He Yunxiao looked at Qing Yuzi, wondering what had gotten into her.
With two Grandmasters on our side and one Grandmaster from the Yan Kingdom, a two-on-one advantage couldn't be more certain. Besides, even Xiao Xiao said that capturing a Grandmaster is very difficult, especially capturing one of similar skill level or one with escape skills.
Even disregarding all that, didn't the beautiful Taoist priest still fail to defeat the Grandmaster of Yan back then? She was beaten so badly she was pale as a ghost. What is she pretending for?
“Daoist Master, you should stay with Xiaoxiao. I know you and Xiaoxiao don’t get along, I’ll try to persuade her,” He Yunxiao said.
Qing Yuzi said with considerable pride, "As a member of the Taixu Sect, it is my duty to apprehend violators. How could I possibly ask others for help?"
"Taoist Master..."
"My mind is made up; there's no need to discuss this further."
He Yunxiao poked Qing Yuzi in the back with a low growl, "Didn't the Taoist priest say he couldn't beat them? If you can't beat them, what's the point of talking about arresting them?"
"What haven't you fought before?"
"The Taoist priest doesn't admit it?"
"How could I possibly be defeated by an ordinary person..."
Before Qing Yuzi could finish speaking, He Yunxiao stood up, took two steps to her, and slipped his fingers through her veil, lifting it up like lifting a bride's veil.
The "vixen's" charm skills were still effective; He Yunxiao would be momentarily stunned every time he saw the beautiful Taoist priest.
He Yunxiao scrutinized Qing Yuzi's face, looking at it very carefully.
"Look, her face is still pale and she hasn't fully recovered yet, but she's much better than last time. It seems the medicine is still effective."
Qing Yuzi stood there, stunned. She suddenly couldn't understand how she, a grandmaster of the Taixu Sect and a figure at the pinnacle of martial arts, could have her veil lifted so frequently by He Yunxiao, and how he could succeed every time?
A delicate pink blush appeared on Qing Yuzi's cheeks.
He Yunxiao was stunned.
The Taoist priest usually has a fairy-like demeanor that keeps strangers at bay, is he... shy?
He Yunxiao suddenly remembered that although he had known the Taoist priest for so long, he had never seen her personality or how much she liked him because she always wore a veil. This was indeed a good opportunity.
Seizing the opportunity, He Yunxiao was about to summon the system to investigate the beautiful Taoist priest's background. However, Qing Yuzi showed no mercy, abruptly turning her face away, freeing the veil He Yunxiao had lifted, which then reappeared under the pull of gravity.
"Lift the white veil of this Daoist once more, this Daoist..."
Before Qingyuzi could finish speaking, He Yunxiao reached out again and easily lifted the beautiful Taoist priest's veil once more.
The "vixen's" seductive skills were refreshed when the veil was lowered. Now, He Yunxiao lifted the veil again and saw Qing Yuzi's devastatingly beautiful face. He was immediately captivated again and lost his senses for a moment. He couldn't even activate the system.
Qing Yuzi snatched her veil, then struck He Yunxiao with a palm strike from a distance. The gentle force lifted He Yunxiao, sending him flying backward before he was thrown to the ground.
"You scoundrel, how dare you betray your master and ancestors! This Daoist..." Qing Yuzi was furious that He Yunxiao had lifted his veil twice. His chest heaved up and down in shock.
He Yunxiao simply lay down on the ground and stopped moving.
Qingyuzi talked on and on for a long time, but didn't say anything harsh. In this respect, He Yunxiao truly admired his Taoist master's "fairy-like" demeanor.
He speaks lightly, hits softly, and his insults are neither vicious nor vulgar; he doesn't even know how to utter harsh words. He certainly has a somewhat otherworldly air about him.
He Yunxiao lay on the ground pretending to be dead, silently counting "one, two, three, four" in his mind. Based on his understanding of Qing Yuzi, his "fairy Taoist priest" master would not stand by and watch him die, nor would he have the heart to abandon him.
Sure enough, before He Yunxiao could count to twenty, he heard the sound of clothes rustling and the beauty getting up.
"He Yunxiao?" Qing Yuzi frowned.
"The force I used just now couldn't possibly have done anything to him, this..."
Qingyuzi summoned a prayer mat with a flick of his finger, knelt down in front of He Yunxiao, and took his pulse.
After repeated examinations, no unexpected problems were found, except for the aftereffects of the Soul-Devouring Pill, which left He Yunxiao feeling "like his body had been hollowed out by wine and women."
"He Yunxiao?" Qingyuzi called out again.
He Yunxiao was faking it; he just wouldn't wake up.
He Yunxiao felt Qing Yuzi help him sit up, and then his palms touched two delicate, soft things.
It's the Taoist priest's little hand!
It can't be wrong!
Based on He Yunxiao's experience of holding the hands of several leading ladies, his hand must definitely be the Taoist priest's hand!
Then, something even more surprising happened to He Yunxiao.
The Taoist priest seemed to be transferring his power to him. But upon closer inspection, this power transfer was quite different from Chu Chu's.
The Taoist priest's technique was more refined, more comfortable, and more profound, without any pain whatsoever; on the contrary, it was extremely enjoyable.
Holy crap!
He Yunxiao was shocked. He remembered this feeling. This was the method of dual cultivation!
He Yunxiao felt his mind and body rapidly recovering under the healing power of the dual cultivation method, and even his internal energy showed signs of increasing. Normally, He Yunxiao wouldn't cultivate his own internal energy, because the quality of his cultivation was far inferior to Chu Chu's. His own cultivation was like adding ink to a large vat of clear water given to him by Chu Chu—it would only get worse.
However, the internal energy generated by Qingyuzi and him through dual cultivation, although small in quantity, is comparable in quality to the internal energy Chuchu gave him.
Is the true purpose of dual cultivation to be used in conjunction with martial artists?
While feeling surprised and amazed, He Yunxiao also marveled at the benefits of dual cultivation and couldn't help but start practicing the technique himself.
Qing Yuzi was originally channeling her energy into He Yunxiao, but suddenly, she felt a life force flowing from He Yunxiao's body into her.
This power contains the principles of heaven and earth, and is perfectly in line with Qing Yuzi's cultivation method, "True Meaning of Freedom".
Qing Yuzi knew without even thinking that this must be the power of the Soul-Devouring Pill.
The injuries Qing Yuzi suffered, and the damage to her very essence, were slowly being repaired by the power of the Soul-Devouring Pill transmitted through the Dual Cultivation Method. In just a few breaths, it was equivalent to a day's worth of her cultivation. And this was only the power transmitted through the most basic Dual Cultivation Method; if it were true Dual Cultivation…
Qing Yuzi shook her head, not daring to think about it any further.
The Soul-Devouring Pill is indeed something that would greatly benefit her. If used properly, it's not impossible for her to break through her cultivation level and surpass Chu Xiaoxiao. She might even become the person within the Taixu Sect closest to achieving "immortality."
Now that He Yunxiao has consumed the Soul-Devouring Pill, it can only be said that she was destined to be without it.
But if it's real...
Her thoughts returned to the starting point, and Qingyuzi quickly shook her head, trying to discard all the bad things in her heart. But just then, some scenes from her memories surfaced before her eyes...
That was He Yunxiao's behavior late at night...
Scene after scene...
Qing Yuzi's breathing became heavy, and her pretty face, which was usually full of "vixen" charm, turned bright red, making her even more of a "femme fatale" figure. Unfortunately, no one had the chance to see it.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Now that you're awake, stop pretending. If you keep pretending, I... I won't let you off the hook."
