"But... Husband, what will happen to me after that?" Shang Ting couldn't help but ask.

"This... your cultivation speed will increase by 50% and the spiritual energy that you can gather will be extremely pure." Mo Xie explained.

Mo Xie actually lied, As soon as Shang Ting acquires the Celestial Perfect Meridians, her body will go into a transformation, even in her sleep, the Spiritual Energies around her will continuously flow, and as soon as she starts to cultivate, the suction speed will be 20x that of a normal cultivator, an increase of 2,000%!

"Okay, I trust husband's words." Shang Ting smiled as she closed her eyes.

_Blob! Blob! Blob!_ _Szzzt_

After a few minutes, Mo Xie spoke: "I will start now."

"Un." Shang Ting replied as she prepared herself.

Mo Xie nodded as he picked two needles from the boiling water, as soon as he did, his skin immediately became burnt.

_Szik! Szik!_

Two needles stab at the major meridian on both of Shang Ting's shoulders.

_Szik! Szik!_

Two more at her hips.

_Szik! Szik!_ Elbows.

Knee, hands, and ankles.

Shang Ting frowned and thought: 'Is this the pain? it feels like an itch.'

"Be ready, focus, do not waver at the very least."

Shang Ting nodded her head and replied: "Yes."

Clearly, Mo Xie felt her easing up, and as soon as she heard Mo Xie's words, she prepared again.

"Bear the pain for now."

Shang Ting was about to reply, but then.

_Szik! Szik!_ Two needles struck the meridian pathway on her neck.

"Hak!" Shang Ting couldn't help but grit her teeth.

The needles felt like two swords pierced her neck, she can still feel it.

_Szik! Szik!_ Another two in her arms.

"Urg!" Shang Ting can still bear it clenching her hands tightly to the blanket.

And then, ten piercing swords echoed.

"KWAAAAA!" Shang Ting screamed at the top of her lungs.

Mo Xie looking at Shang Ting bearing the great pain couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Eat this." Mo Xie stretches his hand as he fed Shang Ting a spoon full of paste that he had ground earlier.

It was supposed to be a pill called 'Yin Numbing Pill' a bronze ranked pill that can numb the pain by 50%, but without an alchemist, it can only have 25% numbing effect.

Mo Xie continued inserting the needles one by one, two by two, his movements were so quick, it only took him a few minutes to insert the 80 needles.

"Last two."

_Huff... Huff... Huff..._

"I...I think I can manage it!" Shang Ting spoke with a smile, as soon as she looked at Mo Xie, she felt struck dumbfoundedly, he is covered with sweat, his clothes seemed like he had just gone out of the river, soaked to the brim, his hair as messy as it could get, dripping the sweat directly to the floor.

Mo Xie has an expression of sadness before speaking: "All of the pain you have felt, once I struck the final two needles, it will be a multiplied by a hundredfold, are you sure you want to continue?"

Shang Ting hearing this couldn't help but became shocked: "That... I will do my very best."

Mo Xie is doing it for her, she can clearly see it on his face, she would rather die than ignore the grace that Mo Xie is giving her.

Mo Xie smiled as she patted Shang Ting's head, he closed his face and gave Shang Ting a peck on her forehead and spoke: "It will be over after a hundred breathe, be sure to endure the pain."

_Szik! Szik!_

"Do not ease up." Mo Xie immediately warned after he injected the needles on her heart and brain meridians.

Shang Ting did as Mo Xie instructed, she waited for the pain, she started to wander again, but at the 10th breathe, a ma.s.sive pain a.s.saulted her whole body!

"Gwaaaaa!"

The agonizing, stabbing pain as the last needle struck her heart was all that kept her conscious. Her head felt light, everything around her seemed to spin and a feeling of nauseousness crept up slowly. Cold s.h.i.+vers shot through her body and both her hands and legs were trembling. It was all too much to handle and for a moment she considered giving in to the pain and dying.

"KYAAAA!"

Her head felt heavier and heavier as each pulse of throbbing pain pounded her senses over and over again. Every part of her being ached for an answer to this feeling of misery and any answer that could bring relief was one worth considering. The pain shouldn't be more than a minor nuisance to her, but right now it was far more than that.

"Mnft!"

She let out a moaning yelp, part desperation, and part determination. She has two options: fight or give up. But she desperately kept herself busy with mindless tasks and ch.o.r.es, but nothing really helped to ignore the pain. Eventually, she clenched Mo Xie's hands so tightly, to a mortal, being tightly grasped by a pract.i.tioner will hurt a lot.

"Whaaak!"

_Huff... Huff... Huff..._

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood escaped Shang Ting's mouth.

_Crack! Crack! Crack!_ Mo Xie's bone started to break simultaneously, Shang Ting couldn't hear nor can she feel it.

The only thing she can think of right now is to bear the pain, how to make it stop, and until when will this goes on.

Mo Xie didn't mind the breaking of his hand's bones, his expression didn't change at all, such a minor pain is actually he can cope with without much of a deal, he, himself knew of the pain and suffering that Shang Ting she is currently feeling.

If only he had done this when she's in a very high realm, she would only feel an inch, but with an environment like this, she will never step higher than a black-gold rank in the next 50 years.

Time kept ticking, 90 breathes had pa.s.sed, Shang Ting's pores started to widen a little, black colored liquid immediately came out of every pores in her body, it is the impurities that are currently inside her body.

"Yaaaaaa!" 100th breath, Shang Ting lost consciousness as the pain gradually subsided.

Mo Xie heaved a sigh of relief as he too, fell down on the floor.

.

...

Morning came fast.

Shang Ting woke up earlier than she usually does, but she had been sleeping for more than 12 hours, she pa.s.sed out at 5:30 PM, and just woke up at 6:00 AM in the morning.

She thought she will be waking up with a body full of aching, yet, as she moved, she felt extremely better.

She then looked all over the bed and found out that it is covered by a wet and black substance.

"Eeek!" With how gruesome it looked like, she felt terrified.

Looking around, she then saw Mo Xie laying on the ground: "Ah, husband!"

Shang Ting immediately picked him up, but seeing that the bed is completely ruined, she removed the blanket and the soft bed and laid Mo Xie there.

"Husband, wait for me, I will throw these things first and changed the bed covers."

Shang Ting spoke as she picked up the clothes and went outside, immediately, she casted a low-level yellow grade flame skill.

"Fire Ball."

_Wooos.h.!.+_

Shang Ting was shocked, the size of the flame is almost four times the size of her usual skill.

"This... What happened?"

"The amount of power you can utelize had increase, don't worry about it, you will just have to learn in how to control it." A voice sounded just right after Shang Ting asked.

Shang Ting looked at the direction of the familiar voice, a smile couldn't help arched on her lips and called.

"Husband."

Mo Xie smiled and spoke: "I will teach you a few things for later, once you burn those, I'd like you to take a bath and welcome our employees, only take 35 female maids and 25 male servants.."

Mo Xie spoke as he immediately went inside, he needed to take a bath, the sour smell is lingering all over his body, but seeing the change in Shang Ting's whole body, Mo Xie couldn't help but feel something that he hadn't felt for a very long time.

The once above average look of Shang Ting had completely changed, in term, if she is to be placed next to the number one beauty of the Gangting City, Ye Qincheng, Qingchen will lose all l.u.s.ter and everyone will only look at Shang Ting's beauty.

Shang Ting was astounded as also shocked, the usually composed husband of hers actually blushed a little: "Was I hallucinating or something?"

After she questioned herself, she burned down the dirtied bed and cover as she immediately went inside to take a bath.
