This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

"Cough cough!..."

A look of pain flashed across her face, and she began to cough violently.

He clutched his chest, as if he were enduring some kind of pain.

“Ji Ruqing..…”

Hearing the commotion keenly, Ji Ruqing's heart tightened, and she glanced in the direction where Xiaoya had disappeared.

He snorted coldly and immediately returned to Su Yu's side.

"Qingyi, are you alright? Did that demon hurt you?"

"Don't worry, I will avenge you!"

Seeing his swaying body, Ji Ruqing carefully helped him up.

"No! I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"That demon didn't actually mean to hurt me. You don't need to worry about her, okay?"

The murderous intent in Ji Ruqing's eyes made Su Yu's heart tighten. He couldn't help but grab Ji Ruqing's sleeve, signaling him not to make any rash moves.

Seeing Su Yu's attitude, Ji Ruqing felt a sense of relief, and then he said with a gentle expression:

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Su Yu was relieved. Sure enough, it had to be Mu Qingyi.

They had fought fiercely before, but in the end, all it took was one word from Mu Qingyi for the other to behave obediently.

"But Qingyi, are you really alright?"

Su Yu looked up at Ji Ruqing, a smile flashing across her cold face.

"I'm fine, I was just affected by some demonic energy."

"Ji Ruqing, it's been a long time."

These words seemed to have struck a nerve with Ji Ruqing.

Looking at that familiar face so close to him, he felt as if he were in a dream.

Extremely complex emotions arose spontaneously.

His body trembled, and he reached out to touch that face that was unparalleled in the world, but he lowered his hand halfway up and withdrew it in fear.

It's like encountering the most precious thing in the world; you're afraid it will break or disappear if you touch it.

"Qingyi, it's been so long... I'm so glad to see you."

"You know what? I have so much to say to you, so many things to ask you, you...."

"Qingyi? What's wrong?!"

Just as Ji Ruqing was about to confide in someone, she noticed a flash of pain on Su Yu's face, and a trace of demonic energy emanated from her body.

He was greatly shocked and immediately used his spiritual power to probe into the body.

"This is... demonic energy? Why is there such a massive amount of demonic energy within your body?"

“What the hell is going on??”

Su Yu shook her head, signaling him not to get agitated.

"It's nothing, this demonic energy will dissipate soon, but I can't use too much spiritual power during this time..."

"Could you please keep me company for the next few days?"

Su Yu looked at Ji Ruqing, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

The main problem is that he is currently being tormented by the demonic thoughts that have existed for 100,000 years, and he needs time to rest and recuperate.

During this period, his strength was greatly diminished, and some of his trump cards were almost completely used up.

He desperately needs a 'protector' to shield him for a few days.

He could still trust Ji Ruqing's character.

Since he found me first, he is naturally my first choice.

At the same time, they must now avoid encountering Ye Xuan.

"Okay, of course I have no problem with that."

Ji Ruqing was secretly delighted; he had no objection to being able to stay by Qingyi's side.

"In that case, let's get out of here quickly."

"The energy barrier of Lingxiao Mountain is about to be broken, and I don't want them to discover my presence."

Although Ji Ruqing was curious about how Qingyi suddenly appeared, she didn't ask any further questions.

The most urgent thing is to do it according to her wishes.

So Ji Ruqing led Su Yufei towards a deserted area.

Before long, the energy barrier of Lingxiao Mountain was broken by Yin Xiao and a group of elders working together.

After realizing something was wrong, Yin Xiao and the other emperors had been working together to break through the energy barrier for several hours.

Ultimately, they broke through the barrier.

"go!"

The moment the energy barrier vanished, Ji Ruqing once again borrowed the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword. Azure spiritual energy enveloped the two of them, and they immediately fled into the distance...

at the same time.

A certain place in Lingxiao Mountain.

Ye Xuan emerged from a broken mountain.

At this moment, he was staggering, covered in blood, in a sorry state, and his breathing was extremely disordered.

"Cough cough, thankfully the final aftershocks were stopped, otherwise I really would have been bedridden for three to five years..."

Ye Xuan felt somewhat heavy-hearted. He was seriously injured and would not recover for a while.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Elder Wu said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm fine, but I've used up a lot of energy and need some time to recover."

"That's good." Ye Xuan felt relieved.

"It's just a bit strange. Ji Ruqing's strength is clearly about the same as mine, so why can he move freely after being possessed? He only suffered some minor injuries?"

Ye Xuan was very frustrated. After they worked together to seal Ling Xiao, Ji Ruqing left in a hurry.

He doesn't seem to be seriously injured.

He's clearly no worse than Ji Ruqing, so why is this happening?

"Because the Immortal Slayer has already fused with the second fragment. Although the fragment is not large, the Immortal Slayer baptized Ji Ruqing's sword body during the fusion process, sublimating the sword body and making it more adaptable to the power of the Immortal Slayer Sword."

"Therefore, the aftereffects that occur after he is possessed are quite minor, and he may even be possessed again, or even twice."

Ye Xuan's golden eyes suddenly narrowed. "Isn't he using a cheat code? He just possesses someone whenever he can't win?"

Even if possessing someone makes it impossible to defeat them, at least one can escape. On the way to escape, one searches for fragments of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Collect more fragments, improve cultivation, possess another body, collect more... and so on, repeating the process over and over.

In the end, Ji Ruqing reached her peak!

There's no solution to this...

"After all, that little guy has extraordinary luck, there's no need to make a fuss."

"However, relying on external forces is ultimately a minor path; only by growing stronger on your own can you find the right way," Elder Wu said calmly.

"Teacher, I understand."

"By the way, why did you block my senses from the outside world just now? Did something happen earlier?"

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Nothing happened. I only did this to make sure you were in a good situation," Old Wu sighed softly.

Given Ye Xuan's current condition, it's best to avoid any further incidents.

He has done what he could.

"Let's go, it's time to go back and heal our wounds."...

Thousands of miles away.

Ji Ruqing led Su Yu to a quiet mountain cave.

He thoroughly cleaned up the surroundings, then helped Su Yu sit on the boulder.

"Qingyi, the demonic energy within you..."

"I can clean it myself."

“Alright, I’ll protect you.” Ji Ruqing knew what he had to do, so he immediately went to the cave entrance to guard it.

"Thank you very much."

Upon seeing this, Su Yu chuckled and immediately sat cross-legged, concentrating and holding her breath.

Although he could not remove the demonic energy from his body, he could communicate with the Pure Heaven Creation Lotus to purify himself.

In his view, the most important thing was not the demonic seal in his body, but the erosion brought about by the demonic thoughts of those 100,000 years.

His soul was affected, and he experienced obvious aftereffects.

When exposed to sensitive topics, negative emotions can be amplified to an extreme, which may eventually lead to demonic possession.

However, this is not a problem for the Qingtian Creation Lotus.

Fortunately, he managed to collect four pieces of the Creation Lotus.

And so, Su Yu used the Creation Lotus to cleanse for two whole days.

Two days later.

When he opened his eyes, he found Ji Ruqing lighting a campfire, setting up a grill, and carefully grilling fresh fish...
