Chapter 170 - Uncontrolled Absorption

The two returned to Bai Rouyun's room. While Li Moyun wished to kiss her, he had no intention of taking it further than that. He knew that she was currently under the influence of alcohol, and what he wanted was for her to give herself to him when she was clear headed.

But considering her fidgeting body, and the teasing she was doing, he had to show her that he was not a vegetarian, that there would be some sort of punishment for her daring actions.

Bai Rouyun's eyes were full of mist as she looked at Li Moyun. There was an undisguised affection which was not usually visible, and the smile which hung on her face was so gentle that Li Moyun felt his heart melt.

He leaned forward and gently pecked her lips, unable to go through with his plan of bullying her a little. Instead, he placed her on the bed before tugging her in under the blanket.

Bai Rouyun was covered by a blanket, only her head was visible, but even so, her pitiful eyes kept staring at Li Moyun, unwavering.

A gentle chuckle escaped his lips as he reached out his hand and covered her eyes. "Don't look at me like that," he said with a bit of mirth in his voice. "I cannot hold back if you look that adorable."

Bai Rouyun frowned slightly. She was somewhat annoyed by the hand which was covering her eyes, and in doing so preventing her from looking at her most favorite person.

Bai Rouyun was like a spoiled child who had lost her voice. Her hands escaped the security of the blanket and grasped Li Moyun's hand, which was covering her eyes. She dragged it away, and one could easily see the aggravation within as she silently glanced at him, clearly blaming him for not being kind to her.

The aggravated, childish demeanor was simply too cute, and Li Moyun could not hold back a chuckle. The usually mature and steady woman became childish and innocent when she was drunk. It was quite an exciting experience.

"Do you want me to join you?" Li Moyun asked amusedly. He raised an eyebrow, and Bai Rouyun's eyes lit up in happiness before nodding her head eagerly.

It was truly a rare experience seeing Bai Rouyun like this, and Li Moyun quickly took off his outer robes before he lifted the blanket, and laid down next to his little wife.

Seeing him lay down next to her, Bai Rouyun smiled like a satisfied cat before she snuggled closer to the warm body next to her. There was no ambiguity in the air; all that one could sense was tenderness and adoration.

Li Moyun wrapped his arms around the young woman and pressed her against his body, and when he felt her soft and small palms pressing against the chest, he could feel the warmth of her hands through the fabric, and the happy expression on her face as she laid her head down on his shoulder.

Li Moyun felt quite satisfied. He had some news he wanted to tell Bai Rouyun, but her current condition was not suitable for a serious conversation.

The two were lying in one another's arms. The atmosphere was warm and soft, and the little drunk woman was beginning to doze off.

As she was slowly falling asleep, Li Moyun suddenly sensed a horrible suction force within Bai Rouyun. All the heaven and earth essence in the surroundings rushed to her body, and while she was not aware of the changes herself, Li Moyun's facial expression turned solemn.

It was not normal for a cultivator to suddenly begin such a frenzied absorption of energy without taking any medicinal pill or ingredient to increase the cultivation speed.

In fact, this should have been near impossible, and seeing Bai Rouyun's tranquil expression; Li Moyun feared that something was wrong.

She did not seem to notice the sheer amount of energy that was rushing into her body, and if she did not refine it properly, then she would not be able to continue on the path of cultivation.

When one cultivated, they would do their utmost to refine and purify their Qi. The more impurities which were within the Qi, the weaker one's attacks would become, and the more unsteady one's cultivation base would be.

Currently, it seemed as if she was not intentionally absorbing this essence, and if this was the case, how would her body be able to refine the energy? If it were left unrefined, and ended up contaminating contaminated her pure Qi, then the hard work she had put in would be lost, alongside her dreams and plans for the future.

Even so, Li Moyun did not panicwas not panicked. He gently placed a hand on Bai Rouyun's back, and tried to sense what was happening within her body.

What he found was so shocking that his calm expression changed, and his eyes widened in shock.

He had been certain that her body would not be able to refine the energy while she was intoxicated. Still, to his surprise, the energy within her body was being purified and refined at a rapid pace, one which ordinary cultivators could never rival.

She was not in a meditative state, nor was she focused on doing this. Her body was instinctively refining the essence for her, a reaction that Li Moyun had never seen before. How could her body act like this without her permission?

He looked at the petite woman in his arms and found that she had snuggled close to his side, and had fallen into a deep slumber.

Even so, her cultivation seemed to soar, the energy she absorbed was simply outstanding, and Li Moyun raised his hand, creating a barrier that covered the entire mansion.

Many had sensed the unrest in the energy, but now no one could find out where it was heading to.
