Chapter 14 Kneel down
Faced with Lu Changgeng's infusion of magic power, Teng Sanniang felt as if she were being soaked in a pot of boiling medicinal soup, with every inch of her skin, every meridian, and every pore being roughly opened and infused.
Pain and pleasure alternated, making it impossible for her to tell whether she was being tortured or enjoying herself.
The only thing she could sense was that power that seemed to be growing ever stronger.
That is the power of the sun's true fire...
wrong!
Teng San Niang's consciousness suddenly sharpened.
Just now, possessing the unique perception of plants, she felt streams of power from the bottom of the spring flowing into her body through Lu Changgeng, while the demonic energy that Iron Bone had transformed into within her body actually entered the bottom of the spring and was instantly incinerated.
That's not pure power; this Dongxi... is alive.
It's as if a heart is beating deep within the spring, each beat radiating outwards with boundless vitality.
Extremely yang and strong, vast and boundless, like the sun at its zenith.
Her cultivation level was like a firefly compared to the bright moon in the face of this life force, so weak that it was almost extinguished on its own.
Even her husband, the Iron-Bone King, was far inferior.
Teng San Niang's breathing suddenly became rapid.
It wasn't because of pain, but because of fear and awe.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze toward the water-shaped avatar was filled with horror.
"alright."
The water-shaped avatar seemed unaware of her gaze, and suddenly withdrew its hand, its form becoming much more transparent than before, as if it had expended a great deal of magical power.
"Mistress, most of the true fire in your body has been expelled. After a few days of rest, you will be fine." At the same time, the water-shaped avatar gently shook off the iron-boned hand. "That's enough. I am fine now."
The Iron-Bone King withdrew his hand and chuckled, "That's good, that's good."
Teng San Niang didn't speak, but lay weakly in the spring water, her red lips slightly parted, panting heavily.
"Madam, are you alright?" Tie Gu asked in a muffled voice, looking worried.
"It's alright now." Teng San Niang's chest heaved, her voice barely audible, as if she had just exhausted a lot of energy from her cultivation.
"That's good, that's good..."
Tie Gu turned to look at the water-shaped avatar. Lu Changgeng's avatar was now flickering, as if it would soon dissipate.
Tie Gu's gaze was complicated. He actually clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "...This...this...thank you, fellow Daoist...oh Immortal Master...for saving my wife! If you ever need my help again, Tie Gu will definitely lend you a hand."
Lu Changgeng was greatly surprised. He had thought that Madam Teng and Tiegu were plotting against him and that he was going to teach the two demons a lesson, but it seemed that he didn't need to.
Over the past seven days, we've thoroughly investigated Madam Teng's background through the Cleansing Spring, and to our surprise, her husband is thanking us.
No, I saved his wife, so it's only right that I thank him, Lu Changgeng thought to himself.
Seeing her husband acting like this, Teng San Niang sighed inwardly, "What a fool."
She just had a thought that was detrimental to Lu Changgeng.
When this water-shaped avatar dissipates, its divine sense will surely return to its original form. At that time, we will find its origins and then join forces with Iron Bone to damage its essence.
No wonder she was ruthless. After leaving that thorny ridge, she struggled for a thousand years, learning the lesson that without ruthlessness, one cannot stand firm.
However, Tie Gu was too simple-minded and did not have the idea of taking advantage of others in distress. As a demon, she was grateful and repaid kindness. Perhaps this is why she took a liking to Tie Gu.
Fortunately, Tiegu didn't have any wicked intentions, otherwise the couple would probably be dying here today.
She had just sensed a blazing, sun-like aura of true fire at the bottom of the spring, and a vast, abyss-like amount of magical power, far beyond what she and her husband could compare to.
It's unclear whether this is the true form of the Yangquan Taoist or some other being behind him.
Regardless of which one it is, she has no intention of having any other thoughts.
She slowly stood up from the spring, water droplets sliding down the curve of her back.
He walked towards the spring, and then, to the astonishment of Ironbone and the seven spiders, he slowly knelt down before the water-shaped avatar.
Kneel on both knees, upright and proper.
The Iron-Bone King was stunned: "Madam, what's wrong with you...?"
Lu Changgeng was both surprised and not surprised, looking at the vine demon lying beneath him, wondering what she wanted to say.
"Immortal Master, your voice trembled, yet every word was crystal clear. "I previously feigned injury to probe your true strength, harboring malicious intentions, a sin deserving of death. Only now, having sensed your divine might, do I realize that a firefly cannot rival the moon's brilliance. I dare not presume to be taken in by you, I only ask... I only ask to serve you in the future, to atone for my past transgressions."
Upon hearing this, Tie Gu felt a chill run down his spine. He wasn't stupid; his wife was always much more astute than him.
He usually obeyed her without question not only because he was genuinely happy, but also because he trusted her intelligence and shrewdness.
The lady must have just discovered something. Is this Yangquan Taoist really that scary?
"My lord, I was momentarily blinded by greed and made a mistake. I must apologize. I do not wish to indulge you. You should go back now. The Immortal Master is reasonable and will not pursue the matter against you," Teng San Niang said, turning to Tie Gu.
The Iron-Bone King opened his mouth, glanced at his wife, then at the water-shaped avatar, and finally knelt down with a thud, saying in a muffled voice, "I...I also kneel. Husband and wife are one, how can I abandon you? Immortal...Immortal Master, if my wife has done wrong, I am willing to take the blame for her."
Lu Changgeng remained silent, thinking to himself, "What a magnificent drama of a wife leading and a husband following."
This Teng San Niang, having learned etiquette in the human world, was indeed different from that crude demon; her words were impeccable.
The water-shaped avatar stood with its hands behind its back, saying nothing.
With a wave of his hand, the Cleansing Spring immediately surged and churned, like a pot of boiling water.
Then, a dozen or so thick streams of water rose out of nowhere from the spring, plunging towards the water-shaped incarnation like angry dragons.
Teng San Niang and Tie Gu stared blankly at the scene. The former had expected it, while the latter's eyes widened in horror.
Each of these water dragons contains magical power no less than his own, not to mention there are more than a dozen of them!
Is this still the peak of the Concentration Realm? Is the difference really that big?
The water dragon surrounded the water-shaped avatar, stirring up layers of water mist, and in the blink of an eye, all the magic power was absorbed.
As the mist dissipated, the originally semi-transparent water-shaped avatar, which was only humanoid in form but not in human form, was gone. In its place was a handsome, elegant, red-haired young man.
He was eight feet tall, upright like a pine tree, with a face as white as jade, eyebrows like ink swords, eyes like cold stars, a high nose bridge, tightly pursed lips, and long, crimson hair that cascaded down his shoulders and back.
She was covered in a long, wide-sleeved robe of vermilion, which upon closer inspection turned out to be made of spring water, with the water flowing and rippling, and the crimson color swirling around her.
His expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful, but subtly carried an air of aloof divinity.
This is Lu Changgeng's human form after his main body condensed a demon core.
This appearance was not intentional on his part, but rather a natural manifestation of the Cleansing Spring itself after reaching the half-step transformation stage.
Lu Changgeng expanded his divine sense and could naturally see his new incarnation, which was seven-tenths similar to his appearance before he transmigrated.
The remaining 93 points are not similar.
He sighed inwardly, thinking, "If I had such a face in my past life, I would never have worried about not having a wife."
