Chapter 338 The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment
Without waiting for Xu Chuchu to scold him, Xiao Yu immediately said, "Although our cultivation is very high, there is no highest level of cultivation, only higher levels. Since we have nothing to do along the way, why don't we give it a try?"
Xu Chuchu was silent for a long time. Seeing Xiao Yu's expectant, nervous, and somewhat forbearing expression, she finally said, "Okay..."
"But I have to take a shower first," she added hastily.
Physiognomists have their bodies protected by their cultivation, so they only need to eat a small amount of food, and their bodies will not secrete too much dirt like ordinary people.
But if I don’t take a shower before doing something, I always feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Yuteng stood up and said, "Wait for me."
Before he finished speaking, he rushed out like the wind to find someone to bring him hot water. I have never seen him so active in other things.
Xu Chuchu's face flushed and she smiled helplessly.
Xiao Yu has always been particularly keen on this kind of thing, but because of some unhappy memories in the past, she never takes the initiative to speak up and relies on finding these messy special reasons.
She didn't believe that Xiao Yu simply wanted to practice with her.
There are no modern bathrooms in the inn, so you can only take a shower in your room.
Xu Chuchu stood by the bathtub, watching Xiao Yu sitting obediently on a small stool beside her, hugging her knees with her arms.
"I don't have to go out, right?" He looked at me innocently.
"...It's up to you." Xu Chuchu was too lazy to argue with him. If she asked him to go out, he would keep trying to persuade her for a long time, and by then it would be too late.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately stood up and hugged her from behind.
"Help you?" He leaned over quietly.
Xu Chuchu suppressed a smile and said, "Don't ask. It won't work even if you ask."
"I understand." Xiao Yu closed his mouth and didn't say another word.
After the clothes were taken off, they were folded one by one and placed aside. Xu Chuchu struggled several times, finally escaping the clutches and soaking in the water.
After that, Xiao Yu became much more obedient and combed her long hair to prevent it from getting wet in the water.
Then he scooped water with his hands and poured it on her shoulders and back above the water.
…
In fact, for physiognomists of their level of cultivation, these trivial matters no longer need to be done manually.
If your hair gets wet, you can easily dry it with spiritual power, and you won’t feel cold at all when your shoulders are exposed above the water.
But if we don't do this, and rely on spiritual power for everything, it seems that it lacks the sense of life in this world.
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Chuchu had been on guard against Xiao Yu's sneak attack, and when she took a glance, she found that this guy was in a daze.
"Oh, I was thinking..." Xiao Yu smiled, "What would I be like now without you."
"Have you thought of it?"
"I thought of it." Xiao Yu said seriously, "Well, I will become the sacrifice for the Grand Master to resurrect the evil spirit."
Xu Chuchu curled her lips: "Strict logic."
Of course, Xiao Yu thought about more than just this.
If the Grand Master had not taken his life, he would have been nothing more than a monster in the dark mud with a strange disease, with no one approaching him and no one looking after him, and he would have spent the rest of his life being despised by others and self-loathing.
Unlike now, we have everything, even adventure is sweet...
With a "splash" of water, Xu Chuchu stood up from the water.
"I'm done."
Xiao Yu's mind went blank instantly. There was no such thing as a monster or not. Now he only had business in his eyes!
He considerately helped Xu Chuchu to take care of it, and then he took care of himself roughly, and then he was ready to practice the art of dual cultivation.
However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Of course, this cultivation technique cannot be effective just by randomly doing this or that.
It emphasizes movement, qi, and luck, that is, the coordination of movement, spiritual power, and the circulation of spiritual power, which requires extreme concentration.
Xu Chuchu is also a person who pays attention to detail and perfection in spiritual practice. When it was his first time practicing, he spent a long time studying every step, including the luck, conditions, and even the angle.
So much so that they need to maintain one movement for a long time.
This was nothing for Xu Chuchu, she got used to it after a while, but for Xiao Yu it was an extremely unbearable torture.
He interrupted the spiritual power flow with Xu Chuchu several times because he couldn't concentrate, and was scolded by Xu Chuchu several times.
"You said you wanted to practice, but you're not serious about it," she said angrily. "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about things that are not suitable for children?"
Of course.
Xiao Yu finally understood why the first page of the book "The Art of Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation" mentioned that practitioners must have extremely high concentration and patience.
It's too difficult.
Because Xiao Yu was not very good, they didn't even finish practicing the first section of the first chapter of the book on their first attempt.
In the end, Xiao Yu took all the advantage, and Xu Chuchu looked up at the sky in despair.
…
After that night, the two of them never took the official road again.
Sect Leader Feng told them that the Black Dragon was very vengeful and might come back to attack. They were worried about causing unrest in the city, so they took mountain and water routes.
They wrapped some strong-smelling flowers and plants in their clothes to eliminate the smell on their bodies.
I don’t know whether the black dragon didn’t smell their scent or didn’t pursue them for the time being, but they were peaceful along the way.
They first went to Xiangshan, also known as Fox Mountain, to rescue the fox fairy.
Because they couldn't contact Hu Da'er, they chose the same route they had taken to break into Fox Mountain before.
The checkpoints that they had destroyed before were repaired by Hu Da'er, but this time he was completely unable to do anything to them and entered the interior of Fox Mountain in no time.
The fox fairy's daughter, Hu Shanshan, had already been waiting at the entrance.
"Princess Hu, did you know we were coming?" Xu Chuchu asked her.
"Yes." Hu Shanshan smiled at them, "Father noticed you approaching and asked me to come greet you earlier."
Hu Shanshan left the palace and returned to the fox clan. She discarded the exquisite palace dresses and hair accessories of the human palace and put on the fox clan's cloth clothes and gold hairpins, which made her look much more natural.
There still seemed to be some melancholy in her expression, but she was no longer as lost as she was in the palace.
In any case, being able to be with her father and tribe members who truly treat her well is not a bad thing.
"Please follow me." She turned around and leaped into a fox form, swinging her nine beautiful tails and leaping lightly in the mountain woods.
Before the three of them reached the top of the mountain, they heard a series of "howling" sounds, which sounded like a fox, but not quite a fox, and like a chicken, but not quite a chicken.
Immediately afterwards, a "hairless chicken" fell out of the cave and rolled down the stone steps one by one.
"Father!" Hu Shanshan quickly transformed into a human form and caught the "hairless chicken." "Father, why did you come out in the form of a little beast again? It would be bad if you got hurt."
The "Hairless Chicken" ignored her and yelled at Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu, "You're back?! Your arm is healed! Where's my Cang Yun Sword?"
When he saw the long sword wrapped in cloth behind Xiao Yu, he became even more excited: "Quick, quick, bring it over and let me see it!"
