Urban Shen Lang (Complete) - 40

Chapter 318 A Hidden Paradise
Looking at the mother and daughter, Ning Meng increasingly felt they weren't bad people. If there were people who inspired boundless trust and affection just by their appearance, this mother and daughter were the perfect example.
The beautiful young woman looked incredibly young, judging from her skin and figure to be only in her early twenties. However, hearing the little beauty Qin'er call her "Mom," she must have been at least in her early thirties. Yet, she showed absolutely no signs of aging. Her skin was as white as snow, her features as delicate as clouds, her eyes bright and her teeth white, her nose exquisite and her lips red. Her excellent maintenance made Ning Meng a little jealous. She wore a simple, coarse cloth dress, likely made from locally sourced plant fibers. The dress was perfectly proportioned, and the unique cut enhanced her alluring charm, making her capable of instantly captivating any man, and most women, in the world.
The beautiful young woman, Qin'er, appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had inherited her beautiful mother's genes perfectly; her delicate face resembled that of a fairy untouched by worldly concerns, pure and flawless. She wore a dress with a distinctly ethnic minority style, giving her an ethereal and graceful appearance. It revealed her slender, snow-white arms and long, graceful legs. Surprisingly, she wasn't wearing shoes, yet her feet were spotless, which amazed Ning Meng. Ning Meng smiled slightly and asked, "May I ask who you are...?"
The beautiful young woman's face softened as she replied in a gentle voice, "Hello, young lady. My name is Mu Qizhen, and this is my daughter, Xie Qin'er. We live nearby."
Ning Meng was surprised. Why would this mother and daughter, as beautiful as flowers, live in this remote mountain area?
Xie Qin'er, being perceptive, noticed the fleeting confusion in Ning Meng's eyes and said, "Sister, we're really not bad people. Please believe me. Treating Big Brother's injuries is the priority; his breath is getting weaker and weaker." Shen Lang's condition was dire, so Ning Meng had to temporarily put aside her doubts and said, "Sister Zhen, Sister Qin'er, hello! My name is Ning Meng, and this is... my boyfriend, Shen Lang!"
Mu Qizhen saw Ning Meng's lingering hesitation and confusion and explained simply, "Sister Ning, my daughter Qin'er is a bit sensitive to the scent of strangers. Just now, she suddenly sensed a stranger nearby, and that he was seriously injured, so she dragged me along to check on him."
Qin'er said, "Sister, please leave Big Brother to me. If he still has a breath left, I will definitely save him. I've healed many injured animals in this forest."
Ning Meng felt both amused and heartbroken. Was this little girl a veterinarian? But seeing Shen Lang's near-death state, she couldn't laugh. She could only place Shen Lang on the ground and let the little girl examine him. Xie Qin'er knelt down to examine Shen Lang's injuries. Shen Lang hadn't felt anything while Ning Meng carried him on her back, but now, seeing his nearly naked body, her face flushed slightly. After all, at thirteen or fourteen, he was already at an age where he understood the boundaries between men and women.
Mu Qizhen, seeing her daughter's unusual expression, smiled slightly and pulled the pretty handkerchief tied around her neck, draping it over Shen Lang's private parts, which slightly eased her daughter's shyness.
After the examination, Xie Qin'er stood up and said, "Sister, Big Brother's condition is very serious. I've never seen such severe injuries before. For the first time, Qin'er lost confidence in treating him. But don't worry, I will do my best. However, there's no way to treat him here. We can take Big Brother back to our home first; many of my medicines are at home."...
Something astonishing happened to Ning Meng. She could hardly believe her eyes. Xie Qin'er and her mother walked in front, their feet barely touching the ground, as if some mysterious force was supporting them from below. Not only that, but the dense vegetation actually made way for them. After they passed, the vegetation returned to its original position, as if nothing had happened.
Ning Meng quickly discovered the benefits of that invisible force. Even without moving, she could move forward quickly, as if an invisible elevator was operating below her. The speed was strange, but there was no bump at all; it was both fast and smooth.
Ning Meng finally understood why they could move so quickly in the dense primeval forest. Ning Meng had heard her mother talk a lot about cultivators and superhumans. Essentially, cultivators can be considered superhumans, but strictly speaking, cultivators are superhumans who acquire their abilities through training, while superhumans are purely born with special abilities, possessing them from a young age.
Judging from this little girl's age, she didn't seem like a cultivator, and her mother, Mu Qizhen, showed no signs of energy fluctuation. The only explanation was that this little girl was a superhuman, specifically a plant-based superhuman—the legendary plant-based druid. However, in the East, they aren't generally called druids; "druid" is a more Western term. In the East, they're usually simply called plant-based or animal-based superhumans.
Ning Meng had only heard of druids in her mother's stories; she had never actually seen one. She had mostly seen acquired superhumans, that is, cultivators, like her mother and Shen Lang. Unable to contain her curiosity, Ning Meng asked in surprise, "Sister Qin'er, may I ask... are you a druid?"
Qin'er turned around, looking confused, and asked, "Sister, what is a druid?"
Ning Meng asked curiously, "You don't know what a druid is? Then are you a plant-based ability user? I see those plants seem to obey you?"
Mu Qizhen explained, "Sister Ning, you don't know this, but my daughter Qin'er seems to have had an affinity for plants since she was little. She seems to be able to control the growth and death of plants, and can also use plants to heal people, or do many strange things.
But because of this, Qin'er has been attacked by a lot of rumors since she was little, called a monster by other children, and even Qin'er's grandparents didn't understand and disliked her. Later, Qin'er's father died of illness, and Qin'er's grandparents cut off ties with us, saying that Qin'er had cursed her father to death.
As a result, our lives have become even more difficult." Many schools were unwilling to accept Qin'er, and later, many so-called scientists kept harassing her at home, saying they wanted to conduct some kind of research.
Qin'er and I could no longer stay in the city, so we thought about moving to a place where no one knew us. I didn't want Qin'er to be hurt anymore.
Qin'er's father was originally a geographer, and based on the survey maps he left behind, Qin'er and I moved to this mountain. The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and there are almost no large wild animals, so for the past ten years, we have lived here and haven't gone out much, at most going out to buy some necessities. Ning Meng suddenly understood. This little girl, Xie Qin'er, had possessed plant-based superpowers since childhood, and everyone around her thought she was a monster. Even her grandparents didn't like them. Coupled with the unbearable harassment from those so-called scholars, Mu Qizhen moved to the deep mountains to protect her daughter, living a life of seclusion.
Ning Meng suddenly had a thought. Deep mountains? What kind of place is this? Wasn't the place where they fought before the outskirts of Xia Jing City?
Ning Meng couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Sister Mu, where is this place? Which province and city is it?"
Mu Qizhen replied, "This should be considered Xiajing City, about three or four hundred kilometers from the city center."
Ning Meng was relieved, but also somewhat alarmed. A massive explosion had blasted them two or three hundred kilometers away—quite frightening. Ning Meng put aside her doubts, her heart returning to Shen Lang, watching Xie Qin'er tirelessly use various methods to prolong and maintain Shen Lang's fragile life.
Xie Qin'er walked along, casually picking some unknown flowers and herbs, crushing them in her hands, and dripping the juice directly into Shen Lang's wounds. The remaining residue was applied to Shen Lang's body, and then she used a strange energy to quickly release the medicinal effects. A layer of green light enveloped Shen Lang's body, seemingly flowing, constantly moving in and out.
Before long, Ning Meng was pleasantly surprised to find that Shen Lang's vital energy had increased slightly, and some of the superficial wounds were slowly healing.
Ning Meng was both surprised and delighted, finally able to relax a little. This little girl's medical skills must be quite remarkable, after all, she was a plant-based ability user. Soon, the four of them temporarily left the dense forest, and a large, flat area appeared before them. A clear stream, about three or four meters wide, circled halfway around the flat area before disappearing into the dense forest.
A beautiful fence surrounded the flat area, with various unknown vines twining around it, and even blooming with all sorts of colorful little flowers.
Inside the fenced yard, various exotic flowers and plants grew, almost none of which Ning Meng could name. In addition, there was a small yard, similar to an ordinary farmhouse, with several kinds of poultry and a large white long-haired sheepdog. Upon seeing strangers, it barked a few times, but at Qin'er's command, it obediently lay down and didn't move.
Two uniquely styled wooden houses stood behind the courtyard. The massive logs were miraculously stacked together, without any visible signs of carving or cutting, yet they had become beautiful and sturdy houses.
Ning Meng exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Mu, did you build these houses?"
Mu Qizhen smiled and said, "I designed them. I used to be an architect and graphic designer, but Qin'er did the construction. I didn't have the strength to stack those massive logs together, but it was a piece of cake for Qin'er."
