After Li Fenglin left, everyone chatted for a bit before having a meal. Then, Jiang Chen and Gong Lin returned to their room.

"Ying Zi, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Hu took Qingyuan Yingzi to the loft across the way and noticed that Qingyuan Yingzi's complexion seemed off.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Qingyuan Yingzi shook her head quickly.

Just as Yan Hu was about to leave, Qingyuan Yingzi suddenly stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Yan Hu, may I have the Soul Nourishing Pill now?"

Yan Hu paused for a moment, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "If the Young Master promised you, it is definitely yours. Are you in such a hurry?"

"I... I want to quickly improve my own strength!" Qingyuan Yingzi hesitated before speaking haltingly.

"Alright! Come on, the elixir is in the loft room where we're staying." Yan Hu didn't ask further, nodded, and headed toward the loft across the way; Qingyuan Yingzi hurriedly followed.

As night fell, the lights at the Jiang Family Courtyard were all turned off. Everyone had gone to sleep, leaving only teams of patrolling and protective personnel diligently fulfilling their duties!

Click!

A crisp sound echoed as a window in the third-floor bedroom of the villa where Yan Hu and the others stayed was opened a crack, revealing a pair of bright eyes looking out.

Glancing at the villa where Jiang Chen was staying, which now had its lights dimmed, Qingyuan Yingzi secured the window and crept back to bed.

"Sir, this is my first action following you; I will not let you down!"

Qingyuan Yingzi looked at the three small porcelain bottles on the bedside with a resolute expression.

Reaching out, Qingyuan Yingzi poured one of the porcelain bottles into her palm, and five fragrant pills rolled into her hand.

Plunk!

Setting the porcelain bottle down, Qingyuan Yingzi picked up another bottle.

After doing this twice, three empty porcelain bottles remained on the bedside, while Qingyuan Yingzi's hand held fifteen glistening pills!

"Sir, I don't know if you would dislike this method of cultivation. I dare not let you know, but rest assured, I definitely will not recklessly devour the soul power of others!"

While Qingyuan Yingzi was talking to herself, she glanced at the window, in the direction of Jiang Chen's villa.

Taking a deep breath, Qingyuan Yingzi put all fifteen Soul Nourishing Pills into her mouth, closed her eyes, and her brow furrowed slightly as a tremendous soul power surged throughout her body.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The fluctuation of soul power wandered back and forth in the room, controlled by Qingyuan Yingzi with incredible precision, without spilling even a trace outside her room.

If anyone were to discover this phenomenon, they would be astonished beyond belief.

To maintain inner Qi circulating within a room without a trace escaping was already enormously difficult, and something ordinary martial artists could not achieve—only people with exceptional talent like Jiang Chen could do so.

But controlling soul power was even more challenging than inner Qi.

Even the current Jiang Chen could not control his soul power to float around a room without leaking the slightest trace other than when using some special secret techniques; generally, he couldn't let his soul power leave his body at all.

Soul power leaving the body was a hallmark of a Venerable Realm powerhouse!

Inside the master bedroom of the loft where Jiang Chen was staying.

Jiang Chen was embracing Gong Lin, both of them bare-skinned, and with a faint sheen of perspiration on their bodies, both breathing evenly, having fallen into a deep sleep.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly and he slowly opened his eyes, turning his head to look out the window.

There was a faint yet discernible presence of Soul Power outside the window.

Jiang Chen's cultivation of the Blood Fiend Demon Art made him extremely sensitive to such energies, even if Qingyuan Ying Zi hadn't let any Soul Power escape the room, he still sensed something was off.

With a slight frown, Jiang Chen quietly got out of bed, put on his sleeping robe, and walked out to the balcony, gazing at the pavilion across from him where Qingyuan Ying Zi's room was located.

"This girl is so diligent, but why do I feel... This doesn't seem like her Soul Power? It's more like the Soul Power contained in a Soul Nourishing Pill. Is she guiding Soul Power from a Soul Nourishing Pill for her cultivation? How is she doing that?"

Jiang Chen muttered softly to himself but, although curious, he would not intrude on another's privacy. After a glance at the opposite side and sensing nothing unusual, he turned around intending to go back to sleep.

Buzz buzz!

Suddenly, an unstable aura came forth, causing Jiang Chen's brow to crease lightly, and he swiftly turned back to look at the pavilion!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The rampant Soul Power was growing stronger, enveloping the entire opposite pavilion, lighting up several rooms in the building.

Suddenly, a faint smell of blood wafted from Qingyuan Ying Zi's room across the way, and Jiang Chen's complexion drastically changed, feeling that something was very wrong.

Without delay, he leapt down from the balcony, swiftly rushing towards the pavilion.

Inside Qingyuan Ying Zi's room.

Qingyuan Ying Zi looked extremely pale, her body swaying uncontrollably as she mentally berated herself.

All the Soul Power in the room had been absorbed into her body, but she had not anticipated that the Soul Power contained within the Soul Nourishing Pill would be so immense, beyond her imagination.

Now, the Soul Power within her was completely out of control, chaotically rushing through her meridians, and even her mind was overwhelmed with Soul Power, causing her spirit to tremble.

Bang bang bang!

Knocks on the door sounded, and Yan Hu's voice echoed from the doorway, "Ying Zi, are you okay?"

Qingyuan Ying Zi opened her mouth to respond, but just as she did—

Spurt!

A stream of fresh blood sprayed out from Qingyuan Ying Zi's mouth, her complexion turned dead white, and her bodily energies began to surge uncontrollably!

Crash!

The sound of shattering glass rang out as the window in Qingyuan Ying Zi's room was broken through, and Jiang Chen rushed in.

Thud!

A dull thud occurred simultaneously with the breaking glass as the door was kicked open, and Yan Hu burst into the room, charging straight into the bedroom.

"Ying Zi!" Seeing Qingyuan Ying Zi's complexion, Jiang Chen cried out in shock, rushing forward to embrace her and check her pulse. His expression immediately shifted, and he turned to Yan Hu, who had entered the room, and shouted, "Hu Zi, get the medicine box and the needle kit, now!"

"Yes!" Yan Hu replied and dashed out through the window Jiang Chen had broken.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As soon as Yan Hu jumped out the window, the Jiang Family Courtyard's Great Elder, Second Elder, and Jiang Minglong entered through the window, and two figures also rushed in at the doorway.

"Jiang Yi, notify the guards that it's nothing, carry on patrolling, Elder Wu, shroud the atmosphere, don't let anyone sense what's happening in this room!"

Jiang Chen swiftly arranged instructions with an extraordinarily serious expression.

When he turned his gaze back to Qingyuan Ying Zi, there was also a flicker of undisguised shock in his eyes.

Because, just now, when he checked Qingyuan Ying Zi's pulse, he had noticed something incredibly astonishing!
