Chapter 52 Chapter 52 The only way to make him let down his guard...
It was already midnight when Ling Fuying woke up.
Because of yesterday's drunkenness and the strange dreams she had some time ago, her head was aching so much that it felt like it was about to split.
The scenery in front of her seemed to be spinning, and it took her a long time to sober up a little. She needed to practice her alcohol tolerance.
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
Yuchi Xianyue's words made Fuying hold the quilt tightly. He turned his head and saw Yuchi Xianyue sitting by the window reading a book.
Only then did Ling Fuying realize that this was not her bedroom in Yang's house, but on Yuchi Xianyue's private flying boat.
Alarm bells were ringing in her heart, and she quickly looked at Yuchi Xianyue.
"Madam, there's no need to look at me like that. It wasn't me who broke the contract first. I'm sure you know what you did in private."
Ling Fuying never expected that waking up from a drunken stupor would give her such a big surprise.
Yuchi Xianyue is a totally untrustworthy bastard.
Ling Fuying had already prepared for the possibility that he would go back on his word. After all, he had no so-called morals at all.
She lay back down and ordered Yuchi Xianyue, "I have a headache. I need some hangover soup."
Yuchi Xianyue's smile froze slightly, and he looked at her motionlessly.
"Did you hear that? Aren't you my husband? Can't you even make a hangover soup?"
She really didn't want to move now.
Although they were still above Daluo Continent, the entire flying boat was as warm as spring, and she felt tired all over.
“…”
Yuchi Xianyue leaned closer to her, and she did not dodge, and Fu Ying's impatient face came into view. Yuchi Xianyue could clearly see the fine transparent hairs on her face, and a small red mole hidden between her eyebrows.
"Madam, please wait a moment." Yuchi Xianyue naturally didn't know how to make any hangover soup. Others always served him, so when had he ever served others?
So he was a little worried. There were no servants on the flying boat at this time, so he could only go to the nearest city to buy it.
When he left, Chen Fuxue had been standing at the door but did not come in, so Ling Fuying had no idea that he and Yuchi Xianyue had actually come back together.
He dared not see her now.
Chen Fuxue had been wandering outside the door. He felt a little regretful. He thought about taking Ling Fuying away directly, but he didn't know whether Xiaoman was willing. Would he abandon him after meeting other men, just like Yuchi Xianyue said?
He was already over a hundred years old, but Xiaoman was in her twenties, so Chen Fuxue didn't dare to gamble.
Soon Yuchi Xianyue came back. When he saw Chen Fuxue outside the door, he understood.
How could he not know what Chen Fuxue was thinking, but this was exactly one of his purposes.
He returned to the Three Thousand Realms together with Chen Fuxue. In Ling Fuying's view, Chen Fuxue had betrayed her, and she would inevitably feel resentful towards him.
Although on the surface Yuchi Xianyue told Shen Fuxue that they were competing fairly.
But once Chen Fuxue agreed, it would definitely not be fair, as he was already at a disadvantage.
Yuchi Xianyue was 90% sure about this.
"Why don't you go in, Immortal Lord?" Yuchi Xianyue pretended to be magnanimous.
He didn't care about Shen Fuxue's answer at all.
"Xiao Man needs some hangover soup. I'll take it to her first and I won't talk to you any more."
Yuchi Xianyue entered and closed the door.
Ling Fuying was still sleeping. Yuchi Xianyue looked at her for a while without waking her up. He waited until she woke up before drinking.
As for bringing Ling Fuying back, Yuchi Xianyue thought she would be desperate, after all, she seemed extremely resistant to being with him.
But he had never thought of her doing this.
Ling Fuying refreshed his cognition again and again.
Yuchi Xianyue sat beside the bed and looked at her, gazing at her eyebrows and eyes. Time passed unknowingly, and the sleeping Ling Fuying opened her eyes.
"Would you like some more hangover soup?"
Ling Fuying fell asleep again. It was now daybreak and her headache had eased a little. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to drink anymore."
It was the middle of the night and almost all the inns and restaurants in Daluo Continent were closed. Yuchi Xianyue ran to many places and spent a lot of money to buy this bowl of sobering soup.
Seeing that she didn't drink it, he didn't show any extra emotion and just put the hangover soup aside.
"You go out first, I want to practice, don't disturb me." Ling Fuying's mind is now full of Dragon Breath Pills and Tianhan Pearls. With Yuchi Xianyue and Shen Fuxue here, the safety level of this flying boat is at the highest level.
