Chapter 297 Tender Feelings
Bai Lingling slowly emerged from the water.

Her face flushed, and she exhaled bubbles as she gurgled in the water, too shy to look at him any longer.
"This child is young and vigorous; it's normal for him to act like this while asleep."

"Huh?" Duanmu Jing's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Had the Dragon Ancestor not noticed what was happening inside her soul sea?
A thought suddenly occurred to her that perhaps it was because of her deep blood relation with Flor that she was able to vaguely glimpse the interior of the Underworld.

"It was I who misunderstood you."

Bai Lingling turned around and looked at him, her face flushed as she whispered, "If you really want to help Xiao Su heal her injuries, should I leave for a while?"

Duanmu Jing pursed her lips and gently shook her head. "With you here, things are actually much more convenient."

"Can I help?"

"Um"

Duanmu Jing suppressed the trembling in her heart and spoke calmly, "I originally intended to first use three ancient mystical arts to calm the chaotic energy in Cheng'er's body, and then use the spiritual pool to cleanse his body."

But now, with the Dragon Ancestor's help, many tedious procedures can be avoided, allowing for direct, hands-on involvement.

Upon hearing that it concerned Su Cheng's safety, Bai Lingling blinked her beautiful eyes, her expression immediately becoming more focused: "What should we do?"

"."

Duanmu Jing looked slightly embarrassed and whispered a few words in a secret voice.

Bai Lingling's bright eyes widened suddenly, and her porcelain-white face instantly turned burning red.

"This"

"If Miss Bai feels uncomfortable, there's no need to force myself. I will continue to use my mystical arts."

"It's alright."

Bai Lingling suddenly interrupted with a soft murmur, and as her thoughts drifted, a hint of tenderness appeared in her gaze as she glanced at Su Cheng.

“Those little girls are all still asleep. As an elder, it is my duty to take better care of them.”

Duanmu Jing felt a slight tremor in her heart and couldn't help but seem to be deep in thought.

"call"

Bai Lingling slowly moved closer in the spirit pool and gently leaned against Su Cheng's side.

Her delicate, exquisitely beautiful face flushed crimson, as if she were drunk, and her slender fingers trembled slightly as she hesitated for a moment.

"Dragon Ancestor, have you ever dabbled in this art?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Jing's soft question, Bai Lingling, not wanting to appear too weak, instinctively responded.

But in reality, she only remembered what Su Cheng and his group did during those few days in the Dragon Pool.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to simply imitate what Shi Xuan had done.

"."

Duanmu Jing glanced at him briefly and knew that this Yuan Tian Dragon Ancestor was as naive and ignorant as he appeared.

But if it were me, I'd probably be just as bad, at best only able to follow those ancient secret techniques.
She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and made the hand seal again.

I may be shy, but I need to be more focused now that I'm thinking about Cheng'er's health.
"call"

In his half-dreaming, half-awake state, Su Cheng felt as if he were deeply immersed in a gentle embrace.

Xiao Fu seemed to be struggling with something inexplicably, and it took a lot of effort to subdue her again.

But that lingering, blissful feeling never faded, leaving one feeling incredibly warm and comforted.

"Bad guy."

Flora gently wrapped her arms around his neck, her flushed face nestled against his ear: "Let's leave it at that for today. I'll come back to see you when I emerge from seclusion."

After a few reluctant moments of lingering intimacy, the realm of the underworld gradually dissipated like a dream.

"."

Su Cheng had just opened his eyes and woken up when he suddenly gasped for breath.

"Xiao Su, what's wrong?"

A soft, sweet voice suddenly sounded in her ear. "Are you feeling unwell, or...?"

"Lingling?" His face twitched slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to look.

The petite dragon girl was nestled against his shoulder, her porcelain-white face tilted upwards, filled with worry.

She was completely submerged in water, her white gauze almost transparent, and her flawless, snow-white body made Su Cheng pause in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?"

His heart skipped a beat, and his gaze abruptly shifted forward.

Duanmu Jing was now wrapped tightly in a bath towel. Although her mature and beautiful face was solemn, there was a hint of allure in her eyes.

"Xiao Su, don't panic. We are just helping you regulate your Qi and cultivate."

Bai Lingling leaned close to her ear and said softly, "Although it may seem a bit improper, I've examined it carefully, and it's definitely beneficial to your health."

Is there really such a method of conditioning?

Su Cheng was speechless for a moment, then suddenly felt a warm sensation flowing through his body, as if a mist was circulating within him.

