Chapter 28: Charming Bones, Three Red Hearts, Qi Training Level 4
This support and shout not only failed to awaken You Lianruo, but made her tremble even more violently.
Lu Bai was immediately flustered. What should he do?
"Cold! Hold me!"
At this moment, You Lianruo suddenly spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
Lu Bai hesitated for a moment, then embraced her.
Hiss!
The first sensation was coolness.
Then came a slick smoothness.
But Lu Bai had no mind to feel these things. He leaned close to You Lianruo's ear and softly asked, "And then?"
You Lianruo did not respond, as if she had fallen back into a daze.
Lu Bai frowned.
Her condition clearly couldn't be solved by just 'holding' her. What should he do next?
Without instructions, Lu Bai, though anxious, dared not act rashly.
In fact, You Lianruo had remained conscious the whole time.
When Lu Bai swam over and touched her, she felt the trembling of her Heavenly Profound Charming Bone reach an unprecedented level.
At the same time, a chilling aura emanated from her.
You Lianruo decisively told Lu Bai to hold her.
Boom!
When Lu Bai held her, the Heavenly Profound Charming Bone was like a bomb thrown into a calm lake, almost blowing off the top of her head.
It was then that You Lianruo began to feel hazy and gradually lost consciousness.
Lu Bai called out two more times.
Still no response.
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Hmm?
At this moment, he suddenly felt that You Lianruo's body seemed to have regained a trace of warmth.
Whew!
Lu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good sign.
A quarter of an hour later.
You Lianruo returned to her normal body temperature, and at the same time, slowly opened her eyes.
Their two faces were only half a foot apart.
You Lianruo was a bit confused.
Because she had blacked out just now, she needed to gather her memories. After about two or three breaths, her eyes changed from empty to clear.
Kiss!
After You Lianruo woke up, she suddenly hugged Lu Bai's handsome face and gave him a big kiss.
Lu Bai was petrified.
What was this all about?
A moment later.
He came back to his senses and said, "You look very happy. What happened just now?"
You Lianruo replied playfully, "I won't tell you."
Happy? Of course!
The Heavenly Profound Charming Bone, dormant for over twenty years, had finally fully Awakened. How could she not be happy?
From now on, her talent would be completely unleashed.
The Saint/Saintess competition, Qiu Yanming, Yu Xianyun, Liang Shuyu, you three don't even need to think about it.
Alas! I'm too unpromising!
How can I limit my gaze to them? I should look at the entire Eastern Domain, and even the Central Domain, and compete with the most top-tier Geniuses.
At this moment, You Lianruo revealed her ambition.
And the Heavenly Profound Charming Bone, rare in a thousand years, was her confidence.
Thinking of this, she felt even more grateful to Lu Bai.
Without him, the Heavenly Profound Charming Bone might not have Awakened until she died of old age, and there were precedents for this in history. Being in a treasure mountain but unable to use it, that kind of torment could drive a person mad!
Fortunately, she was Lucky and met her 'key'.
[Ding! Detected You Lianruo's Affection for Host +1888 points. One step closer to lighting up the fourth red heart!]
What the f—!
Lu Bai, who was immersed in the romantic atmosphere, was suddenly stunned by a System prompt.
1888 points?
The fourth red heart?
These words made his heart pound wildly.
Lu Bai even felt a bit unreal. He quickly submerged his Divine Thought into the System to see how many small red hearts were behind You Lianruo's name on the star map.
Three.
Whew, it's true.
What kind of stimulation did she receive? Why did she seem like a different person after fainting for a while?
Lu Bai was completely baffled.
At this time, the water began to ripple.
Lu Bai looked down. The demoness seemed a little restless.
He calmly let go of her and returned to his original position.
You Lianruo was stunned, then showed a resentful expression.
The Heavenly Profound Charming Bone only recognizes one person in a lifetime, so You Lianruo is destined to only be with Lu Bai in this life. So, what difference does it make if it's a day earlier or later?
She asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Uh!"
Lu Bai's eyes darted around a bit. He cursed the System's ancestors eight generations in his heart, then said faintly, "My Master said that my Cultivation is too low, and breaking my purity too early would be detrimental to my Cultivation."
[Su Tingyu: Rebellious Disciple! How dare you blame me! I've always been in favor of you and Lian Ruo interacting more.]
