thing and got my body developing again!" Ziran giggled, "This dress is the same size and style as yesterday’s."

Gu Qingcheng froze.

Someone in the Saint Realm Great Power could still develop her figure?

Gu Qingcheng’s divine soul stood hands on hips, showing off in the Sea of Spirit: "Xiaogu, what do you think? My hubby’s pretty epic, right? Super talented."

"Let me tell you, he knows a ton of skills."

Gu Qingcheng nodded, genuinely surprised, *This ability really is amazing.*

Ziran’s beautiful eyes darted to the wine cabinet, not spotting yesterday’s wine, so she tried, "Qingcheng, could you sell me a jar of that wine from yesterday?"

"I’ll pay with Rule Fragments!"

"You don’t use that wine anyway—just sell it to me, I actually need it."

Gu Qingcheng’s divine soul cursed privately, *This cheeky fox really went and set her sights on our wine!*

Gu Qingcheng smiled and took out that jar of wine from her storage space, setting it in front of Ziran, saying,

"Come on, we’re besties. Bringing up payment is so formal."

"I missed your wedding with Xiao Ye, didn’t even bring a gift. Take this wine as my wedding present to you guys."

"Xiao Ye, that Chair of Enlightenment Essence you’re sitting on is yours too. Put it away for your own use."

"Both of these are my wedding gifts to you from Gu Qingcheng!"

Xiao Ye hesitated, "These two things are way too valuable. We can’t accept them."

Ziran’s hand was lightning fast as she scooped up the wine, "Xiao Ye, take it!"

"These are Qingcheng’s wedding gifts to us. We’ve got to accept them."

She was so quick, it was like she worried Qingcheng would take them back, speaking extra fast.
