Chapter 72
After the kiss ended, Ye Zi was a little out of breath.
Luo Hengzhi held Ye Zi in his arms and gently kissed her forehead.
"Luo Hengzhi, let's cultivate together." Ye Zi looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Mm." Luo Hengzhi nodded in agreement, looking at Ye Zi's wet eyes, and then said, "We need to go to the Scripture Pavilion tomorrow."
Ye Zi: "Yes, we need to go, but we need to choose a suitable dual cultivation technique."
"Eat first, or it will get cold." Seeing that Ye Zi wasn't drunk from drinking red wine, Luo Hengzhi poured her a shallow glass.
"What do you think of what you said, senior?" Ye Zi suddenly asked.
Luo Hengzhi: "I have no clue. Senior said I am bad at judging people. I must have trusted the wrong person. As for who it was, it might be the Mahayana stage cultivator we met, or it might not be. We'll have to ask the Creation Sword when it wakes up."
Ye Zi nodded: "Next, we still need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible!"
"I'll try out the time-manipulating artifact the senior gave me tomorrow," Luo Hengzhi said.
"Xin Yue said that the eye monitoring this world has disappeared recently. I guess it must be because of the blow from the Creation Sword that caused him some damage."
Ye Zi had the same guess. Once that person's strength recovered, it was estimated that what came down would not be just a wisp of divine soul, so they had to become as strong as possible!
But they don't have much time left!
Ye Zi picked up the wine on the table and took another small sip.
Looking at Luo Hengzhi, he suddenly asked, "That time when I got drunk at the bottom of the sea, did I say something to you? But I can't remember what I said."
Luo Hengzhi certainly remembered what Ye Zi said after drinking. Ye Zi cared a lot about the last time he left Lingju Temple and went down the mountain.
"He didn't say anything, and fell asleep quickly after getting drunk."
Luo Hengzhi said, "Don't drink strong liquor anymore."
"good."
Ye Zi noticed that Luo Hengzhi's expression was somewhat unnatural, so she must have said something, but Luo Hengzhi was unwilling to mention it.
"Did I kiss you then?" Ye Zi realized she had been drinking and wanted to touch Luo Hengzhi.
She probably would really do that when she's drunk.
Luo Hengzhi: "I only kissed his eyes."
"Really?" Ye Zi approached Luo Hengzhi.
Luo Hengzhi met Ye Zi's gaze and answered very sincerely, "Really!"
"I'll be quite restrained." Ye Zi picked up her wine glass and took another small sip. "Compared to the spirit wine, this wine is even more intoxicating."
"Is it a bit of a fever, causing dizziness?" Luo Hengzhi asked.
Ye Zi shook her head: "It's alright."
Maybe she just doesn't like the taste.
"Wait a minute...would you like to go out for a walk?" They had been so busy that they hadn't had a chance to slow down and spend time together.
For example, it would be nice for ordinary couples to take a walk hand in hand in the night.
Ye Zi: "I'm not going to watch movies at home."
"That's fine too." Luo Hengzhi was fine with either.
After dinner, the two tidied up together. Luo Hengzhi went to the dressing room to get Ye Zi some pajamas. "The master bedroom is in the middle upstairs."
Ye Zi took the pajamas and went upstairs.
Luo Hengzhi showed her around, and she knew that was Luo Hengzhi's room.
Luo Hengzhi saw Ye Zi go to his room, so he stayed downstairs to wash up. After he finished washing up, he went upstairs to his bedroom.
Just as she arrived at the door, Ye Zi came out, having finished washing her hair and drying it.
Ye Zi looked up and saw Luo Hengzhi. Luo Hengzhi was wearing loose gray casual clothes. She had just washed her hair, and the strands of hair fell naturally to cover her forehead. She looked much gentler and more inexplicably docile than before.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"Let me help you blow-dry your hair..."
Before Luo Hengzhi could finish speaking, Ye Zi's hair, which was still dripping wet, had mostly dried after being wiped with a towel.
"Are you going to help me blow-dry my hair?" Ye Zi, who had just performed the dry hair incantation, performed the wet hair incantation again.
My hair, which was already dry, started dripping again.
Seeing Ye Zi's actions, Luo Hengzhi chuckled softly, took the towel from Ye Zi's hand, and helped Ye Zi dry her hair.