So she could concentrate on refining the Tianhan Pearl.
Yuchi Xianyue is an extremely complacent person. Unless there are special circumstances, he does not want to restrict Ling Fuying's personal freedom, and naturally he would not bother to do anything against her wishes. He is naturally willing to give her these freedoms.
He walked out of the room. Shen Fuxue was still outside. Yuchi Xianyue asked, "Would you like to have a drink with me, Immortal Lord?"
Chen Fuxue was at a loss and did not refuse.
Fu Ying was unaware of everything that happened outside the door. She spent 100 luck points to let the system set up a shielding array, intending to refine the Tianhan Pearl immediately.
As soon as the bead was taken out, a huge amount of pure spiritual energy spread out, making Fu Ying feel refreshed and clear-eyed just by smelling it, and the restless heavenly fire in his body seemed to gradually subside.
Just one strand is comparable to the Soul-Nourishing Lotus. One can imagine how powerful it would be if all of it were refined.
Ling Fuying swallowed the Dragon Breath Pill first. The pill melted in her mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. A stream of heat flowed along her body to her meridians, and she instantly felt her body burning.
Not daring to waste time, she ordered Fu Ying to mobilize her spiritual power to wrap the Tianhan Pearl. However, just as she touched the Tianhan Pearl, the biting cold seemed to spread along her spiritual power and froze it instantly.
It even showed signs of spreading to her dantian, prompting Fu Ying to immediately activate the heat flow of the Dragon Breath Pill to fight against it and melt the frozen spiritual energy.
If she could control the heavenly fire hidden in her dantian, she would naturally be able to fight against the overbearing coldness of the Heavenly Cold Pearl, but she had no power to control it at all. Not dying from the heavenly fire was a very good result.
The process of dissolving little by little and then being introduced into the Dantian in the body was extremely slow, causing Fu Ying's body to feel hot and cold, and almost paralyzing her meridians, so she could not feel any pain.
But she had to stay awake. At the end of the refining process, her meridians, blood, flesh, bones and even her body were covered with a thin layer of ice, which made Fu Ying's teeth chatter with cold, but the deepest part of her body was as hot as magma.
Under such extreme tempering, her physical qualifications improved at an unimaginable speed.
The extremely cold spiritual energy of the Tianhan Pearl suppressed the Heavenly Fire in her body, forcing Fu Ying to grit her teeth and control the spiritual energy to surround the flashing scarlet fire, trying to control it for her own use. However, it was obvious that the spiritual energy of the Tianhan Pearl could only suppress it for the time being, forcing Fu Ying to use up all her spiritual power to barely attract a wisp of Heavenly Fire, but this would consume too much of her spiritual power and consciousness.
At this time, three days and three nights had passed silently, and Ling Fuying opened his dry eyes and looked at the faint flame that he tried his best to draw out with his fingertips.
The firelight illuminated Ling Fuying's face, which became even more beautiful because of this refining. At first, she was exhausted, but at the end of the refining, she felt relaxed all over, without any sign of fatigue. Her body felt light as if all the dirt had been burned and refined by the raging fire.
Ling Fuying's face was filled with joy. He was careful not to let the flame on his fingertips go out. Just as he was about to try the effect of wiping the flame, he was stopped in time by the system.
"Host, don't use this casually!" The system told Ling Fuying the power of this seemingly harmless flame.
Now that Ling Fuying is still able to control the heavenly fire, it will cause unimaginable consequences. If he is not careful, this small flame is likely to destroy the entire forest in an instant, or even burn himself, and die in the sea of fire.
Fu Ying was shocked. He had thought that the heavenly fire was powerful, but he had never imagined it would be this powerful.
Unless life is in danger, it should not be used lightly, so Fu Ying warned himself.
Unless she has the ability to completely control the skyfire.
[System, have you finished the upgrade?] Ling Fuying asked expectantly.
She carefully retracted the heavenly fire and stood up to take a shower, but her body was still a little stiff from sitting still for a long time. When she walked, the wind blew under her feet, making Fu Ying feel as if she would fly away on the wind at any time.
Wow, so magical.
When Ling Fuying went to take a shower, she passed by the mirror and found that her skin was crystal clear without any flaws or dullness. Her waist-length hair also grew to her hips, smooth, shiny and silky.
She looked at her face carefully and didn't expect that it could also beautify the skin.
