Fairy, don't go! I have a mod.

Nangong Yue grew angrier the more she thought about it, threw the book on the ground, and sat down on the floor, puffing out her cheeks in anger.

With her long legs crossed, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes that she had just finished reading beside her, the two books were placed side by side, and the more she looked at them, the angrier she became.

At that moment, the door to her bedchamber was pushed open, and her personal maid peeked in and spoke cautiously.

"Your Highness, the Immortal Shadow Sect's recruitment conference is the day after tomorrow. Didn't you say you were going? The flying boat is ready..."

"I'm not going!"

Nangong Yue's voice rose eight octaves.

"I'm so angry! What a lousy conference! Anyone who wants to go can go!"

Chapter Seventy: Long-Distance Dual Cultivation

The mist over the Fairy Shadow Heavenly Pool lingered. Li Xizhao leaned against the pool wall, his arms resting on the jade platform, his eyes closed, lost in thought.

Tang Ruoyin sat next to her, scooped up a handful of warm spiritual spring water and poured it on her shoulders, the water droplets sliding down her fair collarbone.

Her skin glowed with a luminous sheen in the misty spray.

"Li Xizhao, stop thinking about Guan Jiu'er all the time."

"That's the path she chose herself. You can't stop her, and there's no need for you to bear the burden for her."

Tang Ruoyin's voice sounded exceptionally gentle in the mist.

"What good will it do to bring her back when she gets into trouble she can't handle herself?"

"So what if the Immortal Shadow Sect is labeled as part of the demonic path by those righteous sects?"

“We’ve never been a prestigious sect, so when have you ever cared about such empty titles?”

Li Xizhao opened his eyes, turned his head to look at her, and his tone carried a rare hint of weariness.

“I rarely feel this powerless... The last time was when you slept with Xiao Mu, and I was so angry…”

Tang Ruoyin coughed several times, her ears turning slightly red. She silently sank her body into the water, leaving only half of her face above the surface.

She quickly changed the subject, raised her hand to brush aside the stray hairs that were damp with water vapor from her forehead, and moved closer to Li Xizhao.

Her tone was tinged with barely concealed excitement: "Hey, look at my forehead."

Li Xizhao lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at her brow.

The golden divine pattern appeared and disappeared in the mist, its exquisite lines as if drawn stroke by stroke with the finest brush, adding an indescribable air of nobility to Tang Ruoyin's aloof face.

Li Xizhao withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent.

"Hmm, it's drawn quite nicely."

Tang Ruoyin rolled her eyes, reached out and scooped up a handful of water, splashing it on Li Xizhao's face.

"I didn't draw this! It grew on its own a few days ago!"

Li Xizhao turned her head to avoid the splash, her brows furrowing slightly.

She herself was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for nearly a thousand years and had never heard of any female cultivator having divine markings grow out of thin air between her eyebrows.

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Tang Ruoyin moved closer to her and pointed to her forehead for her to see clearly.

"This thing can increase my cultivation speed by about 20%."

"I even feel that my whole body has been strengthened, my meridians, physical body, and spiritual power have been restored, in all aspects."

"At first I thought it was because I had recently eaten some rare and precious herbs, but then I found out it was because of the effect of this divine rune."

Li tide stared at the divine mark for a long time. The pattern between his eyebrows did not look like it was drawn on. The golden light emanated from under his skin, and there was a faint spiritual power flowing in the pattern.

She leaned back against the pool wall and said something in a nonchalant tone.

"The effect is so good, draw one for me too."

"This really wasn't drawn by me!"

Tang Ruoyin was both amused and exasperated, and almost stood up from the pool.

She bit her lower lip, and the expression on her face gradually changed from helplessness to a meaningful smile.

"But I have a feeling... that this thing is related to Xiao Mu."

When she spoke of Mu Tianmiao, her words were suddenly interrupted by a suppressed groan.

"Hmm~"

She abruptly covered her mouth, shrank back into the water, and a blush of sunset appeared on her face at a visible speed.

The divine mark between his brows was also glowing slightly.

Li Xizhao's lips twitched as he watched her trembling in the pool, legs clenched together and mouth covered.

"What are you doing? Why are you acting all lovey-dovey in front of me?"

Tang Ruoyin wanted to explain, but the touch that came from afar landed precisely on her, leaving her with nothing but biting her lip to suppress her voice.

She cursed Mu Tianmiao a thousand times in her heart... That little rascal was playing his tricks on people from afar again...

Mu Tianmiao sat on the chair in the main hall of the Alchemy Pavilion, listlessly raising his hand and fiddling with his fingers in the air.

The sensation from the camera across the river told him that Sister Tang was probably taking a bath. The water was quite hot and slippery, and it would tremble slightly every time he pinched it, which was quite fun.

"Where did you go, really..."

He muttered to himself, his fingers making two more shaky gestures in the air.

Tang Ruoyin usually sits in the Pill Pavilion at this time, but today he came here specifically to talk to her about the divine runes, only to find that she was not there.

He fidgeted with the air, leaning back in his chair listlessly, his legs dangling on the table.

Li tide watched as Tang Ruoyin trembled more and more violently in the pool, her whole body arched, her eyes rolled back more and more, and she made sounds that were completely unlike those of a normal human being.

Her lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know whether to go up and help her or to push this shameful woman into the water to wake her up.

"Hey, you really...you..."

Li Xizhao had lived for nearly a thousand years, and this was the first time he had ever seen Tang Ruoyin look like this.

The usually aloof and dignified elder of the alchemy room was now lying on the edge of the pool like a female beast, her waist arching and falling involuntarily.

A series of suppressed sobs escaped her throat.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized... This was probably Mu Tianmiao using that remote means to play tricks.

