In the silent night, the stars twinkled, and the moonlight poured like water over the waist of Riverflow Mountain.
In the valley, a few wild rabbits chased each other playfully.
The morning breeze blew, entangling the clouds and the wind.
Xiao Yu glanced at Bai Yue, who was lying on the ground beside him.
At this moment, Bai Yue's face was ashen, as if she had lost all vitality.
Moreover, her cultivation base had only recovered to the second layer of Body Tempering last night.
Xiao Yu's cultivation, on the other hand, had reached the eighth layer of Body Tempering.
Hearing Xiao Yu, who was already awake, Bai Yue instinctively tugged at the corner of her clothes.
It seemed that all her former glory and pride had vanished.
Bai Yue slowly stood up, her expression growing more melancholic.
Yesterday, those from the Profound Spirit Sect had actually left her to die...
Where should she go now?
What should she do...
Whether it's the Sect of Harmonious Union or the Righteous Faction, everyone is a bloodthirsty ghost!
What Righteous Path, they used to treat her with utmost respect.
Each one of them chanting about defending the Dao by eradicating demons.
Now that they see her in distress, they kick her while she's down...
And this guy, once she escapes, she will grind his bones to dust!!!
She will make sure he has no place to be buried!
Xiao Yu, while dressing, swallowed his saliva, sneering incessantly.
But seeing her in that state, he became interested.
"After all, we've been through hardships together, don't look at me like that!
Do you really think that righteous cultivators would still treat you as the Saintess of the Righteous Path seeing you like this? I may not know much about the world of immortal cultivation, but I understand human nature!
Others respected and admired you because your cultivation was high and you were a sect leader.
Now you have two choices! One, teach me immortal cultivation! As long as I'm alive, you won't fall into others' hands, or do you want more men?"
Bai Yue said nothing.
Lost in her thoughts.
Xiao Yu grinned: "The second choice is to follow me in the future! Become my puppy, my cauldron~ You choose~"
Hearing this, Bai Yue suddenly trembled all over, her expression growing more resentful: "Wishful thinking…!"
But after saying that, she just stood there in a daze.
Recalling everything from yesterday, the vivid scenes replayed in her mind.
Her brows furrowed instantly.
She, a righteous fairy, always kept herself pure.
And yet...
If word got out, how could she face the righteous faction?
Some female cultivators in the righteous faction were already dissatisfied with her being the Saintess of the Righteous Path.
Now she had ties with the Demonic Path.
If those women found out, what would become of her...
Perhaps Xiao Yu was right, she was no longer the revered Saintess of the Righteous Path.
Xiao Yu chuckled softly: "Alright, give up the thought of escaping! From now on, I'm your master! If you want to eat, behave, or else you'll be eating shit! Ha!"
With that, he took out the storage pouch he obtained yesterday and looked through it.
Inside were an inferior artifact Eagle-Claw Blade, Bliss Pill, Bewitching Incense, half a bottle of Bloodburst Pill, "Harmonious Union Technique Upper Half," "Phoenix Summoning Mantra," and eighteen Spirit Stones.
When he saw the Phoenix Summoning Mantra, his eyes lit up: "Hiss..."
Bai Yue, on the side, couldn't see anything.
Her heart was filled with extreme disgust.
An indescribable disgust!
But now she was also a bit afraid, afraid that Xiao Yu would reveal what happened between them.
As a sect leader, if it became known she had ties with the Demonic Path, she might never return to her former life.
If she ever got free, she must kill him!
Only the dead keep secrets...
Xiao Yu held the Harmonious Union Technique in his hand, studying it.
His eyes grew more serious, reading word by word.
"Utilize the other's Qi to circulate through the meridians, use their blood to connect the meridians, use their spirit to condense the essence, harmonize Yin and Yang, and let the Five Elements nurture each other!"
Xiao Yu read word by word, and the cultivation method even had illustrations.
Seeing the two little figures meditating face to face, Xiao Yu couldn't help but glance at Bai Yue.
From watching movies, it seemed normal cultivators used their own Qi to cultivate.
This Harmonious Union Technique used the other's Qi...
If he mastered this cultivation method, combined with Bai Yue's Innate Dao Body.
The cultivation speed shouldn't be slow!
Seeing Xiao Yu silent for a long time, Bai Yue grew a bit anxious: "Can you take me away... I apologize to you..."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly: "Hmm, then I'll first put you into my ancestral artifact, the Safehouse!"
Bai Yue couldn't see, and really thought it was some kind of magical artifact, thus she was taken in.
***
Xiao Yu carefully walked out of the cave.
With his eighth-layer Body Tempering, he could now step on tree branches and move swiftly.
Holding the Eagle-Claw Blade at his side, he sped with Ghost Step.
Before long, he left that mountain peak.
By now, the sky had brightened slightly, and the distant red sun slowly peeked over the horizon.
In the Judgment Chamber, Bai Yue's stomach had been growling for a long time: "Gurgle... gurgle~"
She hadn't eaten for four days.
And now she was very thirsty...
She didn't know what this Safehouse Artifact was, or if there was anything to eat.
"Can you give me something to eat... What do you want to learn? I can teach you..."
Xiao Yu looked at the berries on the tree and chuckled softly: "Do you want to eat berries?"
Bai Yue quickly replied: "I want to eat meat... Can you catch a chicken? Before meeting you, I was constantly on the run, fighting, without a grain of rice..."
Xiao Yu was momentarily speechless, this woman still wanted to eat meat?
But at this moment, Bai Yue spoke seriously: "I have the 'Nine-Revolution Spirit Mantra,' 'Jade Maiden Sword Art,' 'Five Elements Goddess Mantra,' 'Limitless Blade Art,' 'Mysterious Maiden Carefree Mantra,' 'Divine Essence Mantra,' 'Eight-Edged Wave-Devouring Ruler,' 'Heaven-Slaying Nine Strikes,' etc..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression immediately turned mocking: "Do you take me for a fool?!"