A hint of apology arose in You Lianruo's heart!
It was indeed her oversight. She forgot that Lu Bai was not from the Yu Xiang Sect. The Xuanqing Sect Cultivates orthodox Dao, so perhaps there are requirements for pure Yang and pure Yin!
"Then shall we continue our water Cultivation?"
You Lianruo felt that her injuries were not fully healed and wanted to return to her Peak in one go.
"Good!"
Water Cultivation was also very beneficial to Lu Bai, so of course he was happy.
"You don't have to be that far away, do you?" You Lianruo pouted.
Lu Bai was speechless for a moment!
First, she told me not to be so close, and now she's telling me not to be so far away. This is too difficult!
"Your charm is too great. I'm afraid I can't resist it."
"Alright! You know how to talk!"
The two stopped chattering, steadied their minds, and began to Cultivate.
Unconsciously, the sky began to lighten.
At this moment, the elemental Qi around Lu Bai began to become restless.
You Lianruo noticed the anomaly and slowly opened her eyes.
Going to Breakthrough again?
She was already numb to Lu Bai's speed.
However, she was mostly happy for him. At the same time, she was happy for herself.
She quickly closed her eyes again, sped up her Cultivation, and lent him a hand.
At a certain moment.
Boom!
Lu Bai, like 'exploding fish', caused the pond water to splash everywhere.
He roared to the sky, his heart filled with joy.
Qi Condensation Fourth Layer.
The small threshold from Early Stage to Middle Stage was crossed so easily.
"Congratulations!" You Lianruo said with a smile.
"I also have to thank you for your help."
"There's no need to be polite between us."
"Alright!"
"My injuries have also fully recovered. It's time to return."
"Mm!"
The two officially ended their water Cultivation.
You Lianruo stood up gracefully, completely disregarding Lu Bai's gaze. She took out a clean dress from her spatial ring and slowly put it on.
Lu Bai quietly admired her.
He wouldn't miss out on such a benefit.
After You Lianruo finished dressing, she said with a smile, "It's your turn! Should I turn around?"
Lu Bai rolled his eyes. She was clearly teasing him on purpose.
Or perhaps challenging him.
Of course, Lu Bai couldn't show weakness.
He stood up with a splash, walked beside You Lianruo, slowly dried his body, and began to get dressed.
After the two were ready, they stepped on their swords and flew off.
It was still You Lianruo carrying Lu Bai.
But the difference was... before, they maintained a certain distance. Now, they were almost pressed together. Lu Bai had his arm around You Lianruo's waist, and You Lianruo was leaning against his chest.
"What are your plans after you go back?" You Lianruo asked.
"Cultivate diligently and strive to catch up with you soon."
"That won't be easy!"
"What about you?"
"I'll send you back to Xuanqing Sect first, then I'll have to come back here again. After I resolve the matter in Songhe Country, I will focus on breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and competing for the Saintess position of Yu Xiang Sect. I might not have much time to see you then."
"It's alright! If two hearts are meant to be together forever, then why cling to meeting every morning and evening!"
Lu Bai said this sentence very naturally.
This indicated that, in his heart, he had already confirmed this relationship with the demoness.
"Mm!"
You Lianruo carefully savored the sentence and found it very meaningful.
And that line, 'A single meeting of golden wind and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world,' from their first meeting was also beautiful!
She couldn't help but think that Lu Bai's occasional scholarly demeanor was quite similar to that group of Confucian scholars at Taiwei Academy.
"Oh, right! Can you help me check this Storage Pouch and see if you can erase the mark on it?"
At this moment, Lu Bai took out Ma Shan Laolao's Storage Pouch and briefly explained her relationship with Su Yun'er, as well as that fierce battle.
You Lianruo took it.
With a gentle flick of her jade hand, she returned it to him.
That simple?
Lu Bai tried it, and sure enough, it could be opened.
He briefly looked through it. There were indeed many things inside. He would study them properly after returning!
Two days later, they arrived at Xuanqing Sect.
The two exchanged a smile, both thinking of their previous chase-and-flee scenario.
After a brief farewell, Lu Bai flew into the mountain gate.
You Lianruo looked at his retreating figure and thought, in just a few days away from the sect, he had broken through from Qi Condensa
tion Second Layer to Fourth Layer. It should shock everyone, right?
