Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 171 The Demon of the Great Buddha Temple

It was evening.

Luo Qingfeng and Dong Miaomiao emerged from the cultivation courtyard together, both covered in sweat.

Just then, Yang Mei and her friends came out of the small courtyard next door.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yang Mei left with a cold smile on her face without saying a word.

The others greeted them.

After walking a distance, Yang Meifang sneered at the people around her, "They're clinging to the Ningguo Mansion's coattails, they wouldn't deign to pay any attention to insignificant people like us."

Luo Qingfeng heard this but didn't take it to heart, and left with Dong Miaomiao.

He went to the library first, told Senior Bai, and then took Dong Miaomiao out of the North Courtyard.

Nightingale waited at the door. Seeing the two come out together, before she could speak, Dong Miaomiao ran over and, with a fawning expression, hugged her arm, explaining, "Master's wife, please don't misunderstand. I came to see Master today to cultivate with him. The sweat on our bodies is from cultivation, not from doing anything bad!"

Luo Qingfeng's lips twitched.

Was this girl doing it on purpose? Is this some kind of "trying to cover up the truth" explanation?

Nightingale smiled gently. "I didn't misunderstand."

As he spoke, he glanced at someone.

Luo Qingfeng quickly went over and whispered, "Why aren't you resting at home?"

Nightingale ignored him and led Dong Miaomiao ahead.

Braving the wind and snow, the three went to the market to buy groceries and returned to Pear Blossom Lane.

Upon entering the courtyard, Dong Miaomiao immediately went to play with Aya.

The two little girls chatted in the snow for a while before preparing to go to the backyard.

Dong Miaomiao said she wanted to spar with Aya.

Nightingale quickly warned Crow, "Be careful, don't hurt Miaomiao."

Aya nodded blankly.

Upon hearing this, Dong Miaomiao immediately pouted and said, "Master's wife, I'm a Seventh-Star Opening Realm cultivator! You look down on me!"

Nightingale laughed, "Luo Qingfeng has the cultivation of an eighth-level Open Heaven Realm cultivator, yet he's still afraid of Aya."

Upon hearing this, Dong Miaomiao's eyes widened immediately: "Sir, really? Is Sister Aya's swordsmanship that amazing?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Of course, you'll know once you try, but be careful."

Unable to contain her curiosity, Dong Miaomiao pulled Aya to the backyard.

Luo Qingfeng and Nightingale went into the kitchen and started cooking.

In no time at all, Dong Miaomiao came running up from behind and proudly announced at the kitchen door, "Sir, Madam, I defeated Sister Aya!"

The two were somewhat surprised.

The nightingale asked curiously, "How did you defeat it?"

Dong Miaomiao said smugly, "You all said that Sister Aya's swordsmanship is very powerful, so I didn't let her use a sword. I sparred with her with my fists, and then I defeated her."

After hearing this, the nightingale chuckled.

Luo Qingfeng also praised, "You really are quite clever."

Dong Miaomiao chuckled, quite pleased with herself: "Of course."

Then she winked at him and said, "By the way, sir, I'm going to spar with Sister Aya later. Would you like to come and watch?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, glanced at the person next to him, and seeing that the other person was also looking at him, he quickly said, "I'm not looking, I need to cook."

Dong Miaomiao said with a grin, "Sir, you really don't want to look? There are so many feet!"

Luo Qingfeng raised the kitchen knife in his hand to scare her.

Dong Miaomiao laughed and ran away.

Nightingale, washing vegetables nearby, sneered, "Looks like someone's peculiarities are quite well-known."

Luo Qingfeng coughed and changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Nightingale, last night's results were great, and we're getting closer and closer to advancing."

The nightingale lowered its head to wash the vegetables and said nothing more.

Luo Qingfeng leaned closer to her and whispered, "Sister Nightingale was so domineering last night..."

Nightingale blushed and glared at him.

Luo Qingfeng whispered again, "Unfortunately, even the domineering queen ultimately begged for mercy... Ah!"

Nightingale gripped his waist, her pretty face flushed, and glared at him, saying, "Keep talking."

Luo Qingfeng quickly begged for mercy, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore... Let's cook!"

After dinner.

Dong Miaomiao played for a while longer before going home.

Luo Qingfeng was about to participate in the new disciple competition, which she knew, so she didn't disturb him and even took the initiative to ask the head steward for leave on his behalf.

Luo Qingfeng won't need to go to school for the next two weeks.

"Your student is so considerate."

