Similarly, cultivators lost one to fifty strands each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair could not be cut and he never lost strands like other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he rarely lost blood but when he did, his body was weakened for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Zhen Yuan intentionally plucked his hair and forced himself to bleed, Shen Xu was simultaneously angry and worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? How did you pluck you hair?\" The double questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan didn’t answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he pulled the person into his arms and hugged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Zhen Yuan sighed but didn’t release the double.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, I want you to be safe.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Higher realm coercion won’t affect you as long as you have that earring.\" Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are right. Drawing my blood and plucking my hair will likely weaken my body for more than a decade. However, it’s worth it. I am willing to do anything to keep you safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard this, Shen Xu didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhen Yuan’s position, he would also do the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, knowing was different from accepting. He couldn’t help but feel guilty towards Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, the weakness will only cause some lethargy but won’t affect my cultivation or strength. Don’t worry, everything will be fine as long as I take care of myself for the next decade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yuan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" Shen Xu said, tightening his arms around his husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the deed was already done, there was no use in dwelling on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing Shen Xu could do was take care of Zhen Yuan and protect him as much as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am always willing.\" Zhen Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will always the earring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hugged for a time before Shen Xu withdrew from the person’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still haven’t told me how you plucked hair?\" The double asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I honestly don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to pluck one strand, so I tried and unexpectedly succeeded. However, I didn’t succeed when I tried to pluck a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You tried to pluck a second?\" Shen Xu angrily pinched the person and Zhen Yuan smiled with a doting look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just a little curious. Also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to use essence blood for the crystal but I couldn’t take it out. I only managed to draw a drop of ordinary blood.\" Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately.\" Shen Xu sighed in relief but soon frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yuan, your body is too strange. You are fundamentally powerful but your body is too vulnerable. We can’t let a third person discover this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know but you don’t have to worry.\" Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have encountered danger many times and been injured several times. However, I have never lost hair, skin, or blood. My injuries are usually internal. Excluding this time, the only other time I lost blood was when I contracted the brush in Two Reeds Town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still have to be careful.\" Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, let’s wear the special robes you refined before we leave the secret realm.\" Zhen Yuan suggested and Shen Xu didn’t argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they both had an idea of what they would encounter when they left the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that, they had to prepare as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We also need to talk to Lin Xiang.\" Shen Xu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the two left their cave and went to find Lin Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Lin Xiang was soaking in the hot spring and she looked up when she saw the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan.\" She greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you return to the spring?\" Shen Xu asked and entered the spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, the three soaked while discussing what would happen when they went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, the secret realm closed as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>",1019,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.892Z",1,"novelbin.me","4489498833f73255aa908b3ffd851f9d370950213a03675a2498c95bb4b4f739","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-148","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-146",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
