His original intention was for Bai Ruoyue to soak first, even if she lost some of her life force.

But Bai Ruoyue insisted, so they took a bath together.

You don't have to take off your clothes, so it's not particularly embarrassing.

As for the matter of bathing together, once it is done, it will be different after all.

The water of life is very strange. Even in this deep mountain cave, it is not cold, but warm and very comfortable.

The pool water directly soaked the clothes of the two people, but the clothes did not affect their absorption of the water of life.

No, they don’t even need to actively absorb it, the vitality in the water of life will actively flow into their bodies.

The water in the pool was not deep, and if Zhou Qing sat down, his head would still be visible.

But Bai Ruoyue was injured, and there was no suitable place for her to sit quietly in the pool. If she sat down, she would be drowned.

It would be terrible if he was not chased to death by wild beasts but drowned in the pool of life instead.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and said:

"Big sister, can I hold you?"

"Um."

Bai Ruoyue nodded obediently, no longer her usual impetuous and energetic appearance.

Weak senior sister.

Zhou Qing sat down and held Bai Ruoyue in his arms. They faced each other. Bai Ruoyue leaned her head on Zhou Qing's neck, silent.

The majestic life force continuously penetrated into their bodies, and even formed a vortex with the two of them as the center.

This huge life force repaired the injuries suffered by the two people bit by bit, making people feel warm all over.

These life forces also drill deeper into the body, either settling or merging.

"Junior brother, it feels so good..." Bai Ruoyue said in a low voice.

"..." Zhou Qing didn't know how to respond.

Senior Sister, given our current position, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to say such things.

Zhou Qing sensed his own body and found that bits of vitality covered every part of him.

Skin, flesh, tendons, internal organs, bones...

Vitality permeates every part, making them grow more vibrant and more graceful.

A body full of vitality and a body withered are naturally completely different concepts.

Apart from anything else, the former is more resilient, more able to withstand hardships, and has a higher tolerance rate when practicing.

This also means that you can practice faster.

Inexplicably, Zhou Qing felt that his body was lighter, his breath was long, and a feeling of immortality came over him.

Of course, this must be just an illusion.

However, this also shows that Zhou Qing's lifespan should have increased to a certain extent.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing discovered that Bai Ruoyue in his arms was actually twisting her body slightly.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I feel a little itchy." Bai Ruoyue blushed a little.

"itch?"

Zhou Qing sensed it briefly and found that the injuries on her tendons, veins, internal organs and bones were gradually recovering, and her vitality healed everything.

No wonder it itches.

Zhou Qing told Bai Ruoyue about the situation.

"This Pond of Life is truly miraculous." Bai Ruoyue was somewhat delighted. "Maybe by the time I'm done soaking in it and come out, my injuries will be completely healed."

It will not leave any sequelae and will not affect Bai Ruoyue's future practice.

As time passed, Bai Ruoyue felt extremely itchy and could not bear it at all.

A large amount of vitality entered her body, which not only healed her injuries, but also reshaped her broken parts, giving her a sense of rebirth.

So Bai Ruoyue's twisting amplitude gradually increased, and Zhou Qing's expression became more and more strange.

Big sister, stop it, you want me to commit a crime...

"ah!"

At a certain moment, Bai Ruoyue screamed and pressed her entire face against Zhou Qing's neck, not daring to show it.

But the part that was exposed was so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood.

"Junior brother, you..." Bai Ruoyue wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to continue.

"Big sister, I didn't mean it. It was a natural reaction. I couldn't control it."

Zhou Qing tried his best to make his tone sound normal.

But there was good news. Bai Ruoyue was so frightened that she couldn't move, and her body was stiffly sticking to Zhou Qing.

Just because of their posture, she was sitting right on Zhou Qing.

After a while, An Lang ran in. She listened from outside but heard no sound from inside. She was afraid that Zhou Qing and the others had drowned...

When she came in and saw the two people's posture, An Lang immediately covered his eyes with his hands, but a big gap was left.

Don’t look at anything inappropriate. I, An Lang, am a polite person.

But what are you and the others doing?

An Lang, who was still a virgin before her death, said she couldn't understand it.

Watching An Lang, with his eyes slitted, gradually approaching the Pool of Life, he was about to put his head in front of them to observe carefully.

Zhou Qing's face darkened, and he directly exercised his rights as a ghost master and threw An Lang out.

Why is a little girl so curious?

The vitality in the Pool of Life was extremely strong, and Zhou Qing and the other person absorbed it for an entire night.

For a long time, Zhou Qing was... tortured.

