“Swish!”
The night is silent.
The round beads embedded on top of an unguarded arrow tower on the inner city wall suddenly emitted a dazzling red light!
This red light is invisible to the naked eye.
Even if it shines on my body, I won't feel anything.
But for the souls, it has terrifying destructive power, enough to tear their bodies apart and make them die!
at this time.
Luo Qingzhou is using it to practice!
"Close your eyes, recite the formula silently, activate your soul power, and guard the spiritual platform..."
A white figure stood not far away giving instructions.
The red figure stood shoulder to shoulder with her, watching silently.
The red light instantly enveloped Luo Qingzhou's whole body, and then, a terrible pain suddenly came from his entire soul!
"Card!"
Many cracks suddenly appeared all over his body, and it shattered into pieces!
At the same time, the red light seemed to turn into millions of knives, piercing deep into his soul and began to cut his soul with force, as if cutting it into pieces!
Severe pain comes!
He opened his mouth wide and almost fainted from the pain.
He immediately clenched his teeth, recited the incantation silently, kept his mind clear, and held the pair of red stockings tightly in his hands.
Soon, the entire soul was torn into pieces and shattered!
Only the two hands tightly clasping the red stockings remained intact.
The broken body, under the continuous attack and cutting of the red light, began to slowly dissipate around like smoke.
Once they are allowed to drift away and separated by a certain distance, the entire soul will completely disappear!
Luo Qingzhou immediately activated the last soul power in his spirit platform, silently chanted the mantra, and guarded the last soul in the center.
At the same time, the stockings in both hands began to sparkle.
The broken soul that was about to scatter suddenly gathered together like smoke, and then slowly merged.
Soon, they gathered together again and became a complete soul.
“Swish!”
But the red light bursting out from the red round bead on the top of the arrow tower increased its power again!
Luo Qingzhou's soul, which had just been condensed, was torn into pieces again.
This time, the pain was still excruciating!
His entire shattered soul began to tremble violently. He clutched the red stockings tightly in his hands, clenched his teeth, and tried his best to maintain the last bit of clarity in his mind!
The broken body slowly dispersed like smoke blown away by the wind.
Then, under his desperate persistence, they slowly closed, merged, and condensed together again.
When his soul was cut and shattered for the third time, the severe pain suddenly hit him. He finally couldn't bear this terrible pain anymore. He bit the red stocking in his hand into his mouth. Then his whole body trembled. He bit the stocking tightly, and with the last bit of clarity and strength, he tried his best to hold on...
pain!
The pain is so severe!
The soul was torn apart, cut, chopped into pieces, and repeatedly tempered and ravaged by the terrifying red light...
"Senior sister, he bit my socks."
The red figure not far away turned his head and looked at the moon-white figure beside him. His face was hidden in the red halo, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "That was my personal belonging. He held it tightly in his hand and bit it tightly in his mouth between life and death. Are you jealous?"
The white figure looked at the figure who was suffering great pain in the red light. After a moment of silence, Fang said calmly, "Are you willing to call him brother now?"
The red figure said, "Of course. In this world, the strong are respected. I didn't want to do it before because I couldn't see that he would become a strong man. Now... of course I am willing."
The moon-white figure didn't say anything else.
The red figure also looked at the shattered figure biting her stockings painfully, and said, "He has a strong will, a strong heart, and so many secrets. He is definitely not an ordinary person. I'm afraid it will not be as simple as soaring into the sky in the future. Senior sister, have you ever considered... killing his wife and taking her place? If you don't form a Taoist partner with him before he takes off, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity in the future."
The Yuebai figure couldn't help but turn around and look at her.
The face was hidden in the moonlight, and the expression on it could not be seen clearly.
"Senior sister, do you think what I said is right?"
The red figure raised his lips slightly, "Those who do great things don't care about small details. You just saw me calling you brother so naturally and kindly. This is the mentality and attitude that must be possessed to do great things. Senior sister should learn from me. Senior sister is determined to become an immortal and cultivate to the great way. Why should I care about a mere flesh and innocence?"
The Yuebai figure turned her head and continued to look at the figure who was painfully tempering his soul, and ignored her.
The red figure was silent for a while, then looked at the figure and said, "It's a pity that I have never seen his appearance or true body, so I don't know his identity. Otherwise, I can help you and make his wife leave quietly or die. Senior sister, I know you can't do it, tell me his true identity, and I will help you."
The moon-white figure remained silent.
The red figure looked at her and said, "It seems that you two really just met by chance, and you don't know his true identity. The fluorescence on his body is a little strange, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as hiding his appearance and identity... Senior sister, this man has a lot of secrets. If you don't have time, or don't want to care too much, you can hand him over to me. I will take him back and train him well, and I will definitely help you dig out more of his secrets."
"Senior sister, since you are silent, that means you have tacitly agreed. When he finishes his training, he will be at his weakest. At that time, I will take him away directly, call him brother a few times, and then let him see my true identity. Haha, believe him..."
The moon-white figure suddenly spoke calmly: "If you don't want to be embarrassed, if you still want to continue practicing, then shut up."
The red figure narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Are you afraid that I will snatch him away? Senior sister, I seem to hear the anger in your tone, which is really rare. Are you really tempted by worldly desires?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a while, then said, "If I say it's for your own good, would you believe me?"
