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

Yu Luoning was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. The strange feeling that had been suppressed by the Heart-Cleansing Mantra slowly resurfaced in her heart.

She even felt a strong possessiveness; such a handsome person should be hidden away and only seen by her.

His gaze gradually became unfocused, and his body uncontrollably slumped down little by little.

Their breathing grew closer and closer.

Just as Yu Luoning was about to press her lips against his thin lips, a hand suddenly pressed against her forehead. Yu Luoning opened her eyes in confusion, and the two looked at each other.

Bai Rongling's face was pale, and her breathing was still weak.

He sneered, "You're... taking advantage of someone in distress?"

Yu Luoning blinked, finally regaining some of her senses, and her body sprang away like a spring.

Bai Rongling did not laugh. He slowly sat up and looked at Yu Luoning's eyes, which had not yet fully regained their clarity.

He was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.

It started with his mother.

Don't let anyone get close, and don't let him out of your sight.

Later it was his father, and then all the maids who served him, the disciples of the sect, and the strangers who had seen his true face.

That kind of liking wasn't normal liking; it was an almost uncontrollable obsession.

His naturally captivating beauty was not a blessing, but rather a curse.

He was cursed from birth.

To suppress this power, before his death, the old ancestor used his own soul as a guide to leave a seal for him.

It was useful when she was young, but as Bai Rongling's cultivation level increased, the power of the seal weakened.

Therefore, he could only suppress his current level and dared not break through to the next level.

Bai Rongling slowly lowered her eyes, a bitter feeling flashing through her heart.

Does Yu Luoning have even the slightest affection for him?

He didn't realize that he could no longer tell the difference.

Bai Rongling picked up the handkerchief, attached it to her face with spiritual power, leaving only her cold eyes looking at Yu Luoning.

An awkward atmosphere filled the air between the two. Yu Luoning silently recited a calming mantra in her heart, finally managing to suppress the burning heat within her.

She turned around, her back to Bai Rongling, took a deep breath, and then said, "We've fallen into a strange place. Even with my teleportation technique, we can't get out. You should heal your injuries first, and once you're healed, we'll find a way out together."

Bai Rongling nodded slightly. Yu Luoning thought for a moment, but couldn't help turning around and saying, "Bai Rongling, is there some strange curse on your face? I feel like I don't even recognize myself anymore."

Bai Rongling was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Do you know that the Bai family also has another name: the Fragrant Bone Family?"

Yu Luoning nodded.

She had heard of the Fragrant Bone Family before, after all, their reputation behind the scenes was not good, and many powerful clans and sects were wary of them.

Bai Rongling continued, "The core members of the Bai family have special physical characteristics, which is why they have many admirers."

"But my situation is much more serious than theirs."

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning immediately realized and blurted out, "A succubus physique?"

Bai Rongling: "..."

"That description is also apt, but my constitution is more unique."

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning immediately moved a little further away from him.

Bai Rongling: "..."

"Is there a solution? I don't think you want to be in the same room as someone who's after you, right? If I lose control one day, you...you can't blame me."

Yu Luoning muttered to herself, and Bai Rongling scoffed, "You're quite frank."

"Of course, I've already said all the unpleasant things beforehand. If anything happens, you can't blame me."

Bai Rongling's originally gloomy mood was somewhat relieved by her words.

A hint of mockery even flashed in his eyes as he probed, "Are you truly bewitched by me, or have you always harbored feelings for me?"

Yu Luoning looked completely bewildered.

Bai Rongling: "When we were fighting at Zhe Xuefeng, didn't you... help me out of trouble several times?"

"How can that be the same? I've always just loved all beautiful things."

Bai Rongling fell silent again. The light from the light stones embedded in the wall poured down on his face from above, making him appear deep and unfathomable.

After a long silence, Bai Rongling suddenly spoke, her tone soft and gentle, as if she urgently needed to confirm something, "Including me?"

Based on Yu Luoning's intuition, if they continued talking, something uncontrollable was about to happen.

The idea of ​​making Bai Rongling her husband was just nonsense; she was just talking big.

If Zhen and Bai Rongling really got involved, there was no way to explain it to Cui Xiu.

In short, she can have many men, but they absolutely cannot cause trouble or interfere with her cultivation. Anything that drains her energy should be avoided.

"Stop talking, focus on healing your injuries, and get out of here once you're fully recovered."

The jade bed is very large. This bed originally belonged to her. Why should she need to consult with anyone before sleeping in her own bed?

If Bai Rongling is not happy, then he can sleep on the ground, even if he is injured.

Yu Luoning naturally occupied half of the jade bed. As soon as she lay down, wisps of cold air pierced into her body, and her spiritual energy, which had been agitated by the high temperature outside, calmed down.

Feeling extremely comfortable, Yu Luoning closed her eyes contentedly.

Bai Rongling glanced at her, said nothing, and closed her eyes again to regulate her breathing. The cave quickly became quiet.

The two lay quietly, only occasionally hearing the bubbling sound of the lava flowing outside.

At some point, Yu Luoning became drowsy and exhausted.

These days, he was first seriously injured, then broke through to the next level, fought with someone as soon as he came out of seclusion, and then got caught up in spatial turbulence. He has been working non-stop for a moment.

Not only physically, but also mentally exhausted.

Now that she has finally reached a safe place, she can finally relax for a while.

In a daze, Yu Luoning clung even closer to Bai Rongling, drawing warmth from her.

Bai Rongling had been meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest and abruptly opened his eyes.

It turned out that Yu Luoning had somehow gotten close to him, with one hand on his chest.

Bai Rongling slowly moved her body outward a little, creating a small gap between the two.

Not long after, Yu Luoning posted on social media again.

If he hadn't been able to sense that Yu Luoning was truly asleep, he would have even suspected that she was doing it on purpose.

"Yu Luoning, what exactly do you want?" Bai Rongling's brow twitched slightly as she tried to suppress her emotions.

Yu Luoning was woken up by him and opened her eyes in a daze.

She was clearly very sleepy at that moment, her eyelids were drooping.

"Sleep, what can I do? Do you expect me to...?"

Bai Rongling seemed to have caught her red-handed, and laughed angrily, "I told you you had ulterior motives. You've already revealed your true feelings."

Yu Luoning was so sleepy that her mind was foggy, and she had no idea what she had said.

She was used to teasing the men in her own household, and now that she was out of her mind, she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

She closed her eyes, chuckled twice, and then leaned closer to Bai Rongling. "Didn't you say you were my husband? A husband is only for looking, not for...?"

Beep beep beep~

Bai Rongling: "..."

Bai Rongling's body was as stiff as a stone, but after the instigator finished speaking, her head tilted to the side and she fell asleep again.

Bai Rongling looked down at her, and after a long while, gritted her teeth and squeezed out, "Yu Luoning!"

But no one answered him, and Bai Rongling took a deep breath in anger.
