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

"I'll ask you one more time: will you do it or not?"

Cui Xiu's demonic energy surged, and his purple pupils flashed with murderous intent. "You don't actually think I wouldn't dare kill you, do you?"

Bai Rongling showed no fear whatsoever; a mocking smile played on his thin lips beneath the mask.

"Kill me? Do you dare? If I die, the great formation will completely collapse, and you'll lose your last chance to save her."

Cui Xiu's breath hitched, and the deep look in her eyes intensified.

Bai Rongling chuckled softly, slowly prying open his fingers, a dark glint flashing in her clear, cold eyes.

Bai Rongling slowly straightened her clothes and said, "If you want me to take action, you must first answer one question. We outsiders, upon first arriving at the Eastern Treasure Continent, were firmly suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage by the Heavenly Dao of this world. Yet you clearly possess power far exceeding the limits of this world, so why hasn't the Heavenly Dao sent down a tribulation to suppress you?"

Cui Xiu laughed angrily, staring at him and saying, "What? Trying to figure out my trump card?"

Bai Rongling remained silent for a moment. This was something he had been considering for a long time, after all, he couldn't just die silently in such a filthy formation.

Bai Rongling: "I never do business at a loss. Whether you tell me or not is up to you."

Cui Xiu's eyes grew even more profound. "What harm is there in telling you? Listen carefully, I am nothing but a wicked corpse without destiny and not subject to reincarnation."

Bai Rongling's pupils suddenly contracted.

A monstrous corpse?

The technique of severing the three corpses to become a saint is a forbidden skill that only exists in ancient mythology and can only be accessed by the gods.

The demon before them was actually a wicked corpse that had been slain by a supreme being.

Cui Xiu continued, "I am merely a wisp of evil thought stripped away and discarded by that person. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, I should not even exist. How can the rules of the Heavenly Dao suppress an existence that doesn't even have a complete divine soul and destiny?"

Bai Rongling was surprised.

The jade mask covering his face appeared extremely alluring in the dim light.

Bai Rongling then said, "If you want me to save her willingly, fine, but I want 30% of your evil corpse essence."

Cui Xiu's pupils contracted, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "You really know how to ask for the moon!"

"Agree or disagree, it's up to you. Either we all perish together!"

Yu Luoning's mind was foggy at the moment, and she couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

So Cui Xiu was an evil corpse after all.

No wonder she has such a terrible temper; she's not human when it comes to emotions.

If the two of them reach an agreement, will I be able to avoid death? And will I be able to copy the cultivation technique from Bai Rongling?

Yu Luoning couldn't quite describe her feelings, which made things difficult for Cui Xiu.

What is the origin of the 30% evil corpses?

Choi Soo must have paid a heavy price!

Yu Luoning's heart clenched suddenly, and a subtle, tender emotion quietly began to grow within her.

If she can get out alive, Cui Xiu will restrain her temper and be willing to live peacefully with Shi Shangxu and Xiao Fenghuang. She will definitely not let him down.

At that moment, Cui Xiu gave Yu Luoning a deep look.

He said in an extremely calm voice, "Very well. I'll give it to you."

The next moment, Cui Xiu suddenly raised his hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and deeply pulled out a mass of evil corpse essence radiating terrifying pressure from his chest.

The evil corpse is a product of obsession taking form. Stripping it of its origin is like digging out its heart with bare hands, forcibly pulling out a wisp of the originally inseparable soul, causing unbearable pain.

But Cui Xiu pulled it out forcefully without making a sound.

His once stunningly handsome face turned deathly pale, and his arrogant purple eyes seemed to dim slightly in that instant.

Bai Rongling's eyes widened, her astonishment barely concealed beneath her cool mask.

How could a monstrous corpse be moved to such an extent?

He's still after such a fickle and shameless woman.

For a moment, Bai Rongling felt a pang of sadness.

"What kind of look is that?" Cui Xiu suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze turning cold.

Bai Rongling sneered and said, "I just think you're incredibly foolish. You're willing to abandon even your own self for a fickle woman."

Cui Xiu stepped forward, his brows already frosty, his voice chilling, "Shut up! My power is naturally my own. Even if she has a thousand faults, she is still my woman, and it's not your place, you pretty boy, to interfere."

