Chapter 15: Strange Aqin
Chapter 15: Strange Aqin
Li Ran sank his mind into his sea of consciousness. The Heaven Seizing Cultivation Method was still circulating, and the profound symbols on the amethyst figure illuminated brighter.
Li Ran clearly felt that his cultivation had slightly increased, and his mind had become clearer. Even his soul had improved by a bit.
All this process happened in the span of a day!
Moreover, cultivation through the Heaven Seizing Cultivation Method was even more effective than cultivating manually.
"F*ck, this effect is too great!" Li Ran was speechless.
Even when he was lying down, he still became stronger?
A comfortable power-up!
Of course, breaking through one's realm wasn't something that could be achieved by just cultivating. One’s opportunity, comprehension, and talent were indispensable.
When he reached the latest stage of the Golden Core realm, he still needed to find an opportunity to break through.

Aqin massaged Li Ran. Seeing him close his eyes to rest, her eyes were a little confused.
For some reason, she felt that Li Ran had changed a little. Although he was still that same Sheng Zi, his smile became kinder and his eyes became gentler. Occasionally, he would even reveal a trace of guilt.
He even pinched her face last time…

This was something that he would never have done before. Most importantly, Li Ran hadn’t beaten her for the last half month.
"Perhaps Sheng Zi is in a good mood lately?" Aqin could not think of any other answers.
No matter what, such a change made her happy.
Looking at the bruises on Li Ran's body, Aqin felt a bit distressed and indignant.
"The sect master really is cold. Does she have to spar with him in order to guide his cultivation? Furthermore, she is so heavy-handed!"
"Huh?" Li Ran was jolted awake by her words and stopped circulating his Heaving Seizing Cultivation method.
The moment he opened his eyes, his pupils shone with golden light. Aqin felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and she felt an intense pressure emanating from him. It was as if the person in front of her wasn't Sheng Zi, but a heavenly deity!
Aqin's knees couldn’t help going limp and she collapsed to the ground instinctively.
"I'm sorry, I bothered you, lord Sheng Zi!" She laid prostrate on the ground, her body trembling.
She thought what she said about the sect master had enraged Li Ran.
Li Ran was stunned and shook his head. "Get up. I'm not angry."
Aqin stood up but didn't dare to raise her head.
Li Ran helplessly said, "If you don't get up, I’ll really be angry."
Hearing this, Aqin stood up trembling. Her head was still lowered, and she did not dare to look at him.
Li Ran shook his head and sighed.
What sin had the previous body owner done!
He made a decision in the end.
He raised his body from the tub, and the water droplets on his body instantly evaporated.
After changing his clothes, he walked towards the bedroom.
"Come with me."
"Yes." Aqin lowered her head and carefully followed him.

In the bedroom, Li Ran sat on a chair while Aqin stood opposite him.
"Aqin, how long have you been with me?"
"It's been ten years since I first served Sheng Zi," Aqin replied in a low voice.
"Since I entered the Youlou Temple at the age of eight, you have been following me for ten years." Li Ran sighed. "Since your Shen family was exterminated by the Li family, you don't even have a surname. I have been extremely strict with you… Shen Qin, do you hate me?"
"Aqin doesn't dare!" Her body trembled and she was about to kneel down, but she was held up by an invisible force. Her knees couldn't bend down at all.
"Sheng Zi?" Aqin raised her head in fear.
"Over the past ten years, you've taken good care of me. You’ve worked hard." Li Ran took a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Aqin.
"Sheng Zi, what do you mean?" Aqin was puzzled.
"You are free. Take this money. I'll help you arrange your identity. I'll also inform the Li family. You don't need to worry about your family being implicated.”
"Leave the mountain and live your own life," Li Ran said seriously.
He knew that his actions were too different from before. Originally, he wanted to change things slowly, but Aqin's reaction made him feel more and more guilty.
Moreover, if there was a person who hated him that was constantly around him, it would make him also feel uncomfortable. Therefore, Li Ran decided to quickly fix the mess.
However, Aqin didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, her face turned pale and she said with a trembling voice, "Sheng Zi, don't you want Aqin?"
"Huh?" Li Ran was stunned.
"Sheng Zi, Aqin is wrong. Please don’t drive Aqin away!" Aqin knelt in front of him and begged bitterly.
"If you're not happy, you can beat Aqin to vent your anger, but please don't drive me away! Aqin really can't leave you!"
"Huh?" Li Ran was dumbfounded.
What is the situation? She had suffered a lot before. Now that she could leave, shouldn't she be very happy?
Could it be that I didn't give her enough money?
Li Ran wanted to give her some more, but a famous idiom stated that an innocent person would become guilty for getting too much wealth.
"But judging from her appearance, it doesn't seem like the money is not enough."
Aqin didn't seem to hate him but was relying on him to the extreme.
"Ah, this…"
"Sheng Zi, please don’t leave me behind! I’ll do whatever you want!” Aqin's face was pale and her expression was begging.
"…" Li Ran scratched his head.
Why do I feel a little ashamed…
"Get up. I won’t chase you away."
"Really? Really?"
"Yes……"
"Thank you, Sheng Zi!" After she was certain, Aqin smiled, her tears still stone at the corner of her eyes.
