Zhao Changhe felt that he was quite strange. He had some desire before, especially after being kissed by the fake one, he really wanted to kiss the real one.
But after holding on to this, those messy thoughts gradually disappeared. Although she was soft and fragrant, she did not arouse many lustful thoughts. Instead, I felt more peaceful.
Maybe I'm too tired.
Only Yue Hongling can bring such a sense of dependence.
Yue Hongling also felt that she was very strange. She didn't feel disgusted at all when being hugged like this. Her previous struggle failed to break free. She didn't know whether it was because of the pain in her shoulders or because she was trying to resist.
But being held like this still made him feel peaceful, as if he was in a secret cave with him completely blocked in front of him, and he felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.
Maybe he's finally tired of going through all the ups and downs in the world alone
I don’t know. But it’s really peaceful to lean on him quietly.
A rooster crowed in the distance, and the sky in the east gradually turned pale.
Its daybreak.
The man and woman who were hugging each other and standing quietly in the room finally slowly separated.
Yue Hongling turned around, gently pushed Zhao Changhe's chest away, and looked up into his eyes.
His eyes seemed to have just come back from a trance and regained clarity. Yue Hongling really didn't feel his desire, and didn't know whether he was thinking of the heroine he admired or the stubborn dream in the boy's heart.
It was as if he had only regretted it at this moment. His throat moved and he tried to kiss her.
A smile flashed in Yue Hongling's eyes, and she quickly covered his mouth: "Just hug me if you say so."
Zhao Changhe regretted so much that he wanted to cry.
Yue Hongling finally laughed out loud: "What a child."
Zhao Changhe pouted and pecked her hand that was covering her mouth. Yue Hongling withdrew her hand as if she had received an electric shock and glared at him.
Zhao Changhe did not attack, but he seemed refreshed, as if he had achieved some enlightenment. He turned around and sat at the table to pour himself some tea. "You keep talking about my child... Well, I suddenly remembered a topic we had talked about a long time ago."
Yue Hongling curled her lips, wiped her hands on the edge of her trouser legs, sat down next to him, and took the tea he had just poured and drank it: "What topic?"
"If we meet again in the martial arts world, what should I call you?"
"Isn't it Miss Yue? Or is it that she is talking nonsense behind her sister's back, to the extent that even the Demon Cult Goddess heard it?"
Zhao Changhe tilted his head to look at her and smiled, "Yes now, but if I were to answer this question again, I would change my answer."
"Um?"
"I hope that if we meet again in the future, I will call you Hong Ling."
Yue Hongling's heart suddenly jumped, but she smiled and shook her head: "Hey, did you just break through? Do you suddenly have inexplicable confidence? You're still at the fourth level anyway."
"This is not what you care about. Maybe it can be considered as a prerequisite?" Zhao Changhe said with a smile, "Then please Miss Yue protect me again."
Yue Hongling was stunned: "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Changhe took out a few pills for improving Qi and blood: "Since the four internal and external levels have been broken, the Dantian is stable, and the true Qi is vigorous. It is the time of the morning when the Qi and blood are at their peak. My external skills have always been higher than my internal skills. Now that my internal skills have reached the standard, I can continue to promote the breakthrough of external skills. At this moment, it is the fifth level."
Yue Hongling suddenly felt that this was a madman.
You were in so much pain just now, most people would be scared and would take it easy. And you just practiced dual cultivation... Well, dual cultivation is finished, and in the normal people's habitual thinking, it is already the end of the practice, and it is time to do something else.
But this guy actually started to think of a breakthrough again in his mind, and even Yue Hongling couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
He is just like a wolf that can never be fed... No wonder he is practicing at such a fast speed. But he was already so uncomfortable with the surge of blood evil before, will it happen again when he breaks through
Zhao Changhe slowly swallowed the medicine to support his blood circulation, and whispered, "No need to look so serious... I have a lot of experience with blood evil energy. I just had an attack, and now the evil energy has been released, and it is very calm. It shouldn't happen again. Last time, when Cui Wenjing and I were chatting and laughing, I broke the fourth level of external energy. The principle is similar. That time it was not long after I had an attack in the wild. This time it will feel similar."
Yue Hongling said: "I believe you won't be like before this time, but it's a bit strange. Is there something that makes you so anxious? You have only been practicing martial arts for more than half a year."
"Did you say far or near?"
"What is distance?"
"If it's far, I want to catch up with you sooner."
Yue Hongling stopped talking. The phrase "catch up with you" was full of ambiguity. She didn't know whether it was a person or a skill, but she didn't want to clarify. She thought to herself that if it was referring to a person, there might be another Cui Yuanyang...
Thinking of this, I finally felt a little awkward for the first time.
But Zhao Changhe continued: "If it's close..."
His muscles began to clench and blood evil gathered again. The ferocious murderous aura surged, and in an instant the whole room gave the illusion that it had turned into a bloody battlefield.
