Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 165 It's all for Qingli... (First update!)

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que frowned immediately. This ghost bride was actually trying to steal his boyfriend right in front of him?

Without hesitation, he immediately pulled Niannu behind him and said, "I disagree!"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Que opened the Soul-Nourishing Bag and put Nian Nu inside.

Ignoring the ghost bride's reaction, he turned and walked towards the house on the mountainside.

Soon, Zheng Que returned to his room and glanced at the bedroom, which was furnished like a bridal chamber. The room, decorated entirely in bright red, was empty; Ku Lan had not yet returned.

Zheng Que casually closed the door, opened the soul-nurturing bag, and released Nian Nu again.

Niannu appeared here, glanced around, and immediately greeted Zheng Que respectfully, "My lord!"

Zheng Que nodded slightly, and then said in a serious tone, "Niannu, Qingli has been trapped in the Soul-Summoning Banner for several days now. Do you want to rescue her?"

Upon hearing this, Niannu replied without hesitation, "Yes!"

Zheng Que sighed, feigning a worried expression, and said slowly, "There is only one way to rescue Qing Li from the Soul-Summoning Banner: I can control the Soul-Summoning Banner."

"These past few days, I have worked day and night, studying diligently, making many sacrifices, and paying a huge price, and finally I have found a way to control the soul-summoning banner."

"Unfortunately, my current cultivation level is not high enough. This method requires the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining to be used."

Hearing this, Niannu asked thoughtfully, "My lord, do you mean to find another cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining?"

Should we find another cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining?

Find a hammer!

Zheng Que coughed lightly and continued, "This method can only be used by myself. It's useless for other cultivators, even if they have reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Fortunately, I have now obtained a cultivation technique called the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record], which can quickly improve my cultivation strength."

"If I cultivate this technique, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I can raise my cultivation level to the seventh level of Qi Refining within a few days."

"When the time comes, rescuing Qingli will be a piece of cake."

"only……"

At this point, Zheng Que deliberately paused, and Nian Nu, who was listening attentively beside him, quickly asked, "My lord, but what?"

Zheng Que replied with a troubled expression, "However, this is a dual cultivation technique. I can't cultivate it alone. I need a female ghost to cultivate with me..."

At this point, Zheng Que's eyes gleamed as he locked onto Nian Nu.

Niannu was slightly taken aback, but quickly fell for it and volunteered, "My lord, this servant can cultivate with you!"

"I'm willing to do anything to help Lady Qingli." Hearing this answer, Zheng Que was very satisfied, but he still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor: "Niannu, you're right!"

"I'm willing to do anything to help Qingli."

"As a righteous cultivator, I would normally not even bother to look at such unorthodox techniques, let alone practice them. But for Qingli's sake, I have no choice."

"Ugh……"

"In that case, let's take off our clothes first!"

As he spoke, Zheng Que skillfully and quickly took off his outer robe and top.

Niannu didn't notice anything amiss and began to undress. Underneath her pink short jacket was a pale yellow undergarment, the fabric as thin as a cicada's wing, clinging tightly to her curvaceous body like a uniquely shaped petal, supporting her graceful figure.

As her colorful skirt fell silently, she raised her hand to remove the hairpins from her hair, revealing her long, flowing black hair that cascaded down to her waist, making her slender figure even more graceful and charming.

The wedding candles on the table burned quietly. In the interplay of light and shadow, Niannu's brows were shy, her black hair was like clouds, and her pale body was like a jade sculpture, tinged with a faint pink in the candlelight, making her incomparably charming.

Looking at Niannu's graceful figure, Zheng Que nodded with great satisfaction.

It has to be said that the fact that her ghost servants were all of the best physique and appearance was a major reason why the ghost bride had chosen them...

At this moment, Niannu had almost finished undressing. Looking at Zheng Que, she suddenly felt a little shy: "M-Master, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que snapped out of his daze and replied in a serious tone, "Niannu, the cultivation technique I practice has many intricacies. You must strictly cooperate with me in order to succeed in cultivating it."

At this point, he immediately pointed to the window next to him and continued, "Now, go and lie down by the window."

"Also, since you're a woman hanging yourself, you need to put on the rope as well."

"However, you don't need to hang yourself with the rope. Just let me hold the other end of the rope in my hand..."

Niannu found this request very strange, but she was not a cultivator and knew nothing about cultivators' techniques. Upon hearing this, she assumed that all cultivators' techniques were so special.

So she immediately followed Zheng Que's instructions, walked to the window, put her hands on the windowsill, and a thick hemp rope appeared around her neck. One end of the rope was tightly wrapped around her neck, and the other end did not extend into the air, but hung down her back along with her long hair.

The girl's slender figure was like a lily in the wind. [283 characters censored]

Zheng Que [29 characters in harmony] said, "We're helping Qing Li get out of trouble, not doing anything shady. There's no need to be so secretive!"

"However, Qingli really must not know about this."

"If Qingli finds out that we made such a great sacrifice to rescue her, she will definitely not feel good."

"So, in order to rescue Qingli more successfully, we just need to keep doing our best quietly, like we are now..."
