Chapter 46 Whispering Sweet nothings
"What Thousand Medicine Island, what Illusionary Sound Sect, what Huanhua Sect, especially that Peach Blossom Valley, they really stood out in this elimination round!"
"That kid from Peach Blossom Valley is driving me crazy!"
"Hey, you know him?"
"I don't know him!"
The cultivator in plain clothes said through gritted teeth, his face dark, "Because of his meddling, I lost over two thousand spirit stones!"
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me when you placed your bet!"
...
At this moment, it wasn't just them; curses rose and fell from the audience. The result of the elimination round was too unexpected, catching many people off guard. They were clutching their depleted spirit stone bags in frustration.
Ye Luo, however, was completely unaware of these events and was vividly describing the intense battle that had just taken place.
On the high platform, Alliance Leader Mu Tai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sect points on the monument and said with a smile, "I am actually looking forward to this year's grand competition."
“The alliance needs fresh blood; that’s the only way for it to develop in the long run,” said an old man in gray. He walked over to him and said, “The younger generation of the Immortal Alliance is in a too comfortable environment and lacks training. This is not a good thing for them.”
Mu Tai sighed and said, "Yes, it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Cultivation is the same."
"Let's see how these younger generations behave in the future. Perhaps we old folks are just worrying too much."
At this moment, Mu Tai looked at his disciple beside him, who was staring blankly at the audience without saying a word, and asked, "Xiao Xuan, what's wrong?"
Yu Xuan averted his gaze and shook his head. "It's nothing."
Mu Tai's face showed worry. He thought of his usually excellent disciple, who almost made a mistake when he was forming his core. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Although you have successfully formed your core, can you tell your master why you failed six times?"
Yu Xuan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before apologetically saying, "Master, it's my fault for being too impatient. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Seeing that he didn't press the matter further, Mu Tai could only sigh helplessly and say, "The worst thing for a cultivator is to have mental demons. If they are not eliminated in time, their cultivation will never advance an inch. You have always been exceptionally intelligent, so you should understand this better."
Yu Xuan clenched his fists. "Master, I know."
"Okay, get some rest when you get back tonight. Tomorrow is the elimination round for the Fengyun Group, so don't mess things up again."
"yes."

"Clang—!" The sound of shattering porcelain came from a room in the inn.
"Bastard, bastard!"
"Junior Sister, don't be angry. Ye Luo only managed to squeeze into the top eight by sheer luck. It was just a cunning scheme. In terms of strength, he is definitely no match for you!"
"Yeah, you should calm down."
"On the field, it's all about skill." Yang Shen put down his teacup and said, "It's just a matter of squeezing into the individual arena. You can teach him a lesson with your skills when the time comes. Why get so worked up here?"
"I'm just angry!"
Bai Ruoqian sat back down in her chair and drank a cup of tea, seemingly calming herself down a bit. She said, "Ye Luo, when the arena matches come, I'll make you pay!"
"Come, drink this cup to the brim!!"
"Congratulations to our junior brother on successfully passing the elimination rounds!"
Inside the inn, the people of Peach Blossom Valley raised their glasses in celebration, attracting many curious glances.
Ye Luo looked smug. "It was a piece of cake, nothing to brag about, hahaha!"
"Alright! Today is just the first battle, everyone must not let your guard down." Ming Cang looked at the drunk Yu Qianling and reminded her, "You little rascal, you still have a match tomorrow, you can't drink anymore!"
Yu Qianling quickly finished the rest of her wine and said with a grin, "Master, don't worry, I'll definitely get you into the top eight tomorrow. I'm the chosen one!"
"Hmph! Of all of you, you're the one I'm most worried about!"
"You're so impulsive. Can't you learn from your junior brother and use a little more wisdom?"
"I know, I know! You're just being long-winded..."
"You brat!"
Nan Muyin chuckled and said, "Master, my third junior sister may lack some things in other areas... but her combat acumen is still excellent, so please don't worry about her."
Yu Qianling chuckled, "Since Senior Brother isn't in a hurry, you should rest."
"Hmph, if you lose your spot tomorrow, I'll skin you alive!"
"Hehe, your skin is tough, you can't peel it off."
After dinner.
After discussing it repeatedly, Ming Cang and the elders decided to find a different inn for everyone to stay in, even though the sect was in decline, they couldn't let it be too shabby.
Ye Luo was able to change to a smaller room as he wished, not because he wanted special treatment, but entirely because of Jun Yi.
"I'm so sleepy..." As soon as Ye Luo entered the comfortable room, she lay down on the bed and didn't want to move at all.
The innkeepers dutifully prepared hot water and immediately bowed and withdrew, the door creaking shut behind them.
Jun Yi transformed into human form and lay down next to Ye Luo. Seeing his tired face, he said softly, "Take a bath first before you sleep."
"Mmm... taking a bath..." Ye Luo mumbled incoherently, without even opening her eyes.
Jun Yi chuckled lightly. It seemed that today's competition had indeed exhausted him. Helpless, he could only take good care of this ancestor.
She skillfully untied the corset belt and loosened the tight waistband, instantly revealing her fair skin in disarray.
Jun Yi's golden eyes darkened slightly, and his rough fingertips caressed her fragrant shoulder, where the red marks that had been left had disappeared.
"Ugh...don't tickle me..."
Jun Yi's Adam's apple bobbed a few times in the shadows. He quickly stripped off Jun Yi's clothes and put him in the bathtub, then carefully washed him.
The warm water made Ye Luo hum comfortably, which reignited Jun Yi's suppressed anger. "You little rascal."
Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, Jun Yi was a little annoyed. He lowered his head and kissed his slightly parted red lips. His kiss was urgent and deep, almost making Ye Luo unable to breathe. He kept pounding his strong shoulders and back.
"Good boy, learn to breathe."
"Change your head, mmm..."
Only when both of them were panting did Jun Yi kiss his lips, quickly wash him, and tuck him into the soft bedding.
Ye Luo accepted his ministrations with equanimity, a feeling that made him somewhat addicted. "Yinbao... will you leave me?"
Seeing that he was half asleep and not speaking, Jun Yi pulled him into his arms under the covers, gently patting his back with his large, warm hands. Sure enough, after a while, the sound of his breathing could be heard as he slept soundly.
Jun Yi looked at the sleeping person in his arms, gazed at the bright moon outside the window and pondered for a long time. He reached out and released a jade slip that could transmit sound. He kissed the person's hair and said softly, "I won't leave."
"Mmm..." Ye Luo seemed to hear a response in her sleep, hugged the warm source beside her, and rubbed her face against the strong chest and fell asleep peacefully.
The next day.
Because there were no matches, Ye Luo was allowed to sleep in, and it was almost noon when he woke up.
"Holy crap, why didn't anyone call me?!"
Jun Yi lay on his side on the bed, propping his chin up with his hand and chuckled, "They called out, but you didn't wake up, so they left first."
"Oh? We'd better hurry."
Ye Luo hurriedly dressed, grabbed Jun Yi, and ran out the door. By the time he arrived at the main stadium, the Fengyun Group competition was already halfway through.
The atmosphere was somewhat strange. Cen Feng and his disciples clenched their fists and cheered excitedly, while Ming Cang and several elders clutched their chests, looking as if they were about to faint.
What happened?
Upon hearing his question, Jian Yu turned around and excitedly exclaimed, "Hahaha, Third Senior Sister is going on a killing spree in the secret realm!"
As expected, Ye Luo smiled; sure enough, she had completely forgotten about the instructions from last night.
He looked toward the central crystal screen and murmured, "Indeed, being an audience member is a completely different experience..."
