The sky was bright.
Shen Zhiyi slowly awoke.
She met a pair of dark, calm eyes, and suddenly remembered everything that had happened last night, her face instantly turning bright red.
She buried her head in his chest.
A smile flickered in Cang Liuyu's eyes. He placed his large hand on her head and ruffled it. "Why don't you dare look at me?"
Shen Zhiyi was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word.
She realized she was actually quite incompetent.
Any member of the Hehuan Sect would have pinched the other person's face and teased them leisurely afterwards.
She, on the other hand, didn't even dare to look at him.
no.
We cannot bring shame to the sect.
She took a deep breath, looked up, and was about to look at him when she suddenly discovered a pure spiritual energy flowing slowly through her dantian.
Her eyes widened.
She suddenly lowered her head and looked at her palm.
"I...I've broken through to a higher realm?!"
"Hmm." Cang Liuyu said calmly, "Having broken through five realms, he is now in the late stage of the Golden Core realm."
The Five Realms?!
Shen Zhiyi sat up abruptly.
Then wouldn't he be...?
"How could this happen?" She nervously grabbed Cang Liuyu's wrist, examining his meridians. "Didn't I not absorb your cultivation?"
"What's wrong with you... huh?" She was a little stunned, turned to look at him, and even raised her voice by half an octave unconsciously.
"Why is he still in the Nascent Soul stage???"
Normally, shouldn't he have regressed five realms and become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage?
Why did they only retreat two borders?
Cang Liuyu lowered his eyes, staring at her clenching her fingertips, his voice revealing a languidness after satiation, "With the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, one is naturally stronger."
"Two against five, is that hard to understand?"
Shen Zhiyi let go of his hand.
"I really want to compete with you guys who get good grades."
Cang Liuyu chuckled softly, then suddenly looked up and stared intently at her. "From now on, I'll be here for you."
"I won't let you come in last."
His large hand reached over the brocade quilt and gently pinched her fingertips.
Then, it gradually came together.
Until her entire hand was firmly enveloped in his palm.
Shen Zhiyi met his deep, unfathomable gaze, her palm gently caressed by his rough fingertips.
My ears suddenly felt hot.
Her gaze was completely captivated by him, unable to look away even for a moment.
The world is quiet.
It seemed as if only their breaths remained, slowly spreading in the ambiguous atmosphere...
Bang bang bang—
"Miss Chen, are you up?"
Lu Ziyu's clear voice rang out from outside the door, "I've prepared breakfast. Would Miss Lu do me the honor of having a meal with me?"
Squeak—
The door opened.
Cang Liuyu looked at him with a cold expression, his long hair loosely tied up and his clothes disheveled.
“She’s not hungry.” The deep, cold voice was as cold as frost.
Lu Ziyu also froze on the spot.
"Sword Master... how come it's you?" His gaze swept over Cang Liuyu's slightly open collar.
There were several obvious red teeth marks on her fair neck and collarbone.
Lu Ziyu's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You, you all..."
He looked into the room, and Cang Liuyu turned slightly to the side.
His tall figure blocked all his view.
Lu Ziyu's face turned ashen.
"Is there anything else?" Cang Liuyu glanced at him indifferently, his dark eyes like a deep pool, unfathomable yet gleaming with a cold light.
Lu Ziyu's breath hitched, still unwilling to give up: "Sword Master, shouldn't you ask Miss Chen? What if she wants to eat it?"
Cang Liuyu's calm gaze fell on his face, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
He slightly curled his thin lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
“I told you, she’s full.”
The wooden door slammed shut.
Lu Ziyu was so shocked that his whole body trembled.
He suddenly remembered that Cang Liuyu was highly skilled in cultivation and always treated people coldly. Why would he not use a purification technique and open the door in such disheveled clothes?
It was clearly done for him!
We need to make him completely give up on Shen Zhiyi!
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyu instantly felt his male dignity was challenged. Although his cultivation was inferior to Lu Ziyu's, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Sword Master," he pounded on the door angrily, "How could you, a disciple of the Heartless Path, secretly form a Daoist partnership with Miss Shen?"
"If the Sword Sect elders find out, they will definitely not let you off!"
A sharp sword aura suddenly flew out!
The wooden door was opened again!
Cang Liuyu's clothes were intact, his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and his eyes and brows exuded a murderous aura.
He turned sideways, gripping the Broken Water Sword horizontally, pointing it directly at Lu Ziyu.
"So, you, a thousand-year-old red fox, possessing a mortal's body, concealing your demonic aura, and harming living beings, will I let you go?"
Lu Ziyu was stunned for a moment.
Then, a strange smile appeared on his face.
When did you recognize me?
"The moment I saw you." Cang Liuyu's robes fluttered, carrying a chilling aura.
Red foxes are adept at hiding.
Without sufficient incentives, it will not take form at all.
But there are only two things that can attract it.
Or perhaps it gets close to Shen Zhiyi and seduces her into developing feelings for him.
Alternatively, it might use Lu Ziyu's identity to curry favor with Shen Zhiyi, arousing his jealousy and causing him to develop feelings for her.
Cang Liuyu had a cold expression on his face.
He had long been attracted to her.
If there is danger, you should come for him.
The sword that cuts through water moves.
The red fox screamed.
A wisp of demonic energy suddenly emerged from Lu Ziyu's body, leaped into the air, and condensed into a terrifying fox demon form.
It has long, sharp nails, green eyes, and a fiery red fox tail.
Lu Ziyu closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
The red fox narrowed its eyes, looked at Cang Liuyu, and laughed, revealing its sharp teeth, "I never thought that the dignified Sword Master of the Ruthless Path would be such a lovelorn fool!"
Hahahaha!
