Luo Yaqin took a sip of the Water of Life, and the fatigue on her face vanished. She looked at me with concern, "Giving something so precious to me, isn't that a waste?"
"What are you talking about?" I feigned anger, "You are one of the most precious people in my life. As long as it's for your well-being, nothing is more precious than you."
Hearing this, Luo Yaqin blushed and nestled happily in my arms, "Honestly, this kind of life makes me feel very bored and tired. But because you are by my side, I suddenly feel that this might be the ideal life in my heart..."
I held her tightly, "It's the same for me..."
The next morning, upon waking, I first checked Luo Yaqin's body and found no abnormalities.
"Look at my hand..." I held Luo Yaqin and condensed the Shepherd God's Power into my palm, "Can you see anything on my hand?"
Luo Yaqin stared intently at my hand for a while, then shook her head, "I don't see anything, but I can feel that there seems to be some energy on it..."
Upon hearing this, my eyes lit up.
Since she could see energy on it, it meant that she could perceive the existence of energy, and thus feel the presence of the Shepherd God's Power.
This was something that was impossible before.
"That's great!" I exclaimed excitedly.
Luo Yaqin looked at me blankly, not quite understanding.
"Don't worry, it's nothing bad..." I said with a smile, "I'll explain it to you when I have time!"
Luo Yaqin nodded and didn't press for details.
In fact, after I came out of that place, Luo Yaqin had drunk the Water of Life more than once.
Especially the time I obtained the Shepherd God's Art, because she was so worried about me, she stayed with me in the cave. During that period, they basically relied on the Water of Life for sustenance every day.
Therefore, she could now feel the existence of energy.
This meant my guess was correct.
I solemnly placed the pot of Water of Life into Luo Yaqin's hands, "From today onwards, three times a day, drink one capful of the Water of Life!"
Luo Yaqin quickly refused, "I don't usually have to do anything, nor do I get injured. If I'm tired, I can just sleep it off. There's no need to waste these things..."
"Listen to me, you won't be wrong!" I gave her no chance to retort, "Believe me, if you are willing to drink it, it will be even more beneficial to me!"
"Also, only you know about this. Absolutely do not tell anyone else!"
Seeing my expression, Luo Yaqin could only nod.
I was well aware that everyone wished to possess greater power, but under the current circumstances, the available resources were limited.
Therefore, I could only allocate the limited resources to the person I deemed most important.
For example, Luo Yaqin.
Although I truly wanted to help Lin Chun, and I knew he desperately craved power, I was uncertain if giving all the Water of Life to one person could achieve the desired outcome, let alone two.
If, after Luo Yaqin reached a stage where she could cultivate, there was still some Water of Life left, I would undoubtedly arrange for Lin Chun to have it without hesitation.
After arranging this matter, my mood improved considerably.
Turning to leave, I saw Number One and Number Four sitting in the courtyard chatting.
I sat down with interest, "How long have you two known each other?"
"If we count the time, it's been about half a year..." Number One replied.
Number Four added, "My personality isn't very good, and I don't usually have many friends. Number One is one of them..."
Hearing this, I began to ponder seriously.
According to Number One, he was likely the first success in Vicissitude's experiments.
Given this, and having lived with Number Four for nearly half a year, I could roughly estimate when Vicissitude began his experiments.
"Is something wrong?" Number One asked, noticing my expression.
"Nothing," I smiled and shook my head, then turned my gaze to Number Four, "I know you seem to have a black spot on you as well. Would you like me to help you remove it?"
Upon hearing this, an excited expression appeared on Number Four's face, "I was just talking to Number One about this. I heard that the explosion last night was caused by you..."
I awkwardly scratched my head, "Something like that. But I must tell you, if you want to remove that thing, you'll have to endure immense pain!"
Number One quickly nodded from the side, "I've tried it. But I can confirm that there are no after-effects after removing it... This is a good thing for me!"
