Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

This is what is called "sunk cost". Originally, Zhang Haiyun did not have such a strong desire for Ye Ling'er, but being kept in suspense like this and having invested so much, it is inevitable that he feels unwilling.

That's why he visited in person today, at least to meet Ye Ling'er.

If you really get rejected, it’s better to give up the idea as soon as possible.

Anle knew Zhang Haiyun's thoughts very well.

This is the so-called "dog-licking psychology". Even if Zhang Haiyun successfully licks many people with his status, strength and resources, he will still fall into this situation.

Thinking of this, Anle couldn't help but look at Zhang Haiyun with sympathy.

'I wonder how he will react to the 'surprise' I prepared.'

Anle smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you let me ask Senior Sister to open the door, and then you can go sit in her room?"

Zhang Haiyun's face showed joy: "Are you serious?"

"Of course I take it seriously. I think Palace Master Zhang seems to be interested in my senior sister, so I'll just go with the flow and help you meet her."

"Of course, success or failure depends on my senior sister's opinion."

Hearing this, Zhang Haiyun was in a good mood and smiled brightly: "Thank you very much, Brother An."

He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: "Sure enough, Anle is still too young. He just fooled around a bit and obeyed my orders."

At this time, Anle had already walked to the door and shouted inside.

"Senior sister, please open the door. I'm coming in."

"Oh, it's Junior Brother. Please come in."

Ye Ling'er's pleasant voice came from the door. Her voice was still as beautiful as before, like a clear spring in the mountains. Zhang Haiyun narrowed his eyes when he heard it.

He had been waiting at the door for a long time, but Ye Ling'er didn't respond. However, as soon as Anle opened his mouth, he immediately gave a reply.

"It seems that she really dotes on this little junior fellow apprentice."

Zhang Haiyun's heart was slightly sour, and then he thought again: "But now, I finally have a chance!" '

Many ways to deal with women emerged in his mind, and he thought of many beautiful scenes, and he couldn't help but smile.

With full of anticipation and excitement, Zhang Haiyun quickly walked into the room.

To his surprise, the room was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

All the lights that were supposed to be on went out, and there was an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Zhang Haiyun's spiritual consciousness tentatively went deeper into the darkness before him, but it seemed to be blocked by something and he could not see the scene deep in the shadow.

"Why don't you light the lamp, Brother Ye?"

Zhang Haiyun coughed dryly and asked softly.

Ye Ling'er's faint voice came from the darkness: "I like this kind of environment."

Zhang Haiyun had no choice but to nod to show that he understood.

Immortal cultivators always have various quirks in order to gain enlightenment, so it is not surprising that Ye Linger has such a special preference.

After walking two steps inside, Zhang Haiyun smelled a strange sweet smell mixed with a slight rotten smell.

For a Nascent Soul like him with keen senses, this strange smell was magnified several times, causing him to frown slightly.

"crunch..."

At the same time, a strange and hoarse sound was heard in the darkness, like chewing, which was creepy.

Zhang Haiyun's hair stood up slightly. This was clearly Ye Ling'er's boudoir, but he felt that... there was a strange and terrifying evil spirit hiding in the darkness!

"What, what's that sound?"

Ye Ling'er didn't answer.

Unconsciously, Zhang Haiyun's heart was in a state of tension, and his mind was filled with ominous premonitions.

But at this time he had not given up his desire for Ye Ling'er, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Ye, are you in danger? I will save you right now!"

As he spoke, Zhang Haiyun strode forward and stepped on something hard.

He looked down and his heart skipped a beat.

This is actually a piece of bone!

There were still several mottled tooth marks on the pale bones.

Zhang Haiyun looked solemn: "What on earth is this..."

The further he went in, the more bones he saw and stepped on.

In the end, Zhang Haiyun became somewhat numb, and at the same time thought to himself: "If I succeed in being a hero and saving the beauty, Fellow Daoist Ye will definitely look at me with new eyes."

However, after a while, he saw a huge shadow.

The faint light cast a shadow on the wall, almost covering the entire room.

As the main body moves, the shadow also keeps wriggling and twisting, like an indescribable monster, enough to make ordinary people subconsciously feel uneasy and panic.

Zhang Haiyun shouted, "Fellow Daoist Ye, where are you?"

I saw the huge body slowly turning around, casting a puzzled look from top to bottom: "Am I not right here?"

After seeing the appearance of this body clearly, Zhang Haiyun was struck by lightning. His eyes widened with disbelief.

A heavy mountain of meat stood in front of Zhang Haiyun.

The layers of fat piled up together almost tore apart that special Taoist robe. One could imagine the noise she made when she moved.

Her face was round, her eyes were squeezed by fat to a slit, and she had a bone in her mouth that had been eaten clean.

