After being slapped away, the egg swayed a few times in the dantian, as if expressing its dissatisfaction and stubbornness.
It then rushed toward the white mist in the sea of qi at an extremely fast speed, but the white mist began to surge, and a pair of mist dragon claws, several times larger than before, began to condense.
Seeing this, the chaotic aura around the Chaos Egg suddenly receded, and it flew away like a shooting star. It drew a strange arc in the Qi Sea, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge.
The massive mist dragon claw that had just condensed missed its target, and the powerful airflow it generated stirred up turbulent waves of spiritual energy within the Qi Sea.
The Chaos Egg flew towards another corner of the Qi Sea. Wherever it passed, the originally orderly flowing spiritual energy gave way, making way for it. It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the location of the Emerald Spirit Vortex.
It hovered above the emerald vortex for a moment, causing the stars within to flicker and be significantly affected. Then, without pausing, it charged towards the dark green flame furnace cauldron.
The moment it approached the Flame Rhythm Furnace, the furnace seemed to sense the arrival of the Chaos Egg. The furnace trembled slightly and emitted a low hum. Spiritual flames surged at the cauldron's mouth, forming a vortex. The Chaos Egg plunged into this vortex and disappeared into the cauldron...
Seeing this bizarre scene, Qin Luo finally felt relieved.
"Luckily, they didn't fight in my dantian, otherwise I would have been in a lot of trouble."
Qin Luo thought to himself, then tried to channel his consciousness into the Flame Furnace to check on the hatching of the Chaos Phoenix Egg. But suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest, which startled him, and he quickly withdrew his consciousness.
But what he saw before him stunned him for a moment.
Murong Liyue's eyes were red, and her small pink fists kept hitting his chest. Each punch landed lightly, more like an intimate interaction between lovers than a blow.
"If you make another decision on your own like this, I..."
Her voice was clearly choked with sobs, her lips trembled slightly, and her words were somewhat broken due to the emotional turmoil.
She tried to make her expression look serious, attempting to reveal a threatening look, but her tearful eyes and slightly trembling lips betrayed her concern.
"I'm not cooperating with you anymore!"
After a long pause, she couldn't think of any good threats, and finally could only say it fiercely. But there wasn't much toughness in her tone; it was more of a worry and fear of loss.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of her hair, which fluttered beside her cheeks, making her look incredibly charming.
Looking at the beauty's concern in front of him, Qin Luo felt a touch of tenderness in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
Judging from the system's recent update, Murong Liyue is currently in the early stages of developing feelings for someone. With 39 points of affection, she is just a little short of obtaining the reward for that stage, which is equivalent to 1000 times the cultivation level of the late-stage Soul Contract Realm.
This is also the fastest shortcut for him to break through to the Soul Contract Realm!
Thinking of this, Qin Luo composed himself, then coughed lightly, his face turning even paler.
Hearing the cough, Murong Liyue's heart tightened. Looking at his pale face, she thought that her blow had been too heavy and aggravated Qin Luo's injury.
Her hand was suddenly left hanging in mid-air. She wanted to reach out and check, but she was afraid of touching the injury again and making the situation worse. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
Her eyes were wide open, tears welling up in them, and tension and worry were constantly intertwined on her face.
"I...I didn't mean to."
Murong Liyue said with a sob in her voice, her tone full of self-blame.
Seeing Murong Liyue's panicked appearance, Qin Luo slightly raised the corners of his mouth and softly comforted her:
"Miss Liyue, don't worry, I'm fine, just some minor injuries."
The voice carried a hint of comfort, but sounded incredibly weak.
Murong Liyue looked at the tiny blood holes on his body. Although they were small, they felt like thorns piercing her heart.
She sniffled, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke:
"You still say you're fine?"
Looking at the worry on her face, Qin Luo hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and gently grasped Murong Liyue's small fist that was floating in the air. The touch was soft and warm.
He then pulled her towards his chest and placed her hand on his chest.
"Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? I just look a bit ferocious."
Qin Luo gazed into her eyes with sincere eyes.
After Murong Liyue carefully sensed Qin Luo's injuries with her spiritual energy and confirmed that they were indeed not serious as he had said, she was relieved.
However, as soon as she relaxed, she immediately realized that her hand was gently stroking Qin Luo's chest.
Her fair cheeks instantly turned like ripe apples, spreading from her cheeks all the way to her neck, looking extremely tempting.
She wanted to pull her hand away, but was afraid that making a big movement would make her seem too flustered. Her eyes flickered uncertainly, and she dared not meet Qin Luo's gaze. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
Seeing her shy expression, Qin Luo's lips curled up slightly, and he said softly:
"Miss Liyue."
Upon hearing his words, Murong Liyue slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Qin Luo's. In that instant, she saw the gentleness and smile in Qin Luo's eyes, and her heart pounded even harder.
"Thank you for your concern."
Qin Luo stared into her eyes and spoke softly, his voice deep and magnetic.
"I......"
Feeling his burning gaze, Murong Liyue finally mustered the courage to utter a single word, but then didn't know how to continue. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the strands of hair around her ears. The hair fluttered softly against her flushed cheeks, adding to her shyness and gentleness.
Qin Luo just looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with a deep affection that was hard to fathom.
In this ambiguous atmosphere, Murong Liyue felt as if she were in a scorching fog, somewhat dizzy and intoxicated. She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, as if she couldn't resist the burning heat of Qin Luo's gaze.
Just as she was about to succumb to the temptation, something suddenly occurred to her, and the blush on her face vanished instantly. Then, she said weakly:
"You...you should focus on recovering first. I'll go check if there are any monsters around that could threaten us."
After speaking, her fingers trembled slightly as she carefully withdrew her hand from Qin Luo's.
As she turned, her hair fluttered gently in the breeze, carrying a hint of haste yet a unique grace. Her steps were light and graceful, seemingly hurried as she tried to escape the unsettling scene, yet an undercurrent of reluctance was subtly revealed.
