It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
In the center of East Lake, a small boat floats quietly on the water.
The waves hit the boat gently and the boat swayed gently.
Luo Qingzhou lay on the boat, swaying from side to side, staring in a daze at the bright moon in the night sky.
On the water next to it.
Long'er floated there, accompanying him obediently, not daring to disturb him.
a long time.
Luo Qingzhou sighed softly and still said nothing.
Long Er couldn't bear it, so she said softly, "Young Master, don't worry, I can definitely help you. How about you play with Long Er's feet for a while?"
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at her.
Long Er quickly raised a pair of slender and lovely snow-white feet in the water, stretched them in front of him, and said softly: "Young Master, play. If you don't want to move, Long Er will move..."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her calmly.
After a while.
He reached out his hand, held one of her delicate little feet, and gently stroked it, saying, "Long'er, the young master wants to ask you for a favor."
Long Er's feet trembled a little, and he said, "Sir, please speak."
Luo Qingzhou stroked her gently for a while, then said calmly: "In a month, the Jiuzhou Conference. If I am not back by then, you help me..."
"Sir, don't!"
Long Er hurriedly shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "Long Er, no, don't promise you!"
Then she said with tears in her eyes: "When the time comes, Long Er will go with you and will definitely bring you back."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else. His fingers gently stroked her smooth little feet, and the faces of those he was concerned about lingered in his mind.
"Young Master..."
"Young Master..."
Long Er called out several times before he came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't... don't touch me..."
Long Er said shyly.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, leaned over and kissed her, and said, "Are you shy after touching it for a while? If I use it like I did last time..."
Long Er blushed and pointed to the stern.
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, then suddenly sat up and looked towards the stern.
Then:"… "
Yue Yao, wearing a white dress, stood at the stern, looking at him quietly and silently.
"Pah, pah..."
At this moment, the only sound on the lake was the sound of waves hitting the boat.
“Plop!”
Long Er immediately retracted his little feet and sank to the bottom of the lake.
"Sister, Master, you two can chat. Long Er is going back to practice..."
On the boat.
Luo Qingzhou stood up stiffly, digging his toes into the bottom of the boat, lowered his head and stammered: "Sister Yue, I..."
Yue Yao had no expression on her face and said calmly, "You asked me to come here just to show me your fetish?"
"No, it's not!"
Luo Qingzhou waved his hands quickly, then immediately took out the body-identifying stone and changed the subject to talk about business: "Sister Yue, it's about cultivation. You see, my progress to the peak of the Grandmaster realm was clearly 100, but who knew it would suddenly be reset to zero like last time... This is too outrageous! Sister Yue, do you know what's going on?"
Yue Yao looked at the body identification stone in his hand.
Luo Qingzhou hurried over and stood in front of her, with the body-identifying stone extended close to her.
Yue Yao took a step back and glanced at him indifferently, seeming to be a little disgusted.
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
There was a long silence.
Yue Yao asked, "What's your body's reaction?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "Nothing special happened. The elixir that Sister Yue refined had a very obvious effect. It made my cultivation speed much faster, and I haven't absorbed it all yet. I still have the vitality of the Spirit Mineral Heart, and my spiritual fluid can be absorbed normally. But I don't know what happened. The progress has clearly reached 100, and I can start to break through the level directly, but who knew that I would have to start all over again..."
Yue Yao didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou waited quietly for a while, looked at her hopefully and said, "Sister Yue, is there still a chance to save the relationship?"
Yue Yao did not answer, but asked, "Are the other spiritual fruits ripe?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "A blue one has matured. I buried the Pluto Pearl under the roots of the small tree, and they are growing very fast. The other cyan and yellow ones are also starting to grow."
Yue Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "Continue to eat the blue one."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Sister Yue, do you not know the reason? If I don't find out the reason, it will be useless for me to eat more spiritual fruits. Every time the progress reaches 100, it will be reset to zero and I have to start over. There is still a month left, and it is too late for me."
