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

A gentle breeze blew outside the cave, and a ray of sunlight slanted in through a crack at the bottom of the cave.

The sound of very light breathing came from inside the cave, followed by the rustling sound of clothes being undressed.

Yu Luoning kissed his Adam's apple and licked it.

Shi Shangxu's body stiffened, and fireworks seemed to explode in his mind.

He frowned slightly, his voice tinged with urgency and confusion.

"Ningning? Is that so?"

"Okay, continue!"

The two were entangled in a chaotic struggle for an unknown amount of time.

A tingling sensation came from Shi Shangxu's waist. No wonder his senior brothers always said that lust was the biggest obstacle on the path of cultivation.

I don't know how much time passed.

A very soft panting sound rang out, and deep within Yu Luoning's sea of ​​consciousness, that very familiar system voice followed closely behind.

[Nirvana Fire replication complete! Automatically evolves into an advanced fire skill. Can unleash three fire dragons at once. The flames are condensed like gold, possessing extremely strong penetrating power, capable of scorching spiritual energy shields and striking directly at the inner layers.]

[The Mingxin Jue has been copied! It has automatically upgraded to the Mingxin Zhaojian Jue. The advanced lie detector can accurately identify the truthfulness of the other party's words.]

Recite it silently every morning, and your words and aura will naturally inspire trust throughout the day.

Note: If the difference in cultivation levels is too great, there is a risk that the deception will be detected.

[The Shattered Moon Sword Technique has been successfully copied. It has automatically upgraded to the Moon Slaying Technique. A single strike can break through the Mystic Light Shield.]

Yu Luoning closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and she chose the Mind-Clearing Technique without hesitation.

The reason why Shi Shangxu was reluctant to develop a closer relationship with him was because he had the Mind-Clearing Technique, which allowed him to see through his lies.

Yu Luoning likes him, but not to the point of loving him.

Shi Shangxu must have known this, but with the help of the system, the Mingxin Jue was actually upgraded.

This skill is simply unbelievable.

It will surely be of great use in the future.

Yu Luoning immediately prepared to try it on Shi Shangxu.

A pair of light amber eyes gazed at him.

Yu Luoning said sincerely, "Cousin, you... are amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Shangxu felt as if a warm current had swept over him.

He believed it.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Luoning copied the Nirvana Fire and Shattered Moon Sword Techniques without hesitation.

Very good, we're still missing one more magical artifact.

At this moment, Shi Shangxu's cheeks were flushed, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Although his physical strength could hold up, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Yu Luoning wasn't in a hurry. After all, Shi Shangxu was already tired from doing it three times in a row, so she let him rest first.

She gently tidied the stray hairs on his forehead.

Shi Shangxu noticed the hand, his eyelashes fluttered, and he looked up, their eyes meeting.

The awkwardness and panic of someone experiencing love for the first time in his eyes were mixed with genuine tenderness.

Yu Luoning felt a slight burning sensation in her heart.

She quickly looked away.

No, I can't think about these things.

We're still missing a "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting.

She silently repeated it in her heart.

I rested for a little while.

Yu Luoning turned to the side and wrapped herself around him again.

"Cousin~"

Her voice was as soft as water, and her fingertips casually traced circles on his chest.

Shi Shangxu's body stiffened.

"Ningning..."

"Let's do it one more time."

Yu Luoning climbed onto his neck, her eyes slightly upturned, a smile playing on her lips.

Shi Shangxu's Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long pause, he spoke with difficulty: "...You just said you were hurting your soul."

"Much better." Yu Luoning blinked. "Didn't you know that yin and yang harmony can heal injuries? My cousin is a sword cultivator, and his body has accumulated yang fire, so I'll help you clear it out."

Time and order: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Time passed second by second, and Yu Luoning frowned slightly.

No?

Shouldn't there also be a "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" painting?

She remembered very clearly that when she first met Shi Shangxu, it was shown in the illustrated guide!

What went wrong? How can a spirit artifact disappear after being listed in the encyclopedia?

Is it because there haven't been enough attempts?

Shi Shangxu happened to see this and his heart tightened: "Did I hurt you?"

Yu Luoning regained her composure and shook her head.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him, and laughed, "Brother, let's do it again!"

Shi Shangxu froze.

"...Ningning."

His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and his voice sounded weak.

Yu Luoning kissed his Adam's apple and said coquettishly, "Just this once, please."

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He wasn't unresponsive, he just sensed something was wrong.

An ancient saying goes: "Indulging in desires harms the body and obscures the mind of the Way."

