The moon is bright and the stars are twinkling.
As the night wind blows, the lotus leaves in the lake sway, the blue waves ripple slightly, and the water sparkles, just like a starry sky.
But the most beautiful scenery here is on the attic.
Even the most powerful queen in West Lake was looking up in the water, stealing a glance at the figure in white clothes as white as snow and as light as a fairy.
When Luo Qingzhou arrived at West Lake, she was in the attic gazing at the moon and thinking.
"Sister Yue."
After waiting for a while, Luo Qingzhou finally spoke and greeted them.
The moon-white figure came back to his senses, looked at him coldly, and suddenly flew away towards the lotus bush.
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled and followed.
The two of them fell onto the green lotus leaves, one in front and one behind.
The moon-white figure said calmly: "Let's start."
Luo Qingzhou sat down cross-legged, looked at her and said, "Sister Yue, there is something I want to tell you."
The white figure in the moonlight said with a cold expression: "Speak."
Luo Qingzhou said: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will get married. Although Sister Yue and I will not meet in person, I still have to inform Sister Yue. I will bring a pot of wedding wine and wedding candy. I hope Sister Yue can accept it. It is also a token of my love for my wife and me."
The moon-white figure was silent for a while, and said lightly: "No need."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her hazy face, paused, and couldn't help but said: "Sister Yue, we have known each other for so long and are considered good friends. Why do I feel that you are still as cold as before?"
The moon-white figure didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then continued: "Sister Yue, when you helped me practice these two nights, I heard thunder above my head, and you used up your soul power to help me gather the moonlight. Will it harm your body?"
The white figure looked at him coldly and said, "Practice."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her a few more times before nodding, and slowly closed his eyes without saying anything else.
Calm your mind and concentrate, and practice your internal energy.
In the sea of dan, the soul power gradually formed a small vortex, and above the head, a trace of moonlight power poured down.
The moon-white figure stared at him quietly for a while, then like the moonlight dissipated, it disappeared from the spot.
She appeared in mid-air and turned into a transparent vortex.
The moonlight from the entire West Lake was gathered here, then scattered from the whirlpool and landed on Luo Qingzhou's head.
Luo Qingzhou immediately felt a vast force of moonlight pouring down from above his head.
The vortex of soul power in his body was spinning faster and faster, and the speed of refining the moonlight was also getting faster and faster.
“Boom!”
This kind of heaven-defying practice seemed to have angered the heavens, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
A thick bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, landed on the transparent vortex, and wrapped around the moon-white figure, making a crackling sound.
But the vortex was still spinning rapidly.
Under the West Lake, in the shadow of the attic not far away, a black shadow was hiding there, watching this scene with scarlet eyes wide open, secretly saying in his heart: Fool, you sacrificed your life and suffered from lightning for him, and your soul was in pain, why didn't you tell him
“Boom!”
The second thick lightning bolt descended.
On the lotus leaf, Luo Qingzhou felt the vortex of soul power in his body spinning faster and faster, and the power of moonlight pouring down from above his head was also increasing.
Continuous and endless.
His entire soul began to glow with a layer of moon-white light, and he could vaguely see the various meridians and acupoints in his soul, which were eagerly absorbing the power tempered by the moonlight...
He is getting stronger quickly.
However, she was enduring the tremendous pain of her soul being burned by lightning.
The black shadow watched this scene silently, and the hatred and fear in his heart suddenly turned into admiration and confusion.
She had experienced a thunder tribulation and knew how terrible lightning was. It was a horrible pain that she never wanted to endure again.
But at this moment, the moon-white figure was silently enduring the severe pain while helping him gather the moonlight and practice.
"What a fool..."
She murmured in her heart, looking at the thick lightning wrapped around the silly girl in the air, she couldn't help but feel frightened.
"Isn't she afraid that her soul will be damaged and she will no longer be able to practice? Isn't she afraid that she will suddenly be unable to bear it and her soul will be scattered?"
"Why did she want to help him practice quickly in this way?"
"For his story? For the Dharma? Or is it just a ridiculous and pathetic love? But judging from her attitude towards him, it doesn't seem like love..."
"Daddy said that humans are selfish and cunning. No one likes others to be stronger than themselves, and no one wants to see others practice faster than themselves. If there is a chance, they will definitely find ways to hinder others' progress. But... why would she risk her soul being torn apart, why would she rather endure the pain of being burned by thunder to help him practice?"
"Is there something in this world that Daddy doesn't know?"
The shadow's heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
“Boom!”
Lightning flashed again, illuminating half of the West Lake.
Since she had previously set up a barrier nearby, all the thunder and lightning here would not be heard outside.
The creatures in the West Lake were pitiful. They were so scared that they huddled in the mud at the bottom of the lake, trembling.
Even she couldn't help but tremble.
This is thunder from the sky.
Almost five o'clock.