Qin'er smiled and said, "Sister Ning, come in quickly! I need to treat my big brother right away."
Ning Meng nodded, marveling at the sight, and quickly entered the mysterious and beautiful courtyard. Entering the larger wooden house, Ning Meng discovered that the interior was even more enchanting. What appeared to be one story from the outside was actually two stories inside. The stairs, railings, walls, doors, and windows were all made of wood.
The rooms inside were clearly defined, with bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, showcasing the designer's ingenuity. The entire house was both clean and unique.
What surprised Ning Meng even more was that the furniture inside was all made of pure wood, looking new over time and faintly exuding the fragrance of raw wood.
Ning Meng was completely captivated by the elegant lifestyle of this mother and daughter; it was truly breathtaking, just like the description in Li Bai's poem: "Peach blossoms drift away on flowing water, a secluded paradise beyond the human world..."

Chapter 319 Natural Intimacy
Entering the spacious bedroom, Xie Qin'er gestured for Ning Meng to place Shen Lang on the clean and tidy large bed. The bed was over two meters wide, covered with snow-white sheets, and several beautifully patterned quilts of unknown fabric were neatly folded and placed against the headboard. Looking at the snow-white sheets, Ning Meng hesitated, seemingly reluctant to damage them, and said, "This bed is so clean, why don't we put something on it?"
Xie Qin'er smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ning, these sheets are made from fibers extracted from the bark of a tree called Snow Osmanthus. They're waterproof, fireproof, and stain-resistant, so they won't get dirty!"
Ning Meng was greatly surprised. Seeing the mother and daughter's gentle smiles, she believed them to some extent. So, with a bit of skepticism, she placed Shen Lang on the bed. The sheets seemed to have a spirit; they automatically absorbed the stains that came onto them and disappeared. The snow-white sheets remained as white as new, almost like a miracle. Ning Meng was too shocked to speak. She shook her head vigorously, looking at Xie Qin'er in disbelief, wondering what other surprises this magical little girl would bring her.
Xie Qin'er said, "Sister Ning, I'm going to start treating Big Brother's injuries now. First, I need to treat his external wounds, which can be treated with ordinary herbs. However, treating his internal injuries requires special herbs, and may require some hot water. If you trust my flowers, you can leave Big Brother with me first, and you and Mom can go and boil some water." Ning Meng could only obey Xie Qin'er's orders now, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go boil water... Where's the water?"
Mu Qizhen saw Ning Meng's somewhat flustered and helpless appearance and thought to herself, this girl is probably too worried about this man. Not only are she hesitant in her actions, but she is also somewhat distracted. She is probably not usually like this, is she? So she began, "Ning, come with me, our kitchen is over here!"
Ning Meng felt as if she had heard heavenly music when she heard Mu Qizhen's voice, and suddenly felt reassured. She said, "Thank you, Sister Mu."
Ning Meng and Mu Qizhen went out to boil water together. Xie Qin'er looked at Shen Lang with a smile, but there was a hint of confusion in her smile. She seemed to be talking to herself, saying, "It's really strange. Big brother has a scent that Qin'er likes, just like the herbs I usually keep at home. But I don't know why. But... it's okay. Qin'er thinks big brother must be a good person. Since he's a good person, Qin'er will definitely find a way to heal you. If he were a bad person like Grandpa and Grandma, Qin'er wouldn't help them heal!"
Xie Qin'er was puzzled by the natural closeness she felt to Shen Lang, but she couldn't possibly know the reason. Shen Lang was seriously injured in Hanayagi Taro's self-destruction. Not only was his physical body severely damaged, but his bones and meridians were also broken, and his internal organs were displaced. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot. However, Shen Lang's Bone Refining Technique stored most of his life force in his meridians and bones. As long as his skeleton remained intact, his life force would naturally continue. Moreover, he was fortunate enough to find himself in a primeval forest, a place almost devoid of human traces, overflowing with spiritual energy and brimming with vitality. Shen Lang, whose internal energy was nearly depleted, happened to encounter the gentlest form of natural energy—spiritual energy. The abundant spiritual energy of the primeval forest provided him with the energy to sustain his life, preventing his life force from being extinguished, which allowed Xie Qin'er and her daughter to come to his rescue. Shen Lang's severely damaged body, nourished by the abundant spiritual energy of the primeval forest, absorbed some of the plant's spiritual energy. Xie Qin'er, being a natural plant-based ability user, possessed an extremely high sensitivity to plant spiritual energy, naturally developing a close connection with Shen Lang. However, this young girl had not received systematic training and learning, and therefore did not fully understand the subtle principles behind it. ...
Xie Qin'er lifted the blanket covering Shen Lang, revealing his body covered in wounds. Almost all the flesh was necrotic, a pitiful sight that brought tears to Xie Qin'er's eyes. She thought, "My brother is so badly injured; I wonder how much pain he's in!"
Xie Qin'er had grown up deep in the mountains with her mother, experiencing little of life's hardships. Her mind was incredibly pure, like a blank sheet of paper. Her mental age was perhaps even younger than that of children outside the mountains. Although she was physically fourteen, her mental age was probably no more than twelve or thirteen. Despite this, her mother, Mu Qizhen, wasn't a traditional, old-fashioned mother. She was careful to teach her daughter about matters of love and relationships, lest she grow up ignorant and clueless, since her daughter would eventually marry.
Now, seeing Shen Lang's male body, Xie Qin'er felt extremely shy. Earlier, with Shen Lang's body covered by a handkerchief and her mother and Ning Meng present, she hadn't felt anything amiss. But now, alone with a man, she naturally felt both shy and afraid. Along with her shyness, Xie Qin'er also felt a bit curious. Her mother usually spoke vaguely about matters between men and women, only briefly, never going into depth, and she had never actually seen one. Now, finally seeing a man's body, she couldn't help but be curious. This curiosity tempered her shyness, lessening her embarrassment and preventing her from losing her composure. After
a few seconds of stunned silence, Xie Qin'er quickly focused her attention back on Shen Lang's injuries. Her heartache immediately outweighed her shyness. She had never seen such severe injuries. The injured animals she encountered, whether from mutual bites or falls from trees or cliffs, were never so mangled and their tendons severed.
Xie Qin'er first used a small, white, furry thing that resembled both a plant and an animal to wipe Shen Lang's body. Soon, the bloodstains and dirt on Shen Lang's body were wiped clean. With the dirt removed, the large and deep wounds looked even more shocking, making Xie Qin'er's heart pound and her hands tremble for the first time.
Next, Xie Qin'er poured some green powder from a bottle onto her hand and gently blew it into Shen Lang's wound, evenly distributing the powder deep within.
Upon contact with the flesh, the unknown green powder quickly transformed into swarms of tiny green ants, rapidly growing to about a third the size of ordinary ants. Their bodies were green, and upon closer inspection, they revealed mandibles exceeding half their body size.
It turned out that the powder was actually the larvae of these ants; because they were so small, they appeared as powder. Xie Qin'er murmured to herself, "These green-jawed ants should be able to help big brother. Although I haven't tested them on humans before, they've healed all the little animals!"
If Shen Lang heard Xie Qin'er's words, he probably wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, Xie Qin'er didn't think that far ahead. In her eyes, small animals, like humans, were lives, beings that deserved protection. She would do everything in her power to heal any injured animal.
Soon, the so-called green-jawed ants began to devour the rotting flesh on Shen Lang's body, secreting a bluish liquid with an enticing aroma. The rotting flesh was quickly consumed, and the bluish liquid flowed into the wounds, which began to heal at a visible rate. The green-jawed ants, having accomplished their mission, retreated. Once satiated, they grew tiny wings and flew away from Shen Lang's wounds, disappearing into the air in no time, their bodies too small to be easily seen.
Xie Qin'er quietly did all this, soon reaching Shen Lang's lower body. Looking at Shen Lang's enormous member, Xie Qin'er's face flushed again, hesitant to make a move. After much hesitation, she finally overcame her shyness. Xie Qin'er murmured again, "Big brother, why does it feel like I've known you for so long? It's so strange!"
With that, Xie Qin'er tremblingly reached out her small hand and bent down to apply green powder... or rather, the eggs of green-jawed ants, to Shen Lang's area.
Soothed by the bluish liquid secreted by the green-jawed ants, Shen Lang's wound healed quickly, especially a certain area, which naturally began to swell, soon becoming grotesque.
