Xiao Tian also started absorbing the spiritual energy of the pool.
Time passed, three hours passed.
At this time, he found the effect of the spiritual energy was getting weaker and weaker. It was not that the effect of the pool's energy was getting weaker; his body had reached the perfect condition, and couldn't improve further.
Upon awakening the Nine Sun Supreme Yang Physique, most of the impurities were washed away already.
At this time, he shifted his attention to Lu Shuwan, who was trying her best to absorb the spiritual energy at her fastest speed. Her pale white expression was gaining some rosy glow, however, the process was very slow.
At this rate, she might need a long time to heal her injuries.
'She consumed too much blood essence, this pool's energy is not enough to recover the lost blood essence. She required high-grade pills or spiritual herbs capable of reviving her vitality and blood essence.' Xiao Tian thought inwardly. He inspected her inner injuries when he touched her. He knew that her internal condition was more severe than it looked from outside.
She must have temporarily increased her ability to flee by burning her blood essence.
"How is it going? How long would it take?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.
"Long time." Without opening her eyes, she uttered two words.
"You know that this pool's energy can't heal you completely."
"I know!" Her answers were short and precise, refused to talk more.
"I have some pills that could help you. Do you need them?" Xiao Tian said. He was telling the truth, after all, given his background, these pills were not unreachable to him. The Sword cultivators of this world would take many treasures and were willing to offer various treasures in exchange for some guidance from his father.
"I don't need your pills." Lu Shuwan refused.
"Really, what about seventh rank Vitality Restoration Pills?" Xiao Tian smiled and said.
Hearing his words, Lu Shuwan couldn't help but open her eyes. She really needed those pills to restore the lost blood essence.
She stood up and looked at Feng Yun, then spoke, "Do you really have Vitality Restoration Pills?
"It is just some pills. What is the big deal about it?" Xiao Tian showed a smug look as he spread his palm. There were three red pills lying on his palm, emitting a rich aura.
A glimmer of excitement appeared in Lu Shuwan's eyes when she looked at the red pills. She spoke, "Give me then. Didn't you say that you would help me recover as long as I agreed to follow?"
"Well, I did say that." Xiao Tian nodded faintly. "However..."
Shi Tian paused as he walked towards her. Lu Shuwan was about to retreat instinctively, but stopped because of the pills.
Xiao Tian came in front of her, very close to her. He brought his hand that was holding pills to her to hand out the pills.
"I am showing my trust in you for now. But if you dare to break my trust, you will regret it very bad."
She snorted and reached out to pick up the pills. However, he closed his palm at this moment.
Lu Shuwan was angry, but didn't lash out, She took a deep breath and said, "I have already accepted the Heaven Dao Oath, what else do you want?"
"You really lack manners." Xiao Tian said as he held her chin and leaned in. He gave a small kiss on her tender lips, then said, "If you want to follow me, then learn some manners."
Lu Shuwan's chest heaved in anger at his hooligan behavior. "You are a sadistic pervert."
"No, I am not."
"Anyway, I will be staying in the sect for some time. After you're done, come find me." After giving her the pills, he added.
"Aren't you afraid I will run away after recovering my strength?" Lu Shuwan accepted the pills. She looked at him and asked curiously. She wanted to know if he left some backhand against her if she tried to flee.
Xiao Tian showed an amused smile, then he brought his face to her ear and whispered something into her ear, "I will find you, then I will do these things to you...."
Hearing these words, a chill ran down her spine, making her body shiver slightly. Her face couldn't help but flushed red with shame and anger.
He chuckled before jumping out of the water, leaning on the shore. His muscular naked body was exposed to Lu Shuwan. The next second, her eyes widened because he turned around, showing her his naked front wide open.
"What are you doing? Don't you have any shame?" Lu Shuwan instantly turned around and shouted. She saw something she shouldn't have. A touch of rosiness appeared on her cheeks.
"No!"
'Pervert.' She cursed him inwardly many times.
Xiao Tian laughed as he dressed and left the place.
When he came out, he saw the elder who brought him here before was waiting for him outside.
"Your Highness, you came out. How is it? Was the spiritual pool useful?" The elder asked curiously.
"Hmm, it is." Xiao Tian nodded while walking. After a while, they returned to the courtyard where he was staying.
Just as he returned to his room, Meng Luan appeared before him. She asked curiously, "Did you gain some benefits from the pool?"
"Yes. The spiritual energy of the pool was beneficial; it cleared away all the remaining impurities from my body." Xiao Tian nodded as he sat down on the couch.
"Also, I've found something unexpectedly surprising." He gestured for her to come close while speaking.
"Huh, what is it?" Meng Luan became curious and asked as she walked towards him, sat down beside him.
Xiao Tian smiled. He picked her up by the waist and made her sit on his lap.
"Hey, what are you doing? It is broad daylight." Meng Luan showed a little bit of resistance; her face blushed while speaking.
"Sush! Sister Luan, you care too much. Just relax and enjoy. Nobody is going to question you." Xiao Tian put his finger on her lips and said with a faint smile. After that, he gave a kiss on her cheek.
"I am as thick-skinned as you." Meng Luan snorted but gave up resisting simultaneously.
While teasing her, he told her about Lu Shuwan. He hid some truth, for example, Lu Shuwan's initial killing intent towards him. Because if she knew, she would rush over there to chop Lu Shuwan.
Despite her somewhat reserved demeanor, Meng Luan was exceedingly protective.
Her mind was preoccupied with his story, and she ignored his naughty hands that were roaming over her body.
