I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character
Chapter 14: A Little Guilty For Some Reason

“Young Lady, what type of physique did I forge?” Because only Qin Shi Meng was present, Lil Huan didn’t feel any discomfort even though she was naked. She looked down at her body. “It doesn’t feel any different from before. There also doesn’t seem to be any sticky toxins expelled, like the book said there would be. Did I fail?”

“When mortals consume food, they accumulate a certain amount of toxins, and the older they get, the more toxins they have. You’re still young, so you have fewer toxins, so even if they are expelled, it’s not very noticeable.” Qin Shi Meng handed Lil Huan a towel.

“I can do it myself. Oh, I’m sorry, Young Lady, I got your clothes wet.”

Qin Shi Meng’s red skirt had a conspicuous water mark, and the fabric, when wet, would cling tightly to the skin, revealing a considerable bulge. Although Qin Shi Meng was only 17 years old, people had different constitutions. She belonged to the type that developed early and was more mature.

“It’s alright.” Qin Shi Meng activated her cultivation art, emitting a burst of cold air, and the dress quickly dried. “As for what type of physique you forged, I don’t know, but it should be a success. We can ask Brother Yong when he comes back.”

“Okay.” Lil Huan quickly dressed herself, emptied the medicinal tub of water, and began to clean it.

Qin Shi Meng walked outside and looked at the scenery in the courtyard. Suddenly, she saw Ye Yong sitting in the pavilion, facing the setting sun, playing the flute. A beautiful scene of the wind gently blowing and flowers dancing appeared in her mind. She was inspired and said, “A tune in the garden reflects in the guest hall, a clear flute leisurely played as the sun sets.”

Her heart inexplicably quickened, and Qin Shi Meng shook her head, feeling that she had become a bit strange. Dispersing her thoughts, she walked around the courtyard along a small stone path and came to the pond.

There were several bored goldfish swimming in the water, and some fish food floated on the surface of the water. Even when Qin Shi Meng approached, they didn’t react much, as if they were numb.

“These fish seem to be a bit stupid,” said Lil Huan, who had finished cleaning the medicinal tub, came to Qin Shi Meng’s side, and looked at the goldfish.

“What are you talking about?” Qin Shi Meng rolled her eyes at Lil Huan. “Maybe they’re just full and don’t want to move.”

“True, the things that Young Master Ye keeps must be good. By the way, Young Lady, I saw some very unique books and paintings on the bookshelf.”

“Unique books and paintings?”

“They are books of small people with dialogue, even more interesting than ordinary books.”

“It’s not appropriate to casually look at other people’s things.”

“But they were on the bookshelf, so it should be okay to look at them, right?”

…

After Ye Yong brought back Wu Xue and Yi Bai, he did not enter the house but let the two women go in first. He did this for fear that Lil Huan was changing clothes or something.

In fact, Ye Yong didn’t mind having a lucky pervert incident, but the problem was that Qin Shi Meng was also there. His eyes may get lucky, but his favorability would decrease, which was not worth it. He let the women in first to make sure there were no problems, and this detail would help to show that he was a gentleman.

Therefore, compared to the eye candy now, Ye Yong paid more attention to increasing the favorability of the heroines through details. When their favorability were high enough, he would be able to get plenty of eye candy.

Ye Yong waited outside for a while, but no one called him in. Logically speaking, the refinement should have ended already. Even if they were changing clothes, it wouldn’t take that long. Taking a few steps back, even if Lil Huan had fainted, there were three of them, so they should have been able to help her put her clothes on. But Ye Yong was very patient in this regard, so he waited.

Half an hour later, Wu Xue rushed out apologetically, “I’m sorry! Young Master, I’m really sorry!”

Qin Shi Meng and Lil Huan followed behind. Lil Huan lowered her head, and Qin Shi Meng looked apologetic, “I’m really sorry. Brother Yong, you were obviously being thoughtful of Lil Huan, but we…”

Ye Yong smiled, “It’s okay, but why did it take so long?”