At the same time, Xie Qin'er noticed a petal-shaped object on her brother's chest beginning to glow. It was a pale, fluorescent light, and at this moment, the light seemed very flustered, constantly flickering. It was about ten centimeters long, sometimes long, sometimes short, like a leaping flame swaying in a gale, as if it might be extinguished at any moment. Xie Qin'er had never encountered this situation before and naturally didn't know what was happening. Her mind was in turmoil, her face flushed red with anxiety, and she began trying to channel her own plant-based spiritual energy into Shen Lang's body.
But some things were beyond Xie Qin'er's control. Gradually, Shen Lang's genitals grew larger and longer, their appearance becoming increasingly ferocious and menacing. In stark contrast, the glowing light on his chest grew weaker and shorter.
Xie Qin'er's attention was almost entirely focused on Shen Lang's genitals, her face flushing crimson. She could see that her older brother was in great pain; that area was burning with too much heat and toxins, almost turning bright red, as if flames were scorching his life force.
Xie Qin'er was a natural-born druid, and under her mother's influence, she had read extensively in medical books since childhood. Naturally, she knew that her older brother's current condition was very bad. Almost all the heat toxins in his body had gathered in that one place. If they could not be released, those extremely harmful toxins would accumulate more and more. If they could not be released from that place, they would eventually be released from another place, just like a dam that could collapse at any time. Once released from other places, it would at least worsen the injury, and at worst, cause the body to explode. It was even more dangerous than going into a qi deviation. Xie Qin'er was both guilty and anxious. Why was her older brother in more danger the more she treated him?
Suddenly, Xie Qin'er recalled a passage from a medical book: "The 'flower-medicine barrier' is a method of 'stopping and observing,' used to stop the silver heart from becoming jade fire. This is called the 'flower-medicine barrier.' What is stopping and observing? It means that when the jade fire is intense, one should stop moving and sit still. That is, sit in meditation and enter into observation (the 'observation' here is pronounced with the fourth tone). Entering observation means entering a state of devout worship, first performing the vigorous fire three, six, or nine times, and then performing the gentle fire to enter stillness. During this time, the jade fire in the heart and body undergoes a transformation. This is called: transforming the silver heart into the fire of joy. What is the fire of joy? It is the light of nature..."
At the time, Xie Qin'er did not understand the meaning of that passage, but now she finally understood. If she wanted to release that jade fire, the so-called fire of joy, she would inevitably need to guide it, and the best way to guide it was through sexual intercourse, which was the so-called "light of nature"...
Xie Qin'er's heart trembled. Sexual intercourse... but she didn't understand it either. What should she do?

Chapter 320
Although Xie Qin'er was simple-minded and not very worldly-wise, she knew that such things were only between husband and wife or lovers.
Xie Qin'er suddenly remembered what her mother had said; Sister Ning and her older brother were probably in that kind of relationship. Perhaps she could ask Sister Ning for help!
Thinking of this, Xie Qin'er first covered Shen Lang with plant-based spiritual energy to temporarily stabilize his condition, then hurriedly ran out to find Ning Meng.
Ning Meng and Mu Qizhen were boiling water in the kitchen. Ning Meng was still somewhat absent-minded, while Mu Qizhen gently comforted her while tending the fire.
There was no coal or natural gas in the mountains, so the mother and daughter could only rely on raw firewood. The firewood looked like dead trees from the forest, not freshly cut wood. Perhaps they couldn't bear to cut it, after all, Xie Qin'er was a plant-based ability user with a natural affinity for plants. Seeing Xie Qin'er rush over in a panic, her face flushed and her forehead seemingly sweaty, Mu Qizhen was puzzled. This was the first time in many years she had seen her daughter like this. She quickly asked, "Qin'er, what's wrong?"
Xie Qin'er hesitated, finding it difficult to speak. After all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, already somewhat aware of the proper boundaries between men and women, and naturally didn't know how to broach the subject.
Unexpectedly, Ning Meng misunderstood. Her pretty face immediately turned pale, and she said in a panic, "Sister Qin'er, could it be that he..."
Xie Qin'er hurriedly waved her hands, explaining, "Sister Ning, no, it's just... just..."
Ning Meng pressed, "Then what exactly happened? If you need anything, just tell me. I'll do anything." Xie Qin'er said, "Sister Ning, I think... you and big brother, is it... that kind of relationship?"
"What kind of relationship?"
Ning Meng was confused.
“It’s like…”
Xie Qin’er didn’t know how to explain, so she gestured wildly, “It’s like…like the relationship between my parents…”
Xie Qin’er finally found a suitable analogy that Ning Meng understood.
Ning Meng, disregarding her shyness, immediately said, “I guess so, what’s wrong?”
Xie Qin’er beckoned to Ning Meng and said, “Sister Ning, come here, I’ll whisper it in your ear.”
Mu Qizhen seemed to have thought of something, but couldn’t quite figure it out. However, seeing that her daughter was too embarrassed to say these things out loud, she didn’t ask any further and continued tending the fire. Soon, Ning Meng understood what Xie Qin’er meant, and her face quickly turned red. From what Xie Qin’er meant, she needed to do something very intimate with Shen Lang, which was what they hadn’t finished in Shen Lang’s room last night.
Actually, this wouldn't have been a problem in itself. Ning Meng liked Shen Lang and wasn't unfamiliar with doing that kind of thing; she had already "rehearsed" it once in her spiritual space, so she wasn't opposed to it. The problem was that Xie Qin'er had to be there as the "director." This wasn't just about simply doing that kind of thing; it required certain methods and techniques, involving the transfer and application of energy and the study of meridians. How could Ning Meng understand that? Without a "director," it really wouldn't work.
However, Ning Meng knew she had no choice. As long as she could save Shen Lang, she would do anything, even something ten times more humiliating. Ning Meng went to the bedroom, and Xie Qin'er followed behind, but was stopped by Mu Qizhen.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Xie Qin'er turned around and asked.
Mu Qizhen asked, "Qin'er, what exactly are you doing? Why did your sister Ning have that expression?"
Xie Qin'er could only whisper in her mother's ear to recount what had just happened. After listening, Mu Qizhen's beautiful face quickly flushed red. In the ten years she had lived in seclusion in the mountains, this was the first time she had heard of such a thing, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She gently scolded, "Your sister Ning can go, why do you have to go too? Do you want to just watch from the side? Silly girl!"
Xie Qin'er also became a little hesitant and said, "Mom, no, it's just... this is for healing, not for actually doing *that* kind of thing. Sister Ning's body is just being used to release tension, but she doesn't know how to do it, and it's too late to teach her now. We can only teach her while we do it." Mu Qizhen felt relieved upon hearing this. Although she still felt it was very inappropriate for her daughter to be watching, there was nothing she could do. She said, "Then... you go ahead. If you need any help, just call me."
"Okay, Mom, I'm going!"
"Okay, go ahead!"...
Despite feeling somewhat embarrassed by Xie Qin'er's presence, Ning Meng quickly removed her lower garments and slowly climbed onto Shen Lang's body. She groped for his penis, pressing it against her delicate private parts, and then, gritting her teeth, sat down.
The excruciating pain immediately made Ning Meng's brows furrow. In her eyes, this pain was many times more intense than the one she experienced in the spiritual space. However, with Xie Qin'er beside her, she was too ashamed to make a sound, and could only grit her teeth, enduring the pain with furrowed brows, until Shen Lang's penis completely filled her. "Ugh—"
Ning Meng's recklessness and eagerness brought her several times the pain. She seemed to have forgotten that when Shen Lang entered her body in the spiritual space, it was very slow and gradual. Perhaps Ning Meng was simply willing to suffer herself to heal Shen Lang quickly.
Ning Meng was in excruciating pain, while Xie Qin'er was overcome with shame, her face flushed red, forced to remain there. Seeing that Ning Meng's condition had improved slightly, she began to teach her the method of channeling energy.
Ning Meng had received a large influx of energy from Shen Lang's body within her spiritual space, significantly strengthening her body. Her resilience and resistance to pain had greatly increased. Soon, she adapted to the intense pain and began to learn the channeling incantation from Xie Qin'er, slowly transferring her own true energy into Shen Lang's body through their point of contact, while simultaneously moving up and down. Essentially, Ning Meng had never truly experienced intimacy, her movements were clumsy and stiff, causing herself considerable pain. While she didn't faint from the pain, it was still quite strenuous.
The first drops of her virgin blood slowly dripped from their point of contact, landing on Shen Lang's wound, miraculously absorbed by it, seeping into his bones and disappearing.
Ning Meng moved slowly up and down, and after a while, she became more familiar with it, and the conversion and transmission of her true energy became smoother. Meanwhile, Xie Qin'er had finished teaching the method of channeling energy, and after giving Ning Meng some more details, she ran off as if fleeing, running to the kitchen and burying her head deeply in her mother's arms, unwilling to come out for a long time.
