Xue Rui was a little surprised but smiled mischievously at JingHua's remark and let out a small chuckle. To which Li XinWen became nonplussed as he was unsure what could have brought Xue Rui's behavior. But he welcomed the interaction between his sister and her fiancé squashing the thought that Li JingHua was aware of the indecent relationship between Xue Rui and himself.

By this time, Li XinWen's suspicion had already disappeared and believed that what he had seen before was just his imagination. He drank the chocolate milk and admitted to himself that he quite likes the sweet-tasting beverage. Although he still preferred spiritual wine over the brown colored liquid called chocolate milk. But alas, there was none to be had in this world where there are no cultivators and even the spiritual energies were scarce.

Xue Rui held Li JingHua's arms and planted a soft kiss on her cheek and gently pushed her aside as he approached Li XinWen. He squeezed the latter's arm as if to express some pent up desire.

"Then I shall excuse myself to allow you two to catch up," he said before turning towards Li JingHua who stood with a resigned expression on her face. "I'll be waiting outside until you are ready to leave, darling," he mischievously winked at Li JingHua on the last word before leaving the room and finally, Xue Rui nonchalantly closed the door behind him.

Li XinWen and Li JingHua took this opportunity to catch up with each other. They spent the remaining 2 hours of the hospital's visiting schedule exchanging stories and reminiscing about their childhood. After helping Li XinWen lie down comfortably, Li JingHua gave him a hug and said goodbye.

Although tired after the day's events and visitors, Li XinWen felt happy and light especially at the thought that his sister treasured him dearly. ‘It's been a good day,’ he thought.

Seeing that there was nothing to do and still wide awake, Li XinWen decided to try cultivating. Although the spiritual energy of this world was thin, as long as there was a minute amount in the surrounding area, he should be able to cultivate. But then there was the question of whether his mortal body would have the capacity to absorb the needed spiritual energy after suffering the accident. In addition, it has already passed the prime age of cultivation. But he had to try.

Li XinWen closed his eyes and used his rich experience to sense and guide the faint traces of spiritual energy towards his mortal body. To his delight, his mortal body started absorbing spiritual energy little by little.

"Amazing! Despite being injured, this mortal body still possessed the aptitude for cultivation!" Li XinWen expressed with a renewed sense of determination and ended up spending the entire night channeling and allowing his mortal body to absorb spiritual energy to build the foundation. Only once he finished building his foundation can he truly depart to the path of cultivation.