After Dong Miaomiao left, Nightingale said sourly.

However, she soon lost her ability to speak.

Inside the room, the lights were turned off, the curtains were drawn, and the two got into bed to begin their cultivation.

One hour later.

The nightingale fell asleep exhausted, her face even paler than the night before, and her breath much weaker.

Luo Qingfeng stayed with her for a while, then got up and went to the next room to begin his cultivation alone.

Eight stars within the body lit up.

Within the Dan Hai (a body of energy), stellar energy flowed slowly.

Above the night sky, streams of pure starlight pierced through the wind and snow, reaching the top of his head and flowing into his body.

The meridians that had just been tempered began to throb with pain, a burning sensation.

But I adapted quickly.

The speed at which it absorbs the power of the stars is getting faster and faster.

At this moment, Luo Qingfeng seemed to have passed through rooftops, through wind and snow, soared into the night sky, arrived at the vast and boundless Milky Way, and seen that fiery star...

It felt as if the intense heat of the sun was enveloping him.

It wasn't scalding hot, but rather gave him a sense of warmth and comfort.

This is his destiny star.

Inside his body, the light of the eight stars shone brighter and brighter.

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

When he finished his practice and woke up, it was already daylight outside.

With a thought, the data appeared.

[Process: Twelve]

[Eighth-Star Realm of Creation, Progress: 100]

Sure enough, the data in the second row has reached one hundred!

In fact, when he first woke up from his cultivation state, he could clearly feel the changes in his body. The outline of the ninth star had already appeared, and it was obvious that he was about to advance.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that all the meridians and acupoints in his body, as well as his internal organs, had become stronger.

This is all thanks to Sister Nightingale!

He glanced at the sky outside and decided to start his quest to advance to the next level that very night.

Of course, just in case, he would also like to go to the academy today to ask Senior Bai what preparations he needed to make before attempting the breakthrough.

After all, relying on the energy within Nightingale's body, she re-tempered and transformed her meridians and acupoints, and she still felt a slight pain. If something went wrong during the breakthrough, she would regret it.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he got up and left the room.

Back in the next room.

On the bed, the girl was sleeping soundly, her face looking extremely pale, and her breathing was somewhat unsteady.

Clearly, these two nights of cultivation had taken a toll on her mental and physical energy.

Luo Qingfeng sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her face, his eyes full of tenderness. He secretly made a decision in his heart: no matter what, he would never let anyone bully her again, and he would do everything in his power to protect her.

I didn't eat breakfast.

He greeted Aya, who was up early, and then went to the Demon Suppression Academy.

We went to the library first.

When he entered, Grandma Ning was still engrossed in that thick novel and ignored his greeting.

Luo Qingfeng went straight upstairs.

After listening to his words, Bai Ruofei pondered for a moment and suggested, "Wait a day, and try to break through the barrier tomorrow night. Today, continue absorbing the power of the stars to cultivate, and let your meridians and acupoints recover and adapt. If you rush to break through the barrier, your meridians and acupoints will not be able to withstand that power, and the consequences will not only be the loss of all your previous efforts, but may even destroy your meridians."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "Alright, then I'll try again tomorrow night."

Bai Ruofei glanced at him and then asked, "How is Nightingale?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly explained the situation, and asked with some concern, "Is she really not in danger?"

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "You'll be fine after a period of rest, but it's best not to use any techniques for the next month. As for transformation, you absolutely must not do it."

Luo Qingfeng kept it in mind.

Bai Ruofei looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window and said nothing more.

Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior Bai, when have you decided to leave?"

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Are you urging me to leave?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly replied, "Of course not, I just..."

"Just what?"

Bai Ruofei looked into his eyes.

Luo Qingfeng shook his head: "It's nothing."

Bai Ruofei did not speak again.

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Luo Qingfeng bowed and took his leave.

Bai Ruofei gazed at the snowflakes outside the window, a dazed look on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she murmured to herself, "Should I do this? Or..."

Luo Qingfeng went to a training ground.

Just as he was about to find a stone chamber to cultivate, Lin Yun suddenly came out of one of the chambers and greeted him, saying, "Junior Brother Luo, you're cultivating again? You're really diligent."

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "I'm still not as diligent as Senior Brother Lin. Senior Brother Lin didn't go back last night and has been cultivating here all night, right?"

Lin Yun smiled faintly and said, "I suddenly had some insights into the cultivation technique yesterday, so I stayed here to cultivate last night."

