Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 224: "Singing to the Wind and Moon, How Pleasant"

Chapter 224: "Singing to the Wind and Moon, How Pleasant"

I don’t know how much time has passed, the sky is still the same as before, the fire is shining, and the ocean is surging.

"Um……"

Ling Jiaoyue opened her eyes drowsily and frowned unconsciously.

How did I faint...

Ling Jiaoyue rubbed her head, looking a little confused, and she moved slightly.

His waist and knees were sore, as if he had been seriously injured.

Ling Jiaoyue sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling too weak to move even the slightest. The scene before the blackout slowly reappeared in her mind.

She tried her best to refine the essence of the black ice, but was unable to melt it, and her sanity was destroyed by the endless cold.

Lu Zhan also ate half of the essence of the divine fire. His situation was completely opposite to hers, but he ended up with the same result.

Before their sanity completely collapsed, they chose to complement each other.

Lu Zhan is very unbridled, and also very skilled...

She cried many times during this period...

I cried until I was exhausted, felt dizzy, and then lost consciousness...

If it weren't for the pain in her body reminding her, she would have thought it was just a dream.

I actually fainted?

Ling Jiaoyue couldn't believe it. She glanced at Lu Zhan who was still sleeping beside her. She gritted her teeth, reached out to him, and wanted to stab him a few times to vent her anger.

Although that was a consensual thing, but... he was too cruel.

Fairy Ling gestured to him twice and took two deep breaths before returning to her usual cool and aloof self.

But even though she appeared calm on the surface, she was ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and even secretly hated herself for being impulsive...

Complex emotions flowed in the lake of her heart, and Ling Jiaoyue simply closed her eyes and took a nap.

……

"Why did you fall asleep again after waking up?"

Lu Zhan noticed her actions and knew that she was too embarrassed to face him, but there was nothing he could do.

There were only two of them in this area. If they were outside, he could just avoid her temporarily and let her calm down.

There is no way to avoid this kind of place now.

"I'm still a little sleepy..." Ling Jiaoyue closed her eyes. She was completely awake and said calmly: "Just treat what happened before as..."

"?" Seeing her hesitate to speak, Lu Zhan couldn't help but laugh: "Just pretend it never happened? That's not what you said before."

Ling Jiaoyue closed her eyes and didn't look at him. She wanted to say "Just pretend it never happened", but she couldn't. If she didn't say that, she didn't know what to say.

Should she say, "You did a good job, let's keep up the good work in the future?" She couldn't even bring herself to say such words.

She just wanted to do something now to save her reputation.

"But if you don't want me to be responsible for you, then I am also happy to do that." Lu Zhan knew how to deal with her, so he said: "I don't know how many people want to sing and dance with me like this, without having to take responsibility."

Singing to the wind and moon?

Ling Jiaoyue was startled and could no longer pretend to be calm. She sat up suddenly, and the weak feeling in her waist made her feel ashamed and annoyed again: "Don't talk nonsense! You are like a pervert."

"I am." Seeing that she could no longer pretend to be calm, Lu Zhan was somewhat amused: "Didn't you notice something was wrong? Try to circulate your Qi."

"Hmm?" Ling Jiaoyue was in a daze, and only then did she realize that her true energy had become sharper. She couldn't help but show surprise on her face.

After she woke up, the first thing she thought about was how to face Lu Zhan, and she actually ignored the changes in her body.

After Lu Zhan's reminder, she realized that the true Qi in her Qi Sea was vast, like a deep ocean, and her spiritual awareness was sharp, allowing her to know everything around her with just one thought.

During that dual cultivation where she had no idea what heaven and earth were, she actually broke into the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm.

You may even be just one step away from entering the later stage.

Is this the power of the icy body?

Or...is this the power of the ice essence?

Fairy Ling was very surprised. The ice essence was a companion to the holy object. This treasure was for her to use. In addition, she had a rare icy body. With these two bonuses and practicing dual cultivation with Lu Zhan, her skills naturally increased greatly.

She couldn't wait to practice her skills, and a wisp of aqua blue six-sided ice flower emerged from between her eyebrows. This was the essence of ice.

With the addition of essence, her sword power is as powerful as that of a giant.

Ling Jiaoyue was in high spirits. Although she lost a lot this time, she gained more.

The benefits brought by the ice essence are far more than just breaking through the realm.

The power contained in this holy object cannot be absorbed overnight. She is currently just relying on Lu Zhan's help to completely integrate the ice essence into her body.

But to completely refine the ice essence is not a one-day job, but as long as the body and the essence are integrated, the essence will continuously nourish the body and even break the shackles of the ice body. Even if she does not rely on dual cultivation in the future, her cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds.

