I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

As the sun was setting and the day was getting darker, Qin Yun sat on a large rock with his hands on his chin, quietly watching Wen Renyu grilling meat over a fire.

Ever since the two of them met, Wen Renyu has been cooking dinner every day.

It’s not that Qin Yun was deliberately being lazy.

Instead, ever since Wen Renyu tasted Qin Yun's cooking once, he took the initiative to take charge of the dinner job.

"Give!"

Wen Renyu handed the roasted beast meat to Qin Yun.

"Thank you!"

Qin Yun took it, blew it gently, and began to eat it in small bites. She had put in a lot of effort to deal with the Gulu beast today, and she was really hungry now.

After eating, Wen Renyu took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Qin Yun.

"This is a new kind of elixir I made, called Fusion Pill. Do you want to try it?"

Qin Yun paused, she did not answer, and looked at Wen Renyu with some vigilance.

"Fusion Pill? What are they used for?"

She didn't remember telling him about her physical condition.

"It can allow your body and spiritual roots to merge with each other. I see that your spiritual power is a little strange, and I guess that your spiritual roots and the spiritual source of your body may not match, so I specially refined this pill."

Wen Renyu poked the fire with a wooden stick and spoke in a normal tone.

"The spiritual root and the body are fused? How did you know?"

Wen Renyu said it so bluntly, no matter how stupid Qin Yun was, he knew that he had guessed her physical condition.

But Qin Yun was a little confused about how Wen Renyu knew about it. You have to know that in the original plot, Qin Yun married Qian Yejing, and Qian Yejing didn't even notice that there was something wrong with her spiritual roots.

Wen Renyu raised his eyes to look at her, a smile flashed in his brown eyes.

"Hmm! You obviously have dual spiritual roots of water and wood, but your sensitivity to the spiritual power of water and wood is extremely low, and you even feel a faint rejection. If I am not mistaken, the spiritual root in your body now is not your own, so it is very difficult for you to practice. This pill can alleviate your pain and help your body and spiritual root merge."

There are all kinds of strange things in the world of cultivation. Although stealing other people's spiritual roots is rare, it does happen.

However, such means are truly evil and unorthodox, and are despised by those who follow the right path.

Wen Renyu had encountered this situation before, and since he was careful, after working with Qin Yun a few times, he quickly realized that something was wrong with Qin Yun.

"Thank you!" Qin Yun took the porcelain bottle from him.

Now that she has been seen through, there is no need for her to hide it.

But she was indeed a little curious about Wen Renyu's attitude.

Judging from the time we've been together, Wen Renyu is a typical righteous disciple who does things in an upright manner.

On the surface, her situation seems like she has taken away someone else's spiritual roots, which is not in line with the right path.

Wen Renyu did not despise or alienate her, but instead made some elixirs to help her. This behavior really made her a little confused.

She couldn't help but test him.

"You are right. The spiritual root in my body is indeed not mine. However, don't you think it is bad to take away other people's spiritual roots?"

Wen Renyu was stunned for a moment, then saw Qin Yun looking at him curiously. He suddenly laughed, his expression rather helpless.

"We can't just look at the surface. I see that you like cold and fear heat. Every time you attack, there is a chill in your spiritual energy. If I'm not mistaken, your original spiritual root should be a single ice spiritual root.

I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to exchange their ice spiritual roots for ordinary water and wood spiritual roots."

Of course, there are fools who volunteer to do this, but based on his understanding of Qin Yun during this period of time, he feels that Qin Yun is not that kind of person.

Qin Yun gave him a thumbs up and had to admire his insight.

"Mr. Wen, you must be really meticulous and observant."

Most people are accustomed to judging whether something is right or wrong based on their preconceived ideas, but many times what we see is not necessarily the truth, and not many people can see the essence through the surface.

Since the conversation had come to this, she was in no hurry to go back and simply sat down again.

"Can you tell me what else you have figured out?"

The last ray of afterglow in the west sank into the horizon. On the moonless night, the sky and the earth were as dark as ink. The dim light from the fire shone on the two people's faces, and the shadows flickered, giving off a mysterious beauty.

Wen Renyu added a few branches to the fire, and the fire suddenly rose a few degrees. He pondered for a moment and said

"Ice Spiritual Roots are top-grade spiritual roots and are rare. In recent years, I have only heard that Yun Yan Sect has accepted a disciple with extremely high talent for Ice Spiritual Roots. If I remember correctly, her name is Qin Qing."

At this point, Wen Renyu raised his head and met Qin Yun's bright eyes. His heart suddenly softened. He sighed softly and continued.

"Your last name is also Qin. Considering your age, I guess you and Qin Qing are blood-related sisters. Was it her who...changed your spiritual roots?"

Qin Qing is still very famous among the new generation of geniuses, but apart from Yun Yanzong, not many people know Qin Yun. After all, who would care about an outer disciple with poor talent?

Combining Qin Yun's surname and age, Wen Renyu came to this conclusion.

Qin Yun did not show any embarrassment or anger at being seen through, nor did he show any sadness at being mentioned about his sad story. His tone remained cheerful.

"Oh! You figured it out."

The guess is not completely correct, but it is almost right.

If such a person were to become his enemy, he would be a formidable foe.

Fortunately, they don't have any conflicts at the moment.

Perhaps it was because he had stayed in this uninhabited place for too long in the past few years, Qin Yun rarely felt the urge to talk.

She told the story of the original owner and Qin Qing swapping identities and spiritual roots as if she were telling a story.

Wen Renyu listened quietly

Looking at Qin Yun talking about her tragic experience calmly as if she were a bystander, I inexplicably felt sorry for her.

He was not a disciple from a family of immortal cultivators, and he had already experienced the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation. He had obviously seen people who were more miserable than Qin Yun, but he had never felt this kind of heartache.

He was not used to this kind of emotion, in his opinion.

Feelings like heartache and pity would never appear in his world.

In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and it is understandable that the weak are bullied.

Seeking pity from others is a foolish behavior. Only by constantly working hard to become stronger can you carve out a way out in this world.

But today…listening to Qin Yunyun's calm and relaxed description of her experiences, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He thought, it was probably because Qin Yun's tone was too relaxed.

Or maybe... because they are currently dependent on each other... friends.

Wen Renyu wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start. He had never done such a job as comforting someone before.

He thought about it and thought that since Qin Yun had told him about her own experiences, she must trust him very much. He couldn't let her down, so he returned the favor by telling her about his own experiences.

Qin Yun listened with great interest.

Compared with her tragic experience, Wen Renyu's growth along the way is like the growth and face-slapping history of the male protagonist in a cool novel.

It’s just a pity that he was unlucky and died in the secret realm, dying halfway.

Qin Yun admires him very much.

Although he had known his background and experience from the system before, the system's description was rather general and far less detailed than his own description.
