Chapter 157: Chapter 150: Phoenix Marrow Enters the Body, Qi Absorption Pinnacle! (Added for Nurse Dafang)
“Greeted between rows?”
Chen Yuan remained silent, feeling that something was slightly off.
Even if he were to be greeted in such a manner, he couldn’t possibly repay her with meticulous diligence.
He pushed open the door, slowly entered, then turned and closed the door behind him.
Illuminated by the candlelight, Chen Yuan could see Shen Yanshu wearing slightly breezy clothes, her silhouette sparkling and undulating…
Noticing Chen Yuan staring at a certain part of her body, Shen Yanshu’s face momentarily blushed before she quickly tightened her clothes and said,
“Brother Chen, do you still need to wear that mask in front of people?”
She stared intently at the black ghostly mask on Chen Yuan’s face.
“Heh heh, now that you know everything, there’s no point in hiding anything…” Chen Yuan chuckled, reached up, and removed the mask, revealing a handsome face.
With a high nose bridge, deep eyes, thin lips, and eyebrows like swords that added to his heroic bearing.
Truthfully, when he had first transmigrated, he had been quite satisfied with this face, feeling a strong sense of immersion.
After Chen Yuan revealed his true face, the highly focused Shen Yanshu brightened up. She had long heard that the Heavenly Patrol Envoy Chen Yuan not only had deep potential but also looked quite heroic.
Now seeing him, the rumors were not exaggerated.
“Brother Chen indeed has a handsome face…” she remarked with admiration.
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow:
“Really? I haven’t noticed it myself. I’m face-blind, can’t tell who looks good or not. Besides, in the dangerous Jianghu, what counts isn’t your face,
but your fists and your blades!”
“Brother Chen speaks wisely.”
Shen Yanshu agreed wholeheartedly. The Shen Family was threatened by Bei Haisheng because they weren’t strong enough, and her sword was coveted by Bei Le because it wasn’t sharp enough.
Therefore, she had been determined to pursue the martial arts from a young age.
Unfortunately, the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body focused on foundational strength; after many years of arduous training, she had only managed to refine her bones and was still some distance from Qi Absorption. Although Shen Kaishan didn’t explicitly favor sons over daughters,
he had indeed poured most of the Shen family’s resources into her younger brother.
“Alright, let’s cut the idle talk. You know why I am here,” Chen Yuan got straight to the point, looking at Shen Yanshu.
The opportunity this time wasn’t the easiest to come by, but it certainly wasn’t the hardest either.
Shen Yanshu nodded solemnly:
“Of course, I will definitely do what I have promised.”
She knew that Chen Yuan was helping her solely because of the Phoenix Marrow Energy within her, without any other motives. In Chen Yuan’s eyes, she didn’t detect any unusual looks.
Perhaps, in his eyes, she was merely a vessel for the Phoenix Marrow Energy.
Perhaps only that explained how she, at just over twenty years of age, had made it to the Hidden Dragon List and shocked everyone with her prowess! Find the newest release on novel[f]ire.net
Thinking thus, she felt somewhat relieved but also somewhat pained.
No woman is indifferent to the way men look at them.
Chen Yuan smiled. He wasn’t worried about Shen Yanshu reneging. If worst came to worst, he could just give her an “annihilation package,” but that would make his efforts in vain
and diminish the effects of the Phoenix Marrow Energy.
“However, you must also fulfill what you once promised, not to tell anyone about my possession of the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body, nor to coerce me into being used as a furnace,
and as for how you came to know about my Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body, I do not wish to know.”
Shen Yanshu said firmly.
“Rest assured, I, Chen Yuan, always keep my word!”
Chen Yuan’s mouth curved into a warm smile.
That statement was true; he generally followed through on his promises.
A man’s promise is his bond!
“I believe, Brother Chen.”
Shen Yanshu said with a smile.
“I also believe in myself.”
The atmosphere was silent and still.
Shen Yanshu sat cross-legged on the bed, her mind collected, and soon, she nodded at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan understood, stood up, and moved in front of her.
Shen Yanshu took a deep breath and gazed as Chen Yuan slowly extended a hand and placed it above her head.
With a focused gaze, Chen Yuan opened his Heavenly Eye, and a flash of cyan Divine Light twinkled in his eyes. In his gaze, he could clearly see a fiery red light simmering within Shen Yanshu’s Dantian.
Was the Phoenix Marrow Energy!
The Innate Spiritual Energy Shen Yanshu had nurtured for over twenty years.
It was something she had been born with, incredibly precious. If word got out, it would certainly provoke many martial artists into contention, but fortunately, neither Chen Yuan nor Shen Yanshu wanted this information leaked.
As the Supreme Mysterious Scripture circulated, a faint light swirled around Chen Yuan’s hand, golden speckles instantly covering his entire right arm.
A strong suction force emanated from his palm.
Shen Yanshu focused her Qi in the Dantian, slowly mobilizing the Phoenix Marrow Energy inside. Silky strands of blood light twined around her skin’s surface, the Dantian Energy showing some resistance.
But with their concerted focus, it was successfully drawn forth.
Flowing within Shen Yanshu’s body, through legs, arms, and Dantian…
The Phoenix Marrow Energy, as if sentient, meandered throughout Shen Yanshu’s body, and she, along its path, empowered it to ensure the Phoenix Marrow Energy was not depleted.
If it weren’t for her complete cooperation, much of the Phoenix Marrow Energy’s Spirit would merge into her body, which was beneficial for her,
allowing her to cleanse her marrow and open her channels.
However, since Chen Yuan had helped her, and she had previously agreed to it, she couldn’t back out now. She was also unsure how much Chen Yuan knew about this Phoenix Marrow Energy.