This is the greatest help that the essence of black ice can provide to her.

Although...she relied on dual cultivation to gain such help, but everything has its gains and losses.

Ling Jiaoyue's brows were filled with joy, and her beautiful face was filled with smiles, like a lotus blooming in the snow, cold and noble, giving people a feeling that she could be admired from afar but not touched.

She rarely looked so happy as she did at this moment. The benefits of the essence were truly beyond her imagination.

No wonder so many people are flocking to the Essence of Divine Fire. According to her cultivation speed, if she wanted to break into the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm, it would take at least a year and a half of dedicated practice.

But after obtaining the ice essence, she just... just refined it with Lu Zhan, and she suddenly broke through.

"Congratulations to the fairy for her improvement in cultivation."

A lazy voice sounded from behind, causing Ling Jiaoyue to immediately stop smiling and straighten her body.

She was quite annoyed when she heard the word "fairy". When the two of them were practicing dual cultivation, Lu Zhan would embarrass her by saying "A fairy would be like this?" when he saw that she took the initiative.

It seems that this name has some special function.

Ling Jiaoyue took a deep breath, turned away with a cold expression, and dressed herself silently. Just as she stood up, she realized that her legs were so weak that she staggered. She couldn't help but glare at Lu Zhan: "This is all your fault!"

Even after breaking into the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm, she was still extremely weak.

Lu Zhan was really rude and impolite. He could have practiced dual cultivation step by step, but he was like a wave washing away the sand, leaving only dark and colorful marks on the white beach.

Even if he was wrapped in layers of white clothes, it couldn't hide the evidence of his guilt.

Fairy Ling held her sword, pretending to be calm, but her eyes were fixed on the hem of her skirt.

She suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some dried marks on her skirt, like water.

Lu Zhan smiled and explained, "It rained too hard last night and the hem of your skirt got wet. I was kind enough to dry it for you. You don't have to thank me. It's just a piece of cake."

rain?

Why is it raining here?

Ling Jiaoyue looked puzzled, but soon became furious: "Shut up!"

For the first time, Ling Jiaoyue hated herself for having such a good memory. She remembered all the details very clearly.

Lu Zhan had no scruples when it came to eating, he put everything into his mouth. Even if she was extremely reluctant, her body would react honestly.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. How do you feel? Are you okay?" Lu Zhan asked with concern. He had indeed hit her pretty hard before.

I guess the perky butt and the slightly raised hillside are no longer in shape now.

Ling Jiaoyue's face was as cold as snow, and she said coldly: "Why are you talking about these meaningless concerns now? Why didn't you show any mercy when you were doing it?"

“The atmosphere is already so heated…” Lu Zhan spread his hands, feeling helpless. It was really hard to stay rational at that time, not to mention that he himself was not a gentleman.

"Whatever you say." Ling Jiaoyue's tone was cold, but she couldn't help but be curious. Lu Zhan was too fierce, fierce beyond imagination. She felt it was extremely abnormal, so she asked: "Did you use the Confucian saying that what you say must be followed by what you say?"

She remembered that Lu Zhan would follow his words... According to the records of the Yunshui Sect's history books, there were many unorthodox Confucian practitioners who would apply this principle to matters like that.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Lu Zhan was so ferocious. His cultivation was high, but hers was not low either, and she had an icy body. It didn't make sense for her to be defeated so miserably.

“Hmm? Can the saying come true be used in this kind of thing?” Lu Zhan seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Yes... He is a time traveler after all, but he didn’t think of this?

The Confucian idea that one’s words must be followed by the law is indeed a bug.

Suppose he says "My Diao Chan is on my waist", can he maintain this mode before his true energy is exhausted?

Even if this mode doesn't work, then at the critical moment, using the "Words Come True" to add a fighting spirit BUFF to yourself should also work...

For example, "My power is endless" or something like that...it should be useful.

“Don’t use it recklessly.” Ling Jiaoyue instantly regretted mentioning this matter. She thought Lu Zhan secretly used the power of “Words Come True”, which was why he was so powerful. She didn’t expect that he didn’t use it.

It's so powerful even when it's not used. If it is used...how can she bear it?

Lu Zhan said seriously: "Don't worry, I don't need to use those fancy ones."

“Heh…” Ling Jiaoyue sneered. She wanted to mock him, but then she thought about it and realized that what he said was the truth. She didn’t say the mocking words and decisively changed the subject: “Have you broken through?”

"The mirror was broken by luck." Lu Zhan casually waved out a stream of true energy, which created a huge wave in the distance.

