Chapter 3381 — Wanting to Be Held by You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes, you're at home. You fainted earlier, and then I heard tell that your body can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, so I brought in some energy stones—and sure enough, they worked! It seems the energy in these stones can be absorbed by your body!" Wei Zhao spoke of it lightly, as though it were the most ordinary thing in the world, but Wang Xinyan knew that for him to accomplish all this could not have been easy!
She did not know how precious these energy stones were or how he had come by them, but judging by their effects, they were far from ordinary—and for Wei Zhao to have brought in so many at once was truly no small feat.
For a moment Wang Xinyan was moved, yet the words of thanks she did not quite know how to say. She was a quiet girl, not much given to putting her innermost feelings into speech.
She simply felt that Wei Zhao was very, very good to her—that if he asked anything of her now, she would be willing, even to the giving of her life...
Suddenly Wang Xinyan seemed to think of something. "With these energy stones, I won't faint anymore? Wei Zhao, I feel as though I'm simply bursting with strength—is that all thanks to these stones?"
"Hm? You feel full of vigor? Then it seems these energy stones are highly effective—that's wonderful!" Hearing her words, Wei Zhao was delighted at once. Aunt Qing's method was plainly very effective indeed.
"Then... could you hold me while you cultivate... without worrying that I'll faint... because there are the energy stones, right?" Wang Xinyan said, her face faintly flushed.
"Cultivate..." The temptation Wang Xinyan held for Wei Zhao was fatal. Not only could he hold her as she slept, but he could raise his own strength as well—a thing that served both ends at once, which Wei Zhao naturally liked.
But now Wei Zhao could not be sure whether the speed at which he cultivated while holding Wang Xinyan would outpace the speed at which she herself absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If it was slower than her absorption, there would be no problem; but if it was faster, would he not drain her into unconsciousness every single day?
A day or two of that would be all right, but over time, fainting every day—might that not do some harm to her body? Wei Zhao thought it better to err on the side of caution; after all, this was a matter concerning Wang Xinyan's health.
"You've only just woken up—let's not, all right? I'm afraid it might affect your health." Wei Zhao hesitated a moment, then declined.
"It's all right, let's try..." Here Wang Xinyan suddenly grew a little embarrassed. "I also... haven't been held by you in so long. I've missed it a little..."
The feeling of being held in Wei Zhao's arms as she fell asleep made Wang Xinyan utterly comfortable and at ease. She had not had that feeling for a long time, and she found herself longing for it.
"Then... all right." Hearing her say so, Wei Zhao knew that to refuse again would wound her heart. Besides, they could try it for one night—and if it did not work, it would be no late matter to stop cultivating.
With that thought, Wei Zhao sprang straight onto the bed. "As it happens, I'm a little sleepy myself—so let's begin..." RS
