497: Successfully resolved
The crisis brought about by the Luan Feng Harmonious Cry Art had not disappeared, but fortunately, Zhou Luo had already had the other party take that Third-Order Spirit Pill beforehand, which repaired her Meridians.
Otherwise, if they had continued Dual Cultivation in her previous state, Shu Hongliu's Meridians and Dantian would have been instantly incinerated by the surging and vast Chunyang Qi.
As Zhou Luo fed her a Second-Order Spirit Pill, the power of the pill also helped her suppress the two clashing forces.
But this was far from enough.
Shu Hongliu's eyes were tightly shut, her brows furrowed, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
She was not Wang Yuwei; her state of mind was far less resilient than hers.
Therefore, when the two forces erupted, her consciousness had once become scattered.
Almost all subsequent actions were driven by instinct.
As for relying on her own strength to suppress them, not to mention that her Meridians and Dantian had just recovered, the two forces were incredibly vast, and even at her peak, she probably wouldn't have a good solution.
At this moment, Zhou Luo suddenly grabbed her arm, a faint light flickering in his palm, and a pure and gentle force flowed into her body through her skin.
That power was helping her suppress the out-of-control forces, and it was with the help of this power that the situation gradually stabilized.
Zhou Luo closed his eyes, feeling the power within him rapidly dissipating, all of it flowing into the other party's body.
However, he also took the opportunity to release the previously suppressed Chunyang Qi, and with the help of the Luan Feng Harmonious Cry Art, began to transform that Qi into his own power.
Time slowly flowed, and Shu Hongliu's brows gradually relaxed. The look of pain on her pale face disappeared, and her consciousness gradually returned.
In that instant just now, she felt as if she was enveloped by a quagmire, with darkness before her eyes, her whole body covered in mud, unable to breathe freely.
At that moment, how could she possibly consider the state of her body? She could only wait helplessly.
Fortunately, Zhou Luo's appearance gave her the means to resist.
Now, that Chunyang Qi was completely suppressed, and under the guidance of the Luan Feng Harmonious Cry Art, it was undergoing exchange and absorption with the power within Zhou Luo's body.
Since her body was stabilizing, the Dual Cultivation Method could continue.
Zhou Luo looked at the delicate body before him and no longer hesitated, leaning forward and beginning a new round of Dual Cultivation…
Early the next morning, the dawn light spilled into the room, and a new day arrived on time.
After a night of Dual Cultivation, the exhausted Shu Hongliu lay quietly in Zhou Luo's embrace, her head resting against his broad, warm chest, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had had a beautiful dream.
Zhou Luo held her and slowly opened his eyes.
Last night's Dual Cultivation was also extremely tiring for him, especially having to ensure that the power of the art was not too fierce, otherwise Shu Hongliu would not have been able to bear it.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly without any danger. This Dual Cultivation was incredibly successful, and the Yin and Yang Qi within the other party's body returned to a state of balance once again.
As long as they continued like this, once her Meridians recovered to normal, the Dual Cultivation would become very simple, and she would no longer have to worry about being invaded by Chunyang Qi.
Of course, this was only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. The key was still to find a way to completely suppress her Dragon Yang Body.
Regarding this, Zhou Luo had no real solution and could only see if there were other methods later.
At least for now, Shu Hongliu didn't have to worry about her Life safety.
Holding the sleeping beauty, Zhou Luo leaned down and kissed her forehead.
This action woke her up.
Shu Hongliu opened her eyes, her gaze as alluring as silk.
“Husband, you're awake?” She smiled, her mood joyful.
Being free from the shadow of Death made her whole being feel incredibly comfortable.
Moreover, last night, she had even opened the door to a new world.
At this moment, her delicate and fair face was pressed against Zhou Luo's, her head tilted up, her beautiful eyes sparkling, flowing with a faint radiance.
Zhou Luo smiled slightly, picked her up in one motion, and her soft, charming body was easily pulled onto him by his large hands.
Then, another battle ensued.
It wasn't until noon that Shu Hongliu woke up from the bed.
As for Zhou Luo, he had woken up early and didn't know where he was now.
She dressed herself and walked out of the room, heading downstairs.
“Grand Manager.”
The Shopkeeper on the second floor saw her and bowed in greeting.
“Uncle Liu, I've troubled you these past few days,” Shu Hongliu said with a smile.
These past few days, she had been busy resolving her body's issues, and the business of the shop, as well as the cooperation with the Zhou Family, had all been handled by this Old Man before her.
He was also the Shopkeeper who had followed her the longest and was deeply trusted by her.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and shook his head, “It wasn't hard work, but Grand Manager, you're finally smiling.”
As he said this, a relieved smile appeared on Shopkeeper Liu's aged face, and tears flickered in his eyes.
He had personally witnessed her difficulties, and every time he thought of her impending early Death, it caused him pain.
Seeing her like this now, it seemed her physical problems were finally resolved, which made him somewhat happy.
Shu Hongliu smiled faintly, not explaining further.
“Where is Zhou Luo?”
“Family Head Zhou said he had to go out and doesn't know where he is now,” Shopkeeper Liu replied with his head lowered.
“Alright, you can go back to your work.” Shu Hongliu nodded.
It wasn't until close to evening that Zhou Luo returned from outside.
“Husband, where did you go?”
Shu Hongliu stood before him and asked with a smile.
“Nothing much, just bought some Pill Refining Materials, so you won't have to worry about losing control during Dual Cultivation,” Zhou Luo said.
During the day, he had specifically gone into the city to look for Materials for Second-Order Pills. The purpose, of course, was to make their Dual Cultivation smoother and to reduce some of Shu Hongliu's suffering.
Now that Shu Hongliu was his woman, he naturally had to take care of her.
When Shu Hongliu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned slightly red.
Without any warning, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly, her thin lips gently kissing his.
There were no words, only the intense emotions pouring out through her actions.
At this moment, Shu Hongliu's inner softness was touched again, moved by Zhou Luo's thoughtfulness.
For the first time, she realized that she would have someone who cared about her from now on.
So at this moment, she didn't want to do anything else, only to use her body to tell him of her love.
This was the most direct and effective method.
Zhou Luo hadn't expected his actions to elicit such a strong reaction from her.
Feeling the love conveyed through her lips, he also hugged her back, giving a gentle response.
It was another night of Dual Cultivation.
And this was just the beginning.
For the next month, the two of them continued to engage in Dual Cultivation.
Under the care of Zhou Luo, a Second-Order Alchemist, Shu Hongliu's Meridians and Dantian had gradually recovered and were no longer as strained as before.
While Zhou Luo was still engaged in Dual Cultivation in Golden Cloud Immortal City, Yao Wu encountered a tricky matter in the Wan Gu Sect, which was ten thousand li away.
