Chapter 954 Luo Sheng's Thoughts
Luo Sheng fell silent.
Only the faint crackling of the oil lamp burning remained in the room.
She didn't say anything more.
Lin Qiye did not offer an explanation.
He simply withdrew his hand, slowly withdrawing the wisp of blood demon power from Luo Sheng's body. The movement was slow and gentle, like drawing an extremely fine thread.
Luo Sheng felt the warm power gradually receding from her meridians, and the strange feeling of being invaded by external forces in her body gradually subsided.
But she knew the truth in her heart.
Some things have already been sown.
Although the Blood Demon Power was withdrawn, her body had instinctively accepted it during that brief period. The meridians in the areas nourished by the Blood Demon Power, while still withered, had gained a slight resilience compared to before.
That thread of resilience is very weak.
But it was enough to keep her alive.
Luo Sheng watched as Lin Qiye withdrew his hand, and watched the wisp of blackish-red mist slowly dissipate in his palm.
"I'm tired."
She closed her eyes.
Lin Qiye stood up, walked to the table, and adjusted the wick of the oil lamp to make the flame brighter.
"Go to sleep."
He walked to the door, pushed it open, and went out.
The door closed behind them.
Luo Sheng opened her eyes and looked at the closed door.
Her fingers gently covered her heart.
There, although Lin Qiye's Blood Demon Power had been withdrawn, a faint trace of his aura remained.
The breath was so light that it was almost imperceptible.
But it does exist.
Like a seed, it was planted deep within her bloodline.
Luo Sheng closed her eyes.
She knew that from this night onward, her life and death, everything she had, were now tied to this man.
But she couldn't feel hatred.
She once thought that when a person is completely controlled by another person, there should be hatred.
They should be angry.
They must be resentful.
But she didn't.
She just felt very tired.
A kind of weariness that can finally be let go.
For a thousand years, she has been holding on alone, from the queen of the sub-universe to the scrap of the arena, from the throne to the iron cage, and from the iron cage to the trading area to be put up for sale.
She is so tired.
Someone has now bought her.
Someone saved her.
Someone gave her a child.
Someone was willing to use their most secretive power to nourish her dying foundation.
What more could she possibly want?
Luo Sheng hugged the child tighter.
That small body pressed against her chest, warm and real.
"Blood Demon Power..."
She murmured softly.
"It's the power of the Blood Demon."
She said this to herself.
But she knew that this was not just the power of the Blood Demon.
The power of the Blood Demon can control a person's life and death, and control a person's will, but it cannot control a person's heart.
She didn't hate him.
It's not that I can't control myself.
There was never any hatred to begin with.
Luo Sheng closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Qiye sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Luo Sheng's silent profile.
He didn't explain anything.
He had no other choice.
Blood Demon Power is the only power he can precisely control.
He used it to save Luo Sheng's life.
It left a seed in Luo Sheng's body.
I did it.
He didn't explain anything.
He had always longed for this.
He never considered himself a superior person.
A woman is willing to give everything to survive, and he happens to need the feedback from her bloodline to become stronger. There's nothing to hide about this mutually beneficial arrangement.
He wasn't pretending to be a gentleman.
He doesn't intend to pretend.
……
The news of Lin Qiye's return quickly spread throughout the arena.
training area.
Kefa heard about this.
"He's back?"
"I heard it's quite heavy..."
Kefa remained silent.
The open battle will begin in one month.
Lin Qiye returns injured.
He knew better than anyone what this meant.
Tu Gu is Lei Sha's strongest henchman.
He ranks among the top 100 senior butlers.
A wounded Lin Qiye faces off against Tu Gu at his peak—
There are more ills than good luck.
Why would he leave the arena at this time?
Kefa asked in a low voice.
"I heard... it was to buy medicine for his woman."
"Buying medicine?"
"Yes. His woman is about to give birth, and she has too much Origin Qi in her womb; she needs the Origin Cleansing Pill."
"You can't buy them in the arena; you have to go to the black market outside."
Kefa shook his head.
It's truly foolish to risk your life to buy medicine on the black market for a woman.
……
West side of the arena.
Inside Lei Sha's stone chamber.
Moro stood in front of Lei Sha and reported in a low voice.
"Lin Qiye is back."
Lei Sha tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.
"How badly are you hurt?"
"I heard it's quite heavy."
"snort."
Lei Sha sneered.
"He ran away from the gladiatorial arena to the black market for a woman."
"People like that don't live long."
Moro whispered, "My lord, regarding the open war..."
"Proceed as scheduled."
Lei Sha leaned back in his chair, his eyes behind the mask slightly narrowed.
"Has the butcher been notified?"
"The notification has arrived. Lord Butcher said that in a month, he will personally twist Lin Qiye's head off."
Lei Sha nodded.
"Tell him to be careful."
"Lin Qiye is a really strange kid."
"Although he is injured now, we cannot let our guard down."
"clear."
Moro nodded.
"I will convey this to Lord Butcher."
……
The following week.
Lin Qiye did not leave the private room.
He has been recovering from his injury.
The giant beast's attack nearly killed him.
If it weren't for his three clones using offense as defense to delay the force of that attack, he would probably have turned into a handful of ashes in that wasteland.
But he didn't mention the giant beast to anyone.
The black mountain was not mentioned either.
We'll talk about those things after the open war is over.
The most important thing right now is to recover from the injury and prepare for the public match in a month.
Luo Sheng simply went about her business quietly every day.
Cooking, delivering meals, taking care of children, and practicing the Origin Breathing Technique.
Occasionally, she would exchange a few words with Lin Qiye.
They were all about cultivation.
How is your recovery going?
"It's alright. He should be fully recovered in another two weeks."
"What about the meridians?"
"It's also recovering."
Luo Sheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
All she can do now is recover her health as soon as possible, and then... get pregnant again.
This is Lin Qiye's request.
That was also her task.
She told herself that this was the effect of the Blood Demon's power.
The power of the Blood Demon was influencing her thinking and twisting her will, making her willingly become Lin Qiye's tool.
But she knew in her heart—
not completely.
The power of the Blood Demon is indeed affecting her.
But the reason she was willing to do it wasn't just the power of the Blood Demon.
There are others.
I am grateful.
There is a dependency.
There is fear.
There was something else she was unwilling to admit, something she herself couldn't explain.
Her body remembered him.
Her bloodline remembered him.
Deep within her soul, something was being gradually eroded, assimilated, and covered by the power of the Blood Demon.
She could no longer distinguish which effects came from the power of the Blood Demon and which came from her own true nature.
Maybe--
There is no difference at all.
