Chapter 55: Eighth Rank

Ye Si patted her forehead, speechless at Xu Feng's ability to come up with such a reason. How could a woman wear clothes without showing her curves?

"So, how do you think I should say it?" Ye Si smiled at Xu Feng, the corners of her lips curling up, her tender red lips evoking a desire to kiss them.

Xu Feng frowned, rubbed his head, and said with a headache, "It's really hard to imagine how Sister Ye Si could avoid being so alluring."

"Ke ke ke..." Ye Si couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This guy always flattered people so subtly; if it were a little girl, she might really fall for his sweet talk.

"The little guy is getting stronger and stronger. Not bad, not bad! Looks like I'll have to remind Miss Xiao to stay away from you in the future." Ye Si smiled charmingly, tapped Xu Feng's forehead, her fingers cool and smooth.

"Miss Xiao?!" Xu Feng smiled and said, "I talked to her about it a few days ago. She said she would throw me into a pig cage, so I had to give up the idea."

"Throw you into a pig cage?" Ye Si's eyes widened, then she remembered Xu Feng's status as a servant and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems Miss Xiao has seen through your true nature. No need for my reminder."

Xu Feng shrugged and followed Ye Si up to the third floor of the pavilion. As Ye Si walked in front, her plump, slightly upturned buttocks swayed, and Xu Feng felt the warmth and incredible elasticity, which left much to the imagination and made his heart race, evoking a slight sense of manhood.

"Truly a disaster!" Xu Feng shook his head, suppressing the feeling that had risen.

As they entered the third floor, Ye Si suddenly turned around with a flushed face and said mysteriously, "Staring at one spot for too long can make you tired."

Xu Feng chuckled, knowing that Ye Si had noticed he was staring at her buttocks. He shrugged and said, "For certain pleasing sights, no matter how long you look, you won't get tired."

"Pah!" Ye Si spat, ignoring Xu Feng's nonsense, and said, "Are you going to help Uncle Ye now or wait?"

"Now!" Xu Feng smiled, "After so many days of treatment, Uncle Ye has improved a lot. I just don't know when he will regain his attributes. If he can wake up, we will have more confidence in treating him."

Ye Si nodded and said seriously, "He should, right?"

Xu Feng smiled and didn't say anything. He walked directly to the middle-aged man's bedside and habitually cast a Purifying Mystic Technique on him.

Perhaps because of his practice of the Sealing Cold Technique, although Xu Feng could still only cast the Purifying Mystic Technique three times, the effect was much better than before.

This Purifying Mystic Technique cast on Uncle Ye made black mist emanate from his body, and his complexion improved significantly.

Just as Xu Feng was about to use his energy to absorb the black lightning, he noticed Uncle Ye's eyebrows twitch slightly. This discovery made Xu Feng very happy, and he shouted to Ye Si, "Uncle Ye might be waking up?"

Ye Si was equally delighted and quickly walked to the bedside, supporting it and carefully examining Uncle Ye.

However, Ye Si didn't realize how enticing her posture was, with her body slightly arched, her buttocks pressed against the dress, her waist surprisingly slim, and her chest pressing against the dress, creating a perfect and alluring curve. Xu Feng stood by, smiling, and quietly watched.

"Uncle Ye..." Ye Si carefully examined him, about to say something to Xu Feng, but noticed that Xu Feng was staring straight at her prominent chest, which made her angry and she scolded, "Xu Feng!"

"Ah..." Xu Feng finally reacted, seeing Ye Si's flushed, charming face, and chuckled, "Is he about to wake up?"

Ye Si was helpless with this young man and could only glare at Xu Feng and say, "Cast another Purifying Mystic Technique and see."

Xu Feng nodded and cast another Purifying Mystic Technique on the middle-aged man. After the technique was cast, Uncle Ye coughed twice, and black blood gushed from his mouth, which made Ye Si very happy, and she quickly wiped it with a towel.

Under the watchful eyes of Xu Feng and Ye Si, Uncle Ye, who had not opened his eyes for a long time, finally opened them slightly.

