Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

The boy smiled and said, "You're quite interesting."

Yu Luoning felt a sense of relief.

Is this acceptable? Not kill her?

Yu Luoning almost cried with joy: "It is my greatest honor to be able to make you find it interesting."

The boy lowered his head slightly, as if he were seriously thinking about something, and said in a light tone:

"Actually... I haven't said this much in a long time."

He tilted his head, the silk ribbon covering his eyes swaying gently in the wind, and said regretfully:

"You're a bit noisy."

"After thinking about it, I still prefer peace and quiet, so killing you would be better."

Yu Luoning: "..."

Yu Luoning bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said, "Young Master, how can your 37-degree lips utter such cold words?"

"What you call noise is actually a rare kind of human warmth. You've probably been away from human warmth for a long time and don't know what it's like here."

The boy tilted his head, seemingly thinking about her words very seriously.

Yu Luoning was heartbroken and said sincerely, "Look, you said you haven't said so much in a long time. What does that mean? It means that it's lonely at the top, and how lonely it is to be invincible."

She knelt a step away from the boy, tilted her snow-white neck back, pointed to her throat, and looked fearless:

"If you want to kill me, it's as simple as a swift stroke of the blade, a matter of a single breath."

"But have you ever thought about it? After you kill me, the world will be missing someone to chat with, someone to vent to, someone with a humorous, interesting, lovely, and charming soul."

"Think about it, if you keep me around, you can silence me if I'm too noisy, and let me jump around if I'm bored. Isn't that much more fun than a cold, lifeless corpse?"

The boy's gaze beneath the silk ribbon seemed to deepen, and after a long while, he said with considerable distress, "But I've never been a very patient person."

"Patience? Patience can be cultivated. I don't know if you've heard the saying, 'A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million.' I am, unfortunately, one in a million, an interesting soul. If you kill me, it's really hard to find another one like it."

The boy tilted his head slightly: "So..."

"Give me a chance. Let me stay by your side and follow your lead."

The boy moved.

Yu Luoning then belatedly realized that a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out on her back, and her clothes were sticking to her spine, feeling numb with cold.

She really did just barely escape death.

This young man in white is not easy to deal with.

After walking a few feet, he suddenly stopped and turned around.

With a flick of her long sleeves, her black hair, like ink-black satin, cascaded over her shoulders, the strands rising and falling gently with the movement.

He asked, "Aren't you going to keep up?"

Yu Luoning's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately got up and chased after him, smiling awkwardly:

"How could that be? Being able to stay by your side is the greatest fortune of my life. You didn't say anything just now, so I didn't dare to act rashly."

The boy's lips twitched slightly. "I liked how you were just now."

Yu Luoning was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Yes, you say it's noisy, but it's actually a kind of everyday life."

Is this because they want me to talk more?

Yu Luoning was confused and hesitated before asking, "So... do you want me to talk more... or talk less?"

A faint smile played on the boy's lips; his demeanor was as gentle and refined as the moon. He said, "Guess?"

Yu Luoning: "..."

Damn it! Go to hell.

Another day filled with anxiety.

/

Yu Luoning followed behind the white-haired boy. The boy's pace was neither fast nor slow, so following him was not difficult.

She had been busy all day and hadn't eaten yet. Jumping from one life-or-death situation to another, she was already exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Just then, the portrait of handsome men in her mind suddenly lit up, and a new page unfolded, showing a new man.

[Handsome Men's Guide - Lee Yun-wook]

[Copyable list]

【Meteor Fall: A rare purification skill, currently at: Intermediate】

【Draw a circle around yourself: A practical skill for this area, currently at the beginner level】

[Fusu Sword: A sword made of silk ribbons, with a black dragon entering the water; currently a Heavenly-grade spiritual weapon.]

【The Great Wilderness Silent Extinction Sutra: ???】

Yu Luoning could no longer walk.

Because I was so hungry.

The copyable skill that Li Yunyu unlocked is even more captivating than the page on Feng Qiguang.

Yu Luoning only glanced at the simple explanations before filling in the blanks in her mind.

It turned out that his sword was actually the silk ribbon covering his eyes.

want to!!

Who could possibly discover this weapon?!

She would tie it to her braid, making it look like an ordinary hair ribbon. With a flick of her wrist, she could catch the enemy off guard and deliver a fatal blow to their throat.

Ah, I want it so badly, I want it so badly!

Yu Luoning swallowed hard, her gaze sliding downwards again.

Meteor Fall: Purification

Purification?

Her eyes lit up.

Then, can the gold mark on her wrist be removed too?

The Feng family group most likely used it to track her down.

She was worried about how to hide her whereabouts.

Looking further down, the others are also ridiculously rare.

Yu Luoning felt a surge of excitement.

In that instant, she even felt a sense of lightness throughout her body, and her future seemed a little brighter.

As it was floating, it suddenly stopped in front of it.

Yu Luoning couldn't stop in time and crashed into it with a thud.

That fleeting joy instantly turned to terror. She quickly took a half-step back, bowed her head, and apologized, "I'm...I'm sorry, young master!"

Li Yunyu turned around, his eyes covered by a silk sash, his expression indifferent. He was puzzled:

Are you happy?

Yu Luoning was taken aback, and her palms felt cold.

Even with her eyes covered, the other person seemed to be able to see her.

"Is it obvious?" she asked cautiously.

Li Yunyu hummed in agreement.

Yu Luoning blinked, smiled brightly, and quickly said:

"Because I can accompany you, young master. You don't mind that I'm fat, and you even let me come along. I'm very happy..."

Li Yunyu paused slightly, lowered his eyes, and thought for a moment, "When a person lies, their heart beats faster than usual."

Your heart skipped a beat.

Yu Luoning: "..."

"Young master, a racing heart isn't only for when you're lying."

Li Yunyu paused slightly.

Yu Luoning raised her hand, pointed to her chest, and continued, "It could also be another situation."

"What?" he asked.

"When you like someone."

The white blindfold concealed Li Yunyu's emotions; he merely tilted his head slightly.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on the clear contours of his face, making his jawline appear even colder and sharper.

He didn't understand.

"You like me? Why?"

"We've only just met."

Yu Luoning: "..."

Brother, of course it's because I love your secret technique!

She was screaming internally, but still said aloud:

"Liking something... there aren't that many reasons why."

"The moment I saw you, I felt you were very special."

"Extremely powerful, extremely reliable."

"I feel very safe with you."

"I think this is fate that brought us together."
