"Is it really normal?"
Jian Ruyan heard Mu Jinyu's words and looked up at him, the disappointment in her eyes growing stronger.
She had originally been comforting herself that perhaps Wen Rou received some help from Mu Jinyu during her cultivation, which allowed her to break through to the Fanxu Realm in one go.
But with Mu Jinyu's words, her self-consolation was instantly shattered.
Seeing the inevitable disappointment in Jian Ruyan's expression, Mu Jinyu opened his mouth to comfort her, "There's no need for this, Xiao Yanzi, although your cultivation talent is slightly inferior to Wen Rou's, it's not this bad. There's a reason for it."
"Firstly, when Wen Rou was cultivating earlier, I helped her resolve the accumulated medicinal power of spiritual medicine in her body, which allowed her to be stronger than you and directly impact the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm. Then, you know her physique aligns with mine, and when I'm assisting her cultivation, it accelerates her progress, which led to her breakthrough to the Fanxu Realm."
"Yes, that's right. Sister Ruyan, you should let Little Mu help you, and you definitely wouldn't be like this…" Wen Rou quickly nodded upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, offering words of comfort.
Mu Jinyu wasn't deceiving Jian Ruyan by just comforting her.
Earlier, after Jian Ruyan had left the room, giving them a private moment, the two weren't just long-separated lovers but had also never been close.
Naturally, after the initial excitement and joy, there was a state that surpassed newlyweds.
Last year, after Mu Jinyu activated his Dragon Clan's bloodline, following the end of the dark chaos, he shared a room with Wen Rou, discovering that cultivating together not only significantly enhanced Wen Rou's cultivation but also improved his own cultivation.
And now, it was the same; with his Dragon Clan's blood refined by the Silkworm King's essence blood, transforming into Divine Dragon Blood, its effects were naturally more mystical.
With these accumulated benefits, it led to a situation where after Wen Rou's soul returned to her body, she was no longer constrained by soul seizing, regaining her cultivation talent. She leaped from the Fifth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm to the First Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
"Come, let me help resolve the accumulated medicinal power of spiritual medicines in your body, and then try cultivating with one major heavenly circuit again."
Mu Jinyu walked behind Jian Ruyan, raised his hand to press against her back, and said.
"Okay."
Jian Ruyan didn't want to be much weaker than Wen Rou. Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, her eyes lit up with hope, and she nodded.
Then, she closed her eyes and started cultivating again.
Mu Jinyu began to channel his True Yuan to help dissolve the untransformed medicinal power accumulated in her body from various spiritual medicines consumed over the past year, assisting her practice.
If someone had consumed so much spiritual medicine back then and allowed the medicinal power to burst all at once, it would have been unbearable.
But these medicinal powers had been stored in Jian Ruyan's body for over a year, nurtured to resemble her True Yuan attribute. Hence, when they were suddenly detonated to breach her cultivation bottleneck, her body could bear it. There wouldn't be instability in her foundation after breaking through her cultivation.
Moreover, Mu Jinyu's cultivation had reached the Fourth Layer of the Unity Realm Stage, which is a formidable level. His assistance in resolving medicinal power was both safe and reliable.
Thus, after half a day of cultivation.
Jian Ruyan's cultivation level finally broke through from the Seventh Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, advancing to the Eighth Layer, and ultimately reached the early stage of the Ninth Layer, before stopping.
"It really is like this…"
Jian Ruyan opened her eyes, full of joy.
Although the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm was still insignificant in front of Mu Jinyu and could hardly help him, she was confident that if she continued cultivating, she wouldn't become a burden to them in the future.
Whenever Mu Jinyu fought, she would neither be of any help nor a hindrance.
That's what made her happy.
"Well then, could you help me reach the Fanxu Realm too?"
Jian Ruyan then turned to look at Mu Jinyu, asking hopefully.
She thought, since Wen Rou could reach the early stage of the Fanxu Realm with Mu Jinyu's help, and her foundation was stable, although her talent wasn't as good as Wen Rou's, with Mu Jinyu's help she might also reach the Fanxu Realm. While her stability might not be as good, investing more time to stabilize her realm would still be better than the Divine Transformation Realm, right?
Upon hearing Jian Ruyan's words, Mu Jinyu's expression turned strange. He leaned over to Jian Ruyan's ear and explained the second method of assisted cultivation.
Just after hearing half of it, Jian Ruyan's fair face turned crimson red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like dripping blood.
She trembled all over, obviously furious. Then she slapped Mu Jinyu and roared angrily:
"Go to hell!"
Mu Jinyu was prepared; seeing Jian Ruyan's outrage, he quickly dragged Wen Rou with a laugh out of the room.
"This guy, how dare he make a move on me!"
Jian Ruyan, seeing Mu Jinyu run out of sight, stood at the doorway, looking at the sky, her pretty face both embarrassed and angry, she said hatefully.
...
On the other side, Wen Rou was being pulled along by Mu Jinyu. Knowing the reason behind Jian Ruyan's outrage, she turned to look at Mu Jinyu, curiously asking, "Little Mu, are you really going to be with Sister Ruyan too?"
She wouldn't mind having another sister, just worried that Gu Xiyan and the others might mind.
"No, her, I can't handle." Mu Jinyu shook his head immediately, "She just teased me, so I wanted to tease her back."
"What?" Wen Rou blinked her big eyes, curiously asking.
Mu Jinyu chuckled, "You don't know? Just now when I switched you both back to your bodies, she was the first to wake up. Then she pretended to be you to scare me. I thought I messed up your souls, which was for nothing, scared to death. So, I teased her back; she seemed quite happy just now too."
Wen Rou: "..."
"Alright, that's it. Actually, I think Sister Ruyan is pretty good too. If you like her…" Wen Rou shook her head, then laughed.
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "No need for that. By the way, do you know who I ran into when I came back?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu wasn't interested in continuing the topic, she switched topics and didn't press on, "Who did you encounter? Outstanding Uncle, or other Divine Rankings seniors?"
"No, it was your mother…" Mu Jinyu shook his head, finally revealing the news he had withheld earlier.
"My… my mother..." Hearing Mu Jinyu's answer, Wen Rou was stunned, her whole body froze.
She knew Mu Jinyu wasn't swearing at her and was also aware her biological mother was alive. When she encountered her at the Dragon King Hall before, she remembered she was from the Kunlun Ruins.
She had been pondering whether to find her mother if she had free time once Mu Jinyu's trials were over and her and Sister Ruyan's bodies were back to normal.
She didn't know where the Chen Family was and hadn't fully decided, so she hadn't mentioned it to anyone.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jinyu had already met her mother.
"Where did you meet her?"
After a while, Wen Rou regained her senses, her eyes complex as she looked at Mu Jinyu, pressing her lips together slightly, she whispered to ask.
