145: Chapter 145 Hu Liena's defenses are breached, Su Ling's level rises again.

Su Ling took out the Medicinal Pill, pondered for a moment, then used his Soul Power to gently part Hu Liena's red lips and slipped it into her mouth. It was that simple.

After administering the antidote, Su Ling stepped out of the room. The poison she had been afflicted with wasn't particularly lethal, but the variety of toxins made it difficult for her to endure.

Once Hu Liena consumed the antidote, there shouldn't be any major issues.

Time slowly passed. One hour later!

A fragrant scent wafted towards her, giving Hu Liena a slight sensation.

"Am I not in Slaughter City?! How can there be such a fragrant smell?"

She opened her eyes abruptly and tried to sit up, but the pain in her body caused her to fall back down.

"Where is this?"

"There isn't a trace of bloodlust. Could it be that I have already left Slaughter City?"

Recalling the moment she fainted, she had sought help from Su Ling and collapsed in front of him.

Is this environment still in Slaughter City?

However, the next moment, Su Ling walked in and said, "Nana, you're awake. The poison in your body should be cleared by now. Sister Liu has already prepared some food. Come out and eat something."

"Um, Su Ling, did you... did you bring me out of Slaughter City?" Hu Liena looked at Su Ling, full of confusion.

Su Ling replied, "Nana, we are still in Slaughter City; we haven't left. Besides, I don't have the ability to take you out of Slaughter City at this moment."

"But this..."

Hu Liena looked around and continued, "But this doesn't look like Slaughter City at all."

Su Ling smiled and said, "To you, it certainly doesn't look like it. Come out and see for yourself."

Hu Liena struggled to stand up, then said, "Su Ling, thank you for saving me, and for treating and detoxifying me."

[Ding... Hu Liena's Favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest *1, yellow treasure chest *1]

[Ding... Hu Liena's Favorability is greater than or equal to 60. Does the host wish to bind?]

"Bind!" This was the day Su Ling had been waiting for.

[Ding... Binding with Goddess Hu Liena successful.]

[Bound Goddess: Hu Liena]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Favorability: 60 (Quite Favorable)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 10% of the bound Goddess's daily Cultivation effect without reducing the bound Goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Binding Skill: Charm (Passive Skill, host's personal Charm increased by 10%)]

Charm?

My Charm is already high enough; does it need to be enhanced further?

What kind of path is this making me take?

Ah...

Hu Liena still felt pain and nearly fell, but fortunately, Su Ling was right beside her to support her.

Looking up at Su Ling, Hu Liena felt unexpectedly embarrassed for a moment.

That 10% increase in Charm was already having a slight effect.

[Ding... Hu Liena's Favorability +1, obtained yellow treasure chest *1]

Seeing this, Su Ling used his healing Spirit Ability on Hu Liena again.

Once again treated, Hu Liena felt her body recovering.

Every time she received treatment from Su Ling, she was amazed. Su Ling was already so powerful, and he possessed healing abilities, and he wasn't even using his Spirit—it was simply inconceivable.

The treatment lasted for less than five minutes and ended.

"Su Ling, I feel much better."

[Ding... Hu Liena's Favorability +1, obtained yellow treasure chest *1]

"As long as you're better. For the next few days, I will treat you every morning and evening to help you recover as soon as possible," Su Ling said.

After this treatment, Hu Liena was able to walk outside.

When she saw the garden outside, she was completely bewildered. Is this still Slaughter City?

And the scene outside the garden—wasn't this a beautiful forest? It was like a paradise.

The next moment, Su Ling controlled the Formation illusion.

The scene before her eyes immediately transformed into its true appearance; Slaughter City was right outside.

"I am still in Slaughter City?" Hu Liena said.

Su Ling said, "That's right. You can actually think of this place as a small space that is extremely difficult for outsiders to discover."

"Come and eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold," Liu Erlong also walked out and said.

Su Ling controlled the Formation again to return to its previous appearance.

Hu Liena knew about illusion-type Spirit Abilities, and she even had her own Charm illusion-type Spirit Abilities, but what was before her eyes was clearly not a Spirit Ability.

"Let's go, let's go back inside," Su Ling said.

The three of them came to the small living room, where there were a few fresh, steaming dishes on the table.

Three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and one soup; every dish was extremely fresh.

Besides that, there was a fruit platter with several kinds of fresh fruit on it.

Is this supposed to be training in Slaughter City?

This wasn't training at all; it was a vacation, with a few battles on the side.

Then what about my previous life?

Thinking about her nearly one hundred days of life in Slaughter City—eating poorly, sleeping poorly, occasionally getting injured, living in constant fear.

But here, with Su Ling and Liu Erlong...