Later on, Bai Ruoyue's body no longer felt itchy. She felt extremely comfortable and relaxed, and she even fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping senior sister, Zhou Qing reached out and poked her face, which was quite soft.

Bai Ruoyue looked even more fragile while sleeping. Zhou Qing pinched her again and again, finding it very interesting.

By morning, the pool of life had become crystal clear, all the life force had been sucked out.

Bai Ruoyue woke up, looked up at Zhou Qing and grinned foolishly.

"You've fallen asleep, haven't you?"

"Always talking about me." Bai Ruoyue muttered.

Bai Ruoyue felt a little uncomfortable, as if something was biting her. She moved, and her face turned red again. Why was Junior Brother so late in the morning...

Zhou Qing looked normal. A day's plan begins in the morning. It was just a natural reaction. It was not his fault.

If you want to blame someone, blame Brother Shu. He dropped his skills and his elixirs, which made him always very angry.

It’s all Brother Shu’s fault!

"Master sister, how do you feel?"

"It's much better now. I don't feel the pain anymore." Bai Ruoyue nodded.

“And in many aspects, my condition is better than before I was injured!”

"Junior brother, this is a blessing in disguise for us."

"It's really hard to enjoy such a blessing." Zhou Qing shook his head.

He even suspected that if he hadn't drunk some luck, he probably wouldn't have run in this direction.

Zhou Qing stood up and naturally lifted up Bai Ruoyue. When he stood up, he realized where his hand was on Bai Ruoyue.

It was so fleshy that the fingers sank right into it, leaving traces and creating cracks in the flesh.

He glanced at Bai Ruoyue.

The eldest sister buried her head in him again, her face flushed. Without saying a word, she intertwined her legs around Zhou Qing's waist.

Zhou Qing walked to the center of the pool calmly, bent down, picked up the stone covered with grass and the bead of life under the stone, and put them into his space bag.

They are all treasures and cannot be wasted.

A magical thing happened. After these things disappeared, the water level in the pond actually slowly decreased. Eventually, all the water was drained away, leaving only an empty pond.

“Perhaps in a few years, a pool of life will appear here again.”

"I'm afraid we won't live to see that time." Bai Ruoyue replied in a muffled voice.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If I can become an immortal, maybe I still have a chance."

The formation of the pool of life requires the right time and place.

If destiny is here, then in the years to come it will gradually gather vitality again, forming new pearls of life and making the pool of life reappear.

But that is too difficult, depends a lot on luck, and takes a long time.

After leaving the empty pond, Zhou Qing asked, "Big Sister, can you stand up now?"

"Okay, I feel fine now."

"Your illusion." Zhou Qing said, "Although the Pond of Life is magical, you still need to rest for two days before you can fully recover."

But normal activities will definitely be fine.

Bai Ruoyue lowered her long and powerful legs from Zhou Qing's waist and stepped on the ground.

"Junior brother, your hand..."

“Ohhhh.”

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Zhou Qing took his hand away embarrassedly, and the sunken flesh immediately returned to its original shape.

He couldn't see what was going on under the clothes, but he estimated that there should be red marks...

Bai Ruoyue also loosened her hands around Zhou Qing's neck and took a few steps back, but this step allowed Zhou Qing to see something incredible.

The wet clothes clung tightly to Bai Ruoyue's body, fully highlighting her slender waist and beautiful curves. Her figure was so perfect and eye-catching.

"Ahem!" Zhou Qing coughed twice, "Big Sister, please change your clothes. They are wet."

Bai Ruoyue's face has not changed at all, it has been red since she woke up.

After hearing Zhou Qing's words, she glanced at Zhou Qing and immediately looked away.

His true Qi was steaming and white smoke was rising, and the wet clothes were actually dried directly.

Zhou Qing looked at it with envy, thinking that the release of true energy was really capricious.

Bai Ruoyue walked up to him again, grabbed his clothes, and helped him in the same way.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Bai Ruoyue looked at Zhou Qing and suddenly reached out and hugged him.

"It is I who should thank you, Junior Brother."

Zhou Qing smiled and touched the senior sister's head.

"Thanking you all the time is too unfamiliar."

"Why are you like my dad and touching my head?" Bai Ruoyue muttered.

“La la la~”

At this time, An Lang came in humming a song that might be from his hometown. After seeing the two of them, he covered his eyes again.

"Sir, am I here at a bad time?"

Zhou Qing was speechless. You bastard, you came at the wrong time, don’t you know?

Bai Ruoyue silently let go of Zhou Qing and stood aside.

