Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 154 I'm advancing again...

Outside the window, the sky was dim.

Bai Ruofei quickly closed her eyes and entered a deep sleep.

The inner core seemed to be gradually recovering its energy.

One hour later.

A trace of color finally returned to her paper-white face.

Luo Qingfeng sat on the bed, quietly watching the sleeping woman in front of him, his emotions on his face and in his heart were extremely complicated.

Why is Senior Bai so kind to him?

Inner alchemy...

Although he didn't know what the inner core was, he believed it was just as important as the demon core of a demon, as it concerned his life and cultivation.

Senior Bai possesses demon blood, which is why he condensed his inner core, right?

However, she only had half demon blood. For her to use her own inner core to forcibly heal him and regrow his lost flesh was tantamount to bringing the dead back to life. The risks involved in such a powerful effect are self-evident.

Why would she treat him like that?

Is it because he helped her translate the cultivation method, because he spent every day with her, or because he gave her a treasure?

still is……

Looking at the pale yet beautiful face before him, Luo Qingfeng was momentarily overwhelmed with turmoil.

It was midday.

Snowflakes suddenly began to fall outside the window, and the cold wind swept past the windowsill, howling softly.

The stove in the house seemed to have gone out.

Luo Qingfeng took out another quilt and covered Senior Bai with it. Then he got out of bed, walked to the window, and gently pushed it open.

A cold wind blew in.

The sky outside was dark, and pure white snowflakes drifted down, creating a beautiful scene against the backdrop of the green trees and flowers in the courtyard.

"Why……"

After a long pause, he couldn't help but sigh softly, then closed the window and sat down on the tatami mat.

I can't let my mind wander anymore.

You should hurry up and practice.

Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and with a thought, two lines of data appear in your mind.

[Process: 100]

[Seven Stars of Creation Realm, Progress: Forty]

Sure enough, the first line of data had already reached one hundred.

He's eligible to advance again!

However, now is not the time. Senior Bai is still in a deep sleep, and we don't know if the other people in the mansion will suddenly barge in.

Only when it is late at night and there is someone protecting you can you advance in peace.

With another advancement, one will reach the eighth level of the Heavenly Creation Realm.

Among the new disciples of the South and North Academy, there should be very few who can reach the eighth level of the Open Heaven Realm.

Of the twelve new disciples in their team, only the boy named Lin Yun was at the eighth level of the Open Heaven Realm.

It's estimated that there will be some in the second team as well, but how many is unknown.

There should be a few in the South Campus as well.

But at most, I feel it won't exceed ten.

If you can achieve a top-ten ranking in this new disciple competition, you will receive a generous reward and more cultivation resources in the future.

He must not be satisfied with this; he must continue to cultivate diligently and reach a higher realm as soon as possible!

He took out a mirror from his storage bag and looked at his face.

His face has fully recovered, and the wounds on his neck and chest have also completely healed, leaving no scars on his skin.

You should know that before, the flesh had collapsed, and you could almost see the bones inside.

The flesh, blood vessels, and other internal structures were all corroded and burned.

He thought that would be how things would be from now on.

Who would have thought that he would fully recover in just one night?

Such miraculous effects are simply unbelievable.

From this incident, he gained a clearer understanding of just how powerful and unpredictable the demon race truly was.

Senior Bai only possesses half of the demon race bloodline, yet he can have such heaven-defying supernatural powers. Wouldn't those demon race members with purer bloodlines be even more powerful?

No wonder the demon race is so unpredictable and powerful, yet the monster race is able to fight against them single-handedly and even help humanity fight against them.

At this moment, he suddenly became more curious about the demon race.

I let my mind wander for a while.

He didn't waste any more time. He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to continue practicing the Breath Concealment Technique that Senior Bai had taught him.

His breathing began to slow down, and gradually, it seemed to disappear.

Outside the window, the cold wind howled and snowflakes fluttered down.

Before we knew it, it was already evening.

Luo Qingfeng's stomach rumbled, and he suddenly smelled an enticing aroma.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Bai Ruofei, dressed in a plain white dress, sat quietly opposite him.

The small table between the two was already filled with colorful and fragrant dishes.

