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

Shi Shangxu didn't say much, thanked him, and got up to get off the bus.

Yu Luoning followed behind, about to lift the carriage curtain.

"Miss Yu."

A voice came from behind.

Yu Luoning paused, then turned to look.

Jiang Yuxing's voice was seductive: "There are some things in this world that you look down on now because you haven't seen true despair yet."

"I am a man of great patience. Before the Heavenly Book Mountain gate, there is one last hurdle: the Soul-Shattering Slope. At that time, the gravity will double, and not only the physical body but also the soul will tremble. Even those with Foundation Establishment cultivation will find it difficult to protect themselves. Young Master Shi, at that time, I'm afraid you won't even be able to take care of yourself, so how can you protect the young lady?"

He paused.

"However, if you change your mind, I will still keep this life-saving jade talisman for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade talisman flew over and landed steadily in Yu Luoning's palm.

The jade talisman faintly emitted a fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Yu Luoning glanced down at it, but didn't move. "What would be the price if I crushed this jade talisman?"

"We are both smart people, why be so blunt?"

Jiang Yuxing's voice was lazy, with a hint of amusement, "You spend one night with me, and I can save your cousin Shi, as well as those two burdens."

"One night for four lives, young lady, do you think it's a good deal?"

Yu Luoning clutched the jade pendant, wishing she could throw it in his face the next second and smash his confident look to pieces.

However, thinking that the jade pendant might be useful later, she took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "Then thank you for your kindness, Young Master Jiang. I'll keep the jade pendant for now, and we can discuss the price later."

After Yu Luoning finished speaking, she turned around and jumped off the carriage, secretly putting a sound-recording stone into her Qiankun bag.

The jade tablet might actually come in handy on Shattered Soul Slope.

As for the cost? Huh?

Using your stuff is giving you face, okay?

If you want her to sleep with you, you have to see if the other person has the ability to do so!

When Yu Luoning came down, Shi Shangxu had already raised his hand, and his spiritual power quietly created a shield around her.

The moment her feet touched the ground, the weight hit her face, her arms felt like lead, and her chest felt like a small mountain was pressing down on her, leaving Yu Luoning breathless with exhaustion.

It is unknown what methods Jiang Yu used, but the voice that was inside the carriage just now was not heard.

Shi Shangxu asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you taking so long to come down?"

"Ye Yanshan chatted with me for a bit."

Yu Luoning casually said that she didn't want to talk anymore.

Shi Shangxu hummed in agreement and didn't ask any more questions, but quietly added another layer to the shield.

Jiang Yuxing's carriage slowly drove by the roadside, the curtains remaining perfectly still.

Yu Luoning snorted and continued walking with her head down.

The further you go, the more crowded the road becomes.

Thirty kilometers from the mountain gate, the mountain road was already completely blocked.

Carriages, spirit pets, and cultivators on foot were crammed together, all relying on pills and spiritual power to keep going, and no one could move quickly.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from behind.

A carriage approached from behind, its body swirling with red patterns. Made of magical artifacts, it was completely unaffected by gravity's magnetic field and moved at great speed.

Two teenagers sat at the front of the vehicle, wielding long whips. They didn't slow down at all, just charging into the crowd, shouting, "Make way! Make way!"

The whip lashed through the air with great force.

A whip swept across, striking a young child on the back, instantly drawing blood.

A man suddenly stood up and shouted, "Just walk, why are you hitting people for no reason!"

The boy in the front of the car laughed loudly, "You bunch of ants who can't even get past Shattered Soul Slope, I'm just saving you some effort beforehand!"

As he spoke, he swept the whip across again, sending the man crashing down onto the earthen slope beside the road.

Chaos erupted instantly, whips flew everywhere, and one whip even lashed out at Yu Luoning.

Fortunately, Shi Shangxu reacted quickly, grabbed the whip, and pulled the boy off the carriage, throwing him to the ground.

The boy scrambled to his feet, his face ashen. "What are you doing! You lowly commoner, how dare you stop my whip?"

"Apologize." Shi Shangxu's voice was deep, his gaze displeased.

The boy laughed loudly, "I won't! I'll beat you to death!"

The scene was completely chaotic.

Yu Luoning stood there, the pent-up frustration that had been building up in her chest all day suddenly surged upwards.

She took a deep breath, looked down, and took out a packet of croton seeds from her storage bag, along with several other spare medicinal powders, weighing them in her hand.

Endure what? Endure my ass!

"Mo Fei, Lu Mingyu," she called out, "What are you all standing there for? Scatter all of this on the ground."

Mo Fei raised his eyes, looked at what she was holding, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Just this ordinary croton oil? That's not enough. Watch me."

People have inexhaustible energy when they do bad things.

Mo Fei took out several spiritual herbs from his Qiankun bag, skillfully kneaded them with croton seeds, and then shaped them into small balls, which he then scattered on the ground.

The spirit steeds, smelling the fragrance of the spirit herbs, no longer cared about their master. They lowered their heads and snatched them, swallowing the croton seeds and the spirit herbs whole in one gulp.

The effect was noticeable in no time.

The horses' bellies rumbled and gurgled, one after another they began to stir, and then, with a torrent of diarrhea, the smell of which made one's scalp tingle.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yu Luoning made hand seals and used a basic teleportation technique to teleport Mo Fei, Lu Mingyu, Shi Shangxu and the others to an open space in front of her.

In addition, she secretly teleported the croton herb ball to the vicinity of Jiang Yuxing's carriage.

That guy's carriage was also stuck in the middle.

The main theme is that no one should have an easy time.

At this very moment, on the mountain path, the spirit steeds were rampaging, running and pulling as they went.

The masters chased after them, crying and screaming, creating chaos. Occasionally, the unlucky ones even ended up with a mouthful of spirit beast droppings.

Those boys who had been riding their fine horses and acting arrogantly all the way were now tumbling off their horses, crawling on the ground in a sorry state, covered in excrement.

Yu Luoning couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight.

"Let's see in a moment. Without the Spirit Steed, who is more noble?"

Mo Fei clapped his hands, a smug look on his face. "Ordinary croton seeds are useless. The key is my herbal formula. Hehe, you can all go eat shit!"

Lu Mingyu, standing to the side, was so trying not to laugh that his shoulders were shaking.

Shi Shangxu stood aside, glanced at the chaos behind him, then at Yu Luoning's hearty smile, and his lips twitched slightly.

Unfortunately, Yu Luoning caught that slight curve.

Yu Luoning raised an eyebrow and nudged his arm with her own. "Cousin~ you've become naughty too, you even know how to smirk."

Shi Shangxu stiffened as Yu Luoning brushed against him, and his barely concealed smile instantly spread across his face.

He cleared his throat. "Those people were arrogant and rude, and they almost hurt you. What you did can be considered doing justice for them, teaching them a lesson."

"If I were to feign reprimanding you again, wouldn't I be too hypocritical?"

Yu Luoning exaggeratedly looked Shi Shangxu up and down, and laughed, "Not bad, not bad, you've improved."

After a short while of laughter, a harsh reality was laid out before everyone.
