If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Chapter 22: Foundation Building in One Day

As night fell, the two settled down in the forest, lit a bonfire, and rested for a while.

The remaining poison in Gu Roushuang's body had not yet been cleared, and she was leaning against a big tree to rest. Lin Shiyi was fiddling with the campfire with a serious look on his face.

"Husband...you should also rest for a while. This poisonous smoke is released by the demon spirits. It is not an ordinary poison. Even a cultivator cannot withstand it."

Gu Roushuang looked pale and spoke weakly.

Lin Shiyi turned around and looked at her, couldn't help but take a breath and said, "Madam, after what happened today, I want you to promise me one thing."

After getting married, Gu Roushuang had never seen Lin Shiyi so serious. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but wonder, "Husband, what do you want me to promise?"

Lin Shiyi squatted in front of her, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "If I am held hostage again in the future, you must not fight to the death. It is most important to take care of yourself first. Otherwise, even if I die, I will feel uneasy. How can you, a righteous genius, Fairy Hanbing, sacrifice yourself like this for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage? How can I, your husband, deal with it?"

Gu Roushuang looked at the man in front of her in surprise. She raised her hand with great effort and gently stroked Lin Shiyi's cheek with an extremely gentle look in her eyes.

"Husband...if you die, what's the point of me living alone? What righteous genius, what ice fairy, I don't care about these at all, I just want to be with you, regardless of life or death..."

After hearing Gu Roushuang's confession-like words, Lin Shiyi couldn't help but feel the turmoil in his heart.

He didn't expect that Gu Roushuang loved him so much. Although he was extremely happy, he still didn't want Gu Roushuang to get hurt because of him.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Shiyi held Gu Roushuang in his arms, put his face against hers, and said affectionately: "My wife, I know you love me deeply, and so do I. But I sincerely hope that you will not hurt yourself because of this. If I am held hostage again, you can save me if you can, but if you can't, run away. Don't put yourself in danger because of me again. Promise me, okay?"

Feeling Lin Shiyi's heavy breathing, Gu Roushuang's cheeks felt hot. She huddled in his arms and said softly, "Husband... I listen to you. I won't do this again."

Seeing this proud woman acting like a little girl in front of him, Lin Shiyi felt very satisfied. He hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and said, "Okay, my lady, I will listen to your words. If you act like this again in the future, don't blame me for punishing you according to the family rules."

Hearing the word "family rules", Gu Roushuang trembled all over and couldn't help but hit Lin Shiyi's chest with her fist.

"If you do something wrong, I...I will also punish you according to the family rules."

Gu Roushuang said with a red face.

Lin Shiyi smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, men and women are equal!"

After a night's rest, the two men were almost recovered and decided to cross the river.

After returning to the river, Lin Shiyi saw the corpses of those demon cultivators yesterday at a glance. Their cheeks were all black, they were emaciated, and they looked deader than dead.

"It seems that the poison of this demon spirit is indeed extremely powerful. Fortunately, I refined a lot of various elixirs before going down the mountain. This long-lost Yin-Yang Detoxification Pill can detoxify the world's strange poisons. The effect is really good."

Looking at the corpses, Lin Shiyi quickly checked his arms and found that there were no black spots like those on the corpses, so he felt relieved.

Gu Roushuang also looked at her arm, which was still intact and without any discomfort. Then she said with relief: "Husband, this elixir has been lost for a long time. Even if there is a recipe, it cannot be refined. How did you do it?"

"To tell you the truth, my lady, I actually add one more ingredient every time I make an elixir."

Lin Shiyi answered as he took out the magic weapon.

Gu Roushuang couldn't help but ask, "You added one more ingredient? Yes... No, you'd better not tell me. This is the alchemist's secret."

Lin Shiyi said nonchalantly: "The extra ingredient is the monk's blood."

Gu Roushuang was surprised to hear this, but Lin Shiyi fiddled with the gadget in his hand with a calm expression.

It was a toy-like boat. As he set up the formation and injected magic power into it, the boat grew bigger in the wind and quickly turned into a huge flying boat.

"Don't worry, my lady. I didn't hurt anyone else. I used my own blood."

Lin Shiyi put away the formation and looked up at the flying boat in front of him.

Gu Roushuang shook her head and said, "My husband, you shouldn't tell me such secret things. These are the top secrets of the alchemist."

At first Gu Roushuang was just curious, but after she figured it out, she didn't want Lin Shiyi to tell her. However, Lin Shiyi did not hide anything, which surprised her.

Although they are a couple, the secret of alchemy is hard to come by in the world. Lin Shiyi showed her his cards so easily. How much trust does he have in her?

"You are my wife, what can't I tell you? Be good, stop thinking about it and get on the boat!"

As he spoke, Lin Shiyi took her hand and lightly jumped onto the flying boat.

As the two of them boarded the boat, the flying boat soared into the sky and floated above the auspicious clouds. In the blink of an eye, it traveled two or three miles, as fast as a shuttle.

Lin Shiyi stood on the flying boat, feeling the whistling wind. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "It should have been done a long time ago. Master is really worrying too much and hiding his identity? It's really a waste of time..."

As he spoke, he looked at the cabin in front of him and said with a smile: "My wife, I will go into seclusion for a while and improve my cultivation. Otherwise, when we fight, you will always be the only one doing the fighting. That would be ugly."

Gu Roushuang nodded and said, "Well, go ahead. I'll stay here to watch over you."

"Okay, be careful."

After saying that, Lin Shiyi entered the cabin.

Gu Roushuang looked up at the sea of ​​clouds around her and couldn't help but look worried.

She remembered Ouyang Xuan's instructions that night.

"Roushuang, I fully support your relationship with Eleven, but there is one thing. You must get the secret of Eleven's alchemy. This kid is fickle-minded and will leave Yuntian Sword Sect sooner or later. I don't know where he will take root in the future. We in Yuntian Sword Sect must get the secret of alchemy. Of course, I am not asking you to deceive him. I just hope that you can consider the greater good for the sect."

After coming to her senses, Gu Roushuang felt uneasy.

She took out the communication symbol but hesitated to use it.

"My husband treats me so sincerely, how can I cheat him out of his alchemy method? No... I'd better not tell Master, just say that I haven't got it yet..."

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Roushuang still did not tell Ouyang Xuan.

On one side is her master Ouyang Xuan who raised her, and on the other side is Lin Shiyi who loves and trusts her. Gu Roushuang really doesn't know how to choose.

She was alone at the bow, enduring an immense struggle in her heart.

Before I knew it, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Roushuang was staring blankly at the sunset in the sky, when she saw the flying boat shaking, and then excited cheers came from the cabin.

“Hahahahahaha… I, Lin, have finally reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Lin Shiyi jumped out of the cabin, jumped in front of Gu Roushuang, picked her up and turned her around several times.

"Husband...you, you put me down..."

Gu Roushuang had never seen such intimate behavior. In her impression, couples were usually harmonious and respectful to each other, and she had never seen someone as unruly as Lin Shiyi.

Lin Shiyi hugged her and said, "No, I'm already in the foundation-building stage. I'll show you how much I've improved!"

As he said this, he ignored his wife's struggle in his arms and carried her into the cabin.