Luo Qingfeng's gaze fell on her face, then on the strands of hair at her temples.

Her face was still somewhat pale, but she looked much better than before. Her lips had regained their color, and the hair at her temples had returned to its black color, which looked quite magical.

Overjoyed, he quickly asked, "Senior Bai, are you alright?"

Bai Ruofei looked at him and said, "No, he's dying."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

Bai Ruofei then said calmly, "I was poisoned by your saliva."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

It was indeed his fault. The other party was going to use his inner core to heal his injuries, but he actually put the inner core in his mouth and almost swallowed it.

Thinking about it now, it's so embarrassing.

"I was wrong..."

He bowed his head and apologized.

Bai Ruofei ignored him and remained quiet for a while before saying, "Let's eat."

Luo Qingfeng was already starving. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked up and was about to pick up his chopsticks when he stopped and said, "Senior Bai, please eat first. I'm afraid my saliva will soil the food."

Bai Ruofei took a steamed bun from the bowl and said calmly, "I only eat steamed buns."

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, felt relieved, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

Although I was very hungry, I still tried to maintain my image and ate slowly and carefully.

However, he quickly finished off the entire table of food by himself.

At this moment, Bai Ruofei had only eaten less than a third of the large white steamed bun in her hand.

Luo Qingfeng wiped his mouth, looked up at her, and asked, "Senior, you never eat meat?"

Bai Ruofei put down the remaining steamed bun in her hand and said, "Meat is fishy."

Luo Qingfeng said, "If you know how to cook it, the meat will be very fragrant and not fishy at all. If there is a chance in the future, I will cook it for you, senior."

Bai Ruofei looked at him and asked, "Are you trying to please me?"

Luo Qingfeng answered frankly, "Yes."

Their eyes met.

Bai Ruofei stared at him for a while longer, then said, "Trying to please me is useless. My inner core will not be used by you a second time."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Senior, you misunderstand. I am not after your inner core."

Bai Ruofei ignored him, got up, walked to the window, and opened it.

A cold wind carrying snowflakes flew in through the window, lifting her long, black hair and the hem of her snow-white skirt.

After standing there for a while, she spoke again, "I'm fine now."

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and asked, "Is Senior trying to send this junior away?"

Bai Ruofei looked at the falling snowflakes outside and said calmly, "You're anxious to see her, aren't you?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't hide anything: "This junior did indeed want to inquire about the situation, and I promised Sister Nightingale that I would go to see her tonight. However, Senior Bai..."

"Go."

Bai Ruofei interrupted him, saying, "If I resolve her matter as soon as possible, I can consider it fulfilling my promise to you."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, watching her lonely figure as she walked away, and said, "So, Senior Bai is leaving here?"

Bai Ruofei did not answer.

Luo Qingfeng stared at her blankly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After standing there for a while, he said, "Then this junior will go."

Bai Ruofei looked at the snowflakes falling on the windowsill, seemingly ignoring his words and offering no response.

Luo Qingfeng did not linger and left the room.

As he walked down the corridor and into the courtyard, he couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window.

The serene and beautiful figure inside the window was also looking at him.

The two stared at each other in silence for a moment.

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything, and quickly left into the wind and snow.

Upon leaving the mansion, a complex emotion suddenly welled up within him. He paused for a moment in the alley before continuing forward.

Perhaps he's overthinking it.

The streets were deserted, and vendors had begun to leave.

It was already dark when we arrived at Red Leaf Alley.

At this moment, the cold wind grew even more biting, and the snow fell even heavier.

He stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and just as he was about to reach out to push the door open, the wooden door creaked open, revealing Aya's pretty, innocent face and a pair of dark eyes.

The little girl seemed to have been waiting at the door the whole time.

Luo Qingfeng smiled at her, reached out to pat her head, but she quickly dodged it, her little mouth pouting slightly.

Luo Qingfeng closed the door and entered the courtyard.

The main room was lit by a dim yellow light, and the table was set with exquisite dishes, but no one was eating; everyone seemed to be waiting for him.

Nightingale and Grandma were both watching him from the corridor.

