However, this was only a small part of it. It was only enough for Jiang Liu'er to absorb as much as she could. To be satisfied, he would need to absorb more treasures, or more accurately, more black qi.

”I 'ate' the treasure just like that? I've become a monster? ”

Obviously, Jiang Liu'er still couldn't accept the fact that his body could absorb treasures, but that wasn't important, because he had decided to absorb some treasures so that the black gas in his dantian would become more plump.

This way, he would be able to grow even faster and help Xuanyuan Mingxue.

”Phew …”

After the commotion caused by the small handchain in the middle of the night, it was already 3 in the morning. A drowsiness swept over Jiang Liu'er's head and he yawned. He quickly turned off the lights in his study before returning to his bedroom.

Just as he lay down and closed his eyes, he entered the embrace of Eunuch Zhou. He dreamt the entire night until the next morning.

The morning breeze brought down the malnourished leaves from the books, forming a unique morning scene that was enjoyed by many of the elders of the morning training.

Jiang Liu'er turned her body over on the soft bed and moved her eyelids, but she still didn't wake up. Suddenly, her brows locked together, as if something was bothering him.

”Xuanyuan Mingxue, be careful!”

Jiang Liu'er couldn't see where she was with her naked eyes because of the large black patch. The cold feeling made her back turn cold.

”Drip, drip, drip.” This seductive voice kept repeating in Jiang Liu'er's ears. This kind of disadvantageous environment left him with no confidence at all in his heart.

”Jiang Liu'er, don't be afraid. I'll be right in front. Come quickly.”

”Xuanyuan Mingxue's familiar voice suddenly drifted over from the darkness. This voice is like a clear spring in the desert, instantly giving Jiang Liu'er strength and courage.”

Regardless of the direction, Jiang Liu'er felt the direction of the sound and slightly stretched out her arm to protect herself from the sudden danger.

Suddenly, a blinding light lit up the darkness. Jiang Liu'er covered her eyes with her hands. When she finally regained her senses, the scene in front of her was completely different from the darkness from before.

The gurgling brook, the vast grassland, and the snowy mountain in the distance, all of this scene was so beautiful, as if it was the world depicted in the painting.

Not far away, Xuanyuan Mingxue was wearing a pink dress. As she stood there, the scene was so beautiful, so captivating.

Xuanyuan Mingxue seemed to have felt that someone was behind her. When she turned around and saw Jiang Liu'er, her lips curled up into a charming smile. This smile was like the gentle caress of a spring breeze, warming the softest spot in Jiang Liu'er's heart.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was in an unreal world. Step by step, he walked into Xuanyuan Mingxue and he couldn't even control his own body.

Xuanyuan Mingxue just smiled like that. Her shallow dimples and curved eyebrows, it was as if Jiang Liu'er had drank too much and was intoxicated by it.

Just like that, Jiang Liu'er extended a hand to Xuanyuan Mingxue and gently leaned on her shoulder. Jiang Liu'er lowered her head and saw Xuanyuan Mingxue's big eyes, which were twinkling with long lashes.

Xuanyuan Mingxue raised her head and her watery eyes met Jiang Liu'er's deep black colored gaze. ”Ding.” There was a sound, as if something was frantically growing inside Jiang Liu'er's body.

Jiang Liu'er suddenly felt a little nervous. Other than his secret crush on Yang Xiaotong, she was the only girl he had ever met.

Xuanyuan Mingxue's appearance could definitely be considered one of the top, but now, she was in Jiang Liu'er's embrace with her tender lips just a hair's breadth away. If he didn't kiss her now, he would truly feel sorry for himself.

The faint fragrance from Xuanyuan Mingxue's body made him a little flustered, and the touch of her lips caused his body to suddenly feel numb. He couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Xuanyuan Mingxue, who was still immersed in his embrace with her eyes closed.

”Xuanyuan Mingxue!”

With just a gentle peck, they separated. Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but call out Xuanyuan Mingxue's name. He really couldn't hide the feelings that had been buried in his heart for the past few days.

”Do you know how worried I am about you?”

Xuanyuan Mingxue shyly nodded and leaned against River Stream's chest again.

Jiang Liu'er tightened her arms. He held Xuanyuan Mingxue even more tightly in his embrace.

”I never felt that you were very important. I even felt that it was good that you disappeared from my life. After all, after you came, my life … ”It's a bit chaotic.”

Jiang Liu'er felt that she had no clue what she was saying, but this was definitely the most truthful and truest feeling she had. Xuanyuan Mingxue's arrival had thrown his life into chaos, but at the same time, it was also due to this unusual mess that he had begun to clearly understand his own inner world for the first time.

”But it was also because of this that I saw you clearly. Just like that, you suddenly disappeared for a few days, and only then did I discover that the days you spent by my side were the days that made me the happiest, and also the days that made me the most at ease.

Xuanyuan Mingxue pursed her lips and gave a shallow smile. Her smile softened Jiang Liu'er's heart. If possible, Jiang Liu'er would rather stay at this moment because this moment was so beautiful.

”I'm very worried about you. I'm afraid that you'll be tortured by bad people. I'm afraid that something might happen to you, but …”
