Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 11: Good Brother, Help Me

The breeze blows gently, and the green grass sways like waves, revealing layers of green.

The fresh green is full of vitality and vigor. The grass is dotted with colorful wild flowers, which are connected together like gems scattered on a green velvet carpet, which is delightful.

Next to a big tree, Dahuang kept banging his head against the trunk. After a while, a few fruits fell from the tree. Dahuang picked them up in his mouth and ran towards a cave not far away.

Coming to the innermost part of the cave, next to a somewhat charred body, it was Xiao Yichen, who was killed by lightning a month ago. He had regained consciousness at this moment, but he didn't know how he survived. Fortunately, he had a good mentality and didn't get too obsessed with it. He was happy as long as he could survive.

Dahuang crushed the fruit in his mouth, and the juice flowed down and dripped onto his body. The juice slowly invaded his body along the scars on the surface.

Feeling the medicinal properties in his body, Xiao Yichen slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dahuang beside him, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Dahuang..." Now he could only move his eyes and mouth. For other parts of his body, the slightest movement would cause him to feel excruciating pain.

As for the pill in his mouth, as soon as he woke up, Dahuang was very humane and used fruit juice to dissolve the sugar coating of the pill.

With the treatment of the pill, all the injuries in his body were well repaired. However, his injuries were too severe. After the pill repaired his internal organs, it completely lost its effect. The injuries outside his body could only be recovered slowly by him.

And that fruit was the red lotus fruit that Liu Qingqing had asked him to pick at the beginning. It had a certain effect on his injuries. During this period, Dahuang would pick a few every day to help him heal his injuries.

"At this rate, I can completely heal the internal injuries today. As for the external injuries, I think it won't take long." Xiao Yichen lay on the ground, slowly feeling every part of his body. Although the process of using lightning this time was painful, the gains were also huge.

At this moment, he has officially stepped into the realm of body tempering. Once his injuries are healed, his strength will surely increase greatly.

What made him even more excited was that there was inexplicably an extra energy in his body. It was not spiritual energy, nor was it the so-called lightning power left in the body after being struck by lightning, but an unknown energy that he was not familiar with.

This energy possesses a destructive power comparable to thunder, but is much gentler than thunder. However, within this gentleness, there is an incomparably majestic aura. When he first released this energy, Da Huang and the others actually prostrated themselves before Xiao Yichen, as if they felt some inexplicable pressure.

Previously, Xiao Yichen had never seen any record of a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm controlling energy in any book. In other words, this was an opportunity that belonged to him alone. He had a hunch that this energy could take him to the pinnacle of this world.

Seven days later, under the surprised gaze of Dahuang and the other two, Xiao Yichen slowly stood up with difficulty and got familiar with his new body. He was much stronger than a peak mortal. Every move he made could generate gusts of wind pressure.

"Damn... Is this the strength of the Body Tempering Realm? So strong?" Xiao Yichen excitedly tried again and again in the back mountain. After comparison, he found that he was more than ten times stronger than before. No wonder it was said that there was a world of difference between mortals and immortal cultivators. It was just a breakthrough in a small realm, but the strength difference was so big.

With excitement, he found a pool and began to slowly wash the dirt off his body. After the baptism of nature, almost all the impurities in his body were discharged. The entire pool water turned completely black the moment he jumped in, and he only washed his upper body clean.

Two hours later, Xiao Yichen was eating the lamb leg in his hand, thinking about how to explain it after returning to the sect. After all, he had disappeared for such a long time, and it would be hard to justify it without a reasonable excuse.

He glanced at the rhubarb guys who were still fighting over the roasted lamb, and a sly smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Da Huang, do you still want to eat roasted whole lamb?"

Hearing this, three ferocious beasts ran towards him, constantly rubbing their heads against his feet. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled in his heart.

Inside the Charming Gate, Liu Qingqing hugged Xiao Yichen's arm, tears streaming down her face. On the side, Yun Mei sat on a chair, holding a long leather whip in her hand, staring fiercely at the three beasts, including Da Huang, who were standing on their two legs in the corner. Anyone who dared to put their front feet on the ground would be hit by Yun Mei's whip immediately.

"So, you have been trapped in the cave in the back mountain by those three beasts for more than a month?" Yun Mei said coldly without turning her head.