"Sir, there really aren't any wild beasts in this area. I didn't even see a blade of grass."

"All vitality is gathered in the Pool of Life..." Zhou Qing looked back at the empty pool.

It's so horrible.

Behind its tremendous vitality is the desertedness of this cliff and even above the waterfall.

The ultimate life, the ultimate death.

"It's still early, let's rest here for a while before heading out."

Zhou Qing took out some dried beast meat and handed it to Bai Ruoyue, and gave An Lang a few incense sticks. An Lang happily ran to the corner to inhale the fragrance.

Zhou Qing once asked An Lang why he always ran to an empty corner when he inhaled incense.

Then An Lang answered.

"I'm afraid you're cheating on me, young master."

Zhou Qing was immediately speechless.

How could I, a grown man, compete with you for delicious food?

The devil's heart is to judge a gentleman's belly! That night, Zhou Qing's soul left his body and sucked up all the incense that An Lang lit, not giving An Lang any to eat.

"Oh, by the way, Senior Sister, this is your space bag." Zhou Qing said, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have many detoxification pills, so I had to remove your mark and look for it in your space bag."

Bai Ruoyue silently took the space bag. She also had some girls' clothes in it. Wouldn't this be seen...

But since he is my junior fellow apprentice, it doesn’t matter.

A few hours later, Zhou Qing decided to set off and leave Black Mountain.

"Where are we running to?" Bai Ruoyue was a little worried. "How long will it take to find a way out?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I was born with an extraordinary sense of direction. I remember clearly which direction Black Cloud Town is. Follow me and you won't get lost."

In fact, it was Brother Shu who had dropped a rare guiding item on him - the guiding grass.

As long as you put a leaf in one place, the guiding grass will always point in that direction.

Zhou Qing placed a leaf in the peach forest.

get lost?

It doesn't exist, okay.

An Lang brought the two of them to the cliff, and this time the little female ghost played a very important role.

This ghost is raised in the right way.

Following the guidance of the guiding grass, Zhou Qing moved forward carefully.

He had run wildly all the way and covered a very long distance, so the wild beasts he met this time were not as scary as before.

But after walking for a while, Bai Ruoyue appeared on Zhou Qing's back.

Take care of the wounded.

Holding the senior sister's thigh and feeling the wonderful massage on his back, Zhou Qing walked briskly, feeling very energetic and not feeling tired at all.

He is no longer in danger now. With the help of the divine object and the water of life, he has recovered most of his strength and his body has become even stronger.

Zhou Qing even felt that he was about to break through again.

During the process of leaving the mountain, Bai Ruoyue remained quiet and silent, appearing to be unusually well-behaved.

When it was getting dark, Zhou Qing and his companion finally walked out of Black Mountain safely and returned to the martial arts hall.

"Big sister, little brother, you are back." Shen Yu jumped over and asked curiously:

"Little Junior Brother, why are you carrying Senior Sister on your back?"

Zhou Qing sighed, "We encountered some unexpected events when we entered the mountains this time."

Others also came over one after another, and Zhou Qing told Shen Yu about what had happened to them, causing her to exclaim in surprise.

"The Huang family is so despicable! You didn't even provoke them, but they actually set their sights on you!" Shen Yu was indignant.

Shen Long clenched his fist and loosened it, "If you meet the Huang family in the future, you must never let them go easily."

"I will settle this account with the Huang family in the future." Zhou Qing shook his head and had already listed the Huang family as an enemy.

If the four people from the Huang family hadn't blocked their way, they wouldn't have encountered the giant snake. With his and Bai Ruoyue's strength, there would be no problem for them to get out of the mountain safely.

"Where is my father?" Bai Ruoyue asked when she saw that Bai Tian was not there.

"Master went to the Yun family."

"I feel like my dad has been to the Yun family quite often recently." Bai Ruoyue was a little confused.

After staying in the martial arts hall for a while, Zhou Qing was about to return to the peach forest, but Bai Ruoyue stopped him.

"Junior brother, I'll go with you."

"OK."

But after leaving the martial arts gym, Bai Ruoyue put her hand on Zhou Qing's shoulder from behind again.

This is... I have to recite it again?

"Junior brother, carry me." Bai Ruoyue said in a low voice.

“…”

We are going to Taolin, it would not be good if Aunt Mo saw us.

But Zhou Qing still carried Bai Ruoyue on his back. But the moment they stepped into the peach forest, Lu Qingmo, who was standing alone outside, sensed something and turned his head to look in that direction.

She saw everything there, and Lu Qingmo narrowed her eyes slightly.