There really was no harm without comparison. At this moment, Hu Liena's defenses were completely broken.

A tear fell unconsciously, but she immediately controlled her emotions.

"Sister Liu, the food you made is so fragrant," Hu Liena praised.

"Thank you for the compliment. Sit down and eat, don't be polite. You can come and eat every day from now on," Liu Erlong said.

"Mm!" Hu Liena nodded with a smile.

Su Ling then said, "Nana, why don't you stay with us? We can look out for each other. My food supplies happen to have an extra portion for one person."

"Really, really?" Hu Liena looked at Su Ling with excitement. With her Favorability above 60, being 'Quite Favorable' was starting to subtly change her.

"Of course you can. It's not easy for everyone to come to Slaughter City; taking care of each other is the right thing to do," Su Ling said.

"That's right," Liu Erlong echoed.

"But, but I am from the Spirit Hall. Is it really okay? And my teacher..." Hu Liena was truly moved at this moment.

Su Ling said, "What does that have to do with anything? It's fine. Your teacher isn't here. When we leave Slaughter City, if you and we don't mention it, who would know?"

"Besides, apart from the three of us, can anyone else get out of here?"

"When we leave Slaughter City, it will be hard for us to have any intersection anyway."

"It's just that when your teacher wants to kill us, you can just plead for us."

Su Ling spoke as if he were joking, just saying it casually.

"Oh my, Su Ling, why are you saying this right now? Eat first, or it will get cold," Liu Erlong interjected.

"Right, right, eat first. After eating, we'll see once Nana's injuries are healed. You have injuries now, so don't go anywhere; just rest in the room," Su Ling said.

[Ding... Hu Liena's Favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest *1, yellow treasure chest *1]

Hu Liena enjoyed this meal very much, even feeling a warmth that she couldn't get anywhere else.

After eating, she seemed to want to help Liu Erlong wash the dishes, but she was injured, so how could Liu Erlong let her move?

Sitting in the living room, Hu Liena felt moved.

After cleaning the kitchen, Liu Erlong came out and saw Hu Liena sitting there, so she said, "Su Ling, for these next few days, you should set up a tent outside and move out of the living room."

Her intention was actually quite clear: she didn't want Hu Liena to think she was living with Su Ling.

When Hu Liena was unconscious, she had specifically tidied up.

The bedroom was full of her things, and Su Ling's things had been put away.

Su Ling only realized this point now.

Liu Erlong was trying to help him.

If she found out about his relationship with Liu Erlong, it would definitely make Hu Liena resistant.

As expected of a Goddess with Favorability reaching 100, everything was done with Su Ling's interests in mind.

Su Ling said, "That's certainly fine, if you don't mind the living room being small, Nana."

"Then let's just move the table outside and eat out there. After all, there are only the three of us here."

"I will partition the inside; the living room will be an independent space. There's no problem putting a single bed in it," Su Ling said.

The living room was about eight square meters. After partitioning the passage to the kitchen and bathroom, there were still five or six square meters. Putting down a 1.2 by 2-meter bed left plenty of space.

"Sister Liu, Su Ling, will this affect you?" Hu Liena asked.

"It's fine, it won't affect us!" Liu Erlong said.

"Actually, I've been wanting to kick Su Ling out of this room for a long time. Now the room belongs to us two women; it's much more convenient," Liu Erlong said with a smile.

"Then, then alright, I'll stay for now," Hu Liena said.

She really didn't want to live in the environment of Slaughter City anymore. Although she had experienced countless difficulties and various trials since she was young, people love beautiful things, and she was no exception.

Just as Su Ling said earlier.

What does it matter if it's in Slaughter City?

Who would know after leaving?

Even if Su Ling and Liu Erlong mentioned it, who would believe them?

Furthermore, she had to get along well with Su Ling and Liu Erlong.

Although getting out of Slaughter City mainly depended on her own strength, the current situation was that if she offended these two, she would definitely not be able to get out.

Right, I am just biding my time, playing along... once I get out, I will cut ties with them.

Clearly, Hu Liena had convinced herself.

After eating, Su Ling got to work. He had quite a lot of things in his spirit tool, and in a short while, he had partitioned an independent small room.

After making the bed, Hu Liena was very satisfied.

Over the next few days, Su Ling treated Hu Liena twice a day.

When Su Ling and Liu Erlong went to Slaughter City, Hu Liena went with them.

On the sixth day after Hu Liena moved in, after Su Ling's last treatment, Hu Liena's injuries were completely healed.

During these six days, Hu Liena's Favorability increased by 3 points, and Su Ling obtained a total of one white treasure chest and two yellow treasure chests.