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen looked at Da Huang and the others, a look of heartache on his face. He said, "Senior Sister, don't be angry with them anymore. They were just playing around and didn't really hurt me." At this point, Xiao Yichen scratched his head awkwardly and continued, "Actually, it's only me who's to blame. I was just looking for trouble back then, throwing fruit like it was a ball, which drew out the latent genes in their bodies. Every time I threw the fruit, they would pick it up like dogs and ask me to throw more. You know, I'm a mortal and can't beat them, so I could only play with them like this."

Having said that, Liu Qingqing, who was still holding his arm, wanted to rush up and teach Dahuang and the others a lesson, but fortunately Xiao Yichen stopped her.

"Good brothers, you have suffered a lot. Once you get through this, you will be my real brothers." He prayed silently for Dahuang and the others in his heart, with an expression of pity on his face.

Finally, after standing for an afternoon, Yun Mei finally let them go. The three beasts ran away without looking back as if they had been pardoned. They didn't even dare to settle the score with Xiao Yichen. The woman with the long whip was so terrifying that she really wanted to kill them.

Looking at his three brothers running farther and farther away, Xiao Yichen decided to give them a bigger meal tonight.

"Senior sister, since my brother has been found, I will go back first." Liu Qingqing suddenly spoke when she saw the silence in the room. She was not a fool. Although she wanted to stay here, Xiao Yichen was her senior sister's nominal Taoist partner after all. She had been holding Xiao Yichen for such a long time, and it was very good for Yunmei that she was not angry with her.

"Well, be careful on the road and have a good rest tonight. Your eyes are almost swollen like fish eyes." Yun Mei rubbed her head, feeling a little distressed. Since Liu Qingqing was accepted into the sect, she was almost brought up by her, the senior sister. After sending Liu Qingqing away, Yun Mei came to sit down beside the bed, glanced at Xiao Yichen who was still standing beside her, and pulled him over.

"Qingqing has held you for so long, don't you have anything to explain?" Yunmei narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiao Yichen who was sitting next to her with an extremely cold face.

"This...that...Senior Sister, you know that I look like her brother. It's normal for a younger sister to be a little excited when her brother returns from missing life." She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead while speaking, and it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

"Oh? Really?" Yun Mei stared at him with a forced smile. Xiao Yichen suddenly felt his scalp tingling, just like a husband who was caught fooling around by his wife.

When Yun Mei saw him like this, she felt even more angry. During this period of time, through her observation, she found that Liu Qingqing really regarded Xiao Yichen as her own brother. There was no need for her to be jealous of this simple-minded little girl. But this only represented Liu Qingqing's thoughts. Who knew if Xiao Yichen had any other evil thoughts about Liu Qingqing in his heart.

Just when she was about to lose control of her inner anger, Xiao Yichen suddenly called out "Madam" and startled her completely.

Seeing the anger on Yunmei's face slowly disappear and turn into surprise, Xiao Yichen's brain raced, and he recited the cheesy love words written in the novels in his previous world: "My wife, you know that I have a deep affection for you, just like the endless flow of the river. Since I met you, my heart has been firmly occupied by you, and no one else can enter. Your gentle eyes, like bright stars, illuminate my world; your sweet smile, like the warm spring sun, warms my heart. Every day with you is the most precious time in my life. No matter if it is stormy or sunny, I am willing to walk hand in hand with you, never leave you, and walk through every journey of life together."

When he finished reciting, he saw that the deep affection in Yunmei's eyes had completely dissipated, and her pretty face was full of emotion and happiness. Her eyes were slightly moist, sparkling with a moving light.

Her slightly trembling lips were like flowers blooming in spring, making people want to touch them gently. She tried hard to restrain the surging emotions in her heart, but no matter how she tried to control herself, her hands seemed to be out of control and gently stroked Xiao Yichen's cheek.

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Xiao Yichen took advantage of the situation and said:

"My lady, I promise, I promise that you will be my only love in this life."

Gently wiping away the tears from her eyes, Yun Mei could no longer control herself. She threw Xiao Yichen to the ground and buried her head in his arms. Tears continued to flow, filling her entire chest.

"I believe that you are the only one for me in this life."
