Chapter 530 - 530: I Want to Help You Heal Up

Yu Li's Primordial Spirit Constitution wasn't something she developed through cultivation; it was innate.

Her body was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and converting it into her own Spiritual Power.

Even Yu Li herself probably didn't know the reason her skin was as clear and translucent as jade, so radiant it seemed as though sunlight could pass through and illuminate every cell in her body. It wasn't because of her meticulous skincare routine or her expertise as a cosmetics specialist. It was because of her unique constitution.

"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that, and with that silly grin?" Yu Li asked, leaning closer as she noticed the fervent look in Jiang Xinghai's eyes.

Jiang Xinghai took in her unique fragrance and said with a serious expression, "Yu Li, you have a Primordial Spirit Constitution. Have you really never realized it?"

"A Primordial Spirit Constitution? Is that very special?"

Evidently, Yu Li truly had no idea. After hearing Jiang Xinghai's question, she began examining herself as well.

"It is indeed very special. People with this constitution, especially women, are extremely rare. If there were a ranking for special constitutions, it would definitely be in the top ten." Jiang Xinghai took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

"I never realized I was so special. But I don't get it. You have to explain it to me," Yu Li said, looking languidly at Jiang Xinghai.

"In short, your constitution has a high Magic Affinity, allowing you to absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for your own use. Of course, it can also provide unimaginable benefits to others. It's like..." Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly. "If you've played a game like *Legend*, you're probably familiar with the healer class, right?"

"Uh!"

Of course Yu Li had played games—in fact, her favorite characters were support-type healers. She understood exactly what Jiang Xinghai meant.

Her expression shifted rapidly, replaced by a bitter smile. 'So, is this why that bastard Qiao Sihai wanted to use me as a Tripod Furnace? It must be. I understand now.'

"Exactly. It's because your constitution is so special that it gave people an opportunity to exploit you. Especially Gu Technique masters. They can roughly determine a person's constitution just by 'breathing' near them. If I'm not mistaken, Qiao Sihai has been in close contact with you before, hasn't he? Do you recall?" Jiang Xinghai's eyes glinted.

Yu Li nodded emphatically. "Yes, he was. He and my father were close friends for many years, after all. He stayed at our house for a few days about six months ago. We couldn't avoid being near each other, but I always kept at least a meter's distance."

"For a Gu Technique master, a meter is more than close enough," Jiang Xinghai said with a nod. The Qiao Family's Gu Technique Secret Scripture he had obtained mentioned something similar.

"So, after Qiao Sihai figured out my constitution was special, he started plotting against me. That damned scumbag..." A chill ran down Yu Li's spine as she recalled Qiao Sihai's vile actions. "But thank goodness I met you."

Her expression shifted again, softening into one of relief and happiness as she gazed tenderly at Jiang Xinghai.

Jiang Xinghai continued, "And I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but you didn't start practicing Martial Arts as a child, did you? It was after you became an adult, right?"

"You even know that?"

Yu Li was stunned. "I don't think I've ever told you when or why I started my Martial Arts journey. How did you figure that out?"

"Your Primordial Spirit Constitution is innate. If you had started Martial Arts as a child, your current strength would be at least on par with mine, not at your current level in the Venerable realm." Jiang Xinghai's words hit the mark, leaving Yu Li deeply shaken.

Yu Li smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead and nodded with a smile. "To tell you the truth, I only became interested in Martial Arts after graduating from college. I made the decision two years ago. You should have seen how happy my dad was. He was stunned again and again by how fast I progressed."

"Two years to reach the level of a Fifth-Realm Venerable... That really is incredibly fast," Jiang Xinghai remarked, still rather shocked to learn how long Yu Li had been cultivating.

This, in turn, made him think of Shen Lingxue and her Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body. 'She's been cultivating for less than three months and is already a First-Realm Venerable. Her speed is even more terrifying than Yu Li's!'

"I want to 'heal' you," Yu Li said, suddenly leaning close to Jiang Xinghai and letting herself fall toward him.

With quick reflexes, Jiang Xinghai caught her in a princess carry. An expression that was both awkward and amused crossed his face as he said gently, "I told you, you've just recovered. You need to rest. Maybe some other day."

'Now isn't the time to indulge,' he thought.

'At least not until she's fully recovered. Otherwise, I'd be a real scumbag.'

"The sun's almost up; I don't want to rest. Since I'm the 'healer,' it's my job to take care of your physical needs, right?"

Yu Li seemed unable to wait, mainly because she was worried Jiang Xinghai might be leaving for Shanghai soon and feared they'd have fewer opportunities to see each other. She spoke bluntly, "Look at me, being so forward. If you still refuse, it either means you're disgusted by me, or you're all show and no go."

"We really can't rush this," Jiang Xinghai said, waving his hands frantically.

"So, you're saying you really are all show?"

Yu Li looked at Jiang Xinghai with an expression of mock pity, her eyes filled with deliberate scorn.
