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

Cao Jinglei was trembling all over.

His cheeks were flushed red, his forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, his eyes were unfocused, and his breathing was rapid, like a fish about to die of thirst.

In a daze, his gaze fell on Jiang Yuxing.

It was like finding a water source.

His eyes suddenly lit up with a burning intensity.

Jiang Yuxing's pupils contracted.

He was the one who cast the spell of the Long Love Thread, and he knew the mechanism of this magical artifact all too well.

The red silk should have been wrapped around Yu Luoning.

Jiang Yuxing stood frozen in place.

Cao Jinglei's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, his lips trembling, "...Young Master...something's not right with me."

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Yuxing's face was deathly pale. The Immortal Binding Rope prevented him from even retreating. "Cao Jinglei, do you want to die?!"

But Cao Jinglei was no longer listening.

A flush rose in his eyes, and he crawled toward Jiang Yuxing on his knees.

Yu Luoning stood on the treetop, silently watching this scene.

After speaking, Yu Luoning glanced at the jade pendant that had fallen into the weeds.

A Bewitching Jade Pendant? Interesting.

With a flick of her wrist, the Bewitching Jade Token flew into her Qiankun Bag.

Then, he reached into his Qiankun bag and took out a shadow stone.

With a light tap of her fingertip, the shadow stone hovered in mid-air, shimmering with a faint halo.

Yu Luoning snorted coldly.

It's a pity there are no live-streaming magical artifacts, otherwise, these two would have no face to live on.

As she was thinking, not far away, Cao Jinglei had already crawled to Jiang Yuxing's feet, completely losing his senses.

A suppressed gasp escaped his throat, "Young master, I'm so hot, I want..."

Jiang Yuxing's entire face was contorted.

He, a young talent of the prestigious Northern Sword Alliance, a man with a jade-like face and a demonic aura, was now being devoured by the very spell he had cast.

"roll!"

Before he could even utter a rebuke, Cao Jinglei had already reached out and grabbed the hem of his robe.

"Just... just once..."

Jiang Yuxing's vision went black.

Yu Luoning's shoulders trembled, her laughter barely contained.

The camera then shifts to a patch of grass, where intermittent, enchanting sounds can be heard.

"Young master, I will make you comfortable..."

"roll!"

"Almost there! Let me...it'll be done in a minute!"

The rustling sound of robes mingled with breaths and suppressed groans.

Jiang Yuxing's cries of "roll over!" grew weaker with each roll until he was completely exhausted, leaving him only with desperate pleas for mercy.

An eerie silence descended upon the forest at some unknown time.

The shadow stone in Yu Luoning's hand had automatically come to an end, and she put it into her sleeve with satisfaction.

I wonder if this image stone can be replicated!

Yu Luoning chuckled softly and was about to turn around when the love bell at her waist suddenly trembled.

She was slightly taken aback.

Shi Shangxu was almost there. Her eyes flickered, and she decided to quickly change locations before he arrived.

It's best not to let Shi Shangxu see such filth.

With a thousand thoughts racing through her mind, Yu Luoning lightly touched the ground with her toes and jumped down from the treetop.

She was preparing to walk around the unsightly scene under the tree.

Jiang Yuxing, who was pinned below, struggled to raise his head. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was as pale as paper, and there were bite marks on the corners of his mouth.

"Help...help me!"

Yu Luoning looked down at him and remained silent for a moment.

If it weren't for the protective scales on his heart, he would have suffered the same fate as Jiang Yuxing today.

It wasn't that she was afraid to kill him, but that she couldn't.

If her life tablet shatters, she won't be able to escape either!

Yu Luoning's gaze was cold: "Young Master Jiang, what did you just say? No one I set my sights on can escape. What is love? True love? I'd rather believe in my magical artifact..."

"Look, your magical artifacts love you too."

She pointed at Cao Jinglei and continued, "Then why don't you try to love it?"

Jiang Yuxing's vision went black, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Yu Luoning retrieved the Immortal Binding Rope, and after taking two steps, she suddenly turned back with a smile: "Young Master Jiang, rest assured, I have noted down everything that just happened."

Jiang Yuxing suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock. Before he could speak, Yu Luoning had already disappeared into the forest as a blur.

At a stream deep within the Cloud Valley,

Shi Shangxu arrived on his sword, with the Tongxin Bell guiding Yu Luoning in the right direction.

Shi Shangxu looked around and finally spotted a familiar figure by the stream.

"Luoning!"

He rushed forward and saw that she was soaking wet and her voice was trembling.

He grabbed her shoulder, only to find his palm covered in blood.

Yu Luoning gave a weak smile.

Failed.

Today, she should be wearing white. White against blood is a shocking sight, and the broken beauty is even more heartbreaking.

Shi Shangxu's voice trembled, "You're injured? Who injured you?"

Yu Luoning looked at his red eyes, and her smile faded a little.

She raised her other hand and gently placed it on the back of his hand that was holding her wrist.

"cousin."

"I'm fine."

Shi Shangxu stared intently at the blood on her face, his Adam's apple bobbing. After a long while, he finally managed to speak with difficulty: "...Where is the person who hurt you?"

Yu Luoning lowered her eyelashes. "I've already taken care of it."

"How was it handled?"

"..."

Yu Luoning was silent for two seconds, then raised her eyes and looked at him seriously.

"It's better if you don't know."

Time and order: "..."

"Anyway... let's go first."

In the end, Shi Shangxu didn't ask anything, but simply carefully pulled the person into his arms.

"...Let me heal your wounds first."

"Cousin, don't worry about it. I can feel my spiritual veins are drying up."

The order of things was suddenly disrupted, and everyone was thrown into chaos.

He desperately poured spiritual energy into her body, saying, "No, believe me, I will heal you."

Yu Luoning held his hand, her gentle eyes now misty with tears.

"I'm glad I got to see my cousin one last time before I died, but I still have some regrets before I passed away."

Shi Shangxu suddenly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold, as if all his strength had been drained away. "Don't...don't speak! I'll take you back to Sword Peak. Master and the others will definitely have a way."

Yu Luoning shook her head, her smile bittersweet. With difficulty, she raised her fingers and slowly stroked his cheek.

"Cousin, I can't bear to leave you! I don't want to die."

At this moment, Shi Shangxu's usual composure vanished. He held Yu Luoning in his arms, his whole body trembling. If he had any sense left, he would know that although Yu Luoning's injuries were severe, they were not fundamental.

But my heart is in turmoil.

Yu Luoning raised her head slightly, her lips brushing against his chin, and said weakly, "Cousin, I regret that I have never tasted... the flavor of a man. Rather than let my cultivation turn to dust in this life, I would rather give it all to you, cousin."

Shi Shangxu's pupils dilated violently, as if a thunderbolt had struck his heart.

...This is the dividing line for those who haven't tasted...the flavor...
