On Canghua Mountain, Xuan Yan steadily carried Shen Muqing towards the cold spring. Shen Muqing had numerous wounds, large and small, all of which had been depleted by the recent incident, leaving her extremely weak and unconscious.
He carried her into the water through his outer garment. The cold spring water healed Shen Muqing's external injuries, and Xuan Yan channeled his spiritual power into her.
Under the dual treatment, Shen Muqing's pale face gradually regained color, and her dry lips became moist again, giving her a unique kind of disheveled and desolate beauty.
Perhaps the water in the cold spring was too cold, because Shen Muqing unconsciously curled up in her sleep, trembling slightly.
Xuan Yan realized immediately, and had no choice but to sit with Shen Muqing by the cold spring, keeping her company and warming her with his own body heat.
His body temperature gradually rose, and Shen Muqing wanted more, so she subconsciously hugged him tightly and snuggled against him.
"Qingqing, what should I do with you?"
Almost with a sigh, Xuan Yan lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with deep affection. His hand pressed tightly against Shen Muqing's waist, which was so slender that it seemed as if he could snap it with the slightest force.
Three days later, Shen Muqing opened her eyes refreshed, and a handsome, aloof face was right in front of her. Only then did she realize how ambiguous and intimate their posture was.
Seeing that Xuan Yan's eyes were closed, Shen Muqing tried to break free from his embrace, but just as she was about to move, the hand on her waist suddenly tightened, causing Shen Muqing to press against his chest again.
Both of them were soaking wet, their thin clothes clinging to their skin, and the atmosphere began to heat up.
"woke up?"
"Master, I..."
"Qingqing, it's painful for your teacher."
"?"
Xuan Yan's heat cycle came suddenly and intensely. It seemed that wherever Shen Muqing was, every day was his heat cycle. Only with affection could there be love.
“Master, you need to be more restrained and not keep thinking about such things.”
"Qingqing, have you forgotten that I am a dragon? I am a dragon by nature." After three days of restraint, he stopped hiding after Shen Muqing woke up. Soon, Shen Muqing's clothes were taken off, and Xuan Yan pulled her into a fierce and long match.
Midway through, Shen Muqing couldn't help but call out, "Master, I need to use the restroom."
Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! Everyone has to go to the bathroom! Shen Muqing couldn't hold it in any longer. "I can't hold it in anymore!"
But Xuan Yan didn't let go; instead, he hugged her tighter and tighter. "Right here."
"I don't want to!"
Is this even human language? Shen Muqing simply couldn't accept doing this, but Xuan Yan wouldn't let go.
Finally, Xuan Yan chuckled softly, "Qingqing, don't be shy, I love you no matter what."
Shen Muqing didn't speak, her face flushed red as she leaned on his shoulder. She reached out and pinched Xuan Yan's waist hard, "Bastard."
"I like to hear you scold Qingqing a few more times."
At times like these, Shen Muqing felt that each day was an eternity, wondering when it would end.
Later, Shen Muqing's soul jolted, and a miniature version of Xuan Yan appeared in her consciousness, entwining with her miniature self, becoming one with him.
Who says the woman doesn't have to put in any effort in this kind of thing? Shen Muqing felt she had never been so tired before; it was the kind of exhaustion that left her physically and mentally drained.
She had barely woken up when she fell asleep again; she was just too exhausted.
On Ruoyue Peak, Luo Yi carried Yun Ruoyue back to her room and used his demonic power to heal her.
Now that she had discovered he was a demon, there was no need to hide it anymore. He reverted to his original appearance and stayed by Yun Ruoyue's bedside, never leaving her side.
With him around, Yun Ruoyue would be safe.
A month later, Yun Ruoyue had fully recovered from her injuries, and her cultivation level had increased significantly. She tried countless times to drive Luo Yi out of Ruoyue Peak, but Luo Yi was shameless and she couldn't get rid of him no matter what she did.
Yun Ruoyue had no choice but to leave him to do odd jobs on Ruoyue Peak, entrusting him with all sorts of trivial matters, big and small, and Luo Yi happily accepted them all.
Since her last breakthrough, Yun Ruoyue has suddenly become enlightened, and her cultivation level has risen rapidly. She is definitely the most talented disciple in the Qingyun Sect.
"Yueyue, do you want to go down the mountain to play?"
Shen Muqing rushed into Ruoyue Peak excitedly, "Yueyue, I heard that the Lantern Festival is coming soon, shall we go to Qingyun City to see the lanterns?"
"Qingqing, no, I still need to cultivate." Yun Ruoyue was engrossed in her cultivation, her mind filled with nothing but cultivation, and she didn't care about anything else.
"Oh dear, you need to get some rest, even if it's just for one night."
After some thought, Yun Ruoyue finally agreed, "Okay, just for one night."
"No problem, see you tonight."
At the foot of the mountain, Yun Ruoyue and Shen Muqing both looked at the man behind them, exchanged a sigh, and realized that the trip had turned into a group of four.
They walked ahead, teasing each other.
"Yueyue, why is Luo Yi here too?"
"He shamelessly insisted on coming along, and why is your master here too?"
"He's shameless too, he just keeps sticking to me, it's so annoying."
The two people behind her seemed to be competing to see who could be more aloof, not saying a word. Their eyes were only on the woman in front of them, nothing else.
In Qingyun City, the pedestrians on the street were all dressed in their finest clothes, and the whole street was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Shen Muqing, holding Yun Ruoyue's hand, weaved through the crowd, deliberately squeezing into the most crowded areas, stopping to clap and cheer when they encountered magicians.
"good!"
Two burly men were seen, one with a huge rock on his chest and the other holding a hammer, performing the act of breaking a boulder on his chest.
"Master, look! They're so amazing!"
"Um."
Xuan Yan was still a little uncomfortable in such a crowded environment, so he pulled Shen Muqing into his arms to prevent others from bumping into her.
"Yueyue, let's go and look at other places."
Before Yun Ruoyue could answer, Shen Muqing pulled her away. She was so happy that she didn't want to spoil the mood, so she smiled and followed Shen Muqing.
In Qingyun City, there is a river that runs through the entire city, called the Qingyun River. At this moment, it is already dark, and scattered lanterns have begun to appear in the Qingyun River, emitting a faint light as they drift downstream.
"Yueyue, let's release lanterns too."
"good."
At the riverside lantern vendor, four people wrote something on a small piece of paper, folded it into a square, and stuffed it into a lantern. Four lanterns of the same color were then lowered from the same spot.
Shen Muqing asked curiously, "Yueyue, what did you write?"
"To become the strongest person in the world." Yun Ruoyue's eyes were firm as she gazed at the lanterns. One day, she would be able to break free from the system's control and live a wonderful life.
"Yes, I will. You promised to protect me then."
"No problem, I'll definitely protect you."
"Yueyue, you're so good." Shen Muqing hugged Yun Ruoyue affectionately, determined not to let Yun Ruoyue go, she was just too good.
As time passed, more and more lanterns appeared in the river, and Kongming lanterns gradually floated into the sky. The bright red lanterns appeared in mid-air, carrying people's simple wishes.
Shen Muqing tilted her head back and asked, "Do you think there really are gods in the world?"
"There should be." Actually, Yun Ruoyue wasn't sure either, but if there were no immortals, what would be the point of cultivating immortality?
"have."
Xuan Yan stared at a certain spot and said with certainty.
However, the sound of firecrackers drowned out the words, and Shen Muqing did not hear Xuan Yan's words clearly. Instead, she happily went off to look for new and strange things.