She already knew he had this ability when that kid kissed her from a distance on the flying boat, but she never expected him to dare to act recklessly in the sect in broad daylight...

While cursing Mu Tianmiao in her heart, she reached out to help Tang Ruoyin, but before her hand could even touch her, Tang Ruoyin trembled violently and let out an extremely embarrassing sound.

"Oh ho ho... Don't look at me... ho ho ho ho!"

Li Xizhao hurriedly made a sound transmission spell, his spiritual energy just surging to his fingertips, but he hadn't even spoken yet.

Suddenly, Tang Ruoyin on the other side let out an extremely loud pig squeal that was completely unlike anything a human could make.

The sound was sharp and bright, echoing several times in the mist of Tianchi Lake, even startling the cranes on the shore, which flapped their wings and flew away.

Tang Ruoyin lay sprawled against the pool wall, her waist slumped completely, and the golden divine mark between her brows shone as if it were about to burst into flames.

She made a series of embarrassing "oh ho oh ho" sounds.

His expression was a mixture of pain and pleasure, completely devoid of the aloofness and dignity expected of an elder of the alchemy hall.

Li Xizhao looked at her with a dark expression, forgetting to continue the telepathic communication he had only half-finished.

She finally understood; that kid had gone beyond just touching her from a distance...

He's probably already started to brace himself!

Can this spatial magic really do something like this?

Dual cultivation across such a distance?

She was staring at him so intently... oh dear!

At this moment, Tang Ruoyin was completely immersed in a sea of ​​joy, as if she had a motor installed in Tianchi.

The twitching wouldn't stop... as if I'd been struck by lightning...

Chapter 71 You two shameless bastards…

Li Xizhao took a deep breath, made a new hand seal, and his spiritual power flowed rapidly through his fingertips. He then sent a telepathic message precisely to Mu Tianmiao's spiritual power.

She opened her mouth and yelled, her voice exploding in Mu Tianmiao's mind, startling him so much that he almost jumped up.

"What are you doing, you brat! You..."

She was about to tell him to stop, but before she could finish speaking, Tang Ruoyin suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The hand was still trembling slightly, but the force was surprisingly great.

Tang Ruoyin, her face flushed, lay by the pool, struggling to lift her head. She looked at Li Xizhao with a pitiful yet self-righteous gaze, her voice hoarse and urgent.

"No...don't let him stop, at least...at least let me finish...stopping halfway through will kill me..."

Li Xizhao's face flushed red, so red that even her ears felt hot.

She gritted her teeth and turned her head away, not even noticing that her legs were rubbing uncomfortably underwater.

She reconnected to the telepathic incantation, suppressing a mix of anger and other emotions, and asked in a cold voice.

"Mu Tianmiao, the welcome party starts the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going to check how the preparations are going? What are you doing?"

From the other end of the voice transmission came Mu Tianmiao's rapid and disordered breathing, interspersed with some kind of rhythmic movement sound.

He shouted back, his voice trembling, yet he was so self-righteous and shameless.

"I'm practicing martial arts! I'm working really hard! Aren't I a good disciple~"

Li Xizhao was practically grinding her teeth in frustration. This was what they called practicing martial arts!

She had lived for nearly a thousand years, and this was the first time she had ever heard anyone call that kind of thing martial arts practice!

She was so angry that she wanted to cut off the transmission, but Tang Ruoyin started making a series of embarrassing noises next to her, making her unable to even hold the transmission spell steady.

Li Xizhao felt Tang Ruoyin's hand gripping his wrist suddenly tighten.

Then Tang Ruoyin started acting strangely. Her body felt like it had been struck by something invisible, her waist bounced up and then fell back down.

She made a series of sounds that made Li Xizhao want to push her whole body into the water.

The sound was like a sow grunting or a river shrimp jumping in boiling water, rising and falling in the mist of Tianchi Lake. Even the cranes by the lake were so frightened that they flapped their wings and fled into the bamboo forest.

Tang Ruoyin's toes curled into ten pearls underwater, and the golden divine mark between her eyebrows shone like a small lantern. Her whole body trembled from head to toe.

And the pigs kept squealing…

Li Xizhao has lived for nearly a thousand years, slaying countless demons and monsters, and ascending to the Divine Transformation Realm through sheer force. What kind of scene hasn't he seen?

But she had never seen such a sight before.

She looked up at the sky, then down at Tang Ruoyin who was still calling out, and leaned back against the pool wall expressionlessly, wiping her face with what she could tell was either pool water or something else that had splashed on her.

For the first time, she genuinely felt that her sect might be doomed...

The voice from the other side came through the sound transmission technique intermittently. Mu Tianmiao let out a long breath, her breath not yet fully even.

She spoke in a lazy tone, as if she had just finished running 10,000 meters and had just woken up.

"Master, I'm done. Is there anything I can do for you, dear Master?"

When Li Xizhao heard the words "dear master," he almost snapped the telepathic spell in his hand.

Her fingers clenched into fists underwater, her knuckles cracking, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

Tang Ruoyin finally calmed down, lying on the edge of the pool like a lump of mud, still humming unconsciously, with a satisfied expression on her face that made you want to kick her into the water.

Li Xizhao took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to push both of them into the pool, and spoke coldly, word by word, through the telepathic communication technique.

"You have one minute to get over to Tianchi. I need to talk to you."

After saying that, she abruptly cut off the telepathic communication, not even leaving Mu Tianmiao a single punctuation mark.

Li Xizhao grabbed Tang Ruoyin's clothes from the poolside and threw them at her face with precise force, just enough to cover her still-smiling face.

"Hurry up and put it on, you shameless woman."
