Chapter 772: A Chat About the Human Body

Breaking one's bottom line is a terrifying thing.

For nine whole days, Qin Jian did not even know how he had managed to get through them.

Too many reasons contributed to such a result.

First, the most fundamental cause was the dynamic of competing for favor; both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue realized the principle that cooperation benefits both.

Second was Hu Liena's penchant for novelty; she was the one who most loved seeking new thrills.

Finally, the key was still Qian Renxue; this person was truly a bit crazy.

With her dark side growing, it was not at all strange that she would suddenly do such an outlandish thing.

In any case, in the end, it all benefited Qin Jian alone.

Fortunately, his Spirit Power was now as vast as the sea, so it was already impossible for him to be easily worn down.

"I really indulged too much..."

Thinking of how he had held both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue together before leaving, Qin Jian felt a sense of magical realism.

"This kind of thing... to think it would actually happen..."

"How amazing..."

He flew to Sea God Island in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?"

Poseixi stood before the courtyard, walking over with some concern to look at him.

"Nothing, just thinking about some things."

Qin Jian finally came back to his senses.

"Sister, have you been waiting long?"

He smiled slightly and hugged Poseixi.

"I was the latecomer to begin with, so waiting a bit longer is only right."

She gently stroked Qin Jian's cheek, without a trace of resentment.

"However, if possible in the future, let everyone live together..."

She lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Not seeing you for so long, I feel very lonely..."

Qin Jian nodded: "Mm, I will build a large palace in the Star Dou Great Forest. By then, each of you will have a room. If you like it, you can live there; if you don't, you can also live outside. I will go visit you when I have time."

"You shouldn't be too tired either."

Poseixi smiled lightly: "You must also leave time for yourself."

Qin Jian held her hand and smiled softly: "No need, all my time belongs to you all."

Poseixi shook her head helplessly: "You don't owe us anything, understand? Choosing you was our own choice; don't mistreat yourself."

Qin Jian nodded: "I know. Forcing oneself cannot last long. I will be with you all according to my own heart, and right now, I cherish every minute and every second that I can have you."

"You, you're still so cute."

Poseixi couldn't help but touch his cheek again.

Qin Jian rubbed his face against her palm: "Sister, I'm hungry..."

Poseixi laughed: "You don't look like a master of the Plane at all."

"In front of Sister, what use is that kind of thing?" Qin Jian smiled very relaxedly.

"Come."

Poseixi took his hand and sat down at the table, and soon simple, delicious dishes were placed before him.

Clearly, she had prepared them long ago.

"Eat a good meal first, then rest for a while. There's no rush for the wedding," her gentle-as-water appearance softened Qin Jian's heart: "These days must have tired you out; you must balance work and rest."

"Sister is my harbor for rest."

Qin Jian smiled contentedly.

Poseixi rested her chin on her hand, watching him eat with satisfaction, as if this were the only thing she wanted to do.

"By the way, Sister, how is your absorption of the Ocean Heart going?" Qin Jian suddenly looked up and asked.

Poseixi was startled, then her expression became somewhat complex: "I have absorbed it very well. Now I have completely mastered the Ocean Power, and it won't even take long to break through beyond level one hundred."

"Sister seems... not very happy?" Qin Jian frowned and said.

Poseixi shook her head slightly: "I can't say whether I'm happy or not. It's just that I barely had to actively digest this Ocean Heart; it automatically underwent Fusion with me. There wasn't a trace of the Sea God's residual will inside. I don't know how many times simpler it was than Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu absorbing the Water and Fire Hearts..."

"Not a trace of the Sea God's will?"

Qin Jian paused, then suddenly understood: "It was the Sea God; he completely left behind the purest power?"

Poseixi said with a complex expression: "It seems that way now."

Qin Jian was silent for a moment, then said: "I really don't know why he was willing to do this in the end. Was it a dying act of kindness, or did he recover some fatherly affection?"

"It doesn't matter anymore..."

Poseixi shook her head gently: "In this life, I have no memory of him being my father, nor do I know what fatherly love is. To me, he was just a nominal existence. Let these things... just pass..."

Qin Jian nodded.

Poseixi's wedding was very simple; they didn't even notify the people of Sea God Island. Inside the courtyard, they bowed to the sky, and the ceremony was considered complete.

"Why does this feel like bowing to me?" Qin Jian was speechless.

Poseixi smiled lightly: "It's just a process, don't take it too seriously. The most important thing is the mutual recognition in our hearts."

"After these three days pass, you are going to look for Gu Yuena, right?" she suddenly asked.

The smile on Qin Jian's face faded slightly: "Mm, I will definitely find her."

"Only three days, is that enough?" Poseixi asked with concern.

Qin Jian shook his head: "Three days aren't needed at all. If things go smoothly, the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn is enough."

"Do you need anyone else to help?" Poseixi asked.

Qin Jian thought for a moment: "I don't know, but there is a guidance in the dark; if you are needed to appear, I think you will know when the time comes."

"I am almost one with the entire Plane; when I am transforming the world, the world will also influence the laws I have not yet mastered."

He watched the sky silently: "Such mystery is the true nature of heaven, earth, and all things, complementing each other while also restraining each other, not the control that the gods of the God Realm imagine."

Poseixi stared at him blankly for a long while: "I suddenly feel you are so distant..."

Qin Jian came back to his senses, smiling slightly as he held her tightly: "I am comprehending the nature of all things, so there is a bit of an ethereal air about me."

Poseixi quietly felt the temperature of his body and slowly closed her eyes: "Then will you become less and less like a human?"

"Less like a human?"

Qin Jian knew what she was worried about and couldn't help but explain: "No, the gods of the God Realm pursue natural laws by turning people into a part of nature, while affection is the emotion of living beings, so I am just incorporating the law of affection into myself."

Poseixi breathed a sigh of relief: "So, your essence is still a human."

"Mm," Qin Jian nodded and smiled: "The more I align with the rules, perhaps the more human I become, because I will cherish emotions more and more, eventually becoming the embodiment of affection."

"Let's not talk about this anymore..."

He suddenly swept Poseixi up into his arms: "Today is our wedding night, sister; why talk about such trivial things? Shouldn't we talk about the human body instead?"

"Talk about life? Why talk about life?" Poseixi asked, a bit dazed as she hugged his neck.

Qin Jian carried her toward the room, and they fell together onto the soft bed.

"Talk about the human body..."

"Mmm..."
