[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 193 - 192: Stimulation

Chapter 192: Stimulation

"Are your words reliable, Marshal?" Xi Qianchen asked without even concealing his doubts after He Li told them the story. Even his family’s expression had a rare crack on their faces as they obviously could not believe his words.

"It’s true." He Li confirmed and only those two words convinced them that what he was saying was the truth.

Xi Qianchen exhales a disbelieving sigh and leans his back on the chair. "So that’s why you found out about the Old Admiral Sheng’s crime? Through him and Fu Minghao?"

"Yes."

"Then are you sure that bringing him here would make his situation better?" He Zhen asked but for such an unexpected response, they actually saw a bit of hesitation on He Li’s face.

He Li’s family couldn’t help but look at each other, noticing the surprise on their eyes. This is such a rare reaction from him. If He Li himself wasn’t even that sure that the old tree can save the young man, how could he take the risk and decide to bring him here even knowing that it will such possibly endanger his position as the Marshal?

If the other aristocratic family would know this, they’d surely ask for a condition in order to agree for Qin An to stay here. They are definitely sure that He Li knew that. And with his position right now, it was such a risk.

Yet, he actually does it.

For Qin An? Why? How powerful was really him? Even though he already explained it to them, seeing or experiencing it personally was another thing so until now, they are just calm because they trust He Li, not the unfamiliar young man himself.

Now, looking at He Li, it seems that there’s still something going on that they didn’t know.

Xia Qianchen also noticed this and was about to continue asking when they heard the door was knocked and open.

"Marshal, he’s awake," Ji Wen announced.

That brings a smile to Xia Qianchen’s face. "Can we meet him too?"

He Li nodded and they wasted no time to go to Qin An who was now seen sitting on the bed with a deep frown on his face.

"Qin An," He Li calls the young man’s name.

The young man raised his head and their eyes met.

"What happened?" Qin An asked with a slight hoarse voice.

"You fainted earlier." He told him what happened underwater and the young man fell in silence.

"... are you okay?" he asked again.

Qin An sighs and looks around instead of answering his question. "Where am I?" However when he saw the familiar old tree of the peach blossom, he instantly knew he was in the private laboratory.

As He Li explained his reasons, the other people on their side were just silently observing the two.

The young man is looking at the old tree outside the glass room while He Li is standing on the side and explaining patiently in a low voice. What actually made Hou Nian notice was the look on her son’s eyes. Even if he was looking normal, she observed the silent gaze he put towards the young man.

It has a faint complex and a bit of hesitation that she didn’t know about. This made her tilt her head slightly.

What she’s witnessing was really a rare occurance from her reliable son. He seemed to have something to say but didn’t know how to express which was not really his attitude at all. Since when did He Li look troubled for something in his thoughts? He Li is definitely silent but will always voice out his opinions.

A look of interest flashed on her eyes.

Meanwhile, Qin An is closely observing the old tree while listening to He Li.

What happened earlier made him realize his drastic changes within himself. If this was in the past, even when the Judge decides on something, he would rather just do it than thinking about the reasons deeper.

He didn’t know when he started to be so conscious about these things that actually resulted in what happened earlier. He was swayed by his own thoughts and failed to clean up straight.

He let himself be drawn to the doubts inside him and failed to do his job properly.

Now, looking at the peach blossom tree, he could see the spiritual energy around it weaker than what he saw in the past. That was such a short time but considering how old this was and had been contributing to mankind, its changes are already alarming.

This will not just make problems for him but definitely for everyone in this world. There was nothing aside from this tree. If this sole medicine would even go away in the future, what will be the outcome? He couldn’t bear to imagine the world that might await them.

They have to do something.

Even if he thinks that this will also change something in his life, he has to do so now.

"Can you call for Shen Lou and Mentor Su?" Qin An asked.

He Li pauses and seems to understand his thoughts but looking at the new firmness on the young man’s face, he just nodded lightly and called for them.

While waiting, he also got to know the other people inside the room but they couldn’t talk more because the two came quickly to the room.

"After stimulating the core inside you, some things will change." Qin An said with a solemn tone on his voice.

Su Jinxi smiled slightly. "I am always welcome by that, Classmate Qin." Shen Lou also nodded so Qin An exhaled a sigh before slightly raising his hands.

His fingers formed a strange formation and a familiar golden light appeared. Two small magic circles appeared floating in the air and the people inside the room suddenly felt an unfamiliar energy surrounding them.

It was not the usual gentle spiritual energy that they felt whenever Qin An treated them nor the energy he uses when fighting, rather it feels something majestic that they couldn’t help but hold their breath slightly.

A light escaped from both magic circles and it floated on Shen Lou and Su Jinxi’s eye level.

"Bear with it," Qin An warned them before letting the light enter their eyes.

As soon as they both felt the energy penetrating their eyes, Shen Lou and Su Jinxi felt the burning sensation inside them.

It was not burning like fire like what Shen Lou felt when a dark element tried to steal his body but an energy that felt very intimidating and authoritative.

A coercion from something they didn’t know was like someone who’s very powerful is placing their hands on their eyes and transferring something holy and special inside them.

This makes them feel the extreme heaviness inside them that they couldn’t describe the exact feeling. All they knew was that right now, their necks felt like it was blocked by something that they couldn’t breathe properly.

It was too heavy. The coercion that enters their body was not something that they couldn’t just handle easily.

Since it was something mysterious that they were not supposed to have inside them because they are just ordinary people, yet since they are the chosen ones, they must bear it.

This was definitely like a powerful consequence that one must bear if they wanted to have something that is not worth who they are.

However, both of them endured it.

Even when they felt their body is covered with drenching sweat, even if they couldn’t breathe properly, their hearts felt ripped apart and their eyes were like being stabbed painfully, Shen Lou and Su Jinxi just chose to bite their lips tightly and endure the process because they both knew the grave responsibilities that awaits them.

And it’s not just them who are suffering right now but also Qin An himself.

As he said, stimulating their core to the extent that they can use it, a huge amount of spiritual energy is needed to transfer inside them.

Qin An is not the strongest state he is today nor even in the future because of his human body.

He could feel his body beginning to get numb and exhausted by the loss of spiritual energy inside him so he broke out a cold sweat. His face went pale and his arms slightly trembled.

He Li keenly noticed his state and frowned worriedly. He wanted to say that Qin An might have a problem again but he also knew the situation was very crucial. He can only stay helpless on the side and unknowingly clench his fists that he didn’t notice.

This heavy scene stayed for minutes until Qin An saw the core inside their body shined like how he usually saw in the past taoist masters.

After transferring another amount of spiritual energy again, Qin An finally stopped and the magic circle disappeared.

But before they could ask about the situation, Qin An’s body couldn’t take the drawback of exhausting his spiritual energy and vomited blood directly in front of everyone.

"!!!"

"Qin An!"
