Chapter 84: Watch Closely, This Is How Your Body Should Be Used
Even in the original game, Lin Zhongyu’s rage-filled power-up scenes were rare. And each time she went all out, it was typically within the context of her specific storyline.
But now, the first female lead was going all out for a yellow-haired guy.
“Little Yu, what’s going on with you…”
Mu Jixue was stunned; this was the first time she saw Lin Zhongyu this furious—golden flames bursting from her as if they could burn down the heavens to vent her anger.
She knew Lin Zhongyu had special feelings for Yun Zhonghe, but she never expected it to be this intense.
Little Yu had never been that mad for me before.
Still, Mu Jixue kept a clear head. Even though her heart felt like it was being eaten by vinegar, she stayed calm.
“Cloudy, stop lying down like that; I know you’re not dead.”
Mu Jixue quickly ran to Yun Zhonghe and tried to shake him awake.
“What are you doing to Young Master Yun, Miss Mu!”
Qin Hongye was outraged seeing Mu Jixue rough up Yun Zhonghe.
But before she could approach, a massive wave from Lin Zhongyu and the Black Shadow’s battle broke through the ground, creating a huge crack that separated Mu Jixue and Qin Hongye from the rest.
A tiny pebble flew, hitting Xiao Hu’s b*tt and causing him to roll around in pain.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch! My poor rump!!!”
His face was already swollen, and now his b*tt was hurting too.
Not just Qin Hongye and Xiao Hu, even other cultivators rushed to seek shelter.
This fight was on a totally different level than what they were used to.
Lin Zhongyu was going all out—her punches and kicks with golden flames striking home, seemingly suppressing the Black Shadow.
But Mu Jixue could see it: Lin Zhongyu couldn’t last much longer—her condition was rapidly deteriorating.
If this kept up, she’d lose to that Black Shadow.
“Wake up, Yun Zhonghe! Little Yu is in danger!”
Mu Jixue anxiously called to the fallen Yun Zhonghe. She wanted to help Lin Zhongyu but realized her heart was racing too fast to get close.
Just the shockwaves of the battle made it impossible.
Yet she felt, somehow, Yun Zhonghe must have a solution!
Reluctantly admitting it, Yun Zhonghe did come through in dire situations before.
So…
“Please, wake up and help me.”
Her voice cracked. Seeing no response from Yun Zhonghe, who had closed his eyes, she sadly dropped her head, resting on his chest.
“Cough, cough! You can’t do that! You’re the protagonist; sometimes you gotta make your own breaks instead of relying on others.”
Yun Zhonghe’s weak voice echoed overhead.
Mu Jixue froze, looking up into his deep green eyes.
“Alright, since we’re linked, if you can’t handle it, I’ll step in!”
Yun Zhonghe woke up!
He wasn’t actually dead, despite the crimson spirit energy hitting him earlier. Thanks to his quick thinking—he used the Golden Sword to block it and injected his spirit energy into it, barely escaping d*ath.
But he still didn’t feel great; his heart almost stopped.
Luckily, his mental energy was strong enough to keep him breathing even while unconscious.
Waking up, he saw Lin Zhongyu go all out against the Black Shadow boss; the entire house was covered in golden flames.
Yun Zhonghe stretched his hand, touching the nearby golden flame, unharmed but feeling no heat.
“Golden Imperial Heaven Blaze?”
Weirdly, this should be too early for Lin Zhongyu to awaken the Golden Imperial Heaven Blaze skills. Plus, conditions aren’t right for a dramatic turn of events, and Huang Aotian seemed fine.
Could it be… she went berserk for the sake of my yellow hair?
That would be really strange!
But the white-haired little girl looked desperate, so maybe not.
“Careless, didn’t expect this remote town to have two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators among which one is a half-step Yuan Ying.”
“Miss Lin is bursting with potential, but looks like she won’t last long. If she loses power, she may drop right here.”
Yun Zhonghe was speechless at how things escalated.
Neither Huang Aotian nor the female lead should perish.
Desperately grabbing Yun Zhonghe’s wrist, Mu Jixue pleaded, “Is there any way to break out? You surely know something, anything!”
Yun Zhonghe stared intently, making Mu Jixue’s heart jump.
“You sure about this? Fine, turn around, facing away from me. Don’t look back.”
Mu Jixue sensed something was off, trying to retract her statement, “Wait, wait! You wouldn’t do anything weird, would you?”
“Odd things? Focus! This isn’t the time for games.”
Yun Zhonghe lightly knocked her head, prompting a pitiful “awoo!” sound.
She revealed her sharp little teeth, clearly misunderstanding what Yun Zhonghe said.
Yun Zhonghe had several solutions to the problem but hesitated, given its severity. He had to be careful.
The most promising solution? Have Mu Jixue tap into her hidden powers.
She hadn’t figured out how to use her body yet, but if done properly, her potential could be huge.
Fortunately, Yun Zhonghe understood her physiology better than anyone.
Learn, Mu Jixue, this is how your body should be used!
“My spirit energy will enter your meridians, focusing on the Sky Point in your lower abdomen; it holds your secret powers. I’ll stimulate and guide them for you.”
“This force should save Miss Lin and even beat the half-step Yuan Ying demonic cultivator. It might have some side effects though, you need to prepare yourself.”
As Yun Zhonghe explained, Mu Jixue’s cheeks flushed red.
Wait, why does he know my body so well?!
Mu Jixue realized a blind spot in her knowledge.
