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

At this moment, Yu Luoning grabbed Lu Wanying's arm and held it tightly, saying:

"Miss Lu is right! That's why I'm sticking to you so tightly, isn't it? If there's any danger, I'll definitely put you first!"

Lu Wanying tried to shake him off in disgust, but Yu Luoning held her tightly.

I was so angry I almost laughed.

Li Yunyu walked ahead, slowed his pace, and uttered a cold, clear sentence:

"Keep up."

Lu Wanying's face lit up with joy, thinking that Li Yunyu was concerned about her. She was about to respond shyly when she heard Li Yunyu continue:

"Little one, watch where you're going."

Yu Luoning: "Yes, young master."

The three continued on their way, and the passageway gradually widened.

Lu Wanying was extremely anxious. This was a rare opportunity, and if she missed it, she didn't know when the next one would come.

But that wretched maid was always on guard against her.

She's like a piece of dog skin plaster lying across the middle; we guard against her more than we guard against thieves!

The three continued onward, and suddenly their view opened up, revealing a dark, silvery-blue river that blocked their path. The water was as deep as ink, exuding a chilling stillness.

Lu Wanying's eyes hardened slightly as she frantically called upon the system in her mind.

"System, I need to borrow the Black Shark."

The system reacted incredulously: "[You already owe me two points, your credit limit is maxed out, and you still want to borrow?]"

"Enough nonsense! If we can't subdue Li Yunyu, how will we get a gifted child to pay off our debt? This maid is getting in the way the whole time. You release the black shark to kill her, and then I'll take advantage of the chaos to give Li Yunyu the Extreme Pleasure Powder. When the effects take hold, everything will fall into place, won't it?"

The system hesitated for a moment,

Lu Wanying continued, "It's just a loan. I'll pay you back the points I owe you after I give birth."

The system reluctantly agreed in the end.

The calm water surface erupted with a loud crash the next moment.

A giant python covered in black scales burst out of the water, its blood-red pupils fixed on the three of them.

"Young Master Li!" Lu Wanying exclaimed, shrinking behind Li Yunyu. "I never imagined this underground river would harbor a black dragon. How terrifying! What should we do now?"

Yu Luoning's scalp tingled. They didn't have any spiritual power right now, so how could they fight this thing to the death with their physical bodies?

So Yu Luoning suggested, "Why don't we take a detour? Our lives are the most important thing!"

Lu Wanying ignored her and gave the system a look that signaled to control the black shark.

As if receiving a command, the black shark ignored Li Yunyu, who was closest to it, and instead turned its head and headed towards Yu Luoning!

Yu Luoning never expected that the giant python would actually run ashore and even have murderous intent towards her.

Just as she was about to summon the Star Moon Sword from between her brows, Li Yunyu made his move.

He darted forward, his movements so fast they left afterimages, and even without spiritual power, he managed to swing his longsword and force the beast back.

Seeing this, Lu Wanying was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth. She pretended to step forward to help.

The two people and the snake immediately started fighting.

As Li Yunyu pierced the snake's vital spot with his sword, Lu Wanying steeled her heart and unleashed her trump card.

Sprinkle the Extreme Joy Powder onto the black shark's inner core.

With a burst of inner core, colorless and odorless Extreme Joy spread over the two of them.

Yu Luoning was a little far away and was not affected.

Li Yunyu's brow twitched slightly, as if he had sensed something.

The next moment, he held his breath, but still inhaled a small amount of the aura emitted by the exploding inner core.

Lu Wanying collapsed to the ground, her once innocent face flushed crimson.

"This...this snake pill is strange...I...my whole body is burning up..."

"Young Master Li...it is said that the Mermaid Elixir has an extremely strong aphrodisiac effect..."

"If you don't want to die, sit down and meditate."

Li Yunyu interrupted her with a cold voice, his knuckles gripping the sword hilt turning white, and even the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

It is clear that the toxin is taking effect.

Lu Wanying pretended to regulate her breathing, and after a moment, clutching her chest, she said with difficulty, "It didn't work? Young Master Li, what should we do? Could it be that this poison can only be completely cured by balancing Yin and Yang...?"

Yu Luoning was stunned.

Seriously? This cliché plot actually happened?

"etc!"

Yu Luoning immediately spoke up, stepping between the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanying scoffed coldly, tearing off her hypocritical mask, and said sarcastically, "Miss Yu, you are nothing but a maid. What right do you have to make decisions for your master? If the poison cannot be cured now, Young Master Li's cultivation will be completely destroyed. Can you bear the responsibility?"

