The next day at midday, sunlight streamed through the window into the dimly lit room.
Murong Liyue leaned lazily against the bed, her hair loose and a few strands falling casually over her fair, snow-white shoulders, adding a touch of allure to her cool and aloof demeanor.
Starry eyes slightly parted as she gazed at Qin Luo, who was focused on getting dressed, her eyes filled with tender affection.
Although Murong Liyue wanted to dress him herself as usual, she was simply unable to do so at this moment.
She could only gently bite her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and a soft, weak moan escaped from her cherry-red lips:
"It's all your fault... You've made it so that I don't even have the strength to tidy your clothes."
Hearing this, Qin Luo turned around and looked at Murong Liyue's languid and delicate appearance. Feeling tenderness, he walked over, sat down by the bed, reached out and stroked Murong Liyue's cheek, and said softly:
"You should rest well; I can handle these things myself."
Murong Liyue grasped Qin Luo's hand, pressed her face against his palm, feeling the familiar warmth, and murmured, "You rarely come back, yet I can't even do this little thing."
Qin Luo chuckled and pinched Murong Liyue's nose.
"What are you saying? There's a long road ahead, plenty of opportunities for you to take care of me."
At this point, Qin Luo seemed to remember something, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a jade talisman.
This jade talisman was the same one he had bought at the Xuancheng auction. When he saw it then, the silver spiritual energy within him stirred, which is why he bought it without thinking.
Although the auctioneer said that there was a first-level master-level spirit array sealed inside, it wouldn't be of much help to Qin Luo at the moment, so it was just right to give it to Murong Liyue.
After all, his physique was exactly the same as hers, and Murong Liyue could do the same thing as him in penetrating the spiritual array. This jade talisman might not be very useful in his hands, but if it were in Murong Liyue's hands, with her current cultivation level of just reaching the Body Tribulation stage, this array could be her trump card.
"Qin Luo, what's this?"
"This is a gift I found for you outside,"
A gentle smile played on Qin Luo's lips as he placed the jade talisman in Murong Liyue's palm, took her hand in his, and slowly said:
"You can study it when you have time. This jade talisman contains a first-tier master-level spirit array, which may be of some help to you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with delight. She knew that the more she cultivated, the more she could feel how special the spiritual seal she had condensed was.
Half a year ago, she accidentally learned that her spirit seal could actually penetrate the spirit array! This made her overjoyed at the time, but because of Dan Bingli's disappearance, she used all the spirit points Qin Luo left her to buy flying message notes.
That's why I haven't been able to buy some spirit arrays to test them properly.
Murong Liyue gripped the jade talisman tightly, feeling its warm touch and the warmth emanating from Qin Luo's palm. Her voice was slightly choked with emotion:
“The outside world is not as peaceful as the Lingyuan Sect. You are out there braving the wind and rain, and you probably can’t even take care of your own safety, yet you are always thinking of me like this.”
Qin Luo raised his hand and pinched that smooth cheek, saying in an annoyed tone:
"Don't overthink it. We've become Daoist partners. If I don't treat you well, who else will I treat well?"
Having said that, he straightened up and whispered his instructions:
"What you should do most right now is to get some rest. I have some things to take care of, and I'll come see you later."
The gentle, soft words made Murong Liyue's heart flutter, and she felt as if she were floating on soft clouds, completely intoxicated.
If it weren't for the lingering fatigue and soreness in her body, she would have wanted to hold Qin Luo back from leaving the room, wanting only to stay with him like this forever.
Murong Liyue, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, leaned against the headboard and nodded obediently as she watched Qin Luo turn away, his slender figure disappearing into the doorway.
That tightly closed door divided her world in two: one half was filled with his warmth and sweetness, and the other half was filled with emptiness and loneliness after he left.
Qin Luo walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and let out a long sigh of relief.
But the next moment, he raised an eyebrow.
A voluptuous figure was sitting on a recliner in the attic hall.
The woman wore a tight-fitting long dress that perfectly accentuated her breathtaking curves. The hem of the dress cascaded around the chaise lounge, further emphasizing her slender waist, which seemed as thin as a handful, creating a striking visual contrast with her full hips.
At this moment, the woman's eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a resentful expression. Beneath her high, straight nose, her rosy lips were upturned, carrying a hint of complaint.
Her casual yet alluring posture makes it hard to look away once your eyes are on her.
Huang Lu! How could she be here?
"Lu'er... what brings you here? I... I just got back not long ago, so I didn't..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huang Lu leaped off the recliner like a gust of wind. In a few steps, she was in front of Qin Luo, leaning against his strong chest with practiced ease, her arms encircling his waist.
Huang Lu twitched her nose, took a light sniff, and said jokingly:
"As expected, Sister Liyue is a sneaky eater; you smell like her all over you."
After saying that, Huang Lu raised her head, and the resentment in her eyes faded a bit at this moment, replaced by an intimacy and joy of reuniting with Qin Luo after a long separation.
"Luo Lang, Lu'er misses you~"
Whew~ I almost forgot that Huang Lu isn't as extreme as them. It's all my fault for being so anxious lately.
Qin Luo calmed down, a doting smile appearing on his face, and said softly:
I miss you too.
Hearing this, Huang Lu tightened her embrace, snuggled closer, and said coquettishly, "You can't stay away for so long this time, or Lu'er will be sad."
Qin Luo pulled Huang Lu into his arms, feeling her ample figure. He thought to himself that there were still many differences between people. Huang Lu's figure was probably only surpassed by Yi Ting and You Yueying. Oh, and Su Yaoyue was far superior in certain aspects...
"Okay, I'm not leaving anymore. I'll spend more time with you all this time. By the way, Lu'er, how did you know I was back?"
Huang Lu looked up and winked mischievously:
"Have you forgotten? You're ranked on the sect's popularity list," Huang Lu said with a slight smile and a playful glint in her eyes. She tapped Qin Luo's chest and continued, "Everyone in the Lingyuan Sect is talking about how your cultivation has reached the Spirit Tribulation stage!"
As she spoke, Huang Lu took out a stack of telegram slips from her sleeve and waved them in front of Qin Luo.
"Look, these people all came early this morning. Senior Wu Changkong, Wan Shuhua and the others were hoping to get in touch with you as soon as they knew you were back."
"I saw that you and Sister Liyue had just reunited after a long separation and were deeply in love. I didn't want these trivial matters to spoil your mood, so I took the liberty of stopping them for you."
