"Xiaoshu! I asked you to check on Wei Zhao, not to drool over him!" Gu Mengyao was more than a little annoyed. Of all the times for Shen Yushu to start admiring Wei Zhao's naked body!
"Oh—right, right..." Only then did Shen Yushu hurry over and begin examining Wei Zhao closely, head to toe—not even sparing his private parts. Fortunately, this time she was not joking around but utterly serious, as though genuinely checking whether anything was wrong with him. Gu Mengyao found it awkward but did not stop her; she merely kept watch on Shen Yushu out of the corner of her eye, not daring to look directly.
After a long examination, Shen Yushu reached her conclusion: Wei Zhao appeared to have no problems at all—apart from being unclothed, his body was completely intact! So she said, "Yao-yao, I can't see anything wrong with Arrow-Brand Bro, but I've never actually seen another boy naked, so I'm not really sure whether he has other problems!"
"Drop dead!" Gu Mengyao snapped. "You take the inch and ask for the mile!"
"You could look too, Yao-yao—you're the one who won't," Shen Yushu retorted.
Aunt Qing had been about to rush over at the sound of Gu Mengyao's scream, but once Shen Yushu said Wei Zhao was unclothed, naturally she could hardly go and look. Still, she was beside herself with worry. Now, hearing that there was nothing wrong with Wei Zhao's body, she could not help feeling puzzled. "Wei Zhao's skin—there's nothing off about it? It hasn't turned blue-purple? And there's no sign of shriveling?"
"No!" Shen Yushu shook her head and said with certainty.
"Hm? Then that's strange. Could it be that he didn't take the Intermediate Qi-Gathering Pill to break through?" Aunt Qing thought it over, and this was the only possibility she could come up with. So she called out from not far outside the door, "Wei Zhao, it's your Aunt Qing. I know you can hear me. Do not take the Intermediate Qi-Gathering Pill to break through—the consequences would be severe!"
Having said that, she turned to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. "All right, both of you come out now. Don't disturb him—I've already told him!"
"Okay!" Hearing Aunt Qing's words, Gu Mengyao was still a little doubtful, but it seemed there was nothing to worry about after all, so she finally relaxed. "Xiaoshu, let's go!"
"But I haven't looked my fill yet..." Shen Yushu said, reluctant to leave.
"You little pervert, keep it up and you can stay here—I'm leaving!" Gu Mengyao said angrily.
"Oh, then I'm leaving too..." Shen Yushu said she was leaving, but she kept looking back at every step, until Gu Mengyao, furious, gave her a kick. "Move it!"
Wei Zhao was in fact perfectly aware of everything happening outside, but at this moment he was busy dealing with the trouble he had run into—how could he spare the attention for them? He had heard Aunt Qing's words as well, and could only smile bitterly to himself. If only she had come a step earlier, he would not have been caught so off guard!
So to the conversation between the women outside the door, Wei Zhao could only respond with a bitter smile.
Still, Wei Zhao's skin had indeed been blue-purple before—that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had not noticed anything unusual was because Wei Zhao had found a way to solve the problem!
That earlier feeling of "suffocation" had been agony for Wei Zhao. Because of the lack of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy, he had a flash of inspiration and quickly entered the jade pendant's space! Outside, there was no heaven-and-earth spiritual energy—but the jade pendant's space was different. There, heaven-and-earth spiritual energy was inexhaustible!
Sure enough, once Wei Zhao entered the jade pendant's space, vast quantities of pure energy surged into his body, swiftly nourishing his meridians and dantian!
