Qin Luo knew that his cultivation progress could not be hidden from You Yueying, and now he was truly helpless against her soul, which had been restored to its original state.
Since surviving his physical tribulation, he had deliberately restrained himself, reducing the frequency of his cultivation as much as possible. He feared that the slightest carelessness would expose the system within him, something he was determined to avoid at all costs.
“Senior You, cultivation is a personal matter. Only I know the rhythm and timing of it best. Others can never fully understand it.”
After a pause, Qin Luo reassured her:
"As for my contact with Yue Lishan, I know what I'm doing. Finding the Taixu Sacred Lotus to help you revive is the top priority right now. During this crucial period, I will focus all my energy on improving my strength and will not have much contact with irrelevant people."
"But my mind is made up to attempt the Spirit Tribulation. Before that, I hope you can give me some space..."
You Yueying was well aware of Qin Luo's inexplicable wariness. Ever since she broke the ring's seal, the boy had rarely cultivated in front of her.
This request today is undoubtedly a frank conversation with her, a tactful way of telling her to leave.
Although You Yueying was somewhat displeased, with her intelligence, how could she not understand? This boy's cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary people; he must be hiding some unspeakable secret.
She simply wasn't willing to delve into it; such secrets were truly beneath her notice, but this only applied to Qin Luo. If it were anyone else, once they piqued You Yueying's interest, it would be incredibly easy for her to extract their hidden secrets.
However, when she heard Qin Luo promise that he would not have much contact with Yue Lishan during this period, You Yueying's tense nerves relaxed for some reason.
But in an instant, she remembered the dangers of the spiritual tribulation and the inexplicable situations that Qin Luo had encountered during his body tribulation, and her worries surged up again.
He raised an eyebrow, his face regaining its usual indifference:
"Don't worry, I don't really care to know your little secrets. But are you sure you don't need me to stay here and protect you? Each of the three tribulations to become a saint is no joke."
Although her voice was cold, the underlying concern was hard to conceal.
“Senior, it is precisely because the spiritual tribulation is so perilous that I must face it alone. Only by tempering myself in this life-or-death test can I truly grow. Moreover, if I cannot even overcome this spiritual tribulation, how can I help you revive, or even stand firm in this treacherous world?”
You Yueying remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing Qin Luo's words. After a long while, she sighed, her tone softening considerably:
"Fine, since you insist, I have nothing more to say. But remember this: if you encounter any insurmountable crisis during your tribulation, call me immediately."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo nodded, then stared intently at the ring in his hand, his meaning unclear.
You Yueying gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that this kid was probably determined to make her leave.
As the thought ceased, Youyue's shadow emerged from the ring, her form ethereal yet exuding a unique majesty.
She then gave Qin Luo a deep look, her gaze containing an indescribable sense of melancholy. Finally, she shook her head, and with a flash, disappeared from Lingyou Valley, flying into the sky.
High in the sky, You Yueying looked down upon this desolate region. Countless demonic beasts flashed past her eyes, each following its own laws of survival.
However, You Yueying's mind was not on this.
Her thoughts drifted back a thousand years.
At that time, she and her sister were both stunningly beautiful and were known as the Twin Beauties. Their fame spread far and wide, and countless young talents were captivated by them.
Among them, Wan Run was the one who pursued her most fervently. At the time, he was considered a talented prodigy who mainly cultivated the path of the divine soul.
At that time, she was focused on cultivation, full of confidence in her talent, and firmly believed that she would most likely step into the Heavenly Origin Realm and stand at the pinnacle of countless worlds in the future.
This strong self-confidence made her extremely arrogant during that period, and she couldn't tolerate other men. In her opinion, these people didn't even deserve her attention.
Therefore, when Wanrun confessed his feelings to her, she rejected him without hesitation, even saying that he was not good enough for her.
This foreshadowed the trouble that would follow.
Later, while she was fiercely fighting with the extraterrestrial infiltrators, she never expected that Wan Run would secretly collude with the extraterrestrials to launch a sneak attack on her from behind.
He even attempted to control his own soul and refine her into a slave.
In that critical moment, she exerted all her strength, sending both herself and the extraterrestrial god into the exile space. In the exile space, she was severely injured and ultimately perished alongside the extraterrestrial god.
However, both sides have a backup plan, waiting for the day they return to the world...
"Wanrun, I will settle this score with you one day."
A soft murmur came from high above, filled with obvious hatred.
But the next moment, when You Yueying's gaze fell on a corner of the desolate region, the hatred in her eyes instantly transformed into complex emotions. The place where her gaze fell was the location of Lingyou Valley.
That gaze seemed to pierce through endless distance, seeing that straight figure.
You Yueying herself couldn't quite explain what kind of feelings she had for Qin Luo now; she just knew that lately her emotions would fluctuate wildly because of his every word and action.
This left her somewhat confused, unsure where this strange feeling had started.
These were the grand pronouncements he made to persuade himself when he escaped from the Netherworld Continent, filled with despair and resigned to death.