“Because…” Wu Xue

“We were watching Young Master’s comic, and Yi Bai was instantly hooked, and I also got caught up in it by accident…”

“Okay.” Ye Yong thought of many possibilities, but couldn’t imagine that such a weird reason had kept him outside for more than an hour.

But Qin Shi Meng’s favorability had increased by 3 points, now reaching 94. And because of her shame, Wu Xue’s favorability also increased by 2. Together, they gave him more than 2000 transcend points, which was not a loss for him.

“Did the physique forging succeed?” Ye Yong decided to change the subject, so they wouldn’t continue to feel sorry and embarrassed.

“Maybe it did, I’m not sure.” Lil Huan didn’t feel any changes herself. “Young Master Ye, what is the name of the physique I forged?”

“The Heavenly Serene Water Physique.”

“The Heavenly Serene Water Physique?” Lil Huan hadn’t seen any books mentioning this physique before, and she saw Qin Shi Meng furrow her brows in thought, so she probably hadn’t heard of it either.

“Do you know what Heavenly Serene Water is, Shi Meng?” Ye Yong asked.

“It’s a spiritual fluid that can quickly restore a cultivator’s spiritual power.” Qin Shi Meng had some guesses. “Could it be that this physique can transform its spiritual power into Heavenly Serene Water and replenish the spiritual power of other cultivators?”

“It’s almost like that. It’s a charging bank physique.” Because Lil Huan didn’t have much of a role in the novel, Ye Yong didn’t dare to give her a physique that was too powerful, so he just made her a support for Qin Shi Meng in the backline, which shouldn’t change the plot too much.

“The charging bank physique?” A very novel term.

“It’s nothing, I’m just talking nonsense.” Ye Yong quickly said, “Anyway, Lil Huan has the lowest rank of water spiritual root, and even if she specializes in water-based spiritual techniques as a cultivator, the damage she causes is limited because her water is too weak. However, it’s precisely because her water is weak and has low invasiveness that, with the right arts to assist her, she can transform the water into something that cultivators can absorb, similar to the Heavenly Serene Water.”

“In simple terms, I’m not suitable for combat?” Lil Huan listened in a daze, not understanding what it meant for her water to be too weak and invasiveness to be low.

“Yes. However, after your cultivation improves, it is still possible to suppress the opponent using only spiritual power.”

“Although I don’t quite understand, as long as I can cultivate, it’s okay.”

“No, you better understand; you are actually very useful,” Ye Yong said seriously. “If one day Shi Meng fights with an enemy and runs out of spirit-enhancing pills or is in a formation that cannot restore spiritual power, you will be her source of backup spiritual power and can save her life at a critical moment.”

Upon hearing this, Lil Huan felt some weight on her shoulders. “I can help Young Lady?”

Lil Huan’s goal in wanting to become a cultivator was not to fight and kill, but to live longer and experience more things with Qin Shi Meng. She never thought she could help Qin Shi Meng in battle.

“Ordinary cultivators cannot easily transfer their spiritual power to others like you can, so don’t underestimate yourself,” Ye Yong patted Lil Huan’s head, handed her a specialized cultivation art, and a few bottles of beyond-grade Qi Gathering pills. “If you don’t understand anything about cultivation, just ask Shi Meng.”

Lil Huan excitedly took the cultivation art and pills, knelt down, and kowtowed to Ye Yong, “Young Master Ye! I have no way to repay your great kind…”

“Okay, that’s enough.” Ye Yong used spiritual power to support Lil Huan, feeling that he couldn’t bear this kindness.

Originally, he did all this to improve Qin Shi Meng’s impression of him, and he never thought about how important changing the girl’s destiny was to her. Watching Lil Huan wiping her tears and Qin Shi Meng thanking him, Ye Yong felt a little guilty for some reason. Perhaps he shouldn’t have acted with the sole purpose of improving his favorability rating and getting transcend points. Like doing good deeds, if you do them with a purpose, the happiness you receive will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
