This time's lottery draw greatly exceeded Zhou Luo's expectations.

With this Golden Core-level heart sutra, his path of Cultivation in the future will surely be much smoother.

Just as he was still immersed in joy, Wang Yuwei had already woken up.

Seeing Zhou Luo resting with his eyes closed at this moment, she immediately picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and quickly put them on.

Standing in the darkness, she pursed her lips, unsure for a moment how to describe her current emotions.

However, one thing she could be certain of was this.

During the intimate act they had just experienced, she suddenly realized that her state of mind had indeed changed, especially when circulating the Supreme Forgetfulness Sutra; it was far smoother than usual.

Indeed, her choice was correct.

It was just that this correctness made her endure a lot and lose the most precious thing.

But for the sake of her Dao, she could understand.

At this moment, Zhou Luo also woke up from the lottery draw.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Wang Yuwei, who was already dressed, and without changing his expression, he asked with concern, "How do you feel?"

His serious, upright demeanor actually calmed Wang Yuwei's chaotic inner feelings a bit.

She replied, "There's progress, but I'm not sure if this is enough."

The Supreme Forgetfulness Sutra had indeed changed slightly.

However, Wang Yuwei couldn't guarantee whether this change would be long-lasting.

After all, this was an emotional Tribulation; how could it be overcome so easily?

Hearing this, Zhou Luo said seriously, "Then it seems you still need to cultivate frequently."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yuwei's fair face was once again tinged with a blush.

She pursed her lips, unsure for a moment how to respond.

Because she knew that what the other party said was likely true.

But did this mean she would have to do this with him frequently from now on?

Recalling the experience just now, Wang Yuwei suddenly felt a trace of fear.

If it continued like that, she would break, right?

While she was lost in thought, Zhou Luo also got dressed and put away the clean white bed.

As for the trace of crimson on the bedsheet, it was automatically ignored by both of them.

"That assassin should be gone."

After doing all this, Zhou Luo spoke slowly.

He knew very well that this kind of thing must not be rushed.

Anyway, he didn't plan on Dual Cultivation with her. If she didn't want to continue, he felt it was fine. If she did want to continue, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Mm." Wang Yuwei nodded. To change the subject, she looked at the small tower: "This should be a Spiritual Artifact, right?"

Being able to withstand the attack of a Golden Core True Person, it was undoubtedly a Spiritual Artifact.

Zhou Luo didn't intend to hide it and said truthfully, "You guessed right, this is indeed a Spiritual Artifact."

Wang Yuwei nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Everyone had their own secret trump cards; there was no need to delve deeper.

Immediately, Zhou Luo spread out his palm, his magic power flowing, condensing into a stream of light that shot towards the tower body.

Under the influence of that light, the light around the entire small tower began to converge, and it quickly reverted to its original small tower appearance.

Zhou Luo put the small tower into his storage pouch, looked at the bright sun, and then released his Divine Sense, not letting go of every corner of the surroundings, wanting to see if the assassin had left.

Clearly, the other party should have left.

Assassins of their level, if one strike failed, would choose to lie low again.

As for how long they would lie low, that would depend on whether the two of them would give them another opportunity.

However, from the current situation, the other party was unlikely to strike again.

Because the rule of the Killer Tower was that they would only strike once. If they were unsuccessful, they would send a stronger assassin three days later.

"Are we still going to the Market?"

After confirming that the other party was not present, Zhou Luo looked at Wang Yuwei and asked.

Wang Yuwei thought for a long time and finally shook her head: "Let's forget it, we'll go straight back to the Immortal City."

"Mm." Zhou Luo didn't refuse.

From then on, they were indeed not assassinated again along the way.

And regarding the matter of their union, both sides tacitly said nothing.

Just like that, they returned safely to the Zhou Residence.

Wang Yuwei said she needed to cultivate and went straight back to her room.

Zhou Luo chatted with Ye Qian for a few words, then left the Zhou Residence and went directly towards the Killer Tower's stronghold.

About a quarter of an hour later, he saw the Bearded Man who had asked him to deliver a letter before.

"Zhou Alchemist, I didn't expect you to visit. Please sit." The Bearded Man said with a smile.

Zhou Luo was not polite. After sitting down, he went straight to the point and asked, "What exactly is going on with the assassination of Wang Yuwei?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Bearded Man's smile suddenly froze, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Zhou Alchemist, how do you know about this?"

"Because I was just almost assassinated by your people." Zhou Luo told the other party about what he had just experienced.

After listening, the Bearded Man frowned, a look of solemnity appearing on his face.

"Zhou Alchemist, assassins of that level are not someone I can command."

Golden Core-level assassins were like Elders in the Killer Tower; they were not something a person in charge like him could access.

"So you must kill Wang Yuwei?"

Rather than demanding an explanation, Zhou Luo was more concerned about how the Killer Tower intended to deal with Wang Yuwei.

Although he didn't want to get involved in such matters.

But now that Wang Yuwei was pregnant, she was considered his woman.

He wanted to see if, relying on his previous relationship, he could probe the Killer Tower's intentions.

On this question, the Bearded Man also gave his answer.

"Wang Yuwei's matter is related to the higher-ups; I can't manage it."

"However, if the Killer Tower is to give up on assassinating her, it's unless she completes the mission we gave her, or stays within our surveillance range until our target is killed."

These words had probably already been told to Wang Yuwei by the Killer Tower.

Zhou Luo had roughly probed the other party's bottom line, so he asked again, "What about me? You guaranteed that I wouldn't be assassinated back then."

The Bearded Man shrugged: "I did guarantee it, but if the one who struck was from the headquarters, or from another major region, I couldn't control it."

"After all, back then, I only promised you that you wouldn't be assassinated in the area I was responsible for."

He was just a deacon and couldn't be compared with those Elders.

After getting what he wanted, Zhou Luo got up and left.

In the evening, he informed Wang Yuwei about the conversation he had with the Killer Tower during the day.

Wang Yuwei's eyes changed, and she said, "They already made this request before, but I can't stay away from the Sect forever."

"Aren't you going through an emotional Tribulation now? I think you haven't successfully completed it yet. Why don't you just stay here for now?" Zhou Luo said.

Ever since he knew that the Killer Tower didn't necessarily want to kill her completely.

The idea of Dual Cultivation with her resurfaced in Zhou Luo's mind.