Bai Rongling slowly shook her head, her eyes filled with indifferent mockery.

This person is so dull-witted that there is no cure.

Don't talk too much with him, lest you catch the infection.

Bai Rongling absorbed a mass of evil corpse essence from the Mahayana stage into his body. After receiving this divine power, the cultivation that was originally sealed by the Heavenly Dao began to loosen and crumble.

After the fusion was complete, Bai Rongling walked step by step toward Yu Luoning.

Despite the pain emanating from the depths of her soul, Cui Xiuqiang stared intently at Bai Rongling's every move.

Noticing that gaze, Bai Rongling suddenly tilted her head, looking at him coldly and calmly, "What? Do you still want to observe?"

Cui Xiu was so angry that her eyes turned red and her chest heaved violently.

He abruptly flicked his sleeve, gritted his teeth, and turned away.

Bai Rongling chuckled, withdrew her gaze, formed a hand seal, and a barrier rose from the ground, enveloping her and Yu Luoning.

The pink mist surrounding the barrier was so thick it was impossible to disperse.

Bai Rongling slowly walked over, her slender fingers gently untying the intricate sash, causing the snow-white robe to fall away, revealing the man's strong back and shapely legs.

A faint, alluring blush slowly rose from the pristine, jade-like body.

Yu Luoning blinked, only to feel a shadow slowly pressing down on her head, obscuring all her vision.

Bai Rongling had long been tormented to the brink of collapse by the Creation Divine Water, and at this moment she could no longer suppress it.

His fingertips went limp as he slowly removed the woman's clothes.

At this moment, Yu Luoning felt as if a refreshing spring had flowed into her body.

She coiled around his waist like a snake, her fingers tracing the contours of his skin.

Outside the barrier, Cui Xiu stood with his back to the frosty white light screen. He couldn't hear any sound, but two deeply intertwined, passionately entwined silhouettes kept appearing in his mind.

Cui Xiu closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and her eyes were bloodshot.

He didn't know how long he had been waiting, and this was the first time he had ever suffered so much.

There was another person who was suffering greatly.

Ten thousand miles away, Yue Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

His skin was as white as paper, and the pain of his soul being cleaved in two, which came from the evil corpse, was unsurprisingly transmitted to him.

The physical and mental pain made him tremble all over, and a look of unprecedented confusion and absurdity flashed in Yue Qi's eyes.

Why is this happening?

Why did Choi Soo go to such lengths?

In his pursuit of the supreme Dao, he severed his evil thoughts and transformed into the evil corpse Cui Xiu.

In his mind, Choi Soo should be a monster who is ruthless and extremely selfish.

Yet this monster, who inherited all his evil thoughts, actually extracted thirty percent of his evil essence for a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.

He will no longer have the strength to contend with the original body. In a few decades or at most a hundred years, Cui Xiu's independent personality will be completely erased by him.

This is... love?

Yue Qi raised his head slightly, his cold eyes lost in the mist.

Before he could even process this absurd emotion.

Even across thousands of miles, Cui Xiu's bittersweet emotions were once again transmitted to him.

He was suppressing his feelings, harboring resentment, and exercising restraint.

He said, "You're not allowed to touch her."

He said, "Kill that pretty boy!"

"You've messed up!"

A clear voice spread out from Cui Xiu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Cui Xiu suddenly opened her eyes and said fiercely, "None of your business!"

"You will disappear."

"I'd be happy to. I can be as hypocritical as you. You spend all day looking before and after, weighing the pros and cons, living like a saint, it's so boring. I always act according to my heart, and I hold on tightly to what I want. So what if I'm doomed? At least I've enjoyed myself."

At this point, Cui Xiu gritted her teeth and spat out a vicious remark.

"It's just that you got the better deal, benefited from my influence, and experienced the wonderful taste of the seven emotions and six desires. I'm really looking forward to the day when you develop an obsession, yearning for something but unable to get it. Then we'll see how you pretend to be indifferent and how you become detached from desires."

He was seething with anger and didn't know where to vent it, so he seized the opportunity to unleash a torrent of profanities on someone who didn't know better.

He laughed wildly, his eyes filled with malice.

But all that responded to him was silence in his mind. It turned out that the person did not argue at all and directly severed their shared consciousness.

Cui Xiu's lips curled slightly, and she cursed, "Coward!"
