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

Yu Luoning stepped out of his embrace and looked up at him.

She was already familiar with Shi Shangxu's face.

But looking closely at him now in the dim sunlight inside the room, one can't help but admire how good-looking he is.

Her brow bone was delicate and deep, and her eyebrows and eyes were long and slender.

He should have had a handsome and aloof appearance, but he was born with a pair of eyes as warm and gentle as a mountain spring.

Yu Luoning's heart stirred slightly, and she couldn't help but marvel at how well she was eating.

She was in a daze for a moment, then silently told herself to take care of the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting first, otherwise all her efforts that night would be in vain.

Yu Luoning smiled and said, "Wait a moment, there's something I need to give you first."

Shi Shangxu was taken aback: "For me?"

Yu Luoning hummed in agreement. She asked Shi Shangxu to sit down at the wooden table in the room outside the screen, and then sat down herself.

Then he took out a scroll from his Qiankun bag.

The order of the times and the order of the merchants is unclear.

Yu Luoning smiled and said, "Do you still remember this scroll?"

Shi Shangxu glanced down and smiled slightly, "Of course I remember. We both liked this painting that day."

"Yes, but a certain gentleman ultimately gave it to me."

Yu Luoning glanced at him sideways, drawing out her words.

Shi Shangxu smiled slightly, then lowered his head and remained silent.

Yu Luoning: "This scroll painting can be considered the starting point of our fate. Our first meeting was because of it."

Yu Luoning felt that her ability to lie through her teeth was getting better and better.

Where did they first meet? In Phoenix Perch Town, not in the Moon Gazing Secret Realm.

But of course she wouldn't say that.

Shi Shangxu didn't laugh along with her words. He remained silent for a moment, his expression turning slightly serious. He looked up at Yu Luoning and asked, "Luoning, do you have a sister or any relatives?"

Yu Luoning asked, puzzled, "Why do you ask that?"

Shi Shangxu lowered his eyes and said carefully, "Actually, I once saved a woman in the secret realm. That woman looked very similar to you, except that she had a purple birthmark on her face."

Yu Luoning's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't the woman Shi Shangxu is talking about herself?

How much time has passed? Such a good memory! How do you still remember?

Yu Luoning's mind raced, and without making a sound, she activated a wisp of her divine sense, activating the Mind-Clearing Technique.

Her eyes immediately became incredibly sincere. "I've never been to any secret realm, nor do I have any relatives or anything like that. The girl you saved must be someone else entirely."

Shi Shangxu lowered his eyes. "That must be... I'm overthinking it."

Yu Luoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're definitely overthinking it. But speaking of which, that woman really made a deep impression on you. You saved her? And then? Did she offer herself to you?"

Shi Shangxu looked at her, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Yu Luoning, however, became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, her tone full of teasing: "You're so great, handsome and with such a good personality. If I were her, I would definitely repay you with my body and cling to you until you can't shake me off."

Shi Shangxu's lips twitched, and he finally chuckled, "Alright."

Yu Luoning immediately looked like she'd spilled a jar of jealousy. "Are you alright? Let me tell you, you need to be more careful when you save people in the future. What if another person like me comes along and pesters you? Are you going to soften your heart and keep them around?"

Shi Shangxu was tense: "No, it won't happen."

"real?"

"real."

"Okay, then I believe you. You're only allowed to be nice to me, not to any other women, understand?"

The timely business sequence is guaranteed.

Suddenly, his gaze fell back on the scroll painting on the table. "Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Didn't you like this scroll a lot before?"

Yu Luoning: "I like it, but it doesn't really matter. I've had enough of looking at it, so I'm giving it to you now."

As she spoke, she handed over the scroll. Shi Shangxu looked down and froze.

This painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains has very clear mountain and river patterns, and there is a spiritual energy moving within it, just like a living world.

Shi Shangxu raised his eyes: "This is a good thing; it can even temporarily trap a person inside the Landscape Painting. You can keep it; why give it to me?"