Thus, Hu Liena's Favorability had reached 67 points.

"Nana, your body has recovered!" Su Ling said.

"Thank you!" Hu Liena responded to Su Ling with a smile, but her Favorability did not increase; Hu Liena's Favorability increase seemed to have become difficult again.

"Next, just continue to live here. When the time comes, the three of us will go to the Hell Slaughter Arena together," Su Ling said.

"Mm!" Hu Liena did not refuse. She had thought things through over these past few days and calmly accepted everything.

"Then you continue to Cultivate, I won't disturb you." Su Ling walked out of the room.

Today's trip to the Hell Slaughter Arena was over.

By now, they had been in Slaughter City for over a hundred days.

Su Ling had achieved forty-nine victories, Liu Erlong fifty, and Hu Liena's winning streak was much lower, and because of her injury, she only had twenty-two.

In just over three months, this was definitely not a small amount; it might be much better than her in the novel's plot during the same period.

After Su Ling came out, he entered the tent.

He took a look at his panel in the System.

Host: Su Ling

Age: 23

Spirit: Primordial War Bow

Soul Power: Level 78

Spirit: Level 95

spirit ring: Yellow (10,320 years, Water attribute), Yellow (10,652 years, Wood attribute), Purple (11,358 years, Fire attribute), Black (30,086 years, Gold-Earth attribute), Black (45,680 years, Wind-Thunder dual attribute), Black (60,188 years, Light attribute), Black (70,523 years, Wind, Thunder, Time, Space, Darkness, Evil, Strength)

[Remaining unopened special treasure chests: low-grade blue *110, Intermediate blue *9, high-grade blue *1]

During this period, more than forty battles allowed him to constantly hone his movement techniques, finally allowing him to successfully raise Carefree Metamorphosis to the Realm of Perfection and comprehend the skill Heaven and Earth Carefree.

Besides that, there was the acquisition of treasure chests. Hu Liena basically obtained white treasure chests and yellow treasure chests, and occasionally a purple treasure chest.

Purple, black, and red treasure chests had increased quite a bit.

However, this came to an abrupt end after Hu Liena arrived, as he and Liu Erlong were sleeping in separate beds.

Su Ling knew Liu Erlong meant well, but Liu Erlong didn't know that he could obtain treasure chests by being with her, so Su Ling temporarily did not have intimate interactions with Liu Erlong.

"Phew... It's been over a hundred days since I came to Slaughter City, and I've been Cultivating for over a hundred days. My Soul Power has been stuck at Level 78 for a long time. Adding the previous accumulated days, it's estimated to be over five months, so it's time for me to make progress."

"System, give me all the Goddess Cultivation effects." Su Ling spoke.

Immediately after, System energy was injected into his body.

Su Ling immediately began to Cultivate.

Suddenly, Su Ling's Soul Power surged, and its fluctuation immediately attracted the attention of Liu Erlong and Hu Liena.

Both of them walked out of the room at the same time.

"Su Ling, he?" Hu Liena revealed an expression of amazement.

Liu Erlong said, "Su Ling has had a Breakthrough. He is now at Level 79, and it seems he hasn't stopped yet."

"Level 79? Doesn't that mean Brother Su is about to become a Spirit Douluo? This Cultivation speed... is, too fast."

"Yes, it is a bit fast! But other than Cultivating fast and moving fast, this kid is not fast at all in other places where he should be slow!" Liu Erlong sighed.

"Ah, Sister Liu, what do you mean by 'not fast at all in other places where he should be slow'?" Hu Liena asked, full of confusion.

Liu Erlong smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know in the future."

"Oh!" Hu Liena still didn't understand what Liu Erlong meant, and why did she have to wait until the future to know? Couldn't she know now?

The two of them stood outside watching Su Ling Cultivate.

After more than an hour, Su Ling's Soul Power fluctuated again, even more strongly than the last time.

"Brat, breaking through two levels in one day, you really are something," Liu Erlong said.

Hu Liena.

She felt a bit hopeless; how could someone Cultivate so fast?

If you were in the low-level stages of Spirit Master and Spirit Grandmaster, it would be one thing to have an Opportunity to break through two levels in a day, but this is Level 78 to Level 80.

"Sigh..." Thinking of this, Hu Liena sighed.

"What's wrong?" Liu Erlong asked curiously.

Hu Liena said, "It's a pity that in Slaughter City, one cannot obtain spirit rings, otherwise, Su Ling would definitely be able to become a Spirit Douluo very quickly. It's such a pity."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Su Ling in the tent spoke up: "Sister Liu, Nana, I won't go to the Hell Slaughter Arena recently. I will absorb a spirit ring and advance to Spirit Douluo first."