Mu Qizhen was also somewhat helpless, and could only gently stroke her daughter's back, comforting her fragile heart; this was truly a difficult task for her. ...
Gradually, Shen Lang regained more vitality, and his consciousness and brain regained a faint sense of awareness, but those life signals were too weak. He didn't know who he was, where he was, or even what kind of existence he was; it was as if he were filled with a chaotic void.
As his life force intensified, Shen Lang gained more information. Although he hadn't yet remembered who he was, he could feel his own existence, remember that he was a person, and felt himself in a strange place, doing something with a woman who was both strange and familiar. He didn't know the specifics of what was happening, nor did he have any concrete sensory experiences, only a general feeling of comfort, which he found very pleasant, gentle, and warm, and he liked it very much. Gradually, those sensations became more numerous and richer. He felt his own coldness, as if his body was surrounded by a thick layer of ice, making it difficult for him to fully receive the warmth emanating from the woman. The woman was like the sun in a snowy landscape, gently shining down and slowly melting away the ice on his body.
The ice became thinner and thinner, and he could feel the woman's body more and more clearly. That body was filled with an energy that felt incredibly familiar to him, making him feel extremely comfortable and at ease. As Shen Lang's consciousness continued to awaken, the energy transfer and conversion between the two became faster and faster. If before it was the ice slowly melting, now the meltwater had formed a stream, flowing merrily.
Ning Meng could clearly sense all of this. According to Xie Qin'er, this was a very good sign, indicating that Shen Lang's body was recovering rapidly, and he would naturally wake up when he reached a certain point.
However, Ning Meng was still extremely exhausted because Shen Lang's body was very weak and had not yet regained its ability to process waste and toxins. Therefore, with the flow of energy, all the toxins and waste accumulated in Shen Lang's body entered Ning Meng's body and continued to accumulate.
Although Xie Qin'er had taught Ning Meng the method of channeling the toxins, she unfortunately hadn't taught her how to deal with these terrifying toxins. In fact, Ning Meng could also expel these toxins from her body using the Bone Refining Technique, but unfortunately, she neither had the time nor realized that a huge amount of toxins had already accumulated in her body. As a
result, Shen Lang's condition was getting better and better, while Ning Meng's condition was getting worse and worse. Her face was becoming increasingly pale, and her body even began to tremble.
Finally, Ning Meng's body couldn't handle so much poison. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, cried out in agony, and then, unable to withstand the intense stimulation, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Hearing the commotion, Mu Qizhen and her daughter were terrified and rushed to check on her. They found Ning Meng completely naked, lying on top of Shen Lang, her body alternating between red and white—a truly frightening sight.
Xie Qin'er, her face pale with fright, quickly went to check on her and soon learned the reason for Ning Meng's fainting. Tears streamed down her face.
Mu Qizhen, realizing something was wrong, hurriedly asked what had happened.
Xie Qin'er sobbed, "Mom, it's terrible! It's all my fault, all my fault! It was my negligence. I forgot to tell Sister Ning how to detoxify, and now she's already succumbed to the poison..."

Chapter 321 A Daughter's Mistake, A Mother's Retribution.
Hearing her daughter's account, Mu Qizhen finally understood what had happened. Simply put, the poison in Shen Lang's body had transferred to Ning Meng's, and her daughter had forgotten to teach Ning Meng how to detoxify, causing Ning Meng to succumb to the overwhelming poison and faint.
Shen Lang's injuries had just begun to improve, and this was the most critical moment. Without Ning Meng's body to guide the flow, the situation deteriorated rapidly, even becoming more dangerous than before the treatment.
Seeing Shen Lang and Ning Meng on the verge of death, Mu Qizhen felt her heart completely panicked. It wasn't just a matter of one life anymore, but two...
What to do?
Turning back to see her daughter's deeply remorseful expression, Mu Qizhen felt an immense pang of heartache. If the two of them died because of this, given her daughter's temperament, she would likely never be able to escape this guilt, and her life would inevitably be spent in sorrow.
The situation was urgent, leaving Mu Qizhen no time for prolonged deliberation. Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. For her daughter, what couldn't she do?
The next moment, Mu Qizhen smiled at her daughter and said, "Qin'er, if you teach Mommy that method of channeling, Mommy will help you bring your older brother back. You go and save Sister Ning, okay?"
"What? Mommy…you…"
Xie Qin'er understood her mother's meaning, and tears welled up in her eyes. She sobbed, "Mommy, I'm sorry, it's all Qin'er's fault, it's all Qin'er's fault…sob…"
Mu Qizhen lovingly embraced Xie Qin'er, comforting her, "Qin'er, don't cry. Right now, our most important thing is to rescue our older brother and sister. We can talk about everything else later, okay?"
Xie Qin'er knew what was important and nodded gently, tears welling in her eyes.
The next moment, Mu Qizhen began to slowly remove her clothes. She wouldn't do such a thing in front of her daughter unless absolutely necessary. Whether out of helplessness or shyness, two lines of tears slid down Mu Qizhen's face. At this moment, her feelings were as complex as her expression; her mind was blank, and she mechanically removed her clothes one by one.
Having been a widow for ten years, Mu Qizhen had always thought she would never have any contact with men again. However, life is unpredictable, and the sudden arrival of Ning Meng and Shen Lang shattered their ten years of peaceful life. Mu Qizhen was in turmoil. She didn't know what the future held, but now, she had to make amends for her daughter's mistakes.
Soon, her clothes were removed, revealing Mu Qizhen's beautiful body, as ripe as a peach. It was impossible to tell that this near-perfect body belonged to a woman in her early thirties. Her skin was delicate, white, smooth, and firm; her large breasts were firm and perky, especially the two pink nipples at their highest points, which still retained their vibrant color. Her waist was slender, almost too small to be grasped, her buttocks were high and swaying gently, and her legs were long, shapely, and firm. Her flawless body remained as youthful as a young girl's; the years had left almost no trace on her.
Looking at her mother's body, Xie Qin'er said with teary eyes, "Mom, it's all Qin'er's fault, otherwise... Qin'er would be willing to make up for it herself..."
Mu Qizhen looked at her daughter lovingly, and said resolutely, "Silly child, what are you saying? Hurry up and write, your older brother and sister are in very bad shape!"
Mu Qizhen made this decision with great determination. Shen Lang was obviously much younger than her, and already had a girlfriend. There was absolutely no future for her and him. She saved him, considering it an act of kindness, and this incident was just a fleeting dream.
Mu Qizhen had secretly decided not to tell Shen Lang about this, and would try her best to keep it from Ning Meng as well. After Shen Lang recovered, she would have them leave quickly, and from then on, she would act as if nothing had happened, continuing her peaceful life with her daughter. Perhaps this matter would gradually fade from memory.
With her daughter's help, Mu Qizhen struggled to move Ning Meng, whose body was limp and boneless, away. Then, she closed her eyes, climbed onto the bed, and tremblingly lay on top of Shen Lang.
Xie Qin'er, instructing her mother, quickly finished explaining the method of clearing the blockage. She then picked up Ning Meng and fled to the outer room to begin expelling the poison from Ning Meng.
Mu Qizhen felt Shen Lang's member gradually penetrating her body, and an uncontrollable tremor ran through her. Having not experienced sexual relations for over ten years, Mu Qizhen's body seemed to have regressed to that of a young girl, becoming exceptionally sensitive. Just the moment she touched Shen Lang's body, her face had turned as red as if dripping water. With her daughter present, Mu Qizhen had felt her face burning hot several times, almost fainting.
Now, with Shen Lang's penetration, a crimson hue rose all over Mu Qizhen's body, and crystal-clear tears streamed down her cheeks, dripping onto Shen Lang's body, seeping into his wounds, and then miraculously being absorbed by the wounds, quickly disappearing.
Shen Lang's member seemed far too imposing; how could Mu Qizhen's virgin territory, untouched for over a decade, withstand it? As Shen Lang penetrated deeper, Mu Qizhen cried out in pain, her teeth clenched, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, struggling to hold on.
Finally, he reached the very bottom, and Mu Qizhen cried out in pain. Her daughter was nearby; how could she shamelessly cry out?
Fortunately, Mu Qizhen was not a virgin. After a few "practice runs," she adapted and began to guide the disordered true energy within Shen Lang's body according to the methods her daughter had taught her.
For Mu Qizhen, an ordinary person, the energy within Shen Lang's body was far too abundant, like waves in the ocean, rushing into her body wave after wave, circulating within her, and then flowing out again. Unfortunately, Mu Qizhen's meridians were only unmodified, primitive ones, and could hardly withstand such surging true energy. Thus, the true energy began to rampage, naturally altering her narrow meridians, thereby amplifying Mu Qizhen's pain infinitely.
