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

Choi Soo smirked maliciously, "Happy? Of course I'm happy."

The little fish in the pond finally realized he wasn't the only one and started swimming away. I was truly delighted.

"You bastard!"

Yu Luoning was furious and wished she could punch this despicable guy to death.

In the past, she would have been trembling with fear when facing this capricious and eccentric man.

But human nature is so subtle; those who are favored are always fearless.

After learning that Cui Xiu had developed feelings for her, Yu Luoning, taking advantage of Cui Xiu's indulgence, began to disregard the difference in their status and strength, and became unrestrained.

This is not a good sign.

However, when people are angry, they are prone to losing their rationality.

For example, at this moment, Yu Luoning's eyes widened, and he sneered: "You think that just because you've done dual cultivation, you're mine? That I'll just take you in naturally? Let me tell you, that's impossible."

Even if I lose Shi Shangxu, there are still hundreds or thousands of good men behind me. As for you, you can get in line.

Cui Xiu stared intently at her, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

Yu Luoning, as if she hadn't had enough, continued to sneer and use the most hurtful words to say, "You're not even worth a single hair on his head. Who would like a demon like you? Let me tell you, I could never easily fall in love with anyone who has tried to kill me or threatened me."

Cui Xiu's body suddenly stiffened.

"What I did for you..."

"For me?"

Yu Luoning chuckled as if she had just realized something, her eyes filled with disdain.

Her mind was filled with the broken and lonely figure of Shi Shangxu when he left, and the guilt in her heart made her want to vent her anger on the instigator in front of her.

Yu Luoning said, "You lost thirty percent of your evil corpse essence for me? Don't make yourself sound so noble and great. If you hadn't saved me, you would all have been trapped in that Myriad Emotions Array for life and turned into bones. In the end, you were just trying to save your own life."

Choi Soo's purple eyes narrowed slightly.

He was also extremely angry, and the surrounding purplish-black demonic energy suddenly turned into several bolts of lightning, shattering the rocks within a radius of a hundred miles.

Yet, this demon god's angry appearance is also breathtakingly beautiful.

Cui Xiu's face was still somewhat pale, but at this moment, due to extreme anger and resentment, a faint red tinge rose around her eyes, giving off a bewitching and broken feeling.

Upon seeing this, Yu Luoning suddenly felt guilty and subconsciously glanced away, regretting that she had spoken too harshly.

What does it mean for a malevolent corpse to have three layers of its original malevolent essence forcibly stripped away? Yu Luoning didn't know, but she knew the price must be high.

It's a tangled mess that's impossible to unravel.

Looking at Cui Xiu, who was eerily quiet, Yu Luoning felt a moment of panic.

But words spoken are words that cannot be taken back.

Cui Xiu chuckled, breaking the silence: "You're quick-witted, that's right. If I hadn't saved you, how could you have escaped that great formation?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Luoning took out the black greatsword from the spatial jade bracelet.

With a flick of his finger, the jet-black longsword silently floated between the two of them.

"Whatever your initial intentions, I ultimately benefited from your choice." Yu Luoning looked directly at him and said earnestly, "I'm returning this sword to you as a token of my gratitude for saving me."

Little did she know that in Cui Xiu's eyes, her actions meant she was trying to draw a line between them.

Cui Xiu was well aware of how much Yu Luoning coveted his sword. But now that he had the black sword in his hands, he didn't want it anymore.

Cui Xiu snorted coldly, the chill in his eyes intensifying. "You're just going to throw away the benefits you obtained by threatening to kill yourself? Since you don't want them, neither do I!"

Before the words were finished, the black sword emitted a pitiful buzzing sound in the air.

Cui Xiu gave her a cold glance, his eyes filled with unfathomable emotions. The next moment, his figure flickered and disappeared into the void.

Only the black sword continued to hum, finally flying slowly back to Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning scratched her head and had no choice but to put the sword away again. She squatted on the ground in distress and slapped her forehead hard.

Inside the Qiankun bag lay a white jade box emanating a chilling aura, with the black sword on one side and the white jade box on the other.

Yu Luoning sighed deeply. Retribution had finally come for her; perhaps this was the price of being too affectionate.

She is truly a thoroughly wicked woman!

Yu Luoning gave a self-deprecating bitter smile.

He sighed and continued walking down the mountain.

The mountain breeze, carrying a chill, brushed against her face, clearing her mind. She couldn't help but despise herself.

He's already cultivating immortality, yet he's still indulging in romantic relationships; it's utterly disgraceful for transmigrators.

If you're going to go down the path of a bad woman, you should go all the way.

Just as Yu Luoning was lost in thought, an extremely sharp blade of light suddenly came hurtling towards her.

It turned out to be a rogue cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Seeing Yu Luoning walking alone, he couldn't resist the temptation to be greedy.

"Little girl, if you know what's good for you, hand over all your magical treasures."

The rogue cultivator grinned maliciously and continued, "Looking at your beautiful face, it would be a pity if you died. How about becoming my Daoist partner?"

Yu Luoning's gaze sharpened, and all the distracting thoughts in her mind vanished.

"You toad, you're ugly, but you have such beautiful dreams."

Yu Luoning assumed a defensive stance, her fingertips about to form a hand seal, but before she could actually make a move, the rogue cultivator opposite her suddenly turned deathly pale, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Senior, spare my life!" The rogue cultivator's legs went weak, and he abandoned his knife, scrambling away as he fled.

Yu Luoning was slightly startled. Looking at the empty woods, she immediately realized what had happened.

She didn't believe that she could make someone retreat without a fight just by standing there; that person must have seen something terrifying.

Could it be that Cui Xiu hasn't left yet?

Yu Luoning looked around, but all she could hear was the sound of the wind rustling through the trees and the occasional howls of monsters in the distance.

Yu Luoning cleared her throat dramatically and called out to the air, "Cui Xiu! Cui the vixen! Are you still there?"

No one responded.

Yu Luoning sighed and remained silent.

It's good to calm down, everyone.

She turned around and continued walking forward, taking out the communication jade slip she used to contact Lu Feishuang as she went, and sending a divine sense message into it.

"Feishuang, did Shi Shangxu come to find you? I'm waiting for you to meet up on that nameless mountain in the southwest."

The message jade slip that Lu Feishuang sent her was delayed by one hour due to the influence of the array and distance.

An hour later, Lu Feishuang picked up the jade slip.

After reading the message from Yu Luoning, just as he was about to put away the jade slip, he suddenly sensed something and saw a tall, slender figure walking slowly along the mountain path amidst the misty mountain air.

This was the time of Shang.

At this moment, he looked extremely disheveled and dejected.

Those usually gentle eyes were now filled with an unyielding loneliness.

Upon seeing this, Lu Feishuang, Lu Mingyu, and Mo Fei were speechless.
