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

Meanwhile, inside the greenhouse.

After Cui Xiu left, Bai Rongling stood there for a long time without moving.

His consciousness slowly sank into his dantian, qi sea, meridians, and sea of ​​consciousness, then swept over them inch by inch, leaving no detail untouched.

There was nothing unusual; everything inside his body was normal!

Bai Rongling slowly opened her eyes, her brows furrowing even deeper.

There was nothing there.

What exactly was Choi Soo doing just now?

The fact that he didn't kill me means I still have some use to him. So, what exactly is his value?

Choi Soo examined his lower abdomen. From the first day they met, she asked him if he had any discomfort and told him he could tell her anytime. This showed that what she was looking for was inside his body.

Bai Rongling stood quietly, her clear, untainted eyes sweeping over her surroundings.

A fragrant purple petal had somehow found its way onto his pure white, pristine clothes.

Bai Rongling stretched out her slender fingers, picked up the petal, and gently crushed it with a slight force.

The only things Yu Luoning, Cui Xiu, and he had ever experienced were the Myriad Emotions Array and the absurd dual cultivation.

Bai Rongling's pupils contracted slightly. Could it be that what Cui Xiu was looking for was related to that night?

It seems that we need to verify the facts step by step to solve the mystery.

Bai Rongling slowly lowered her eyes, her fingertips gently resting on her lower abdomen.

As long as what Choi Soo is looking for is on him, he will be safe and sound.

After the misunderstanding cleared up, the two returned to their previous relationship.

Yu Luoning, always adaptable, picked a bunch of violets from the greenhouse. The branches were neatly trimmed and wrapped in a layer of pale purple silk.

She tied a small bow to the stem of the flower, then stuffed the black sword-patterned stone that the mouse had carved earlier into the center of the bouquet. Only then did she nod in satisfaction, and carrying the bouquet, she ran to Cui Xiu.

Yu Luoning turned slightly to the side, raised the flowers to shoulder level with one hand, and handed them to Cui Xiu.

"I've been acting strangely these past few days. This is my apology."

Cui Xiu looked down at the bunch of violets in front of her and remained silent for a long time.

His gaze fell on the flowers, then shifted to the woman's clear, watery eyes.

"That's strange. I thought you'd continue this stalemate with me?"

Yu Luoning immediately shook her head, "No, I misunderstood you, of course I have to apologize."

As she spoke, she pushed the flowers forward a little further. "Look, this bunch of violets is something I picked especially for you. Please accept it, and let's not argue anymore."

Cui Xiu stared at her intently, her hands twitching slightly at her sides, and her voice involuntarily became hurried.

"I need to think about it."

Yu Luoning wailed, "I still have to think about it? Oh well, who told me to fall for you, you vixen? If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say a single soft word."

Cui Xiu chuckled, "Sweet talk."

Yu Luoning: "What sweet talk? It's clearly my sincere intention."

Cui Xiu glanced at her helplessly, then finally reached out and took the flowers.

He gently parted the petals and saw the Dao pattern stone engraved with a black sword hidden in the center.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, he remembered that he was an evil corpse and was not favored by the Heavenly Dao.

I'd rather he didn't touch this patterned stone than let it turn to dust.

Cui Xiu paused slightly with her fingertips, then carefully placed the flower and the Dao pattern stone into the deep space of her storage ring.

"Since it's an apology, I... will accept it."

Yu Luoning's eyes lit up. "So we're back to normal now, right?"

Choi Soo hummed in response, her face devoid of any smile, but a hint of blush crept onto the tips of her ears.

Yu Luoning was overjoyed and asked again in disbelief, "Really?"

Cui Xiu sighed helplessly, "Really."

"Then you're not allowed to keep things from me suddenly anymore."

Cui Xiu was silent for a moment. "There are reasons why I won't tell you some things. However, if you have any doubts in the future, you can ask me directly. Don't overthink things on your own, especially don't question my... orientation."

Yu Luoning grinned. "Deal."

She extended her palm and said, "Then let's make a pact with a high five."

Cui Xiu lowered her eyes, looking at the delicate and slender fingers in front of her, and finally raised her hand to gently clap her palms together.

Yu Luoning chuckled, and as their fingers touched, he grabbed Cui Xiu's hand, gently squeezing his fingertips between Cui Xiu's fingers, their fingers interlocking, looking smugly like he had won a prize.

Cui Xiu's thin lips moved slightly; a thousand words could not express the emotion of this moment.

That night, Yu Luoning moved back to Cui Xiu's palace, taking the fiery silk quilt with her.

……

They cultivated together during the day and slept in the same bed at night, their feelings for each other growing stronger than before.

After his cultivation level rose to the Purple Mansion Realm, Yu Luoning finally understood what it meant to be reborn.

In a flash, her figure disappeared a hundred feet away.

The technique of escaping into the void has been further improved and strengthened.

Previously, it required a moment to gather spiritual energy to cast a spell, and encountering a high-level cultivator could easily lead to interruption. But now, with just a thought, one can travel a hundred miles in an instant.

Yu Luoning slowly clenched his fist, releasing an invisible pressure from within his body.

This is the Purple Mansion Divine Light of the Purple Mansion Mirror.

Within a radius of ten zhang, the spiritual energy stagnated slightly, and the swirling snow seemed to slow down a bit.

Previously, she could only feel the pressure emanating from others, but now she also has her own domain of pressure.

Cui Xiu stood aside and nodded slightly upon seeing this. "Not bad. You've only just entered the Purple Mansion Realm, yet you can already unleash a ten-zhang pressure. However, it's still far from enough. You need to learn to control the power of your domain, like this."

After saying that, Cui Xiu raised his hand and waved it. In an instant, the domain belonging to the Mahayana stage suddenly spread out, and the wind and snow on the entire Zhexue Peak completely stopped at that moment.

Yu Luoning's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the snowflakes hovering in the air and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Both are domains, but her domain is just beginning, while Cui Xiu's domain has already become an independent small world, and he is the only true god in that world.

"Did you see that clearly? The truly terrifying aspect of a domain is not suppression, but mastery of the rules of this area."

Yu Luoning nodded thoughtfully.

Not far away, Bai Rongling stood quietly in a corner of the Ice Palace corridor. He did not make a sound, but simply watched the two people in the snow.

He watched as Cui Xiu guided and corrected his moves from the side.

Yu Luoning seemed to have grasped something, but sometimes acted according to her own ideas.

When she made a mistake, Cui Xiu frowned and taught her again and again, patiently and tirelessly.

Bai Rongling, standing to the side, saw everything and also noticed something else.

Cui Xiu showed no impatience, and Yu Luoning showed no fear.

Not only did she dare to talk back and argue with Cui Xiu, but she even complained that the moves he taught her were outdated and demanded that Cui Xiu create new moves that were both beautiful and practical for her. She also wanted Cui Xiu to suppress his cultivation level to the same level as hers, and then... they would fight!

That's right, this kind of unorthodox fighting was something Bai Rongling had only ever seen in young children.

But the two of them just couldn't get enough of it.

You push me, I slap you, back and forth, and finally we hug each other...

These interactions all demonstrate that the two have an equal relationship.

Bai Rongling didn't quite understand. His understanding of Yu Luoning came only from the day of the Soul Search and the few days in the Ten Thousand Emotions Array.

Seeing someone through divine sense and actually interacting with them are two different things.

Bai Rongling still couldn't understand why Cui Xiu would fall in love with a fickle woman.

This remains to be seen...