Romantic relationships between men and women should be kept in moderation, especially for those who cultivate themselves spiritually, who should not indulge in them.

Ningning seemed somewhat engrossed in it.

He was still injured, and he had just said weakly that his soul was damaged.

A very subtle worry arose in Shi Shangxu's heart.

He loves her.

Because of love, he hoped she would focus on her spiritual practice and health rather than indulging in romantic love.

"Ningning."

Shi Shangxu grasped the restless hand on his chest, his tone firm: "No. You're still injured."

His ears turned bright red, and he pretended to put on a stern face, emphasizing again, "We'll talk about it next time, not this time."

Yu Luoning: "..."

She tilted her head and blinked, "Don't you like it, cousin?"

Time and order: "..."

His brow twitched, and his voice was terribly hoarse, "I...I don't dislike it, it's just..."

"If it's not that you don't like it, then it must be that you do." Yu Luoning flipped over and pounced on him again.

Shi Shangxu was jolted and instinctively reached out to help her, but froze halfway through.

Her eyes were shimmering, her lips brushed against his ear, her voice soft and sweet:

"This is the last time, I promise it's really the last time."

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

He looked at her and finally surrendered.

I don't know how much time passed.

The light and shadow shifted once more.

Yu Luoning listened intently from the depths of her consciousness.

No buzzer?

Why didn't it ring?

Is the "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" painting truly gone?

Yu Luoning's expression changed slightly.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting couldn't be replicated through dual cultivation? If so, why was it included in the illustrated guide?

Yu Luoning's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

She almost forgot where she was.

The man beside her stirred slightly.

Shi Shangxu watched as her furrowed brows and the blush on her face faded away at a visible pace.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his gaze: "I'm sorry... it's my fault."

Yu Luoning was taken aback: "Huh?"

Shi Shangxu turned his face away, his ears burning red, and said in a muffled voice, "I...I've never done these things before, and my lack of skill will surely disappoint you."

Yu Luoning: "...?"

She froze for half a second before realizing what the other person was saying.

Shi Shangxu thought that her frown just now meant she was complaining about his poor skills in bed.

Yu Luoning almost burst out laughing.

Her lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

But the real reason cannot be told to outsiders.

But the more Shi Shangxu thought about it, the more he realized that this was indeed the case.

He is new to this world and is quite inexperienced.

He could feel the pain himself just now, and Ningning had been guiding him from beginning to end, so it must have been an unpleasant experience.

That furrowed brow just now must have been something he had been holding back for a long time.

A sudden wave of guilt washed over Shi Shangxu, followed by a deep sense of depression.

He took a deep breath, turned to the side, and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Ningning."

"...Next time, I will definitely satisfy you."

Give me some time.

"I...I will learn."

Yu Luoning was stunned in his arms.

She opened her mouth, then closed it again.

That's fine too, anyway, she's the one who's sexually happy.

Yu Luoning buried her face in his chest and smiled, "Practice makes perfect. Cousin is so smart, he'll learn it in no time."

She felt she had lied enough today, and that lying one more time would be a curse.

Forget it.

Yu Luoning closed her eyes and focused her mind.

Shi Shangxu's tense heart slowly relaxed, and he kissed the top of her head.

"Go to sleep."

"I'll stay by your side."

Yu Luoning closed her eyes, listening to his steady heartbeat above her head, and slowly relaxed, her consciousness gradually becoming hazy.

At dawn, a ray of sunlight pierced through the cracks in the cave and landed right on Shi Shangxu's tightly closed eyelashes. He had been awake for a long time, but he was too stiff to move.

Yesterday's absurdity is still vivid in my mind.

Shi Shangxu naturally experienced the unparalleled wonderful taste, but whenever he thought about it, Ningning's slightly disgusted expression at the end became a curse on his heart.

He carefully turned his head to look at the side.

Yu Luoning was sleeping soundly, her little face buried in her messy black hair, revealing red marks around her neck.

Shi Shangxu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with self-reproach.

My skills were still too crude; I had devoured a person like a hungry wolf, leaving them in such a state.

Before anyone knew it, Yu Luoning slowly opened her eyes.

There was no shyness in her eyes, only a clear and refreshed expression.

Although the final copy of the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting was unsuccessful, she gained an extra skill, so how could she not be happy?

Feeling compensating, Yu Luoning pouted and gave Shi Shangxu a kiss on the corner of his lips.

A pair of self-doubting eyes softened like spring water.

The two were very close, their breaths mingling.

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Shi Shangxu leaned forward slightly and greedily captured her lips in his mouth.
