saint of humanity

Chapter 2373 Thank you for your hard work, brother

At the deepest part of the mineral vein, Lu Ye sat cross-legged with an expressionless face, holding a few pieces of Taoist bones in each hand and refining them quickly.

Hua Ci was sitting opposite him.

After a long separation, although Lu Ye won the battle with Hua Ci, the final result was hard for him to accept.

With no other choice, he could only help her practice. She is now at the eighth level of strength, and she still has to reach the ninth level in the future. Only then can she try to advance to the Fusion Level. Naturally, the demand for Dao power is not small. If she only relies on her own practice, it is unknown how long it will take her to accumulate Dao power.

With Lu Ye's help, things would be different.

Under the effect of the life chain, Hua Ci's Dao power, which had been completely consumed by his promotion to the eighth level, was increasing rapidly.

But she was still not obedient, and from time to time she made some short and strange noises, which made Lu Ye very anxious. Finally, he could not bear it anymore, and he pounced on her to the ground like a vicious dog.

Hua Ci did not resist, but just stared at him with a smile, and said softly: "Why? My husband is such a great hero, he has no shortage of women outside, but he still uses force on his women when he comes home? Well, after all, you are my husband. Of course, I will obey you in everything."

After saying that, she stretched herself into a big character, looking as if she would never resist.

Lu Ye's passion turned cold in an instant.

He was sure that if he really used force, Hua Ci would not resist, but she would also not react at all. She was definitely capable of doing this.

If that's the case, then what's the fun in that?

"Really not!" Lu Ye had a bitter face. There were some things that he would never admit even if he was beaten to death. He would not believe Hua Ci's lies. It had been several years since the absurd incident with Su Yan. Even if Hua Ci had a dog's nose, she would not be able to smell any clues.

"Whether it was or not, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so it's not up to you to say. Well, let's not talk about this. Come on, I just hope my husband won't humiliate my heroism."

Lu Ye gritted his teeth: "You are awesome!"

He reached out and pulled her up from the ground.

Hua Ci straightened her disheveled clothes and glanced at him seductively, but she couldn't hide the smile in the corner of her eyes.

"Practice!" Lu Ye said.

He decided not to argue with Hua Ci about this issue as they were not on the same level at all.

Suddenly I remembered that before I left, I was repeatedly humiliated by Hua Ci and was beaten up by her until my waist and legs were weak. How could I have forgotten this after more than ten years?

Yes, he still has Su Yuqing! Yuqing is so gentle and easy to deal with, so why should he suffer setbacks from Huaci and always suffer from a serious lack of self-confidence?

Thinking of this, Lu Ye became excited and full of anticipation.

After finishing Hua Ci’s business, he will go to Tiangang!
Just as he was fantasizing about this, Hua Ci suddenly began to tremble violently all over, and a suppressed, high-pitched sound came out of her mouth. Lu Ye was startled and looked up, only to see that she was slightly tilting her long neck, her mouth slightly open, and her cheeks flushed.

This scene... Lu Yefang's suppressed desire began to burn again.

After a long while, Hua Ci finally let out a long breath as if she was suffocating, looked at Lu Ye with seductive eyes, and said softly: "Breakthrough nine!"

The corners of Lu Ye's eyes twitched violently. He always felt that her breakthrough was a little bit unserious.

Hua Ci suddenly burst into laughter, extremely happy.

Only then did Lu Ye realize that he had been fooled by her again. The way she behaved just now was obviously intentional.

"It's really a breakthrough. I'm really lucky this time." Seeing that Lu Ye's expression was not right, Hua Ci quickly added.

The breakthrough was real, but the look just now was just an act.

The breakthrough of a Taoist monk requires some luck. During the process of polishing the Taoist bones, if the selected bones are broken, the breakthrough will not be successful, and all the Taoist power invested will be lost.

Everyone who enters the Dao will experience many failures when trying to break through, and Hua Ci is no exception. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to reach only the seventh Dao in all these years.

It took several attempts to get promoted to the eighth level.

This time, Jin Jiudao's luck was incredibly good, almost as good as Lu Ye's previous hit.

Lu Ye no longer had the heart to engage in intrigue with her. He raised his hand and touched her lower abdomen. He used his spiritual power to investigate and confirmed that there were indeed five Taoist bones in Hua Ci's body and there was nothing wrong. Only then did he feel relieved.

The unexpected breakthrough made it easier for Lu Ye to carry out his subsequent plans.

He originally planned to help Hua Ci break through the ninth level here and then store enough Taoist power for her.

Now is the perfect time to implement the previous plan.

Lu Ye continued to refine the Dao Bone, and while refining, he confirmed the problem with the Dao Pattern with Hua Ci.

What Lu Ye didn't expect was that Hua Ci made the same choice as Jiuyan, both choosing the Shenshou Dao Pattern as the foundation of Rong Dao.

As if she had seen through his confusion, Hua Ci smiled and explained, "My husband is very powerful and is fighting outside. I only need to protect myself and not cause you any trouble. Shenshou is the best choice."

Lu Ye stared at her in a daze.

These words were exactly the same as what Jiuyan had said to him before.

Lu Ye was not sure whether they had talked about this topic before, but at this moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

He reached out, held Hua Ci in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Hua Ci did not resist this time. Instead, she responded violently. However, the way she put her hands in front of her chest made Lu Ye know that it was impossible to go any further.

