PS: No clones, everyone, rest assured.
Your waist hurt too?
Lin Nuo was clearly stunned for quite a while before he came to his senses.
Thinking back to last night's intense Soul Duel, during the latter half, it had clearly been him, Lin, recklessly draining the Soul Power in his body. Why would Qian Renxue's waist hurt?
Of course, those details no longer seemed important.
Since Qian Renxue's waist hurt,
it was naturally his duty to give her a massage and help her relax.
A warm, delicate sensation came through his palm, and Lin Nuo could not help recalling the line:
"Granted a bath in Huaqing Pool on a cold spring day, her skin washed smooth by the slick hot-spring waters."
For a moment, the pleasant sensation made Qian Renxue involuntarily let out a purr from her throat, like a kitten guarding its food.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue sensed that something was wrong.
Why did everything around her feel so chilly?
If she remembered correctly, hadn't she been in the secret chamber where she usually cultivated in seclusion, refining that Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower?
In a daze, Qian Renxue seemed to recall a few scattered fragments.
It seemed she had used that tyrannical, blazing medicinal power to completely release the nature she had suppressed for years?
Some blush-inducing scenes even surfaced in her mind.
Something was wrong—twelve kinds of wrong!
But then Qian Renxue recalled that when she had refined Whale Rubber in Heaven Dou City before, similar symptoms had appeared.
"It's no big deal. It's just a hallucination caused by cultivation deviation."
Qian Renxue comforted herself inwardly.
Wait!
Something seemed off?
Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze colliding directly with Lin Nuo's clear, innocent-looking eyes.
For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the scene.
Several breaths later!
