Yan An, who was walking in front, stopped and the two of them bumped into each other, one in front and the other behind.
When Yan An staggered and was about to fall to the ground, Lu Jingyi, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed him around the waist.
"Master? Why were you knocked down so easily by me?"
According to Yan An's strength, I was lucky not to be knocked down by her, but I didn't expect...
Yan An leaned against him tiredly, took out the armor from the jade ring and handed it to him, "Jingzhi, I may not be able to protect you for the time being. The demonic energy in my body is in my dantian, eroding my profound energy and demonic power. When the demonic energy strengthens, I will be devoured by it."
After hearing her words, Lu Jingzhi froze in place, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Then... is there any way to remove this evil energy?"
"Yes, but it requires a seventh-grade demon pill, and there's no time left."
"Seventh...seventh rank? How long can Master wait?"
Yan An extended his index finger.
"A year?"
Yan An slowly shook his head, "One month."
Lu Jingzhi's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes turned red. "What should I do? Where should I go to find it?"
Yan An felt the trembling behind him, and the hesitation and sadness in the voice.
Then she turned around and held his cheeks with both hands, "It's okay, it's okay." She stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Jingzhi's thin lips.
His lips were very dry, so Yan An stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips to moisten them.
Lu Jingzhi hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his flesh and blood, then he clasped the back of her head with his right hand and deepened the kiss.
Lu Jingzhi kissed very gently, as if he was afraid of damaging it or hurting it...
Only when Yan An's breathing became heavy and disordered did Lu Jingzhi let her go.
"I'll try using Magnolia."
The mark on her forehead lit up, and green light shone on her body, but the demonic energy within was not affected at all, and even the healing energy of the wood lotus was absorbed into it.
Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi put away the magnolia, and the only ray of hope finally closed.
Yan An's eyes were filled with tears as he slowly shook his head, "It's useless. If I die, remember to save the demon tribe for me and let Feng Xi become the new tribe leader."
Lu Jingzhi stroked her cheek, his voice a little hoarse and choked, "Stop talking sour words, I will find a way to save you."
Hearing this, she burst into laughter and said, "I wasn't afraid of death before, but now I am afraid of death. I am so afraid of death."
"Well, I will find a way to save you and won't let you die."
The red sun in the sky sank into Leizhou Mountain, and the red glow shone on the two of them, stretching their black shadows and merging them into one.
…
Luo Xue opened her sleepy eyes and saw that Lu Jingzhi was not around. She raised her right hand and broke the shield. Turning around, she saw Ye Wu sitting beside her, cross-legged and practicing.
"You're not dead?"
Ye Wu woke up at the sound, his face dark and he said speechlessly, "Do you really want me to die so much?"
After being knocked unconscious by Tang San's punch, he lay on the ground unconscious until the explosion woke him up.
He was so scared that he hid in the cracks of the rocks until the explosion was over, then he went down the mountain to find them. Then he saw Luo Xue lying on the ground. Seeing that she was making a breakthrough, he sat beside her to practice.
"Of course I don't want you to die." After saying this, she looked around, "Where's Lu Jingzhi? Did you see him before you came here?"
"No, let's go find them."
"Yeah, okay."
Luo Xue turned into a human form, and she was a little taller now.
Just as he was about to look for the master and disciple, "Luo Xue, did you succeed in breaking through?"
"Um?"
Seeing the two of them, Luo Xue quickly ran over, hugged Yan An, and rubbed her cheek against her, "Lady Empress, I have broken through to the fifth level, thanks to absorbing the lightning of the Thunder Lotus."
After hearing her words, Lu Jingzhi suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the energy of Lei Lian was lost at that time. It turned out to be you."
Luo Xuesong opened her arms and looked at him warily, "You're not going to make any demands, are you?"
He gave a helpless yet forced smile, "It's okay. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to absorb the Thunder Lotus so smoothly."
Ye Wu, who had been working in society for many years, could see that he was worried. "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Xue also noticed that he looked worried. Although he tried his best to hide it, she could still see it when she looked closely.
"What's wrong with you? If you feel at a disadvantage, I can agree to one of your requests."
"Haha...you guys are overthinking it. It's getting dark soon. Let's go back."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Ye Wu stopped asking.
Afterwards, Lu Jingzhi came to Yan An, slowly squatted down, and then Yan An lay on his back.
"Master, are we going back?"
"Um."
Lu Jingzhi stood up, held her hips with both hands, and walked towards Leizhou City with Fengyun steps.
At night - the cold wind blew, heavy snow fell from the dark night sky again, and the temperature dropped to zero degrees.
Lu Jingzhi fetched a basin of hot water from the bathroom of the inn and brought it into the room.
squeak…
He walked into the room, closed the door, and saw Yan An lying on the bed covered with a quilt.
"Master, are you cold?"
Yan An smiled bitterly, "My current body is three points worse than that of an ordinary person. I used to be an emperor, but now I have fallen to the point where I am even worse than an ordinary person."
Lu Jingzhi felt pain in his chest, a little suffocated, and a little weak.
He pursed his lips, said nothing, walked to the bed, put the basin on the ground, and then rolled up his sleeves.
"Master, wash your feet, then go to sleep."
"Yeah, okay."
Yan An sat up from the bed, his upper body tightly wrapped in the quilt, his legs in cotton trousers hanging to the edge of the bed, his feet stepping on the sides of the wooden basin.
Lu Jingzhi rolled up her pants with his hands, then held her ankles, put them in hot water, and rubbed them carefully with both hands.
The soft and boneless touch made him unable to let go.
"You've obtained the Thunder Lotus, and it's time to redeem your reward."
Lu Jingzhi paused and looked up at her...
