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

This year she also experienced the difficulties of cultivation. At first, it took her half a month to break through a level, but now she can't even reach a small stage in half a month of normal cultivation.

Moving forward with difficulty.

Just like playing games in my previous life, leveling up becomes slower as you progress.

"What's wrong, Yuebao?"

Seeing that Ye Yueyue kept asking her questions and nodding thoughtfully from time to time, Jian Youqing was also curious. She looked at the girl with puzzled eyes and couldn't help but ask again.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to learn more about Qingbao!" Ye Yueyue smiled at her.

"Okay, okay."

She unconsciously curved her eyebrows and eyes, a smile playing on her lips.

Ye Yueyue then remembered the box that her friend had just given her. She glanced around and saw that no one was watching her.

She took it out of the storage bag and opened it.

Inside the exquisite box were three spiritual plants.

It was a gift Jian Youqing gave her when they first met: Hidden Mist Grass.

It felt as familiar as when we first met.

The crystal-clear spiritual plant, faintly visible and emitting a misty aura, releases a rich spiritual energy as soon as it is opened.

She looked up.

The first thing you see is Jian Youqing with her chin slightly raised, her expression as cute as a kitten.

She appeared calm, but Ye Yueyue noticed the corners of her mouth that she couldn't help but turn up, and the smugness in her eyes, as if she was waiting for her praise.

"Are you going to take care of me, young lady?"

Hidden Mist Grass is quite valuable because it not only contains high spiritual energy but also has no side effects, making it an invaluable item for Foundation Establishment cultivators to improve their cultivation.

The improvement is greater for cultivators with lower cultivation levels.

These three plants can help her break through a certain stage, and their value goes without saying.

"Ah."

Jian Youqing nodded, her eyes filled with even greater anticipation.

Ye Yueyue knew what she was waiting for, but faced with her expectation, she, who was usually very good at this, was actually at a loss for words.

I don't want to say anything.

She felt that any words were pale and could not compare to this sincerity.

"...I really like it, I love it so much, but compared to this gift, I still like Qingbao even more!"

Ye Yueyue leaned closer and looked at her seriously as she spoke.

She swallowed one of the plants, then closed the box with the remaining two spiritual plants and handed it back.

"Why not?" Jian Youqing asked, puzzled.

Don't you like it?

Looking into the girl's eyes, he saw an irrepressible joy in her bright eyes, a clear expression of affection, yet her actions pulled him back.

This is not a false excuse.

Jian Youqing couldn't understand it, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"Because I like Qingbao, I want you to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage first and then help me." Seeing that she wouldn't accept it, Ye Yueyue directly picked up a Hidden Mist Grass and fed it to her.

Just like feeding them delicious food normally.

"I... um." Yes.

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Yueyue interrupted her with her actions.

The entrance is filled with rich spiritual energy, which melts the Hidden Mist Grass instantly, and the spiritual energy is absorbed by the body and becomes part of the cultivation.

Jian Youqing blinked and pursed her lips. "I have one. This is for you."

"Then eat more, baby, and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible so you can travel with me?" Ye Yueyue said with a smile.

The girl looked very serious, her tone full of anticipation.

Shall we train together?

Jian Youqing hadn't thought much about this before, but at this moment, she inexplicably began to look forward to it.

It must be so much fun training with Yuebao!

As she thought about it, her eyebrows curved into a smile. Then, remembering that her father might not let her go easily, Jian Youqing frowned with some hesitation.

Fine, at worst she'd agree to her father's suggestion and take two guards with her.

No matter what, she was determined to go through trials with Yuebao!

After hesitating for a while, Jian Youqing finally convinced herself.

"Okay, but this is for Yuebao!" Jian Youqing covered her mouth and handed the box back.

“I can’t do without it!”

She spoke with utmost seriousness, pausing after each word, "Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Ye Yueyue looked up and teased.

"Otherwise...otherwise I'll get angry!"

Seeing Jian Youqing hesitate for a long time before finally uttering only these two words, and then turn her head away and pout as if she were angry, Ye Yueyue really wanted to laugh.

But fearing she might actually get angry, Ye Yueyue suppressed a smile and pretended to accept it seriously.

"Don't be angry, my dearest young lady."

"OK then."

Jian Youqing raised her chin and listened to the girl's clear voice calling her "Miss," a surge of joy welling up in her heart.

After absorbing the Hidden Mist Grass, Ye Yueyue successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Another step closer to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Soon, a vortex appeared in the cloud space.

The fluctuations caused by the momentary distortion of space were obvious, and Ye Yueyue opened her eyes upon sensing them.

She immediately stepped forward and entered without hesitation.

……

After a brief period of dizziness, she found herself in an unfamiliar space.

The surrounding environment was very dark.

A faint light shone from directly ahead. Ye Yueyue paused for a moment but still went up. There was nothing strange about the surroundings, and it was completely empty as far as the eye could see.

Following the light for a while, a door soon appeared before her.

The faint light was coming from the lamp beside the gate.

She pushed the door open forcefully, and it creaked open.

What came into view was a spacious room, with nothing around it, but a man in black standing in the middle.

The person was dressed in a black robe, with a hood covering their face, revealing only their chin. In the relatively dim and enclosed space, it was impossible to see them clearly.

Ye Yueyue glanced back, and that glance sent a chill down her spine.

Because she discovered that the door had been quietly closed at some point.

There wasn't a sound.

Ye Yueyue felt uneasy and inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine. Coupled with the dim surroundings, she couldn't help but start thinking about strange things.

She shook off her chaotic emotions and focused her attention on the man in black.

Before going up, Ye Yueyue observed her surroundings again. Apart from the way she came, there was no other exit.

In other words, the man in black in front of them is the only way to break the deadlock.

There was no turning back for her.

Ye Yueyue forced herself not to overthink, she stepped forward and tentatively spoke:

"Hello?"

After saying this, she resisted the urge to cover her eyes. She was really afraid that the person would suddenly raise their head and reveal a bloody scene from a horror movie.

hiss.

Ye Yueyue couldn't help but shudder.

Just as she was letting her thoughts wander, the man in black suddenly moved!

He suddenly leaped up, swinging his fists as he charged forward.

Ye Yueyue frowned and took a step back, dodging the attack.

However, the other party pressed forward relentlessly. Every time she took a step back, the man in black would take a step forward, launching a fierce and aggressive attack.

The force wasn't very strong, and she could handle it, but it was still very annoying.

While feeling frustrated, Ye Yueyue also breathed a sigh of relief. Once she relaxed, her mind became clear.
