Yuan Shu sat facing Yun Sheng on his lap.
She could feel the increasingly rapid breathing of the person in her arms, as well as his slowly rising body temperature.
Even though the Divine Hehuan Tree trembled slightly, having already extended an invitation to her, she still ended the kiss.
She reached out and gently stroked Yun Sheng's face, his eyes hazy with desire, a bewitching smile curving the corners of her lips.
"Work hard and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage sooner. Yun Sheng, I've wanted to eat you up for a long time."
Yun Sheng's breath hitched, and his body suddenly tensed. A flash of embarrassment crossed his beautiful pink eyes, and the hands gripping Yuan Shu's waist couldn't help but tighten.
Yet, he still responded clearly in his most pleasant voice.
"Miss Yuan, Yun Sheng also really... wants to serve you. I want to very, very much!"
"Mhm, good boy."
Yuan Shu lowered her head and planted two more kisses on his lips before standing up. "Let's go, we are moving."
...
Clang!
A sharp sword aura left a deep mark on the stone wall.
Su Lingxi's face was filled with anger. The knuckles of the hand gripping her longsword were white. Her furious appearance terrified the young disciple who had come to deliver the news, making him tremble like a leaf.
Why did everyone say Senior Sister Su had a good personality?
A good temper?
Exactly what part of her temper was good?
Just now, he came to report that several inner sect disciples had gone to make trouble for Yuan Shu, only to be beaten half to death by her.
In a fit of rage, Su Lingxi directly cleaved three innocent spirit beasts in front of her in half with a single sword strike.
This was called a good temper?
The young disciple swallowed nervously, terrified that he would be the next thing Su Lingxi chopped down.
After quite a while, Su Lingxi finally realized she had lost her composure. She hurriedly restrained the anger on her face and tried her best to restore her usual gentleness.
"I was a little agitated just now. Did I scare you?"
Seeing the young disciple shake his head like a rattle, a smile appeared on her face. She took out some spirit stones and pills from her Qiankun bag.
"The spirit stones are for you. As for the pills, please pass them on to the senior brothers for me. Tell them to rest well and recover, so they don't leave any lingering injuries."
Her voice had already returned to its usual gentleness.
But whenever the young disciple thought of how those spirit beasts were killed in one strike just moments ago, he felt afraid, and his voice stuttered slightly.
"Yes, I, I understand."
Su Lingxi nodded slightly. In a bad mood, she didn't want to pretend or explain anymore, so she waved her hand. "Go on."
Watching the young disciple scramble away, Su Lingxi's expression turned gloomy and terrifying once again.
Six Foundation Establishment senior brothers couldn't trample Yuan Shu under their feet?
How on earth did she do it?
She clearly had trash aptitude, yet recently she had broken through continuously, even advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage?
What right did she have?
And those senior brothers, the way they looked at her now was like looking at a terrifying monster.
She couldn't get close to them at all!
It clearly wasn't like this before!
After the grand competition ended, Su Lingxi took her spoils to find Shu Linyuan and Shen Qi, but was turned away by both.
When she went to find Zhai Shuo, that guy saw it was her and directly slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Long Yunhui also went down the mountain, seemingly heading to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Speaking of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Su Lingxi felt anger rise in her heart. Those profiteers at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion caused her to lose such a huge sum of money last time.
Even today, she still hadn't found a chance to settle the score!
She finally managed to run into Leng Shuxue, who had just come out of their master's courtyard, but before she could even get within ten paces of him, her path was blocked by a wall of ice.
Leng Shuxue's eyes were indifferent. "Is there something you need?"
"Ahem, Fourth Senior Brother, I brought a lot of spirit medicines that are good for leg injuries. I came specifically to see you."
She hurriedly stepped forward, her voice soft and gentle, a bright and charming smile on her face.
She thought she could exchange this for a little bit of affection, but she didn't expect to be rejected outright.
"No need."
