Chapter 214: Chapter 212: Replenishing Magic for Liu Qingmeng

’Wait, this little version of Elder Liu didn’t die?’

The moment he heard the voice outside the door, this thought subconsciously popped into Fang Can’s mind.

After all, he knew how decisive Liu Qingmeng was. To her, an incarnation was just a disposable tool.

Theoretically, no incarnation should have been allowed to survive this long. If an incarnation developed self-awareness, it would become a liability.

Even Fang Can, who prided himself on having such abilities, wouldn’t allow a self-aware incarnation to continue existing.

Filled with doubt, Fang Can got up, walked to the door, and gently pushed it open, only to see a blue-haired loli who looked about seven or eight years old.

’Whose kid is this...’

Looking at the child before him with some amusement, Fang Can crouched down to her eye level and said, "You didn’t go back, did you, Elder?"

"You guessed it."

The girl, whose blue hair reached her waist, looked slightly embarrassed and put her hands behind her back.

"If I went back, the main body would have definitely refined me, so I played a little trick."

"I originally thought that even if I didn’t return, a new incarnation would be sent to deal with me after the next space-time displacement. I never expected that nothing would happen at all."

"Ma... Master!"

Just then, Jiang Ning’an, who had crossed over at the same time, came out of her room. She, too, stared in astonishment at her shrunken master.

Liu Qingmeng hadn’t mentioned this matter to her disciple.

After all, it was rather embarrassing to admit that her incarnation had been out and about for over a month and had grown too wild to want to come back.

According to her original plan, she was going to send another incarnation to the present world to handle the trouble.

But Fang Can had left her body in a state of... disarray, and her mind was in such turmoil that she had already returned to Jiejian Mountain for secluded cultivation.

So she hadn’t gotten around to creating a new incarnation.

"Ning An, you see your master before you. Why do you not bow?" Liu Qingmeng said with a stern face.

Since this was, after all, an incarnation of her master, the young woman reined in her surprise and said, "Greetings, Master."

"Very good. Go play by yourself. I’m borrowing Fang Can to discuss something. No eavesdropping."

After giving Jiang Ning’an this order with a straight face, Liu Qingmeng led Fang Can away right in front of her.

Watching the boy who seemed to want to say something but held back, Jiang Ning’an didn’t know what to say.

’Why is there a Master here too, trying to keep me and Fang Can apart?!’

For a moment, even though she was a Third Turn cultivator, Jiang Ning’an felt like she couldn’t breathe.

It felt as if an invisible pair of giant hands was working behind the scenes, desperately trying to keep the two of them from being together.

And as she had this thought, the azure fortune above Ning An’s head grew even purer.

Pulling Fang Can by the hand, Liu Qingmeng walked all the way into the bedroom and shut the door firmly.

Turning around, the girl slipped off her bear-themed slippers. Her fair feet landed on the soft mattress, and only by using the height of the bed could she barely meet Fang Can’s gaze.

She looked at Fang Can seriously and said, "By my estimation, you should have reached the First Turn by now."

"That’s right. I successfully took first place in the grand tournament," Fang Can said with a smile.

"Excellent. In that case, Fang Can, you can ’recharge my mana’," Liu Qingmeng said, a sly smile appearing on her face as she looked at the handsome young man before her.

’Wha... What?!!’

Fang Can was completely and utterly shocked. He never imagined those words would come out of the young girl’s mouth.

If ’recharging mana’ meant what he thought it meant, how was that any different from just asking to ’do it’?

’And she’s completely different from Elder Liu.’

Looking at the grinning girl before him, Fang Can subconsciously made a comparison in his mind.

The real Liu Qingmeng would absolutely never show him such an expression. Her main body, in Fang Can’s eyes, was like ice, like fire, like lightning—but definitely not like the living, breathing person in front of him now.

This thought left Fang Can a little speechless.

One was the incarnation, the other was the main body.

But the feelings they gave him were polar opposites. It was all a bit topsy-turvy.

But that wasn’t the problem at hand.

Speechless, Fang Can moved closer to the girl’s forehead to check if she had a fever. Why was she so focused on ’recharging mana’ the moment she came back?

The instant he made contact, an arc of electricity from Liu Qingmeng’s forehead zapped him.

"Where did your mind wander off to? I just need to absorb a little of your Heart Image," Liu Qingmeng huffed.

"With my current Spiritual Power, as time goes on, I’ll probably devolve from a loli to a toddler in less than ten days, and then disappear completely."

"Since you’ve already entered the First Turn, your Heart Image can now supplement my daily consumption."

"You wouldn’t want the teacher who taught you for a whole month to just disappear like this, would you?"

’Oh, so *that’s* the kind of mana-recharging she meant. I thought she meant... *recharging*.’ Fang Can was relieved.

"What does this ’mana-recharging’ require?"

"Direct Dual Cultivation is the fastest way to exchange it."

Seeing Fang Can’s speechless gaze, the girl immediately added, "Of course, physical contact also works. It’s just a bit less efficient."

"Elder, you have a habit of pausing dramatically that’s going to give someone a heart attack. Can you please not leave your sentences half-finished next time?" Fang Can said, exasperated.

As he spoke, he proactively exposed a section of his arm. "Do you want to bite? Or is there a specific spot?"

Seeing the boy so dutifully offer his arm, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the young Liu’s eyes. She then opened her mouth and bit down without hesitation.

As her pearly white teeth bit into his arm, Fang Can only felt a tingling, ticklish sensation.

With his guard down, a continuous stream of his Heart Image’s power was drawn out by her, converted into Spiritual Power for her use.

"Not bad... not bad at all. This purity... it’s incredibly nourishing," the girl said, her voice muffled as she bit down on Fang Can’s arm.

Next, for greater efficiency in absorbing the Heart Image, she wrapped her arms around Fang Can’s neck and her legs tightly around his waist.

She opened her mouth and bit down hard on Fang Can’s exposed neck.

"Hey, wait, Elder, how long are you going to be ’eating’?"

Feeling that one percent of his Heart Image had been consumed in just a short time, Fang Can asked.

"About half an hour of absorption will give me enough to last for a day, but it’s better to extend it to an hour."

"Why?"

"Because I want Fang Can to help me grow up."

Liu Qingmeng’s voice came from behind his ear, "This extra bit I’m taking can be considered my ’nutrition fee’ from you. I can’t stay in this tiny body forever, can I?"

"But an hour every day is a bit too long," Fang Can frowned. It took up too much time.

"Is Fang Can that impatient to go accompany his hundred-woman harem? Or do you want to go find Ning An?"

"We can speed it up, if you want."

The temptation from behind was like a devil’s whisper as strands of silky blue hair brushed past the back of Fang Can’s ear.

"All it takes is a kiss, or ’plucking.’ Both the time required and the conversion rate would increase dramatically. Is Fang Can willing to accept?"

"Elder, please don’t say things that could be so easily misunderstood," Fang Can said in a low voice.

’Compared to her adult form’s cold and frosty demeanor, how did she get more flirtatious the smaller she got?’

Rejected, the girl just smiled, not caring in the slightest. "Since you’re unwilling, then just stay in this room with me obediently for the next hour."

"You wouldn’t want Ning An to see us coming out like this, would you?"