The system automatically scanned Ling Fuying's body and produced the results. [Host, your cultivation aptitude has now reached the pinnacle of a single spiritual root, granting you a natural Luck bonus upon advancement. Your Luck has increased by 1000 points.]
[Has broken through the Xuandan realm and entered the middle stage of the Wanxiang realm.] Those in the Wanxiang realm are considered high-level cultivators and will be recruited by various forces and families. Jiemie and Wuxiangjing are even top-level masters.
He crossed the latter stage of Xuandan Realm and the first two stages of Wanxiang Realm and entered the middle stage of Wanxiang Realm.
These surprises came one after another, making Fu Ying think about relying on the Tianhan Pearl to break through to the Wanxiang Realm, but he never thought that he would enter the intermediate level.
According to the system, anyone with outstanding talent in this world will surely be blessed with good fortune. After all, only those chosen by heaven can have such qualifications.
Cultivators with top-grade spiritual roots can be called geniuses, and there are no more than fifty of them in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
There are only four cultivators who possess spiritual roots of heavenly grade or higher, and they are the four protagonists, Chen Fuxue, Yuchi Xianyue, Ling Zhouci and Ling Huaixu.
Although Ling Zhouci looks like he will die at any moment, his talent is extraordinary.
It would be a pity to keep it on him, and Ling Fuying really wanted to steal it.
Although Ling Fuying's physical aptitude has reached this level through acquired training, he can also be counted as one of them.
Ling Fuying: Have I become a genius too?
Her mood was difficult to express. No wonder her insensitivity had become countless times more acute, and she could even hear the movement outside the door.
Then she heard Shen Fuxue's voice.
Chen Fuxue? Ling Fuying only thought that Yuchi Xianyue took him away while he was drunk, but he never thought that Chen Fuxue was also involved.
He just said he loved her, and then asked Yuchi Xianyue to take her away, and even left with him, making it hard for Fu Ying to believe that he was not involved.
It is true that men's lies cannot be trusted. Ling Fuying never believed Chen Fuxue from the beginning to the end. Selfishness is the bad nature of men, and then they will pretend to be extremely innocent. Facts have proved that her idea is correct.
[System, have you completed the upgrade? ]
[Host, the upgrade has been completed. New features added: cultivation shielding, whereabouts shielding, data access level upgraded to intermediate, enemy weakness analysis.]
The function of blocking whereabouts and analyzing enemy weaknesses is very practical.
[Then analyze Yuchi Xianyue's weaknesses.]
[As the protagonist, Yuchi Xianyue's strength, IQ, EQ, appearance, talent, and other elements are well-balanced, with no obvious shortcomings.]
Ling Fuying: ...
[However, after system testing, he has very little emotional experience, whether it's family, friendship, or love, it's almost zero. The system has collected and compared a large amount of small world data. This type of protagonist is extremely hard-hearted, but also the most likely to fall into emotional trouble. If they take it seriously, they will fall into an irretrievable situation.]
【……】
Yuchi Xianyue must be someone who would be moved, after all, in the book he and Shen Fuxue get together.
But the more Fu Ying thought about it, the more unreal it seemed. Yuchi Xianyue didn't seem like the kind of person who would fall in love.
He is a madman who is fickle, selfish, and masochistic.
Ling Fuying walked out of the door. Before that, she asked the system to block her cultivation. It was not a good thing to be discovered by Yuchi Xianyue if she advanced too quickly. As soon as she went out, she saw Yuchi Xianyue drinking tea with Shen Fuxue on the deck.
She glanced at Chen Fuxue and didn't look at him again.
Yuchi Xian smiled, smoothed his sleeves, stood up and walked towards Ling Fuying, "Madam, your training is over. Would you like to have a cup of tea with us?"
Ling Fuying was thirsty. Although he wasn't hungry, he still missed it. "Is there anything to eat?"
Yuchi Xianyue naturally didn't prepare these, Shen Fuxue's eyes lit up, and he brought out a few plates of fruit cakes: "Xiaoman, I have some here."
This was the first time he spoke to her in so many days, and he looked at her nervously.
Ling Fuying sat down as usual, but did not touch the plates of snacks that Chen Fuxue had brought out.
Shen Fuxue carefully observed Ling Fuying's expression, but found that she had never looked at him.
He was at a loss and wanted to explain to her, but Yuchi Xianyue was right beside him.
