In a short while, Nan Gong Huan carved out a small spirit-gathering array, large enough for the three of them to sit inside.

  Instantly, spiritual energy surged upward, growing denser within the barrier.

  Nan Gong Huan also carved a shielding barrier around the outer edge to prevent anyone from noticing their activities and interrupting them.

  "This is a spirit-gathering potion. It speeds up the absorption of spiritual energy and works perfectly with this array. One bottle each," Nan Gong Huan generously handed out two bottles of potion, eager to finish quickly.

  "Thank you, Ah Huan," the siblings said excitedly. They had already decided to cling tightly to Ah Huan’s coattails!

  "Let’s begin," Nan Gong Huan sat cross-legged on the array and started absorbing the spirit veins!

  "Take it slow, don’t choke!" Ye Wan Jun quickly sat down as well. His sister had mentioned that she was absorbing spirit veins, so he had to speed up his absorption rate, or he might not even get the scraps!

  Ye Sang cautiously scanned the surroundings, instructing the Cui Gu Heavenly Bird to hide in the trees and keep watch before sitting down in the array to begin absorbing.

  Three hours passed.

  In the distant sky, three massive Cang Yue Eagles suddenly appeared.

  One flew in front, carrying a man and a woman, while the other two followed behind as escorts, each with two guards standing on them.

  The man’s right hand was restless, eyeing the woman’s back as if he wanted to touch her. After hesitating for a while, he didn’t even dare to touch her clothes, his face wearing a lecherous smile.

  The woman was a cute little loli, looking around with curiosity. She was petite, with a thick braid and a beautiful flower crown on her head, giving off an adorable and innocent vibe.

  "Qing Qing, we’ve arrived," Cui Zhejian said with a sly smile, finally mustering the courage to place his hand on the loli’s shoulder, gently caressing it, his face filled with satisfaction.

  The little loli, Yun Qing Qing, glanced at his restless hand and lightly swatted it away. To everyone’s shock, his hand was dislocated!

  "Ow!" Cui Zhejian let out a pig-like squeal, his fingers now limp, the bones seemingly shattered into pieces.

  The little loli looked at him sideways, as if startled, and apologized with a regretful expression, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."

  What a freakishly strong girl!

  "It’s fine, it’s fine," Cui Zhejian forced an ugly smile, on the verge of tears.

  "Let me help you," the little loli placed one hand on his shoulder and the other on his arm. But with just a slight tug—without even using much force—his shoulder was crushed, and his arm wasn’t just dislocated but completely torn off...

  Blood gushed out, and Cui Zhejian let out another blood-curdling scream!

  Stolen novel; please report.

  "Ow—" It was even worse than a pig being slaughtered.

  "I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to," the little loli panicked. She tried to reattach the arm, but instead, she jammed the exposed bone straight into his flesh...

  She clumsily wrapped a bandage around it, while Cui Zhejian passed out from the pain.

  The little loli held the bandage, at a loss, and could only keep apologizing, "I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to, I’m sorry..."

  The guards behind them were terrified, their heads almost flying off! They quickly jumped to Cui Zhejian’s side, treating his wounds and feeding him several potions, barely saving his life.

  Soon, Cui Zhejian slowly regained consciousness. Seeing the little loli beside him, her eyes filled with concern, his pain turned into a wave of infatuation.

  As long as he could spend a night with this little loli, the pain was worth it.

  "Let me help you sit up," the little loli reached out, but Cui Zhejian immediately shot up, full of energy.

  "No need, no need, I can do it myself, haha," Cui Zhejian forced a laugh, a bit scared of her outstretched hands.

  If she helped him again, his other arm might be gone too...

  Suddenly, Cui Zhejian noticed the scenery below and immediately smiled. "Didn’t you like spirit veins? I specially bought this mountain land for you. There are twelve spirit veins here, all yours! As long as Qing Qing has a drink with me..."

  As he spoke, Cui Zhejian’s eyes wandered to her delicate neck, his lust still burning, his expression suggestive.

  "There are no spirit veins here," Yun Qing Qing glanced at the emerald peaks below and sensed the emptiness underground, feeling a bit disappointed.

  Perhaps there had been spirit veins before, but now they were completely drained.

  "None? How is that possible?" Cui Zhejian looked down. He had just bought this land for Qing Qing!

  At that moment, one of the guards shouted, "Young Master, there seems to be someone over there on that mountain!"

  Following the guard’s direction, Cui Zhejian saw three people on the mountain, acting suspiciously, not knowing what they were up to!

  "Chase them down for me!" Cui Zhejian barked fiercely, his hand reaching out to pull Yun Qing Qing into his arms but quickly retracting it halfway.

  "Qing Qing, don’t worry. It must be those three who did something. I’ll go teach them a lesson!" Cui Zhejian spoke with righteous indignation.

  But Yun Qing Qing just said, "Oh," her brows furrowing as she gave Cui Zhejian a suspicious look. She wasn’t stupid. Was he using others as scapegoats?

  Meanwhile, the three of them had already stood up. The spirit veins had been completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.

  "Ah Huan, you’re just..." not human! Ye Sang didn’t say the last three words, but her expression showed her shock.

  Twelve spirit veins, and almost all of them were absorbed by her!

  Nan Gong Huan’s aura had reached the peak of the second spiritual life, but her spiritual platform wasn’t fully saturated yet. She needed at least two more spirit veins. Nan Gong Huan sighed softly. The second spiritual platform was even more demanding than the first.

  The siblings also gained a lot. With the help of the spirit-gathering potion, Ye Wan Jun even drank a promotion potion and successfully advanced to the early stage of the second spiritual life, while Ye Sang reached the late stage of the third spiritual life.

  "Woo," the Cui Gu Heavenly Bird called out softly, signaling that someone was approaching.

  The three of them looked over and saw three Cang Yue Eagles swiftly descending, landing on the mountain. Six people jumped down from them.

  "What are you sneaking around on my land for!" Cui Zhejian put on a commanding presence, trying to impress the little loli and show off his extraordinary charm!

  But when he saw Nan Gong Huan’s stunning beauty, his confidence wavered. Hmm, a loli or a beauty? Why not both!

  Cui Zhejian’s smile turned lecherous again.

  "Just passing by," Nan Gong Huan replied calmly, refusing to admit anything.

  Yun Qing Qing’s eyes locked onto Nan Gong Huan, sparkling with excitement. The spiritual energy on this sister... it’s so dense! Even more than a spirit vein!

  Without thinking, Yun Qing Qing stepped forward, coming close to Nan Gong Huan, almost pressing against her body. She stood on her tiptoes, her nose brushing against Nan Gong Huan’s collarbone, taking a deep breath.

  "Sister, you smell so good."

  "......"

  Nan Gong Huan felt the little loli’s breath on her collarbone and felt a bit uncomfortable, but she resisted the urge to slap her.

  The little loli was strangely cute, and her gaze was pure, just an honest and sincere compliment.

  Cui Zhejian, however, was getting excited. Such a beauty! If the three of them could... it would be... he couldn’t wait!
