Chapter 1081 — Wei Zhao's Coldness
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
And now, what Qiu Lingshan cared about most was Wei Zhao! She turned her head and looked at him, gratitude and tenderness in her beautiful eyes. If it came to the Qiu Lingshan of before, her feelings for Wei Zhao had leaned more toward the resignation of one who had given up hope, but now, Qiu Lingshan felt that she truly had developed a fondness for Wei Zhao!
Anyone would be moved to tears of gratitude by what Wei Zhao had done!
"Thank you, Wei Zhao! How are you feeling now?" Qiu Lingshan asked, looking at him with concern. "You passed all your true qi to me — then you..."
"I'm fine, I'm very well." Wei Zhao spoke faintly. In truth, Wei Zhao was truly fine in every way! This time, Wei Zhao had merely gone into the jade pendant to sleep soundly; at most he had wasted half a day of cultivation without any progress, but his own strength had not diminished by even a hair!
All the energy transmitted to Qiu Lingshan came from the space within the jade pendant; Wei Zhao's body was merely a medium, a vessel.
Wei Zhao might say so, but naturally Qiu Lingshan did not believe it! Having lost so much true qi, how could he possibly be fine? Grandmother had transmitted only a little true qi to Grandfather, and even he had to go into seclusion for a long time to recover — how much more so when Wei Zhao had sent her so much true qi?
"Wei Zhao, thank you. I know you must be suffering terribly right now!" Qiu Lingshan said, moved. "I never thought you would treat me so well, giving me so much true qi and raising my strength so much all at once. I truly don't know what to say!"
In Qiu Lingshan's original plan, today was only to flirt with Wei Zhao and then, along the way, engage in dual cultivation; being able to raise her cultivation a little would already have been quite good for Qiu Lingshan. But what she had never expected was that Wei Zhao did not dual-cultivate with her at all. Instead, by another method, he transmitted true qi directly into her, forcibly lifting her cultivation up!
This left Qiu Lingshan moved, and secretly relieved as well. Though Qiu Lingshan had harbored a certain resignation toward Wei Zhao, this was, after all, her first time — how could she not care about it?
Even if the purpose was dual cultivation, Qiu Lingshan still felt it ought to be a little more romantic; ideally, her first time would not be done for the sake of dual cultivation, but for love.
Now she had successfully preserved her first time — yet in her heart, there was a touch of disappointment.
She found she no longer quite understood Wei Zhao's heart. Did Wei Zhao have feelings for her or not? If he did, then in the situation before, he could simply have gone along with it and taken her — but Wei Zhao had not done so!
But if Wei Zhao had no such feelings for her, then why expend so much true qi to raise the strength of someone he did not like? True qi did not come blowing in on the wind; it was so precious — would he casually use it on a stranger?
Looking at the utterly overcome Qiu Lingshan, Wei Zhao said very calmly, "It's nothing. My family's dog is also at the peak of the late Yellow Stage."
"Ah?" Qiu Lingshan was slightly stunned, and then, in the next moment, she flushed red with anger at his words! Was Wei Zhao saying this to put her on the same level as a dog? That is, Wei Zhao raising her strength was like raising a dog's strength?
"All right, it's getting late. I should go." Wei Zhao rose directly to his feet, said nothing more, and walked toward the door!
Wei Zhao's behavior was far beyond Qiu Lingshan's expectations! His coldness also left Qiu Lingshan somewhat at a loss!
Qiu Lingshan did not quite understand: Wei Zhao had gone to such great lengths, raised her strength, and in the end sought no credit — what did that mean? Of course, Qiu Lingshan did not believe what Wei Zhao had said earlier! His words had only made Qiu Lingshan briefly angry, after which she regained her composure!