"Uncle Ye!" Ye Si was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Miss..." Uncle Ye called out weakly to Ye Si.

This voice made Ye Si so happy that she cried, tears rolling down her beautiful face, making Xu Feng, who stood beside her, feel very heartbroken, and he wiped her tender white face with his sleeve.

"Sister Ye Si! Stand aside for a moment. I'll help Uncle Ye absorb the black lightning." Xu Feng wiped away the tears from Ye Si's eyes and said softly.

Ye Si nodded and took two steps back, "Be careful."

Xu Feng nodded, placed his hand on Uncle Ye's arm, and said to Uncle Ye, who was staring at him with open eyes, "Uncle Ye! Since you've woken up, you have some control over your body. Try to channel the black lightning that has harmed you the most into my body. This will help you recover faster."

Although Uncle Ye had been unconscious, he still had some awareness. Knowing that he could open his eyes thanks to this young man, he nodded slightly at Xu Feng's words.

Seeing Uncle Ye nod, Xu Feng's energy surged into Uncle Ye's arm, starting to draw out the black lightning from his body.

With past experience and the growth from absorbing purple lightning, Xu Feng found it very easy to absorb the black lightning.

After absorbing for a while, Xu Feng noticed that Uncle Ye's spirit seemed better than before. He said to Uncle Ye, "Uncle Ye, if you have the strength, channel the most violent black lightning in your body into mine."

Uncle Ye looked at Xu Feng, then suddenly closed his eyes. At that moment, Xu Feng felt his energy suddenly not being resisted by the forces in Uncle Ye's body, and it could directly enter Uncle Ye's body.

Xu Feng knew that Uncle Ye must have suppressed his own strength, which made him sigh in relief. His energy flowed through Uncle Ye's arm into his body. Soon, Xu Feng found extremely violent black lightning in Uncle Ye's internal organs.

Upon discovering this black lightning, Xu Feng didn't hesitate and used his energy to draw it out.

"Boom..." As soon as the energy touched the black lightning, both Uncle Ye's and Xu Feng's arms turned black, with black lightning coursing through them.

Seeing this, Ye Si's face changed drastically, and she tightly gripped her hands, staring straight at Xu Feng.

Seeing such violent black lightning directly entering his body, Xu Feng gritted his teeth and drove the purple lightning madly: I won't believe I can't absorb you.

The violent black lightning surged into Xu Feng's body, and he took this opportunity to refine his body intensely. Xu Feng could feel his energy gradually strengthening, and the bottleneck was loosening!

The black lightning surged into Xu Feng's body, covering him entirely. The black lightning coursed through his body, enveloping it in a layer of black.

Ye Si watched the black lightning flow from Uncle Ye's body into Xu Feng's, holding her breath and staring at Xu Feng, her palms sweating, her eyes filled with worry.

While absorbing the black lightning, Xu Feng channeled his energy to the most violent black lightning in Uncle Ye's body. The black lightning surged out, causing a series of mild explosions in the room.

The purple lightning in Xu Feng's body ran wildly, covering his entire body, protecting his vital organs, and absorbing the black lightning into his body. Under this absorption, the purple lightning gradually grew stronger.

At the same time, Xu Feng felt a tingling pain all over his body, with lightning striking his body. The energy stored in his bones and muscles was refined and strengthened.

Ye Si, standing beside him, could see Xu Feng completely wrapped in black lightning and feel his energy steadily increasing.

"Boom... Boom..."

The explosions in the room continued, and the violent black lightning in Uncle Ye's body was gradually drawn out by Xu Feng, his complexion improving.

This process continued for over an hour. After refining the black lightning for over an hour, Xu Feng's original energy reached its peak. As another violent force in Uncle Ye's body was channeled out, Xu Feng formed a hand seal and shouted, "Break!"

As the words fell, Xu Feng's bottleneck was shattered. His energy surged, and in a short time, he reached the Eighth Rank. His energy stabilized at the Eighth Rank.

After reaching the Eighth Rank, the speed of the purple lightning in Xu Feng's body increased sharply, and the black lightning that had entered his body was completely absorbed.