Yu Luoning: "We've been together for so long, and I haven't given you a single thing yet."

"There's no need for us to make things so clear."

Yu Luoning: "You're my man. How can it be considered calculating if I give you something? Besides, I don't need it myself; keeping it would be a waste. Your mission in the inner sect is extremely dangerous, so I might as well give it to you."

Shi Shangxu opened his mouth: "I..."

Seeing that Shi Shangxu was still going to refuse, Yu Luoning could only resort to her usual tactic.

"You're not accepting it? Do you look down on it? Do you think what I gave you is too insignificant?"

Shi Shangxu panicked on the spot. He quickly grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "How could that be? I like anything Ningning gives me."

"Good girl, then you can accept it."

Shi Shangxu looked helpless, his eyes swirling with unspeakable emotions.

He carefully put the scroll into his Qiankun bag, his expression solemn: "Thank you, Ningning. I will definitely treasure the 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' painting."

Yu Luoning smiled faintly, then turned her head away guiltily.

Taking advantage of the moment she lowered her head, she sank her consciousness into her sea of ​​consciousness and opened the illustrated book that belonged to the Shishangxu section.

as predicted.

Below the skills that can be copied in the Time and Commerce sequence, a new line of text has been added: 【A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains】

Yu Luoning read on, word by word.

The original "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting could only serve as a storage function, or temporarily trap people in a landscape illusion.

The upgraded version can even switch between the virtual and real worlds within a radius of hundreds of miles, moving the mountains and rivers in the animation and influencing the real-world landscape.

Yu Luoning swallowed hard.

This thing is absolutely amazing!

Curious, Yu Luoning continued reading and found a small note on the last line.

[Use with caution if your cultivation level is insufficient!]

The greater the intervention, the more profound the cost. Forcibly altering the landscape will incur the wrath of the land. The fortune will be severely damaged, bringing misfortune for the next few months, and may even attract heavenly lightning.

……

Yu Luoning immediately shivered; her excitement at being able to manipulate the world was extinguished by a bucket of ice water.

She finally understood that this treasure was now a nuclear weapon.

Once ignited, it explodes along with itself.

Yu Luoning's eyes darkened.

She immediately drew inferences from this example: since she couldn't change the huge karmic consequences, it didn't mean she couldn't change the small feng shui.

If anyone offends me in the future, I'll secretly change the feng shui of their house.

The blessed land has turned into a barren wasteland, haha!

Yu Luoning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing her shoulders shaking with laughter, Shi Shangxu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Yu Luoning suppressed her smile, looked up at Shi Shangxu's clean face, and suddenly felt that Shi Shangxu was her lucky star.

Hmm? Wait a minute! It seems like this has been said to everyone before?

Yu Luoning felt guilty for a moment, but quickly and nonchalantly dismissed it, ignoring it completely.

Who made Shi Shangxu the one sitting opposite me at this very moment?

She reached out and grabbed Shi Shangxu by the collar, pulling him towards her.

The next moment, the two were very close.

Yu Luoning cupped his face and kissed his rosy lips.

"Cousin, I suddenly realize how much I love you!"

These sweet words instantly made Shi Shangxu blush and his heart pound.

With the blessing of the Mingxin Jue, Shi Shangxu had no doubt.

He opened his mouth, and after a long pause, he stammered, "Me, I feel the same way."

Yu Luoning glanced at the darkening sky outside the window. "It's getting late. Are you staying tonight?"

Shi Shangxu nodded, his face flushed, "I'm not leaving."

Yu Luoning chuckled and lowered her head to kiss him: "Aren't you leaving? The night is so long, what do you suggest we do?"

She leaned close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against Shi Shangxu's earlobe.

Shi Shangxu froze, his Adam's apple bobbing violently. "You, you decide."

Seeing his expression, Yu Luoning felt a surge of anger. She reached out and pulled his collar down a little more, then leaned in and kissed his lips forcefully.

"I've made up my mind, then...it'll be you."

Shi Shangxu's pupils contracted, and his cheeks flushed bright red.
