Love

Led by the innkeeper, we went up the steps and entered the guest rooms on the second floor.

Luo Yuheng waved his hand, manipulating the Love-Traveling Arhat to land in the corner, then took off his embroidered cloud-patterned shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Then, she shook out a large pile of bottles and jars, as well as small wooden boxes, from her sleeve.

Doraemon's sleeve?

Xu Qi'an looked on with considerable surprise. He had seen many storage Law Treasure, such as brocade pouches, mirrors, and porcelain, but he had never seen one that had a sleeve.

Suddenly, he understood why Luo Yuheng never changed her robes. She often changed her undergarments and underpants, which Xu Qi'an could attest to, but he had never seen her change her outer robes.

It turns out the robe was a Law Artifact.

Luo Yuheng uncorked each of the wooden plugs, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the room.

Almost forgot, she's a rich woman, she has all sorts of miraculous medicines. Compared to her, the orange cat Daoist priest is poor and stingy. Xu Qi'an breathed a slight sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.

He was constantly worried that Luo Yuheng's injuries were too severe and would affect her balance of karmic fire.

Seeing her so eager to spend money on in-game purchases, I immediately felt much more at ease.

Xu Qi'an immediately sat cross-legged by the bed, sitting side by side with Luo Yuheng.

He also needs to properly regulate his disordered meridians.

Prolonged circulation of Qi will impact several of the Demon-Sealing Nails, causing unbearable pain at the nail sites, essentially a recurrence of old injuries.

On the contrary, the wounds from the backlash of "shattering jade" have begun to heal slowly.

"It seems the Seven Deadly Gu is about to evolve, no, it's entering the next stage."

After a long period of painstaking nurturing, the Seven Deadly Gu has finally entered a critical period of transformation. In fact, after cultivating with Luo Yuheng, he has finally fulfilled the needs of the Seven Deadly Gu.

The pent-up emotions were finally released.

And because he gave a female cultivator at the peak of the second rank a handle, the Love Gu gained enormous benefits.

At that time, he felt that the love potion was about to mature, until the battle just now when he devoured the strange poisonous insects summoned by the Begging for Pleasure Pill.

The poisonous insects have reached new heights.

"Just a little bit more, only one membrane remains to be broken."

Xu Qi'an focused his attention on sensing the Seven Deadly Gu.

Time flew by as he practiced breathing exercises. He didn't know how much time had passed when Luo Yuheng gently woke him up.

Opening his eyes and looking out the window, he saw that it was already dark. Duqing Luohan sat quietly in the corner of the room.

"Imperial Preceptor, are you healed?"

"What is his condition now? Can he be woken up?"

Xu Qi'an said.

"I have temporarily sealed him away, placing him in a state of neither life nor death, unable to perceive the outside world."

The current Luo Yuheng is not aloof enough, not sharp enough; she's more like a sentimental lady raised in the seclusion of a wealthy family.

"If you want him to help you remove the Demon-Sealing Nail, you'll have to go back to the capital."

Seeing him frown, Luo Yuheng explained, "Although I can seal him, I can't kill him, let alone make him release the Demon-Sealing Nails. I don't want to give him the opportunity to perish together with you."

Xu Qi'an understood and pondered for a moment, then said, "Therefore, we need the Supervisor to act as the middleman."

Being able to defeat an Arhat does not mean you can command an Arhat to do things.

Especially when you can't kill the opponent.

They might just brainwash him and convert him to a monastery.

It would be good to return to the capital and inquire about the situation in Yunzhou from the Supervisor, as well as to learn about the recent developments of the major powers in the Nine Provinces.

And while you're at it, let me see the fish in my pond.

He had just thought that when he heard Luo Yuheng glare at him and say:

"You're not allowed to see those women."

Xu Qi'an hummed twice. "My heart only belongs to the Imperial Advisor." Anyway, you won't be yourself tomorrow.

Luo Yuheng, on the contrary, felt somewhat shy.

"Imperial Preceptor, is that sword a peerless divine weapon?"

Xu Qi'an pointed to the iron sword, half of which was stuck in the Arhat's head and the other half was sticking out.

Luo Yuheng nodded, then shook his head. "Originally, yes, but later its spirit was erased by its master."

"Um?"

Xu Qi'an expressed his doubt with a nasal sound.

"It was a peerless divine weapon of a leader of the Human Sect more than seven hundred years ago. That ancestor was unparalleled in swordsmanship and was famous throughout the Nine Provinces for his killing techniques. Gradually, the weapon spirit became more and more violent and bloodthirsty."

"When that patriarch was alive, he was able to suppress it. But when he died in the Heavenly Tribulation, the spirit of the artifact went out of control and caused considerable bloodshed. Later, it was subdued by the next leader of the Human Sect and its consciousness was erased."

