Chapter 35: The Yang Energy
After Su Jinli absorbed the dark energy from inside Chen Tianxiao, she lost her consciousness and passed out.
Supporting Chen Tianxiao's body, Su Jinli turned to An Zhiyan and asked, "Should we help her onto the bed to rest for a while?"
Witnessing this scene, An Zhiyan was so shocked that he lost control over his facial expressions. He had a look of utter terror, but he managed to immediately respond, "Just leave her on the floor. What's the idea of putting her on the bed?"
The constantly scandalized artists often have a morbid obsession with purity. An Zhiyan happened to be the kind of person who would get bad publicity for days on end for simply yawning without covering his mouth, and it's something even the public relations team could not handle.
"Oh." With that, Su Jinli actually laid Chen Tianxiao directly on the floor.
"Are you okay?" An Zhiyan, having regained his composure, asked this very first question.
"Oh, I'm alright," Su Jinli replied, then proceeded to tidy up his clothes which had gotten a bit rumpled.
Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, An Zhiyan moved next to Su Jinli. He looked at Su Jinli's hands to confirm there were no injuries, then led Su Jinli to sit down in the living room.
"What happened? After you muttered some words, she simply fainted. How does that work?" An Zhiyan asked.
"Everything in this world divides into Yin and Yang. Inside a person, Yin and Yang gather up, inside the Niwan Palace..."
Su Jinli was interrupted mercilessly by An Zhiyan mid-explanation, "Get to the point."
"She's possessed," Su Jinli summarized briefly and clearly.
"Possessed? How did that happen?"
"The world encompasses..."
"The point!"
"Oh…" Su Jinli pondered for a moment. However, he insisted, "I still need to explain it this way. Don't rush me, or else you won't understand."
Seeing Su Jinli's serious teaching demeanor, An Zhiyan's mood somehow lightened. Instead of interrupting again, he let Su Jinli continue.
"Everyone's body encompasses both Yang and Yin energies. Men have a higher concentration of Yang energy, while women have a higher concentration of Yin energy. Therefore, men are considered Yang, and women Yin. If someone spends too much time in a place with a heavy Yin spirit presence, they will inhale the Yin energy, leading to an imbalance between Yin and Yang."
An Zhiyan nodded, "So then?"
"This woman, she likely spent time in a place where the Yin spirit was concentrated and was invaded by the Yin spirit. The Yin spirit can trigger human greed—for example, a person who loves money might become even more greedy, and the things they most care about would endlessly stimulate their desire."
"Mm," An Zhiyan responded.
"Then, she likely had long-term contact with you and was continually attracted to your strong Yang energy. After being invaded by the Yin spirit, she must have seen you again in a short time, which stimulated her mind and completely lost control," Su Jinli continued.
This time, An Zhiyan trusted what Su Jinli said.
Su Jinli didn't know Chen Tianxiao but had accurately described his long past interaction with her and meeting her recently.
It was amazing— he hadn't expected this kid to know something about these things.
"Go on," An Zhiyan prompted.
"That's it," Su Jinli replied.
The two men exchanged glances. An Zhiyan was puzzled while Su Jinli seemed content.
An Zhiyan still felt that he didn't understand everything.
Eventually, An Zhiyan asked, "What did you recite? Why did she suddenly faint?"
"It was a calming chant that drew away the Yin spirit energy from her. With no lifeforce support left in her body, it was too much for her to bear, so she fainted. Once her body recalibrates, she will wake up naturally."
An Zhiyan was utterly confused by all these foreign terms. After nodding his head, he tried his best to digest all this information.
"Why do you know all this stuff? Did you learn it in private school?" An Zhiyan continued his line of questioning.
"My grandfather taught me," Su Jinli replied.
An Zhiyan had heard about things like feng shui and divination before, but only in passing as idle entertainment.
Now, with Su Jinli speaking so seriously and correctly about certain things, An Zhiyan couldn't help but be astonished.
"What do you mean by my strong Yang energy?" An Zhiyan picked up on this point.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid the truth any longer, Su Jinli explained: "Actually, your Yang energy is very strong, which inexplicably attracts others, especially those with some Yin shades in their bodies. It could even lead them to extremes leading to some bizarre behaviors.”
"How do you know my Yang energy is strong?" An Zhiyan seemed to have found a clue about himself and immediately asked.
"Because there is an imbalance of Yin and Yang in my body, I feel fear when I come into contact with you."
Seemingly to test this, An Zhiyan purposely reached out and grasped Su Jinli's hand. Su Jinli was retreating bit by bit, but An Zhiyan would not let go.
He seemed quite fond of this kind of mischievous behavior, smiling in amusement as he asked Su Jinli, "How afraid are you?"
"Enough... enough to want to beat you," Su Jinli retorted gruffly.
An Zhiyan let go of Su Jinli's hand, nodding in acknowledgment.
He had thousands of questions he wanted to ask now, but for a moment, he couldn't think of where to start.
After a moment of thought, he tried to clear his mind and asked, "I always inexplicably attract others because my Yang energy is abundant. Similarly, are you afraid of me because my Yang Energy is abundant?"
"Yes."
"If my Yang energy returns to normal, won't these problems be resolved, and won't you be afraid of me anymore?"
"Yes, that's true."
"Then, will you like me?"
"Huh?" Su Jinli was confused by this unexpected question.
An Zhiyan had just been testing the waters, but seeing Su Jinli's puzzled expression, he could only try to explain: "Like you being a fan of Shen Cheng, will you like me?"