"You are kidding..."
The red figure suddenly stopped talking, looked at her with flickering eyes for a while, and snorted coldly: "You don't have to be hypocritical, you just can't bear to let him go, you're just afraid that I will snatch him away."
The moon-white figure didn't say anything else.
“Swish!”
The round bead on top of the arrow tower, after emitting the fourth wave of light, seemed to have run out of energy and finally began to dim.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou, after his shattered soul had been recondensed, was so weak that he could not stand up straight.
He still had the red stocking tightly bitten in his mouth. His originally solid spirit had now turned translucent and was about to break apart at the slightest breeze.
Yuebai's figure suddenly flashed and appeared beside him, then took him away from the range of the round bead.
"Thank you...Thank you, Sister Yue."
Luo Qingzhou spat out the stockings in his mouth and held both in his hands. His body was still shaking in pain and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"That's all for today. After you go back, take a night's rest. Tomorrow morning, noon, and evening, I will continue to practice while basking in the morning sun, the scorching sun, and the sunset glow..."
The moon-white figure said in a cold voice.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her: "How many days...how many days will it take?"
The white figure was silent for a moment, then said, "At least five days."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and frowned.
The red figure said, "Brother, five days is actually very short. Many people need half a year, a year, or even longer to break through from Day Travel to Object Control. Some people don't have the opportunity and talent, and may not be able to break through in their entire lives. Brother is already very good, there's no rush."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and heard her calling him "brother" more and more smoothly and intimately. Her tone and attitude were completely different from before. He was stunned for a moment, then raised the two stockings in his hand and said, "Thank you for your spiritual silk stockings. They are really useful. Lend them to me for a few more days, and I will return them to you after I break through. Then..."
"elder brother."
The red figure interrupted him and said crisply, "I already call you brother. We are family, so let's not talk about different things. I'm giving this pair of spiritual silk stockings to you. They are made of special materials, and the flesh can touch and see them. But when the soul is brought out, they become nothingness, and cannot be seen or touched by mortal eyes. In addition to allowing the soul to condense quickly, they also have strong defensive power. Moreover, carrying them on your body can conceal the aura of the soul, making it difficult for others to discover you and unable to see through your true cultivation. Brother, just accept them."
Seeing her say this, Luo Qingzhou couldn't refuse her kindness. He thought that the socks were her personal belongings. Since he was holding them in his hands and had just bitten them, he thought she wouldn't want them even if he gave them back to her. He had no choice but to accept them and said, "Thank you."
The red figure hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, you can call me Xiaoyue from now on. Senior sister is Dayue, and I am Xiaoyue."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her again, and said with a cupped hand: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyue."
The red figure's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Brother, you're welcome. Um... where do you live? Brother is so weak now, let me take you home."
Although Luo Qingzhou was weak, he was not confused. His mind remained clear. He refused directly after hearing this: "No, I can go back by myself."
After that, he bowed to the two of them and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'll tell you stories tomorrow night."
The moon-white figure did not respond.
The red figure didn't force it anymore and said with a smile: "Well, brother, go slowly on the way. Xiaoyue will wait for you here tomorrow night."
Luo Qingzhou turned and left.
He did not fly directly towards the Qin Mansion, but flew in another direction, landed, and walked through the wall from the ground street.
That way, they won't be able to see it.
The red figure floated in the air. After seeing him leave, the smile on her face gradually faded: "Senior Sister, I just suddenly remembered, are you deliberately forcing me to call him brother or master, and then making it impossible for me to have that kind of relationship with him in the future?"
The moonlit figure looked into the darkness in the distance, still without saying a word.
The red figure snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, then Senior Sister looks down on me too much. Any rules are meaningless in front of me. As long as I am strong enough, I can destroy them if I want, and I will never have any psychological burden. So, even if I call him brother or master now, if I want to have a relationship with him in the future, I will still do it. Do you think I will let these worldly things restrain me?"
The night wind blows and the clouds drift away.
The moonlight shines down.
Yuebai's figure disappeared from the spot at some point without anyone noticing.
The red figure looked at the place where she had just stood. After a moment of silence, the red figure flashed and disappeared.
The palace next to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the luxuriously decorated study room with swaying red curtains, a figure in a fiery red dress got off the bed, walked to the window, and stared at the night outside in a daze for a while.
Then he returned to the table, picked up the scroll beside him and slowly unfolded it.
"The Yangtze River rolls eastward, its waves wash away all heroes. Success and failure are all in vain. The green mountains remain, the sunsets are red. The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the river bank are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of muddy wine brings joy to our reunion. So many things in the past and present, all turned into jokes..."
She looked at the opening words and read them out softly.
Then, he whispered softly: "Right and wrong, success and failure are all in vain... The green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are red again... Senior sister, you are indeed pursuing higher things, but it is too illusory... What fun is there? And what I pursue is much more exciting than you..."
"Moon Dance."
She suddenly shouted outside, "Go and call Miss Qin Er and Mr. Luo tomorrow afternoon. I want to hear their stories."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yuewu's respectful voice came from outside.
She pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Forget it, just call Mr. Luo, and Miss Qin Er will not be needed. I have something to say to Mr. Luo, and it is not appropriate if Miss Qin Er is here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yuewu went out directly and sent someone to give advance notice.
