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

[It is not recommended to listen to the audiobook for this chapter!]

Inside the barrier, dim light and shadow flickered.

Bai Rongling kept her eyes tightly closed.

He convinced himself that it was all just a deal to obtain the essence of the evil corpse, just a charade to break the formation.

He cultivated the path of purity and righteousness, and always prided himself on being spotless.

Before this, he had genuinely despised this lustful female cultivator who was surrounded by men.

But at this moment, he could only silently despise himself.

Because he... actually developed a strong craving for a body he despised.

The more his reason resisted, the stronger his body's craving became.

Tormented by the conflict between her physical and mental well-being, Bai Rongling's long, beautiful eyes suddenly widened...

Yu Luoning's long eyelashes blinked twice.

If skills were ranked, this masked man would undoubtedly be ranked last.

"..."

Bai Rongling seemed deeply insulted, and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, "Shut up."

Oh dear, that hit a nerve.

Yu Luoning ignored it.

Honestly, if it weren't for the masked man's exceptional skills, she wouldn't have wanted to have any close contact with him.

Injuring Shi Shangxu and forcibly searching his own soul—this is an unforgivable crime.

What's more, the two of them have been messing around here for ages, and she hasn't even seen what the other person looks like. It's such a waste.

"Don't you feel suffocated wearing a mask?" Yu Luoning asked, panting.

"If you take off your mask and fall in love with me, what if you become attached to me?" Bai Rongling asked in a low, hoarse voice, her eyes closed.

But the arrogance in his words was incredibly irritating.

Yu Luoning was so angry she almost laughed. Her understanding of this masked man was completely overturned; it turned out he was just an ordinary man from the cultivation world.

"How good-looking do you have to be for me to cling to you?"

Bai Rongling remained noncommittal.

Yu Luoning was furious, and sneered, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. My standards may not be high, but I'm not so desperate as to be picky."

She gently touched his cold mask with her soft hand, slowly about to remove it.

She wanted to see if there were bull-headed and horse-faced monsters, or blue-faced monsters with fangs, growing under that mask.

As she moved, her jet-black hair cascaded down to her high, rounded mouth, a striking contrast between white and black.

Bai Rongling looked at her, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought that this was probably how others felt when they looked at him.

Just as he was momentarily distracted, the mask was lifted to reveal the lower half of his face.

With a refined and superior jawline and perfectly proportioned bone structure, even just revealing half of his face makes him a top-tier beauty.

A strange sense of amazement flashed through Yu Luoning's mind.

Could it be that this person is telling the truth, and that he really does have an exceptionally beautiful face?

Just as she was about to rip off the entire mask to see the whole picture.

Bai Rongling reached out and pressed down on her wrist, his lips parting slightly as he said, "No, you can't."

The tone was so light, as if to say, "Showing you half my face is already a reward."

Yu Luoning was speechless and immediately lost interest.

Seeing that the person refused, they did not force him.

Even seeing half a face is good; he must be a handsome young man. This makes it easier to immerse oneself in the story.

口口口口

Bai Rongling's breath hitched.

The next moment, the long-awaited rain came.

If Bai Rongling initially maintained a superior attitude, ...

Yes, it's fast but has a strong recovery ability.

... (Three thousand words omitted here!! Deleted and revised repeatedly! I chickened out!)

Yu Luoning was distracted, observing the illustrations in her sea of ​​consciousness.

The page belonging to Bai Rongling was covered with densely written text that glowed.

Yu Luoning's mouth was watering from the craving.

Damn it! Why can't this crappy system have a one-click copy function? Why can't it copy one at a time? Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for users?

How is she supposed to choose?

Whether it's water escape techniques or various magical artifacts, they're all captivating.

[Ding, Water Release Technique successfully copied! All things are water, circulating through the heavens as energy, combining offense and defense, capable of both defense and attack.]

[Ding! The technique of grafting flowers and trees has been successfully copied, allowing for the shifting of stars and the substitution of life and death!]

Note: The karmic burdens of the soul cannot be replaced; this life-or-death substitution can only be used three times in a lifetime.