When the last trace of black lightning in his body was absorbed, Xu Feng released Uncle Ye's arm, a spurt of black blood gushed from his mouth, removing the residual toxins from the black lightning. He took the towel Ye Si handed him and wiped his face, then cast a Purifying Mystic Technique on Uncle Ye!

After the third Purifying Mystic Technique, Uncle Ye's complexion became very rosy, almost as good as a normal person's.

Uncle Ye, who had opened his eyes, also felt that most of the black lightning in his body had been eliminated, making him feel much lighter. Looking at the slightly tired young man in front of him, he was both surprised and felt compelled to apologize, "Thank you, young brother, for your help!"

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head, glanced at Ye Si, and then turned to Uncle Ye, "Uncle Ye, you're too polite! How are you feeling now?"

Seeing Xu Feng's gaze at Ye Si, Uncle Ye was puzzled about the relationship between Miss and this young man. But he quickly answered Xu Feng, "Most of the black lightning has been absorbed by you. The remaining can be suppressed with my strength. Although it still causes some damage, it won't make me fall into a coma again."

"The black lightning isn't a problem. If I can't absorb it all at once, I'll do it twice, or even more. The question is whether Uncle Ye's body has been severely damaged by the black lightning?" Xu Feng asked worriedly.

"Of course, there is severe damage! However, I protected my vital organs from the start. Although the injuries are significant, they are not fatal. Without the black lightning, with time, I can fully recover. I'm not worried about that." Uncle Ye smiled, knowing that with his strength, he would eventually recover without the black lightning.

Hearing Uncle Ye's words, Ye Si's beautiful face was filled with joy, "Uncle Ye can recover?"

Uncle Ye smiled at Ye Si and couldn't help but glance at Xu Feng. From the energy Xu Feng channeled into his body, he knew that this young man had not yet reached the Spirit Realm. Despite this, he dared to confront such terrifying black lightning, which was beyond his comprehension. More importantly, he could absorb the black lightning! This was even more unbelievable! To ordinary people, lightning was something that couldn't be absorbed. Uncle Ye, due to his strength, had broader knowledge and knew that lightning could be absorbed.

However, those who could absorb lightning were undoubtedly terrifying figures. They used their overwhelming strength to barely absorb lightning much weaker than themselves. But this young man, with his strength not yet reaching the Spirit Realm, could absorb black lightning much stronger than himself. This was unheard of in this world!

Looking at Ye Si, who stood beside Xu Feng, looking at him with great affection, Uncle Ye couldn't help but wonder where she had found such a strange young man.

Xu Feng, seeing Uncle Ye examining him, smiled and said, "Uncle Ye has just woken up! We won't disturb your rest!"

Saying this, Xu Feng pulled Ye Si's hand and led her out.

Seeing Ye Si obediently leave with Xu Feng, Uncle Ye was slightly taken aback. It was the first time he had seen a man hold Ye Si's hand. Although this young man was like an immature child compared to Ye Si, he was still a man, wasn't he?

"Thank you!" Ye Si, outside Uncle Ye's room, looked at Xu Feng with gratitude, her eyes shining with a soft light, making Xu Feng's heart skip a beat. This woman's eyes always seemed to see into one's soul.

"Sister Ye Si!" Xu Feng suddenly stared into Ye Si's eyes and softly called out. When her gentle, clear eyes turned to him, Xu Feng smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Love knows no origin, once it starts, it goes deep'?"

"Hmm?" Ye Si looked at Xu Feng with confusion, not understanding why he suddenly said this.

Seeing Ye Si's confused, charming expression, Xu Feng smiled and said, "Men can sometimes be very simple. They may want to possess beautiful things, but they can also protect the beauty that belongs to them! Some say women are emotional, and I don't deny that. But I think 'Love knows no origin, once it starts, it goes deep' is more about men. Sometimes, just a glance in a crowd can make a man guard it forever! And Sister Ye Si is that one person in the crowd. Perhaps coming to this world is to try out 'Love knows no origin, once it starts, it goes deep,' a phrase I once thought was just to deceive little girls."
