Watching Feng Yi's increasingly wicked smile, Qi'er was not the least bit afraid, "Hee hee, I just want to bully you."

"Then I'll be malicious just this once, girl, just watch how I'll teach you..."

Before Feng Yi could finish the word "teach", the girl reacted with lightning speed, striking several swift, light taps on his body. Her speed was so fast that even Feng Yi hadn't anticipated her to act so ruthlessly.

His other foot went numb as well, but this time it was his right foot.

As the ancients recorded: Hand and foot meridians connect to the heart; the coronary meridians spread to the left shoulder—Feng Yi suffered from a hidden illness that caused insufficient blood flow and an imbalance of yin and yang. Nangong Qi's mischievous acupressure sealing technique was like adding frost to the snow for Feng Yi's physical condition.

"Hey, you!" Feng Yi managed only two words before his body reacted to the meridian seal with a domino effect. Within seconds, he felt a sudden, intense pain in three places—his chest, left shoulder, and right foot—making him fall back onto the bed.

It must be a joke... Such basic meridian seals wouldn't cause any trouble for a normal person's constitution, let alone the bear-like strength of Feng Yi. Nangong Qi initially just wanted to tease him, thinking the pained expression was all an act.

But looking at him with furrowed brows, gritted teeth, and a steadfast demeanor, how could that be an act? Despite not making a sound, Qi knew all too well what lay beneath his seemingly careless exterior: his true nature was that of an iron-boned, resolute tough man. He despised weakness and tears, never showing his vulnerable side even if he was beaten to the brink, losing teeth in the process. He had a will stronger than anyone else's.

Qi's understanding of Feng Yi was not wrong; the battle with Desert Storm was a prime example. Even if he fought until the end, fought until he lost consciousness, he would persist like an unyielding rock until the very last moment.

Nangong Qi's heart skipped a beat, completely panicked! She hurriedly turned Feng Yi over, her bare hand formed into a pointing gesture, light halos emerged from her fingertips, and she rapidly tapped and slid along various meridians on Feng Yi's back...

At that moment, Feng Yi had already passed out. After half a minute and right when Nangong Qi decided to call an ambulance, Feng Yi barely came to...

"Feng Yi, how are you?" Qi suddenly felt an intense heartache and regret, quickly embracing Feng Yi with blurred, tearful eyes and softly asking.

"Heh, it's an old ailment. Look how scared you are; why are you crying?"

"What kind of ailment is it again?"

"That... nevermind, it's just a blood circulation issue."

"Tell me!" Qi'er lowered her voice, her tone unusually decisive, and her voice very coarse.

Seeing no way out, Feng Yi lifted up his shirt and said, "It's a blood circulation problem, look, it's all red here."

"Soul-devouring Seal!" Nangong Qi murmured... A fleeting chill flashed quietly through her eyes.

However, since Feng Yi wasn't on guard, he failed to notice and said, "You recognize this thing?"

"I've seen some records about it in the Book Pavilion. Forget about that, tell me, how was your body sealed?" Nangong Qi said so, but upon seeing the Soul-devouring Seal, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, about that..."

It was a curious story that began with his first fight with Mengdie. As for the previous year or even earlier, Feng Yi couldn't remember clearly, since who has the time to consider specific months and years during times of war.

So, he summarized the events with some omissions and mentioned that woman was incredible to be able to cast spells through the internet. Of course, in the course of his explanation, Feng Yi also clarified that it was all a misunderstanding.

She saved you, you saved her, then you let her go, and she kind of let you go in return. Nangong Qi grew more and more sour as he listened, knowing that there was no misunderstanding, yet he also knew Feng Yi was magnanimous, not one to hold grudges. He said, "So this isn't what they call killing through a wire mesh after all."

"What is it then?"

"The Soul-devouring Seal is a Five Elements forbidden technique of the Jade Clear Sect, divided into Phase Comparison, Mind Stabilization, Soul-devouring, and Soul Separation—broadly speaking, Phase Comparison is the art of the Five Elements physiognomy, which penetrates the heart through facial analysis. As the saying goes, the face reflects the heart, and life is what one makes of it. This can be classified as the initial condition for learning the Soul-devouring Seal, and it is also the easiest to master."

