Back in the community, the Cheng family villa was still bright from a distance, and not a single light was turned off, which was a bit abnormal. Although the Cheng family didn't care about the electricity bill, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have the habit of sleeping without turning off the lights.

Could it be that something happened?

I didn't have time to park the motorcycle in the garage and hurriedly ran to the hall, but I saw the bodyguards in the villa were all alert at their posts, indicating that nothing happened in the villa, and I was relieved.

When I walked into the hall, I found Cheng Xiaoyu asleep on the sofa. There was a children's channel on the TV opposite. I smiled. I knew Cheng Xiaoyu was waiting for me, otherwise she would have turned off the lights and gone to sleep.

A touch of emotion surged through my heart, and I suddenly felt that no matter how hard and tired I was, it was worth it. With a beauty like Cheng Xiaoyu worrying about my safety, what else could I be dissatisfied about?

I turned off the TV, walked up to Cheng Xiaoyu and pushed her, but she kept her eyes closed and showed no sign of waking up.

I shook my head, put my hand into Cheng Xiaoyu's arms, and picked her up in a princess hug. At this time, her eyelids moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

I knew it was Cheng Xiaoyu who woke up, but she didn't open her eyes, which meant she didn't resist my hug. I didn't say anything, so I carried her to the room and put her on the bed.

I smiled coquettishly and kissed Cheng Xiaoyu's forehead gently with my lips. At this moment, I could clearly feel her body trembling slightly. I knew it was because she was nervous.

Cheng Xiaoyu still didn't open her eyes. It seemed like she was going to continue pretending to sleep. In other words, she had acquiesced to my kiss. Does that mean that she would acquiesce if I did anything to her?

I thought evilly in my heart. Of course, this was just my own secret thought. Although I had known Cheng Xiaoyu for a short time, I knew her somewhat.

Cheng Xiaoyu is definitely not a casual girl. Even if she really likes me, she will not let me do whatever I want. Judging from her nervous look just now, she has already gone through a lot of psychological struggle if she let me kiss her.

I also know that you can’t be greedy and you have to be moderate in whatever you do, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

After covering Cheng Xiaoyu with a quilt, I exited Cheng Xiaoyu's bedroom, closed the door behind me, and then returned to my room.

I looked at the time and saw that it was already midnight. No wonder Cheng Xiaoyu was already asleep on the sofa.

Since I had already done some simple grooming in the girls' dormitory, I didn't take a shower again. For someone like me who is used to crawling around in the smelly mud of the woods, I didn't care so much.

I didn't just lie down on the bed to sleep. Instead, I sat cross-legged on the bed, closed my eyes and practiced my spiritual consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness is actually: when the spiritual power in the mind reaches a certain level, it will combine with the spiritual energy in the body to form a special energy, which is called spiritual consciousness. Spiritual consciousness is an ability that practitioners only have when their strength reaches a certain level.

. Only after spiritual consciousness is generated can one look inside. Only then can cultivators grasp the condition of their bodies, better control their bodies and develop their body's potential. As strength increases, spiritual consciousness will continue to grow.

Spiritual consciousness can not only see one's own body internally, but also externally see the wind and grass in the surrounding world. Of course, how far one can see depends on one's level of cultivation.

Of course, cultivating spiritual consciousness to the point of internal vision is infinitely more difficult than external examination!

My grandfather taught me this when I was a child, but he never allowed me to practice because I was too weak. He said he was afraid that I would go crazy if I forced myself to practice.

Grandpa has always been the most majestic person in my eyes. I didn't dare to disobey, let alone disobey. It wasn't until I joined the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group that I only tried to use the mental method once. Unexpectedly, I survived because I couldn't bear the operation.

The headache caused by the mental method made me unconscious for several days.

It was also because after this time, I firmly believed in what my grandfather said, and I no longer dared to engage in spiritual cultivation. Only now did I feel that I could give it a try.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, concentrating, and then started to work the mental method in my heart.

Just as I was reciting the method silently in my mind, my head began to hurt violently, as if it was being bitten by countless insects and ants, as if it was about to explode.

I gritted my teeth and persisted, sweat beads rolling down my forehead like beads, and I almost fainted many times.

"Persevere, don't give up. If you can't endure even this pain, how can you protect the people around you and whom you love?"

I encouraged myself in my heart and insisted on reciting the mental method silently, but even though my whole body was soaked with sweat, I still couldn't recite the mental method completely silently.

My head was in severe pain, almost bursting like a watermelon.

Suddenly, familiar faces appeared in my mind, including dead comrades, grandfather, Cheng Xiaoyu, parents, Lone Wolf, Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, Susan, Yang Chen, all the people I wanted to protect.

"Ah!" I growled, even for them, I have to persist. Only by improving my abilities can I prevent them from getting hurt or even leaving me.

I don’t know if it was because it was too painful. I felt that the night passed very slowly, but because I had the purpose of working hard in my heart, the pain seemed to be much lighter. I don’t know how long it took, and I practiced the spiritual method.

Finally it ran completely.

Once, twice, three times...

The heart-wrenching pain in my head slowly faded away, and the sweat on my body gradually disappeared. I clearly felt waves of warmth coming from my head, and the pain from the splitting headache slowly turned into comfort.

I know that this does not mean that I have succeeded. At best, it can only be said that I have entered into the cultivation of spiritual consciousness for the first time, but I am already satisfied.

Grandpa said that the most difficult step in cultivating spiritual consciousness is the first step. If you succeed, you can continue to practice. If you fail, you will end up going crazy.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn and I stopped practicing. This practice is just like eating and drinking. You can only do it slowly. After all, as the old saying goes, you can't chew more than you can chew.

Although the sweat on my body had dried, after all I had sweated so much, my whole body was sticky and very uncomfortable, so I had no choice but to take off my clothes and take a shower.

I haven't slept all night, but I feel more energetic than usual. It seems that practicing spiritual consciousness has played a role, but I don't know if it can replace sleeping.

After taking a bath, it was already dawn, which was early in this season. It was not time to have breakfast, and Cheng Xiaoyu hadn't gotten up yet, but the cooking aunt was already busy in the kitchen.

I went to the gym to exercise. Although I am not on the battlefield now, it is not necessarily more stable than on the battlefield. Naturally, I dare not relax in my skills. Otherwise, if one day I am unfamiliar with my skills, I will meet someone.