"When we return to the Three Thousand Realms, you can have whatever you want to eat, Madam." Yuchi Xianyue said considerately.
Ling Fuying remained silent, watching the scenery passing by outside the cabin, and casually asked, "How long will it take to reach the Three Thousand Realms?"
"About three days."
Ling Fuying nodded, took the tea that Yuchi Xianyue placed next to her and took a sip.
"How does it taste, ma'am?"
"not bad."
Seeing that she didn't pay any attention to Chen Fuxue and was concentrating on tasting the tea he gave her, Yuchi Xianyue was in a good mood.
If he was happy, he wouldn't be afraid of trouble, so he asked again: "We're almost at Fengming City, there are a lot of delicious food there, why don't we go there for dinner?"
She instantly became excited when talking about food. She had also heard of Fengming City, which was a relatively wealthy place in Daluo Continent. Its culture and even food were well-known.
"Okay, how long?"
"It will probably take a few hours, not too long."
Ling Fuying nodded.
The two of them completely ignored Chen Fuxue in their question and answer. After drinking the tea, they ordered Fuying to go back to the house, and Yuchi Xianyue followed closely behind.
Chen Fuxue watched the two of them go away, and he sat alone at the table on the deck.
Back in the house, Ling Fuying didn't refuse Yuchi Xianyue's entry. The two of them got along like an ordinary couple. She didn't argue or make a fuss, and ate and drank as usual. This made Yuchi Xianyue feel strange. Maybe she had compromised? Or was she willing to live with him?
No matter what kind of situation it was, Yuchi Xianyue didn't mind. Even if she was pretending, it wouldn't have much impact on him.
He became curious about this because he suspected that he had no marital life, and he was happy that Fu Ying was willing to accompany him.
At least for now, it seems that they are living a good life like this.
When Yuchi Xianyue entered and closed the door, he saw Chen Fuxue outside. Everything was developing in the direction he expected. Yuchi Xianyue curled his lips to hide the coldness in his eyes.
He turned and walked towards Ling Fuying who was meditating in the house. She had been practicing for three days and three nights, but he couldn't see her level of cultivation. Everyone has secrets. Yuchi Xianyue didn't think too much about it, but he still became more curious about her.
Her secrets are growing.
In the afternoon, the flying boat arrived over Fengming City. Yuchi Xianyue had greeted the city lord in advance, so they had a smooth journey and were not intercepted. The flying boat landed in an open area in a remote part of the city.
Ling Fuying and Yuchi Xianyue walked in the front, and Chen Fuxue walked behind them. He was wearing a silver robe that dragged on the ground, his black hair was like a waterfall, and his face showed no emotion. He was as noble as a banished immortal and difficult to approach, but he was extremely uneasy in his heart. If you look closely, you can see that his eyes are slightly wet, which is very inconsistent with his appearance.
Yuchi Xianyue said that they competed fairly, but he couldn't find an opportunity and didn't know how to talk to Xiaoman, so he could only follow silently.
Ling Fuying chose the most grand and expensive-looking restaurant. The appearance and temperament of the three people were too eye-catching, and they would attract the attention of passers-by when passing by.
Of course some people knew them, but the three of them standing together looked weird.
Although Chen Fuxue is Ling Fuying's master.
Previously, the incident of Yuchi Xianyue looking for his wife caused a lot of controversy, and now people around him started talking about it.
"It seems the Territory Lord has found someone. He even brought his wife to the restaurant. He seems to be very affectionate with her."
"Who is that?"
"You don't even know the renowned Immortal Lord Zhaoxue? He's your Second Miss's master. I'm afraid her disappearance must have alerted the Zheyuan Palace, which is why the Immortal Lord is searching for her alongside the Territory Lord."
They naturally never thought that Chen Fuxue, who looked like a banished immortal, was actually a mistress, or a mistress who wanted to get promoted but failed.
"It's just that this makes the Second Young Lady look like she doesn't look pregnant."
The lower abdomen is flat, without any bulge.
"Maybe she doesn't want to show her pregnancy." Some people didn't care much and never doubted whether the pregnancy was real or not.
Yuchi Xianyue suddenly leaned close to Ling Fuying's ear and said, "Madam, it seems that in order to silence the gossips, we have to put the issue of the child on the agenda."
Ling Fuying laughed.
Chen Fuxue also looked at her belly. He didn't know whose child this was, but he liked all children as long as they were Xiaoman's.