"I would also like to thank the fairy for your help. I have now broken into the peak of the mysterious realm... My body has also become stronger. At least a magical weapon like the Tianyuan Stick cannot penetrate me." Lu Zhan said with a smile.

"You don't have to thank me, we just got what we needed." Ling Jiaoyue said indifferently, but she was a little panicked in her heart.

She knew Lu Zhan's physical strength best.

He was so powerful before breaking through, and even more difficult to resist after breaking through. Ling Jiaoyue suddenly trembled.

Although she said "each takes what they need", she confessed her true feelings to Lu Zhan last night. Their relationship will not end in vain, and will even develop for a long time. This means...it will be even more difficult for her to bear in the future.

If only Jiang Ningshuang could help share the burden... Ling Jiaoyue was shocked by her own thoughts. She actually thought of her "archenemy" in such a matter.

He must have been frightened by Lu Zhan, which is why he had such a stupid idea.

But then again...she couldn't cry and faint every time. Ling Jiaoyue felt confused.

Lu Zhan knew that she was arrogant, so he didn't argue with her. He shook his head and looked at the fireball in the sky, feeling a little melancholy: "When will this little girl Queque wake up? She is our only chance to leave here."

"How does she sleep normally? It is said that divine beasts fall into a deep sleep when they are practicing, which is also related to the quality of their normal sleep. If the quality is poor, they can't sleep for long during practice." Ling Jiaoyue was also a little anxious. She wanted to go out and didn't want to stay here alone with Lu Zhan. She was afraid that Lu Zhan would make some requests again.

"...Well..." Lu Zhan pondered for a moment: "If no one calls her, she can usually sleep for several days."

Ling Jiaoyue: "..."

Ling Jiaoyue was speechless for a moment, and had no choice but to sigh: "I don't know what's going on in the outside world..."

Lu Zhan remained silent. He didn't even know how much time had passed in the outside world. In this world, time passed silently without even a trace.

Even the soul bowl of the Black Water Sect seemed to be isolated... He tried to send a message in the group, even if it was just to kill time with the street urchins, but he couldn't send it at all.

The Soul Bowl chat group that Elder Blackwater was so proud of had no signal here at all.

However, Lu Zhan could roughly judge that they had been here for at least half a month. To people outside, they might have thought they were dead.

I wonder if Jiang Jiang will be sad... Oh, Jiang Jiang is in seclusion... What about Xiao Chu and Chun Ge... Lu Zhan thought about it and felt that this matter was too bizarre.

No one expected that the fighting on the Fairy Island would happen in that way in the Treeman Valley, and no one expected that the Fire Phoenix King would set up some "mechanisms" at the bottom of the lake. It was precisely these unexpected coincidences that made them successful.

There was no hope of getting out for the time being, so Lu Zhan could only look at Ling Jiaoyue: "Do you want to clean your clothes? The water stains on your white skirt are too conspicuous."

Ling Jiaoyue glared at him fiercely and used the clothes purification spell to cleanse her clothes, but although the clothes were cleaned, the rest of her clothes could not be cleaned with the spell. She didn't even dare to move, for fear of being exposed.

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Zhan knew that she was ashamed and angry, but he had nothing to do, so he asked, "I am now the Divine Fire, and you are the Ice Essence. We complement each other. I don't know when Queque will wake up. Do you want to take advantage of this time to reach the peak of the Mysterious Realm?"

Although the two seemed to be fine and no longer as "burning with desire" as before, the power of the holy object could not be absorbed overnight. They had only merged with the holy object and had not fully absorbed it yet.

Ling Jiaoyue glared at him: "Do you want to help me practice, or do you want to... vent yourself?"

"Don't say such harsh words. We are complementary to each other," Lu Zhan looked at her face with a righteous look, "Besides, I am the one who is working hard, and you are the beneficiary. I am not proposing this idea at this time because I am just considering each other. Once we go out and you return to Yunshui Sect, you won't have such a good opportunity. Without the help of the divine fire, it will be difficult for you to refine it yourself."

"I can rely on my own strength to slowly absorb the essence of ice." Fairy Ling frowned, feeling that she could no longer compromise... Although complementary dual cultivation was the best way, she could not let Lu Zhan succeed again.

At least she couldn't let Lu Zhan succeed so easily, because she was now completely sober, not like last time when she was dominated by the ice essence.

Lu Zhan said regretfully: "It's better this way, it saves me the effort."

"You're wasting your energy?" Fairy Ling gritted her teeth and said, "You're clearly...clearly taking advantage, but you still think it's a waste of energy?"

Lu Zhan said innocently: "What else..."

Seeing his expression, Ling Jiaoyue thought about it but still didn't know how to say it. In the end, she just lowered her head and said in a whisper: "Too many..."