"It hurts so much—"
Mu Qizhen cried out in agony.
So much time had passed that Mu Qizhen seemed to have forgotten how painful her first time was, but it certainly couldn't have been more painful than this. This pain was all over her body, inside and out, and she couldn't pinpoint the exact location; she only felt that there wasn't a single unpleasant spot.
This meridian alteration process lasted nearly half an hour, and finally, Mu Qizhen's main meridians were largely altered, barely able to accommodate the flow of the abundant true energy.
The flow of true energy was now functioning properly. With Mu Qizhen's help, the toxins in Shen Lang's body were being filtered out little by little, and more true energy was being used to repair his injuries. Shen Lang's internal and external injuries began to heal at a visible speed.
Mu Qizhen kept her eyes closed. If she had opened them, she would have been astonished to see that the old flesh on Shen Lang's body was peeling away bit by bit, revealing bright white bones. Then, new flesh and blood would regrow from those white and thick bones. This process was very slow, but it was still not difficult to notice if one observed carefully, although it looked extremely terrifying and bizarre.
It turned out that, unknowingly, Shen Lang's body had begun to cultivate the final level of the Bone Refining Technique. Bones stood firm and flesh grew back, old flesh and blood disappeared without a trace, and new flesh and blood were constantly being generated, just like a rebirth.
It turned out that after this great battle, Shen Lang had unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune, his cultivation breaking through once again, reaching a level where he could regenerate his flesh and bones. Unfortunately, he was severely injured and unable to cultivate in time. After Ning Meng's initial treatment and Mu Qizhen's timely guidance, Shen Lang's physical condition had met the requirements, and he automatically began the final stage of cultivation. If he could overcome this hurdle, Shen Lang would surely advance to the Innate Realm, and his future cultivation would be on a smooth path.
Gradually, Shen Lang's consciousness recovered. Although he was not yet fully awake, his body could already move slowly. As soon as his body could move, the mysterious petal began to stir, emitting increasingly intense light, eventually forming a flower-shaped vortex.
As if instinctively, Shen Lang took the initiative, stretching out his arms to tightly embrace the woman on top of him, then suddenly flipping over, pinning her beneath him, and beginning to move rapidly.
"Eek—"
Mu Qizhen was startled by Shen Lang's movements, trembling like a frightened bird. Seeing that Shen Lang's eyes were still closed, she realized he hadn't woken up yet, and his actions were probably instinctive.
Even so, Mu Qizhen was still overwhelmed with shame, secretly praying that he wouldn't wake up, otherwise she would be utterly mortified.
As Shen Lang's body awakened, Mu Qizhen finally experienced a bittersweet joy. The exquisite pleasure she hadn't tasted in over a decade resurfaced. She began to feel immense happiness, her already extremely sensitive body trembling and spasming with each wave of pleasure. Her mind went blank, and the overwhelming sensation gradually overwhelmed her shame and worry. She even subconsciously stretched out her arms and legs, tightly entwining Shen Lang's body…
Mu Qizhen's body seemed like a bottomless pit. After absorbing more true energy than Ning Meng and enduring longer than Ning Meng, she showed almost no abnormal signs. If Ning Meng were here, she would be utterly astonished.
In fact, since Mu Qizhen was originally an ordinary person, the energy flowing into her body automatically began to transform her. After transforming her meridians, it began to transform her physical body, strengthening her bones and flesh tenfold and opening up primordial bone meridians within her.
The human body is the most exquisite product of nature, incredibly complex, and requires transformation in countless areas, making it an extremely tedious and energy-consuming process. This explains why Mu Qizhen was able to persist in combat even after such a long time.
Now, Shen Lang has opened up considerable bone meridians within Mu Qizhen's body, and streams of true essence are circulating within her, hundreds of times faster than the circulation within her meridians. With each circulation of true essence, Mu Qizhen's physique improves by one point. ...
This frenzied state continued. Mu Qizhen lost count of how much time had passed; she couldn't recall how many times she had climaxed. The man on top of her continued his relentless thrusting, like a tireless machine, pushing himself to the limit. She didn't know when he would stop, or what his condition was. Mu Qizhen clearly felt her strength waning.
She gritted her teeth and persevered a little longer, finally feeling she couldn't hold on any longer. She had never experienced such a relentless, wave-like onslaught of climaxes, feeling as if she might collapse and faint at any moment in this battle...

Chapter 322 Better Than
Nothing After an unknown amount of time, Shen Lang's astonishing process finally ended. His wounds healed, and his body became whole again. The newly grown skin was perfect; its smooth, fair texture would surely drive any woman in the world mad.
However, this state didn't last long. His fair, tender skin, upon contact with air, seemed to undergo an oxidation reaction, gradually darkening until it returned to his original bronze color, radiating a metallic sheen and texture. Upon closer inspection, every inch of his skin seemed to contain immense energy, brimming with a strong life force.
Unconsciously, Shen Lang escaped the fate of becoming a gigolo. Of course, none of the parties involved knew this.
As his injuries healed and his life force strengthened, Shen Lang gradually regained some consciousness, but he remained unconscious. Now, all his actions were almost entirely instinctive, his body controlling his brain. He clearly sensed a woman beneath him, and perhaps due to the attraction between opposite sexes, or perhaps due to the need for energy flow, his movements became increasingly frantic and violent.
Mu Qizhen noticed Shen Lang's life signs growing stronger, feeling both joy and worry. She was joyful that her sacrifice had finally yielded results, but worried that Shen Lang might suddenly wake up and know everything that had happened. At that time, Mu Qizhen wouldn't know how to face this man so much younger than herself.
Enduring both physical and psychological pressure, Mu Qizhen painfully withstood Shen Lang's onslaught. She secretly wished she could just pass out, so she wouldn't have to live in such fear, feeling like a thief. This thought filled her with both embarrassment and amusement; she was supposed to be saving someone, so why did she feel like a thief?
In reality, Mu Qizhen's desire to pass out was a pipe dream. Having lived deep in the mountains with her daughter, a plant-based ability user, who regularly provided her with spiritually rich foods, her body was incredibly resilient. Combined with the energy replenishment from Shen Lang's body, her physical strength was now almost greater than Ning Meng's. Furthermore,
Shen Lang, in his near-death state, had also absorbed a large amount of plant-based energy, resulting in a relatively strong plant attribute within him. Therefore, his attribute was complementary to Mu Qizhen's, not only refraining from easily harming her body but also facilitating a spiritual and physical fusion with her. This was why Mu Qizhen could continue fighting even after repeated climaxes.
At this moment, Mu Qizhen was drenched in fragrant sweat, exuding a captivating aroma. Coupled with her almost uncontrollable soft moans, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she possessed an innate allure; her body seemed tailor-made for this kind of cultivation.
Having long been immersed in the spiritual energy of the primeval forest, Mu Qizhen maintained an exceptionally well-preserved figure. From Shen Lang's perspective, she resembled a ten-year-old girl: full, magnificent breasts, a slender, supple waist, snow-white, high-arched buttocks, long, shapely legs… every part radiating astonishing beauty.
Although Shen Lang was currently closed-eyed and unconscious, he seemed to be able to "see" everything—a pure spiritual perception.
Mu Qizhen's secluded path was narrow and long, tightly enveloping Shen Lang. Abundant spiritual energy flowed continuously between the two, stimulating the energy of Shen Lang's life essence and beginning the final, precise repair of his body…
Under Xie Qin'er's treatment, Ning Meng quickly awoke, finding herself lying on a bed with Xie Qin'er beside her. Seeing her awake, Xie Qin'er smiled slightly, seemingly relieved.
Ning Meng suddenly remembered Shen Lang. Wasn't she just healing the bad guy? How did she end up here?
"Qin'er, how did I get here? Where's the bad guy?"
Ning Meng asked anxiously.
"Bad guy?"
Xie Qin'er naturally didn't understand this "proper term." "Ah… I mean your older brother. How is he now?"
Ning Meng blushed slightly, unconsciously using her "nickname" for Shen Lang.
Fortunately, Xie Qin'er didn't pry. Her expression flickered awkwardly for a moment before she replied, "Mom is... helping my brother with his treatment. He should be alright now, right?"
Xie Qin'er had secretly checked on him earlier and found that her older brother's condition had stabilized, and her mother was also doing well, except for being a little tired.
Ning Meng quickly jumped out of bed and said, "I want to go see!"
