After taking the ginseng fruit, Zhao Huai had undergone two refinements throughout his body and reached the peak of the seventh level of the Initiation Stage.Pure spiritual qi continued to flow in, gradually filling his entire Qi Sea and the meridians throughout his body.
The more qi, the harder it was for Zhao Huai to keep up with the speed of qi flow, even with his continuous Circulation of Qi absorption.
From a distance, he was entirely enveloped in spiritual qi.
Zhao Huai felt as if his whole body would explode, like it was about to be burst open by the spiritual qi.
The terrifying spiritual qi brought by the thousand-year ginseng fruit was too much for him to handle at this time.
Zhao Huai closed his eyes and concentrated, sitting on the ground, guiding all the terrifying spiritual qi erupting from his body into the Qi Sea and sealing it up.
The fruit’s potency was so great that it couldn’t be fully absorbed, so he could only temporarily store it and slowly refine it in the future.
After stabilizing the terrifying spiritual qi in his Qi Sea, Zhao Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that Gu Tianji had reminded him earlier, otherwise, he would have died from his body exploding at this moment. As Zhao Huai sat up, a voice came from outside the house.
“Brother-in-law? When did you get back?”
At the pawnshop’s entrance, Pei Xiangyun, wearing a simple and elegant dress, entered the door and was surprised to see Zhao Huai. “After I finished my work, I naturally came back.” Zhao Huai smiled faintly, then couldn’t help but ask:
“Where is your sister?”
“Sister... Sister has something to deal with; she’ll be back soon.”
Upon thinking of her father and sister still negotiating, Pei Xiangyun couldn’t help but stutter a little.
She had been excluded from the talk about her sister’s affairs and their future plans.
They even said she had a loose tongue and a child like her shouldn’t be listening to these matters.
So, Pei Xiangyun came back angrily.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Zhao Huai as soon as she returned.
Hearing her younger sister-in-law’s reply, Zhao Huai’s joyous mood was somewhat diluted.
All of these discussions were for the sake of enabling the Pei family to live better lives.
Pei Xiangyun had always kept this in her heart.
Upon hearing Pei Xiangyun’s words, Zhao Huai casually asked, “Xiang Yun, does your sister have many relatives?”
His intuition was more sensitive than he had imagined.
Why would Pei Xiangyun’s father need to visit his wife if he was doing well?
Had something happened?
Facing her brother-in-law’s question, Pei Xiangyun hesitated for a moment and replied vaguely, “Not many, our family is relatively closer.”
Hearing this, Zhao Huai nodded.
“It’s about time; I’ll go cook!”
Fearing that Zhao Huai would continue to inquire further, Pei Xiangyun immediately headed to the kitchen.
“When did you learn to cook?”
Zhao Huai couldn’t help but laugh, finding the situation amusing.
“I learned when you weren’t home during these few days with my sister.” Pei Xiangyun replied, pouting her lips.
Watching his sister-in-law leave, Zhao Huai whispered to himself, “I hope my wife’s relatives are genuinely visiting, as it should be.”
“Now the Yan Country’s national fortune is recovering, and countless forces are secretly coveting it. I hope my wife won’t get involved.”
Zhao Huai was well aware of Yu Qinghan’s character. She was gentle, kind, and considerate, but deep down, she could be strong and dominant.
In short, she was easily swayed, but not easily intimidated.
If anyone caused her harm, they would certainly suffer the consequences.
However, if they used schemes to lure her, then things might not go well...
Suddenly.
“Ah, who are you!”
A scream came from inside the house..
