After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 618: Gu Dongxing Gets Jealous
Mengyu sighed, “Hasn’t anyone noticed that their whole stomach is heating up?”
It was then that the people noticed that their stomachs were indeed hot. They initially thought it was due to the hot drinks they had consumed, which made their stomachs feel warm.
But now, pointed out by Mengyu, everyone noticed that this heat was a bit strange.
“Today’s clam meat had too much energy. I didn’t notice and cooked the whole clam. Everyone ate a bit too much and can’t digest it momentarily, which is why it hurts due to the heat.”
She then told Gu Minxing, “Quick, follow the cultivation technique I taught you to compress the energy into your Dantian.” Then she said to everyone else, “Everyone quickly start cultivating. If you don’t cultivate now, the energy will dissipate.”
Hearing Mengyu’s words, Cheng Jiuhe and Gu Dongxing exchanged a glance: Gu Minxing also cultivated.
Subsequently, nobody ate anymore; each person sat cross-legged and started to cultivate, absorbing the energy from the clam meat they had consumed.
That night, each of Mengyu’s disciples made a breakthrough to the next level.
Gu Dongxing wasn’t doing well, but Cheng Jiuhe was also breaking through to the Innate level—all thanks to the Yuan Nourishing Pill provided by Mengyu. After tonight, he had already reached the Martial Artist Peak.
However, breaking through to the Innate level was not easy, always feeling like missing something trivial.
Just as Mengyu wanted to give him a boost, Gu Dongxing had already fed Cheng Jiuhe a pill.
That very night, Cheng Jiuhe broke through to the Innate level!
Instead of thanking Gu Dongxing first, he bowed to Mengyu, “Thank you, cousin, for aiding me!”
He thought that the one who gave him the pill was Mengyu, because to his knowledge, only Mengyu had pills.
Little did he know, it was actually Gu Dongxing who was the wealthy one now.
Seeing Gu Dongxing’s dark expression, Mengyu covered her mouth and laughed, “The one who aided you was Brother Gu!”
Cheng Jiuhe replied, “Oh. Even if he has pills, aren’t they from you? So I thank only my dear cousin.”
Mengyu couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Seeing Mengyu so happy, Gu Dongxing thought to himself, let it be, as long as he saw Xiao Meng’s smiling face, it was worth it. Cheng Jiuhe attributing the credit to Xiao Meng was almost the same as attributing it to himself.
However, the next moment, Mengyu suddenly pulled Cheng Jiuhe outside and entered a vacant room, which made Gu Dongxing very uncomfortable.
After a good while, they hadn’t come out, and Gu Dongxing got angry and simply walked in.
Inside the room with only four walls, Cheng Jiuhe had his hand on Mengyu’s. Their hands, one facing up and the other facing down, were joined together.
His heart filled with silent fury, just as he was about to step forward and separate their hands, he saw a red and cyan light suddenly shooting from their joined hands.
Only then did he realize, Mengyu was testing Cheng Jiuhe’s spiritual roots.
He suddenly felt a bit ashamed: Cheng Jiuhe had once risked being expelled from the family to teach him ancient martial arts.
But after he started his immortal cultivation, he hadn’t shared any cultivation methods with him.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to share; the truth was, he had lots of cultivation resources, but he lacked even a test stone, let alone the cultivation methods.
He did not know whether Cheng Jiuhe had spiritual roots, nor what type they might be, so he didn’t dare let him cultivate rashly.
After all, Cheng Jiuhe was not young anymore.
Actually, bringing Cheng Jiuhe with him today, he had intended to ask Mengyu to test his spiritual roots for him.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Mengyu had already taken the initiative to do the testing.
“Brother, congratulations, you have Fire and Wood Dual Spiritual Roots, Fire Spirit Root value at 70, and Wood Spirit Root value at 85. Seeing that your Wood Spirit Root value is higher, why not cultivate the Wood Element Cultivation Method?”
“Impossible!” Gu Dongxing immediately walked in.
