An Agreement with Zhao Hongying

Zhao Hongying was slightly taken aback, then looked at Wang Mengde with a smile, "You are indeed an extremely honest person."

Many cultivators are afraid of death, but they would never admit it.

Especially in front of beautiful female cultivators, they will definitely pretend to be very brave and fearless.

She had seen too many men like that, boasting in front of her about how brave they were and how they could take on ten men at once.

After hearing it so many times, I just find it greasy and annoying.

The fact that Wang Mengde's eyes had shown a hint of passion when he looked at her earlier meant that she was quite attractive to him.

But this man made no attempt to hide his fear of death, speaking frankly and openly.

She actually dislikes men, especially those who fawn over her, act brave, or pretend to be rich.

Wang Mengde's frankness, openly admitting his fear of death, actually earned her some favor.

Of course, it's just the kind of goodwill you feel as a regular friend.

She did not look down on Wang Mengde's caution and fear of death; on the contrary, she understood it very well.

Wang Mengde was just a Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement of Rogue Cultivator, with no power, influence, or background. If he wasn't careful, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Okay, I'll call you next time there's something like this," Zhao Hongying said readily.

Wang Mengde nodded and then asked, "Could you help me find out where I can find a body-strengthening Cultivation Method that allows An Xiu to quickly accumulate yin and yang strength?"

Zhao Hongying raised her head, looked at Wang Mengde, a slight smile playing on her lips, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You expect me, a female cultivator, to gather this information for you?"

Wang Mengde remained unfazed. "Don't you consider yourself a man? My ex-wife is with you now."

Zhao Hongying paused slightly, momentarily speechless.

That's hard to refute; the other party's ex-wife did indeed end up with him.

She smiled, ignoring his question, and instead answered it seriously, "The most important function of body cultivation Cultivation Method is to strengthen the body."

To strengthen the body, one must nourish and temper it.

Most body- Cultivation Method, to varying degrees, increase the body's internal heat and yang energy.

All the body-tempering Cultivation Method of the Evergreen Sect increase yang energy; none of them increase Yin-Nature Power.

The kind you're looking for is probably hard to find.

Wang Mengde already knew this result from Qingyue, so he wasn't disappointed. He simply nodded and said, "Qingyue told me that the Evergreen Sect doesn't have it, but please keep an eye out for it for me in the future."

If you discover Cultivation Method that can increase the Yin-Nature Power within your body, let me know.

Zhao Hongying glanced at him and teased, "Isn't it all for cultivating that Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula?"

Instead of wasting your Spirit Stone, you'd be better off finding a few more female cultivators who have mastered the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula.

If one isn't enough, then two; if two aren't enough, then three. Isn't that much faster than painstakingly searching for some body- Cultivation Method?

Wang Mengde knew she was joking, and he joked back, "Most of those who cultivate the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula are someone else's dao companion. I'm rather introverted and embarrassed to cultivate with someone else's dao companion."

Zhao Hongying paused slightly.

Is this introversion?

Who can openly cultivate with another person dao companion?

Wouldn't that be morally reprehensible and shameless?

She stood there, her phoenix eyes widening slightly, her lips parted slightly, looking as if she were choked and unable to speak.

Looking at her dazed expression, Wang Mengde felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Zhao Hongying was extremely beautiful, but she usually had a cold face and an aura that kept strangers at bay.

His dazed expression, coupled with his slightly widened phoenix eyes and slightly parted thin lips, created a striking and endearing contrast.

It's like a cool, aloof cat suddenly having its chin scratched, leaving it with a bewildered expression.

Influenced by the Cultivation Method, Wang Mengde's gaze towards the other party gradually intensified.

That kind of heat wasn't intentional; it burned from the very marrow, from the Dantian, and from every inch of skin.

The intense heat within his spiritual energy surged through his body, burning his mouth and throat, and his gaze involuntarily lingered on Zhao Hongying's face, neck, and collarbone.

Zhao Hongying noticed the gaze, her eyebrows furrowed, and her phoenix eyes glared. "If you look at me like that, I'll cut you up!"

The voice was as cold as a knife, clean and crisp, without the slightest ambiguity.

Wang Mengde took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy circulated Greater Celestial Circuit throughout his body, forcibly suppressing the restlessness.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the burning intensity in them had mostly subsided.

"It's all because you're too beautiful; it's made my Cultivation Method restless," he said helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mengde regretted it.

Isn't this just flirting?

Zhao Hongying paused slightly upon hearing this.

Is it because I'm good-looking?

These words sounded like flirting, but coming from Wang Mengde's mouth, coupled with his helpless yet honest expression, they didn't seem like frivolous remarks, but rather a statement of fact.

Moreover, she also knew that male cultivators who practiced the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula naturally had more yang energy in their bodies than ordinary people, and it was normal for them to sometimes lose control.

She felt no aversion, but simply gave a soft "humph" and didn't reply.

Wang Mengde quickly changed the subject. "You can ask someone to inquire about the Cultivation Method you helped me find out."

"Give me clear information, and I'll teach you the experience of either Water Escape Technique or Spirit Eye Technique for free."

Zhao Hongying's eyes lit up slightly.

This guy's Law Technique is incredibly powerful.

A free consultation is invaluable.

"Okay, I'll definitely ask around for you." She readily agreed.

After changing the subject, Zhao Hongying chatted for a few more minutes before getting up to say goodbye.

She stood up, straightened her sleeves, and said calmly, "It's getting late, I'll be going now."

Wang Mengde also stood up, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Are you going back to Azure Cliff Island?"

Zhao Hongying nodded. "Yes, I'll go back and go into seclusion for a while."

Wang Mengde said, "Please wait a moment."

Although Zhao Hongying was puzzled, she nodded nonetheless.

Wang Mengde took out a Message Talisman from his pocket, his fingertips flashing with light as he quickly typed in a line of text.

A moment later, another Talisman in Wang Mengde's arms lit up.

Upon receiving the desired information, a smile appeared in Wang Mengde's eyes.

"Go to Azure Cliff Island, and take me with you." Wang Mengde looked up at Zhao Hongying: "Give me a ride, and I'll give you fifty Spirit Stone as a reward."

The spiritual energy was extremely hot, so I needed to neutralize it to boost my cultivation level.

Ye Wuhen had set up a trapping formation outside the island. He was already prepared, wearing a mask and thick clothes to change his body shape. He could then use the Thousand-Mile Wind-Riding Talisman to fly away.

However, using the talisman in addition to casting the Spirit Eye Technique was quite strenuous.

I might as well hitch a ride with Zhao Hongying.

Zhao Hongying pondered for a moment, then nodded.

It's just bringing one person along, nothing serious.

Wang Mengde immediately took out fifty Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and handed them over.

Zhao Hongying took the Spirit Stone and casually put it into her bag.

Seeing that she had accepted the Spirit Stone, Wang Mengde's expression turned serious, and he pointed his right hand like a sword. "I, Wang Mengde, hereby swear that I will not harm Zhao Hongying in any way while riding on her Flying Sword."

"If I break this oath, may I be struck by heavenly lightning and all my cultivation be destroyed."

Then, he stared straight at Zhao Hongying.

The meaning is clear... it's your turn.

Zhao Hongying paused slightly.

That bastard is far too cautious.

The other party just made an oath, seemingly to show sincerity, but in reality, it was to get her to make an oath as well.

I wanted her to give me a ride, but I didn't trust her.

That guy is a complete jerk.

She suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Those fifty Spirit Stone don't seem to be so easy to earn.
