"Well... Mom..." I don't know how much time passed, but Xiao Lingxi on the bed slowly woke up from her sleep, opened her purple eyes, and mumbled subconsciously.
For a long time, no one responded. The room was empty and there was only Xiao Lingxi. At this time, Gu Yuena was still being pulled by Xiao Jinchen in Exotic Flame Space to practice marksmanship. Naturally, no one responded to her.
"Mom, mom!" Xiao Lingxi rubbed his sleepy eyes, climbed down from the bed in confusion, and called in a sweet voice.
Xiao Lingxi stepped on the cold floor with her bare feet, and her body swayed before she could stand still. She sniffed, with tears in her purple eyes, looking around like a little abandoned animal.
"Mom... where are you?" Xiao Lingxi saw no one responded for a long time, his mouth suddenly dropped, and his little face was full of confusion.
"Click! Crack!"
Xiao Lingxi staggered to the door. She stood on tiptoes to grab the door handle, but she was too short to reach it. Tears overflowed from her eyes in such a hurry that they dropped to the ground, making a small slapping sound.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Mom doesn't want Xiao Xi anymore..." Xiao Lingxi cried so hard that her shoulders twitched, her small body leaned against the head of the bed, and slowly slid to the ground.
Just when she was crying the most sadly, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Instead of expecting the familiar gentle embrace of my mother, what came in was a big sister with long golden hair.
As soon as Di Qiu'er entered the door, he looked at Xiao Lingxi who was sobbing on the bedside, and a look of panic flashed across her golden eyes.
Di Qiu'er's room was not far from Gu Yuena's room, just next door. She had just come to check after hearing the crying. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Lingxi huddled on the bedside crying.
Di Qiu'er is not good at coaxing children at all. She herself was pampered by Di Tian and the others. At this moment, she could only squat down stiffly, stretched out a finger, and awkwardly poked Xiao Lingxi's tear-stained little face.
"Xiao Xi... don't cry." Di Qiu'er soothed softly. "Your mother didn't want you, she probably just went out for something."
Xiao Lingxi raised her tearful eyes and looked at Di Qiu'er in front of her. She sniffed and quickly recognized the person.
Since Gu Yuena gave birth to her daughter, Di Qiu'er has been visiting her frequently, so the little one is naturally no stranger to her.
Xiao Lingxi wiped her tear-stained face, and a crying voice came out of her little mouth, "Sister Qiu'er... I want my mother..."
"Xiao Xi." Di Qiu'er took out a toffee with a light milky fragrance from Storage Soul Tool, handed it to Xiao Lingxi, smiled gently and said, "Here, eat the candy. Don't cry after eating it."
Xiao Lingxi stared at the candy, and then glanced at Di Qiu'er's gentle expression. He hesitated for a moment, stretched out his small and delicate hands and took the toffee.
"Sister Qiu'er... then do you know where mom went?" Xiao Lingxi peeled off the outer candy wrapper of the toffee, took it into his mouth, and then asked vaguely.
"Hmm... I don't know, but your mother should come back to you soon." Di Qiu'er reached out and picked up Xiao Lingxi from the ground, put it on the bed, and explained slowly.
At the same time, inside Exotic Flame Space...
"Crack!"
Xiao Jinchen slapped Gu Yuena's round and straight buttocks hard, and there was a crisp slap sound immediately.
"Na'er, how about it? Do you admit defeat?" Xiao Jinchen continued waving the spear and said with a smile.
"No... it's not... you... why are you getting stronger again..." Gu Yuena said intermittently, panting heavily.
Xiao Jinchen raised his hand and touched his nose, increased the speed of his attack, and said with a wicked smile, "It's just a fluke."
"Hmm~" Feeling Xiao Jinchen's increasingly rapid speed, Gu Yuena couldn't help but have a nice blush on her pretty face, and let out a low moan.
"You call this a fluke? Is it a fluke to be promoted to eight stars in one year of seclusion?" Gu Yuena glared at Xiao Jinchen in shame, appearing quite dissatisfied with the former's sudden acceleration. Immediately, a hint of disappointment flashed across her beautiful purple eyes.
For more than a year, it was difficult for her to improve even half a star, let alone one star.
Previously, he naively thought that practicing Dou Qi was just a matter of course. It was not until he really set his mind to practice hard that he realized how difficult it was for a Dou Zun level expert to break through to one star.
This is why Gu Yuena found it a little hard to accept that Xiao Jinchen had only been in retreat for just over a year and had danced eight stars in a row.
She has been practicing hard for a year, but she has not been able to break through even one star. Xiao Jinchen is good, the breakthrough is as easy as drinking water, and she still calls it a "lucky". It is really disgusting!
Her heart suddenly became unbalanced, her pink lips pursed tightly, and her pretty face was filled with an unconcealable look of unhappiness.
"What? Are you angry now?" Xiao Jinchen was slightly startled when he saw Gu Yuena's suddenly unhappy expression, but he quickly reacted and joked.
"Where... how can..." Gu Yuena turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jinchen behind him who was still attacking, and muttered unhappily.
"Isn't it really because I broke through too quickly and made you feel unbalanced?" Xiao Jinchen chuckled.
"I told you, I... uh huh~" Before Gu Yuena could finish her words, Xiao Jinchen behind her suddenly exerted force and accelerated her attack again, which made her moan uncontrollably and blocked her next words.
"Na'er." Xiao Jinchen thought for a while and said with a smile, "Since you think cultivation is too slow, then I will teach you a shortcut that doesn't require so much effort."
"What... what... shortcut?" Gu Yuena bit her pink lower lip, barely withstanding Xiao Jinchen's fierce attack, and then asked in a low voice.
Xiao Jinchen did not directly answer Gu Yuena. He freed up a hand and flicked Storage Ring, took out a small jade bottle, and immediately swallowed the elixir in the jade bottle without hesitation.
"Double cultivation." Xiao Jinchen breathed out, felt the power of the medicine in his body and smiled lightly, saying, "Na'er, the power of the medicine will be fed back to you from my side, you have to hold on."
"Boom!"
A simple sentence, like thunder, exploded in Gu Yuena's mind. Her originally rosy cheeks were now like ripe apples, and even her neck was stained with a layer of crimson.
"You bastard! Why can't you give me the elixir directly? You have to use this method!" Gu Yuena naturally noticed Xiao Jinchen's action of swallowing the elixir, and shouted shyly.
