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

Rewind to the time when the seven families from the outer realms besieged the Upper East Treasure Sect.

At Zhe Xuefeng, Bai Rongling was sitting upright in the collapsed palace, healing her injuries.

Cui Xiu's palm strike was almost merciless, not only injuring his meridians but also causing significant damage to his dantian.

Strands of spiritual energy flowed slowly through his meridians into his limbs and bones, circulating for several cycles before he felt much better.

As if she had thought of something, Bai Rongling calmed down again and carefully examined her Qi Sea, only to find that it was empty.

There was no eerie cyclone as described in the book.

Bai Rongling slowly opened her eyes. On that day in front of Cui Xiu, he had only spoken ambiguously to save his own life.

Whether it was a case of one unborn child and two deaths, or one unborn child and one death, even he himself was unsure.

But as his injuries gradually stabilized over the past few days, he began to realize that something was wrong.

I do not have any of the symptoms described in the book, and my cultivation level has not regressed.

The result is clear: he was not pregnant at all.

Bai Rongling lowered her eyes, looking at her lower abdomen, her hand unconsciously touching it.

Logically, I should have breathed a sigh of relief, but now that it's confirmed, I have an indescribable feeling.

Before he could even think it through, he was faced with a more pressing problem.

If Cui Xiu finds out, his death is imminent.

Cui Xiu has no time to deal with him right now, because the seven families from the outer region are putting pressure on him. Once this storm passes, the tests that are bound to come will still come.

Bai Rongling's eyes darkened slightly as she remained at Zhexue Peak, much like before.

Suddenly, a tall, slender figure appeared silently in the room.

Bai Rongling frowned slightly upon recognizing the person who had arrived. "It's you? I thought Cui Xiu's palm strike had sent you flying to the ends of the earth."

Shen Shui Shu Peng wasn't annoyed by what he was being said. He simply opened his fan and slowly waved it twice. "Judging from Ninth Young Master's tone, he seems to harbor quite a bit of resentment."

Bai Rongling looked at him coldly, while Shenshui Shupeng's smile became even more innocent.

He spread his hands and said, "This can't be entirely my fault. Cui Xiu's palm strike was really hard to take. I was injured for quite some time before I could finally come out to see people. As soon as I heard that our Young Master Bai Jiu was imprisoned on Zhexue Peak, I came to rescue you without saying a word."

Bai Rongling: "I thought you came to see if I was dead."

"Pah, pah, pah, how can you say such discouraging things, young master?" Shenshui Shupeng put away his folding fan and patted his mouth twice.

After a moment of silence, Bai Rongling asked, "How did you get up here?"

Zhexue Peak is protected by a barrier, making it a place that ordinary people cannot enter at will.

Shenshui Shupeng raised his chin and said, "The seven families outside are almost tearing Dongbao Shangzong apart. Cui Xiu isn't even on the peak. If we don't leave now, are we going to wait for him to come back?"

At this point, Shenshui Shupeng chuckled and teased, "Or is it that Ninth Young Master is truly prepared to stay here and serve as someone's concubine?"

Bai Rongling's eyes suddenly turned cold. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."

Shenshui Shupeng closed his mouth reluctantly, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

The most beautiful young master in the Nine Realms, Bai Jiu, was stopped by someone to become a concubine. When he heard this news, he laughed for three days.

Bai Rongling took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry.

He looked up and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Shenshui Shupeng raised an eyebrow: "Young Master Bai Jiu is indeed a smart man. This time, your essence and blood and dantian are seriously injured. Ordinary spiritual medicines can treat the injuries, but cannot cure the root cause. I know a place that can."

Bai Rongling remained silent. "Where?"

Phoenix Ancient Town.

/

At this moment, Zhexue Peak is deserted and there is no one there.

Bai Rongling disappeared. To be precise, she escaped.

Cui Xiu closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress the surging anger in them.

The aura of outsiders intruding into Zhexue Peak was reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Very well, it's that redhead again.

Within the Hongmeng Secret Realm, he joined forces with Bai Rongling to design his squinty-eyed character.

Cui Xiu's face was very bad, and his body was filled with murderous aura, as if he wanted to chase after the person.

Seeing this, Yu Luoning quickly grabbed Cui Xiu, asking, "Where are you going?"

Cui Xiu's tone was unpleasant, "Of course, we'll bring them back."

Yu Luoning looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you so obsessed with him? Hasn't the evil corpse's essence already been retrieved?"

Cui Xiu froze, her purple, glassy eyes trembling slightly as she looked at Yu Luoning.

What should he say? "Bai Rongling is very likely pregnant with your child?"

No, I can't tell her any of this.

So Cui Xiu remained silent for two seconds, then found an extremely awkward excuse, "I don't like him."

Yu Luoning blinked. "You don't like them? If you don't like them, why do you insist on keeping them by your side? Aren't you just making things difficult for yourself?"

Choi Soo: "..."

The atmosphere remained deathly silent for a while before Cui Xiu finally said coldly, "Forget it, we'll catch him next time we run into him."

Compared to Bai Rongling, who ran away, there are still two people who need to be taken care of.

Shi Shangxu had just emerged from the secret realm and rushed straight to Zhexue Peak, as instructed by the sect. He hadn't had time to process the mission or the intelligence gathered from the secret realm; he had to return to Sword Peak immediately.

As they parted, Shi Shangxu looked at Yu Luoning with deep affection and asked gently, "Ningning, will you be leaving the sect soon?"

Yu Luoning shook her head. "Not for now."

A smile appeared in Shi Shangxu's eyes, and he nodded gently. "Alright, I'll come find you as soon as I've finished dealing with the sect's affairs."

Once Shang Xu left, Feng Qiguang was left standing alone on Zhexue Peak.

He felt slightly unwell; the entire ice palace was majestic and exuded a chilling aura.

The wind howled fiercely, and the biting cold wind made his face turn red, and even the tips of his ears turned purple from the cold.

Yu Luoning felt heartbroken and nudged Cui Xiu, saying, "Xiuxiu, the wind and snow are making my face sting. Why don't you cast a warming spell on the little phoenix too, so the child doesn't get cold?"

Although Cui Xiu looked impatient, he still raised his hand to cast a spell.

The next moment, Feng Qiguang felt a warm current envelop his whole body. He quickly bowed to Cui Xiu and said, "Thank you, senior."

At this point, only three people remained on the entire summit.

Yu Luoning led Feng Qiguang around the snow-capped peaks.

Feng Qiguang followed behind her, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at the familiar and vivid figure before him. As they walked, his gaze fell upon a corner of the snow-capped peak.

There was a cute little snowman that Yu Luoning had hand-made for Cui Xiu, and there was also a large purple flower room, clearly showing that a lot of thought had been put into it.

Feng Qiguang thought, childish.

Despite the sour feeling, a touch of envy rose in his heart. Ningning had never made any of these for him. These were all exclusive custom-made items for Cui Xiu.

He has a toothache.

So what if it's sour? Having witnessed the terror of the powerful beings from other realms today, he clearly saw the gap between himself and Cui Xiu. He couldn't afford to offend them, he simply couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Sigh, becoming Ningning's man is truly a long and arduous journey.

However, this also indirectly shows that he has good judgment. Thinking this way, Feng Qiguang comforted himself.

Just then, Yu Luoning suddenly remembered that she hadn't replied to Xing Qi's letter yet, so she quickly said, "You guys chat first. I'll go reply to a letter."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Only two men remained in the palace corridor.
