Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Soul Spike

The moment the pill crossed Li Yao’s lips, its potent effects erupted throughout her system. Waves of healing energy cascaded through her meridians, mending torn muscles and shattered bones instantly. Her depleted spiritual reserves rapidly refilled as the medicinal essence worked its magic, washing away the exhaustion that had left her helpless moments before.

Since fifth-grade healing pills were specifically crafted for Soul Formation experts, the overwhelming surge of restorative power proved almost too much for someone at her Golden Core realm. But with her now Immortal-Grade spiritual root, the excess energy didn’t go to waste, it was all absorbed into her core, strengthening her cultivation base.

As a Soul Formation level pill, it also carried potent soul-healing properties that the Empress eagerly absorbed, though even these weren’t enough to fully restore the massive amounts of energy she had expended during the limit break.

[Aren’t you going to ask for spirit food for me?] The Empress asked.

But Li Yao completely ignored the request. Even after the pill had worked its magic and she’d regained her strength, she showed no intention of releasing Xiang Yu’s lips. Her arms remained wrapped around him, savoring the moment.

After struggling futilely for several heartbeats, Xiang Yu finally surrendered and allowed her to have her way. Only when she felt completely satisfied did Li Yao finally pull back, leaving him slightly breathless and thoroughly flustered.

When she finally released him, Xiang Yu turned away with an indignant expression. "Hmph," he muttered internally, his thoughts churning with outrage. Here he was, staying home every single day, taking care of the kids, and whenever she returned from her adventures, she was always trying to take advantage of his body. How shameless could one person be?

"Senior brother, I’m sorry," Li Yao approached him with an apologetic tone.

But Xiang Yu stubbornly looked in the opposite direction, his pride refusing to let him give in so easily. How could he allow others to take advantage of him whenever they pleased? What kind of man would that make him?

"What should I do now? Senior brother is angry," Li Yao asked.

[Hmph! What does it have to do with me? I’m also angry,] the Empress declared before retreating deep into Li Yao’s spiritual sea, refusing to respond to any further communication.

"I was wrong! If you help me, I’ll ask senior brother to prepare a good meal for you right now," Li Yao pleaded desperately.

[Hmph, it seems you still have some conscience,] the Empress finally responded. [Do this...] she began explaining her suggestion, causing Li Yao’s expression to brighten considerably.

"Senior brother, look at this technique I found after defeating the cult leader," Li Yao announced, producing a manual from her spatial ring.

"Hmph, there’s no way such an obvious trick would work on me," he thought dismissively. "But since it’s supposedly from the cult leader, I suppose I could just glance at it briefly..." Despite his protests, curiosity got the better of him, and he found himself stealing a look from the corner of his eye.

The moment his gaze fell upon the manual, his appraisal activated automatically:

[Name: Soul Spike]

[Type: Technique]

[Grade: Sacred]

[Info: A simple soul attack method created by ???] _{fre ewe bnove l.com}

Xiang Yu’s eyes widened in shock, his earlier resentment evaporating instantly. How could the words "simple" and "sacred grade soul attack method" possibly exist in the same sentence? There was absolutely no way this treasure had come from the cult leader.

His mind immediately jumped to the only logical conclusion: this had to be from the Human Empress. She was the only person he knew who would casually describe a sacred-grade technique as "simple," and definitely the only individual powerful enough to appear as "???" when his third-grade appraisal skill tried to identify her.

All thoughts of maintaining his angry facade vanished as Xiang Yu practically teleported to Li Yao’s side, moving so quickly that even she seemed startled by the sudden change in his attitude.

He quickly took the technique manual from her hands, his eyes shining with undisguised excitement. "Yao Yao, your senior brother really wants this," he admitted.

"I knew you would like it. I took it just for you," she replied with a sweet smile.

Xiang Yu gazed at her with something approaching worship. Was his junior sister actually an angel in disguise? The earlier incident where she’d taken advantage of him suddenly seemed completely insignificant.

What did it matter if she stole a few kisses when she could provide treasures like this? Exchanging his body for a sacred-grade soul attack technique was definitely the deal of the century—there was no way his body was worth that much. In fact, he felt like he might be scamming her just a little bit, but who cared about such minor details?

Li Yao’s smile widened as she watched his reaction. That technique was just one of countless methods the Empress possessed—she had millions of similar techniques gathering dust in her memory. Exchanging it for a simple kiss wasn’t a loss at all; it was practically free. Although she felt like she might be scamming her senior brother just a tiny bit, she didn’t care. How else would he learn about the harsh realities of the cultivation world?

Both of them looked at each other with knowing glances, each convinced they’d gotten the better end of the bargain, laughing internally at having successfully scammed the other person completely.
