It soon became late at night.
The candlelight illuminated Su Nian's profile. After explaining the last cultivation details of the Glazed Echo, Su Nian earnestly asked Shen Xingyue a question.
"Have you remembered everything I said today?"
Shen Xingyue nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Um...hehe...I only remembered most of it, and there's still a small part I haven't remembered."
"It's alright. What I'm saying is just breaking down this cultivation technique to help you understand it better during your studies. Get some rest tonight and come find me first thing tomorrow morning. I'll take you to a place with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate."
"Yes, thank you, Master!"
"Alright, you should rest now. Your teacher should head back as well."
Su Nian stood up, bid farewell to Shen Xingyue, and left.
Shen Xingyue waved goodbye from behind him, "See you tomorrow, Master!"
Su Nian waved to her with her back to her.
After saying goodbye to Shen Xingyue, he arrived at the center of the compound.
Here, Qian Shudie, drenched in sweat, finally completed the task assigned to her by Su Nian. Panting, she lay on the ground, gazing up at the starry sky, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
Suddenly, a familiar face came into her view.
Qian Shudie looked at Su Nian and sat up, but before she could sit up completely, her body fell backward uncontrollably.
With a thud, she fell right onto Su Nian's lap.
Su Nian's long black hair fell naturally onto Qian Shudie's cheek. Although her pretty face was now pale with exhaustion, she still managed to force a smile.
"Hehe... I've completed all the tasks you gave me, Brother Su Nian, aren't you amazing?"
Su Nian looked up at the bucket that was almost overflowing and gave a soft "hmm".
"Well done, but..." He reached out and flicked Qian Shudie's forehead, "Call him Master!"
Qian Shudie covered her head and muttered something in dissatisfaction.
She didn't make a sound, but even so, Su Nian could still sense that the two words she said were "bad guy".
Qian Shudie took a deep breath, lay down on Su Nian's lap, looked at the starry sky, and said contentedly, "So comfortable~ I wish I could enjoy this kind of treatment every night. It would make all the hard work during the day feel worthwhile."
Su Nian remained silent.
Qian Shudie blinked curiously and asked, "Brother Su Nian, speaking of which... when we were on a date outside in Demon Emperor City, you were lying on my lap, was it like this? I remember you looked very comfortable and relaxed back then."
Su Nian closed her eyes. "That was just an act. The reason I chose to stay in the Demon Emperor City was only for the Three Lives Stone."
Speaking of the Three Lives Stone, Qian Shudie has always had a question in her heart.
She asked, "By the way, Brother Su Nian, I once heard Gong Lengxue say that the Three Lives Stone is pure black, but why is the Three Lives Stone that I stole that day seven-colored?"
“Because…” Su Nian opened her mouth, but couldn’t get the words out.
Clearly, Su Liuli went to the Samsara Demon Clan first that day.
Everything was going according to Gong Lengxue's plan. She herself was a member of the Reincarnation Demon Clan who had experienced reincarnation. If she could see some kind of future, Su Nian would not be surprised.
She knew from the beginning that Su Liuli would obtain the Three Lives Stone in this lifetime, which is why she tried every means to get close to her.
However, what puzzled Su Nian was that the Three Lives Stone did not disappear along with Su Liuli, but instead turned into a seven-colored Three Lives Stone.
Now, the original Three Lives Stone and the Seven-Colored Three Lives Stone coexist within his body.
The Seven-Colored Three-Life Stone has undoubtedly undergone transformation by Su Liuli's power, otherwise it would not emit such light.
He said nothing, but gently stroked the hair on Qian Shudie's forehead.
His movements were light and gentle, and the moonlight fell on his face, making him look like a handsome man amidst a beautiful landscape.
Qian Shudie stared at this scene, lost in thought.
"Books and discs".
Su Nian spoke slowly.
The bright full moon became a splendid lamp, the chirping of cicadas was the accompaniment, the refreshing evening breeze blew his long hair, and the fever fell on Qian Shudie's face, blurring her eyes.
This dreamlike scene was just like what the girl had been hoping for in countless dreams. Su Nian spoke slowly, and she stared intently at it.
"Let's go back, okay?"
The girl's expectations gradually faded.
She actually understood that reality wouldn't develop in the direction she expected.
She gave a wry smile, pursed her red lips, and asked, "Is it because you don't like me as a person, or because you don't like my identity?"
Su Nian sighed softly.
"It's all the same. You are both Qian Shudie and the princess of the Illusion Demon Clan. You can't be separated."
Qian Shudie sat up.
She lowered her head and slowly approached Su Nian, as if she wanted to leave a kiss on Su Nian's face.
But Su Nian stopped him.
"Different statuses, respect yourselves."
Qian Shudie remained silent.
She simply stood up and went back to her room.
Looking at Qian Shudie's desolate figure, Su Nian felt a headache coming on.
Xu Xinrou emerged from the shadows; she had been watching from the sidelines for some time now.
She was holding a food box in her hand, which contained steaming hot food.
Logically speaking, the Foundation Establishment stage doesn't require as much food, but Qian Shudie is physically weak, and she was worried that she would need to replenish her nutrition after completing the mission, so she prepared meals for her well in advance.
I never expected to run into such a scene.
Su Nian came to Xu Xinrou's side and saw the food box she was holding, so she understood what Xu Xinrou was planning to do.
He chuckled awkwardly and asked, "When did you arrive?"
Xu Xinrou's eyebrows arched into crescent moons as she smiled and said, "It started when she was lying on your lap, didn't it?"
Su Nian: "..."
"Sigh, you're so popular, what are we going to do in the future?" Xu Xinrou said resentfully, "If this continues, I won't be able to keep up."