【…】

After successfully replicating the two spells, Yu Luoning calmed down.

……

Bai Rongling's breathing became disordered...

He kept convincing himself that it was all just to break the formation, a transaction mixed with interests.

I just hope this damned formation will let him go soon.

However, there was no sign of the great formation being broken.

Bai Rongling vaguely sensed something was wrong. He withdrew a wisp of his consciousness, looked up at the outside of the barrier, gritted his teeth, and said coldly, "Don't you find it strange? The conditions have been met, so why hasn't the great formation been broken?"

Yu Luoning was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Perhaps you were too reserved. You didn't appear sincere or immersed enough..."

Bai Rongling's expression froze slightly.

"That remnant soul mentioned before that it requires an immersive Yin-Yang balance. You've treated me like a tool to break the formation from beginning to end; you must be really annoyed with me deep down!"

Bai Rongling was speechless, feeling humiliated and embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed.

He abruptly turned his face away. Amidst the intertwining purplish-red spiritual energy within the barrier, his jet-black hair cascaded down his back, and his pale skin, like flawless jade, trembled slightly with extreme restraint.

Yu Luoning glanced at her and scoffed, "Looking at you, people would think you've suffered some great injustice?"

To be honest, I don't have a good impression of you either. After this matter is over, let's part ways. Now, cheer up and get out of this predicament as soon as possible.

Bai Rongling's voice was somewhat bewildered and helpless: "I...I've done my best."

"not enough."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Bai Rongling asked, her tone somewhat unpleasant.

Undeterred, Yu Luoning leaned closer, grabbed the other person's chin, and turned their face towards him.

A smile played on her lips as she said flippantly, "To be honest, you're nowhere near as good as my men."

Bai Rongling suddenly took a deep breath.

Yu Luoning's gaze drifted downwards, and she slowly said, "To be honest, your skills are far from good. I'd give you eight words: all show and no substance, utterly useless."

Bai Rongling stared intently at her, her once cool eyes now dark and unfathomable.

"All show and no substance, unfit for any real task?"

Bai Rongling laughed in anger, grabbed Yu Luoning's wrist, and pinned him down.

"Alright, alright. I look forward to your guidance from now on!"

This time, however, there was no more weighing of the trades, only the issuance of the offer.

A pure possessiveness was completely aroused.

Give up!

Bai Rongling demonstrated an overwhelming advantage in this extreme tug-of-war.

……

Yu Luoning gritted her teeth and refused to admit defeat.

He secretly popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth, and only after the pill dissolved and relieved his fatigue did he let out a long sigh of relief.

This is nothing! We've only copied two!

There's probably no chance like this again, and this person must hate himself to death.

With a soft sound in her mind, Yu Luoning's lips curled up slightly.

She successfully replicated the Hunyuan Soft Light Robe.

Originally, this robe could only protect against the prying eyes of those two realms higher than herself, but now, with the advanced version, it can protect her from prying eyes of even higher realm experts as her cultivation level increases in the future.

Moreover, it seems to be able to randomly trigger a bug that allows one to deceive the heavens and tamper with cause and effect.

This robe is practically a cheat code.

Yu Luoning's lips curved into a smile, her heart filled with joy, and she became even more engrossed.

……

Just then

The powdery mist suddenly disappeared.

The heavy force of the laws pressing down on the dome slowly dissipated.

The next moment, a voice that had been suppressed for a long time came, "Pretty boy, you stop for me."

.........

In a flash, Bai Rongling made a hand seal, and with a flash of inspiration, the robes on the ground were already neatly dressed.

Even when dressed neatly, they couldn't hide the traces of their intimate moments.

This person's hair was disheveled and hanging down, and his neck, which was as white as jade, and his slightly exposed collar were covered with the same red marks.

Cui Xiu was absolutely furious.

Looking at Yu Luoning next to him, her face was rosy, as if she had been severely humiliated.

At this point, Cui Xiu had become so jealous and resentful that he was unrecognizable.

Even though I had mentally prepared myself for this, seeing it in person still caused me immense pain.

Just as Cui Xiu was about to lose his temper, a crisp applause came from the void.
