Jiang Qi pondered for a moment, then asked her younger brother, "Where in Rongzhou is Shen Yao's hometown?"

Jiang Ming looked at his sister warily.

Jiang Qi narrowed her eyes slightly: "What? Can't I say?"

Jiang Ming hesitated.

Jiang Qi's fists were itching to punch her younger brother: "She's Jiang Yu's mother, the biological mother of the future young sect leader of the True God Sect. Besides, with her father's strength, what are you afraid I'll do to her?"

"Swear it." Jiang Ming had lost his mind. He himself was a person who didn't keep his word, yet he wanted his sister to swear it.

Jiang Qi laughed in exasperation: "Say that again?"

Jiang Ming: "You swear that you will never hurt Shen Yao."

"Hahaha, you really are my good little brother." Jiang Qi's expression turned from laughter to malice, and she slapped Jiang Ming across the face: "Do you have a brain? Do you think Shen Yao's life-extending Nine-Turn Soul-Stabilizing Pill was obtained casually? If I wanted to harm her, I could just stop the medication. Are you stupid!"

Jiang Ming's face burned; his sister always hit him hard.

The siblings stood facing off for a long time, but Jiang Ming still insisted: "Swear it."

"Heh." Jiang Qi took out a box of Nine-Turn Soul-Stabilizing Pills and stuffed it into Jiang Ming's hand: "Alright, I swear I will never hurt my sister-in-law, okay?"

"This box of Nine-Turn Soul-Stabilizing Pills contains twenty pills. You should deliver one pill every three days. Go and deliver them yourself. If you run out, come back to me. Don't be silly and give them all at once."

Twenty pills could extend his life by sixty days. After receiving the medicine, Jiang Ming forgot the pain from the slap and, for the first time ever, whispered, "Thank you, sister."

Jiang Qi's expression turned quite unpleasant upon hearing the thank you.

Her younger brother, ever since he grew up, has always been sarcastic and sarcastic when he sees her, and he even says thank you.

This is really not a good thing.

She can incite her brother to strive for what he can't have and to become stronger, but she cannot be controlled by those things.

Emotions are the most likely thing to cause trouble.

Jiang Qi's mind raced: "Can I tell you now?"

Jiang Ming carefully put away the Nine-Turn Soul-Stabilizing Pill: "She and her father came from beyond the heavens."

The Outer Heavens... do they really exist? Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow: "How can you be sure she's not just talking nonsense?"

Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment, then took out a stack of drawing paper from his storage ring: "In the Thunder Secret Realm, she drew many pictures for me to see. These are the ones I redraw after I came out."

Jiang Qi took the drawing paper; all sorts of strange shapes were formed.

“She’s told me everything she knows, and she’s even drawn it for me. You don’t need to ask her anymore.” Jiang Ming reached out to take the drawing back, but Jiang Qi simply put it into her storage ring.

"Go back now," Jiang Qi said matter-of-factly, dismissing her younger brother. "I'll leave these blueprints with me, and I'll give them back to you once I've studied them."

……

When Shen Yao woke up again, her whole body still felt like it had been crushed, and she was in a dull ache.

She opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but she couldn't muster any strength.

The gaze shifted to the edge of the bed, where Feng Yu, with his tousled hair, was fast asleep. His black brocade mask rose and fell slightly with his breathing, and a dark bruise covered his thick eyelashes.

I don't know how long it's been since I had a proper night's sleep.

Shen Yao couldn't bear to wake him. She lay motionless on the couch, staring at the ceiling, swallowing hard, feeling an empty and uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.

The door to the side hall slid open silently, and Jiang Ming walked in quietly.

Shen Yao silently met his gaze.

She noticed that Jiang Ming's eyes had lost their ruthlessness and eccentricity, and instead held more caution and tenderness...

Shen Yao thought to herself that Jiang Ming had probably gone crazy again.

