Chapter 504 The White-Haired Dream
The day's battle was too intense and exhausting. No matter how much romance or thought they had, it couldn't overcome their physical fatigue, and the two of them fell asleep without realizing it.

Their bodies recovered rapidly during sleep thanks to the effects of the medicine, but the two, whose souls had been stable for a long time and hadn't dreamed in a long time, both had dreams on this day.

Lu Xingzhou's dream was very positive.

Holding the little white-haired boy, I dream of him.

It's about continuing the kissing scene from before, adding further developments, such as how to peel off her blue and white sword armor, how to compare the color difference between her fair skin and hair, and how to study whether the fur in other places is also white.

Then they did unspeakable things.

That wasn't a dream; it was a true dream I'd always held in my heart.

Dugu Qingli's dream was more complicated.

The first image in her dream was Ye Tinglan's face close to hers, her pretty face turning into a large one, her eyes staring intently at her: "Seducing Master, I never imagined you were such a white-haired devil."

In the dream, the self protested: "An old cow eating young grass, knowing full well that she is the apprentice's friend, yet still getting together with her, how shameless!"

One kill.

An exasperated Ye Tinglan said, "No wonder it belongs to the demons."

One sentence struck a chord with Dugu Qingli, and the next moment the scene completely changed. Ye Tinglan's large face disappeared, replaced by the red eyes of the Ice Demon.

The Ice Demon's exact appearance remained unclear; only a狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) soul voice echoed in the sea of ​​souls: "You've come..."

Dugu Qingli did not reply.

"Why bother? You are me, and I am you. No matter how much you resist, you can't change that fact."

"I am not you, I am a human being."

"you are not."

“I am, I can feel the king’s sorrow, but you cannot.”

The Ice Demon sneered: "Pointless emotions are nothing more than the taint of worldly tribulations; they will naturally disappear in time."

Dugu Qingli said, "On the contrary, I didn't have it before, but at certain times, like now, I have it."

"Self-deception," the Ice Demon said. "If this proves you're human, then doesn't the murderous intent hidden within you prove you're a demon?"

Dugu Qingli's body trembled slightly in her sleep.

This was something that even her master and Lu Xingzhou failed to notice; the hidden rage within her heart was proof of the beginning of her demonic nature.

Anyone would think that this is a cold-hearted and indifferent girl, how could she be violent?
Only she herself knows that it truly exists. If there is another being in the world who knows this, it is the Ice Demon.

The little white-haired boy refused to accept this and continued to protest: "I can kiss men, can you?"

Ice Demon: "?"

Double kill.

The evil red eyes were finally dispelled, and it seemed that the Ice Demon was doubting Demon Life and was no longer able to argue with her.

Dugu Qingli was left all alone in the boundless darkness. She squatted down, hugging her knees, trembling slightly.

The demon's brutality and murderous intent...

I once longed to explore, always wanting to run towards the Frozen Moon River. But I just learned that the Ice Demon might be a formless being, and that I couldn't defeat him; it would be suicide.

So what should I do...

Lu Xingzhou's kind face appeared ahead, and he extended his hand to her: "I will help you."

Dugu Qingli looked up helplessly: "You're so weak too, you're useless."

“Dual cultivation can be upgraded.” As Lu Xingzhou spoke, he unbuckled his belt, and the fountain reappeared.

Enraged, Dugu Qingli drew her sword and chopped the thing in half. Lu Xingzhou screamed and disappeared.

Three kills.

The three scenes correspond to the three inner demons in Dugu Qingli's heart. The girl can be unrestrained in her dreams, but she cannot solve any of the three demons in reality.

For example, the third one, can you really chop it up?

Even in her dream, the problem wasn't completely resolved. The vanished Lu Xingzhou reappeared behind her, hugged her, and said in a greasy tone, "You cut it all off. Are you angrier now? Can I hug you now..."

Dugu Qingli struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, and stubbornly let him hold her.

Then I felt something behind me.

The scene immediately shifted, becoming a replay of what happened in the Danxia Secret Realm years ago: Lu Xingzhou was sitting in a wheelchair, and she was sitting on his lap, the wheelchair swaying and rolling forward...

At that time, there was something that made people dizzy. The feeling was very strange, and I didn't know why. When the wheelchair was about to reach the destination, I felt like I was about to collapse, as if I had ascended to heaven.

The girl still doesn't understand why. She actually wants to try again, but she's too embarrassed to ask.

This time, she dreamt about it, and the feeling was somewhat similar... The girl subconsciously made slight adjustments, trying to make it more fitting...

But it felt different; there was no bumping or shaking.

The girl subconsciously moved back a little, trying to find the ethereal feeling she once had, but she still couldn't find it.

Therefore, Lu Xingzhou is not a good Lu Xingzhou without a wheelchair.

The girl opened her eyes in disappointment.

Everything was pitch black; it wasn't the Danxia Secret Realm, but the Xuanshe Secret Realm. Yet, the feeling of being embraced from behind was so real, and the sensation of something pressing against my back was just as real.

But what are his hands doing?
Back then, when he was in a wheelchair, his hands were only wrapped around his waist. How come he's reaching upwards to grasp them now?

Dugu Qingli formed a sword with both hands and swung it behind her.

Fortunately, the movement first caused her elbow to hit Lu Xingzhou's ribs, instantly waking him up. He instinctively grabbed the girl's wrist: "Hey, hey, hey, what were you dreaming about? You can't do this!" Dugu Qingli struggled: "No matter what I dreamed about, shouldn't I cut you? You obediently cut me in my dream, why are you so disobedient in reality?"