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for her to catch up, Leng Shuxue materialized his flying sword and floated toward the back mountain.
That was genuine Nascent Soul stage strength; even if she wanted to chase him, she couldn't catch up!
It really pissed her off!
Not a single one of these senior brothers was reliable!
The only reliable one, Fifth Senior Brother Ji Yunzhao, died in the Death Demon Forest. There were only slight residual fluctuations of spiritual energy left; they couldn't even find his corpse!
Thinking of this, Su Lingxi's head hurt even more.
No, it couldn't go on like this. She had to think of a way!
She couldn't let Yuan Shu continue to be so smug!
A ruthless glint flashed through Su Lingxi's eyes. She swept her longsword at a bamboo pole in front of her, as if it were Yuan Shu.
Snap!
The bamboo pole snapped in response.
...
"Eldest Senior Brother is really something. Master clearly told him to personally receive Guest Elder Yuan, but instead, he threw such an important task to us and ran off by himself!"
At the intersection leading up the mountain of Medicine Cloud Peak, several disciples wearing light green robes stood in two rows, waiting anxiously.
The one speaking was the leading young man, his tone complaining and indignant. "If Guest Elder Yuan gets angry, let's see how he explains it to Master!"
Someone nearby chimed in.
"It shouldn't be that bad, right? Guest Elder Yuan was also a sect disciple before, and I heard she is quite young. If she really gets angry, we can just coax her a little and it will be fine."
"I hope so. Master repeatedly warned us to treat this Guest Elder Yuan well."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Guest Elder Yuan arrived yet? Didn't she agree to come today?"
The group looked at each other and craned their necks to look down the mountain. Suddenly, a tall and slender figure appeared in their line of sight.
"? Guest Elder Yuan is a man?" someone exclaimed.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Guest Elder Yuan was previously a junior sister of Azure Cloud Peak. What do you mean, a man?" someone immediately retorted.
"No, the one walking up is a man!" the person who spoke earlier exclaimed with a bewildered look.
It wasn't until the person on the path drew closer and took out his Guest Elder token.
"Ahem, greetings Senior Brothers. I am Guest Elder Yuan's attendant, my name is Yun Sheng. Guest Elder Yuan has matters to attend to and will arrive later. I came ahead to tidy up her courtyard."
Yun Sheng wore a smile on his face. Having been well cared for by Yuan Shu recently, his former lowly and cowardly demeanor was gone.
It was replaced by a kind of effortless composure.
The disciples of Medicine Cloud Peak exchanged glances, a look of understanding dawning on them.
No wonder it was a man; he was just an attendant.
"Since that's the case, follow us. By the way, where did Guest Elder Yuan go? When will she arrive?"
"This... I don't know either."
...
In the cave dwelling on the back mountain of Azure Cloud Peak.
Daylight filtered in through the hole above, falling right in the center of the cave and making the surroundings seem even dimmer.
As soon as Yuan Shu stepped into the cave, she was hugged from behind.
The familiar scent of cedar wafted from behind, carrying the moisture of a recent bath.
"Shu Shu, I succeeded. Not only did I stand up, but I also broke through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Leng Shuxue's voice carried an unconcealable excitement.
His legs had been crippled for years. Just when he had despaired and no longer fantasized about standing up, Yuan Shu appeared, illuminating his world like a ray of light!
He thought that was his limit.
He never expected that Yuan Shu would not only cure his legs, but also... also allow him to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage!
Leng Shuxue didn't know what that divine power flooding into his body was when their souls resonated during his dual cultivation with Yuan Shu.
But he knew that it was the reason for his rapid advancement!
When the dual cultivation ended, he had only reached the late Golden Core stage, but there was still residual divine power within his body.
Once he had completely absorbed it, he successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
It was Yuan Shu who had helped him!
A shower of soft, feather-light kisses fell upon the back of her neck, quick and teasing like a little bird's pecks, sending a fluttering, tingling sensation straight to the depths of Yuan Shu's heart...
