"Well, senior, last night..." Lin Qingqing said hesitantly.

Rong Zhao suddenly grabbed her hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I will be responsible for you, but you may have to wait for me for a while."

"Eh?" Lin Qingqing was petrified. What did it mean to be responsible for her? What did it mean to wait for him for a while? She just wanted to say thank you to the senior, that's all. Was it the senior's first time too?! In this case, should she also be responsible for the senior?

"Miss Lin? Miss Lin?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Rong Zhao looked at her worriedly.

"Senior, you can call me Qingqing." Lin Qingqing clenched the corner of her clothes and said softly.

"Qingqing." Rong Zhao reached out and touched Lin Qingqing's soft hair, revealing a hint of tenderness that he had never noticed.

"Thank you, senior." She mustered up the courage to say what she wanted to say to her senior.

"Thank you for what?"

Lin Qingqing thought for a moment and replied, "Various things."

He chuckled, and a dark light flashed in his eyes: "Thank you alone is not enough, I have to repay you with my body."

After a long time, Rong Zhao heard her softly reply "hmm". If it weren't for his good hearing, he would have missed her reply.

“How can I see the body and feel it?”

She said dejectedly, "My body is fine, but my eyes are still the same."

"Hmm... eyes," Rong Zhao said something with a hint of meaning, "I'm afraid it's related to the attack of the charm poison you had yesterday."

"Poison?" Lin Qingqing was confused. "But I didn't eat anything yesterday, so how could I be poisoned?"

"The poison that Qingqing was poisoned with is called the Demonic Poison "Seven Days of Wrapping". A person who is poisoned by this poison will have an attack every seven days. During an attack, the whole body becomes hot and weak, and the body is torn apart piece by piece as if pierced by thousands of arrows. The pain is unbearable until the person is almost dead. Only intercourse with others can alleviate it. However, after seven days, it will recur, and each time it is more painful and lasts longer than the last time. Unless there is an antidote for the poison, it will take seven times for the poison to be completely eradicated." Rong Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly, "So, this demon poison was contracted by Qingqing before she fell off the cliff."

Lin Qingqing's face turned pale when she heard this. This poison was so terrible that her body shuddered involuntarily. Who on earth was so vicious as to use such despicable means?

A person emerged in her mind, but how did that person do it?

Lin Qingqing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Senior, but I didn't eat anything seven days ago."

"Not only eating, but also touching can cause infection."

Contact?

Lin Qingqing carefully checked the things she had touched seven days ago. Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, and she asked hurriedly, "Senior, when you saved me, did you see a red herb in my hand?"

As soon as she finished her words, a wooden box appeared in Rong Zhao's hand in an instant, as if by magic.

"Well, seeing that you were holding it tightly, it seemed extremely precious, so I put it in a box specially used to store herbs and will keep it for you for the time being."

Lin Qingqing asked worriedly, "Did the senior touch it?"

"Nothing."

She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and told her senior her guess in a serious tone.

"The only suspicious object that was touched seven days ago was this five-flavor fire grass."

Rong Zhao casually made a magical gesture, and with a "pop" sound, the box opened automatically, and a red herb appeared in front of him.

He hadn't paid attention to it on the day the herbs were put into the box, but now he could see that the roots of this five-flavor fire grass were turning black.

"The root of this herb does have the scent of a demonic poison." Rong Zhao said slowly, and then closed the lid. "Qingqing, where did it come from?"

"It's better not to pollute your ears with such dirty stuff." Lin Qingqing said with great sorrow, but her face did not reveal any emotion.

Rong Zhao handed the jade box to her.

"In that case, we should fight back in kind."

“The seniors don’t seem to have much resistance to these things.”

"I have lived longer than you and have seen all kinds of evil. People who practice Taoism go against the will of heaven. I will not offend others unless they offend me. I will follow my heart and have a clear conscience." When Rong Zhao said this, there was a dangerous look in his eyes.

Lin Qingqing put the jade box into the storage bag and sat on the stone bed side by side with her senior.

"Senior, why don't you leave this place?"

"It's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't leave. I accidentally entered this place half a year ago. No matter which direction I walked, I would return to the starting point. This is caused by the devil. I also tried to fly with a sword, but it was all in vain."

"Then how can we break this dilemma?"

"If you want to break through this demonic barrier, you must reach the Golden Core Stage."

"Could it be that the senior is a cultivator from the world of cultivation?"

Rong Zhao gave Lin Qingqing an approving look, but unfortunately she couldn't see it.

He said calmly, "That's right. I had just formed my elixir not long ago, but was framed by a villain and forced to flee to the lower realm. I was seriously injured and fell here, and my realm fell to the foundation-building stage."

Although the senior's tone was flat, Lin Qingqing felt that his words were full of the pain of being stabbed in the back and the helplessness and despair of being trapped here.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her senior's hand. A hint of coolness came from her fingertips. The senior's palm was very big. Following his palm, her fingertips touched his slender and delicate fingers, and then she inserted them into the gap between his fingers.

Lin Qingqing's sudden action made Rong Zhao feel a little abrupt. After some inner struggle, he accepted it calmly and took the initiative to hold her fingers.

She was slightly stunned. Rong Zhao's awkward movements pleased her. With a smile on her lips, she turned her face to the side and interlocked her fingers with him.

"Senior, you are so cute." This is what Lin Qingqing thought at the moment, "I will definitely be able to convey my feelings to you, and he will definitely be able to feel the warmth between my fingers."

"Qingqing, your hands are really warm, thank you."

Instantly, Lin Qingqing's pupils dilated, and a strong emotion surged into her heart. What was this feeling? It was like the warmth of being bathed in the sun, or the coolness of swaying in the spring breeze, refreshing and wonderful.

Her realm was slightly loose, just one step away, just one step away...

Suddenly, she had a realization in her mind that something was about to strike her in the center of her consciousness.

She looked a little panicked, and her clasped hands seemed to give her some strength.

"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I'm here." Rong Zhao took out several Huiyuan Pills for restoring true energy from the storage ring, as well as a dozen magical weapons for resisting heavenly thunder and stuffed them all into Lin Qingqing's hands.

Lin Qingqing was stunned, then she laughed softly. It turned out that with him around, she felt really safe.

She took a few deep breaths and took out a foundation-building pill from her storage bag, preparing for her upcoming breakthrough into the foundation-building stage.