Memories from years ago flooded her mind; the bloodshed of Tu Zong Daye was still vivid in her mind, as were her junior sister, her Lu Qingqing…

And there were also faces that had shown her kindness...

The entire process of the master's life, from serious injury to death, was shown in a fast-paced, whirlwind style.

Perhaps because the resentment in her heart had been dispelled by the Immortal Venerable Miaoyin, her emotions were not greatly affected. She was just clear that she still had debts to settle with the Immortal Lord in black robes in front of her.

But now is not the time for reckoning. I never imagined that I would be so badly injured that I would have to rely on my sister to prolong my life.

From Jiang Ming's perspective, Shen Yao looked at him expressionlessly, her eyes filled with indifference.

Shen Yao remained silent, and he dared not speak either, until a rumbling sound came from Shen Yao's stomach...

The shout was a bit loud, and she clutched her stomach, afraid of waking Feng Yu.

Under her gaze, Jiang Ming turned and left. A moment later, he returned with a food box and laid it out on the table. It contained vegetable porridge and meat soup.

The aroma of food wafted over, and her stomach, which had been suppressed, began to rumble even louder...

Feng Yu was awakened by the gurgling sound. Her sleepy eyes looked at Shen Yao, then suddenly widened: "Yanzhou, you're awake!"

'Yanzhou.' Jiang Ming murmured silently as he served the porridge. Yanzhou must have been her childhood name.

"Gurgle..." Shen Yao's stomach growled again, much to her dismay.

Feng Yu helped her sit up, but she was too weak and nestled in Feng Yu's arms as she sat up.

Jiang Ming brought over a bowl, and Feng Yu reached out to take it, but Jiang Ming didn't hand it over. Instead, he sat down naturally on the edge of the couch, pretending to feed her.

Shen Yao's pupils contracted! What was going on? She turned her head to look at Feng Yu, and she was indeed in her husband's arms.

But the spoon at her lips, the bowl of porridge… she’s holding the bowl to feed her enemy… this scene is so bizarre!

She looked at the spoon and then at Jiang Ming, but wouldn't open her mouth.

Jiang Ming coldly replied, "No poison was used."

Shen Yao said softly, "I'm not eating."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his empty stomach began to rumble with hunger again.

Fearing she might go hungry, Jiang Ming handed the bowl and spoon to Feng Yu and stormed off.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Yao finally had some strength, but her body was still in pain. She tried to use her spiritual sense to check, but she couldn't release it.

I can't sense it at all, it's as if I have no consciousness.

She tried to use her spiritual power, but not only could she not feel it, her muscles and bones ached more when she tried to circulate it: "What's going on? Why can't I use my spiritual power or release my spiritual sense?"

The injury could no longer be hidden. Feng Yu pressed his chest against Shen Yao's back, his body temperature warming her tightly: "Yan Zhou, I told you, you must not get excited, otherwise your body will hurt again."

Shen Yao: "Okay, go ahead."

Feng Yu's voice was very soft, just enough for Shen Yao to hear clearly: "Your spiritual root is completely shattered, and the fragments are still inside your body. You need to keep your mind calm, otherwise the fragments will wander around and cause you severe pain."

Upon hearing that her spiritual root was completely shattered, Shen Yao's mind snapped, and only one thought filled her mind: Her spiritual root is completely shattered...

Having lived in this world for so many years, and finally becoming a celestial being, only to fail at the last moment after killing a blood demon?

Even the three spiritual roots that Master sacrificed couldn't be preserved!

She couldn't accept it for a moment, feeling as if time had stopped and she was in a daze.

Fearing his wife in his arms might get too excited, Feng Yu quickened his pace: "However, the Xuanlan Piercing Peak Turtle planted an earth spirit seed in you, which is growing inside you. Once it's fully grown, you'll be able to use earth spirit power."

"The fragments of the other six spiritual roots cannot be removed for the time being. Father said that once you grow an earth spiritual root, he will have a way to reshape your broken spiritual roots."
