184 The Method

Mu Yue was distracted while cooking and made a small cut on her finger. She then stared at the blood and was lost in thought.

'Maybe I should let her drink my blood? Probably won't work.'

Although she did hear her mother saying that a royal family member can create a special blood that can help improve the cultivation and the bloodline of whoever member of the blood race drank it, she currently does not have the capability to create it.

She made sure that no drop of blood fell on the ingredient before using them. Well, she just needs to wait for the night to come.

It was currently a gibbous moon which is enough empowerment for her. Thankfully, her body does not automatically absorb energy, or she might accidentally breakthrough.

She dragged Xiao Yan to go out and sat near the pond where it is open.

"What are you planning, Mu Yue?"

"Hmm... what do you prefer, Xiao Yan? I can bite you and send my energy from that hole. But it is not as effective as mouth to mouth."

"Ah?" Xiao Yan was dumbfounded. Then she added, "Then... mouth to mouth... uh... how long will it take?"

"Should be fast if it's that. Are you fine with it?"

"Well, do you know why people say the name of their moves when doing it?"

"No, I just thought that it was etiquette or something."

"Well, the name of their moves act as a trigger. When they say the name of their moves, their voice would be imbued by some spiritual energy. Also, some strong spells require the user to chant. Although I do not know how the content of the word affects the spell, the spell is continuously empowered from the energy carried by the voice. Hence, mouth to mouth seems logical. But are you sure you can do it?"

"Leave it to me! Rest assured I won't fail."

Since they frequently kissed, mouth to mouth wasn't a problem. Xiao Yan expected it to last long but it only took about 10 seconds when she fell she broke through.

Mu Yue stopped and separated from Xiao Yan. She then went some distance away to observe Xiao Yan stabilizing her cultivation.

A clear night sky, cloudless, Mu Yue can see the moon really well. A quick spark appeared and she was struck by lightning. She was unprepared and it hurt more. It did not damage her body but it was numb. She was also a bit dizzy and confused.

Xiao Yan startled and quickly checked on Mu Yue. She quickly has the two of them go inside the house, fearing that a second one would strike.

Mu Yue heard a female voice scolding her. She shook her head and it seems that it was Xiao Yan talking to her.

"Are you alright? That lightning was unexpected."

"Yes... I'm just a bit dizzy."

Xiao Yan sighed, "Thankfully it wasn't too strong. By the way, thank you for helping me."

"Ah, no problem. It's easy for me to do it."

Xiao Yan laughed. If she had that, perhaps she might already be near the 8th step.

"Alright, let's sleep."

"Mhm"

The next day, Mu Yue went with Xiao Yan to look around the campus and see if there are anything she should pay attention to. Unexpectedly, she saw Xian Ye.

Xian Ye was trying to exchange some points for items for her cultivation. She saw Mu Yue and was startled when she had eye contact with her. She wanted to run away but that might anger her. One word and she can die or be in a worse state so she approached Mu Yue and greeted, "G-good morning, um... master."

Xiao Yan observed Xian Ye. She knows what happened and did not expect for this girl to act like this.

Mu Yue then greeted back, "Good morning, also you don't have to call me 'master'. You are not my servant nor a slave."

'But I have to follow your commands!' Xian Ye sighed, "Thank you for sparing my life."

"Mhm, how are you now? What about that 'young master' you are following?"

"Since you confronted me, I realized that I should change or I might... end up the same again. I stopped following him and his family gradually stopped sending me support. Then they cut off their connection to me when they investigated me and found out the crime I did to you. They were afraid of offending the principal." Xian Ye answered. Although now it was a bit harder to cultivate, she did find joy when she advanced after hardship.

"Oh, good luck then."

As the two left, Xiao Yan stared at Xian Ye which made the latter nervous. When the two were out of sight, Xian Ye quickly finished what she was gonna do and made sure that in the future, she won't get out at this time of the day.
