Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 620 - 191: Martial Fool, Martial God

As long as you’re alive, Yin Qi cannot enter your Divine Soul and change you.

However, this wisp of Yin Qi still had an effect.

If Li Yuan had not undertaken related cultivation, this wisp of Yin Qi would quietly lie dormant; but if he had, it would become a needle, constantly stimulating him, subtly playing a promoting role.

...

On this day, Hanzhou Path was covered with swirling snowflakes.

And in two months’ time, Xie Yu’s sense of shame had already been wiped away.

She was about to give birth to a Heart Demon.

Therefore, the third young lady of the Marshal’s Mansion directly took Li Yuan’s hand and coldly asked, "Do you like me or not?"

Li Yuan didn’t answer, instead he pulled her into his embrace.

That night, the two who only shared the name of a couple, finally consummated their marriage in reality.

Xie Yu transformed from a girl into a woman, her heart’s knot was untied, she began to understand what kind of man she had married, and she forgave such a man.

To relax, Li Yuan did not immediately return to the secret chamber but instead wandered around the mansion with Xie Yu.

Xie Yu dragged him this way and that, and soon they arrived at the Library Pavilion of the Marshal’s Mansion.

"Our family’s library hides quite a few rare books, let’s go take a look." Just newly a woman, Xie Yu held onto Li Yuan’s hand, unwilling to let go even for a moment.

Having lived in seclusion, Li Yuan followed her with curiosity to the library.

He flipped through some pages and found that the library held quite a few cultivation skills, as well as historical records.

He began reading and was quickly entranced.

Not until night did Xie Yu pull him away to sleep.

That night, Li Yuan quietly felt the collision of flesh.

An unexpected feeling of "strange aversion" suddenly arose in his mind, as if he detested life, and thus also detested reproduction.

He looked at the beautiful form in the candlelight, like a flame-dyed body, but it seemed like a pile of flesh, a pile of Sixth Grade Blood and Flesh, even the warmth in this flesh and his own body’s heat made him feel an "aversion".

This "aversion" was just faint, but its very emergence surprised Li Yuan deeply.

Suddenly, Xie Yu softly called out, then lay weakly on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan covered her with a quilt, then turned to one side.

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat gloomily, "Are you done?"

Li Yuan said, "Me?"

"Do you... not like me?" Xie Yu asked.

Li Yuan understood, he turned back toward her.

Xie Yu said, "No need to force yourself..."

Li Yuan said, "I’ve just been thinking about cultivating lately."

"Oh..." Xie Yu turned over, leaning against the side of the bed.

Li Yuan gently moved closer, caressing her shoulder, murmuring words that could barely pass as romantic.

As they talked, he mustered the effort to finish what he had left undone.

...

Days passed by steadily.

In this process, Xie Yu began to understand her man’s thoughts.

Li Yuan didn’t dislike her, nor did he have other ideas, he was simply absorbed in martial arts.

Once realizing this, Xie Yu no longer forced him.

And Li Yuan was pleased to have peace.

He cut off all social interaction, simply cultivating quietly, reading quietly, waiting quietly.

And his behavior sharply contrasted with that of Xie Jian’an, making the family appear increasingly odd.

...

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

Li Yuan found himself "ill".

He became extremely averse to the "body", also detesting using his "body" to collide with a woman’s body.

And his "body" seemed to abhor him intensely.

He couldn’t see his Divine Soul, but he could feel it growing cold, constantly cold.

It was a kind of cold deep in the soul.

Yet, his blood was scalding, his flesh felt as if it was burning.

It was like someone suffering from cold yet running a high fever, losing interest in everything.

However, these both focused on the "sword".

His flesh and blood drove the "sword", capable of condensing Sword Qi.

His Divine Soul was also contemplating the "sword".

Hence, the two both repelled each other and yet were unified.

When Li Yuan didn’t hold the sword, he felt quite pained, quite uncomfortable;

But as soon as he gripped the sword, he suddenly calmed down.

Because only at that moment, his body and his Divine Soul "unified", like a layer of separation between ice and fire.

...

This winter, Li Yuan finally saw his elusive, unreliable brother-in-law.

The brother-in-law wore a pitch-black helmet, his body covered in Heavy Armor to attend the year-end family banquet.

At the banquet, the brother-in-law with a blank gaze stared at a platter of beef for nearly the time it takes a stick of incense to burn, until Xie Wei beside him picked some with chopsticks and said, "Elder brother, you’re home now, just eat."

After saying this, she inadvertently glanced at her brother-in-law, only to see him embracing his sword, frowning at the table full of delicacies, clearly lacking any appetite, yet forcing himself to sit there for the sake of this banquet.

Beside him, Xie Yu awkwardly explained to the Fifth Madam, "He’s contemplating cultivation."

A table with two odd ones.

Xie Wei said, "Why not let them sit together then."

The whole table agreed.

With these two at the table, the others might as well forget about enjoying the meal.

At the main table, Xie Jian’an laughed heartily, "That’s good, the quiet sorts should be together, while we lively ones mingle around."

Thus, Li Yuan and Xie Feng sat together.

Xie Feng’s attention shifted from the beef to the chicken.

While Li Yuan saw only the meat itself.

Someone said, "General Xie is a prodigious talent, a top figure among the Fifth Grade, why not spar with the brother-in-law."