"From then on, this sword became the vessel for storing Sword Qi and sword intent for successive generations of Daoist masters."

Luo Yuheng explained softly.

Xu Pingfeng is also at the peak of the second rank; I wonder if the Imperial Preceptor can defeat him. No, Warlock and Daoists are different systems, each with their own strengths; they cannot be categorized solely by combat power. Xu Qi'an added:

"How can I make a peerless weapon grow faster? During my battle today, I discovered a drawback of peerless weapons."

He told Luo Yuheng about Taipingdao, the not-so-bright child, and how he had been affected by the Heart Gu.

"This must be related to the nature of peerless divine weapons. Your sword isn't a weapon brimming with malevolence. Simply put, it lacks arrogance." Luo Yuheng pondered for a moment, then added:

"Besides, it has only recently developed consciousness; if I count on my fingers, it's less than half a year."

Taiping is still too young. Xu Qi'an thought helplessly.

"I do have an idea."

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up. "Please speak, Grand Preceptor."

"You now possess two strands of dragon energy within you; they're just sitting there anyway. Why not use them to nurture the Taiping Blade?" Luo Yuheng advised, seeing that Xu Qi'an didn't understand.

"The Sword that Protects the Nation!"

Xu Qi'an's eyes widened suddenly. "Is the Imperial Advisor saying that the Taiping Blade can be forged into Law Treasure like the National Protection Sword? Is that really possible?"

Luo Yuheng nodded:

"The National Guardian Sword itself is a peerless divine weapon, nurtured by the Qi of destiny for six hundred years before transforming into Law Treasure. However, this nurturing was unconscious and slow. You, on the other hand, can directly mobilize the Qi of the dragon to nurture your sword."

"While it's impossible to make your sword reach the same level as the national treasure sword in a short time, it might become a weapon that is below Law Treasure but above peerless divine weapons."

"At that time, we should be able to resist the effects of the Heart Gu."

Absolutely feasible!

Xu Qi'an became excited. Dragon energy is also a kind of fortune, and he could completely replicate the path of the National Guardian Sword.

He knew better than anyone how powerful and terrifying the Zhenguo Sword was.

It's a nightmare for top-tier experts.

If the Taiping Blade could become the second national treasure sword—no, it only needs to possess some similar characteristics—it was able to break Jingyuan's Vajra Divine Skill with a single strike in the previous battle.

Even if they face a third-rank Vajra in the future, they will still pose a threat.

"The Imperial Advisor is indeed incredibly wise; I never imagined that dragon energy could be utilized in this way," Xu Qi'an flattered.

Luo Yuheng appeared calm and aloof, but a hint of joy flickered in his eyes.

"So easy to coax. I wish she would always have this personality," Xu Qi'an thought to herself.

Without further delay, he immersed his consciousness in the small jade mirror, where the Taiping sword and the golden dragon shadow slept, along with some silver notes, gold and silver, jade and porcelain artifacts, and antiques.

Sensing the arrival of its master's consciousness, the Taiping Blade awoke, conveying a sense of joy and ingratiation.

Xu Qi'an ignored its attempts to please him and sent it into the dragon energy.

The Taiping Blade, "immersed" in the phantom of the golden dragon, emitted intermittent thoughts:

"Ah, this feels so good, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Who did he take after to have such a silly personality? Xu Qi'an frowned, and withdrew his thoughts unhappily.

"It worked!"

Xu Qi'an said.

Luo Yuheng nodded, and then said:

"I still have internal injuries. Although the Daoist School Dharma Body is said to be immortal, its recovery ability is far inferior to that of a martial artist."

"What should we do?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

Luo Yuheng said with some restraint:

"Dual cultivation can also heal injuries."

Inside the room, candlelight flickered.

A small space was partitioned off by a screen, and Luo Yuheng was soaking in the bathtub, her eyes half-closed.

Xu Qi'an lay on the bed, shirtless, with thick gauze wrapped around his chest.

The Arhat of Compassion sat cross-legged in the corner, facing the wall; this was arranged by Xu Qi'an.

Although Luo Yuheng said that the old monk was in a state of neither life nor death and could not perceive anything in the outside world.

After a long while, Luo Yuheng finished bathing and came out from behind the screen, wearing a feathered robe with the chest slightly open, revealing a patch of white skin.

Xu Qi'an glanced at the bodice and underpants hanging on the screen and couldn't help but laugh.

Luo Yuheng found his smile extremely lewd and frowned slightly.

She strolled to the bedside, first slipping her long legs under the covers, then lying down fully clothed.

This personality amplifies Luo Yuheng's affection for Xu Qi'an, even going so far as to say many shameful things. Therefore, she willingly engages in dual cultivation with Xu Qi'an.

However, she was also the most pretentious, her brows slightly furrowed, her hands tightly wrapped around her robe, protecting her chest.

Angry personality – Any touch from you will make me angry.

