Recognized by His Family, the True Young Master Went on a Killing Spree - Chapter 31:

Chapter 31: Cleansing the Marrow and Refining the Bones

Du Li stared at Qin Yang with her beautiful eyes and said suspiciously, “Are you really trying to help me improve my strength?”

Qin Yang nodded.

“Get on the bed first,” Qin Yang said.

Du Li immediately exploded in anger. This guy clearly had bad intentions. Without any hesitation, she turned to run, but Qin Yang reached out and grabbed her, tossing her onto the bed.

Despair filled Du Li’s face. She couldn’t resist him. His strength far surpassed hers. She closed her eyes and sighed, “Just… be gentle.”

Since she couldn’t resist, she could only endure.

At that moment, Qin Yang told her to lie down properly.

Du Li obediently lay flat on the bed. Suddenly, golden needles materialized in the air and, under Du Li’s astonished gaze, pierced into her body.

Her body trembled violently, and she let out a wailing scream like a ghost.

She stared at Qin Yang in disbelief. Did this guy enjoy such perverted things? Did he have to torture people before playing with them?

However, that thought only flashed briefly across her mind. In the next second, the pain nearly knocked her unconscious.

From Qin Yang’s perspective, Du Li’s entire body was transforming. Cleansing the marrow and refining the bones, forging the foundation of the Dao — this was the first step toward a complete rebirth. Once this process was complete, Du Li’s strength would undergo a monumental leap.

Qin Yang stood coldly at the side. This was Du Li’s opportunity; she had to endure it herself.

Du Li felt like she was going crazy. It was as if every inch of her flesh and bones was being scraped clean, as if a steel knife was shaving away all the impurities in her blood and bones.

At this moment, Du Li realized Qin Yang was truly helping her enhance her strength — it was the legendary cleansing of the marrow and refining of the bones.

This opportunity was unimaginably great.

If she succeeded, her strength would skyrocket, and in the future, she would reach unimaginable heights.

But it hurt so much.

Even with her firm will and strong endurance, she struggled to hold on.

When she seemed on the verge of losing consciousness, a voice echoed in her mind.

“Focus your mental strength and follow me,” Qin Yang instructed.

Du Li shuddered. She felt a spiritual force enter her mind, guiding her mental strength to move.

Instantly, she felt much better. The excruciating pain of cleansing the marrow and refining the bones became bearable.

Du Li was astonished. She realized that with the movement of her mental strength, her spirit itself was growing stronger.

Her entire being trembled.

Strengthening one’s mental power was even more difficult than cleansing the marrow and refining the bones — this was an even greater opportunity.

She felt overwhelmed. Qin Yang was giving her too much.

“Calm your mind,” Qin Yang’s voice sounded again.

Du Li steadied herself and focused on her body’s changes.

At that moment, a massive influx of true essence poured into her body.

“Follow the flow of my true essence,” Qin Yang instructed.

At this point, Du Li obeyed without question. She guided her internal energy to move in rhythm with Qin Yang’s true essence.

Soon, she was completely immersed.

Boom—

Before long, Du Li’s body trembled violently.

She felt a shackle inside her break open.

Her entire aura shifted from postnatal to innate. The bridge between heaven and earth was connected, and it was as if she underwent a fundamental metamorphosis.

Innate Realm?

She had advanced directly from a first-rate martial artist to the Innate Realm!

She was ecstatic and woke up from her cultivation state.

The world in her eyes had changed — everything was crystal clear. Even with her eyes closed, she could “see” her surroundings.

Moreover, her hearing was sharper, as if she could hear the sounds of all things.

This was the Innate Realm?

Feeling the surging power within her, Du Li was overjoyed.

She felt that with a flick of her hand, she could crush a first-rate martial artist.

No wonder Innate experts were called true dragons of the nine heavens.

Those not in the Innate Realm were mere ants.

Now she finally understood.

And to casually make her an Innate expert — just how strong was Qin Yang?

Du Li stared at Qin Yang, her eyes burning with battle intent. She wanted to test Qin Yang’s strength.

But Qin Yang looked nonchalant. He tossed her a set of clothes and said, “Go take a shower — you stink.”

Du Li blinked and suddenly realized she was covered in foul-smelling impurities expelled during the cleansing process.

She was astonished.

As a woman, she hadn’t expected her body to contain so many impurities.

Originally wanting to spar with Qin Yang, Du Li immediately wilted and hurried into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Du Li emerged from the bathroom, fully dressed, her eyes filled with battle spirit.

Without a word, she lunged at Qin Yang.

Qin Yang casually reached out.

Du Li felt a tremendous force envelop her, and she fell into Qin Yang’s arms, her powerful punch landing softly on him without effect.

Qin Yang took a deep breath against her, then commented, “Smells great.”

Du Li blushed. She looked up, just about to speak, when Qin Yang sealed her lips with a kiss.

Her eyes widened.

He even dared to use his tongue!

This damned man.

Soon, Du Li found herself responding clumsily.

Just as things were heating up, the phone rang.

Du Li snapped back to her senses and pushed Qin Yang away, her eyes regaining clarity.

Wiping the moisture from her lips, she said, “It’s time. Miss Su is off work.”

Qin Yang looked regretful.

If they didn’t have plans tonight, he would have devoured her today.

“Let’s go pick up Nuanyue,” Qin Yang said.

When they arrived at the company, Su Nuanyue was waiting.

Seeing Du Li and Qin Yang return together, Su Nuanyue’s expression turned a bit odd. She stared at Du Li’s lips and asked in surprise, “Du Li, why are your lips swollen?”

Du Li’s heart thudded.

This damned Qin Yang, he’d gnawed her lips until they were swollen.

Du Li was just about to explain when Su Nuanyue exclaimed again, “Du Li, your skin is so fair now! It looks like fine jade. What did you do?”

Su Nuanyue looked envious.

Du Li naturally understood her own changes. Cleansing the marrow and refining the bones — this was just one of the transformations.

“It’s thanks to Qin Yang. He helped me improve my strength. My physique changed, and my skin improved naturally. If you want, he can help you too,” Du Li said.

Su Nuanyue looked at Qin Yang with bright, expectant eyes.

Qin Yang pulled her into his arms and said, “That’s easy. Find some time in the next two days, and I’ll help you be reborn.”

“Okay!” Su Nuanyue beamed. “After the banquet tonight, I’ll have time. You can help me then.”

“No problem,” Qin Yang said.

But Du Li warned, “It’s very painful.”

Su Nuanyue gave them a strange look, clearly misunderstanding.

Du Li quickly explained, “Not what you’re thinking! The cleansing process is extremely painful. Don’t overthink it.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t hurt much — I’ll be gentle,” Qin Yang added.

Du Li glared at him. “Why didn’t you use a gentle method with me?”

Qin Yang replied seriously, “You’re a martial artist. Enduring the pain is good for you. Your mental strength has more than doubled.”

Du Li finally understood.

She had misunderstood Qin Yang’s good intentions.

“Forget it, I won’t argue with you,” Du Li said, looking a little embarrassed.

“Enough, let’s stop talking about it. Let’s get ready for tonight’s banquet. Qin Yang, you’ll come with me. Du Li, you can rest — you’ve just advanced,” Su Nuanyue said.

“Okay,” Du Li agreed readily.

With Qin Yang accompanying Su Nuanyue, she had nothing to worry about.
