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

But Cui Xiu did not move. Instead, because of this solid touch, the sensation was transmitted to Yue Qi, who was thousands of miles away, through the shared sense of connection.

Within his mind, a clear, cold, yet authoritative voice rang out: "Kill."

Cui Xiu laughed.

Seeing that he remained motionless, the divine markings on his neck suddenly lit up, and a searing pain shot through him.

Oh! The main character was blasphemed and is now furious?

This realization greatly pleased Cui Xiu.

Instead of striking, he burst into laughter, a laughter tinged with bloodlust and madness.

"I'm the one who got pinched, what are you angry about?" Cui Xiu provoked Yue Qi in his mind.

An increasingly intense and scorching aura of punishment emanated from the divine runes.

Cui Xiu didn't care at all.

As the embodiment of all of Yue Qi's evil thoughts, what excites him most and what he desires most is to pull that person down from his sanctimonious throne.

He ignored her completely and released his grip on Yu Luoning's waist.

Losing her footing, Yu Luoning actually took a few steps back.

She discovered that she was not dead?

The shift from wanting to die to wanting to live can happen in the blink of an eye.

Yu Luoning knelt down with incredibly smooth skin, her forehead pressed to the ground, and she kowtowed devoutly.

"My lord, immortal master, senior, ancestor, I have just lost my mind and am talking nonsense. I thought you were going to kill me, so I dared to think of witnessing your divine power before I die. I really had no intention of offending your precious body."

The divine markings on his neck were still flashing, but the smile in Cui Xiu's eyes grew increasingly sinister.

He looked down at the woman who had just pinched him hard and spoken rudely, a slight smile playing on his lips.

After receiving no response for a long time, Yu Luoning shakily raised her head.

Cui Xiu's expression was inscrutable.

Yu Luoning felt that she could still be saved.

She explained, "Actually, I was just checking you out. Your robes were half open, and I was worried you'd catch a chill from the mountain air. I was trying to help you pull your clothes up a bit..."

Cui Xiu scoffed, "Do you think Yu would believe that?"

Yu Luoning smiled wryly: "They probably don't believe it..."

Silence fell over the air once again.

Yu Luoning remained kneeling until the exquisite purple robes disappeared from her sight.

She cautiously raised her eyes, her heart pounding with unbridled joy. Was it really over? The terrifying big shot had actually let her go so easily?

Could it be that I am the incarnation of a succubus?

How come the other person isn't angry after being so offended?

What kind of crazy luck did she have?

Before Yu Luoning could even catch her breath, the man four or five steps ahead suddenly stopped.

Cui Xiu turned slightly to the side, her long, ink-black hair sliding down her purple robe.

He said, "Aren't you going to follow?"

Yu Luoning's expression of relief instantly crumbled.

She rose shakily and followed cautiously behind, filled with fear and apprehension, feeling like a prisoner about to be taken to the execution ground.

I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Senior, where are we going?" Yu Luoning asked cautiously.

Cui Xiu ignored her completely and continued walking forward on her own.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yu Luoning took a deep breath, her tone becoming melancholy.

"Senior. I know I have offended you today, and I fear I will not survive this ordeal. Before I die, could you grant me a moment to say a few final words to my friend?"

Cui Xiu finally stopped walking and slowly turned around.

His eerie purple eyes swept over Yu Luoning's pale face, and he chuckled, "Your last words?"

"Yes." Yu Luoning nodded.

She stood in the wind, her face now fully restored to its true form, her Taoist bun half-undone.

A strand of black hair fell across her forehead, brushing against her pale, snow-white cheek.

If an ordinary man saw this woman with eyes full of autumn water, a face that evokes pity, he would probably have already felt compassion.

Unfortunately, Choi Soo, the embodiment of evil, felt no pity whatsoever; instead, he was quite intrigued.

Yu Luoning observed Cui Xiu's reaction, her heart pounding.

She had been walking behind this person, deliberately brushing a stray hair from her forehead. Then, when the wind picked up, she called out to him, just so as not to waste this perfect moment.

But the flirtatious glances were cast at a blind man.

After pondering for a while, Cui Xiu, with a look of great compassion, said, "Alright. I'd also like to hear your last words."

"If your last words sound good, I might be in a good mood and spare your life."

As the heavenly sound rang out, Yu Luoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly took out the shimmering, iridescent conch shell from her spatial jade bracelet.

This is her last chance.

Yu Luoning originally intended to write a will, but she wanted to live too much.

With such terrifying strength, no one could save her except for Xing Qi, who was far away in the Taiyu Cangqiong Sect.

They're just using someone else's name to intimidate others and make grand pronouncements.

Hopefully, this person is wary of the upper sect and will therefore show her leniency.

Even if there was no hope, she wanted Xingqi to know who killed her, and she believed that Xingqi had the ability to find out.

At that moment, upon seeing the conch shell, Cui Xiu's previously nonchalant gaze sharpened, and her eyebrows twitched slightly.

Yu Luoning smiled nervously and said, "This is a conch shell that can be used for long-distance communication. I... I want to say a few last words to it."

"Don't worry, senior. I'm definitely not looking for help. I'm right in front of you. How could I dare to play any tricks? Besides, your strength is superb. Any schemes or tricks would be suicide in front of you."

The wide purple robe fluttered in the mountain wind, and Cui Xiu crossed her arms, neither agreeing nor making a move to stop it.

Seeing this, Yu Luoning was secretly delighted. Despite the oppressive feeling, she struck the conch shell.

The moment the call started, Xing Qi's delighted voice came from the other end: "Ningning? You finally decided to contact me?"

Yu Luoning's eyes reddened instantly, and her voice carried a palpable, suppressed fear.

Her voice was very clear; even with the howling mountain winds around her, her voice could still be clearly heard by Cui Xiu.

Yu Luoning said regretfully, "Xing'er, this may be the last time I contact you. I'm sorry I can't go to the Taiyu Cangqiong Sect in the outer realm to see you one last time."

Hey there, did you hear me?

It's the Taiyu Cangqiong Sect from the outer realms!

If the man before him came from another region, he must have heard of the renowned Taiyu Cangqiong Sect.

Yu Luoning also deliberately emphasized every word in the place name.

She secretly glanced at the purple-clad boss out of the corner of her eye.

But then they saw the man leaning leisurely against the tree trunk, his pale chest faintly visible beneath his purple robe.

He tilted his head, his eerie purple eyes quietly watching Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning felt a lump in her throat.

This generation of villains is really hard to manage! They've actually developed brains.

Yu Luoning took a deep breath and continued to sob as she looked at Xing Qi on the other end of the conch shell.

"I was trapped in a valley. There was a senior in purple clothes with amazing cultivation. I had never seen such terrifying power before."

It is because my cultivation is inferior to his that I am fortunate enough to die at the hands of such an unparalleled and elegant figure.

Please give my regards to the elders of the Shang clan, and tell them that Luo Ning is unfortunate and cannot go to the outer realms to offer his greetings.

On the other end of the conch shell, Xing Qi was nearly frantic: "Purple clothes? Who dares to touch you? Ningning, don't be afraid, I'll go beg my brother right now. Even if I can't get there myself, I'll use the power of the entire star to save you!"

Yu Luoning was so moved that she choked up.

She then secretly glanced at Cui Xiu.

Damn it, the man remained as still as a rock, making no move whatsoever.

Holy crap! The one I'm talking about is a powerful, top-tier sect from another region!

Why be so cold? Not even a hint of reaction.

Seeing that Cui Xiu's eyes were becoming increasingly playful, Yu Luoning steeled her heart and decided to unleash her ultimate killing move.