At this moment, Yang Mei and several others came from a side path. Upon seeing the two, they all greeted Lin Yun first, their attitude being very ingratiating and respectful.

Luo Qingfeng didn't linger. He cupped his hands in greeting to the group and then entered a stone chamber.

Yang Mei walked over and first spoke a few words to Lin Yun with a fawning expression before coldly snorting, "Senior Brother Lin has the cultivation of a ninth-level Open Heaven Realm cultivator, and such high talent. He's so approachable to us junior brothers and sisters. Unlike that other one, he clearly looks down on us. He won't even speak to us. Yesterday, he was fawning over that young lady from the Ningguo Mansion."

The two women behind her also sneered and echoed her sentiments.

Lin Yun recalled the lively and pretty girl in the red dress, paused for a moment, cupped his hands in greeting, and then left.

Luo Qingfeng cultivated in the stone chamber for a whole day.

By evening, he felt that the meridians and acupoints in his body were no longer painful, and at the same time, they were wider and stronger than before.

However, he still didn't dare to be careless.

Senior Bai was right this morning. The more critical the moment, the more careful and cautious he needs to be.

You must be well prepared to pass the test.

The familiar figure waiting for him at the gate was not there.

"Sister Nightingale might not have come to the Demon Suppression Academy today..."

He was worried and immediately went home.

Just as he reached the entrance of Pear Blossom Alley, he suddenly saw a familiar figure emerge from the alley.

A tall girl wearing a purple dress.

Tang Wu, the captain of the Wind Team.

"Captain? What are you doing here?"

Luo Qingfeng stepped forward and asked.

Tang Wu saw him and laughed, "Not bad, you're already living with A-Ying, and you haven't even had a wedding ceremony yet."

Luo Qingfeng was a little embarrassed and could only say, "I had nowhere to stay, so Sister Nightingale took me in."

Tang Wu said, "There are plenty of poor people who have nowhere to live, and I have nowhere to live either, so why did A-Ying only take you in?"

Luo Qingfeng knew she was joking and asked, "Captain, is there something you need today?"

Tang Wu nodded: "There's a mission outside the city. I was originally going to ask A Ying to come along, but she didn't go to the courtyard today, so I came to find her instead."

At this point, a half-smile appeared on her face: "I just didn't expect that she would be bedridden. Luo Qingfeng, how can you be so heartless? No matter how beautiful Aying is, no matter how good her figure is, no matter how much you crave her, you can't keep bullying her. At least let her rest."

Luo Qingfeng quickly said awkwardly, "Captain, you misunderstand. Sister Nightingale was just tired from cultivating."

"Is it from the fatigue of cultivation?"

Tang Wu couldn't help but laugh: "Can cultivation really make you that tired? You're clearly completely drained, so weak you can't even get out of bed. Besides, there's no smell of cultivation in the room or on her."

Before Luo Qingfeng could explain further, she suddenly said, "Are you trying to deny it? I can read minds."

Luo Qingfeng froze, and offered no further explanation.

Tang Wu smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. A-Ying needs to rest and probably won't be able to go out on missions for a while. I wanted to ask you to come along, but A-Ying said you've already participated in the new disciple competition, so you probably won't have time."

Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Captain, where outside the city is this mission? How many demons are there?"

If the distance is close and there is a lot of Morocco, then he might be able to give it a try.

maybe……

"At the Great Buddha Temple in the west of the city, I heard that a demon once appeared there but has been killed. Now the Great Buddha Temple has sent someone to ask for help, saying that three monks have recently gone missing..."

Tang Wu briefly explained the details of the mission.

"The Great Buddha Temple?"

Luo Qingfeng was slightly startled. Wasn't that the place where he and A'ya had secretly gone to retrieve the Golden Lotus from the Buddha while wearing masks? Had a demon appeared again?

The distance isn't far.

He thought for a moment and asked, "When does the captain plan to depart?"

Tang Wu said, "We'll set off tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: I need to advance to the next level tomorrow night, so I definitely won't be able to go.

Moreover, last time he and A'ya went to the Great Buddha Temple, although they were both wearing masks, they had fought against demons, so the abbot probably remembered their techniques and weapons. If they went this time, they might be exposed...

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to give up.

Well, it's already pretty good that I was able to successfully advance to the ninth star of the Heavenly Opening Realm.

If you get too greedy, something bad might happen.

The two exchanged a few more words before Tang Wu took her leave.

After returning home, Luo Qingfeng went straight to his room.