[Total absorption of pure spiritual energy: 7,000 years] [Dark Domain Mystic Energy: 500 years] [Evil Spiritual Energy: 1,000 years]

[Spiritual energy reserves have exceeded the limit]

[Undergoing rigorous nourishment and purification by the 'Heavenly Heart Mystery Seeking Heart Method,' excessive spiritual energy is gradually integrating into the meridians and dantian.] [Cultivation accelerating.]

Is it true?

Su Cheng felt a little relieved and couldn't help but look at the petite dragon girl in his arms, her eyes filled with shyness.

"Xiao Su." Meeting that burning gaze, Bai Lingling's cheeks flushed red: "Don't let your mind wander. Right now, cultivating and nourishing your body is the most important thing."

At this point, she gently bit her cherry lips and raised her endearing, delicate gaze.

"If you feel unwell, I..."

".No problem."

Su Cheng's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Ling Ling's actions were not inappropriate."

"Yes?"

Bai Lingling's ears turned bright red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a gentle, reassuring feeling unconsciously spread across her eyes.

"Xiao Su, close your eyes and relax. Miss Duanmu just said it will take another half an hour."

After a while——

The commotion in the spirit pool gradually subsided.

Su Cheng embraced the petite woman who was fast asleep on his shoulder and chuckled to himself.

Unexpectedly, after half an hour, she was the one who got so tired that she fell asleep first.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that Bai Lingling had been taking care of me for so long, which made me feel a little sorry for her.
"You child, your physique is truly terrifyingly strong."

Duanmu Jing had already removed the surrounding mystical array seals, her mature and charming face still flushed with shyness, and her gaze was full of tenderness.

"Take Miss Bai back to her room and let her rest for two days. I will handle any trivial matters that may arise outside."

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Duanmu."

Su Cheng's eyes met hers, and the two fell silent abruptly, a subtle atmosphere inexplicably rising between them amidst the mist.

"You go out first, I'll come out later."

Duanmu Jing blushed and gently covered the high collar of her dress, saying softly, "This outfit of mine is really inconvenient."

"Thank you, senior."

"Hmm," Duanmu Jing nodded in response, when Su Cheng suddenly stood up from the pool with a splash.

Her eyes were startled by his muscular physique. She hurriedly turned her head away to avoid his gaze, blushing and secretly spitting.

But seeing that Su Cheng had already left quickly, she couldn't help but press her pounding heart and smile gently.

"This child is indeed completely different from when he was little."

The celestial court was shrouded in white mist, serene and tranquil.

Following Duanmu Jing's directions, Su Cheng carried Bai Lingling along the jade corridor and soon found a place to rest.

The palace, carved from white jade, seems to sit on the clouds, surrounded by spiritual energy, truly magnificent and otherworldly.

"Senior, I'll take my leave for now."

Su Cheng looked back and saw a graceful and elegant figure reflected in his eyes.

"Hmm~"

Duanmu Jing gently tucked her hair back and smiled sweetly, "Take good care of these maids. If you need anything, just call me."

After parting ways, Su Cheng watched her gracefully depart before pushing open the door and entering his bedchamber.

His gaze swept over and saw that Wen Qimeng and the others were all lying peacefully on the luxurious jade bed, still fast asleep.

"."

Su Cheng looked on with emotion and gently placed Bai Lingling on the bed.

He casually brushed the bangs from the puppet's forehead and lowered his head to plant a kiss on her brow.

"Bad guy."

The jade hairpin beside the pillow shimmered slightly, and a soft, slightly reproachful, weary voice echoed in my mind: "You came back so late."

"There was a slight delay due to an unexpected event."

"Hmph, it's obvious what happened."

The jade hairpin shimmered, and Shi Xuan's ethereal figure quietly appeared. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, nestling softly into his embrace.

She blinked her icy eyes, scrutinizing him closely. "You look much more energetic?"

"Yes." Su Cheng put his arm around her slender waist and lowered his voice, "Thanks to the help of the seniors, I'm about 70 or 80 percent better now."

Seeing that his complexion had returned to normal, Shi Xuan's expression relaxed slightly.

"It's good that you're alright."

"This place is very safe, we can stay here for a few days without worry."

Su Cheng said softly, "You weren't asleep at all?"

"I can't sleep well without you by my side."

The girl suddenly stopped speaking, as if she felt that her words were somewhat ambiguous and embarrassing, and her cool and elegant face blushed slightly.

But when she looked up at Su Cheng, she felt a strange tightness in her chest, and gently pinched his waist twice in a coquettish manner.

"You've been surrounded by beautiful women these past few days, you must be having a very comfortable time."

Shi Xuan's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but tiptoe and tilt his head back to gently touch her.

"I do get jealous sometimes too."
