My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Ah...it's alright, but Leng Yihan, you owe me a huge favor." Lu Youmei was very calm after recovering, but her speed of absorbing soul energy became even more outrageous.

"Hmm... I'll remember this favor." Leng Yihan said, "But... what exactly happened to you? What hurt you like that?"

"I can't go into specifics, but you just need to know that we broke into the secluded training ground of a powerful figure. Then she got angry and wanted to kill you. I had no choice but to risk coming out to protect you. Although the powerful figure's anger subsided in the end, I was beaten to the point of near death. Afterwards, she seemed to erase your memories and then let you go." Lu Youmei's memory stopped at the point where she was beaten to the point of near death. The rest of the content was what Lu Youmei deduced from Leng Yihan's life after she was alive.

"..." I'm not dead?

Leng Yihan couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky to be alive...

"However, I'll use this Soul Relic to compensate you for one-fifth of this favor." Lu Youmei smiled, seemingly in a good mood.

“…” Leng Yihan didn’t speak; she didn’t know how to respond.

Why are you suddenly so reserved?

"No... I just suddenly feel sorry for you." Leng Yihan said, "Although I don't remember... my intuition tells me that there's an 80% chance we went to explore that place because of me. The thought that I almost caused your death makes me feel uneasy. How can I tell you this under these circumstances..."

"...You actually have such feelings?" Lu Youmei asked in shock.

"..." Leng Yihan looked annoyed: "What kind of person am I in your heart..."

"Shameless...loves to complain, loves to deliver jabs, is cute, easily embarrassed, often extremely shameless, and when dealing with enemies, he's all about recklessness..."

"Does he/she have a positive image?"

"Isn't she cute?"

“…I’d better focus on my cultivation.” Leng Yihan closed her eyes.

She's still a little unaccustomed to it and needs some time to adjust. She really feels a bit sorry for Lu Youmei...

"...I think I have a new impression of you now."

Leng Yihan chose to ignore it and immersed herself in cultivation.

"Hasn't he come back yet?" Leng Binglan looked anxiously at the seabed.

Although Leng Yihan had sent back messages before, it's been so long... it's still not safe.

Should I go down and take a look?

"Wait." Qing appeared behind Leng Binglan. It was too easy to tell what Leng Binglan was thinking.

"?"

"Wait a minute," Qing repeated, "soon."

She had a feeling it was about time.

“…Then we’ll wait. If they don’t come back by noon tomorrow, we’ll go down and find out what happened to them,” Leng Binglan said.

"Mm." Qing nodded.

And so they waited, and it really did come to noon.

"We really should go down and look for them—"

A blue light flashed from the seabed and shot out of the seabed in an instant.

Leng Zhenmo and Leng Yihan returned to the ship.

"Let's go, we can continue our voyage."

"So, did you find what you needed?" Leng Binglan asked.

"Yes, the medicinal herbs and the things to treat Lin Yin... we've found them all." Leng Yihan smiled. "Now we just have to wait for the right opportunity for Lin Yin to be released."

Suddenly, the air fell silent.

"Hey... what's the meaning of this? I feel like this atmosphere is a bit strange..."

"Because of the poison milk... can we wait for this opportunity?" Leng Binglan's tone was strange.

"I hope it's not a curse..." Qing closed her eyes, offering a sweet prayer.

“…That would be best.” Leng Zhenmo.

"Alright, alright... Let's go, let's continue. I'm going back to my room to rest for a bit; exploring the ruins took quite a bit of effort," Leng Yihan said.

For some reason, the atmosphere still felt strange.

What exactly happened...?

How did this happen...? I didn't even notice.

Lu Youmei's voice suddenly rang out.

Leng Yihan:? ? ?

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Lu Youmei did not say what had happened.

For some reason, Leng Yihan suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly ran back to her room, where there was a mirror.

The moment Leng Yihan stepped in front of the mirror, she fell silent, then slowly reached behind her and grabbed her hair.

