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

In the turbulent currents of the whirlpool, he quietly watched the hands that appeared out of nowhere.

In that split second, he grasped it.

Without hesitation.

Yu Luoning pulled back with all her might. Only then did she realize how strong the suction force in the vortex was.

If it were me, I'm afraid I would have been torn to pieces by this turbulent current long ago.

The next moment, with a loud bang, Li Yunyu broke free from the vortex's suction force and landed directly in front of Yu Luoning from the depths of chaos hundreds of miles away.

Yu Luoning collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Her hands were only exposed to the whirlpool for a moment before they were already cut and bleeding.

Looking down at her hand, she gasped in pain.

Luckily, Li Yunyu chose her to come in with him. If it had been someone else, they probably would have been helpless by now.

She took out gauze from her storage bag and hastily wrapped her hands.

Looking up at Li Yunyu, who was disheveled and in disarray, she spoke with a hint of smugness.

"How was it? Did I impress you with my handsomeness just now? It's a good thing you brought me in. If you had brought someone else, you might not have been so lucky."

"I've always been a kind and charitable person. You don't need to think about how to thank me for saving my life just now; just give me some spirit stones, okay?"

Li Yunyu didn't speak. He just stood there, shirtless, his hair disheveled.

Those eyes were like an abyss, unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Yu Luoning felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze. She stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "What? You're trying to renege on your life-saving grace?"

"Your teleportation technique doesn't seem to be a Feng family magic technique," Li Yunyu suddenly said, his voice lowering slightly.

Yu Luoning paused, then laughed twice. "What, how could it not be? Let me tell you, this was personally taught to me by Feng Qiguang. Authentic Feng Clan secret technique, understand?"

He paused, looking at her profile, and said, slowly and deliberately:

"You just traveled hundreds of miles."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Yu Luoning turned around, met his gaze, and swallowed hard.

Oh no, Li Yunyu realized it.

Her ability to traverse the sky is worlds apart from that of the Feng family.

The Feng family's Transcendent Technique involves the body traversing space; no matter how fast the speed, it's still a straight line. It's simply the movement of the person themselves.

She hadn't moved her body at all; instead, she had caused the two spaces to overlap at a single point.

This kind of extraordinary skill is too incredible.

Great families and clans all have their own unique skills. Through these skills, one can immediately identify which school or lineage one belongs to by observing the aura and essence of the techniques.

Although the Sky-Crossing Technique that Yu Luoning just used had the influence of the Feng family, it far surpassed the Feng family's level.

In an instant, Li Yunyu recalled the scene when he first met Yu Luoning, and the bounty notice that followed from the Feng family.

No wonder.

However, for a petty thief who stole the Feng family's secret techniques to cause such a commotion, there must be another reason.

He initially thought this was just a matter between her, Feng Qiguang, and himself. At worst, he'd fight Feng Qiguang, snatch her away, and that would be the end of it.

But things are different now.

A technique completely transcending the Feng family's unique skills has appeared in the world. The Feng family will absolutely not let this go easily. This is not just a matter for Feng Qiguang alone, but also for the reputation of the entire Feng family and the very foundation of their standing in Beichuan.

Even if Feng Qiguang himself is willing to withdraw, the Feng family will absolutely not allow Yu Xiaoguai to wander outside like this.

Even other powerful families and sects would vie for her, demanding to know her cultivation techniques.

The saying "possessing a treasure is a crime" illustrates this point.

This is a bit troublesome. Just as he was thinking this, a purplish face suddenly leaned in front of him.

Yu Luoning put her hands on her hips and said in a fierce tone, "Hey, are you up to something? There's something off about the look in your eyes."

"Let me tell you, I am your savior. You should repay this life-saving kindness tenfold. Remember that."

Li Yunyu looked down at her, remained silent for a while, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

"Yes, I will repay your life with my body."

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning immediately objected, "Hey, hey, hey, you really know how to do good for yourself, don't you? Who asked you to offer yourself to me..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.

Li Yunyu chuckled twice, his laughter hoarse, then suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed onto Yu Luoning's shoulder. His warm breath even brushed against her neck.

"Let me lean on it for a while."

Yu Luoning froze on the spot. She tilted her head slightly, looking at Li Yunyu's pale face and the bright red bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly couldn't say a word.

After a long silence, Yu Luoning spoke.

"Li Yunyu?"

"Um."

"Are you really hurt, or are you faking it?"

"You're really hurt."

Yu Luoning sighed and had no choice but to obediently support him.

Then, I felt a slight coolness on my neck.

After a moment of stunned silence, she said speechlessly:

Why are you sticking your tongue out and licking my neck?

"Didn't you like it a few days ago?" Li Yunyu's voice was languid and slightly hoarse.

Yu Luoning's cheeks burned. She quickly glanced at the surrounding chaotic fog, fearing there might be other witnesses inside.

"Please, don't get horny so easily!"

Li Yunyu gave a soft hum, said nothing, but leaned his head more against her shoulder and tightened his grip on her hands.

Yu Luoning wanted to push him away, but seeing the bloody marks all over his body caused by the suction, she couldn't help herself.

After a moment of silence, Li Yunyu suddenly spoke.

"My little darling, I want to hide you. Hide you somewhere no one can find you."

Are you sick?

Li Yunyu chuckled twice, his voice tinged with weariness. After a moment of silence, his tone suddenly became exceptionally serious, "Promise me you won't use that levitation technique lightly, okay?"

Why?

"Danger."

Yu Luoning couldn't help but feel nervous.

"All I know is that this spell is very useful; it has saved me several times. How could there be any danger...?"

"Possessing a treasure is a crime, do you understand?"

Yu Luoning remained silent, staring at the chaos ahead, several thoughts racing through her mind, when suddenly she realized something.

"Li Yunyu".

"Um."

"Do you... know something?"

Li Yunyu responded softly.

"Do you know that the technique of tearing open a spatial passage is inherently defying the heavens? How many people covet the Feng family's unique skill?"

"What you just did was fold two spaces together. As far as I know, no cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage can do that."

"And you, you're only at the second level of Qi Refining."

Do I really need to spell it out?

Yu Luoning was startled.

She knew that none of the skills the system provided were ordinary.

Li Yunyu was a native cultivator of this continent. Only after hearing his words did she realize how powerful the first skill she had copied was.

If Li Yunyu could see the clues, the other cultivators would naturally also sense that something was amiss. A cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining possessed such supernatural abilities; he must be hiding a secret.

If she doesn't know how to restrain herself, this piece of fat will eventually attract countless hungry wolves.

Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, keep a low profile!

We must never be careless again.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Yu Luoning spoke up, her voice very low.

"You were the only one who saw what just happened, weren't you?"

Li Yunyu remained silent.

"As for people, I am indeed the only one. But whether He saw me or not, I don't know."

"Him?"

"The master of this grotto is the Old Man of Silent Extinction."
