Ye Ran gently stroked his chin. "Given this, do you have any other desires?"
"As long as I can stay by the Holy Son's side..."
"Except for that."
"My forehead..."
Ah Qin pondered.
In the past ten years, she has been like a shadow, living solely for Ye Ran and never considering her own needs.
"If possible, Ah Qin wishes to cultivate immortality." After a long pause, she responded.
"Oh?"
Ye Ran smiled. "What's the reason? Do you want to become stronger or live longer?"
Cultivating immortality typically serves one of these two purposes.
Ah Qin shook her head and explained, "Neither. I simply want to be a useful person, to serve the Holy Son always."
Ye Ran fell silent.
Unexpectedly, this girl's only wish was to remain by his side.
"But it's just a lofty wish." Ah Qin laughed at herself. "When I was tested for aptitude as a child, my potential was very average, and I couldn't practice at all."
Ye Ran hesitated upon hearing this.
"What if I can grant you aptitude?"
"Ah?"
Ah Qin was stunned.
Ye Ran extended his hands, and two clusters of light appeared in his palms.
One was pink, and the other was silver-white, hovering silently in the air.
System rewards could be given to anyone and withdrawn at any time, so Ye Ran had no concerns.
"What is this?" Ah Qin looked curious. Ye Ran briefly explained.
"Dual cultivation?!"
Ah Qin's face turned red, and her eyes sparkled.
Though she was a mortal, she understood the implications of these two words.
How embarrassing!
"Uh, while it's this kind of constitution, it doesn't necessarily involve dual cultivation. In terms of talent and cultivation speed, it's second to none in the world." Ye Ran explained, feeling a little awkward.
He simply wanted to help Ah Qin, nothing else.
And changing her constitution was the only way for her to practice.
"I'm willing!" Ah Qin said it without hesitation.
Ye Ran cautioned, "But I must remind you, I can grant you this constitution, but I can also revoke it at any time. If I do, you'll die. Are you still willing?"
"Of course. If you wish to part, the previous offer stands and I'll ensure everything is arranged properly."
Ah Qin replied without hesitation, "I choose to cultivate!"
"Even if it costs you your life?"
"Um!"
Ah Qin nodded, smiling.
It seemed to her that this was a joyful event.
Looking at her radiant smile, Ye Ran couldn't help but be taken aback.
Then he sighed and ruffled her hair.
"Silly girl."
"Son..."
Ah Qin narrowed her eyes, savoring this contact.
...
Ye Ran pressed the red light cluster into Ah Qin's body.
With no resistance at all, her body transformed rapidly; the previous dark wounds and scars melted away, leaving her skin smooth as brocade.
Her eyes gained a bit more allure, like water.
In just a short while, she transformed into an extremely rare "Girl Spiritual Marrow Body."
Ye Ran then imparted the "Xuanji Light Sutra" to her.
From that moment on, Ah Qin officially embarked on the path of cultivation.
"Alright, this constitution and cultivation technique align very well; you can practice according to this technique, and you'll quickly enter the Qi refining period." Ye Ran advised
"Okay."
Ah Qin bit her lip and reached out to unbutton her clothes.
Ye Ran was taken aback. "What are you doing?"
"Practicing."
Ah Qin responded matter-of-factly, "Didn't you say I should cultivate according to the technique? That's what the Xuanji Light Sutra instructs."
She continued her actions.
"Stop!"
Ye Ran hastily halted her.
Geez, this girl was eager to jump into action.
When had he suffered this kind of grievance?
Seeing this, Ah Qin believed Ye Ran disliked her.
She looked a little disappointed and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry; it was reckless of Ah Qin. I understand now. How could I catch the Holy Son's eye with my insignificant appearance?"
Boom!
Ye Ran lightly tapped her head.
"Muddled girl."
"Master..."
Ah Qin squinted her eyes, relishing this contact.
...
Ye Ran went on, "This constitution and cultivation technique are a good fit. You can practice according to the cultivation technique, and you'll swiftly enter the Qi refining period."
"Got it."
Ah Qin obediently accepted his guidance and instructions.
Ye Ran watched her go, a wry smile on his face.
Ah Qin was originally a beautiful woman, but after transforming into a Girl Spiritual Marrow Body, her every move exuded charm; even Ye Ran found it difficult to resist.
This was just the beginning; as her cultivation advanced, just a glance from her would be mesmerizing!
"Remember, don't tell anyone about this. Focus on your practice," Ye Ran reminded.
Ah Qin clenched her small fists and said firmly, "Understood. Ah Qin will work diligently on cultivation and strive for early dual cultivation with Master Holy Son."
Ye Ran was shocked all over again.
If this sentiment reached Leng Wuyan's ears, with her jealous nature, Ah Qin might contemplate reincarnation.
"Alright, work hard in your practice."
"Got it."
Ah Qin returned to her room, sat in the Lotus Position, and earnestly practiced the Xuanji Light Sutra.
At this time, the power of the girl's spiritual marrow body began to manifest.
With the operation of the cultivation technique, a vision of a mysterious girl emerged all around Ah Qin, giving off a mystical appearance.
However, she paid no heed and diligently focused on running the cultivation technique.
For her, this was merely a task assigned by her master.
