730 A Blessing in Disguise
Seeing that something was wrong, Jiu Yuan quickly called out to Han Shi, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t faint.”
Han Shi did not speak. Instead, he sniffed the air. When he smelled Qin Xi, he exploded.
When Jiu Yuan saw Han Shi stripping off Qin Xi’s clothes, he was stunned and quickly went up to stop him. “Hey, hey, hey, you can’t be such a beast. Your wife is running a high fever. If you don’t help her, she’ll probably die. Hey… f*ck.”
Perhaps because he was annoyed with Jiu Yuan talking so much, Han Shi sent him flying out of the window with a palm strike. Jiu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to curse. Just as he was about to rush into the house again, he saw that Han Shi was already on top of Qin Xi.
Jiu Yuan thought to himself that since they were husband and wife, it should not be against the law for them to do that. After thinking it through, he retreated out of the door and looked at the sky with a gloomy expression.
The next afternoon, Jiu Yuan was hanging on a tree and resting with his eyes closed when he was woken up by a rumbling sound coming from inside the house.
After waking up, he quickly ran into the house and saw Qin Xi and Han Shi looking at each other in confusion, half naked.
Jiu Yuan quickly looked away and coughed. “Uh… It’s good that the two of you are not dead!”
After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t get a reply from the two of them. Jiu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, “Hey, what’s going on? Make a sound and let me know that you’re still alive!”
Qin Xi flicked her finger, and a wisp of Mystic True Qi surged out like a torrential aura, sending Jiu Yuan flying out.
Jiu Yuan complained, “Damn, as expected of a couple… You’re bullying ghosts too much!”
“Xi, do you feel that something is wrong?” Although he had already confirmed the answer in his heart, Han Shi still couldn’t believe it. He wanted to hear an affirmative answer from Qin Xi.
Qin Xi was also shocked, but she still suppressed the excitement in her heart and smiled. “Stone, it seems like we’re really lucky.”
In just one night, Han Shi had jumped from the late-stage Heaven Realm to the mid-stage Postnatal Realm. It was no wonder Han Shi had such a big reaction.
Even Qin Xi was no exception. She had finally broken through the fourth realm. Now, her cultivation level had already reached the mid-stage of the fifth realm. This was much more useful than eating spiritual herbs.
However, this pleasant surprise was indeed thrilling.
This was because the couple could sense that this fruit was extraordinary. It was already a blessing that Qin Xi did not explode and die. If not for Han Shi interfering, Qin Xi would probably have exploded from the fruit. Of course, it was also fortunate that Han Shi only took a small bite and absorbed most of Qin Xi’s spiritual qi. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“That was close!” The couple looked at the fruit on the ground and thought with lingering fear.
No matter what, after this matter, the couple could be considered to have profited from a disaster. However, what they did not know was that because they accidentally ate this fruit, there would be an even bigger ‘surprise’ in the future.
Of course, that was a story for another time.
Han Shi put on his clothes and picked up the half-eaten fruit on the ground. He looked at Qin Xi. “Wifey, what should we do with this?”
Qin Xi thought for a moment and said, “The spiritual qi here is too dense. If you take it directly, you might explode and die. Save it. When we go back, I’ll refine it into a pill. At that time, the side effects won’t be so life-threatening.”
