"I'm all better now."
Mu Qingyun casually grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her face was flushed from the intense training, and she looked quite cute.
"Okay, I'll practice with you." Su Qilu smiled slightly. "You should rest for a while first."
"Okay." She nodded, casually sat down next to him, and asked, "How do you usually cultivate your dual abilities? You should cultivate slower than others, so why are you so strong in both?"
She paused for a moment, then frowned in thought, "Could it be that you really are a prodigy?"
“Yeah, how did you know? You’re so smart.” Su Qiluo smiled. “Genius is 99% effort and 1% talent. Luckily, my 1% talent completely surpasses everyone else’s 99% effort.”
"..."
Mu Qingyun remained silent, but couldn't help but think to herself, "She really has no modesty at all."
"Want to go out for dinner together tonight?" Su Qiluo turned to look at her and said softly, "Let's go to that little street again. This time I'll buy you flowers, and we can also go to that couples' restaurant."
"A couples' restaurant?" She frowned.
"Yeah, it was Valentine's Day that day, and they were serving couple's套餐 (set meals). At the time, I thought you weren't the person I liked," he explained.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun suddenly realized what was going on.
She said that Su Qiluo had clearly led her towards that upscale restaurant that day, but then suddenly changed direction and went to a barbecue stall behind it.
"I didn't agree to be with you. Are you going to pursue me for a while before taking me to a place like that?" A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes as she turned to look at Su Qiluo.
Hearing her words, Su Qiluo couldn't help but laugh, "It was just a holiday that day. Besides, if they only have couple's set meals today, then we'll go to that barbecue stall again."
Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes. It seemed feasible. The food at that barbecue stall was really delicious. She brought it back to the hotel and even cooked some other things to add to it.
The broth from his shop is so delicious that it's even good for boiling shoe soles.
After resting for a while, Su Qiluo found a practice area, took her there, and cleared the area.
“Come on, I’ll train with you.” He walked to the far east side of the training ground, turned around and looked at her standing on the west side. “I won’t hold back. If you can’t take it, be sure to call a stop in time. Don’t push yourself.”
"Okay." Flames erupted from Mu Qingyun's right hand, while the plant-based supernatural power in her left hand stirred restlessly.
She admires strength; she not only likes strong people, but also enjoys confronting them.
She was hesitant about whether or not to tell Su Qiluo about her plant-based superpowers.
Forget it, she'll wait until she's completely sure of her feelings before saying anything.
Moreover, she wanted to use this plant-based ability to give the Mid-Autumn Festival a surprise. Before entering the second level, she wanted to search for peach blossom seeds. Then, under the peach blossom tree, she could either listen to Su Qiluo's confession or confess her own love to Su Qiluo.
There's no way around it; having been a prince and emperor for so long, she's developed a fondness for pomp and circumstance.
"It's starting." Su Qiluo stretched out his right hand and drew a circle in front of him, just like in a game. All the water in the training field immediately rushed over and formed a hollow circle along his fingertip.
Mu Qingyun looked at the small water circle, her whole body tense up, and she drew a dagger from her waist.
She had heard that Su Qiluo would not make any unnecessary moves; once he made a move, it would be fatal, giving no one a chance to breathe.
Sure enough, the next second, the hollow circles formed by the water flow suddenly flew towards her, turning into sharp water blades that shot straight at her face.
Seeing this, she turned slightly and ran quickly towards him, her body skimming the ground. Water Blades surrounded her from all sides, based on her location.
Fortunately, she knew lightness skills in her previous life. Although she did not inherit the throne in this life, her body's speed was obviously faster than ordinary people due to the circulation of energy in her dantian.
Her body rolled on the ground, leaving afterimages. Su Qiluo watched her approach, unsure whether she was too fast for him to react or if he deliberately didn't dodge.
Mu Qingyun hugged Su Qiluo tightly, her arms around his neck, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Did you do that on purpose?"
“It was intentional.” Su Qiluo looked down at her, his smile evident in his eyes.
"Why?"
"Because you can't hurt me, it's okay even if you get close." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qiluo's left hand was already on her waist.
Even through the fabric, she could feel the heat of Su Qiluo's hands. If he used his light-based powers, the skin on her waist would probably be burned.
"Yeah?"
She deliberately dragged out her words, and the dagger in her hand was now pressed against Su Qiluo's back. If she stabbed him in this spot, he would die instantly.
"You can try." Su Qiluo chuckled, leaned down and blew a breath into her ear, "Come on, stab me."
Provoking her?
Mu Qingyun's eyes turned cold, and with a sudden burst of strength, she thrust backward!
However, the sharp dagger stopped behind him, and she channeled all her energy into her hand, stabbing with all her might.
No matter how hard she tried, the dagger just wouldn't go in.
"Cough cough."
A cough came from the entrance to the arena. The Doctor looked at them expressionlessly and said calmly, "If you're going to fight, then fight properly. Are you flirting here?"
With a third person present, Mu Qingyun suddenly retreated, keeping a distance from Su Qiluo. "Don't use water, just use light to practice with me. There's a counter-relationship. It'll be too difficult for me to fight, and I won't make much progress."
"Okay." Su Qiluo looked at her with great affection and smiled at this obviously unreasonable request, agreeing without saying a word.
"..."
The doctor looked at this unique honor and was speechless. Wise people don't fall in love. He never got married in his life because he was afraid of becoming a fool.
Withdrawing her water-based powers, Su Qiluo gathered light in her palm, the dazzling light shooting into her eyes, causing her to involuntarily close them.
Waves of light energy shot out from Su Qiluo's hand. Mu Qingyun closed her eyes, and her right hand's fire energy formed a protective barrier in front of her.
However, when the ball of light collided with the fire barrier, it almost instantly destroyed the barrier. The fire was destroyed, but the ball of light was not weakened at all.
That's it, the difference in ability is too great. In front of Su Qiluo, she is simply like an ant that can be crushed at will.
Clenching his left hand, a green light flickered in his palm. His plant-based abilities fueled his fire-based abilities, instantly amplifying them by more than a hundredfold.
Fireballs flew frequently from her hands, hurling them at the light orbs that were attacking her. The fireballs struck the light orbs, causing huge energy waves.
"this……"
Seeing this unusual movement, the doctor frowned deeply. Suddenly, a supernatural power appeared in his right hand, turning into strands of golden threads that wrapped around Mu Qingyun.