Although Xie Qin'er was naive, she wasn't completely ignorant. At least she understood things like women being jealous or possessive. Her mother was using that method to help her older brother; if his girlfriend, Sister Ning, saw it, wouldn't she be upset? Would she be angry?
So, Xie Qin'er grabbed Ning Meng's arm and pleaded, "Sister, please...don't go now, okay?"
Ning Meng was confused and asked, "Why?"
Xie Qin'er didn't know how to answer, her face flushed red, and she stamped her foot anxiously, stammering, "Anyway...it seems a bit inconvenient, please don't go yet, okay?"
"Inconvenient?"
Ning Meng pondered Xie Qin'er's words carefully, suddenly remembering what happened before she fainted, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Sister Mu was also using that method to heal Shen Lang's injuries?
Seeing Ning Meng's sudden change in expression, the quick-witted Xie Qin'er immediately sensed that Ning Meng had already figured it out. Thinking Ning Meng was angry, her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes again. She sobbed as she explained, "Sister Ning, you've probably guessed it already, haven't you? Actually, this is all Qin'er's fault, not Mother's. Qin'er forgot to teach you how to detoxify, causing the poison to accumulate in your body and make you faint. At that time, Big Brother's condition was very dangerous, so... Mother had to take your place... to treat Big Brother. Sister Ning, please don't be angry, okay? It's all Qin'er's fault. Please don't blame Mother, okay?"
Ning Meng had indeed thought of these things, but wasn't sure. Only after Xie Qin'er's explanation did she realize it was true. A wave of surprise washed over her, unsure whether it was more shock or emotion. She could almost feel the danger of the situation and the plight of the mother and daughter.
If they had simply left themselves and Shen Lang alone, nothing would have happened. They could have easily buried them in the deep mountains without anyone noticing. But they didn't do that, and instead, Mu Qizhen lost her innocence!
Ning Meng couldn't hold back her tears. She gently pulled Xie Qin'er into her arms and whispered, "Good Qin'er, thank you, thank you, Mom. I don't know what to say. I won't blame you. We're the ones who are sorry, so sorry!"
Xie Qin'er was overjoyed to hear Ning Meng's words and asked, "Sister, you really don't blame us?"
Ning Meng was both touched and amused, saying, "Silly girl, what are you saying? If it weren't for you and your mother, your older brother and I would be dead. It's never my place to blame you. As long as you don't blame us for disturbing your peaceful life, that's enough."
Xie Qin'er finally felt completely relieved, her smile shining brightly through her tears, like a pure white orchid blooming in a secluded valley, radiating her unique and innocent beauty. ...
After waiting for a long time, Ning Meng finally heard the noise from the room disappear, presumably the treatment was complete, and then she and Xie Qin'er went inside.
The two women entered and saw Shen Lang and Mu Qizhen still in a sexual position, though both were unconscious and seemingly unharmed.
Shen Lang's wounds had completely healed, and he was now perfectly healthy, as if he had never been seriously injured.
Ning Meng wept with joy. With Xie Qin'er's help, she separated Shen Lang and Mu Qizhen, letting Xie Qin'er carry Mu Qizhen away to clean her, while Ning Meng cleaned up the marks on Shen Lang.
Ning Meng quickly cleaned Shen Lang and put him back on the bed. Seeing his peaceful sleeping state, she finally felt completely relieved. She leaned down and gently kissed his lips before leaving to let him rest.
In another room, Ning Meng found Mu Qizhen still awake, having just finished bathing and changing into new clothes. She was currently combing her hair, while Xie Qin'er helped her. The two seemed to be talking like mother and daughter, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere.
In fact, Mu Qizhen had only been knocked unconscious during Shen Lang's final, frenzied thrust. After bathing, she naturally woke up quickly, her body brimming with energy and vitality, and no longer needed to rest in bed. She only felt a slight pain in her lower body; after all, she hadn't experienced anything like this in a long time, and this sudden onslaught had taken its toll, likely causing some minor injuries.
Ning Meng stood at the door, not immediately going in. Watching this moving scene, she found her tears flowing uncontrollably. For Mu Qizhen, this sacrifice was immense; perhaps there were few women in the world kinder than her.
Suddenly, Ning Meng noticed that Mu Qizhen's body seemed to be emitting a faint glow. Thinking she was seeing things, she looked again and realized that there really was such a faint glow surrounding her—a soft, gentle white luminescence, like milk, constantly flowing, like a stream of light around her body, mysterious and strange.
Could it be that Sister Mu had truly become a benevolent fairy? Ning Meng found her own thought somewhat amusing, and chuckled softly. Suddenly, she noticed a faint halo around herself, not as pronounced as Mu Qizhen's, but still visible upon closer inspection.
Ning Meng was puzzled. A thought struck her, and she carefully examined her body. To her astonishment, she discovered that the energy within her had increased by no less than a hundred times!
A hundred times—that's equivalent to a hundred times her original self! To cultivate honestly, it would take at least sixty years of arduous practice!
Could it be related to Shen Lang…?
This possibility filled Ning Meng with shock. Could Mu Qizhen, like herself, have had a massive influx of energy from Shen Lang, resulting in a surge in power? No wonder she felt like her body was about to explode earlier; it turned out she was expanding her meridians and replenishing her energy.
Ning Meng finally felt a little better. She and Shen Lang could never repay Mu Qizhen's kindness, not even a fraction of it. Now, Mu Qizhen's body had been subtly transformed, though it was disproportionate to the sacrifices she had made, it was still a small compensation, better than nothing. At least Mu Qizhen would never be afflicted by illness again, and would live a long and youthful life.
Ning Meng knew that this life-saving grace could never be repaid. If Mu Qizhen had any requests, she would definitely help them fulfill them. Besides, Mu Qizhen had become Shen Lang's de facto woman. She wasn't sure if she should tell Shen Lang about this; he certainly had the right to know, but she should still ask Mu Qizhen's opinion.
Thinking this, Ning Meng smiled and entered the room, sweetly calling out, "Sister Mu..."

Chapter 323 Concealing the Truth
Mu Qizhen turned around and saw Ning Meng walk in. She quickly said, "Sister Ning, please sit down. I'll be right there."
Ning Meng said, "Sister Mu, please go ahead with your work. I don't have anything... important to say. I just wanted to talk to you."
Mu Qizhen had already guessed Ning Meng's purpose, so she said to Xie Qin'er, "Qin'er, your mother and your sister Ning have something to say. Go and prepare dinner."
Xie Qin'er obediently agreed, put down what she was holding, and went out.
Ning Meng sat down on a chair, feeling a faint pain in her lower body, and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this, Mu Qizhen smiled and said, "Little Ning, don't blame me for being nosy, is this your first time?"
Ning Meng blushed and admitted, "Yes."
Mu Qizhen smiled gently, "I've been there before. A woman's first time is always a little tough. Take good care of yourself, and you'll be fully recovered in two or three days. I'll have Qin'er get you some herbal medicine later, which should help you recover faster and reduce your pain."
A strong feeling of emotion welled up in Ning Meng's heart, and she felt her eyes welling up with tears. Looking at the gentle Mu Qizhen, Ning Meng suddenly thought of Tian Qingya. Among all the women she had met, only Tian Qingya and Mu Qizhen were as gentle. They were very similar, both so gentle and beautiful, with quiet and calm demeanor, and even their words could bring warmth.
"Thank you, Sister Mu. Although a thousand thanks can't repay what you and my daughter have done for Shen Lang and me, I still want to say thank you, thank you so much. Without you, I really don't know what we would be like now!"
Ning Meng felt she was becoming somewhat incoherent, gently wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes and smiling sheepishly.
Actually, Mu Qizhen's heart was filled with complex emotions at this moment. To have done that kind of thing with a man she had just met, even if it was in a moment of urgency, still felt rather...horrifying to Mu Qizhen, like cheating. And this particular "cheating" was witnessed by her daughter, leaving her with a deep-seated resentment; she couldn't guarantee her daughter wouldn't feel the same way.
Ning Meng's tears weighed heavily on Mu Qizhen's mind. She felt that everything she had done was voluntary, and there was also an element of making amends for her daughter's mistake. She felt she couldn't possibly bear Ning Meng's heavy gratitude.
“Sister Ning, what you’re saying… is a bit too serious. Actually, we’re partly to blame too. It was Qin’er’s negligence that put you and Shen Lang in danger. I… did what I should have done. Although it’s a bit embarrassing to talk about, since it’s already happened, let’s not bring it up again, okay?”
Mu Qizhen didn’t want Ning Meng to bring it up again; there was an element of avoidance in her words. Fortunately, Shen Lang was still asleep. If he were awake, would she still be able to speak so naturally? She probably wouldn’t even know where to put her hands when she was with him.