Even though she had become rounder, Zhang Haiyun could still recognize her at a glance.

If this person isn't Ye Ling'er, then who else could it be?

"Eh? Isn't this Palace Master Zhang?"

As soon as Ye Ling'er saw Zhang Haiyun, she immediately spat out the bones in her mouth, revealing two rows of pale teeth, and said with a smile: "What do you want from me?"

"By the way, I also want to thank you for the delicious food you sent me a few days ago. It tasted really good!"

"belch--"

At this point, Ye Ling'er even let out a heart-wrenching burp.

The shock made Zhang Haiyun's eardrums vibrate slightly, and the smell of food residue suddenly penetrated into his nasal cavity.

Zhang Haiyun looked dazed.

"This is totally different from what I thought..."

The gap between reality and fantasy was so huge that he began to doubt whether he was dreaming.

Once the object of his imaginary beautiful scene was replaced by the mountain of flesh before him...

Zhang Haiyun felt a chill on his back, and he shivered violently twice, with goose bumps all over his body. He said repeatedly, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out of the room as if escaping.

Ye Ling'er's anxious voice came from behind: "You can go, but leave the food here!"

Not long after, Zhang Haiyun fled from the room in a panic, slamming the door shut. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, with a hint of fear still in his eyes.

"Palace Master Zhang, why did you come out so soon?"

Anle suppressed his laughter in his heart, but still pretended to be concerned and asked.

Zhang Haiyun looked unhappy: "This kid definitely did it on purpose!"

He forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Then, he left in a hurry.

Anle waved his hand: "Master Zhang, take care!"

The other monks in the Qinghan Branch Hall were also very surprised when they saw Zhang Haiyun's fleeing behavior, and they talked about it in a low voice.

"What on earth did that female cultivator do to scare Palace Master Zhang like this?"

******

After this little episode, Anle walked into Ye Ling'er's room.

At this time, Ye Ling'er had already lit the oil lamp in the room, with a rather melancholy look on her face: "Junior brother, now that we have scared Zhang Haiyun like this, will he stop giving me delicious food?"

Anle nodded.

"What a pity. If I had known, I should have eaten more in the past two days."

Ye Ling'er bit a chicken leg fiercely, her face full of regret.

This is the spiritual food that Zhang Haiyun just delivered today, and it should be the last time.

Speaking of which, Ye Ling'er was able to recover to her "prime form" so quickly thanks to Zhang Haiyun's selfless dedication.

Anle roughly estimated that his senior sister had consumed at least hundreds of high-quality spirit stones in the past few days.

And with this "surprise", Zhang Haiyun may be left with a psychological trauma.

It can be said that stealing the chicken will lose the rice.

However, Anle did not sympathize with Zhang Haiyun at all.

From Jiang Junliang's case, we can also see that Zhang Haiyun has done many dirty things in the past.

"Come to think of it, Junior Brother, why aren't you afraid of me?"

Just then, Ye Ling'er suddenly asked curiously.

"Although it may sound strange for me to say this, my posture is still quite scary in the eyes of ordinary people, right?"

"I remember you acted very calm when we first met."

An Le was surprised: "So you know this, Senior Sister!"

In fact, Ye Ling'er thought that they were just meeting for the first time, and Anle had already seen her several times in the simulation, so she could naturally take it calmly.

Anle thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, appearance is not that important."

"I just need to know that Senior Sister treats me well sincerely, that's enough."

Ye Linger nodded: "I see..."

"But you really do like me better when I'm thin, right?"

"You looked at me much more often then than you do now."

Anle: "..."

He couldn't refute it for a moment.

"Hmph, man!"

Ye Linger snorted coldly and asked again: "Junior brother, now that the ban has been lifted, when will we return to Taixu Palace?"

When it comes to business, Anle's expression becomes serious: "Wait two more days, I still have some things to verify."

******

The next day.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Anle woke up from his practice on time. He first let out a long breath and restrained the restless spiritual energy in his body.

"After a day of hard training, I finally managed to solve the problem of breath leakage."

"The body has probably been strengthened by about 10% under the influence of spiritual energy, right?"

Feeling the indescribable subtle changes in his body, Anle said to himself.

From foundation building to golden elixir, the most significant transformation is the increase in the total amount and quality of spiritual power.

When building the foundation, the liquid spiritual power is just overflowing in the Dantian.

When it comes to the Golden Core Stage, most of the spiritual power is gathered into the Golden Core, and the spiritual power tempered in it will also become condensed and powerful.

When they flow through the meridians of a cultivator, they naturally have the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing the physique.

This is also why some golden elixirs do not refine their bodies, but their physical bodies are still far superior to those of low-level cultivators.
