The Power of Moon's Lament!
Gu Yuena repeated the name for a while before her lips curled into a slight smile as she agreed.
"Alright, let's call it the Power of Moon's Lament then!"
Qian Renshang grinned broadly, watching Gu Yuena as he quietly suggested.
"Ah..."
Gu Yuena's eyes widened.
She had almost forgotten this important matter.
It seemed that the Power of Moon's Lament required close contact between her and Qian Renshang, meaning... there had to be physical contact.
This... this was too awkward! "
Sister Nana... what are you still hesitating for?
I just felt it, this Power of Moon's Lament seems to be able to heal your injuries."
Qian Renshang said with an air of righteous indignation.
Gu Yuena's lips twitched, and then she said irritably.
"Alright, but no hugging... I just tested it, and after activating the Moon's Grief Power for the first time, we can still circulate this power by holding hands!"
"Ah... I see!"
Qian Renshang immediately showed a somewhat disappointed expression, and Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him.
Why not at least pretend a little better!
To heal her injuries!
Gu Yuena stopped being coy and openly extended her hand to Qian Renshang.
"Come to bed with me... one blanket each, but if you dare cross the line, see how I deal with you!"
"Okay... okay!"
Qian Renshang was content with this and immediately agreed.
A short while later!
Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena lay on the bed together, their bodies slightly close, their body heat seemingly able to pass through their clothes.
They gently held hands, their clasped hands appearing exceptionally tender yet firm.
As expected, the Moon's Grief Power could be circulated by holding hands!
Slowly, they began to circulate their soul power.
Soul power flowed within their bodies like a flowing stream, gently meandering along their meridians.
Every breath, every heartbeat, was in harmony with the rhythm of their soul power.
In other words, they could cultivate rapidly even while asleep, making the most of their time.
"Strange power... Soul fusion... Is this destiny?"
Both of them stared intently at the ceiling, trying not to look at each other.
Gu Yuena's heart was filled with complex emotions, her mind in turmoil...
The atmosphere in the air was strange.
A quiet stillness seemed to conceal an indescribable tension and anticipation, as if a subtle emotion was quietly spreading.
Qian Renshang's brows furrowed slightly.
He could feel Gu Yuena's soul power resonating with his own, a resonance that both reassured and unsettled him.
Gu Yuena's eyelashes trembled gently, her thoughts rising and falling with the flow of her soul power.
The room was quiet, save for their soft breathing and the faint sounds of their soul power circulating.
Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a hazy silver glow on them, making the scene even more mysterious and enchanting.
...
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight, like golden threads, peeked into the room through the thin curtains, Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena awoke almost simultaneously.
Qian Renshang blinked slightly, his long eyelashes casting soft shadows in the sunlight.
His eyes were initially hazy, but quickly cleared and brightened.
Gu Yuena let out a soft moan, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering gently before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes still held a hint of waking languor, as if veiled by a thin mist, making her exceptionally captivating.
"How much have you improved?"
Gu Yuena suddenly asked, Qian Renshang's eyes lighting up with excitement.
"A lot, roughly equivalent to a week of my arduous training... and this is just from one night of using the power of Moon's Lament."
"Sister Nana, what about you?"
"I feel my primordial power is repairing, although it's slow... but it's definitely repairing.
Perhaps with this power, I really have a chance to return to my peak!"
The two seemed to be in perfect sync after waking up, both most concerned about cultivation.
It was as if nothing had happened last night?
However... the two were clearly much closer now.
"You...aren't you going to let go?"
After chatting for a while, Gu Yuena suddenly said coldly, then stared down at the hand that Qian Renshang was holding tightly, her expression somewhat unnatural.
"Haha...isn't this to make the most of our cultivation time?"
Qian Renshang chuckled, and Gu Yuena said irritably.
"Then there's no need to hold on like this forever, is there?...
"Can I still hold on later?... Don't misunderstand, I'm just doing this for cultivation, Sister Nana!"
"...You'd better not."
Gu Yuena didn't directly refuse, and Qian Renshang was secretly delighted.
After the two let go, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the air was somewhat strange.
Just then, a series of rapid knocks suddenly sounded in the previously quiet room, "knock knock knock," the sound particularly abrupt in the silent atmosphere.
The two of them were stunned, and the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
Qian Renshang quickly reacted, he quickly got up, straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes, and then strode towards the door.
"Who is it?"
The door slowly opened, revealing a kindly smiling old man's face.
"Of course it's me, kid!"
He wore a black and red robe, embroidered with mysterious and intricate patterns that shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
It was Meng Shenji.
His weathered face was etched with the marks of time, yet he still exuded a gentle and wise aura.
His eyes were bright and deep, as if they could see through everything.
His neatly combed white hair added to his otherworldly charm.
"What is it, Meng Shenji, the Education Commissioner?"
Qian Renshang asked somewhat awkwardly.
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Kid... hahaha."
"Of course I can, it's just curiosity, isn't it?"
Meng Shenji laughed heartily, his gaze falling on the somewhat disheveled Qian Renshang, then sweeping over Gu Yuena behind him, a playful smile gradually appearing on his old face.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had discovered some intriguing secret.
"I never expected Qian Renshang to have this side to him!"
Meng Shenji muttered to himself, his smile widening, a smile that seemed to carry a hint of teasing and mockery.
Meng Shenji first teased Qian Renshang, and seeing Qian Renshang's slightly embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
After laughing, he quickly composed himself and spoke the truth.
"That must be Miss Gu Yuena, right?
The girl who forcefully attacked the Spirit Hall yesterday during the riot!"
Meng Shenji asked Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena didn't deny it, her expression as cold as an iceberg.
Except for Qian Renshang, she treated everyone with a certain lack of politeness.
Meng Shenji had clearly inquired about Gu Yuena and understood the girl's personality, so he didn't press the matter.
"That's right, she's my friend..."
Meng Shenji stopped being coy.
"It's like this, thanks to your help yesterday, otherwise I can't even imagine what terrible things might have happened!"
"I never imagined that our Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince... would be assassinated so early and replaced by the Spirit Hall.
If you hadn't discovered it, our Heaven Dou Empire would have been in real danger."
Meng Shenji looked at Qian Renshang with gratitude.
"So, after Emperor Xueye learned of this, he specifically instructed me to summon you two to the palace."
"Besides the reward... he has some things he wants to discuss with you two.
Are you free now?"
Meng Shenji's words were extremely respectful, treating Qian Renshang not as a junior, but almost as an equal.
Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena's battle yesterday completely showed Meng Shenji what it meant to be outmatched.
He even doubted that he himself was a match for the two of them!