Why did my shoulder-length hair suddenly grow longer?

Why did my hair suddenly become long and neat without my noticing?

Why……

I feel like I'm becoming more like a girl?! What happened?!

Leng Yihan's mind raced.

Back when we were in the Soul Ruins, after I finished cultivating, the spirit of the temple appeared again and gave me a Phoenix Pill that could heal all wounds, and then it did nothing else...

And when I came out, I had already collected the last herb needed to advance to the ninth rank of the first grade...

But why, why did it turn out like this...? It looks more like a girl now!!! It wasn't like this inside the ruins! Why is it like this!!!

Leng Yihan stiffly put down the mirror, turned around, walked to the bed, casually took off her coat and put it aside, then crawled into the quilt, shivering.

[I don't know either... My senses were partially blocked in that sea, so I didn't notice anything at all, not even Leng Zhenmo, who was right next to you...]

It's all a dream... a dream...

Then Leng Yihan closed her eyes.

Three minutes later...

This isn't a dream!!!

I'm really starting to look more and more like a girl!!!

Leng Yihan suddenly sat up in bed.

"This can't go on! I need to cultivate! I need to become a mighty man!"

That's the decision... Let's break through now!

385 The Cave of the Gods (53)

[Just give up. I feel like the more you practice, the more girlish you'll become. Maybe you'll turn into a girl before long.]

Lu Youmei delivered the finishing blow.

Who's really better at finishing off enemies?! Please stop hurting me!!!

Cold. Today, the soul within me pierces my heart. I will remember this grudge. Yihan.

[Anyway, I'm pretty sure that even if you train harder, you'll never become a real man. At best, you'll stay the same, and maybe you'll even become more like a girl. When you reach a certain level, you might just turn into a girl.]

Lu Youmei delivered the finishing blow 2.

【…】

Cold. Sooner or later she'll turn into a cute girl. Yi Han.

I suddenly don't want to cultivate anymore.

Leng Yihan muttered to herself.

There is no turning back on the path of cultivation, whether it's the eighteenth level or the ninth rank, it's all the same.

Plum blossoms in the dew.

Leng Yihan fell silent. After a long while, she stood up and left the room. Every step she took was heavy. Finally, she stood sadly at the bow of the ship, her eyes gazing blankly at the sea.

"Brother... seems a little disappointed?"

"There's nothing I can do... This is something Yihan has always wanted to avoid mentioning, but this time it's become even more serious."

Qing and Leng Binglan were talking in hushed tones.

I heard your conversation...

Cold. Life is meaningless. I'm left feeling cold.

“Hoo…” Leng Zhenmo exhaled a deep breath. “How is it? How is this technique?” Dian Ling said with a hint of pride. At this moment, she was still appearing beside Leng Zhenmo in her original form.

"...Hmm, very impressive. It seems to be a ninth-grade or higher cultivation technique. I'll give it to Yihan to appraise later," Leng Zhenmo said softly.

"Huh?" Dian Ling was dumbfounded: "Wait... you actually know about the ninth rank? No... you're actually going to show such a high-level cultivation technique to others?! Are you kidding me?!"

"I am now... the master of the 'Soul God Temple,' haven't I? You yourself have admitted it." Leng Zhenmo said calmly, "I have the right to make my own choice, don't I?"

"My God... Does that mean that advanced cultivation techniques in modern times are already the kind that can be appreciated by anyone? Why would you have such a thought?" Dian Ling looked utterly devastated.

“No, it’s just that Yi Han… is a very important person to me,” Leng Zhenmo said after a pause.

"You like her? You're a lesbian? No... her real gender is male?" The spirit of the palace keenly sensed something.

“No.” Leng Zhenmo shook her head: “It’s just… the person I like likes her.”

As she uttered these words, Leng Zhenmo's eyes dimmed.

Um...did I accidentally hurt her feelings? How should I comfort her?

"Haha... Little Demon, the person you like just likes her, they're not really in love with her..."