"Why should I be obligated to cut you?"

"Who told you to treat me like that!"

Lu Xingzhou then remembered that he had gotten something on her face. He felt guilty but couldn't say anything. However, he couldn't let her cut him however she wanted, so he could only hold her tightly.

One held on tightly while the other struggled, creating an unexpected scene reminiscent of the jolting of a wheelchair. The more Dugu Qingli struggled, the weaker she became, and she began to pant: "Take...take your filthy things away..."

Lu Xingzhou: “?”

Then I remembered that this little white-haired creature's sensitivity was second to none. Could this be the origin of ice? Does it mean it easily melts into water?
"If you promise not to cut me, I'll take it off."

"No, I won't cut it anymore, please take it away..." The girl's voice became soft and sweet, as if she were humming through her nose.

Lu Xingzhou stepped back slightly, but reached out and turned her to her side, then leaned down and kissed her: "Let's see if you dare to cut me again."

Dugu Qingli stared blankly at the sky, her body already limp, powerless to resist the kiss.

After a moment, it suddenly twitched and then stopped moving.

Lu Xingzhou: “…”

No, you're a martial arts practitioner too?
An even more disgraceful person than Ayi has appeared.

There must be something wrong with this person's constitution, right? Something's not right.

Lu Xingzhou fell into thought, while Dugu Qingli seemed to snap out of her reverie. Looking at Lu Xingzhou pressing down on her, she whispered, "What... what do you mean by treating me like this..."

Lu Xingzhou also came to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed: "You... are too tempting..."

Dugu Qingli: "..."

Heaven have mercy on a girl who is usually called a monster, who is not only beautiful in a man's eyes, but also "too tempting" to resist. What must that feel like?

It can be said that Dugu Qingli's goodwill towards Lu Xingzhou stemmed largely from this.

Lu Xingzhou's expression was somewhat serious: "Don't you think there's something wrong with your body?"

Dugu Qingli was taken aback: "What?"

Lu Xingzhou considered for a moment and asked, "If you go weak at the touch of a man like that, what will you do in a fight?"

Dugu Qingli was puzzled: "I'm not weak when I fight you, it's just like this when we touch."

Lu Xingzhou thought back to when he held her before, she wasn't this sensitive. When he kissed her, she was soft but not this exaggerated. Could it be that it was that thing that was special?
To be honest, Ye Tinglan is quite sensitive. Is this a unique characteristic of their Tianyao Holy Land?

Actually, it has nothing to do with the Tianyao Holy Land. Yuan Muyu wasn't that outrageous. Ye Tinglan was simply moved by the feelings of a pure cultivator; it was less a physical issue and more a strong reaction of shame from within.

"You...give me a medical check-up?" Lu Xingzhou asked cautiously.

Dugu Qingli blushed, a rare sight for her: "You're already like this, why are you still trying to argue?"

"No, I'm an alchemist, I just want to check."

Dugu Qingli turned her head away: "You've been holding it in for so long."

The implication is that you should check it yourself; do I have to tell you to "come on"?
Lu Xingzhou understood and reached out to check without saying a word.

Dugu Qingli's face turned bright red.

Pressing down is one thing, but it's quite different from whether your hand is moving around or not.

Even Lu Xingzhou's hand was only resting on her lower abdomen, truly checking her physical condition.

Upon investigation, it was found that Little White Hair indeed had a special constitution. Just as it had been considered when the Grade 3 Breakthrough Pill was tailored for her, she was too cold and needed to be balanced. Once she became intimate with a man, the effect was particularly intense.

The premise is that she herself is willing to accept it; otherwise, it becomes a conflict between ice and fire, which will only hurt people.

Lu Xingzhou quickly diagnosed this factor and frowned slightly.

On the surface, it may seem like just a lewd matter, but in reality, there are deeper hidden dangers. Because judging from this development trend, it's really like a demonic iceberg.

In fact, it's fortunate that the accident happened back then, preventing her from becoming a true ice demon. Otherwise, she might have turned into an ice demon during the Breaking Sun phase, and it would have been too late to reverse it then. Her current state seems to be alright...

Lu Xingzhou pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Before you reach Huiyang, and even during the period when you break through Huiyang, it would be best if you stayed by my side."

Dugu Qingli said expressionlessly, "You make it sound like my master is inferior to you. Can't I ask her for help?"

"She's really not good at it; it's not a problem with her alchemy skills."

"You just want to take advantage of me."

"It's really not..."

"Really? Then when are you getting off me?"

Lu Xingzhou: “…”

I'm a little reluctant to part with it.

Dugu Qingli finally exerted her strength, arching Lu Xingzhou down and even kicking him: "You're pushing your luck! You're pushing your luck!"

Lu Xingzhou tried to grab it, but missed. The little white-haired boy's shadowless leg was fast enough; he kicked Lu Xingzhou's chest, bypassing his hand: "You think you can catch someone's foot with that little strength! Go and heal your wounds!"

Lu Xingzhou was kicked so hard he rolled over, and sat cross-legged to the side helplessly: "My injuries are almost healed, but yours are still much more serious."

"..." Dugu Qingli was speechless.

Everyone's injuries were about the same severity, and the treatments were about the same, so why was he always able to recover faster?
Frosty Sky and Frozen Moon is indeed not a good cultivation technique.
