Chapter 26 She Helps You Sleep!
Who is Yuan Su? He is a corps commander, in charge of hundreds of thousands of people.
He's not just some ordinary brute; he has a lot going on in his head.The Little Girl's simple words revealed too much.His face darkened further, but he reluctantly took out a small, exquisite, retro-style purple Pill Furnace.
"This is my apology to little sister-in-law.
"General Wu, we are both corps commanders.
In the years you have led the Eighth Legion, our Warriors' living conditions have greatly improved.
We are grateful to you!Your injury was for the survival of the Empire's people and Warriors, and you should be revered.
"Yuan Xu also nodded, "General Wu, you are my role model!
In my heart, you are first, and Second Uncle is second!
"Qiu Ling laughed first, lightly flicking his head.
"I finally heard something decent come out of your dog's mouth.
You're not bad, kid. Come find me to play later.
"Yuan Xu snorted and buried his head in Yuan Su's arms. This woman couldn't say anything decent.Wu Yan said indifferently, "How you think of me is irrelevant; I only do what is expected of me.However, the Third, Fifth, and Seventh Legions are currently on this Supply Star with our Eighth Legion.
If I hear anyone being Yin and Yang or giving my Ling Ling a hard time again, then I'll have a good talk with you.After all, it was your wife who set the example of provocation!
"Qiu Ling, who was used to thinking of herself as an Old Ancestor, had recently been protected by others.
Her eyes curved into crescents; she was his Ling Ling, tsk tsk.
..Yuan Su nodded solemnly, "Don't worry.
Tomorrow morning at the assembly, I will have her apologize to little sister-in-law in front of all officers at the division level and above, and their families.
This will also be included in the report for Supply Star No.
00125."He had always disliked Yin Xian, always feeling she wore a mask.
He had his own nephew to dote on; there was no need to raise two more children for her.If it weren't for Yuan Xu's affection for her, he wouldn't have turned a blind eye to many of her actions.However, Qiu Ling had said something very true: a woman's confidence comes from her man.Now was the perfect opportunity to reclaim that confidence and punish Yin Xian for her sweet words and bitter heart all these years!
After speaking, he put down the palm-sized Pill Furnace, nodded to them, and then, holding Yuan Xu, who had smeared snot and tears all over his shoulder, he left.Yuan Xu looked at the mess he had made, then at Qiu Ling, who was waving at him.
He silently felt the pain in his stomach and thought that what this woman said was absolutely right: those who truly cared about him wouldn't disdain him.
..Once they left, Qiu Ling held the Pill Furnace and looked at Wu Yan.
"Wu Yan, can I keep this Pill Furnace?"The main Materials of the Pill Furnace were not purple; instead, they were dark green, a High Grade Artifact Refining Material, enough to support her in crafting many things.
The true color was the shimmering halo of profound and obscure runes that automatically absorbed Spiritual Qi for nourishment.According to the Original Owner's memory, Interstellar Artifact Refiners could only refine Spiritual Artifacts, rarely Magical Artifacts, let alone Treasure Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, Half-Immortal Artifacts, and Immortal Artifacts!
Before Qiu Ling's Ascension failure, she could indeed refine Dao Artifacts, but the Materials were hard to find.
Just collecting the Materials for each Dao Artifact took decades.Spiritual Artifacts, with Spiritual Qi flowing externally, were divided into nine tiers based on color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, brown, and black.
Each tier also had High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade.Magical Artifacts, on the other hand, had Spiritual Qi condensed on the surface, like the original color of the Pill Furnace.By the Treasure Artifact stage, the main Material itself displayed its color, and the Spiritual Qi gathered within the artifact body was even more refined.On Dao Artifacts, a trace of Dao intent was captured.
..The Pill Furnace Father Qiu had prepared for her at home was merely a green, fourth-tier Low Grade one.
In the market, she had seen cyan and blue Pill Furnaces, but they were priced at several million or tens of millions, and their quality was only average.It could be said that among all the Pill Furnaces she had seen in the market, this purple, seventh-tier Medium Grade Pill Furnace was the most satisfying!
Wu Yan observed her expectant expression, curved his lips, and nodded.
"Yes, since it's his apology, you can accept it.
"Qiu Ling smiled and couldn't help but hug the Pill Furnace to her chest, her eyes full of joy.
She wished she could start Alchemy right away, but without external fire, she would at least need to reach Core Formation to condense Pill Fire before she could supply the energy for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
"On the edge of the area affected by this beast tide, there are several volcanoes.
We've diverted some lava to build some Alchemy and Artifact Refining rooms.Ling Ling, if you want to perform Alchemy, you can have Yan Zhao and Xing Gu lead a team of guards to take you there.Remember not to overexert yourself.
If you encounter any danger, immediately retreat with the guards!
"Unable to bear seeing her smile fade, Wu Yan spoke for the first time without thinking.Qiu Ling nodded emphatically, "You don't need to tell me.
I value my life the most; I'll definitely run faster than a rabbit.
"Her eyes shifted slightly, and her mind was already listing what she would refine first.This was a Supply Star, and a beast tide had erupted, making it quite dangerous.
So, she had to first refine some equipment for herself and create some life-saving methods.
That way, even without the guards, she could still wander the entire Supply Star with her basket!
Seeing the Little Girl begin to daze off, Wu Yan exchanged glances with Yan Zhao.Yan Zhao sighed silently and found a guest room to rest, while Wu Yan sat next to Qiu Ling and played with her hand.Two marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing pills not only purified the Original Owner's body of dirt and toxins but also made her a shade lighter, with soft, smooth skin, like fine white jade tofu, making one want to feast on it.Wu Yan chuckled and pulled her into his arms. He had wanted to do this when she protected him earlier.Everyone saw him as a high and mighty prince; people always came to him for favors.
But no matter if he was covered in glory or like a bird stripped of its feathers, no one had ever stood in front of him and extended their hand to protect him.It was as if he was born of iron, able to bear everything.
..Qiu Ling came back to her senses and realized she was in his arms.Yan Zhao was gentle and liked to tease her, making people feel very comfortable and at ease, without any distance.Wu Yan's aura was powerful.
Even as he held her, that dominant and strong presence permeated her body through his breath.Qiu Ling remained still obediently, quietly asking him about the effects of the Medicinal Pill.Since taking the qingyuan pill, Wu Yan's chronic headache, which had plagued him after his Mental Energy collapsed, had significantly lessened.
He could endure physical pain, but the discomfort in his head could affect even the strongest individuals, making them agitated.These agitations could lead to oversights in his judgment on the battlefield, which was why he had to retreat to become the corps commander of the supply corps.Now, as long as he didn't use his Mental Energy, he was not much different from an ordinary person, feeling refreshed and comfortable.And the marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing pill had made his body lighter, as if the chronic illnesses left by countless wars on him were forced to manifest and then two-tenths of them were removed!
Yet, these two Medicinal Pills seemed to pale in comparison to having the Little Girl in his arms, which made him feel even more relaxed and content.He picked up Qiu Ling horizontally and carried her into the bedroom.
He didn't do anything, just took off his outer clothes, held her, buried his head in her fragrant neck, gnawed for a while, and sighed, "Ling Ling, sleep with me for a bit.
I haven't had a proper sleep in a long time.
"Qiu Ling's face was flushed. Well, it was another day of being used as a medicinal pillow to aid sleep!