"Besides, for those who cultivate, chastity is not that important. I am not an inflexible person either. Today I am only doing this to detoxify, and I will never make things difficult for you afterwards."

Yu Luoning: "Isn't there any other way to solve this?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Lu Wanying's eyes. This Extreme Pleasure Powder was something she had extracted from the system; it wasn't an ordinary love poison that could be overcome by sheer willpower.

After it's done, she'll use the Baby Pill to conceive a healthy baby, which will then nourish her barren spiritual roots.

Anyone who dares to block the way will die.

Li Yunyu was sitting cross-legged at this moment, and an abnormal blush appeared on his handsome and flawless face, which was as beautiful as a god.

Yu Luoning also noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Young master, can you still hold on?"

Li Yunyu's brows were furrowed, but his eyes were terrifyingly clear.

"I'm fine. Go find someone to detoxify Miss Lu."

Lu Wanying stared wide-eyed at Li Yunyu in disbelief.

A moment later, she sneered inwardly.

There were only the three of them here; there were no other men.

Let's see who can endure it the longest.

The man in front of me was just putting on a brave face.

She didn't believe Li Yunyu could persevere.

Lu Wanying's eyes were filled with a pitiful look: "Young Master Li, Wanying doesn't have any improper thoughts about you, but this love poison is not simple. I feel like it's about to explode. My meridians are constantly being attacked, and I'm afraid that if I don't get rid of the poison soon, my cultivation will be completely destroyed, and my life will be in danger. I don't mind, so why do you care, Young Master Li?"

Li Yunyu remained silent, focusing solely on meditation and regulating his breathing.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Lu Wanying couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Ignoring Yu Luoning's presence, he half-undressed and approached Li Yunyu step by step.

With the beauty so close, she didn't believe Li Yunyu could resist.

Yu Luoning silently called out to the system in his mind.

Her system was in a fight, and she didn't know where she was.

I'm anxious to death.

Could it be that Lu Wanying's wish has really come true?

She had already seen through the other party's intentions; perhaps the aphrodisiac was designed by them.

Time passed second by second.

Suddenly, Yu Luoning's gaze swept across the blue-silver river surface and he spotted a male merman peeking out from behind a rock.

The merman was a large, burly man with a face full of fat, and he was looking at the shore with a blank expression.

Before Yu Luoning could act, Li Yunyu suddenly opened his eyes.

The white silk covering his eyes transformed into a streak of light and flew away, violently dragging the male merman ashore.

"Spare me, my lord! Spare me, my lord!" The merman fell to the ground, his fishtail thrashing in terror. "I only heard the noise and took a curious look. I meant no harm!"

Yu Luoning stared at him, anxiously asking, "Do you know how to cure the poison in the serpent's inner core?"

The merman shook his head vigorously: "I don't know. There hasn't been such a large black merman in this underground river for hundreds of years. I was only disturbed by the commotion here and came to check it out."

A strange feeling arose in Yu Luoning's heart; the appearance of this snake was indeed suspicious.

But the immediate priority was to detoxify. She glanced at Lu Wanying, who was panting heavily and seemed eager to throw herself into Li Yunyu's arms, and her anger flared.

"Miss Lu, didn't you keep saying you wouldn't care about your chastity if it meant saving a life?"

Yu Luoning pointed to the burly merman on the ground and said, "Isn't this just perfect? ​​A male merman suddenly appeared. I think he can solve your immediate problem. Why don't you ask him if he's willing to sacrifice himself to cure you? As for my young master, you don't need to worry about him. I can do it myself!"

"You definitely have ill intentions!"

Lu Wanying's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Why should I use this filthy beast as an antidote?"

Upon hearing this, the merman beside him lowered his head in disappointment.

Yu Luoning said expressionlessly, "These things are all about mutual consent. If you're willing, and I'm willing, then let my young master choose for himself."

Lu Wanying looked at Li Yunyu with resentment, her gaze sorrowful: "Young Master Li...does Wanying disgust you so much?"

Li Yunyu didn't speak, but his jade-like face was now strangely flushed.

When he heard Yu Luoning say "yes," his jawline softened, and even the depths of his eyes revealed a hint of joy.

He said, "I'm sorry, but Miss Lu should deal with this poison herself."

"What's wrong with me? Am I not beautiful? How can you bear to let me submit to this dirty, ugly guy?"

Li Yunyu frowned, his voice cold and unreadable, "I already have someone I love, so I really can't help you."

Yu Luoning was taken aback upon hearing this, and her previous worries were replaced by a smile.

Li Yunyu's choice is quite clear.