Yue Yao looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Luo Qingzhou looked into her eyes and said, "I want to go all out. There's a problem with my physical cultivation, and I can't break through to the Martial King realm, but there's no problem with my soul cultivation. I want to take advantage of the remaining month to go to the Netherworld, practice my soul in seclusion, and strive for another breakthrough. Maybe... with the help of the Netherworld spiritual energy and the little tree, I can break through a few more levels. If that happens, we'll still have hope at the Jiuzhou Conference."
Yue Yao said calmly, "That's a good idea. But the entrance to the netherworld may be closed soon. What if you go in and can't get out?"
Luo Qingzhou clenched his fists, a look of determination appeared on his face: "We have to give it a try. This is the only way now. If my cultivation level does not improve, and the Piaomiao Immortal Sect attacks me, I will have to rely on Sister Yue and Dean Bai. You are too weak and will not be enough."
Pause.
He added in a deep voice: "Sister Yue also knows that I have a family and a baby. As long as there is a glimmer of hope to become stronger, I am willing to fight for it. Even if... I am shattered to pieces and can never come back, I am willing to do it."
Yue Yao looked at him calmly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Do you believe me?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled, looking into her deep eyes, and said, "Of course I believe it. In this world, I may not believe in anyone, but I will definitely believe in Sister Yue."
Yue Yao turned around and looked towards the dark night in the distance, saying, "Then go back and continue to cultivate your body. Eat that spiritual fruit, use your spiritual fluid and the spiritual ore heart, and try again."
Luo Qingzhou remained silent.
Yue Yao turned her head and looked at him again, saying calmly, "Unless you want to go to the Netherworld and flirt with the Ghost King and her men, or covet something from them."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Sister Yue, I didn't, I didn't want to, I am innocent!"
He was really wronged.
He is now focused on cultivation and advancement, so why would he think about those messy things
Yue Yao looked back at the dark night in the distance and said, "Then continue to practice."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her figure for a while and said, "What if after a month... I still haven't succeeded?"
Yue Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I will tell you a secret."
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this and asked, "What secret?"
Yue Yao didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou asked in confusion: "Can Sister Yue's secret make me stronger? Can it help me deal with the masters of Piao Miao Xian Zong? If not, I think..."
"Can."
Yue Yao said indifferently.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned and asked, "Really?"
Yue turned her head and looked at him, saying, "Have I ever lied to you?"
Luo Qingzhou thought about it carefully and said, "Yes."
Yue Yao’s eyes turned cold.
Luo Qingzhou immediately changed his words: "No, Sister Yue is a man of her word, honest and trustworthy, and has never lied to me."
"But… "
He was still a little hesitant.
I finally made up my mind to go to the underworld again.
Because he felt that going to the underworld was his last chance.
"There is another way."
At this time, Yue Yao suddenly said again.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, "Sister Yue, please speak quickly."
Yue Yao looked at him and said, "Sacrificing one person may help you break through to the realm of Martial King, or even advance two levels."
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this: "Sacrifice one person?"
He shook his head without any hesitation and said, "No."
Yue Yao asked, "Why not?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course not. Even if I want to advance again and break through to the Martial King realm, I will never sacrifice others."
Yue Yao was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "You haven't asked me who needs to be sacrificed."
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "No need to ask, it won't be the people from Piao Miao Xian Zong or other bad guys. If it were them, they wouldn't use the word sacrifice, and they don't have the ability to do so."
Yue Yao stared at him for a while and said, "Who do you think it could be?"
Luo Qingzhou looked into her eyes and said, "Sister Yue, you, or Xiaoyue, or Long'er, or..."
He was suddenly shocked and asked, "Uncle Master?"
The uncle master has a special physique, and has been following his footsteps to upgrade rapidly, with almost no bottlenecks. Such a heaven-defying practice method must have other shortcomings and other terrible aspects.
At the beginning, he felt that his uncle upgraded and stagnated with him, just like his appendage or parasite.
