The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Just before the red bean's life force was extinguished, the pseudo-spiritual root that had been tightly binding the blue pearl actively severed the passage.

Luo Qingcheng opened her eyes and saw Hongdou's old, loose eyelids slowly covering her eyes.

As Red Bean paused breathing.

Luo Qingcheng felt a tightness in his chest.

A bittersweet feeling welled up from the depths of my heart.

"Isn't it?"

Wasn't she just protecting Hongdou?

How come Hongdou died peacefully in front of her now?

Is she dreaming?

The next second, Blue Pearl, having lost her source of power, was unable to resist the might of the black lightning, which struck Luo Qingcheng, who was still in a daze.

As excruciating pain struck, Luo Qingcheng was prepared to lose half of his body again, but he found that the black lightning was surprisingly weak.

And the color has also become lighter.

At first glance, it looks similar to Zi Lei.

She reflexively bared her teeth and drew lightning into every part of her body.

My mind was still pondering why the lightning tribulation was so much weaker, but once I got used to it, it felt almost like being tickled.

With a muffled boom, the Heavenly Dao seemed to sense Luo Qingcheng's thoughts and issued a warning.

"Seriously? I can't even think about it in my heart? Even the Heavenly Dao isn't that domineering, is it?"

"Pooh!"

When the purple lightning showed signs of turning black, Luo Qingcheng wisely restrained his thoughts and focused on overcoming the tribulation, no longer thinking about any other miscellaneous things.

The weakened purple lightning could no longer threaten Luo Qingcheng.

As expected, the golden core was successfully formed, and a round, plump golden core appeared in Luo Qingcheng's dantian.

The thunderclouds gradually dissipated, revealing the clear sky that had been obscured. The darkness turned into brightness, and light once again took over the earth.

Streams of sweet rain, representing the tribulation of lightning, fell, nourishing the parts of Luo Qingcheng's body that were still not fully repaired.

Luo Qingcheng rushed to Hongdou's side, picked her up, and used his spiritual power to create vines. He then used the vines and leaves to cover the entire area covered by the rain, catching all the raindrops.

Once the gift from Heaven had completely ended, Luo Qingcheng hurriedly collected all the sweet dew from the vine leaves, carefully pinched the leaves, and fed them to Hongdou.

At the same time, she called out softly, "Red Bean, it's dawn, why aren't you up? How can you sleep at your age?"

After the tribulation ended, the few people who had been watching from afar all came over and surrounded the two of them.

Mo Nianqing couldn't hold back her tears when she saw Hongdou's appearance, and she was now silently weeping in Mo Wangqing's arms.

Hearing Luo Qingcheng's words, she thought that she couldn't accept the fact that Hongdou had left and was deceiving herself. She choked up and couldn't speak, so she turned around and wiped all her snot and tears on Mo Wangqing's chest.

Never Forget Love: ...

Without hesitation, he dumped her.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master, being old, couldn't bear to see such things and couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Young disciple, there's no need for that. Everyone has their own destiny, and you can't force it."

Luo Qingcheng glanced at the Tianji Pavilion Master with a puzzled look. Considering that he was an old man, and upholding the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, he explained politely, "Hongdou is fine. She was just sleeping in."

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Nianqing was overcome with grief and burst into tears.

The acting sect leader of the Seeking Immortals Sect, who had come simply to collect a debt, said impatiently, "I don't have that much time to watch your sob stories. Quickly give me that pearl to pay off the debt!"

Luo Qingcheng: You idiot!

"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

what?

Luo Qingcheng turned around and was taken aback by the previous sect leader's furious expression. "Did I just say what I was thinking?"

Mo Wangqing nodded.

Luo Qingcheng didn't care much. "I don't care who you are. You're already thinking about taking advantage of someone who's left behind before they're even dead. Do you even know who I am?"

These words stumped the acting sect leader. He wasn't a simpleton to be the acting sect leader of the number one sect. He was afraid of accidentally offending some powerful second-generation immortals before his master returned. He carefully recalled whether he had confused the faces of those powerful second-generation immortals. He searched and searched, but couldn't find Luo Qingcheng's appearance.

But he asked again, "Who are you...?"

Luo Qingcheng raised his head and said, "You bumpkin, you don't even know who I, Feng Aotian, am?"

Acting Sect Leader: ...

He had never heard of any powerful, reclusive families with the surname Feng.

He tried to ask a couple more questions, but Luo Qingcheng ignored him.

Then he called out, "Red Bean! Get up!"

He also took out a sweet cake, which cost 100 spirit stones and he bought at the Rich Inn in Wenjian City, from his still sturdy storage bag and put it next to Hongdou's nose.

"There's something delicious!"

Mo Nianqing was on the verge of fainting from crying.

She realized that her apprentice really loved to eat, so she quickly took out the storage bag she had prepared for Hongdou and handed it to Luo Qingcheng.

"This... Waaah, it's for her... Waaah, there's... so much food inside... Waaah, let's offer it all to her."

Luo Qingcheng's expression was complicated as he turned his gaze to Mo Wangqing, who not only refused to give him a formal apprenticeship gift but also forcibly accepted it.

Mo Wangqing didn't receive her signal. When she met Luo Qingcheng's gaze, she paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Go back?"

Mo Nianqing's cat-like punches to the chest silenced him.

Luo Qingcheng was also in a dilemma. She didn't know why even delicious food couldn't wake Hongdou up.

They dared not move the wounded casually.

Sigh, I guess I'll just have to stay here.

Seeing that Luo Qingcheng was determined to protect Hongdou, the other sect leaders and elders who were busy preparing for the new rules of the Immortal Sect Competition had no choice but to leave.

Before leaving, I told her with some concern that she should go back when she was almost done.

However, due to the sudden change in the format of the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, which was of great importance, the competition had to be postponed for a month.

This has sparked much discussion.

"Have you heard? The lightning punishment that occurred a month ago in the back mountain of the Immortal Seeking Sect!"

"Who doesn't know this? If it weren't for the lightning punishment, this competition wouldn't still be standing here, I'd be bored to death."

"Do you know that my third uncle's cousin's niece is an inner disciple of the Immortal Seeking Sect? I heard that the Immortal Seeking Sect has a monster that Heaven cannot tolerate locked up in the back mountain!"

"real?!"

"How can it be false?"

"Someone died trying to catch that monster!"

……

The monster, now with four heads and eight arms, human face and beast body, was channeled into Hongdou's body by Luo Qingcheng, who was imbued with wood elemental power.

The Millennium Ice Bed, generously sponsored by Mo Wangqing, is highly praised by all who have used it.

Red Bean no longer looks old; her firm, smooth skin is very alluring against the backdrop of snow and ice.

She kept nagging as she tried to wake Hongdou up, "Hongdou, how could you be so foolish? You're so timid, yet you dared to use all your life force to supply the pearl? Now look what happened, even Heaven thinks you're dead. It won't strike you with lightning. If I hadn't known you could lock your heart meridian, I would have been fooled by you too."

"Not only did you fail to advance, but you also turned into an old woman. Luckily, I have sharp eyes and recognized you."

"My cheap master said that the competition is about to begin, and one of the prizes is a second-stage pill refined by the Immortal Seeking Sect's Elder Peak True Person Taiyang. If you use it, you will wake up. I'll win that second-stage pill back for you."

Luo Qingcheng stood up.

She glanced deeply at Hongdou on the ice bed, as if she could hear the little maid saying with a grin, "Miss, this servant believes you."

Luo Qingcheng stepped out of the ice room.
