Chapter 189 Closer and Closer

Pondering about the feelings he felt, Xiao Jiuyuan gently knocked on the small table in the middle of the carriage. Unfortunately, his action did not attract the attention of Yun Qianyu. She was still focused on the spirit energy evoking book in her hand and did not notice Xiao Jiuyuan's mood change. In fact, she had completely forgotten that Xiao Jiuyuan was even in the carriage at all.1

With a stern look on his face, Xiao Jiuyuan gloomily stared at Yun Qianyu and said slowly, "Are you sure you can really understand the contents of that book?"

Hearing this, Yun Qianyu finally raised her head and looked at Xiao Jiuyuan. "In time I will understand it, I am confident I can digest the contents of this manual."

Reading and understanding books had never been a problem for Yun Qianyu. That was why she was not worried about it.

However, Xiao Jiuyuan let out a faint smile and said, "You'll probably need three months to understand the contents."

Yun Qianyu stared at Xiao Jiuyuan coldly and said in an annoyed tone, "Li Prince, are you saying I'm stupid? Wouldn't three months be enough for me to understand the manual?"

"The Prince has already spoken in moderation. Some people need a whole year to fully understand the contents."

After Yun Qianyu heard that, her previous annoyance subsided and she felt a little better. She looked up at Xiao Jiuyuan and saw how the soft glow of the illuminating jades shone softly on his handsome face.

Yun Qianyu couldn't help but admire how the Heavens had favored Xiao Jiuyuan. Not only did he have a uniquely handsome face, but his spirit energy was also limitless. Yun Qianyu did not forget Xiao Jiuyuan's earlier remarks when they were at Galan Academy, where he had said that he was the first person to have superior innate spirit energy.

Therefore, Xiao Jiuyuan was almost like the Heaven's favorite. He was good-looking, capable, and experienced. Furthermore, as the youngest son of the Empress and the emperor's brother, he was loved by everyone.

This was also how he had come to develop his arrogant and domineering personality.

Thinking about it, Yun Qianyu said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me that I would only need three months to understand the contents."

Xiao Jiuyuan replied, "I believe that with your ability, it would only take you three months to understand it. You are at least a little smarter than other people."

In his mind, Xiao Jiuyuan felt that he had been pretty kind with his words.

However, Yun Qianyu's face darkened when she heard it. If she'd had the ability, she would have held him down and punched his face to a pulp. "Should I thank Your Highness for your praise?"

Seeing that Yun Qianyu was in a bad mood, Xiao Jiuyuan felt somewhat better. In a better mood and feeling generous, he reached for the book in Yun Qianyu's hand and said lazily, "Since this Prince is in a good mood, I'll give you some insight into evoking your spirit energy."

With that, he flipped open the manual and scooched over toward Yun Qianyu.

He pointed at the book and said, "Here, the first part is to warm and nourish your meridians, then slowly control the spirit energy with your will. Will it as though it were your hand and make it a part of you. Don't treat it as some sort of power but as an extension of yourself."

In the carriage, Xiao Jiuyuan's explained in detail about the manual in his husky voice. In the beginning, Yun Qianyu looked at him coldly and wanted to remind him of the one-meter distance rule. 'Is he going to ignore that rule now?'

But soon, Yun Qianyu was captivated by Xiao Jiuyuan's explanation and forgot about how close they were sitting together.
