Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 264 Longing for You 4

She stepped forward and called out to him, "Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu."

When Xiang Liu saw scenes from his childhood, his life in the slave deathmatch arena, he was unconsciously moved by the emotions and empathized with the characters.

He had to fight desperately every day just to survive, his wounds healed only to be reopened again, as if he would never stop.

Seeing that he was still immersed in it and couldn't get out, Li You had no choice but to take his hand and transfer a stream of demonic energy into his body.

When the demonic energy collided with his spiritual power, Xiang Liu felt his body churning. He instinctively resisted and opened his eyes.

When he realized that it was Li You in front of him, she was still holding his hand. He looked down at her.

"What just happened to me?"

Li You released his hand: "You're lost in your own world, probably immersed in your painful or regretful memories. I just woke you up."

"Was it an illusion created by the fog just now?"

"Hmm, are you alright?"

Xiang Liu shook his head, his eyes gradually returning to normal: "Let's go, I want to see what's inside."

She nodded and walked forward. Xiang Liu looked at her, somewhat curious: "Are you also trapped in an illusion?"

Li You nodded and said casually, "Yeah, I just woke up a little faster than you."

"What emotion are you feeling?" Xiang Liu asked.

She stopped and looked at him. Xiang Liu met her eyes, but saw no emotion in them, only indifference.

He heard Li You's voice: "Loneliness and boredom!"

After hearing this, Xiang Liu lowered his eyelashes and looked away: "What I feel is pain and no hope."

Li You thought of his past experiences: "You have unlimited potential now, don't dwell on the past."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward. Xiang Liu watched her straight back, and she had a kind of indifference that transcended the mundane world.

He had just followed when he saw Li You's figure falling down. He instinctively stepped forward to grab her.

Unfortunately, he fell too fast and couldn't catch it: "Li You!"

His voice carried a tension he himself was unaware of.

Fortunately, her voice came from below: "I'm fine, there's no danger down there."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liu slowly withdrew his hand and stood in the same spot as her, letting his body fall.

Upon reaching the bottom, Xiang Liu saw Li You standing there. He calmed himself down and walked over.

"Why did you suddenly go down there? Did you find anything?"

Li You pointed to the vortex in front of her: "I don't sense any danger, but there seems to be a power overflowing from here."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liu looked over and began to carefully sense it as well.

After a long pause, he spoke, "It seems like spiritual energy, but it also seems a little different!"

Li You nodded: "Let's take a closer look." She said, and started to walk forward.

She had only taken one step when her arm was grabbed. Xiang Liu pulled her along and said, "I don't know what's going on inside, let me handle this!"

She didn't sense any danger inside, so she didn't refuse his offer and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Xiang Liu released his grip on her arm and stepped forward.

He stopped when he was just a step away from the whirlpool.

As soon as he got close to that power, he felt very comfortable. After standing there for a while, he stepped back.

Looking at Li You, he said, "I feel the power inside is drawing me closer, but I don't feel it's harmful to me."

“This vortex looks like we can get in. Let’s go in and take a look,” Li You suggested.

Xiang Liu thought for a moment and nodded: "Be careful inside."

"Well, let's go!"

They walked side by side until they reached the whirlpool, where they stepped in.

As soon as they entered, a gentle force instantly enveloped them, and the spiritual energy within their bodies seemed to encounter sweet rain, desperately absorbing it.

Li You and Xiang Liu felt that their spiritual power surged in just a short while.

Their figures floated in an endless space, relaxing and letting their spiritual energy rise continuously.

They forgot the passage of time. Li You felt her cultivation level soaring, skipping directly from the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm to the late-stage and then to the Great Perfection Realm.

Only one level away from entering the Mahayana stage.

Xiang Liu also experienced a significant improvement in his cultivation.

Gradually, that power disappeared, and they returned to the outside of the vortex.

The two exchanged a glance, and Xiang Liu said, "We've encountered an opportunity."

"Okay, let's go back. Xiao Qi is probably getting anxious!" Li You was still very happy. Her cultivation had indeed improved quickly since coming to this world.

Xiang Liu turned around and casually said, "Xiao Qi seems different from you?"

“Well, he’s rather special,” Li You said casually, without going into details.

Xiang Liu didn't press further. He remembered something: "You're a demon, so you also have spiritual power?"

Li You remained calm and said, "I cultivate both spiritual and demonic arts."

"I see. At first I thought you were a demon, but I couldn't see your true form!" Xiang Liu said with a smile.

Li You nodded, her expression unchanged. Xiang Liu realized what was happening and also stopped smiling.

Once outside, they saw Xiao Qi standing there. When it saw Li You, it instinctively wanted to call out to its host, but out of the corner of its eye, it saw Xiang Liu standing next to it.

It changed its tone and said, "Sister, I can't find you all of a sudden. Are you alright?"

"It's alright, I'll tell you when we get back!" Li You said with a smile.

Xiang Liu stared at the smile on her lips, somewhat lost in thought, so she smiled too.

"Okay, let's go back first." Xiao Qi glanced at Xiang Liu.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liu withdrew his gaze and nodded, saying, "Alright, you can go back now!"

Xiao Qi and Li You went back, and Xiang Liu watched them walk away before returning to his own place.

"Host, I only found out that you are in this vicinity, and all I know is that you are not in danger. What's going on?" Xiao Qi asked hurriedly on the way.

Li You patted his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I just encountered a bit of good fortune. Look at my cultivation level."

"Wow, the host leveled up two levels directly, that seems like a good thing," Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"Well, it can be considered a blessing in disguise." She told Xiao Qi what had happened.

"Host, I still need to level up to the highest level so that you won't lose contact with me," Xiao Qi said.

"How much is left?"

"There's only one more level to go. Don't worry, it won't be long before you're done!" Xiao Qi assured her.

"Well, wait for you."

After returning home, Li You began to stabilize her cultivation.

This was quite a pleasant surprise; the lifespan in this world is long, and reaching the Mahayana stage of cultivation is not a problem.

Some time later, Li You and Xiao Qi packed up and prepared to go play in other places.

Xiang Liu, who happened to be there with the fish, paused when he saw the two about to leave, and the fish fell to the ground.

Li You looked over and thought to herself that none of the fish under the frozen lake could escape the fate of being caught by him!

"Are you leaving?" Xiang Liu asked, his expression unreadable.

Li You nodded: "Yes, I've been here for quite a while now, and I'm planning to leave."