But why didn't it get bigger? He had the same question as everyone else on the street.
He lacked common sense. After all, no one had ever told Chen Fuxue these things. He also had no access to the environment in which he lived. The knowledge he gained from the books he occasionally read was extremely one-sided and not systematic at all.
In fact, he learned things very quickly, to a terrifying degree. He was sealed in an ice coffin without any contact with the outside world. He grew up for decades and became a very handsome young man. The spiritual power of the entire Dragon Ridge Peak was absorbed by him. When the spiritual power in his body became extremely huge and difficult to suppress, he broke the seal and was reborn from the ice coffin.
So at the beginning he had no idea about the rules of worldly etiquette, nor did he know how to behave in society, and he did not understand the human language. He also could not talk to people, and his speech was as incoherent as a baby's.
The Frost Embers Sword has always been with him, as if he was born with the swordsmanship.
He just casually flipped through the human characters and absorbed them at an extremely fast speed. In just two days, he completely memorized all the characters and was able to understand and communicate with the human language.
But he has no literary attainments. He doesn't understand them and has no intention of learning. If he read those books enough times, he can expand his knowledge, but he doesn't want to read them and doesn't care about it. He just wants to have someone to communicate with to maintain his daily life.
He didn't need to practice, and just curled up aimlessly in the ice coffin he built for himself, day after day.
Later, Ling Chongshan accepted an apprentice for him. He just looked at her twice. This was his first time to have close contact with someone. The feeling was very strange and he didn't know how to communicate with her, but he didn't reject it either. He just listened to her talk.
The time he spent in the ice coffin became shorter and shorter, and the time he spent sitting outside the house became longer and longer.
But later, for some reason, she suddenly stopped coming. Chen Fuxue never asked about it, and his life returned to normal, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
In his opinion, there is no taboo between master and disciple, and there is no such concept as being a mistress and destroying someone's family.
Even though he learned from the book that this was wrong, it had no binding force on him.
Because he is separated from this secular world and cannot identify with it. Moreover, he is the rule. Even if he does something unethical, no one dares to say anything in front of him.
To outsiders, he seemed cold and unreasonable. In fact, he didn't listen to what they said at all and was immersed in his own world.
Sometimes you may be attracted by an ant under your feet, or you may look carefully at a small flower or grass.
He is not as cold and inviolable as he appears. Instead, he is easily deceived and reveals his wildly beating heart.
Hearing that people around him regarded Ling Fuying and Yuchi Xianyue as a loving couple, Shen Fuxue almost bumped into a street vendor.
Not long after, Yuchi Xianyue and Ling Fuying disappeared from his sight. Children were running and jumping, laughing and talking, and couples were walking hand in hand in the streets happily. Only he was standing alone in the bustling crowd.
He blinked slowly, and a teardrop touched his long eyelashes, trembling slightly before rolling down.
After a long time, he locked onto Ling Fuying's location through the heart-protecting mark left on her body.
At this time, Yuchi Xianyue was picking up some food from Ling Fuying's bowl. Seeing Chen Fuxue, he said apologetically, "Where has the Immortal Lord gone? We've already started eating. I'll have someone bring some more food up."
"No need to trouble you." He didn't need these. Usually, he would just eat when Xiaoman wanted to.
Yuchi Xianyue did not force it, "Then Immortal Lord, please come and eat with us."
After hesitating, Chen Fuxue carefully sat down next to Ling Fuying.
Halfway through the meal, he picked up the eggplant box that Fuying loved, but she didn't touch it.
Ling Fuying's thoughts had already drifted away at this time, and she continued to communicate with the system.
She still didn't quite believe that Yuchi Xianyue had no weaknesses, so she continued to question the system, trying to find some other clues.
After the system checked and compared the data again, it said: [Yuchi Xianyue's heart is tilted to the right, making it easier for him to avoid fatal attacks, but even if his heart is injured, he will recover.]
"What about his spiritual consciousness?" Ling Fuying asked.
[The spiritual consciousness is indeed the most vulnerable part of a cultivator, but it is also the most difficult to approach.]
The gap between her and Yuchi Xianyue's cultivation levels was so huge that it was almost impossible for her to forcibly invade his consciousness.
Unless he could let her in voluntarily.
This was the only chance for her to enter voluntarily, let down her guard, and show her weakest will, giving her the opportunity to kill Yuchi Xianyue.
Naturally, it is to communicate with him spiritually.