I wiped it until it was no longer dripping wet before turning around to get the hair dryer.
“Sit on the bed, I’ll help you blow-dry your hair,” Luo Hengzhi said.
"good."
Ye Zi obediently sat down on the edge of the bed, and Luo Hengzhi stood in front of her, adjusting the temperature to a comfortable level.
Ye Zi was used to using hand seals, but this was the first time she had used a hairdryer to dry her hair. She felt the warm air at a suitable temperature blowing over her, and Luo Hengzhi's fingertips were gently moving through her hair. The movements were very gentle and comfortable.
[The feeling of blow-drying my hair... is pretty good!]
"From now on, I'll play for you." Luo Hengzhi said after hearing Ye Zi's heartfelt words.
"Okay." Luo Hengzhi could really hear her thoughts, and Ye Zi nodded.
After her hair was dried, Luo Hengzhi lowered her head and placed a kiss on the top of Ye Zi's hair.
Ye Zi sensed it and looked up at Luo Hengzhi.
Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi's cheeks, which were slightly red from the hot wind, and reached out to touch them. Ye Zi tilted her head and rested her face in Luo Hengzhi's palm.
Looking at the unusually well-behaved Ye Zi, Luo Hengzhi bent down and picked her up in his arms.
Suddenly being picked up, Ye Zi raised her hand and wrapped it around Luo Hengzhi's neck. Her smooth sleeves slid down, revealing her fair arms.
Luo Hengzhi turned his head and kissed Ye Zi's wrist, then carried her to the first-floor audio-visual room. The audio-visual room was designed for comfort, with a recliner and a bed.
Luo Hengzhi carried Ye Zi directly to the bed, then placed pillows around her head before turning on the equipment.
Ye Zi leaned lazily against the headboard, watching Luo Hengzhi select a movie.
This must be the daily life of an ordinary couple, Ye Zi thought.
"What do you want to see?" Luo Hengzhi turned to look at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi, who doesn't watch movies, doesn't really know what to watch; she just wants to watch a movie with Luo Hengzhi.
"Choose your favorite, or one you usually watch?" Ye Zi said.
Luo Hengzhi rarely has time to watch movies, so she chose a recently popular film.
"It's a newly released film." Luo Hengzhi also went to the bed, placed the cushions, and naturally lay down next to Ye Zi. "If you don't like it, we can change it."
As soon as Luo Hengzhi lay down, the lights went out, leaving only the glow of the screen in the room.
"Come here." Luo Hengzhi stretched out his arm, wrapped it around Ye Zi, and let Ye Zi lie on his shoulder to watch.
Ye Zi leaned closer to Luo Hengzhi and found a comfortable position to rest against him.
Luo Hengzhi had broad shoulders, completely enveloping Ye Zi in his arms as the two leaned against each other watching the big screen.
“Luo Hengzhi”.
"Um?"
"It's nothing, I was just calling you."
"Mmm." Luo Hengzhi responded softly, holding Ye Zi's hand in her palm.
Nestled in Luo Hengzhi's arms, Ye Zi stared at the screen, watching the story of the characters in the play. It was the first time she had ever sat down so quietly to watch a drama.
The experience was great, and Luo Hengzhi was with me too.
Using the light from the screen, Luo Hengzhi looked down at Ye Zi, who was engrossed in watching the show, and laughed along with the characters' emotions.
Ye Zi is so beautiful and even a little cute; she's captivating!
I'm going to kiss you.
Luo Hengzhi's low, husky voice rang in Ye Zi's ear.
Ye Zi felt a sudden tingling sensation in her ears. She looked up at Luo Hengzhi, whose face slowly drew closer in the darkness.
Ye Zi's eyes curved into a smile as she raised her hand to wrap her arms around Luo Hengzhi's neck.
Luo Hengzhi gently pressed her forehead against Ye Zi's, without making any further moves, but instead coaxed softly, "Kiss me... Little Ye Zi."
Luo Hengzhi's voice was low, husky, and gentle, making Ye Zixin tremble!
He obediently hugged Luo Hengzhi's neck tightly and offered his lips to hers.
......
The next day.
When Ye Zi woke up, she was already back in the master bedroom.
