NOVEL WEB Chapter 148.2
He didn’t know how much time passed before Li Tianyan finally stopped and looked at the passed-out Cheng Qi, with a look of helplessness and amusement on his face. He pulled the person into his arms and covered all traces of Cheng Qi’s body with a red silk quilt. Then he leaned his forehead close and closed his eyes to rest together.
.
Many days had passed. Elder Tian Min hadn’t seen his apprentice for several days, so he came over to take a look, but found only Tan Eyu.
“It’s still early. They’ll probably be done in a few days,” Tan Eyu chewed a pill and said nonchalantly.
Tian Min remained silent.
.
Cheng Qi was really tired this time. He slept for two days before he woke up. When he opened his eyes, his sight was full of red gauze. He turned his neck and looked around, then remembered the wedding ceremony he and Li Tianyan had attended, and…
“Wake up?” Li Tianyan said in a low voice when he saw him moving restlessly upon waking.
“Young mster,” Cheng Qi met Li Tianyan’s gaze and shrank in panic.
“Tianyan,” Li Tianyan corrected him helplessly upon hearing his call by his previous title.
Cheng Qi understood immediately. Thinking that Li Tianyan would be his from now on, he couldn’t help but smile sweetly. “Tianyan.”
Li Tianyan’s eyes froze upon hearing this, but thinking of Cheng Qi’s fearful look just moments ago, he held back to avoid frightening him again.
They both put on their middle coats but didn’t rush out of bed. Cheng Qi lazily leaned into Li Tianyan’s arms and checked the nether fire in Li Tianyan’s dantian. Seeing his flame inside Li Tianyan’s body, Cheng Qi was a little happy, but couldn’t help but wonder, “Is it okay to have this flame there?”
The Earth Essence was a five-element divine object, but his nether fire had not yet reached the level of a divine object.
“It doesn’t matter. Although the level of your nether fire isn’t high yet, it does have the fire of Lihuo Beast. It should improve with me as I advance,” Li Tianyan explained to him.
That flame was an extremely pure thing. If the Lihuo Beast was not just an infant stage, its flames would be comparable to the Five Elements Divine Objects. If it wasn’t for Cheng Qi as a medium, he wouldn’t have been able to conquer it on his own. This time, their dual cultivation had merged their breaths, giving him a chance to obtain this divine fire.
Listening to Li Tianyan talk about the Lihuo Beast, Cheng Qi thought of the dream he had seen when he merged with the flames and couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Young master, can you tell me about the past?”
Li Tianyan froze upon hearing this, even forgetting to correct Cheng Qi’s title. He knew what Cheng Qi meant by “the past.”
But then he thought, since they were already Taoist couples, there was nothing he couldn’t tell him. “You want to know?”
“Yes, if young master is willing to say,” Cheng Qi nodded expectantly. This was the Li Tianyan he didn’t know. He had only seen Li Tianyan a few times in his dreams.
Cheng Qi wanted to know what Li Tianyan had experienced and what had happened between him and the Lihuo Beast. He wanted to understand why Li Tianyan was so indifferent and why he didn’t want to take the Lihuo Beast away from Baize Peak.
Li Tianyan pondered for a moment, unsure of where to start. He simply took Cheng Qi’s hand and placed it between his eyebrows. “You can see for yourself.”
Cheng Qi sat upright in excitement and nervously confirmed, “Could you really let me see it as I pleased?”
“Well, if you want, you can,” Li Tianyan replied with a firm tone.
“Then I really will see it,” Cheng Qi felt inexplicably excited at the thought of being able to check Li Tianyan’s memories at will.
Seeing him nod, Cheng Qi couldn’t wait to release his mental power and probe into Li Tianyan’s sea of consciousness.
It was the most sensitive and fatal place for a cultivator, but at that moment, it was prepared for anyone to invade. Cheng Qi easily sneaked into his sea of consciousness, where memory fragments were stored.
Soon, Cheng Qi learned a lot about Li Tianyan. It turned out that Li Tianyan was born in a top continent called Tianyun and was a disciple of Chongyun Immortal Sect.
Unlike Tianfan Immortal Sect, Chongyun Immortal Sect was a sect that had truly produced immortals, and almost every five hundred years, cultivators would overcome tribulations and become immortals.
Chongyun Immortal Sect occupied an area larger than the current Central Territory. There were countless high-level cultivators in it, and the strongest Core Formation cultivators in the Hengwu Continent were as numerous as ants and not worth mentioning. As he looked at the vast world like a fairyland, Cheng Qi couldn’t help but yearn for it.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled around, and Cheng Qi decided to go see Li Tianyan when he was a child.
The young master’s memories only became clear when he was three years old. Cheng Qi saw little Li Tianyan through the mirror and exclaimed in his heart.
At three years old, Li Tianyan was chubby and so cute. Seeing him making faces in the mirror, Cheng Qi couldn’t help but snicker.
