How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Ye Yueyue suppressed her worries and cooperated with him again, "Senior brother, let's do it one more time!"

"Ah."

The two figures, one in white and one in red, moved in perfect unison, remaining silent but seamlessly connecting their spells whenever they were cast.

Half an hour later...

The two breathed a sigh of relief as the Leaf-Splitter fell.

Before she could even feel happy, she saw Xu Bai frown, his face pale, and he vomit a mouthful of blood.

Ye Yueyue quickly stepped forward to support him: "Senior brother, are you alright?"

She hurriedly rummaged through the pills in her storage ring, taking out healing pills, qi-strengthening pills, and spirit-replenishing pills.

It was fed to him with perfect naturalness.

"This, eat this!"

Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then the pill fell into his mouth and melted.

He wanted to say it was no use, but before he could open his mouth, he was fed another one, and the words were stuck in his throat.

I could vaguely feel the warmth of those fingertips.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked away: "That's enough."

"But you still look very uncomfortable."

His lips were pale and bloodless, and the way his eyelashes drooped made him look more vulnerable than usual, creating a contrast that made people want to protect him.

"Were you injured before?" The girl pursed her lips, her worry evident in her eyes.

Xu Bai didn't speak, he just shook his head.

His handsome face was as perfect as if it had been sculpted. The sunlight shone on him, and even though he was so close, there was a unique sense of distance between him and the person.

It's as if they're detached from the world.

"Senior brother, this...!"

The girl suddenly smiled and walked over lightly.

Xu Bai looked up, but before he could speak, his mouth was blocked again.

He was stunned. The warm touch on his lips had not yet faded when he followed the girl's slender white fingertips to meet her earnest eyes.

Her clear eyes reflected her own image.

"Senior brother, are you feeling any better?" she asked softly.

Only then did Xu Bai feel the pure spiritual energy in his body. He swallowed the spiritual plant, and the cool, refreshing taste melted in his mouth.

The internal injuries caused by forcibly breaking the formation were brushed away by the pure energy, flowing through the meridians, and the discomfort gradually disappeared.

"This is... Ice Spirit Grass?"

These kinds of spiritual plants are extremely rare and have a very good effect on special spiritual roots, but rarity means high price.

"Hmm, how are you feeling, senior brother?"

The girl looked him up and down, and asked somewhat nervously.

Those bright eyes were fixed on me; she was worried about me.

"Alright." Xu Bai paused, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He didn't understand why the girl was so kind to him after only meeting him twice.

Most people would retreat immediately upon encountering danger, but she was different. Not only did she not leave, she risked everything to fight alongside him, and even brought out rare spiritual plants...

It had nothing to do with her, and she knew nothing about it.

Xu Bai never believed in kindness without a reason. People in this world only do things for a profit. Apart from his master, no one else would treat him so well.

"That's good!"

Upon receiving the answer, the girl smiled, her bright face captivating.

She stood up and patted her clothes, creating a distance between them, and the faint fragrance lingering in her breath dissipated.

Xu Bai turned his head to look at her, "Thank you."

The voice was cold and detached, containing only two brief words, as if spoken casually.

He wasn't a talkative person, nor would he make any promises intentionally, and he took today's events to heart.

"You're welcome. I'm happy to help you!"

Ye Yueyue rested her chin on her hands, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "Senior brother is so kind, he must have saved a lot of people, right? I really thought I was going to fall into the hands of the Rakshasa Palace..."

The girl's gaze was very serious:

"It might not mean much to my senior brother, but back then... you were my god!"

Her tone was filled with admiration, and her voice grew softer and softer towards the end. She averted her gaze, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.

Before Xu Bai could speak, a delighted voice from not far away interrupted him.

"Brother!"

Li Xingye walked over, glanced at Ye Yueyue standing to the side, and said with a smile, "The big boss is here too. With Senior Brother's help, everything is indeed alright!"

Hehe, this whole thing is thanks to him.

"Hey? Why aren't you two saying anything?"

Li Xingye glanced at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that something was off.

He knew his senior's personality; he wouldn't utter a word for a long time. But why wasn't the big shot saying anything either? The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Had something happened?

He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Li Xingye didn't dwell on this question for too long. He knew he wouldn't get the answer by asking, but he would observe secretly.

"Where is Senior Sister Ruoyun?"

Xu Bai remained silent.

Ye Yueyue thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I met you there before... but we separated when I was being chased by the Rakshasa Palace."

“That’s the territory of the demon beasts. Senior Sister shouldn’t be there anymore. She left even earlier than me.” She pointed to the ridge behind her, the land where the Green Bone Bears lived.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion arose in front of him.

The three exchanged a glance and walked forward in tacit agreement.

Xu Bai caught a glimpse of the girl behind him, who seemed to be deep in thought, and subconsciously slowed his pace.

"Qingxin Pool!"

"What a rich aroma!"

"...The opportunities in this secret realm are truly amazing; my cultivation level, which had been stuck for several years, has finally loosened."

As the three approached, they heard the cultivators' exclamations of surprise.

What appeared before them was a fairy pool shrouded in a light mist, as if in a dream.

Several spirit-gathering trees grow around the Qingxin Pond. As soon as you get close, you are greeted by a rich spiritual energy, which also seems to have a purifying effect.

Ye Yueyue felt her mind had become much clearer, and her cultivation, which had been stable at perfection after the breakthrough, was also loosening.

"Senior brothers and junior brothers!"

A surprised voice rang out, and the three looked up to see Ruoyun.

"You guys are here too?"

Ruoyun walked over, her face beaming with joy, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Ye Yueyue.

The awkwardness lasted only a moment, and she concealed it very well.

"That's great! Senior Sister Ruoyun, you're alright too. Quick, quick, let's go in too!"

Li Xingye smiled excitedly, beckoned to everyone, and stepped into the Qingxin Pool first.

Ye Yueyue noticed her unease and said, "I'm sorry..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ruoyun walked into the Qingxin Pond.

Never mind, I'll talk about it later.

Ye Yueyue could understand; if it were her, she wouldn't be happy either, since she was the one who ruined her chance.

With that thought, she put it out of her mind and happily stepped into the Tranquil Heart Pool. A spiritual energy several times stronger than before swept over her and filled her surroundings.

The spiritual energy rushed into his body, breaking through the shackles and directly entering the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Ye Yueyue felt completely relaxed. She slowly exhaled, scooped up some water and played with it, a look of enjoyment spreading across her face.

How can I describe this feeling of exhilaration? It's like the exhilarating feeling of diving headfirst into a swimming pool on a hot day.

Ye Yueyue felt that all the suffering she had endured was worth it.

Who says adventure is bad?

This is great!

Xu Bai sensed the fluctuation and opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is the girl's blushing face, clear water droplets splashing up and slowly sliding down her white neck and clothes.

The red dress made her skin appear even whiter, as if she were glowing.

The wet clothes clung to the girl's body, revealing her delicate curves.
