Her murmurs were unconsciously soft and seductive to the bone.
The sound was like a spark igniting the final fuse.
Su Changqing could no longer suppress himself. He reached out and pulled her tightly into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss her red lips fiercely.
Damn it, what in the world is going on!
What happened when I was absorbing the immortal herb???
"Mmm..."
Hu Liena stiffened slightly at first, then, as if finding an outlet, responded with a raw yet passionate fervor.
Their reason completely burned away under the dual impact of the medicinal properties and instinct.
The temperature in the cave seemed to instantly rise.
Their clothes became disheveled amidst the intense kissing and fumbling.
Hu Liena felt his touch without resisting, letting Su Changqing do as he pleased. Both were on the verge of collapse!
Lost in passion, they were about to completely lose control.
Just as the final defense was about to be breached, the pure and yang Light Spirit Power within Su Changqing, driven by the immortal herb's medicinal effects, began to circulate to its extreme on its own!
A wisp of extremely pure spirit power, imbued with a sacred purifying aura, was transferred into Hu Liena's body through their tightly connected lips.
Feeling that power, Hu Liena's delicate body trembled violently, and a trace of clarity returned to her hazy eyes.
Wherever that wisp of pure Light Spirit Power passed, the heat and desire quickly dissolved, completely purified.
Su Changqing also suddenly sobered up. Looking at Hu Liena, whose clothes were disheveled, revealing her fair skin, he immediately stopped all his actions. He forcibly suppressed the remaining restlessness within him and continued to transmit gentle purifying energy.
A moment later, the toxins within Hu Liena were completely purified.
She was fully awake now. Recalling the bold and wild scene just now, her pretty face instantly flushed so red it looked like it would bleed. She abruptly pushed Su Changqing away, fumbling to pull up her clothes. Turning away, she was too ashamed to look at him, her heart pounding like a startled deer.
Su Changqing was also a bit awkward. He rubbed his nose and quickly tidied his own clothes.
For a moment, only their slightly rapid breaths filled the cave, the atmosphere thick with unspoken tension and awkwardness.
"No, what happened to me just now after absorbing the immortal herb?"
Su Changqing broke the silence first.
"Um... I accidentally mistook that Soul Beast's poison sac for a Soul Bone, and then..."
Hu Liena's voice was barely a whisper. Her back was to him, and even her fair neck was tinged with pink.
"So that's what happened... Fortunately, my spirit power could purify it. It's all fine now."
Hu Liena didn't turn around, just shook her head gently.
"Mhm..."
They fell silent again, but an indescribable intimacy and awkwardness had quietly spread through the air.
After this unexpected encounter of passion and danger, their relationship seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
The ambiguous and awkward atmosphere in the cave lingered for a moment before Su Changqing finally broke the silence again.
He cleared his throat and said as naturally as possible, "We shouldn't stay here long. The commotion from the fight earlier was significant, and it might attract other Soul Beasts or prying eyes. We need to leave as soon as possible."
Hu Liena, still facing away from him, softly hummed in agreement, her voice still as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Just as she was about to stand up, soul power fluctuations suddenly erupted around her, and her Martial Soul was released unconsciously!
Hu Liena's body trembled violently, her face instantly turned pale, and fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
She involuntarily clutched her lower abdomen as an indescribable restlessness and burning sensation surged from her dantian, far more intense than when she was poisoned before!
"Ugh..."
She let out a pained groan, her body swaying precariously.
"Sister Nana! What's wrong?"
Su Changqing's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Could it be that the poison wasn't completely cleared?"
He immediately circulated his Light Spirit Power, attempting to purify her again.
However, this time, when his spirit power probed into Hu Liena's body, he encountered a completely different situation.
It wasn't a sinister poison, but an extremely vast energy surging wildly within her, impacting her meridians and the origin of her Martial Soul!
"It's not poison..."
Hu Liena gasped with difficulty, her voice filled with pain and a hint of unbelievable excitement.
"My Martial Soul... it seems to be about to evolve!"
Hearing this, Su Changqing's heart stirred, and he immediately focused his senses to perceive carefully.
Indeed, deep within Hu Liena's dantian, the phantom image of her Demon Fox Spirit was beginning to transform!
Could it be that the energy transfer I just gave Hu Liena caused her Martial Soul to evolve?
Martial Soul Evolution, what an incredibly rare and fortunate opportunity on the Douluo Continent!
It often requires exceptionally unique conditions to trigger.
And Hu Liena's Demon Fox Spirit is already one of the top-tier Martial Souls. If it evolves further, its potential will be immeasurable!
"Sister Nana, calm your mind and breathe, I'll help your Martial Soul evolve!"
Su Changqing helped Hu Liena sit down cross-legged. He then quickly sat behind her, placing his palms against her back.
Pure and vast Light Spirit Power flowed into Hu Liena's body like a warm torrent.
Hu Liena gritted her silver teeth, enduring the swelling pain as her meridians were scoured by the energy. She desperately maintained her consciousness, cooperating with Su Changqing's guidance.
She could feel the power from behind her, intensely yang and pure. Wherever it passed, the rampant energy seemed to be tamed slightly, becoming more orderly.
Their Soul Powers were intimately connected at this moment, their auras merging.
Time trickled by. The cave was silent, with only their slightly heavy breaths and the faint hum of Soul Power circulating.
After an unknown amount of time, the rampant energy within Hu Liena finally began to calm down, completely integrating into her Martial Soul and meridians.
Her complexion regained its rosy hue, and her breathing became long and powerful. Through this evolution, her Soul Power had broken through again, reaching level fifty-seven!
She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, which shimmered with brilliance, filled with surprise and disbelief.
She subconsciously released her Martial Soul.
A spectral fox phantom, pure white with crystalline fur, appearing as if it didn't belong to the mortal world, materialized behind her.
Compared to before, it was less seductive and more noble and mysterious. Its powerful mental fluctuations and Martial Soul pressure far surpassed its previous state!
"My Martial Soul... it really evolved!"
Hu Liena immediately hugged Su Changqing tightly, even kissing his cheek again in her excitement.
"Sister Nana, calm down a bit..."
Su Changqing felt a little embarrassed.
Hu Liena's eyes held a hint of flirtatiousness, "You've already kissed my lips and touched me, what are you still shy about?"
"Uh..."
Su Changqing was speechless. After a long moment, he finally said, "Alright, let's hurry back to the academy."
"Let's go."
Hu Liena directly linked her arm with Su Changqing's. The two then left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to the Martial Soul Hall Academy.
Outside Su Changqing's dormitory, the two stood at the door.
"Sister Nana, would you like to come in for a bit?"
"No, my Martial Soul evolved. I need to go tell the teacher this news, I'll be going now."
"Okay, bye Sister Nana."
Hu Liena didn't leave. Instead, she stood in place and raised her hand, tapping her cheek with her jade finger.
Su Changqing's mouth twitched. He understood what she meant.