Looking at the empty room, Luo Hengzhi was not there, but dazzling light shone in through the window.
Ye Zi looked down and saw red marks under her collar, and the scenes from last night automatically replayed in her mind.
That's pretty exciting!
Luo Hengzhi was so fierce last night. Ye Zi's cheeks flushed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She pulled the blanket over her face.
Luo Hengzhi walked in and saw Ye Zi with her face covered. She reached out and gently pulled the blanket down.
Ye Zi peeked out, revealing her bright, sparkling eyes.
Luo Hengzhi smiled and asked, "Want to sleep a little longer?"
Ye Zi shook her head, looking at Luo Hengzhi's loose-fitting nightgown, which revealed a large expanse of his well-defined, muscular chest.
She also knew that there were eight well-defined abdominal muscles in her waist and abdomen, which she had counted last night.
Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi's fixed gaze, leaned closer, and whispered, "Want more?"
Upon hearing what Luo Hengzhi said, Ye Zi quickly shook her head, then nodded.
Ye Zi: "We can cultivate together, that way our cultivation levels can improve quickly."
"Okay." Luo Hengzhi liked Xiao Yezi's genuine and direct expression.
Upon hearing Luo Hengzhi's reply, Ye Zi waved her hand, and her pajamas instantly transformed into her usual plain-colored robes.
Ye Zi reverted to her usual aloof and cold demeanor.
Ye Zi sat up and smiled at Luo Hengzhi.
Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi and saw that her smile completely dispelled the coldness around her, making her appear lively and vibrant.
Luo Hengzhi bent down and picked up Ye Zi to wash up. After washing up, he carried her downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.
All morning, Ye Zi was carried around by Luo Hengzhi, her feet never touching the ground.
Upon returning to Lingju Temple, Ye Zi led Luo Hengzhi directly to the Sutra Repository to select the most suitable dual cultivation technique for the two of them.
Ye Zi summoned her spirit sword, which emitted a spiritual light that scanned the bookshelf. After a moment, a cultivation manual flew into Ye Zi's hand.
After Ye Zi looked through it, she handed the cultivation manual to Luo Hengzhi: "This one is the highest grade!"
Luo Hengzhi then realized what kind of cultivation technique the spirit sword had chosen, which was completely different from what she had thought before. This technique actually involved the fusion and integration of the divine soul!
After choosing their cultivation methods, the two disappeared from the Scripture Pavilion.
The next second, the two appeared on the back mountain. Ye Zi quickly made hand seals in front of the closed mountain, and pulled her fingertips outward, creating an independent space in the mountain.
Ye Zi: "This is the space where I usually seclude myself for cultivation. We will share it from now on."
The space is not large, only about 100 square meters, and the facilities inside are very simple, even rudimentary.
Apart from a stone bed, there was only a clear spring.
Previously, Ye Zi had been in seclusion in such a simple environment.
As Luo Hengzhi approached, he saw wisps of steam rising from the surface of the clear spring: "Is this a hot spring?"
“It’s a flowing cold spring.” Ye Zi shook her head.
"The lowest temperature can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius, but it will never freeze."
"You've been cultivating here all this time, in such a low temperature. How can your body take it?" Luo Hengzhi asked with concern.
Ye Zi smiled faintly and took Luo Hengzhi's hand: "You forgot that I have a celestial body. This temperature can't hurt me. In fact, the low temperature can help me slow down the flow of spiritual energy in my meridians and effectively widen the meridians' resilience."
"Although my cultivation level did not increase during those years, I could clearly know that I was not stagnant by increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in my meridians."
Ye Zi spoke in a gentle tone, as if she were recounting something extremely ordinary.
Luo Hengzhi had always wondered how Ye Zi had survived the eighteen years when her cultivation stagnated.
Now I know!
It's just this tiny increase in the tolerance of the meridians...
It not only sustained Ye Zi's silent cultivation for the past 18 years, but also became the only remaining hope after Ye Zi experienced endless despair!
Just as Luo Hengzhi was filled with heartache, Ye Zi, unaware of the danger, calmly took out a time-manipulating artifact and began setting up an array.
"With the time-traveling artifact, we will have ample time and should not miss the Lingju Sect's formal ceremony for recruiting disciples."
