Night had fallen, with the moon hanging high in the sky.
Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
Luo Yin pushed open the door to Ling Qingxue’s room.
“Shizun, your disciple has arrived.”
As he pushed open the door, Luo Yin saw Ling Qingxue sitting cross-legged on the bed, spiritual power surging around her body.
That aloof Venerable Lingxiao had returned.
Marquis Sealing Realm Eighth Layer!
Sensing her cultivation base, Luo Yin secretly clicked his tongue in wonder.
As expected of someone with such talent.
After losing all her cultivation this time and consuming the Flawless Pill, she had unexpectedly advanced several minor stages in just one afternoon.
Ling Qingxue noticed Luo Yin’s arrival at that moment. She opened her eyes, and a flash of cold light shot from them, landing on Luo Yin.
“What are you doing here? Let me tell you, this venerable one’s strength has already recovered. If you dare act recklessly, I’ll make you regret it!”
Luo Yin’s heart trembled at her words.
Right on!
This felt just right!
Now this was interesting!
He hadn’t expected Ling Qingxue to slip into character so quickly!
“Shizun, your disciple has come specifically to congratulate you on recovering your strength. However, this disciple is worried there might be some hidden ailment in your body, so please let your disciple examine you.”
Luo Yin cupped his hands as he spoke. Then he strode toward Ling Qingxue on the bed.
Seeing his movements, Ling Qingxue’s delicate brows shot up, and she cried out in a sharp, delicate voice, “Stop right there! If you take one more step forward, don’t blame this venerable one for crippling you, you wicked disciple!”
At the same time, runes flickered in her palm, brilliant light surging forth. She was already prepared to strike Luo Yin.
The corners of Luo Yin’s mouth curved into a smile. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if Ling Qingxue’s performance was acting or genuine.
But it didn’t matter!
Thrilling was thrilling!
“Shizun, your disciple is only thinking of your well-being! This is your disciple’s filial piety! Can you really bear to wipe away your disciple’s heartfelt intentions like this?”
Luo Yin’s expression shifted, taking on a touch of pitifulness as he spoke.
“Incorrigible!”
Ling Qingxue’s cold voice rang out. With that, a beam of treasure light burst fiercely from her palm.
Hum!!
Treasure light filled the room, and countless profound runes coalesced above Luo Yin’s head, forming a cage that trapped him in place.
“You actually dared to strike for real?”
Luo Yin stared coldly at her.
“Hmph!”
Ling Qingxue snorted. “Stay right there and reflect on your actions!”
A trace of smugness appeared on her face, and a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes.
The corners of Luo Yin’s mouth hooked into a cold smile. “You don’t seriously think this little trick can hold me, do you?”
As his words fell, Luo Yin threw a punch.
Bang!
The cage shattered instantly.
“You… you stop right there! Don’t come any closer!”
Ling Qingxue’s expression changed drastically.
“Heh heh! Shizun, since you refuse to accept your disciple’s filial piety, don’t blame this disciple if it sours!”
With that, Luo Yin charged forward like a ferocious beast.
“Don’t come over!”
Ling Qingxue cried out sharply, and the atmosphere in the room gradually took on an indescribably wondrous turn.
…
The next day.
Luo Yin and Ling Qingxue stepped out of the room.
He couldn’t help but admire Ling Qingxue’s acting skills. Last night had been half real, half fake.
Her performance when she trapped him had crushed any fresh-faced idol from his previous life, rivaling the work of a veteran actor.
If not for what happened in the latter half of the night, Luo Yin might have truly believed that Ling Qingxue was angry and frightened.
One had to admit it.
Sometimes, switching things up could be quite fun.
After leaving the room, the two found Ling’er and the others before entering the private booth they had reserved in advance.
“Qingxue-jiejie, that aura around you…”
Ling Qingxue hadn’t restrained her Marquis Sealing Realm aura, and Ling’er noticed it right away. She asked subconsciously.
Ling Qingxue smiled faintly. “This is my original strength. I just had a little mishap earlier and lost all my cultivation. Thanks to Luo Yin’s pill, I was able to recover.”
Ling’er came to a sudden realization.
She had originally thought Ling Qingxue had some illness. So it was just a loss of cultivation!
“Wow! Qingxue-jiejie, your original strength is so impressive!”
Stars sparkled in Ling’er’s eyes as she looked at Ling Qingxue with admiration.
Luo Qianqiu, standing to the side, seemed thoughtful, as if she had realized something, but she didn’t say anything.
Ling Qingxue chuckled. “What’s the point of being strong? I still can’t compare to certain little monsters.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Luo Yin.
Luo Yin turned to Ling’er. “Don’t envy her. One day soon, she’ll be the one envying you.”
His words left both Ling Qingxue and Ling’er puzzled.
Meanwhile, Luo Yin fell into thought.
Should he find a way to help Ling’er recover her strength and memories?
Ling’er’s favorability had already reached 100, so he could fully claim her.
But Luo Yin wasn’t in any rush. He wanted to awaken her strength and memories first.
After all, she was an Immortal Emperor-level existence!
Once Ling’er truly recovered, what did he have to fear from Blood Nether?
Things weren’t like they used to be. Blood Nether might be strong and hard to kill now, but they were no match for an Immortal Emperor.
“Everyone, it’s time! Next up, today’s Tales of the Great Wilderness!”
Lin Fan’s voice came from outside the booth just then, snapping Luo Yin out of his reverie.
Today was harvest day!
“What’s this Tales of the Great Wilderness? Don’t bother telling it! It’s already a book! Mr. Lin, just tell us first—is the follow-up the same as in the book?”
“Yeah! Same or not? If it is, I’ll keep reading. It’s too exciting!”
“Even if it’s different, I’ll read it anyway. It’s that good!”
“Mr. Lin, did you publish that book?”
“……”
