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

The bright moon hangs high between the branches of the moon.

Yu Luoning sat on the bed with her legs crossed and her hands resting loosely on her knees.

She completed a full cycle of Qi circulation according to the "Qi Guiding Method".

When I opened my eyes again, my palms were slightly warm.

The spiritual power is truly within my body.

Unable to resist, she got up and prepared to try the teleportation technique again.

This technique is her ultimate weapon for survival.

It is essential to master this skill to add an extra layer of protection.

The Feng family's Sky-Crossing Technique is a beginner's version, but the system can complete it for her with a higher-level, full-fledged technique.

In theory, as long as one has enough spiritual power, one can tear through space and instantly switch places.

The only questions are: how far should the position be shifted, and can the landing point be chosen?

Yu Luoning was clear about this.

She took a deep breath and formed a mudra with her hands.

The next instant, the air seemed to be ripped open by an invisible knife, and a purple arc of light flashed suddenly.

Yu Luoning was overjoyed and stepped inside.

The next second, there was a loud crash.

She sank down, water poured into her mouth and nose from all directions, choking her until her vision went black, and she almost met her maker.

Yu Luoning struggled desperately, grabbing at anything, until she caught a slippery edge of the pool.

She then awkwardly propped herself up and coughed up a mouthful of water.

"Cough, cough... Oh my god..."

She wiped her face, about to curse, when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

This water... isn't cold.

It was even a little warm.

There was also a faint medicinal fragrance.

Yu Luoning slowly raised her head.

Then, she froze on the spot.

A boy sat in the hot spring opposite.

Her long, silver-white hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin was pale and cool, yet her eyes and brows were excessively gentle.

The clear pool water only reached his chest, with a faint red hue visible through it.

Above that are the clean and beautiful lines of her collarbone, shoulders, and neck, resembling jade carvings.

He was clearly startled; his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips were very pale.

Eyes facing each other.

The air was eerily quiet.

Yu Luoning's expression was blank.

It’s over.

She teleported to someone else's shower area.

And this person wasn't wearing any clothes.

Yu Luoning's throat tightened, and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

"I'm sorry... my spell failed."

The boy paused slightly, his voice also very soft:

"Where...did you come from?"

Yu Luoning: "It fell from...the sky."

"No, I mean... I'm practicing magic, and my spiritual energy is unstable..."

At this point, she seemed to remember something, and her expression changed.

The Li family's ancestral home has a protective array. The young master is in seclusion, and the array patterns may have affected the energy flow... It's not impossible that the spatial coordinates were skewed.

Yu Luoning felt increasingly guilty.

She explained:

"I really didn't mean to! I don't know you! And I didn't come to peep at you while you were showering!"

The boy in the pool didn't speak, lowered his eyes, and slowly sank.

The water level was above his chest, and the broken bones stopped at his jaw.

Yu Luoning: "..."

Well, her gaze had just been stubbornly fixed on the other person's chest and wouldn't leave.

Considering the boy's actions just now, it seems there's been a huge misunderstanding.

Does he think he's a pervert? Or a pervert who peeps at men showering?

Yu Luoning blushed instantly to the roots of her ears.

She dared not look any longer, and almost instinctively formed hand seals, forcing out the last wisp of spiritual power from her dantian.

With a flash of purple light, she forcibly tore open the spatial rift.

Damn it, run!

Yu Luoning practically tumbled and crawled inside.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll disappear right away."

The next instant, her figure completely disappeared into the mist.

The hot springs have returned to silence.

The boy blinked his long eyelashes, which were damp with moisture, and tilted his head to look in the direction where the crack was closing.

The water surface suddenly rippled slightly.

Something sank down, then was lifted up by the ripples, and shone faintly.

He reached out and scooped it up.

In her palm was a small earring that had rolled off her body.

The boy paused, his fingertips pausing.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Son of God!"

"I detected fluctuations in array patterns inside the building. Should I go in?"

The boy gathered the earring in his palm, his voice still gentle, without the slightest hint of emotion:

"It's alright."

"I was practicing martial arts."

The person outside the door visibly relaxed: "Yes."

The footsteps faded into the distance.

The pool water rippled gently, reflecting the boy's pale lips.

He lowered his eyes and slowly stroked the earring with his fingertips.

After escaping from the hot spring, Yu Luoning was completely soaked.

With her clothes clinging to her body, she gritted her teeth and cursed as she hurriedly changed into clean clothes and then used a towel to dry her hair until it was half dry.

Only after doing all this did I finally have time to review the situation.

How exactly do you choose the landing point for this aerial flight technique?

The first time I jumped into the spirit field.

He jumped to the murder scene a second time.

The third time... I jumped into someone else's bathhouse.

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, clenching her fists so tightly they cracked.

"Next time, are you going to just jump onto someone's bed?"

Yu Luoning sat on the edge of the couch, her mind racing.

The art of crossing the sky is a technique.

Every technique has its own rules.

It's impossible to rely on fate to send her to her death every time.

She thought about it, and an even worse guess popped into her mind.

Is it possible that she doesn't have a fixed orientation when casting spells, so the coordinates are random?

Or perhaps... the Li family's protective formation twisted the spatial coordinates?

Yu Luoning bit her lip and wrote down her guesses one by one on a piece of paper.

Once she has enough spiritual energy, she will definitely try to figure out the pattern.

She didn't want to fall into someone's bathtub out of thin air again.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Yu Xiaoguai! Open the door!"

Yu Luoning was startled, and her heart skipped a beat.

Who's looking for her so early?

She quickly went over and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the sunlight was blinding.

It was already early morning in the courtyard, and the light was bright.

Yu Luoning stood frozen in place.

She clearly remembered that it was late at night when she used the teleportation technique.

How come it's already dawn after I just came back?

How long has she been missing?

"Steward, please handle this impartially!" Chanyi's voice was shrill and rapid. "Yu Xiaoguai stole the young master's core cultivation technique!"

Yu Luoning snapped out of her daze, her wet hair still damp, and stood at the door, her eyes turning cold.

She didn't rush to defend herself, but simply glanced at Chanyi.

Chanyi was very pleased with herself and continued to fan the flames:

"How could a newly arrived maidservant have reached the first level of Qi Refining in just half a month?"

"She's been serving the young master these past few days, and he's been in seclusion. She must have stolen his cultivation technique while he was away!"

Another maid immediately chimed in, her tone filled with righteous indignation:

"Yes! The rules in the young master's courtyard are very strict, yet she has progressed so quickly. What else could it be but secretly learning?"

Li Keqing remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on Yu Luoning:

"Yu Xiaoguai, do you have something to say?"
