651: help?

Yao Delong suddenly sat up, pinned her down, his face wearing a hint of "regret" and "seriousness":

"Rumei, don't be hasty! Today's gains are significant; you need to properly reflect and digest them. your husband... has other 'important matters' that urgently need handling!"

"Other 'important matters'?" Liu Rumei was stunned for a moment, then saw the familiar playfulness and implication in Yao Delong's eyes, and suddenly realized!

This "important matter" was likely going to "check" the "Foundation" of other sisters again!

Instead of being angry, she giggled, casting a charming glance at him, looking exactly like a newlywed bride who was extremely understanding.

"Mm, Delong, I know. Then... you go quickly to attend to your 'important matters'."

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, deliberately emphasizing "important matters," then she softly urged:

"However... you must remember... to take care of your 'body'! Don't... overwork yourself..."

Pfft!

Just as Yao Delong reached the door of the Secret Chamber and prepared to open it, hearing Liu Rumei's last sentence full of "concern" and double meanings, he stumbled and almost tripped!

"Hahahaha!"

Behind him came Liu Rumei's silver bell-like laughter, full of triumph and mischief, echoing within the Restriction-filled Secret Chamber.

Yao Delong's face heated up. He steadied himself, waved his hand without looking back, and quickly vanished outside the Immortal Cave.

He muttered inwardly: This little enchantress! She's becoming more sensible and more flirtatious!

Carrying the "lingering warmth" left by Liu Rumei's mischievous laughter, Yao Delong quickly left Heavenly Sword Peak.

The night breeze was cool, brushing against his slightly flushed cheeks. Looking up, a bright, clear moon hung high in the sky.

The clear radiance fell, plating the rolling mountain peaks with a layer of silver frost.

"It's gotten so late without me realizing..."

Yao Delong muttered, withdrawing all his external aura, his figure like a ghost merging with the night.

He silently moved towards his last stop—Spirit Water Peak.

His first target was Luo Miaomiao's Immortal Cave. His Divine Thought, like invisible water ripples, cautiously swept over the exquisite courtyard shrouded in water mist.

"Hmm? Not here?" Yao Delong frowned slightly. "Still not back this late?"

"Looks like she's out on a mission and hasn't returned..." He felt a slight disappointment, but it was immediately filled by the next target.

Changing direction, he flew towards another more secluded Immortal Cave on the mountainside of Spirit Water Peak, where the Spiritual Qi carried a hint of chill—that was Lin Shishi's residence.

Before he left, he had used the miraculous Yin-Yang Harmony System to help this Junior Sister, who practiced frost techniques, successfully condense her Nascent Soul. He didn't know if she was currently at home stabilizing her cultivation.

In just a moment, Yao Delong's figure appeared outside Lin Shishi's Immortal Cave.

The courtyard was cold and quiet, with a few cold-resistant spiritual plants quietly stretching under the moonlight.

Inside the Immortal Cave, within the Secret Chamber.

Lin Shishi was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by visible pale blue cold Qi.

Her eyes were slightly closed, a layer of tiny ice crystals even forming on her long eyelashes. With her breathing, strands of frost Qi permeated from her body, causing the temperature of the entire Secret Chamber to plummet, covering the stone walls in a thin layer of white frost.

The cold frost aura on her was well-rounded and stable; clearly, her Early Nascent Soul Stage Realm had been thoroughly consolidated.

Just then, an extremely slight, almost imperceptible fluctuation came from the Restriction outside the Immortal Cave!

"Who?!" Lin Shishi was instantly alert! Her beautiful eyes snapped open, two flashes of icy brilliance fleeting by!

Approaching her Immortal Cave silently in the middle of the night was definitely not well-intentioned!

Her figure moved like lightning, appearing behind the door of the Immortal Cave in a flash, her jade hand grasping, cold Qi condensing in her palm.

She carefully pushed open a crack and looked out vigilantly—

Pfft!

The next moment, Lin Shishi's tense, pretty face melted like ice meeting the warm sun, and she couldn't help but let out a suppressed chuckle.

At the door of the Immortal Cave, the Senior Brother Yao who usually swept across the board at the Sect tournament and possessed an imposing manner even before Nascent Soul Elders, was currently slightly hunched over, one hand hovering in mid-air, looking like a thief about to gently knock on the door!

With that cautious, peeking appearance, where was there any trace of a Prodigy's style?

He looked exactly like a little thief preparing to steal a kiss!

"Yao... Senior Brother Yao?"

Lin Shishi suppressed her laughter and opened the door of the Immortal Cave. Moonlight spilled onto her beautiful, peerless face, which was now filled with a suppressed smile.

"What... what are you doing?"

Yao Delong was discovered, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by a thick-skinned smile.

He stood up straight and cleared his throat: "Ahem, Junior Sister Shishi, long time no see."

"I... I was just thinking of you as soon as I got back, so I specifically came to see if your Foundation is stable and solid after your Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul!"

As he spoke, he looked around the Immortal Cave as if he were inspecting something.

Lin Shishi watched his feigned seriousness and recalled his funny appearance just now. Her pretty face flushed slightly, but a touch of sweetness rose in her heart.

She quickly glanced at the quiet surroundings, confirmed there was no one else, and stepped aside:

"Senior Brother, please come in. The cold dew is heavy outside."

She led Yao Delong into the Immortal Cave, cutting off the moonlight and cold air from outside.

The interior of the Immortal Cave was simple and elegant, carrying Lin Shishi's unique ice and snow aura.

Recalling Yao Delong's words just now, Lin Shishi's pretty face couldn't help but flush red again. She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito:

"I must thank Senior Brother... for the 'Secret Technique' help that day. Shishi's cultivation has been completely stabilized..."

Yao Delong nodded in satisfaction.

He looked burningly at the Junior Sister before him who was like an ice and snow elf.

The cold moonlight shone on her through the window lattice, adding a touch of otherworldly beauty.

He went straight to the point: "Mm, it's good that it's stable. Shishi, before, Senior Brother helped you break through your Realm, and now, Senior Brother himself is stuck before the chasm of Void Refining..."

"Void Refining?!" Lin Shishi raised her head abruptly, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable shock, her red lips slightly parted.

"Senior Brother... you... are you already about to impact Void Refining?!"

"Correct," Yao Delong nodded frankly, a powerful Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage aura slightly released and then instantly retracted, carrying strong confidence.

"Your Senior Brother has now reached the Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage, but my magic power and Primordial Spirit strength still feel like they are lacking a bit of fire, not having reached the true limit... So, I've shamelessly come to seek Junior Sister Shishi's 'help'."

He deliberately emphasized the words "help," his gaze carrying deep meaning.

Lin Shishi met his burning and expectant gaze, and her heart immediately raced! How could she not understand the deeper meaning of this "help"?

Thinking of the allure of the "Secret Technique" process last time and the rapid increase in cultivation, Lin Shishi felt her cheeks burning hot, and even her small, exquisite earlobes were flushed red.

She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, her voice thin as a thread, with the pure shyness of a young girl experiencing such things for the first time:

"If... if it can help Senior Brother break through... Shishi... Shishi is naturally willing..."

That shy, reluctant-to-speak appearance was more intoxicating than the most mellow wine.
