Every disciple who cultivated in Kunlun needed great perseverance.
Besides Long Qi before him, Ye Feihua, Han Qingmian, Yi Feifei, and Ye Kunlun’s other senior sisters all had to undergo extremely rigorous training and cultivation after ascending the mountain.
However, putting that aside, the pain Ye Kunlun experienced soaking in the Marrow Cleansing Soup, as if his entire body’s meridians were being kneaded and reshaped, was something ordinary people could not endure!
Therefore, Ye Kunlun felt for Long Qi and believed in her!
After all, to completely shatter the Stone Meridian, the Wan Gu Xing Chen Jue was currently the only method to break through it!
Time quietly slipped by.
Long Qi’s face was pale, and the pain left her somewhat weak, yet she gritted her teeth and continued to persevere!
“Just a little more!”
Ye Kunlun’s eyes showed a hint of impatience. The Wan Gu Xing Chen Jue finally broke through the last bit of the petrified Ren Du meridians!
Instantly, spiritual energy surged from his Dantian, circulating through the Ren Du meridians and slowly beginning to operate.
Long Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Her tense consciousness relaxed, and she fell asleep.
“Senior Sister!”
Ye Kunlun waved his hand, dispersing the thirty-six spiritual energy needles. He then supported Long Qi, letting her lie down slowly.
Looking at Long Qi, who was frowning, Ye Kunlun’s face showed concern. He wondered how Long Qi had endured these years.
If he had known from the beginning that Long Qi had suffered a bloodline curse since childhood, he would have rushed to help her the moment she came down the mountain.
Even coming a day earlier would have reduced her suffering.
Ye Kunlun gently wiped Long Qi’s forehead and carefully tucked her in before rising and leaving the tent.
Uncle Long had been waiting there all along. Seeing Ye Kunlun emerge, he hurried forward and asked with concern, “How is it?”
“The Stone Meridian has been temporarily opened, but to resolve it completely, her bloodline curse must be dispelled.”
Ye Kunlun frowned and explained to Uncle Long.
He hadn’t thought of a way to dispel the curse yet.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Long breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good to solve the Stone Meridian problem first. We can think about the bloodline curse later.”
Speaking of which, Uncle Long sighed with emotion. “What surprises me is that I never expected you to be her junior brother. It seems you also come from that place. No wonder your strength is so monstrous.”
Ye Kunlun was somewhat speechless. What did he mean by monstrous? He was strong!
“You know?” Ye Kunlun asked sternly. kuAiδugg
Of those who knew about Kunlun Void, besides his senior sisters, there shouldn’t be anyone else.
“I only know that there is such a place where China’s strongest reside. I don’t know what it’s called or where it is!”
Uncle Long replied frankly.
Ye Kunlun had many questions to ask Uncle Long. While Long Qi was still asleep, he asked, “Boss Long, why is my Senior Sister here? Didn’t she join the Heavenly Ear?”
Uncle Long thought for a moment, then shook his head. “You can ask her yourself when she wakes up. It’s not convenient for me to say more.”
“She’s royalty, right?” Ye Kunlun changed his question when he saw Uncle Long wouldn’t answer.
Uncle Long nodded.
Ye Kunlun felt a touch of emotion. He had guessed it the moment he saw Uncle Long.
Although Uncle Long was just an ordinary martial artist, the bloodline aura within him bore some resemblance to the Cold Mountain King and North Mountain King he had met.
If he couldn’t even discern this, his years of cultivation would have been in vain.
However, Ye Kunlun felt it had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t expose Uncle Long’s identity.
This was until he met Long Qi and confirmed her royal status.
“Then you must be one of the Twelve Kings?” Ye Kunlun, seeing that Uncle Long wasn’t saying more, continued to ask to himself.
Uncle Long nodded again and smiled teasingly. “I didn’t expect you to be strong, but you’re also so smart.”
“I heard you crippled the Black Mountain King. You even dared to cripple a King, haven’t you thought about the royal family making a move against you?”
Ye Kunlun shrugged, his face full of pride. “A mere king is nothing in my eyes.”
Uncle Long felt offended, but he wasn’t angry.
“I’m just curious about Senior Sister Long Qi’s identity, to have a King secretly stay in the capital for her.”
Ye Kunlun looked intently at Uncle Long, trying to discern something from his expression.
“Ask her yourself when she wakes up,” Uncle Long said, shaking his head. “For now, I’ll leave her in your care. After you leave, come find me at Hui Chun Tang. I’ll give you the Dragon Grass!”
With that, Uncle Long left through the teleportation array.
Ye Kunlun returned to the tent and sat by the bed, looking at the sleeping Long Qi. He gently held her hand and slowly channeled spiritual energy into her body.
Although Long Qi’s Stone Meridian had been temporarily opened, the bloodline curse remained, and she would re-petrify after some time.
He had to find a way to resolve the bloodline petrification as soon as possible.
Also, he needed to ask Long Qi clearly about the origin of the bloodline curse when she woke up!
Back then, he had saved the brother and sister duo, Wu Jiuming and Wu Lingxiang. Wu Lingxiang also had the curse power left by the Witch God within her.
Later, Ye Kunlun had expelled the curse power from her body using the small black bell obtained from Antique Street and the power of the ring on his hand.
Ye Kunlun also wanted to try if he could expel the bloodline curse within Long Qi’s body using the power of the ring on his hand.
Unfortunately, each time, the black ring reacted on its own, and Ye Kunlun couldn't utilize its power at all.
Ye Kunlun thought about studying the ring on his hand further, as it was related to ‘longevity.’ Everything that had happened to him started with it.
At this moment, Long Qi’s fingers twitched, as if sensing the warm power in Ye Kunlun’s hand.
“Senior Sister,” Ye Kunlun called out softly.
Hearing Ye Kunlun’s voice while in a daze, Long Qi’s eyelashes trembled. The next second, she opened her eyes.
The petrified half of her face had also slowly begun to recover the moment Ye Kunlun opened her Ren Du meridians.
It had now returned to normal. Her clear, agile eyes gazed lovingly at Ye Kunlun, who was sitting by the bed.
“Little scoundrel,” Long Qi said, her voice like a fragrant breeze. “Help me up.”
Ye Kunlun carefully helped Long Qi sit up. His broad hand felt Long Qi’s somewhat slender back, and he couldn’t help but feel concerned.
Long Qi, however, felt a different sensation. After all, Ye Kunlun was a mature man, and in his prime.
Coupled with Ye Kunlun’s pure Yang energy, Long Qi couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.
“Senior Sister, you’ve lost more weight than when you were on the mountain,” Ye Kunlun said with concern. “You should eat more in the future and become plump.”
Hearing this, Long Qi chuckled. “Who tells a girl to become plump?”
“I don’t mind if Senior Sister is plump,” Ye Kunlun said with a smile.
Looking at Ye Kunlun’s face, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Long Qi said with emotion, “Little scoundrel, you’re learning to flirt.”
Ye Kunlun grinned. “That depends on who I’m flirting with. I’m not a casual person.”
“I’ve heard that you’re betrothed to the seven great families of the capital, and you have two confidantes in Qingcheng. Even Qian Dongchao’s daughter has feelings for you, and she even said that she herself…”
Long Qi said with a hint of jealousy.
Before she could finish, she realized something.
“Senior Sister, can you tell me about your identity now?”
Ye Kunlun stared at Long Qi and asked.