"… I'm about to challenge someone. Level 4 is definitely not enough, but level 5 is about right."
As soon as the words fell, blood evil condensed in the air, and the fifth level of the entrance was reached.
Yue Hongling seemed to be witnessing a miracle happening right before her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but surge with excitement. This kind of scene could really stir up the passion and blood of warriors. It was so cool...
If he wasn't one of them, Yue Hongling would have wanted to challenge him.
Zhao Changhe looked inward for a moment and smiled brightly: "The guardian I mentioned is not this breakthrough, but that challenge. Sister Yue can have some breakfast nearby, just don't let those ignorant people disturb you."
Yue Hongling felt that she could see something very interesting. She did not ask who it was, but instead asked, "Why now?"
Zhao Changhe stood up and said, "External skills are different from internal skills. Internal skills need to be accumulated after breaking through the mysterious gate, while external skills are immediate. The blood evil skill is especially different. When you just break through, the evil spirit has not faded, and your fighting power is the most crazy. What's more, I just hugged you, so my mentality is perfect."
Yue Hongling didn't bother to pay attention to the second half of his sentence: "I think there's more to it than that, right?"
"Indeed... More importantly, if I wait for two more days, he will have achieved everything, so I have to give him a little frustration... Although it may not have much to do with me, I am very upset and want to tell him that not everyone is kept in the dark. At least I can get my revenge, so please let him enjoy it."
… …
In the early morning, Yangzhou still had a somewhat chaotic atmosphere. People were in a hurry and dared not look up, for fear of being arrested as Maitreya followers. The street vendors had temporarily stopped doing business, and the streets were deserted.
Only the area around Mingyue Tower was still bustling, because the surrounding areas were all owned by the Cao Gang.
Wan Dongliu, the young leader of the Cao Gang, actively cooperated with the Demon Suppression Division in capturing the Demon Cult and purged a large number of Cao Gang members, even including high-level officials. This made the Demon Suppression Division very satisfied. With the help of this local tyrant, things became much easier.
As a result, no soldiers or officers came to disturb the canal gang's business. At this time, pedestrians were coming and going, and many canal workers were drinking porridge and eating steamed buns nearby.
Wan Dongliu sat leisurely on the top floor of Mingyue Tower and ate breakfast, entertaining Taoist Xuan Chong who had been living with him, and Tang Buqi who came to eat for free.
The three of them chatted about the assassination of the prefect and the Maitreya barbarians, and talked about Zhao Changhe's embarrassment at the dinner last night. The day was so leisurely that it seemed as if the Yangzhou Incident had nothing to do with them.
Tang Buqi also never mentioned that Maitreya Sect and the Hu people were actually slandered. He was full of indignation, cursing Maitreya Sect for being a good-for-nothing and even killing officials, and simply did not take his Tang family seriously.
"You didn't see it. It was thanks to Tang's intervention that I saved Zhao Changhe's life from the Fa Yuan Knife last night with a single move of Spring Water..."
"Then you two are even. He saved you from Batu before."
"That Batu guy, I would be fine even without him saving me. My Tang family has many secret techniques, what does he know?"
“…Yes, yes, Brother Tang is very talented.”
"Huh?" Xuan Chong suddenly pointed to the end of the long street and said with a smile: "Isn't that the protagonist we just talked about?"
Wan Dongliu turned his head and saw a big man with a heavy sword on his back emerging from the mist step by step. Wherever he passed, vendors were silent, pedestrians kept silent, and those drinking porridge carefully controlled themselves and dared not make any slurping sounds. His power and oppression were indeed amazing.
Where is the embarrassing situation at the dinner party yesterday that everyone was talking about
Tang Buqi, who had been boasting just now, shut up all of a sudden. Zhao Changhe looked obviously more powerful. It felt like if he stabbed him with his sword again this time, he would be cut in two by Zhao Changhe.
"He seems to have made some breakthroughs." Xuan Chong sighed, "This bloody and evil spirit, the nickname given by Maitreya is really correct, isn't this a living Asura?"
Wan Dongliu was a little distracted and responded casually: "Yes, it is true."
Tang Buqi poked his head out: "I don't think I saw Yue Hongling... They seemed to be together last night..."
The two looked at each other sideways. Tang Buqi acted as if he hadn't said anything and continued, "I wonder where Zhao Changhe is going so early in the morning. Is he passing by here? Do you want to invite him up to sit with you?"
Just as he was saying this, Zhao Changhe stopped at the bottom of Mingyue Tower, looked up at Wan Dongliu and the other two standing by the railing, and laughed loudly, his voice spreading down the long street: "Beimang Zhao Changhe, I formally challenge Qianlong 700,000 Wan Dongliu Brothers, please... give me some advice!"
Wan Dongliu's expression changed slightly, and the long street fell silent.
