Chapter 61: Queenly Demeanor

The sadness from Su Chen’s departure lingered for a short while, but one must always look forward.

Looking at the room where he used to practice, he recalled yesterday’s intoxicating scene, and a blush colored his cheeks.

It felt a little strange, a little shy.

The scenes in the dream he had last night were a bit blurry, but they still gave Su Xuan inspiration and intuition.

Su Xuan ran directly onto the mat and, following the four steps his brother had told him yesterday, he carefully explored the mysteries of the operation and transformation of energons in his body.

This could greatly improve his efficiency in utilizing energons.

In this era where efficiency is king, being precise and fast was a phrase that perfectly matched the tide of the times.

The circulation of energons had to be fast, like a rushing river, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

The absorption of energons had to be precise.

Which parts needed more energons, which parts needed fewer—he had to understand all of these things clearly.

Su Xuan carefully explored the four steps: Initiation, Reception, Transformation, and Combination.

When circulating the energons, Su Xuan found that his fluency was much greater than before, as smooth as if it had been lubricated.

The rapid circulation of energons resulted in the rapid utilization of energons by the cells.

Like dry earth that hadn’t seen rain for years encountering water, the cells’ demand for energons was never satisfied.

However much came, it would devour, without spitting out the bones.

As a uniquely existing energy, energons served to strengthen cells and promote the combination of cells with Soul Essence.

Thanks to the crimson blade, it performed much better than Su Xuan had imagined.

Even now, it was continuously releasing yang-attribute Soul Essence, suppressing the yin-attribute Soul Essence brought by Su Xuan’er.

Su Xuan felt a little arrogant, wanting to show off in front of Su Xuan’er, but Su Xuan’er did not appear.

Recently, Su Xuan’er had always been like this, not communicating much with Su Xuan, like a transparent person.

But that was fine too.

Even though he knew she was him, having another person living in his mind always felt strange, especially when going to the bathroom and such.

Even though Su Xuan understood that as long as he didn’t grant her permission, all she could see was a virtual space, completely unable to perceive the outside world.

Su Xuan also felt that this would be very awkward, and Su Xuan’er’s existence more or less influenced his behavior.

He barely remembered the cultivation method Su Chen had mentioned and then used it once.

The effect was very good.

The first time you try anything, the effect is always good, but subsequent effects are not so obvious.

However, Su Xuan was not a person who needed immediate feedback.

It was enough to know that things would slowly get better this way.

The Soul Essence was quietly changing Su Xuan’s temperament, fine-tuning his facial features.

If the previous Su Xuan had a pure face, fresh and refined, untouched by the mortal world, now there was a hint of majesty, of dominance, just like a queen.

Although it was only a slight adjustment, the feeling it gave was completely different.

Before, he could only be described as beautiful, but now he could also be described as handsome.

If he were to wear a suit of men’s clothes, he would definitely be mistaken for a handsome man in drag.

There was no helping it.

Although the yang-attribute Soul Essence had won back some ground, his own chronic “illness” had been present for a long time.

While it wasn’t yet terminal, it wasn’t so easy to return to his original appearance.

Therefore, the female characteristics on Su Xuan’s body far outweighed the male characteristics now.

But with careful grooming and dressing, he could still pass as a handsome man in drag.
