Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Drastic Change in Temperament

When Qin Chuan saw the icy look on Qin Nian’s face, he was stunned.

Ye Qingwan was also shocked. Though she hadn’t interacted much with Qin Nian, she knew that Qin Nian was a very gentle and soft-spoken young woman. But now, her face was full of murderous intent.

And Murong Mingyue, who Qin Nian targeted, was even more shocked beyond words. She had just met Qin Nian a few days before, where they had a pleasant conversation. But now, why did Qin Nian seem like she had suddenly transformed into a completely different person?

Was this really that delicate little girl?

"Nian Nian!"

After his surprise, Qin Chuan quickly called out, and the terrifying pressure immediately vanished.

Murong Mingyue gasped for air, beads of fine sweat appearing on her forehead. When she looked at Qin Nian again, her eyes were full of fear.

"Nian Nian, what’s wrong with you?"

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Nian with a worried face, feeling even he found his sister very strange.

That wasn’t the main point, though. The main point was that the momentum Qin Nian had just released had already reached the Energizing Skill Peak.

Yet just yesterday, Qin Nian hadn’t even started cultivating. She had only just awakened the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body and then broke free from her inner demons before directly breaking through to the Dark Energy Peak Realm.

Her cultivation level went from zero to the Dark Energy Peak Realm without any hindrance, everything coming together naturally.

The Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body was one of the ten Divine Bodies recorded in the archives of the Kunlun Divine Prison. It was known for cultivation speed far surpassing that of ordinary martial artists, but could it really be this exaggerated?

Yesterday, she went from zero to the Dark Energy Peak Realm, but today her cultivation had reached the Energizing Skill Peak. Rockets don’t even move that fast, do they?

Tang Yue’er also hurried down from the second floor; for a moment, she had thought that a formidable enemy had attacked.

"Brother, I’m sorry, I..."

Qin Nian, feeling Qin Chuan’s severity, suddenly had red eyes, and large tears began to stream down.

Murong Mingyue had recovered from her initial shock and spoke in a gentle tone, "Nian Nian, did you just lose control of your emotions?"

Raising her head, tears filled Qin Nian’s eyes, full of guilt, as she nodded at Murong Mingyue. "Sister Mingyue, I’m sorry. I don’t know what happened just now; suddenly I became very angry and couldn’t control my own emotions. It was like there was another ’me’ inside my body who wanted to kill you. I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean it..."

Upon hearing this, shock filled Murong Mingyue’s face, and then something seemed to click, her expression becoming more solemn.

"Nian Nian, you might have just started cultivating and gotten a bit overzealous, succumbing to frenzy. How about we halt your cultivation for now?"

Murong Mingyue’s voice was soft as she spoke.

Qin Nian looked utterly bewildered and then turned to Qin Chuan, asking weakly, "Brother, am I being too anxious? I’ve only just started cultivating yesterday, and I’m already eager to become stronger."

Qin Chuan stepped forward, took Qin Nian’s small hand, and spoke gently, "It’s my fault. I didn’t explain the potential issues of cultivation to you. Why don’t you rest for now and after you’ve slept, we can have a proper talk about cultivation. Is that okay?"

Qin Nian nodded. "Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother."

After speaking, she looked toward Murong Mingyue and then bowed deeply to her, her face full of guilt as she said, "Sister Mingyue, I’m sorry!"

Murong Mingyue hurried forward to help Qin Nian up and said with a slight smile, "You’ve already called me sister, how could I blame you? Besides, it wasn’t on purpose. Go get some rest!"

Seeing that Murong Mingyue wasn’t blaming her, Qin Nian felt a bit better. After greeting everyone, she turned and went back to her room.

After Qin Nian had left, Qin Chuan turned to Murung Mingyue and asked, "Mingyue, you know what’s happening with Nian Nian, don’t you?"

Qin Nian’s situation was clearly not one of cultivation deviation; Murong Mingyue’s earlier explanation was obviously meant to ease Qin Nian’s mind, a pretext made up on the spot.

Murong Mingyue nodded, her expression grave as she said, "I’ve heard my grandfather mention the ten divine cultivation bodies in the Ancient Martial World. Grandfather said that the names of these divine bodies are closely related to their nature, and Nian Nian’s Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body... the emphasis is on the word ’reincarnation’."

She paused here, seeming somewhat worried.

Hearing Murong Mingyue’s words, Qin Chuan’s face filled with unprecedented gravity.

He understood this as well, like Tang Yue’er’s Celestial Yin Meridian which, though not a Divine Body, was also an exceptionally suitable constitution for cultivation.

Tang Yue’er had been intermittently falling into comas from a young age, until she eventually fell into a deep one, due to the word ’meridian’. In the Secular World, almost no one could discern the reason for her comas.

Her body could independently release Celestial Yin Energy. The words ’Celestial Yin’, plus ’meridian’, constituted the Celestial Yin Meridian.

So, for Qin Nian’s Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, there is a blood lotus on her ankle, but how should one interpret the word ’reincarnation’?

Ye Qingwan said with surprise, "According to Mingyue, does that mean that Nian Nian has to go through reincarnation to continuously grow stronger?"

However, no one replied, and the expressions on everyone’s faces grew even more serious.

This left Ye Qingwan completely stunned. She had only spoken casually, but could it really be true?

If so, it was somewhat too mystical, wasn’t it?

All of a sudden, Qin Chuan looked towards Tang Yue’er and asked, "Yue’er, you’ve been staying in the villa all this time, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Tang Yue’er shook her head, then nodded again, "Just ten minutes before you all came back, I felt a very powerful aura from Nian Nian’s room. I wanted to go in and check what was happening, but before I could enter, I heard Nian Nian telling me not to disturb her cultivation. Her tone was very harsh, which made me feel very alienated."

Qin Chuan frowned. How could Qin Nian be that kind of person?

Could it really be that the problem lies with the word ’reincarnation’?

He had been exposed to more things than Murong Mingyue and the others, and had a deeper understanding of cultivation. Some things that were impossible in the Secular World were possible in the Ancient Martial World.

Could it be that the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body truly required life after life of reincarnations to grow continuously stronger?

If that was the case, wouldn’t Qin Nian be an ancient monster who has cultivated for countless years?

The more he thought about it, the more irritable Qin Chuan got, and he said to Murong Mingyue, "Since your grandfather knows about the ten divine bodies, he should have some understanding of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body. Help me dial his number; I want to talk to him."

Murong Mingyue nodded and quickly dialed Murong Fu’s number.

The call connected quickly, and as soon as it did, Murong Fu’s voice came from the phone’s receiver, "Unless it’s about you carrying Qin Chuan’s child, I don’t want to hear it."

"Shhh—"

Murong Mingyue’s cheeks instantly flushed red because she had dialed Murong Fu’s number on speaker, so everyone present had heard what Murong Fu had said.
