When Huo Ling reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, he took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes, and covered his nose, saying, "What a stench! Did someone's sewer explode?"
After he finished complaining, he found that Ah Li and Wan Jiaoyang were just watching him quietly.
Huo Ling then belatedly pointed to himself and said, "Is it my scent?"
Ah Li nodded gently, "You have already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and your body will undergo a thorough tempering. This will not only expel impurities from your body, but also make your body as pure as crystal. At that time, your process of absorbing spiritual energy will be as natural and smooth as drinking water from its source, without any hindrance."
Huo Ling was very excited, and then when he thought about how Ah Li didn't mind his unpleasant smell and was still with him, he was deeply moved.
"Ah Li, I'll go take a shower first, wait for me."
After Huo Ling finished speaking, he ran away.
Ahri then collected the spirit stones from the spirit-gathering array and opened the windows to let in fresh air.
Ah Li pinched the magic seal and touched the tip of her nose, instantly allowing her to breathe in fresh air. Wan Jiaoyang did the same.
"It's still better to breathe fresh air."
When Wan Jiaoyang thought of Huo Ling's moved expression just now, and then looked at Ah Li's current state, he realized that the man's emotions had been in vain.
"Master, let's go out and play together."
When Ah Li thought about how her upcoming trip to the ancient tomb would allow her to return to the cultivation world, she decided to spend as much time as possible with Huo Ling while she still had the chance.
After all, Huo Ling was the man she loved in this world.
Wan Jiaoyang pondered for a moment and then said, "That's fine too."
After Huo Ling finished his shower, Ah Li and Wan Jiaoyang were waiting for him.
Ahri continued, "Huoling, let's go out and play together."
Huo Ling was still checking if he still smelled like Ah Li when he heard what she said. He exclaimed with delight, "Okay, I'll take you to have some fun!"
However, when Wan Jiaoyang also went out, Huo Ling instantly realized that he had been happy for nothing, right?
"Fire Spirit, what is that?"
Ah Li exclaimed in surprise, grabbed Huo Ling's hand, and pointed to the hot air balloon not far away, asking him a question.
Huo Ling stared blankly at Ah Li's fair and delicate hands, and her pink nails. He was overjoyed. Ah Li had taken his hand. He could never wash his hands again!
"Huoling?"
Ah Li turned to look at Huo Ling, and seeing that he was only staring at her hands, she cursed inwardly, "Idiot."
Wan Jiaoyang raised an eyebrow. Seeing that Huo Ling was still like a wooden doll, he took two steps forward, put his hand on Ali's shoulder, and half-pushed him, saying, "Someone just said that there is an amusement park nearby. They said it's pretty fun. Let's go check it out."
"Okay, let's go to the amusement park."
Ah Li responded and slowly released Huo Ling's hand.
Huo Ling suddenly grabbed Ah Li's hand, refusing to let go. Once he held on, he would never let go again.
When Ah Li turned around, Huo Ling said nervously, "I can take you there too, I know this place well."
Ah Li smiled and shook the hands she was holding with Huo Ling, then took Wan Jiaoyang's arm and said, "Let's go!"
For the next few days, Ah Li had Huo Ling take her and Wan Jiaoyang out to play every day.
Hiking, visiting tourist attractions, and exploring night markets are all activities that can be enjoyed.
Ah Li and Wan Jiaoyang had a lot of fun, but Huo Ling was a little disappointed. He only held Ah Li's hand once, and then never did it again.
Suddenly, a bottle of ice water appeared next to his cheek, and he looked over with a start.
"Ah Li?"
What are you thinking about?
Ahri smiled and handed him the water, saying, "Master said this bottled spring water is good, we can all drink it."
Huo Ling took the water, turned it on somewhat listlessly, and then took a small sip.
Huo Ling was feeling stifled and couldn't taste anything else.
Ahri asked from the side, "It tastes good, doesn't it?"
Huo Ling responded softly, "Mm."
"Then let me try some too."
After Ah Li finished speaking, Huo Ling raised his head to give Ah Li the water.
Unexpectedly, Ah Li suddenly cupped his face and moved close to his lips.
Huo Ling's heart pounded, while Ah Li's eyes held a captivating smile.
As the kiss ended, Ahri even extended her tongue to gently brush against Huo Ling's lips.
A layer of moisture remained on Huo Ling's thin lips, and Ah Li pinched his earlobe, saying, "You're so sweet."
In an instant, Huo Ling's face turned completely red, as if it were about to steam.
With a triumphant smile, Ah Li ran towards Wan Jiaoyang.
Wan Jiaoyang stood not far away looking in another direction, and Ah Li smiled and returned to his side.
"Fun?" Wan Jiaoyang turned to look at Ah Li.
Huo Ling was still pressing ice water against his cheeks to cool them down, but his gaze kept drifting towards Ah Li.
Ahri then covered her lips with her hand and said, "Mmm, Master, you don't know what this feeling is like. It feels like eating a really sweet candy."
Wan Jiaoyang patted Ali's head and said, "Whatever makes you happy."
Soon, Huo Ling arrived.
He glanced at Ah Li secretly, and seeing that Ah Li was still smiling at him, he felt that he couldn't back down and had to act like a man.
However, he was startled when Ahri suddenly ran over and hugged him tightly, then bit his chin.
Ahri thinks that since they're leaving anyway, they should take as many bites as possible.
Otherwise, we won't be able to eat it anymore.
Soon, several more groups of people went missing in the Wanglong Mountains.
