A delicate fragrance lingered around his nose, and a pair of slightly cool hands gently supported Qin Xin's back. Qin Xin also felt two soft mounds against his chest, but the sensation quickly disappeared.
Because at the very moment Qin Xin was about to hit the ground, Luo Lingyan, though conflicted, still stepped forward and caught him.
Because of his weakness, Qin Xin lay directly on top of Luo Lingyan, causing the latter to blush slightly.
For Luo Lingyan, she had never had intimate contact with a man before. She had a relationship with Qin Xin because of the side effects of the Luo Shen flower, but she was not conscious at the time, so she did not feel much. However, now that Qin Xin was lying in her arms, she couldn't help but shudder.
However, she did not resist, and her gaze towards Qin Xin was somewhat strange, perhaps because Qin Xin had blocked Xia Qi's attack.
"What! Are you still planning to make another move!"
Luo Lingyan's originally gentle nature immediately turned cold when she looked at Xia Qi, and her words were filled with anger.
The five-colored lotus shimmered with five-colored light, forming a five-colored true energy veil that clung to its body, vaguely showing signs of condensing into a true energy armor.
"Half-step Qi Sea Realm!"
Xia Qi first exclaimed in surprise, then his expression immediately changed, and he said in a somewhat ingratiating tone, "Miss Luo, you misunderstand. I was just attacking that boy and didn't control my strength for a moment."
"Hmph! Get lost!" Luo Lingyan scolded, without saying another word.
"Miss Luo, it's all a misunderstanding, but I'm still taking this boy with me!" Xia Qi's eyes narrowed slightly as he persisted.
I'm saying it one last time, get out!
Luo Lingyan issued a final ultimatum, her aura surging, as if a single word from Xia Qi would unleash a devastating attack.
"In that case, Miss Luo, we'll take our leave now!"
Despite his reluctance, Xia Qi left with his guards and the Ruan clan members, despite his unwillingness to accept Luo Lingyan's resolute attitude.
However, before leaving, Xia Qi turned his head and glanced at Xia Yue, who had already woken up from her cultivation, a somewhat dangerous smile appearing on his lips.
"Miss Luo, how is Qin Xin?"
Although Xia Yue was cultivating, she was still somewhat aware of what was happening around her, and she felt grateful to Qin Xin for saving her a second time.
Xia Yue knew something about the cultivation technique Xia Qi practiced, because Xia Qi had tried to steal her Yin essence many times in the palace. Fortunately, there were many powerful people guarding the palace, which prevented Xia Qi from succeeding.
"There is no danger to his life."
As Luo Lingyan spoke, she glanced at Qin Xin, who was pale-faced and unconscious on the ground, and her expression was somewhat conflicted.
She had considered simply killing the person in front of her, since Qin Xin had taken her virginity. But then she thought that the reason they had a relationship was mainly because she herself had stepped out of the protective formation; otherwise, even a Qi Sea Realm expert would have had difficulty getting close to her.
well……
Luo Lingyan let out a barely perceptible sigh, but then sat down cross-legged and used her true energy to heal Qin Xin's injuries.
Strangely, after Luo Lingyan's true energy entered Qin Xin's body, their martial spirits seemed to resonate. As Qin Xin began to recover, Luo Lingyan's true energy also slowly increased.
After a while, Luo Lingyan reluctantly withdrew her hand. Although she was healing Qin Xin, she felt that her internal energy had not been depleted much, but had actually increased considerably.
“Dual cultivation…”
A blush appeared on Luo Lingyan's face. After experiencing the cultivation speed brought about by dual cultivation, she couldn't help but indulge in daydreams.
"I wonder what Miss Luo is muttering to herself?"
While the three women were waiting for Qin Xin to wake up in the stone hall, they were getting a little bored. Just then, they saw Luo Lingyan murmuring softly to herself.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Luo Lingyan immediately cut off her daydreams and hurriedly said, somewhat guiltily.
After a long period of healing, Qin Xin had recovered considerably, and his face began to regain its color. Luo Lingyan also slowly withdrew her jade-like hands.
"I wonder what Miss Luo's plans are next?" Xia Yue asked softly.
Although Xia Qi had already left, she knew her brother's character; he was vengeful and held grudges. If it were the person in front of her...
"Let's go take a look at the Luoshen Palace," Luo Lingyan said calmly.
“Great! We can travel together. What do you think, Miss Luo?” Xia Yue said leisurely.
"Alright," Luo Lingyan nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Xia Yue was surprised, but also somewhat delighted, because she knew her second brother Xia Qi's personality—he was vindictive and would hold a grudge. With the protection of the powerful Luo Lingyan, they would be much safer in the ruins of the Luo Shen Sect.
The main reason why Luo Lingyan agreed so readily was that although she had already entered the half-step Qi Sea Realm, her actual strength might not be as strong as before. The advancement of Martial Spirit required her to reconvert the true qi in her body in order to exert her strength, which would take some time. In addition, she had not yet settled her score with Qin Xin.
~~~~~~
In the center of Luoshen Gate, three women and one man were walking slowly.
Behind the three women, Qin Xin felt uncomfortable with every step he took. The awkward atmosphere made him very uncomfortable, and Luo Lingyan seemed to act as if nothing had happened regarding the matter between the two women.
"Kid, hurry up and slip away before that girl's true energy is fully transformed!" Danqing's voice echoed in Qin Xin's mind.
Although no one could perceive Luo Lingyan's current state, it could not escape Danqing's old eyes.
"I want to too, but look," Qin Xin thought to himself with a hint of helplessness.
Along the way, Qin Xin did consider sneaking away, but Luo Lingyan kept a close eye on him. Whenever he made a slight movement, he was met with a pair of murderous eyes.
"I'd better find a chance to slip away quickly. It seems Luo Lingyan doesn't intend to let me go." Qin Xin quickly cleared his mind of distractions and could only follow behind the three women.
On the way to Luoshen Palace, Xia Yue and Zhan Qingqi learned about what the group had discovered during their cultivation. They were both surprised that Qin Xin had defeated Ruan Xiaoman. They knew that not long ago, Qin Xin had fought to a draw with Sanjie, who was at the fourth level of the Awakening Realm, but that was because Sanjie had held back. Now, however, he had directly defeated, and even killed, Ruan Xiaoman, who possessed a five-star martial spirit—Youhan Blood Python—and whose cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Awakening Realm.
"Qin Xin, did you have some kind of extraordinary encounter?" Zhan Qingqi, who was usually taciturn, asked with curiosity in her cool voice.
"With the blessing of a spiritual artifact, my strength is naturally a bit stronger," Qin Xin replied, shrugging.
As for what happened with Luo Lingyan, he didn't mention the fact that it allowed him to directly open up three main meridians. However, as Qin Xin spoke, he sensed a chill, because Luo Lingyan's somewhat cold eyes were looking at him, and her aura was subtly fluctuating.
"What's wrong with Miss Luo?" Xia Yue noticed the flow of true energy around Luo Lingyan and asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing, how far is it from the Luoshen Palace?" Luo Lingyan changed the subject.
However, her clear eyes looked at Qin Xin with a coldness that carried a hint of threat.
"It's just ahead," Xia Yue pointed ahead.
Looking in the direction the finger was pointing, a number of martial artists had gathered there, including several from the Eastern Wilderness Academy. Of course, the Fifth Prince Xia Ming was also there. The group seemed to be in a standoff, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