The desire-driven personality – "I want more, I want more," never satisfied.

Fearful personality – 98% chance of certain death, best not to get out of bed today.

A person with a sad personality: longs to be in a relationship but is afraid of being taken advantage of.

Xu Qi'an pulled back the covers to cover the two of them, pressed himself against her, braced his hands on the bed, and stared at her with burning eyes.

Luo Yuheng met his gaze for a few seconds, her face slightly flushed as she turned her head away. Her delicate ears were tinged with a rosy red, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

He finally lowered his head and kissed her cheek, then moved down her neck before burying his head under the covers.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating Luo Yuheng's flushed face, as if she were drunk.

She neither resisted nor complied, but from the increasingly reddened cheeks and heavier breathing, it could be judged that Xu Qi'an's oral skills had reached a level of perfection.

The Daoist priest's eyes were alluring, gazing dreamily at the rooftop.

The process of dual cultivation was quite tedious. By late at night, Xu Qi'an's injuries had healed, his breathing was long and deep, and he felt refreshed.

But deep down, there is a profound worry:

If I mistreat her like this, will she kill me with her sword after seven days?

The Xu Qi'an has been sleeping with these past few days isn't the normal Luo Yuheng, but rather a personality with amplified emotions. It's hard to imagine that the once aloof and cold Imperial Advisor would recover and recall the events of the past few days.

How would she react?

"You'd better slip away before the time comes, or you'll die a horrible death."

Xu Qi'an secretly made up his mind.

"Xu Lang, what are you thinking about?"

Luo Yuheng nestled in his arms, her hair disheveled, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes glazed over.

"Grand Preceptor, three days from now, when you remember the name 'Xu Lang,' you'll be furious and chase after me with your sword, won't you?" Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

At dawn.

This is the official road within the territory of Yongzhou.

The three riders galloped wildly, with a spirited and beautiful young girl in the center, a swordsman in a blue robe with a wisp of white hair on his forehead on his left, and a tall and burly middle-aged bald man on his right.

"Run! Run! Before my master catches up!" Li Miaozhen shouted.

"Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Li, is what you and Lord Xu are doing really the right thing to do?" Hengyuan said in a deep voice.

After he and Chu Yuanzhen entered Yongzhou City, they went into hiding and, while Bingyi Yuanjun and Xuancheng Daoist were fighting outside, secretly took Li Miaozhen away.

The two Yang Gods of the Heavenly Sect were used as tools for nothing, and the Holy Maiden was even "kidnapped".

Hengyuan felt that what Lord Xu and Li Miaozhen did was extremely dishonest.

"It's alright!"

Chu Yuanzhen smiled and said, "It's simply to let the two seniors travel around the mortal world a bit more."

The top scholar from Chu believed that the battle of wits between disciples and teachers would not cause any real harm to either side, and was quite interesting.

"My master is definitely furious right now. Oh no, she won't be angry, but the next time she sees Xu Qi'an, she'll most likely draw her sword and attack him."

Li Miaozhen chuckled and said:

"They would never have imagined that a seemingly dignified master would actually be such a shameless scoundrel."

Hengyuan said helplessly, "It's really not good to make fun of our elders like this."

"Number Six, what do you know? Xu Qi'an's move is wise."

Li Miaozhen snorted:

"Master and senior uncle are people who won't listen to advice, so they can't be persuaded. Force definitely won't work either. Luo Yuheng might be able to, but if she interferes in the affairs of the Heavenly Sect, she will definitely incur the wrath of the Heavenly Venerable, which will bring the conflict between the Celestial Person and the Human to come sooner than expected."

"Since neither persuasion nor force works, we'll have to resort to strategy. Hurry, we need to get to Xu Qi'an before dawn."

While his three companions traveled under the stars and moon, Xu Qi'an embraced Luo Yuheng's smooth and soft body, sleeping in the warm quilt.

Suddenly, he was awakened by a feeling of palpitation, knowing that the Earth Book had sent a message.

Raising his hand and gently beckoning, the Earth Book flew out from the clothes scattered on the ground and delivered himself into Xu Qi'an's hands.

[Two: Xu Qi'an, we've arrived. Which inn are you at?]

Upon seeing this sentence, Xu Qi'an shuddered, all drowsiness vanishing.

So fast?

Was it really necessary for them to travel overnight?

He hurriedly threw off the covers and got up, with only one thought in his mind: get another room.

He couldn't let Li Miaozhen see him sharing a bed with Luo Yuheng.

Luo Yuheng opened her eyes, hugged his waist, and giggled:

What is Mr. Xu going to do?

Xu Qi'an clearly noticed a change in her tone and expression; she was no longer the same as yesterday.

Upon closer observation, Luo Yuheng's eyes were filled with affection, and her smile was sweet, leading to an immediate guess.

like?

We're doomed!
