Not far from the huge, wrapped-up black flower, as the dust settled and the ruins returned to tranquility, Qin Luo stood upright, his gaze fixed on the wrapped black flower like a bottomless pool.
"Hehe, you're really generous. This is a great opportunity that could allow your cultivation to increase rapidly in a short period of time, and you just gave it to her like that."
As the words echoed, You Yueying emerged from the ring, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery.
"Let me think... you've only known her for a short time, and you've already won her over. Tsk tsk, with her cultivation level, the nourishment from this Spirit-Extinguishing Orchid should be enough for her to break through to the Saint Realm. At that time... unless you want to try the taste of a Saint?" You Yueying's lips curled into a mischievous smile, full of mockery.
"A mere cultivator at the Divine Travel Realm dares to dream of tasting the body of a saint? I don't know whether to say you're incredibly lucky or just overestimating yourself. Aren't you afraid she'll kick you to the curb later?"
Qin Luo remained quietly gazing at the black flower, his expression unchanged, completely ignoring You Yueying's words.
But in his heart he was thinking, so what if she's a saint? Once that girl comes out, she'll be completely at my mercy. However, compared to a saint, he also wanted to try suppressing a supreme expert with his Divine Travel Realm cultivation...
After a long while, suppressing the audacious thoughts in his mind, Qin Luo slowly spoke:
"Senior You are too kind. I don't care what level she will reach in the future, nor do I care how big the gap is between us. I only know that in my heart, she is who she is, the one and only her."
"I gave her this opportunity not for any reward, nor because I coveted anything from her. As for whether she will leave me or look down on my weakness, those are not things I'm considering right now."
At this point, Qin Luo raised his head, his gaze clear and meeting You Yueying's eyes without reservation, and suddenly said earnestly:
"This applies to Senior You as well."
"Heh." Hearing his absurd words, You Yueying only responded with a cold laugh. She naturally understood the double meaning in Qin Luo's words, and then said disdainfully:
"Boy, do you know what you just said?"
"I, You Yueying, was once a powerful and influential figure. Even now, with only a remnant soul remaining, I am no match for you, brat..."
She paused for a moment, then looked into Qin Luo's still clear eyes, feeling inexplicably irritated. This kid has some talent, but his audacity is extraordinary; he actually dared to set his sights on her.
"Even if you only have a wisp of your soul left now, you can't possibly fathom your true nature. There is a world of difference between us, not just in terms of cultivation level, but also in terms of status and experience. Your petty thoughts are utterly foolish to be directed at me."
The black mist spirit stared back at Qin Luo, then said, word by word:
"I advise you to focus your mind on cultivation and improving your strength; that is the right path. As for anything else, don't think about it anymore. You will understand in the future that nothing can withstand absolute power."
After speaking, she crossed her arms and looked at Qin Luo quietly, as if waiting for his response, or as if declaring to him that her attitude was beyond question.
As expected of a woman who has been around for a thousand years, she is not so easy to fool. However, this matter cannot be rushed. In any case, he did not expect to win the heart of a proud and strong woman so easily.
Qin Luo gave a wry smile to himself, then his expression changed. He pretended to be somewhat uncertain and cautiously asked;
"Senior You, your words truly perplex this junior. I really don't understand, what exactly did I say or do that made you think I had any inappropriate thoughts?"
At this point, Qin Luo frowned slightly, his face full of innocence, with a perfectly measured look of confusion in his eyes, as if he really couldn't understand You Yueying's accusations.
Upon hearing his words, You Yueying froze instantly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She naturally understood that Qin Luo was feigning ignorance, but for the moment she couldn't bring herself to lash out.
"Stop pretending to be ignorant. Do you think I can't see through your little scheme?" You Yueying sneered, her tone carrying a hint of mockery and a deeply hidden exasperation.
However, Qin Luo has figured out You Yueying's personality a bit now. As long as he is thick-skinned enough and refuses to admit it, how could she possibly tell him on her own?
Thinking of this, he bowed again, his attitude extremely sincere, "I hope that senior can enlighten me on where I have done wrong."
You Yueying stared intently at Qin Luo, her displeasure growing stronger.
With her experience, how could she not see that Qin Luo was deliberately playing dumb? But just as Qin Luo had expected, she was indeed caught in a dilemma and had no way to directly express her thoughts.
After all, she was once a renowned figure, and that arrogant nature was ingrained in her very being. In the past, she was used to being high above others and respected by all, so how could she easily utter such unpleasant words?
Are you really going to make her disregard her status and angrily say something as undignified as, "You still want to lay a finger on me, a supreme expert?"
“You know perfectly well!” You Yueying said through gritted teeth, “Don’t think I can’t see anything. Your eyes, your tone of voice, everything about you is wrong.”
Qin Luo remained defiant, raising his head with a look of utter confusion in his eyes as he stared at You Yueying. "Senior, I truly do not understand what you are saying. Please speak frankly, and I will certainly correct myself."
Upon hearing this, You Yueying was so angry that her soul trembled. In all her years of life, she had never encountered someone as shameless as Qin Luo.
He could only laugh angrily, "Hmph, keep pretending. I'd like to see how long you can keep up this act. But I'm warning you, you'd better put away those messy thoughts and focus on your cultivation. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you."
As expected of an ancient killer whale, its mind and temperament are extremely difficult to deal with, Qin Luo thought to himself.
As he pondered, a sly glint flashed in the depths of his eyes, followed by a weak cough. The coughs were low and suppressed, as if forced out from the depths of his lungs, each one as if using all his strength, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, You Yueying also noticed his unusual behavior. Her gaze swept over Qin Luo, and she saw that his clothes were disheveled, with mottled bloodstains seeping out from the tears, staining parts of his clothes crimson.
His face, however, exuded an aura of extreme weakness.