“Sister Mu, you mean…”
Ning Meng was an intelligent girl and naturally understood the meaning behind Mu Qizhen’s words. She hoped that this matter would end there, that her older sister would treat it as if it were a dream, not take it seriously, and then completely forget about it, just like forgetting everything else.
"Hmm, I hope Shen Lang doesn't find out, otherwise... it will be very difficult for my sister, okay? I've already told Qin'er, she won't say anything, let's just forget about this completely. If Shen Lang remembers anything, just say... that woman was you."
Mu Qizhen said this with a hint of pleading on her face. She didn't want Shen Lang to know, partly because she didn't want to change their peaceful life, and partly because she didn't want to add any trouble or burden to Shen Lang's mind. Mu Qizhen could tell that Ning Meng was a very outstanding girl, and for such an outstanding girl to be so devoted to Shen Lang proved that Shen Lang was also a very outstanding man. After something like this happened, a man like him certainly wouldn't be indifferent, and it would put both of them in a difficult position.
Rather than putting both of them in a difficult position, it would be better to completely cover it up. There are always many unexpected things in life, some of which are beautiful, but also very frustrating. Things can't be perfect. Isn't it good to keep these unexpected things deep in your heart as a precious memory?
Mu Qizhen thought that Shen Lang was probably a passerby and a jinx in her life. He made her feel the joy of being a woman that she had never experienced before. This memory was beautiful, and once was enough. She shouldn't be so greedy. Ning Meng couldn't hold back her tears, letting them stream down her face. Her face was full of smiles, containing gratitude, regret, respect, and an indescribable, deep bitterness. ...
A sleepless night, a silent night, until just as dawn was breaking, the two women with complicated thoughts finally drifted off to sleep. As
the sky gradually brightened, sunlight slanted through the dense foliage, dappling the ground. Wisps of mist shrouded the trees, flowing slowly. The forest began to stir from quiet to noisy. Birdsong filled the cool, refreshing morning, like celestial music, drifting into Shen Lang's ears. He quickly woke up from his sleep.
Even before opening his eyes, Shen Lang had already let down his guard. This place was incredibly peaceful, devoid of any murderous aura. Abundant spiritual energy filled the surroundings, and even the air was occasionally wafted with a delicate fragrance, the source of which was unknown, fresh and refined, elegant and serene, giving one an unparalleled sense of peace and tranquility.
Why was he here? Where was he?
Shen Lang's mind was sound; he quickly recalled what had happened before. He guessed he had been injured in that massive explosion and ended up here.
Since this place was safe, he decided to make the best of it. Shen Lang slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a large, soft bed, covered with a smooth, uniquely patterned, and aesthetically pleasing quilt. It was an exquisite, all-wooden room.
Shen Lang fell in love with it at first sight. This naturally formed wooden cabin showed no signs of being carved or hewn, as if it had grown from among a giant tree. The smooth, flat floor, the stunningly patterned roof, and the small, elegant doors and windows all proclaimed the cabin's simplicity and splendor.
Shen Lang inwardly praised the craftsman who could build such an exquisite wooden house; he was no ordinary artisan. He wanted to sit up and investigate.
Shen Lang easily sat up. Not only did he feel perfectly fine, but... a strange feeling enveloped him—a sense of ease and comfort he had never experienced before. Shen Lang felt light as a feather, as if he might fly away at any moment.
Shen Lang was greatly surprised. What was going on? Had he never been injured? But then again, how could he have fainted if he hadn't been injured?
Filled with doubt, Shen Lang quickly examined his body. He was stunned. This body seemed no longer his own. But that didn't quite add up, because it was a completely new body. His meridians and flesh were entirely renewed, and the strength of his bones had increased to an astonishing level, as hard as refined steel.
What shocked Shen Lang most was that all the bones and meridians in his body seemed to have vanished, leaving no trace. However, his true essence energy didn't decrease; instead, it increased a thousandfold, surging and surging, abundant and powerful.
What was going on?
Shen Lang racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He had thoroughly mastered the "Bone Refining Technique," yet the book didn't mention this situation at all.
If he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't dwell on it—that was Shen Lang's usual approach. There was no need to get bogged down in a rut and add to his troubles.
A thought struck Shen Lang: Where was Ning Meng? He remembered being with Ning Meng before he fainted. Where had she gone?
Then, his divine sense, countless times stronger than before, extended out, immediately filling the entire small house. He quickly spotted Ning Meng, along with two unfamiliar women.
Three women were huddled on one bed, a blanket draped diagonally over their alluring, seductive bodies. One of them, a restless sleeper, had kicked the blanket off, leaving only the lower half of their bodies covered. All three women wore identical undergarments, their faces exquisitely beautiful, serene and serene, their delicate skin radiating a milky glow. They were all described as having flawless, porcelain-like skin, exuding breathtaking beauty. Shen Lang was puzzled.
Ning Meng was one thing, but who were the other two women?
Just then, Xie Qin'er suddenly frowned, as if someone was spying on her. She pouted in displeasure and turned over.
Shen Lang was startled and quickly withdrew his spiritual sense. He was secretly amazed. Who was this little girl? How could she be so sensitive, able to detect his spiritual sense?
Never mind, everything would be clear when they woke up. Why waste his energy guessing here?
Shen Lang got out of bed and looked at the neatly folded clothes and shoes on the table beside him. Without caring whether they were for him or not, he picked them up and put them on. The clothes were a very old-fashioned style of Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing), without buttons, just a few straps casually sewn on. It seemed to have been made on the spot, but Shen Lang found it very interesting nonetheless.
The size was perfect, and although he couldn't tell what the material was, it felt smooth and lightweight, which pleased Shen Lang greatly. He
slowly stepped out of the exquisite little wooden house, taking a deep breath of fresh air. He felt as if his lungs had been cleansed, an indescribable comfort and ease.
The courtyard was full of blooming flowers, clean and refreshing, surrounded by ancient trees, lush and verdant. Shen Lang felt that this place was truly like a legendary paradise. Just standing here for a moment could wash away all the fatigue and weariness, allowing the soul to regain peace and purity.
Shen Lang thought to himself, "What a wonderful place! Calling it a place of exceptional beauty is not an exaggeration!" With a keen interest, Shen Lang, who had been wandering around, strode deeper into the forest…

Chapter 324 The Truth About Journey to the West (
This chapter is a parody; please read and don't take it too seriously. We are not responsible for any discomfort caused!) The sheer density of spiritual energy in this forest astonished Shen Lang; no wonder the trees and plants grew so lushly.
Treasures were hidden everywhere in the forest; herbs and mountain delicacies were as common as ordinary weeds. Small animals frequently appeared, seemingly unafraid of humans, swaggering past Shen Lang, sometimes even gathering around to observe this uninvited guest.
Shen Lang shook his head and smiled wryly; this was probably the first time he'd ever been observed by a group of small animals.
Shen Lang wandered around for a while but didn't encounter any large animals, which was rather strange.
Soon they turned to the stream and stopped. Looking at the clear water, which was less than a meter deep, the bottom was crystal clear and fish were swimming around. They looked very plump, and some of them were species he had never seen before.
Shen Lang sighed deeply. Back in Chengjia Village, he thought it was a blessed land, but now, having arrived here, he realized the true allure of this paradise. Living here for two or three months every day would be an absolute delight, far surpassing any resort. However, such a blessed place wasn't suitable for development; a large influx of tourists would surely destroy its beauty and bounty in no time.
Returning to the cabin, Shen Lang found the three women already awake. Since they weren't in the bedroom, he heard noises from the backyard and went over.
Behind the cabin was another courtyard, similar in size to the front, but instead of flowers and plants, it was filled with everyday items and drying herbs and mountain delicacies. At first glance, it resembled a treasure trove; any one item there would be a rare gem.
The three women wore traditional Chinese clothing in a retro style, their hair styled simply, looking both beautiful and alluring, like three graceful fairies. Shen Lang's heart pounded.
At that moment, the three women were busy at work. Ning Meng and the pretty young woman walked with a somewhat strange gait, while the young girl walked normally, which puzzled Shen Lang.
Ning Meng was helping the pretty young woman prepare some food, seemingly for breakfast, while the pretty young girl was diligently tending to her herbs.
Upon seeing Shen Lang return, the three women paused, their work stopping.
Ning Meng slowly walked over and said, "You're back, you bad guy. I thought you were missing. Qin'er said you were out playing. Come, let me formally introduce you to your two saviors. This is Sister Mu Qizhen, your mother, and this is Xie Qin'er, your daughter. If we hadn't met them yesterday, I'm afraid... Hurry up and thank them!"