"And what about Mind Stabilization?"

"Mind Stabilization is much more formidable. It refers to the first imprint placed on the area of your heart. You know, within the Five Elements, the heart meridian is attributed to fire. The pulsation of the heart meridian is the essence of life, and as each person's magnetic field is different, determining a person's magnetic field is undoubtedly about contacting the position closest to the heart. Generally speaking, this is also where the name Soul-devouring Seal comes from—using Phase Comparison for reading faces and Mind Stabilization for reading fields. Based on individual magnetic field fluctuations and facial changes, the heart meridian is triggered a second time, which is the second imprint on your heart meridian, to ensure an accurate mind reading effect. This is what's referred to as Soul-devouring."

"This person is a superpowered individual with an extremely high sensitivity to mental abilities and sharp observational skills—of course, during your fight with her, your heart must have relaxed, revealing a slight flaw, hence she was able to pinpoint your location."

Feng Yi was slightly taken aback; indeed, every time he logged in using the Revenge Shadow Rider account, he would more or less worry about whether someone might suddenly approach him, and whether the environment or star domain he was in was safe. Thus, that group of people was able to accurately lock onto his home star domain. If they were in the same star domain, it would be much easier to track down that person by following the magnetic field.

As for Soul Separation, it was understandable. In Nangong Qi's explanation, it essentially involved locating the target based on the correct position and, at the target's most relaxed moment—usually during sleep—using powerful mental abilities to take control of the tracking target.

Therefore, mastering the forbidden technique was not difficult; the stringent preconditions for learning were the main issue. Just the superpower of mental ability alone had excluded over 99.99% of people. As for everything manifested in dreams, it was merely an illusion created by the practitioner. However, you have no resistance in your dreams, while the practitioner's mind is completely aware.

At present, Feng Yi's physical state meant he obviously couldn't eat; he just wanted to find a cozy spot to rest. He almost lay in Qi'er's arms as he listened to a whole explanation—an explanation not covered in the data for a special case like his.

After continuous battles during the day and the recent severe damage from the critical hit, Feng Yi was indeed very exhausted. As they talked, he couldn't help but fall asleep, leaving Nangong Qi with a puzzled and helpless expression. Hey... what kind of move was that? He had called the girl over, and in the middle of eating and talking, he just fell asleep. What was she supposed to do now?

Click...

The light went out, but the room wasn't dark; reflected light still allowed one to vaguely discern the furnishings within.

Nangong Qi bent over, her head approaching the closest position to Feng Yi's heart...

Feng Yi opened his eyes slightly, and saw Qi'er's fluttering eyelashes. She gently lowered her gaze, her cheeks burning, yet she didn't shy away; even her lingering shyness seemed to be well concealed by the dark environment.

Feng Yi opened his eyes... then closed them again.

Nangong Qi almost couldn't hold back a laugh. The blockhead was still pretending to sleep. Although he had only opened his eyes slightly before, it didn't escape Nangong Qi's delicate observation.

She boldly moved even closer to Feng Yi, her hair falling down, teasingly touching Feng Yi's cheek, inevitably causing him to suddenly feel a peculiar itch on his face...

Nangong Qi's breath was like orchids. Feng Yi could clearly feel it on his face, prompting him to open his eyes again... and unthinkingly scratched his face. His actions were as smooth as could be. Then he calmly closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened before.

"You blockhead, still pretending."

Nangong Qi was not in a hurry at all, propping up her delicate body into a more comfortable position, then gently bent down, curling a strand of her hair, and began to poke at Feng Yi with the very tip of her hair.

In fact, the feeling of being caressed on the cheek by hair was quite comfortable, the key being the control of the strength. With just a tiny bit more force, the sense of comfort could be replaced by 'tickling'.

Nangong Qi's seal-making was swift. She had a deft pair of hands, which goes without saying. What's more, she was considerate, knowing how to maintain decorum. Unlike Feng Yi's impetuousness, this girl had patience, gently comforting Feng Yi's face without causing him any discomfort.
