Chapter 91: Should I cover it or not?
With Xiao Yu's presence, Xu Chuchu's training efficiency was not a problem, but being able to reach the fourth level so quickly was beyond her expectations.
The help that Pure Yang spiritual power provides to practitioners is even more exaggerated than what is recorded in books. It has already helped her to break through obstacles in her daily practice. As long as she goes into actual combat and the impact of spiritual power is sufficient, she will have the opportunity to break through directly.
The spiritual energy in Xu Chuchu's body was surging like huge waves, spreading forcefully throughout his body before being completely retracted.
She only felt a flash of light before her eyes, and a huge energy wave spread out from her as the center, startling the birds and insects.
"Breakthrough to the fourth level?" Xiao Yu's concerned voice came from beside him.
He didn't know what being at the fourth level meant to Xu Chuchu at her age, he was simply happy for her.
"Yeah." Xu Chuchu smiled slightly, still keeping her eyes closed, but her body had basically relaxed.
"I'm sorry," she said immediately, "I didn't mean to ask you to go in the water as bait. I didn't expect there were so many at the bottom of the lake."
She realized early on that the little girl who came to them for help was not a real human, and she also guessed that the drowning woman might be a trap. She sent Xiao Yu to rescue her in order to give him a chance to fight in real life.
Even if he couldn't win, she could easily get him back.
However, she didn't expect that the number of monsters at the bottom of the lake was far beyond her imagination, and it almost endangered Xiao Yu's life. So she explained a few more words to avoid Xiao Yu's misunderstanding.
"Of course I knew. I was on guard in advance." Xiao Yu didn't blame her, and there was even a hint of pride in her voice. "Although I don't see anything unusual about them, how could a mother and daughter drown in such a remote place? Even if they did, by the time the girl ran to the mountains to find us, her mother would have drowned. It's obvious that something is wrong."
Xu Chuchu smiled again when she heard this: "You are really observant, quick to react, and you fight well. But why didn't you tell me when you saw it? You just went when I told you to?"
"Master, of course I have to listen to you." Xiao Yu said seriously, "Even if I really have to be your bait, I am willing to do so."
"You." Xu Chuchu got goosebumps when she heard it. "My life is oily, not the sky."
She had better regulate the spiritual power in her body, wiped the water and sweat off her face, stretched, and opened her eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that Xiao Yu in front of me had taken off his wet shirt at some point and was shirtless, hanging his clothes on the fire to dry.
Under the light of the fire, his muscular figure was clearly visible.
He must have been exposed to sunlight often in the past, so his skin color is a healthy wheat color, not a sickly boiled chicken color.
The muscles in his arms and abdomen were clearly defined, but not too obtrusive, exactly the type Xu Chuchu liked to see when surfing the Internet.
The water on his body must have been wiped off, so he didn't look as disheveled as if he had just been pulled out of the water, but there were still drops of water sliding down his hair and slowly sliding down along his muscle lines.
Xu Chuchu couldn't help but hold her breath.
"What do you mean by 'my destiny is in my own hands'? Why do you suddenly express such sentiment?" Xiao Yu put on airs while chatting casually.
He turned around and met Xu Chuchu's direct gaze. He screamed in fright and immediately covered his chest with his clothes.
"Why did you open your eyes suddenly?" he asked.
"You're still covering it up!——" Xu Chuchu came back to her senses, feeling embarrassed and furious.
He was the one who took off her clothes and walked around first, and he didn't allow her to open her eyes? Why did she have to inform him before she opened her eyes? She acted like she was wronged when she was seen?
Humph, angry!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu felt even more aggrieved and slowly lowered her clothes: "Then, then I won't cover it."
"No!" Xu Chuchu almost vomited blood, "I mean you actually have the nerve to cover it up. No, I'm not asking you not to cover it up, it's just..."
She couldn't catch her breath, watching Xiao Yu's sometimes-hiding movements: "Anyway, put on your clothes! Now! -"
"Okay." Xiao Yu quickly agreed, "Then close your eyes for a while."
Xu Chuchu immediately closed her eyes. When she heard the rustling sound of Xiao Yu unbuckling his belt, she couldn't help but imagine some images in her mind, and quickly blocked her ears.
"Okay, you should change into dry clothes quickly." Xiao Yu dressed himself very quickly. Not only did he dress himself, he also cleaned Xu Chuchu's clothes and handed them over.
Xu Chuchu grabbed her clothes and said, "Turn your back and close your eyes! Don't look back until I say something."
Xiao Yu immediately did as he was told.
Xu Chuchu then began to take care of herself slowly. She was no longer worried that Xiao Yu would do anything mean. After spending these days together, she could see that Xiao Yu was a person of very good character.
When the two of them were alone in the wild, it was sometimes a little inconvenient, such as changing clothes, washing hands and face, etc. But every time, Xiao Yu would take the initiative to avoid it without Xu Chuchu's reminder, which was quite gentlemanly.
In addition, she knew that Xiao Yu was impotent with her, so she was not as shy about him as she was with other men.
Sometimes I woke up in the morning and found that I had rolled very close to Xiao Yu without realizing it, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
"What kind of monster is in the lake today?" Xiao Yu threw a stone away bored.
"Monsters? They're water ghosts," Xu Chuchu explained, her expression becoming more serious. "They like to lure humans to the water's edge, drag them down to drown, and then eat them. But generally speaking, there shouldn't be so many water ghosts in a lake."
"Water ghost?" Xiao Yu frowned. "You also caught a water ghost during the Dragon King's sacrifice last time. It's different from the one in this lake."
Xu Chuchu nodded: "Yes, the water ghost in this lake is much higher level than the one that Master Xiang disguised as the Dragon King."
"Why is this? Isn't Tailing the place affected by the dragon vein?" Xiao Yu asked.
Xu Chuchu remained noncommittal and explained, "It's hard to say. It's possible that there's some treasure hidden at the bottom of the lake, and the water ghosts are using the treasure's power to mutate. From a genetic perspective, it's also possible that the water ghosts themselves have mutated, developing super-strong reproductive abilities, and passing this trait on to their offspring."
"Fortunately, this lake is quite far from the inhabited towns." She paused, "Otherwise, with so many water ghosts in need of food, it would definitely affect the nearby residents."
In any case, this was a blessing in disguise for her.
"I'm fine." Xu Chuchu changed her clothes and placed the wet clothes next to the fire.
She spread out the blanket and lay down, then said to Xiao Yu: "I just broke through the fourth level today. I used spiritual power fluctuations, and the low-level monsters dared not come over. You can sleep well."
Xiao Yu got permission and turned around, frowning and said, "Your hair is still wet. You'll have a headache after sleeping like this."
"It's okay, it will be done in a while." Xu Chuchu turned sideways, lifted the blanket and wrapped herself tightly.
