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

Yu Luoning looked at him sadly: "Cousin, even now you still refuse? Just to grant the wish of a dying man?"

Looking at Yu Luoning, who was on the verge of death in his arms, Shi Shangxu felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

He swallowed hard, his voice low and hoarse, almost inaudible.

"Luo Ning, although I come from a humble background, I have heard of the method of dual cultivation. However, it would damage my junior sister's reputation."

Yu Luoning slightly raised her eyelashes, her eyes glistening with tears: "Cousin, what's the use of a good reputation when someone's dead?"

He looked at her pale face, at the trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth, and the last string in his heart snapped.

Shi Shangxu closed his eyes. "Okay, I promise you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Luoning sat up abruptly from his arms.

"Really, you promised, you can't go back on your word."

Yu Luoning gripped his finger tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

"Let's go, let's go. I know there's a secluded mountain path ahead, and I've already set up a soundproofing array."

Yu Luoning pulled the petrified Shi Shangxu and headed into the woods.

How could his posture and gait suggest that his spiritual veins were about to dry up?

They're incredibly impatient.

Shi Shangxu stood there stunned, and it took her a while to react.

His mind went blank, but he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Luoning, your injury?" Shi Shangxu pursed his lips and asked softly.

Yu Luoning didn't even turn her head: "Oh, it's okay. It's not too late to die after we've had our fun. We need to be efficient. What a waste if I actually die later."

Shi Shangxu: "..."

His face turned red and then white, then white and then black.

Suddenly, it stopped and wouldn't move.

Yu Luoning kept pulling forward, but after a while she realized the other person wasn't keeping up. She turned around and saw Shi Shangxu's face. It was very dark.

A pair of eyes quietly watching herself.

Oh no, oh no!

The honest man got angry!

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Luoning, it's no fun to deceive people with your life."

After finishing his speech, Shi Shangxu turned and strode away.

Yu Luoning lowered her head guiltily.

As she was thinking about how to respond, the severe injury to her soul, mixed with the aftershocks of her journey, suddenly surged onto her spiritual platform.

Everything went black before my eyes, and I fell straight backward.

Suddenly, a large hand firmly gripped her waist.

Although Shi Shangxu was so angry that his chest hurt, his body reacted faster than his brain.

At this moment, his face was cold, and his eyes were full of undisguised worry.

Yu Luoning buried her head in his chest and rubbed against him, saying, "Don't be mean to me, it really hurts this time."

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath, and his anger subsided instantly.

He slipped one hand under her knees and scooped her up in his arms. "Let's go back to the sect first, and I'll heal your injuries."

Yu Luoning lowered her eyes and asked again, unwilling to give up, "So you just... agreed to it."

There was a moment of silence; neither of them spoke.

Shi Shangxu looked at Yu Luoning, who seemed completely unfazed.

For some reason, he suddenly felt very tired.

"Can you still hold on?" Shi Shangxu asked.

Yu Luoning nodded pitifully: "...Yes. It didn't cause any fundamental damage, mainly just injury to the soul, so I need to rest..."

Shi Shangxu held her in his arms, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "After we finish our dual cultivation, once you've recovered, we'll settle this score slowly."

Yu Luoning blinked, looked up, and her gaze traveled along his taut jawline.

Lin Guangxia's expression appeared somewhat serious.

Yu Luoning suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

If she didn't have the ability to replicate through dual cultivation, she would probably be willing to become Daoist partners with a man like Shi Shangxu and spend her life together.

Unfortunately, no if.

"Go that way, turn left, go around that huge rock, and there's a hidden cave ahead. I discovered it by chance when I passed by earlier."

Shi Shangxu glanced down at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Why...are you so insistent on cultivating with me?"

Yu Luoning was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If I said that I was attracted to your body the moment I saw you, would you believe me?"

Shi Shangxu lowered his head, looked at the person in his arms, and pursed his lips.

After watching her for a while, he didn't say anything, but simply hugged her tightly and walked in the direction she had indicated.

After rounding a boulder, a cave was hidden behind a patch of vines and grass.

The cave was deep but not damp, and the ground was covered with clean rocks.

He took out a red velvet blanket from his storage bag and placed it on the stone platform covered with dried grass. Then he gently placed Yu Luoning on it.

After doing all this, he suddenly turned around, his back taut, and dared not look at her.

"Cousin, have you changed your mind?" Yu Luoning called out to him, but Shi Shangxu did not respond; instead, his breathing became rapid.

After hesitating for a long time, Shi Shangxu gritted his teeth and said, "I...I have never been with a woman in my life."

"I don't know... I don't know what to do?"

Yu Luoning paused for a moment, then fell silent.

A secret sense of pleasure rose within me.

She sat on the stone platform, leaning slightly forward, and reached out to tug at the corner of his sleeve: "It's alright, there's plenty of time."

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath, turned around and stood in front of her, his tall figure casting a large shadow.

Shi Shangxu looked down at her. "Do you want your injury treated first?"

Yu Luoning looked down and saw that her body was covered in bloodstains, which was indeed unsightly. She pinched her hands together and used a cleansing talisman to wash away the filth.

The air was silent, except for the sound of water flowing gently down the cave walls and splashing onto the stone floor.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!

Yu Luoning's heart pounded.

She thought that the two of them had never been completely honest with each other. If Little Phoenix were here, she probably would have grabbed him and kissed him.

Let's be more subtle and not scare honest people.

Shi Shangxu took another step forward. His usually upright features now showed a hint of hesitation.

A small shadow fell over them, and their ears were already bright red.

Yu Luoning saw everything but wasn't in a hurry to urge them.

Shi Shangxu: "I...I'll try my best not to make you feel bad."

Yu Luoning smiled faintly, "I won't make you feel bad."

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath, looking like an honest man going all out.

His slender fingers rested on the jade belt at his waist, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Yu Luoning reached out and placed her hand over the buckle. "Let me do it!"

Shi Shangxu paused for a moment, then gave a soft "hmm," his voice slightly hoarse.