Shen Lang was greatly surprised, not expecting that this mother and daughter were actually good doctors. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Sister Mu, I will never forget your life-saving grace. I can't thank you enough. From now on, you are my own sister!"
Mu Qizhen smiled slightly and kept saying polite words, but her expression was rather unnatural and she seemed quite awkward. Shen Lang naturally didn't know what was going on, but he could only keep his doubts to himself.
Xie Qin'er, on the other hand, acted quite naturally. She walked over and circled around Shen Lang, then smiled and said, "Big brother, you're completely healed now! How are you going to thank me?"
Shen Lang immediately took a liking to this simple and innocent little girl, and smiled, "Qin'er, how do you want me to thank you? Just say whatever you want. As long as I can do it, I certainly won't refuse."
Mu Qizhen shook her head in exasperation upon hearing her daughter's words, and scolded her daughter sternly, "Qin'er, how have I taught you? How can you be so insensible?"
Xie Qin'er "Mom, don't be angry," Mu Qizhen said with a smile. "Qin'er was just joking with her big brother. Look at you, acting like he's really that immature."
Mu Qizhen couldn't keep a straight face any longer and burst out laughing, spitting out, "You're not learning anything good!"
Shen Lang hurriedly said, "Sister Mu, it's really okay."
Mu Qizhen smiled and said, "Don't talk about that now. Qin'er, come help Mom make breakfast. Ning, why don't you go for a walk with Shen Lang?"
Mu Qizhen naturally knew that Shen Lang would definitely have a lot of questions to ask, so she tactfully made things convenient for the two of them.
Shen Lang was secretly grateful. This Mu Qizhen was so understanding. He just didn't know how such a beautiful and kind woman could live in this deep mountain forest with her daughter. ...
More than ten minutes later, Shen Lang finally learned about what had happened yesterday. Of course, he deliberately kept the part about Mu Qizhen risking her life to save Ning Meng from him.
After listening to Ning Meng's story, Shen Lang was deeply moved. He gently embraced her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Mengmeng, I'm so sorry... I've made you suffer."
Ning Meng enjoyed Shen Lang's tenderness and said coquettishly, "It still hurts down there, so how are you going to thank me?"
Shen Lang chuckled and said, "I'll thank you however you want, maybe with my body at most."
Ning Meng burst out laughing and scolded, "You shameless man! I don't want a bad guy like you. You really bullied me terribly yesterday."
Shen Lang kissed Ning Meng's delicate earlobe and said, "My dear wife, I will repay your kindness in the future."
Ning Meng was kissed by Shen Lang... Her body went weak, and she said sweetly, "We're talking, please let me go first."
Shen Lang refused Ning Meng's request, saying, "No, I just want to hold you like this right now, Mengmeng. I love you to the core, I want it to be like this forever. As long as I hold you, I don't need to eat or drink."
Hearing Shen Lang's blatant words of love, Ning Meng felt a surge of emotion. She had no doubt about the sincerity of his words, but she still said coquettishly, "You're talking nonsense. If I don't eat or drink, I'll die soon."
Shen Lang said, "Do you know what 'beauty is food for the eyes' means? One look at my good Mengmeng can satisfy three years of hunger. Just a dozen or twenty glances at you, and my whole life will be over."
Ning Meng was moved by Shen Lang's words. She spoke with great delight, laughing heartily, and playfully scolded, "Get lost! If someone did that, wouldn't they become a monster?"
Shen Lang said seriously, "Wrong, not a monster."
Ning Meng pouted, "Can't I even be a monster if I want to?"
Shen Lang said, "It's not that you can't, it's just that you can't be a monster, you have to be a fairy."
Ning Meng retorted, "What's the difference? They're both fairies."
Shen Lang said, "My dear wife, you don't understand. Monsters are male, and fairies are female. Fairies also have genders, okay?"
Ning Meng giggled, "You're talking nonsense. Who made that rule?"
Shen Lang said, "It was made by the working people of ancient China. For example, if a woman seduces me..." "What would you call her?"
Ning Meng replied without hesitation, "A fox spirit."
Shen Lang chuckled and said, "That settles it. Why don't you call her a fox monster?"
Ning Meng was taken aback, then showed a slight look of annoyance and said, "You're bullying me, because there's no such thing as a fox monster!" Shen Lang
said, "Let's talk about 'Journey to the West.' There are many demons in it, right? Look at the Black Wind Monster, the Yellow Wind Monster, the Yellow Robe Monster, the Lion Monster... Why are they called monsters? Because they're all male. And look at the White Bone Demon, the Pipa Demon, the Spider Demon, the Rat Demon, the Jade Rabbit Demon... Why are they called spirits? Because they're all female. Do you know why all those demons like Tang Sanzang so much?"
"I don't know!"
Ning Meng told the truth. Although she knew Shen Lang was talking nonsense, she still couldn't help but want to know the truth and the reason.
Shen Lang coughed twice, feigning seriousness, and said, "Actually, humans and demons are different, just like the household registration system. Humans have human registration, and demons have demon registration. Humans and demons can never be equal. It's like our country's household registration system: demon registration is equivalent to rural household registration, while human registration is equivalent to urban household registration. And Tang Sanzang? He's the emperor's brother, the imperial brother, a member of the royal family, a high-performing stock, a diamond bachelor, a golden turtle. If you marry a man like that, wow, you'll rise to the top in one step! It's like having a long-term meal ticket and a Beijing household registration. Tell me, what would that mean?" How could these demons not be tempted? But Tang Sanzang was destined to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures; it was ordained by Heaven. They couldn't keep him, but they couldn't just let him go, could they? Even if they couldn't keep him, they could keep his son. In the future, the mother would gain status through her son, and the effect would be the same. "Demon, demon," as the name suggests, is a homophone for "wanting to be clever." With cleverness comes a son. In the future, when they bring Tang Sanzang's son to knock on Li Shimin's palace gates, would he dare refuse to grant them a Beijing residency? All that talk about eating Tang Sanzang's flesh is just fluff, all a fog; the truth is hidden underneath. "
Pfft—"
Ning Meng couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, laughing so hard her stomach ached. This affected her injured little sister below, who almost cried from the pain. She said with great difficulty, "Go to hell! You're making me laugh to death! You bad person, you start spouting nonsense as soon as your injury heals! If I'd known this would happen, I would have killed you yesterday!"
Shen Lang scoffed, "Hmph, if I died, wouldn't you be heartbroken? I finally revealed this earth-shattering secret to you, and you didn't believe me."
Ning Meng spat, "How can I believe you? You're spouting complete nonsense! There are five people in the story, master and disciples. If we're going to focus on the 'essence,' why Tang Sanzang specifically?"
Shen Lang clicked his tongue and chuckled, "Sigh, hearing you ask that question immediately makes me feel intellectually superior.
The reasons are: First, Tang Sanzang is a pretty boy, handsome, and has excellent genes. If you had to choose a man, would you choose the catfish monster or Tang Sanzang? For the sake of your offspring, shouldn't you be picky? Even though demons are demons, they still have aesthetic standards, don't they? Otherwise, how could they all become so beautiful? Why didn't they become Sister Feng or Little Yueyue? The White Dragon's human form is also good, but he's an aquatic creature. Demons don't want their children to grow up looking like..." First, are they covered in scales?
Second, Tang Sanzang's martial arts skills are low, making him easy to manipulate. They can force him into marriage or do whatever they want. Think about it: when Tang Sanzang was captured by the demons and taken to their cave, he was either tied up with ropes or whipped. They could do whatever they wanted with him! The whole *Journey to the West* is practically a BDSM movie! The other four are all incredibly powerful; even the demons know their place. Do you think forcing Cai Guoqing into marriage is easier, or forcing Li Lianjie into marriage?
Third, Tang Sanzang is human. If the demons merged his genes, wouldn't their offspring become *humans*? Having human status would be a complete turnaround, even if they had some past transgressions. "Even bad deeds can be whitewashed, right? He's royalty, who dares to dig up his past? What about the other three? A monkey monster, a pig monster, and two water monsters. Even if they have offspring, they'll still be demons, which is pointless.
Fourth, Tang Sanzang is royalty and has a clean record—that's solid, hard evidence! What about the other three? They're all exiled officials. What are exiled officials? Convicts! To put it more bluntly, they're political criminals. They all offended their superiors and suffered because of their past. These are all criminal records, stains on their reputations. How could demons want their children to have a criminal father?
Fifth…"
"Stop—"
Ning Meng finally couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears. "Don't say anymore! If you keep going, you'll completely ruin my worldview. I used to really enjoy watching 'Journey to the West,' but after what you said, I'm definitely not watching it anymore. You're so vulgar!"
