Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 134: Hidden Danger

Li Mo asked, Have you sometimes felt an unbearable itch on your chest over the years?

Yang Honglei was startled.

The itch must have come as fast as it went, barely lasting a minute.

Yang Hongying shivered, How did you know?

I dab in healing.

Yang Hongying asked, Then do you know the reason?

As your soul power grows, it will clog the meridians in time. It is still in its infancy, but left alone, the itch will not only appear more often but also expand.

What do you mean by expand?

One side large, the other small. Is that clear enough for you?

Yang Hongying blushed and huffed.

How do I cure it?

Massage the afflicted area three times a day. Youll see effects in a month, improvement in a year, and cure in two. But you are not to use your soul power within this time or it will make the treatment pointless.

Not using soul power for two years? Thats impossible. Isnt there another way?

Look for a proficient qi user to use his spiritual qi and clear the affected area. After ten to twelve times youll be cured, but you nonetheless cant use soul power all the while.

And how is that done?

Simple really, massaging it.

And youre a proficient qi user?

Somewhat.

Rotten bastard, I just knew you have a black heart.

I told you of the two ways, so choose whichever you like. But if you chose me to heal you, I am not obliged to help you for free.

What are you saying? You mean you want money on top?

Money is something I have in abundance. But it just so happens that I do seem to be strapped for alliance points.

Tch, you cant fool me. Letting you rub your fill then give you points is a double loss I will never agree to.

Suit yourself. But do keep in mind, your situation is as serious as it gets. At least dont use soul power or the hidden danger will backlash after the next twenty attempts.

You dont scare me!

Yang Hongyings face flushed and turned her back to Li Mo, rubbing her chest on the sly. The itch was back.

Li Mo took a chair and rested.

Ages later, Yang Hongyings itch up and vanished and she asked Li Mo, You said youre a qi user?

En.

Liar. I have seen how a qi user releases his qi. He needs to sit cross-legged and be engrossed in meditation. Your posture is anything but that.

The world is filled with millions of cultivation methods, with plenty of those than dont require for someone to take such a stance. This only shows how ignorant you are.

Yang Hongying gnashed her teeth.

I still dont believe it! You say the hidden danger will backlash after twenty uses of soul power? Whod believe such lie?

Split!

Return!

Split!

Return!

Li Mo provoked Yang Hongying through his words and in an hour, she left and returned her body for over twenty times.

Ha-ha, did you see? I am healthy as a horse. What hidden danger? Its clear that you want to take advantage of me. But not today!

Li Mo closed his eyes and meditated.

Yang Hongying took out a string filled with bells and set it as a boundary.

Yang Hongying said, Im going to bed, but dont get any ideas. If the bells ring, Ill kill you!

Li Mo said with closed eyes, Thats my line.

Dont you worry. I would rather go to Sun Wei than you.

Even better.

In the dead of night, Yang Hongying was roused awake by an insufferable itch.

I cant take it. She could handle it at first but it became unbearable soon after.

Twenty minutes passed as she sneaked a rub, but the itch was relentless.

Hey, hurry up and help me. I cant take it!

Yang Hongying jumped out of bed making the bells ring quite nicely. She ran to Li Mo.

Sun Wei is next door.

Y-you damn bastard! I wouldve never suffered so if it werent for you!

How is it my fault? It was you who were so set on proving me wrong. Itd be stranger if the itch wasnt so strong after using your soul power twenty times in quick succession.

Theres nothing to fear though. It will pass in half an hour, at most.

Half an hour? I wont last a minute more. Hurry and help me rub.

Yang Hongying was close to tears. In her desperation, she even took Li Mos hand. 

Then, her itch up and left.

As per Li Mos diagnosis, the itch didnt even last half an hour.

Its better? Yang Hongying let go of Li Mos hand and sported a queer face.

Dont use soul power again, and rub yourself three times a day for the next two years to cure it.

Yang Hongying watched Li Mo silently. She was unable to accept it but Li Mos explanation matched her condition. It was hard not to believe him now.

Youre really a qi user?

Li Mo didnt feel like repeating himself.

How long will the itch last the next time I use my soul power?

Ten minutes at the least, with a chance of persisting for half an hour.

Yang Hongying shuddered. Ten minutes had her within an inch of her life and could tell how torturous would thirty minutes be.

Yang Hongying sat back on the bed. Try as she might, sleep eluded her. 

She didnt risk using soul power either.

On the morrow, more experts checked in the hotel. Shenjing Provinces two leaders Auntie Lan and Zhang Jingshen were among them. Yang Hongying went to greet them while Li Mo rather stayed cooped up in the room, cultivating.

This time its serious.

At three in the afternoon, Yang Hongying burst into the room with a yell.

A leader from Chuan Provinca and a leader from Hu Province came. Even the capital sent a third level elite and a fourth level official.  My god, in all my stay in the alliance, this is my first time seeing a fourth level official.

Yang Hongying was in high spirits.

Hey, cant you be a little excited?

Li Mo opened his eyes.

Fourth level official!

Whats wrong?

Damn it, your reaction is pissing me off.

Li Mo nodded, Youre not the first to tell me that.

Yang Hongying was dumstruck.

By the way, I received notice that our leaders are holding a feast tonight and attendance is mandatory for all experts of Shenjing Province.

Alright.
