Chapter 699: Chapter 696 You Push Me, I Push You

The moonlight energy could actually repair Miss’s meridians; Lin Tian, seeing this, was both surprised and excited. It had always been bad news, but finally, there was something good, and he let out a huge sigh of relief.

Lin Tian remembered that the last time he was hurt in the back by the Heavenly Master Girl, he also healed by absorbing moonlight energy, but that time there was also the Moonlight Fruit, which is an even purer form of energy than the moonlight itself.

As the absorption of the moonlight increased, Xiao Manxue’s meridians not only stopped cracking but also began to slowly heal. Eventually, under the dual effects of the moonlight and her own True Qi, all her meridians were repaired, becoming more resilient and wider than before, allowing more True Qi to pass through.

Since the meridians were already repaired, the subsequent moonlight that was absorbed had nowhere to go and mixed with Xiao Manxue’s True Qi, intertwining and fusing with each other.

True Qi, after absorbing the moonlight and circulating through a Zhou Tian, would increase a bit, and as the moonlight was continuously absorbed, the True Qi also continuously strengthened.

Because of Lin Tian’s cultivation, the concentration of moonlight around Xiao Manxue was very high, allowing her to absorb more and more, increasing her True Qi rapidly. After forty-nine Zhou Tian cycles, Xiao Manxue’s internal True Qi had actually doubled.

The enhanced meridians then reached their limit, and stronger True Qi once again caused the meridians to crack!

Xiao Manxue, who had just relaxed, suddenly felt an intense pain attacking her again, even harsher than before. She couldn’t help but tremble, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Damn it," Lin Tian watched anxiously, not knowing whether this was good or bad, because after the meridians showed signs of fracturing again, the moonlight healed them once more.

This cycle began, repairing, the meridians becoming stronger, True Qi becoming stronger, meridians reaching their limit, cracks appearing again, and then repairing. This cycle occurred every time after forty-nine Zhou Tian cycles.

Xiao Manxue had to endure the torture of the pain again and again, and each time was crueler than the last. She couldn’t faint; she had to maintain the last bit of lucidity to continue pushing the True Qi to circulate and to continue breaking through to the Postnatal Perfection Realm.

Even Lin Tian didn’t know how many times this cycle had gone on, but now, Xiao Manxue’s meridians were not just ten times more resilient, and her True Qi had increased by far more than tenfold.

Suddenly, Xiao Manxue’s eyes snapped open, a divine light flashed in their depths, and what Lin Tian saw was her internal True Qi crazily rushing towards her heart meridian.

The gold wire Lin Tian had placed at the center of her chest was gradually pushed out, and with one final rush of True Qi, the gold wire was ejected and shot toward Lin Tian, who was close by.

He moved quickly, reaching out to catch the gold wire and safely stored it away. The gold wire’s exit indicated that the stabilizer was gone; the True Qi had no further obstructions and surged into the heart meridian.

But, no heart meridian rupture occurred because, after many enhancements, her heart meridian could withstand the strong impact. As the True Qi charged through the heart meridian, it seemed to be guided by Xiao Manxue, flowing downward, entering the Lower Elixir Field.

True Qi congregated in the Elixir Field, forming a spherical True Qi Ball, and at the same time, Xiao Manxue’s hands formed several complex seals over the location of her Lower Elixir Field, causing the True Qi Ball to suddenly compress inward.

It shrank to half its size, seemingly unable to compress further, and finally stabilized. The True Qi Ball seemed to be in a gaseous state before, but after compression, it turned into a mixed state of half-liquid, half-gas, suspended in the void of the Elixir Field, emitting a faint blue light.

"Did it succeed?" Lin Tian asked somewhat excitedly; he did not know what a breakthrough to Postnatal Perfection looked like, so he was also unsure if Miss had succeeded.

Xiao Manxue seemed to be feeling the changes in her body and only after a while did she say, "Yes, I succeeded."

Hearing this good news, Lin Tian’s anxious heart finally settled.

At this moment, Xiao Manxue’s face was still dotted with beads of sweat, a few strands of her hair sticking to her cheeks, giving her a disorderly beauty. Her skin seemed even more translucent and radiant.

"Lin Tian, thank you. If it weren’t for your help, I might really have had more bad luck than good this time," Xiao Manxue said very sincerely.

"You fell into danger, and I have my share of the responsibility. Besides, I haven’t really helped much," Lin Tian said.

"I was the one who misunderstood you first, so I can’t blame you for that. Moreover, I know what you’ve done for me: you inspired my enlightenment, the Nine Needle Technique protected my heart meridian, and you attracted Moonlight Energy, which enabled me to successfully break through to the Postnatal Perfection Realm," Xiao Manxue still said seriously.

"I didn’t suffer any consumption or damage in my breakthrough this time, all thanks to you. If I had attempted to break through on my own, not to mention whether I could have succeeded, even if I did, my meridians would have undoubtedly been greatly damaged. I don’t know how long it would have taken to recover. How should I even begin to thank you?" Xiao Manxue sighed.

"Well, if you really must thank me, I don’t need you to dedicate your life to me or anything like that. A simple kiss would suffice as thanks," Lin Tian said, pointing at his own lips, deliberately squinting in a lecherous manner.

His aim was to shift Miss’s attention so that she would drop the subject of gratitude and repaying him. To be honest, he really didn’t care about being thanked or repaid.

However, to his surprise, instead of getting angry and calling Lin Tian a lecher, Xiao Manxue’s cheeks blushed slightly, her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, as if she was wrestling with her thoughts.

This strange reaction stopped Lin Tian in his tracks. If this had been any other time, she probably would have drawn her sword on him. The situation was just too odd –— could her mind have been damaged during the breakthrough? Lin Tian couldn’t help but wildly speculate.

While he was bewildered, Miss suddenly leaned in, and Lin Tian, caught unsuspecting, was ambushed with a kiss. Putting aside everything else, using Ancient Martial skills to carry out a stealth kiss surely deserved full points for creativity.

Xiao Manxue, being rather shy, quickly drew back after a brief touch like a dragonfly skimming the water surface, but Lin Tian was still stunned by her move. The female president was usually at odds with him — what was with that recent "stolen kiss"?

Damn it, Lin Tian was even more bewildered. Just after he had been scoffing at Zhou Botong for being pushed over by Ou Mengmeng, he himself had been initiated by Miss. Since when had Miss become so passionate and fierce?

No way, as a man, how could I let Miss take the initiative? I should be the proactive one, Lin Tian shamelessly thought to himself, then, with a flicker in his posture, suddenly appeared in front of Miss.

As an Ancient Martial Artist, she naturally sensed Lin Tian’s stealthy move, but couldn’t react fast enough. Before she could even comprehend, Lin Tian had already stolen a kiss in return.

The sudden intense action left Kikuchi Mika, who was in the car, dumbfounded. Her face turned red as she thought, why are these two even more forward than Westerners, and right by the roadside, no less.

Xiao Manxue, looking at the smug Lin Tian, was both angry and embarrassed, her face blushing even more, and she could only pretend to be fierce: "Come any closer, and I’ll kill you!"

Man, isn’t that a sign for me? Lin Tian thought amusedly as he moved again, suddenly appearing once more.

"Lin... Tian, what... what are you doing?" Xiao Manxue didn’t expect Lin Tian to be so brazen, and for a moment she was somewhat caught off guard.