Damn it!
As expected, I still have to go to Tiangang to find Yuqing to relieve my depression.

Because she had just advanced to the Ninth Dao, Hua Ci was not in a hurry to break through to the Dao of Fusion even though her Dao power was overflowing. The success rate of breaking through to the Dao of Fusion at this time was not high, so she had to be cautious.

Lu Ye taught her the art of divine protection and helped her to engrave the Dao patterns.

At the same time, following Lu Ye's summons, one star after another entered the sky and walked into the mineral veins.

He still had some residual Taoist bones in his hands. Hua Ci didn't need them for the time being, and he couldn't keep them forever. He could have refined them himself, but he still decided to help other Taoists improve their strength.

It is not easy to gain Taoist power through the starry sky in Wanxiang Sea. With his help, at least there is one more opportunity to improve your strength.

One by one, the stars entered the mine and walked out after a while, but everyone had a look of excitement and surprise on their faces when they walked out.

Because they only stayed with Lu Ye for a short while, the reserves of Taoist power in their bodies were greatly improved.

After a few days, Lu Ye's Taoist bones were finally used up.

In the palace, Jiuyan's retreat ended. As soon as Lu Ye got the news, he rushed to the palace, and Hua Ci followed.

Soon he saw Jiuyan coming out of seclusion. With just one look, Lu Ye knew that she had failed to be promoted because her face was a little pale.

She obviously didn't have as good luck as Chen Wu Lei.

Or maybe it’s lack of experience.

Unlike Chen Wulei who had failed several times before, this was Jiuyan's first time to break through the fusion path. She had never dared to do so before.

Failure is normal!
When their eyes met, Jiuyan gave Lu Ye a bitter smile, looking a little dejected.

Hua Ci walked up to her and sat down beside her, holding her hand and speaking soothingly.

Lu Ye was also there to help comfort her, but it would have been fine if he didn't say anything, as Jiuyan looked even more guilty as soon as he started talking.

Hua Ci raised her eyes and glared at Lu Ye, saying simply: "Get out!"

Lu Ye blinked and walked out obediently.

However, he could see that during the years when he was away, the relationship between Hua Ci and Jiu Yan had indeed become very good, and the intimacy they showed just now could not be faked.

It was not easy to leave directly, so I could only wait outside.

After a while, the door opened and Hua Ci walked out.

"How is it?" Lu Ye asked.

The failure of this attempt to merge with the Dao must have caused some damage to Jiuyan. At least she will not be able to fight with others for a few months, because she needs to take good care of her bones and wait for the damaged Dao bones to recover before she can accumulate Dao power again.

Hua Ci sighed.

Lu Ye's heart was lifted up. After all, Jiuyan had practiced for so many years, her character should not be so fragile. It was just a failure in promotion, which was no big deal. But looking at Hua Ci's expression, it seemed that something big had happened to Jiuyan.

"Lu Ye, it's time for you to play your role!" Hua Ci turned and looked at him with a serious expression, not even calling him husband.

Lu Ye realized the seriousness of the problem and his expression became serious: "You say, I do!"

"Go in and use your strong and lonely body to comfort your sister, serve her well, and relieve the melancholy in her heart." Hua Ci talked nonsense seriously.

Lu Ye's eyes twitched when he heard this.

Hua Ci had already taken action, grabbing his shoulders and pushing him inside: "It's just that the Dao bone is damaged, don't use too much brute force, be gentle, sister can hold on, she needs you the most at this time!"

Lu Ye stumbled into the room, and the door had been closed by Hua Ci.

Hua Ci spoke loudly, and Jiuyan could hear it clearly even through the door.

When their eyes met, Jiuyan blushed immediately and lowered her head slightly.

Lu Ye, who had been feeling depressed these days because of Hua Ci's torment, suddenly became energetic when he saw this scene and felt that he was fine again!
Outside the palace, Hua Ci hummed a little tune as she hurried towards the Three Realms Island. Along the way, she met Chu Shen who was flying towards them.

"Sister-in-law, my mother failed in her attempt to break through to Rong Dao?" He looked anxious, and he got the news from somewhere. It was obvious that he was going to visit Jiuyan.

"Failed." Hua Ci nodded.

"I'll go see her." Chu Shen said anxiously.

Hua Ci stepped aside and blocked his way: "Don't go, there are people taking care of them over there, you can't help even if you go."

"Who?" Chu Shen immediately became alert, "Who is taking care of my mother?"

Hua Ci narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Your elder brother Lu Ye."

"Big brother..." Chu Shen's expression relaxed and he glanced at the palace: "Thank you for your hard work, big brother."

"Yes, yes, your brother has worked hard."

Chu Shen had no doubts: "For cultivators like us, failure in advancement is common. Every failure can help us accumulate more experience for the next success. My eldest brother has reached a high level of cultivation now, and no one can match him in the way of cultivation. I'm sure mother can learn a lot from him and will surely succeed next time!"

"That's for sure. Your elder brother will definitely teach you everything he knows and won't keep anything back!" Hua Ci nodded continuously.

"Sister-in-law, are you going back to Three Realms Island? I'll go back too. I'll come visit mother next time. I don't think mother will blame me."
