Chapter 16: Dark Mark

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For a moment, Chu Qing could not confirm if this strange energy was good or bad for him. However, the spiritual body inside him began to awaken due to the injection of this pure energy. The first to awaken was his hands.

However, no matter what, he had to save Ye Qingmei. Therefore, even if there were any side effects, he could only bear them himself.

The process lasted for about an hour. With a soft sound, the poisonous needle wrapped in Chu Qing's golden spiritual energy finally disintegrated, and the last energy slowly flowed into his palm.

Phew…

Chu Qing immediately let go of his hands and leaned back. Fortunately, Ye Qingmei reacted quickly and grabbed Chu Qing with one hand to prevent him from falling.

“Is it over?”

Ye Qingmei asked anxiously.

…..

Chu Qing shook his head and said, “We have to stop here for today. I don't dare to undo all of this at once. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen.”

“It's okay. We can take it slow.”

A smile finally appeared on Ye Qingmei's face. Although she did not seem to care, she was actually very worried. She was not worried about her own life but about Ye Chenxi.

“Sorry to trouble you. Do you need anything?”

“No, I don't need anything. Ye Chenxi is my friend.”

Chu Qing shook his head. He suddenly felt an itch on his left hand. He looked down and saw a patch of pitch-black on his left hand.

His heart sank. This was the black poison from before. He did not expect it to remain in his hand. However, as Chu Qing withdrew his spiritual energy into his dantian, the black mark disappeared again.

“Oh, I forgot… You and Ye Chenxi are just friends…”

Ye Qingmei had clearly let go of her worries and started to joke around with them. Chu Qing could only smile bitterly and nod.

“Aunt Ye, um, I'll take my leave first.”

“Sure, I'll get someone to send you back. Don't worry.”

“No need. I'll take a taxi back. You need people here.”

Chu Qing's face was a little red. He suddenly remembered some novels he had read before —something about a friend's mother…

Shaking off the dirty thoughts in his mind, Chu Qing pushed open the door and Ye Chenxi hurriedly squeezed in.

“Mom, how are you?”

“I'm fine. This friend of yours is very good at medicine.”

“It's rare for boys to be so capable nowadays.” Ye Qingmei exclaimed.

She returned to her gentle and motherly self, comforting and hugging Ye Chenxi who pounced on her.

“By the way, send him off. He's leaving.”

“Mm, okay!”

Upon hearing that her mother was fine, Ye Chenxi seemed to come alive and became extremely lively again. She hugged Chu Qing from behind and pressed her chest against his back.

“Hehe, 1 didn't expect you to really…”

“It's nothing.”

Chu Qing tried to break free, but the woman behind him hugged him even tighter. He smiled and simply let her hug him.

“Why are you heading home so early? Why don't you stay with me tonight? I'll give you some rewards!”

Chu Qing was a little embarrassed. This was Ye Chenxi's true self. After resolving the crisis, this side of her was a little unbearable for him.

“No, my parents will go crazy if they find out that I'm spending the night at another girl's house…”

“Oh, that's true. After all, you're Mom and Dad's good son. You have to be careful not to be tainted by others.”

Chu Qing rolled his eyes.

Men in the Ye family could not wander around too casually. Therefore, Ye Chenxi sent him to the door. She wanted to send him home, but he rejected her.

At this time, the Ye family was short of manpower. It was really inconvenient for Ye Chenxi to leave.

Ye Chenxi did not refuse. Although she was worried about Chu Qing, she nodded in agreement. However, she reckoned that with Chu Qing's martial strength, there was really no woman who could easily subdue him.

Of course, she was also a little curious. Yesterday, Chu Qing was easily drugged by her, but today…

Forget it, maybe 1 only just started understanding him now.

Ye Chenxi was already prepared to interact with this man for a long time.

Chu Qing called for a taxi and got in. He sat cross-legged and pretended to close his eyes to rest.

However, at this moment, he had already entered a cultivation state.

Due to the additional spiritual energy today, about one-fifth of his spiritual body had been activated. If he continued to cultivate, he would probably be able to truly activate his spiritual body.

At that time, he might even be able to take on Ye Qingmei head-on. Of course, even if he couldn't defeat her, he could still escape.

A spiritual body symbolized a leap in a cultivator's abilities, which could also be said to be the foundation of a cultivator. Only by awakening a spiritual body could one start cultivating.

However, what Chu Qing was looking forward to more was something he had stored in his body…

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