He has never been able to understand this physique.
But at this moment, he suddenly woke up.
His uncle had been nurtured by him for such a long time, and had broken through from the martial artist to the unity realm. Only his uncle had benefited from it, and although he had also benefited, it was not in terms of cultivation.
Now think about it...
Could it be that the master uncle has accumulated so much energy just to give back to him one day
"Sister Yue, is that my uncle? Her physique... is actually made for others, is that right?"
Luo Qingzhou's voice suddenly trembled.
Yue Yao looked at the changing expression on his face, was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes."
Luo Qingzhou's face turned pale: "She is bound to me, so from now on, she can only move forward with me, or retreat, or perish. Then she can also feed back all her cultivation to me, so that I can continue to become stronger, and she..."
"Sister Yue, can she not give it to me?"
Fear suddenly arose in his heart, a fear, heartache, and guilt he had never experienced before.
My uncle should have known this a long time ago.
Every time the uncle took the initiative to seek him out for training, asked him to help her break through, and was electrocuted by him, in fact... it was all for him.
Yue Yao looked at him and said, "If you can successfully break through to Yang Shen or Wu Shen, she won't have to give it to you. But if you get stuck at the bottleneck of breaking through Yang Shen or Wu Shen, she... will automatically transfer all her cultivation and everything to you. No one can stop it, unless her physique breaks the connection with you, or you die."
Luo Qingzhou asked quickly: "How can her physique cut off the connection with me?"
Yue Yao shook her head slightly: "She has already chosen you. With her physique, she can only choose one person in her lifetime. It cannot be changed or terminated. Unless she destroys her cultivation and physique."
Luo Qingzhou looked unhappy and was silent for a long time before saying, "Sister Yue just said that she would automatically give me all her cultivation and everything she has. What does everything include?"
Yue Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "At that time, both the body and the soul will be transformed into energy and integrated into your body."
Luo Qingzhou's body trembled.
"Just like when we were at the border, Sister Yue dismembered her soul and transformed it into my energy, right?"
Yue Yao looked towards the darkness in the distance and did not answer.
The lake fell into silence.
After a long time.
Luo Qingzhou said, "Then I will listen to Sister Yue and go back to practice. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will try again."
"As for Uncle Master..."
He paused, and said, "No matter what the situation is, no matter when, I will never let her sacrifice herself. If that day really comes, I would rather... commit suicide."
Yue Yao's expression was dazed for a moment, still looking at the dark night in the distance, and said indifferently: "Whatever you want."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her cold profile, his lips moved, wanting to say a few intimate words, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything.
"Sister Yue, I'm going to practice..."
Seeing that there was still no response from the other party, he looked at her a few more times before turning around, flying into the sky and disappearing into the night.
“Patta…Patta…”
The night wind blew the waves, gently hitting the boat.
Yueyao stood at the stern for a long time, then lowered her head slightly and murmured in a low voice: "Although... you are very fickle and have obscene habits..."
"But, you are really... good..."
At this time, Long Er suddenly emerged from the water, and said with a touching face: "Sister, the young master is really good. He would rather sacrifice himself than sacrifice others... Also, Long Er thinks that it is normal for the young master to like feet. Some men like girls' breasts, some men like girls' legs, and some men like other parts of girls. The feet that the young master likes are actually not obscene compared to others."
"Also, Long Er, I heard that the laws of various countries have regulations that if a published book describes too much about a girl's breasts, legs, buttocks, etc., it is illegal and will be censored. But if it describes a girl's feet, it will be fine."
"So, from a legal point of view, your hobbies are not obscene at all."
"Perhaps the young master is forced by these rules to only like girls' feet..."
"Oh, by the way, sister, when will you show me your feet? I will definitely fall for you once I take a look..."
Luo Qingzhou returned to the palace.
After talking with the queen for a while and playing with the little guy for a while, I went underground.
There is still a month left.
Success or failure depends on this one move!
