Chapter 1231: Qin Yun Seeks Help

The next day.

Wang Jianqiang was practicing when his room door was suddenly knocked upon.

Wang Jianqiang opened the door.

He saw Qin Yun standing at the entrance.

She was draped in a thin layer of fabric, and through the fabric, the scene underneath was faintly visible.

Upon seeing this, a flash of awkwardness crossed Wang Jianqiang's face; he hurriedly averted his gaze and said somewhat constrainedly, "Yun'er, is something the matter?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's embarrassed appearance, Qin Yun's red lips curled slightly, "Daoist Friend Wang, the Spirit Pool Array in my room is broken. Rumor has it you are a genius at the Array Path; could you help me fix it?"

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, then nodded readily, "Of course I can, but I haven't devoted much energy to the Array Path, so my attainments are limited. I don't know if I'll be able to help you."

"You'll know once you try."

The curve of Qin Yun's mouth deepened.

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang and Qin Yun arrived at her room together.

Bang~

Just as the two entered the room, a sound suddenly came from behind them.

Wang Jianqiang turned his head to look and discovered that the room door had already been closed by Qin Yun.

He was stunned, then looked at Qin Yun, who was draped in only a thin gauze, the constraint in his expression becoming even more apparent, "Yun'er, why did you close the door?"

"We... this... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it?"

Qin Yun smiled, "Daoist Friend Wang is only here to help me repair the Array. Besides, this is inside my residence, and no one else will see."

Wang Jianqiang was startled, and the constraint and unease on his face faded quite a bit, but after taking another look at Qin Yun, the redness on his face grew even more intense.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Qin Yun, whether intentionally or unintentionally, let the edge of the gauze wrapped around her shoulders slip down to the edge of her chest.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze, "Yun'er, where is the Array? I'll fix it for you."

A faint, elusive smile appeared on Qin Yun's face as she pointed to a pool on one side of the room, "At the bottom of the Spirit Pool."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang hesitated for a moment, "This... if I need to inspect the Array, I'll need to enter the Spirit Pool... This is the Spirit Pool you soak in every day; wouldn't it be a bit improper for me to enter..."

"Of course it wouldn't be okay for others, but if it's you, Daoist Friend Wang, it naturally doesn't matter," Qin Yun said softly.

Wang Jianqiang was startled by these words and took a few extra looks at Qin Yun.

Afterward, he shifted his gaze with slight panic.

Seeing this, the smile on Qin Yun's face deepened a few degrees, "Why hasn't Daoist Friend Wang gone in yet? Could it be that you still have some concerns?"

"No... of course not..."

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly waved his hands.

After speaking, as if afraid that Qin Yun would continue to misunderstand, he hurriedly went to the edge of the Spirit Pool.

After a brief hesitation, he jumped into the Spirit Pool.

The moment he entered the Spirit Pool, a pleasant, floral-like scent immediately flooded his nasal cavity.

Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but feel a jolt to his spirit.

Just as he was about to dive to the bottom of the Spirit Pool to inspect the Array, Qin Yun's anxious voice suddenly came to his ears, "Daoist Friend Wang, how could you just go in like that?"

Wang Jianqiang was startled.

At this moment, Qin Yun's voice came again, "The Spirit Liquid in this Spirit Pool is very special and cannot be tainted by the aura of a Magic Treasure, otherwise its efficacy will be greatly diminished. Why don't you hurry up and put away all the Magic Treasures on your person?"

Wang Jianqiang was stunned, "Put away my Magic Treasures, but I..."

A trace of urgency appeared on Qin Yun's face, "No more 'buts.' The Spirit Liquid in this Spirit Pool is extremely precious; if you delay any longer, it will be affected."

"Alright, alright~"

Wang Jianqiang nodded hurriedly, then continued, "Yun'er, you should step aside for a moment."

"You are inside the Spirit Pool, and the Spirit Liquid isn't transparent, so what are you afraid of?" Qin Yun shot Wang Jianqiang a look.

Wang Jianqiang subconsciously looked at the Spirit Liquid in the pool, as if only just noticing that the Spirit Liquid was milky in color and not transparent.

Relieved, he hurriedly put away the Magic Treasures on his person.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Qin Yun, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Yun'er, I'm going down to fix the Array for you."

Having said that, he leaned over and dove to the bottom of the Spirit Pool.

He began to carefully inspect the Array at the bottom of the Spirit Pool.

Splash~

Just at this moment.

A sound suddenly came from above, and Wang Jianqiang was startled.

He was just about to look up.

His waist suddenly tightened.

His expression turned to shock, and he hurriedly turned his head to look.

Before him was a vast whiteness, unclear to the eye.

In his panic, he hurriedly surfaced.

After floating to the surface of the water, he turned his head to look and saw a whiteness before him.

Seeing that beautiful face behind him, he widened his eyes, seemingly in disbelief.

"Yun'er..."

"What are you doing?"

Qin Yun's face was rosy as she spoke softly, "Daoist Friend Wang, Yun'er has another favor to ask; could I trouble you to help me with it?"

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback and asked subconsciously, "What favor?"

"Help Yun'er break through an Inner Demon."

"An Inner Demon?"

"That's right. Daoist Friend Wang, your charm is too great; Yun'er has always admired you deeply."

"If I cannot become your person, Daoist Friend Wang, Yun'er will develop an Inner Demon. You are kind-hearted, Daoist Friend; surely you wouldn't stand by and watch me die, would you?"

Wang Jianqiang was dumbfounded, "Yun'er, you... this... I..."

"What? Does Daoist Friend Wang truly wish to stand by and watch me die?" Qin Yun looked on the verge of tears.

"No, Yun'er, you've misunderstood..."

Wang Jianqiang waved his hands in a panic, "How could I stand by and watch you die? It's just that I, Wang, have always kept myself chaste; if word were to get out..."

"Wouldn't people think that I, Wang, have a frivolous character and am a very casual person..."

"So, Daoist Friend Wang is worried about this."

Qin Yun smiled slightly, "Rest assured, Daoist Friend Wang, Yun'er will definitely keep it a secret for you and won't let anyone know."

"This..."

Wang Jianqiang was still somewhat hesitant.

Seeing this, Qin Yun continued, "Does Daoist Friend Wang think Yun'er is too ugly and unworthy of you?"

"Of course not. Yun'er, you are so beautiful that anyone would be attracted to you."

"Then you don't believe that Yun'er will keep it a secret for you?"

"How could that be? I, Wang, trust your character, Yun'er."

"Then what are you hesitating for? You know this, I know this, and no one else will know. What are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang let out a long sigh.

The look of hesitation on his face vanished, and he nodded heavily, "Since that is the case, I will help with this favor."

Qin Yun's expression turned joyful, "Daoist Friend Wang is truly kind-hearted; then I will trouble you."

Twenty days later.

Wang Jianqiang and Qin Yun returned to the main hall.

After sitting down, Wang Jianqiang looked at Qin Yun, a touch of shyness appearing on his face, "Yun'er, please, never let word of this matter get out."

"Rest assured, Daoist Friend Wang. You have helped Yun'er so much, how could Yun'er harm you?" Qin Yun nodded with a smile.

Wang Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qin Yun, and after a moment of hesitation said, "Yun'er, why don't you put on your Magic Dress first? It would be quite awkward if someone were to come in and see."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Only Miss Ran can enter here, and Miss Ran has already said she will not be coming for the next few days."

Although Qin Yun said this, she still listened to Wang Jianqiang's words.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on her body.

A plain-colored Magic Treasure dress appeared on her.

Wang Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief, his body, which had been tense and leaning forward, relaxed as he leaned back into the chair.
