Chapter 54: Just One Hug! (1/2)

Still Luo Zehn's POV:

A few minutes later:

Once the tearjerking moment was over, and everyone had said their thanks, I decided to do the most foolish thing I had ever done.

Upon sensing that this Yong Rui kid couldn't control the Qi energy inside him, I decided to aide him by lending some of my Qi to him.

”He's still not waking up, what do we do?” Liu Zhi concernedly asked. In his eyes, I could tell that he couldn't stomach the number of bites Yong Rui had. But just like before, he didn't move an inch from where he was.

”Is there anything we could do?” Wu Yan clasped her hands in front of me as she stared at me with googly and teary eyes. I could tell that she owed Yong Rui her life and she has probably fallen head over heel for him.

Good on you, Yong Rui! Now wake up already!

”I will try to ease his tempestuous qi energy by lending him some of mine. We can't help him with any medicine or material... but I'm pretty sure that we can aide him in his self-healing by lending him some of my Qi.”

”But... what if that made his energy go even more wild? Wouldn't that cripple him for life?” Liu Zhi asked.

”That's why I'll only be assisting him internally. I won't feed him my Qi energy, but instead, I will envelop him with it and hopefully, that would help him contain his Qi.” I continued.

The three of them could more or less understand what I was talking about so they unanimously nodded.

”We'll take care of any stray zombie that will come here. Please, we'll leave him to you.” Liu Zhi bowed towards me as soon as he stood up.

”Leave it to me.”

Once that's settled, I accessed my Qi Core with it's fire attributes and wrapped it around the stormy qi that came out of Yong Rui. To my surprise, instead of enveloping Yong Rui, my Qi energy was absorbed as if Yong Rui was a sponge and my Qi was water. And not only that, Yong Rui even went as far as to absorb the Qi energy directly inside me.

”This is dangerous! We have to get out of here, right now!” I screamed.

Since Liu Zhi and the others were a realm above me, they were able to sense the disturbance before I did. After hearing it from me, the four of us rushed away from Yong Rui as fast as we could.

Swiiiish!

In that split second, the Qi in the surrounding area was sucked dry. A portion of the forest was cleared and even the ground was as dead as ashes. There was not a speck of Qi left in a hundred-meter radius.

”What's going on?” I asked myself, as we slowly approached Yong Rui.

Wait... was he sitting down when we left him?

Somehow, the aura surrounding Yong Rui has gotten much more tumultuous and unrestrained. But there was a bit of a difference compared to before. Before there was no control whatsoever in his Qi but now, it's as if the Qi was bending at his will.

What monstrous Qi absorption!
