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

The air fell silent instantly.

Bai Rongling: "..."

Choi Soo: "..."

Mo Fei: "??"

At this moment, Yu Luoning realized what was happening, and her face immediately turned red.

"Oh, you guys had a lot of fun inside, didn't you?"

At this moment, no amount of black could describe Cui Xiu's ugly expression. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Rongling with a cold gaze.

Bai Rongling's expression quickly returned to calm after a moment of distraction, and he said calmly, "It was just to save someone."

"Does saving someone require hugging and cuddling? Does saving someone require you to sleep in the same bed?"

Yu Luoning was shocked. How did Cui Xiu know so much detail?

Mo Fei, unable to bear watching any longer, quickly stepped over and whispered, "Sister Ning, the Venerable One just took out a magical mirror and projected all the images of you in your sea of ​​consciousness..."

"Did he see all of this during the days we were in the sea of ​​consciousness?" Yu Luoning's heart was breaking.

"That's right, His Majesty was watching, without even blinking."

"You have no idea how I've gotten through these past few days..."

Yu Luoning's heart skipped a beat, and she took a deep breath.

She quickly tried to think about whether she had done anything inappropriate these days. After thinking for a long time, it seemed that apart from a few light touches and pretending to be husband and wife for a few days, there was nothing else. She then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Bai Rongling remained calm and composed despite Cui Xiu's murderous gaze.

"If Your Majesty is concerned about even this, then you'll likely be constantly jealous in the future."

Cui Xiu's temple throbbed, and spiritual energy was already gathering in his palm.

But he seemed to think of something, forcibly suppressing his murderous intent, forcefully flicking his sleeve and turning his back.

Just then, Mo Yuntian also suddenly woke up, though he had not yet fully regained consciousness.

Upon opening his eyes and seeing Bai Rongling in front of him, he immediately greeted her with a smile, "Changyi."

Then, turning her gaze to Yu Luoning, she said, "Shuang'er, you two have worked hard."

The old man was quite good at making trouble; his shout came out so naturally that Cui Xiu, who was already on the verge of exploding, became even more furious.

"Old man, what did you say?!"

This angry shout startled Mo Fei, who was supporting Mo Yuntian tightly, so much that his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

Mo Fei quickly begged for mercy, "Your...Your Excellency, please calm down. My grandfather is old and senile. Please don't take it to heart."

The commotion finally brought Mo Yuntian back to his senses.

As the surrounding scenery and memories flooded back, he suddenly realized that he had been trapped in an illusion all along.

Before he could even figure out what was going on, Mo Fei hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Grandpa, I'll explain to you later. Anyway, we owe a lot to Sister Ning and her two friends this time. Otherwise, I would have had to prepare for your funeral."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuntian suddenly understood.

He looked at Yu Luoning and the others in front of him with a solemn expression, pushed Mo Fei aside, and bowed deeply to the three of them.

"I am Mo Yuntian, and I thank you three young friends for saving my life. If it weren't for your help, I would have been annihilated, both in body and soul."

Yu Luoning: "No need to be so polite. Senior is Mo Fei's family, so he is my family too. It is only right that I help him."

Mo Yuntian was deeply moved.

Mo Fei lost both parents at a young age and lived with him all his life, unknowingly becoming spoiled and unruly.

Mo Yuntian was often filled with fear, but seeing that he had made such a capable friend, he couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.

His grandson is even more successful than he imagined.

After everyone finished clearing away the remaining soul-guiding array, Mo Yuntian invited everyone to the inner room, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.

After setting up a soundproof array, he finally spoke.

"To be honest, the reason I was forcibly possessed by that old Taoist from another region was because they wanted to use my body to secretly search for the Phoenix bloodline for them."

Upon hearing this, the air in the room momentarily froze.

All eyes fell on Yu Luoning at the same time.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Yu Luoning finally dispelled the black mist by activating the Phoenix True Fire.

Yu Luoning frowned. "Why are they searching for the Phoenix bloodline?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but the old Taoist once inadvertently revealed that finding the Phoenix bloodline would open the Phoenix Ancient City."

It seems they're heading to the ruins in search of something extremely important; the rest, I know nothing about.

Mo Fei blinked, looking at Yu Luoning with some worry, "Sister Ning, do you think those people might follow the clues and come after you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning scoffed, "Let them come. Are you afraid of them?"

As she spoke, Yu Luoning's voice grew weaker.

I wonder what kind of background this foreign cultivator has. I can't live under Cui Xiu's protection forever.

First, there were the enemies of Wanqingdao, and now, inexplicably, a group of dangerous individuals searching for the Phoenix bloodline have appeared.

Good heavens, why is she so unlucky? Does she think she's some kind of jinx?

With the matter concluded, the three bid farewell to the Mo family grandfather and grandson and returned to Zhexue Peak.

Just then, Bai Rongling, who was walking at the very back, suddenly swayed and her steps became unsteady.

He had previously expended a great deal of his primordial spirit power to activate the Soul-Guiding Technique and enter the sea of ​​consciousness to save people, and now he was at his limit and could no longer hold on.

Upon seeing this, Yu Luoning instinctively prepared to help him up, but a figure was faster than her.

Cui Xiu's eyes darkened, and before Yu Luoning's fingertips could touch Bai Rongling's clothes, he grabbed Bai Rongling by the collar and lifted her up.

Cui Xiu frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, but she did not let go.

As if struck by a thought, he directly condensed a silvery-white spiritual aura and then patted it towards Bai Rongling.

In a short while, Bai Rongling's primordial spirit was stabilized, and the dizziness in her mind quickly subsided.

He looked at Cui Xiu suspiciously, his voice hoarse, "Thank you."

Yu Luoning saw this and thought that for Cui Xiu to care so much, Bai Rongling must have something very important to him.

By the way, 30% of it is the origin of evil corpses!

We must find a chance to make Bai Rongling return it to Cui Xiu!

Meanwhile, in the distant outer realms, thousands of miles away...

On a black altar, one of the soul lamps suddenly lit up, and the old man in the center of the altar suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The attempt to possess the body failed! The soul suffered a severe backlash!

Fortunately, something even more important was discovered.

"Miss, although the possession attempt failed, this old servant has found the Phoenix bloodline, which is the key to unlocking the Phoenix Ancient City."

At this moment, directly in front of him was a woman with white hair and white eyes.

Just as her appearance gave off an extremely cold feeling, there was no warmth in her eyes either.

Only when he heard the words "phoenix bloodline" did a morbid fanaticism appear in his white eyes.

"The Phoenix bloodline has been found! Finally found!"

The woman spoke, her voice hoarse:

"Looks like it's time to make a trip myself. Toho Continent? Heh!"