The rotating transparent vortex in the air finally slowly stopped.
Then, it disappeared.
The moon-white figure swayed slightly in the air, then flew directly to the attic and landed there.
And on the lotus leaves on the lake, the figure still had his eyes closed, refining the surging moonlight power in his body.
Another stick of incense passed.
He slowly exhaled a long breath of white air and opened his eyes.
"Sister Yue?"
He did not see the moon-white figure, so he stood up and looked around. His eyes then fell on the attic not far away and then flew up.
The black shadow looked at his figure, and the previous thoughts in his mind were completely annihilated.
She was scared.
Not afraid of him, but afraid of her.
She had silently given so much to him, how could he allow a demon like her to touch him? If she knew, she would probably drain all the blood out of her body.
"But… "
"That boy has a body of thunder spirit. If I don't rely on him for my thunder tribulation, if I fail again, I will be crippled at best and die at worst..."
"What should I do?"
"If I can't seduce him secretly, then I'll do it openly. I'll go and beg her first. If she doesn't agree, then I'll go and beg him. At worst, I can give him some benefits and make him help me willingly..."
The black shadow thought secretly in his heart, raised his eyes and looked up at the attic.
"Sister Yue, what's wrong with you?"
When Luo Qingzhou arrived at the attic, a moon-white figure was standing on the eaves of the attic. The moon-white light on his body became unusually dim and was still flickering slightly, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.
"It's okay, you can go back."
The moon-white figure said faintly,
Luo Qingzhou looked at her back and said, "Sister Yue, were you injured while helping me practice just now?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, then said, "No."
When Luo Qingzhou was about to ask again, her figure suddenly dissipated like moonlight and disappeared.
"Sister Yue!"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up, but did not see her.
He stayed in the attic for a while, then his figure flashed, flew into the air, and left the West Lake.
Returning home, his soul returned to his body.
He immediately took out the message and sent a message to Sister Yue: Sister Yue, are you okay
After a while, the sender replied.
Sister Yue: It’s okay
Luo Qingzhou: I saw that you were not in good condition just now. Is it because of the lightning? Did the lightning hit you
Sister Yue: No
Luo Qingzhou: Sister Yue, please don't lie. Can you tell me the truth? I don't want to get hurt because you help me practice. If that happens, I will feel very uncomfortable. I would rather not have your help.
Sister Yue: Go to sleep, don’t go out these few days, spend more time with your bride
Luo Qingzhou looked at the message, stunned for a while, and replied: Sister Yue, are you helping me practice like this because you know I want to practice to save her
Sister Yue: No
Luo Qingzhou: Why is that
After waiting for a long time, there was no reply to the message.
Luo Qingzhou held the jade and looked at the message on it. He stayed on the bed for a long time. Then he sighed, put away the jade, and stared blankly at the top of his head.
He will never forget the kindness Sister Yue has shown him.
No matter what happens in the future, he will always stand by her side.
He wouldn't let anyone bully her.
No matter how powerful her sect is, no matter how strong the enemies are, he must protect her and never let her suffer any injustice!
I thought about it for a while.
The night outside the window has gradually faded away.
Thinking that he had to get up early the next day, he cleared his mind of all the messy thoughts, closed his eyes, held the little rabbit, leaned over and kissed it a few more times, and then he quickly fell asleep.
The night passed quickly.
The morning sun slowly peeked out from the green hills in the east.
The golden sunlight soon filled the courtyard.
While Luo Qingzhou was still dreaming, Qiu'er came and knocked on the door.
Xiaodie walked into the room quickly, pushed him awake, and urged him with a joyful face: "Sir, Sister Qiu'er is here. She said that you and the second young lady will go to see the master and the mistress this morning to discuss the marriage. You should get up quickly."
Luo Qingzhou woke up immediately.
Xiaodie hurriedly helped him to put on his clothes and shoes, then brush his teeth and wash up, and helped her comb her hair, with a happy smile on her face all the time.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and teased, "Xiao Die, shouldn't you be sad? After the young master gets married, he won't be yours alone. Maybe he will even have to ask the second young lady to sleep with you."
Xiaodie pouted and said, "I should be happy. That way, you won't have to hold my... that thing to sleep every night."
Luo Qingzhou looked at himself in the bronze mirror, then suddenly turned around and hugged her, then lowered his head and took a bite of her, saying, "Xiaodie, don't you like it?"
"Ah, it hurts, you are too strong..."
Xiaodie stepped back, pouting with a blushing face.
When Luo Qingzhou was about to tease her, Qiu'er said in the courtyard: "Son-in-law, the young lady is still waiting for you to go and call the eldest young lady together."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Luo Qingzhou's face suddenly disappeared.
Xiaodie was also surprised and asked, "Are you still bringing the young lady along? Then... then the young lady..."
Luo Qingzhou said nothing and quickly walked out of the room.