"Oh, no, I won't." Su Jinli directly rejected the idea. He wouldn't like An Zhiyan; he only liked Shen Cheng because Shen Cheng was his brother.
This was a direct hit to An Zhiyan's heart.
An Zhiyan held a hand over his chest, getting a straightforward answer: Su Jinli was frank.
Although he had anticipated this answer, he was still hurt by Su Jinli's unhesitant response and needed some time to recover.
It turned out that without the influence of Yang energy, he wasn't that likable.
He continued with a somewhat resigned tone, "Is there a way to control my Yang energy?"
"Actually, having strong Yang energy isn't a bad thing. It's a sign of good health and strong reproductive abilities."
"......"
"With such strong Yang energy as yours, if you were in our family, you could sire quite a few offspring."
An Zhiyan immediately waved his hand: "I don't want children. Just tell me how to control it."
"There is a way, but you can't just purge it all at once. Otherwise, your body won't be able to handle it, and you could collapse. The Yin and Yang energies can also support a person, just like when I extract the Yin shade from a person, they faint."
"For how long would they faint?"
"Probably for a little over a day. Even after waking up, it would take over a month to fully recover."
An Zhiyan was very busy now and didn't have time to rest. He was even somewhat avaricious, wanting to be able to control his Yang energy at will, use it to achieve his desires, and avoid trouble at the same time.
However, this was obviously impossible.
Comparatively, he would rather return to normal.
"How do I resolve this?" An Zhiyan asked again.
Su Jinli raised his hand and extended his index finger alone: "Follow me."
"Okay." An Zhiyan also raised his hand and extended his index finger. Su Jinli aligned the tip of his index finger with An Zhiyan's.
"Is this all it takes?" An Zhiyan looked at their fingertips, asking incredulously.
"Yes, I am absorbing your Yang energy now. Can you feel it?"
An Zhiyan felt like he was being tricked.
He silently sensed for a while then shook his head: "I feel nothing at all."
"You probably have too much Yang energy. If a little is taken away, you won't notice," Su Jinli finished speaking and grasped An Zhiyan's hand again.
Su Jinli's body was cool, almost without temperature, which startled An Zhiyan subconsciously.
After holding hands for a while, Su Jinli asked again, "Did you feel it this time? Any sense of anxiety?"
An Zhiyan shook his head again.
This was the way that the monsters Su Jinli knew of absorbed human Yang energy; why wasn't it working?
When a human's Yang energy is drawn out, they should instantly feel a chill in their body and experience shortness of breath.
"Don't I see all those characters like Nie Xiaoqian absorbing Yang energy in the stories? Why is your method of absorbing Yang energy so platonic?" An Zhiyan couldn't help teasing Su Jinli.
Su Jinli must be the first koi spirit to be laughed at by a human for not being effective at absorbing Yang energy.
In a wronged response, Su Jinli said, "But I can't do that. I'm a boy."
"Boys can do it too."
"Are you stupid? How can a boy do this?" Su Jinli raised his hand and knocked An Zhiyan's forehead. An Zhiyan glared at him and Su Jinli immediately retracted his hand.
An Zhiyan was leaning against the sofa, he asked again, "So I can control my Yang energy, but you can't help because you're not a girl. Does that mean once I fall in love and become sexually active, it will get better?"
"Yes, it will. The strong presence of your Yang energy might be because you've been holding it in for a long time."
"..."
"However, the Yang energy of An Zhihan is much lighter than yours."
"..."
"Moreover, your body is inherently a full vessel where the Yin and Yang energies circulate ceaselessly. Thus, your Yang energy just needs some time to recover. Even if I were to extract your Yang energy, it will regenerate naturally, which would only grant you temporary relief."
An Zhiyan frowned in response, "So there's no ultimate cure for this? Does it require continuous intimate activity to improve?"
"Theoretically, yes."
"Theory?"
"If your partner's Yin and Yang energy is imbalanced, it won't lessen your Yang energy. In fact, it might increase. You should find a girl who is skilled in this method."
"What on Earth are we talking about... Can you do it? The method, I mean."
"It would be no good even if I could, I'm a boy remember!"
An Zhiyan wasn't too fond of this method so he probed further, "Are there any other ways?"
"There are, but I don't know them."
"Could your grandfather do it?"
"He's extremely skilled, he surely could. But he doesn't like meeting with outsiders."
"I can pay a consultation fee, you can name your price." An Zhiyan seemed quite generous.
However, Su Jinli still shook his head, "I fear it might not be possible. But next time I go up the mountain, I can ask my grandfather for you."
"That'll work. Anyway, why are you here?"
"Oh, Zhihan's dating three girls, and they invited him over to chat."
Upon hearing this, An Zhiyan instantly raised his voice, angrily asking, "What in the world?"

Author's Notes:
In the future, An Zhiyan would take quite a liking to this troublesome method of controlling his Yang energy.
[Smiles]
[An Zhiyan is a tough talker with a soft heart, Chen Tianxiao will just lay on the floor for a while]
[Yes, today in the third chapter Little Jinli was found by big brother]
[Suddenly eerie? Hmm… The thing is An Zhiyan is a Yang-energy man, it will be dealt with later. The ultimate control method is an non-platonic suction (dual cultivation) method! That's my motivation to write this book!!!!!]
[When will the dual cultivation happen? Hmmmm… (Looks far into the distance)]