Grandma smiled broadly: "Feng, it's cold outside, come in quickly."

Luo Qingfeng followed Aya into the corridor.

Nightingale stood there, staring blankly at his handsome face, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Luo Qingfeng walked up to her and whispered, "Don't you look even more handsome now?"

Nightingale looked at him in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "How...how can it be alright?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "Senior Bai treated me."

The nightingale stared at him blankly.

At this moment, Grandma had already sat down inside the house and looked at the two of them, saying, "Aying, Afeng, what are you doing standing outside? Come in and eat, the food is getting cold."

The two exchanged a silent glance and went inside.

Luo Qingfeng and Nightingale sat together without saying anything more.

The family began to eat dinner under the dim light.

Although Luo Qingfeng had already eaten, he still ate with great relish. After seeing that the three of them were full, he finished the rest of the food.

While washing the dishes in the kitchen, Nightingale finally couldn't help but ask, "How did Senior White heal you? Lava corroded flesh and even bones; this isn't an ordinary burn. Even with the [Repair] Divine Power, it's impossible to heal so perfectly."

Luo Qingfeng helped her wash the dishes, not answering immediately. After a moment, he said, "Sister Nightingale, I owe Senior Bai so much, I don't know how to repay him."

Nightingale put down her bowl, looked at him silently for a while, and said, "Will you repay me with your body?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Of course not."

Nightingale lowered her head and continued washing the dishes, without saying another word.

After washing the dishes, the two started boiling water.

After a long silence, Nightingale finally spoke, "Luo Qingfeng, do you think Senior Bai might...?"

"Won't."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingfeng answered.

Then he looked at her and said, "After Senior Bai helps you transfer to another hospital, he may leave. He'll go to a very far place and may never come back."

The nightingale paused for a moment, then said, "Really?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

Nightingale stared at him for a while longer, then asked, "Did they invite you to come along?"

Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."

He then added, "However, it's not what you think."

The nightingale did not speak again.

The water in the pot quickly came to a boil.

Nightingale went out and brought back a basin, saying, "Take a bath first, and stuff your dirty clothes out the window."

After saying that, she went out and closed the door for him.

Luo Qingfeng sat there in a daze for a while before getting up, scooping up hot water, mixing it with cold water, and starting to take off his clothes to shower.

Outside, the nightingale stood in the wind and snow, her skirt fluttering, her expression hesitant.

Aya stood in the corridor, silently watching her.

Luo Qingfeng quickly finished his bath, changed into a clean scholar's robe, and came out of the kitchen.

Nightingale glanced at him and was about to go into the kitchen when Luo Qingfeng suddenly said, "Sister Nightingale, please protect me tonight."

Nightingale was taken aback by his words, her gaze turning to him, her body suddenly stiffening: "You..."

"I'm advancing again."

Luo Qingfeng said calmly.

The nightingale stood frozen in place, staring blankly at him, motionless.

Luo Qingfeng shrugged and said, "With so many life-or-death battles happening in the other dimension, isn't advancing in rank normal? Didn't Sister Nightingale advance in there too?"

The nightingale stared at him stiffly for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What's your constitution? Can you tell me?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I have an ordinary physique. Didn't the elders in the academy check me out back then?"

Nightingale shook her head and said with certainty, "It can't be an ordinary physique. I... you advanced so quickly, faster than all the geniuses in the academy, it's absolutely impossible that you just have an ordinary physique."

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "It could also be an extremely rare and peerless genius physique."

Nightingale gave him a few more complicated looks, then, not wanting to joke with him, said, "You go inside first, I'll be right there."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly added, "Sister Nightingale, I'm not in a hurry. Take your time washing. My advancement this time should be quick, probably in less than an hour. After I'm done..."

Nightingale ignored him, went into the kitchen, and closed the door.

Luo Qingfeng immediately returned to the house.

Nightingale stood in the kitchen for a while, then raised her right hand, slowly opened her palm, and looked at her palm.

"Whoosh!"

A flame mark lit up, and a small firebird vaguely appeared inside, flapping its wings vigorously.

At the same time, a surge of hot blood suddenly began to flow rapidly within her body.

That was a stream of golden blood!
