Empress of Yaochi: Shall we learn the dual cultivation technique?

After bidding farewell to Li Jianping, Su Ming did not head toward the Scripture Pavilion.

Rather than checking records in the Scripture Pavilion, he was more accustomed to asking Uncle Meng or directly querying the System.

"System, do you have any information regarding the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede?"

[Currently organizing war pet data for the Host. Please wait patiently.]

"You’re still the reliable one."

Su Ming had been so immersed in his Cultivate earlier that he had completely overlooked this matter.

The System was very fast; although it said to wait patiently, Su Ming knew everything about the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede in just twenty seconds.

After understanding exactly what kind of war pet he had contracted, Su Ming was extremely satisfied.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable despite being so small."

As Su Ming spoke, he scratched Shen Ming on his wrist again.

"I’m also quite bold to let you wrap yourself around my wrist like this."

The data provided by the System explicitly mentioned that the tips of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede's legs had translucent siphons; once inserted into a prey's body, they could seize the prey's Lifespan.

Now that Shen Ming was wrapped around his wrist, Su Ming could have his Lifespan drained if he wasn't careful.

However, since Shen Ming had already been tamed and the two had signed a Life Contract, there was no need to worry about such things at all.

Rather than guarding against his Lifespan being drained by Shen Ming, it was better to worry about the spirit liquid in the 'chaos spirit transformation bottle' being stolen and drunk dry by this fellow.

This fellow's appetite was not small either, and Su Ming definitely needed to prioritize supplying his 'chaos spirit liquid' to the Supreme Chaos Body.

"It would be great if destiny points could be used to exchange for Materials or directly for 'chaos spirit liquid'."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he began to anticipate the System's answer.

Unfortunately, the System gave no response, clearly lacking functionality in this regard.

He gave a silent sigh and returned to his Chenyang Peak.

The small courtyard that had been destroyed by heavenly thunder had already been restored, looking no different from before.

Stepping into the courtyard, Su Ming saw Luo Ningshuang busy with Alchemy.

Having not seen her for two days, her cultivation had completely stabilized in the Transcendent Realm, and her refining of Medicinal Pills had become even more skillful.

Su Ming did not disturb her, simply watching quietly from the side as Luo Ningshuang focused with rapt attention.

Only after Luo Ningshuang finished refining the Medicinal Pills did she notice Su Ming behind her.

While processing the Medicinal Pills in her hands, she shared her discoveries from these past few days with Su Ming.

"The 'Profane Yang Fire Furnace' seems to have retained a trace of the heavenly thunder's properties after being struck by it, making the quality of the newly refined Medicinal Pills ten percent better."

As Luo Ningshuang spoke, she presented the refined Medicinal Pills to Su Ming.

On top of their original quality, these Medicinal Pills had a distinct Thunder Pattern, and the pill fragrance they emitted was also more intense than before.

"With this skill of yours, I'm afraid even those Star Realm Alchemists of the Three Saints Sect can't compare to you."

Hearing Su Ming's praise, Luo Ningshuang joyfully accepted it.

Having received the Legacy of the Jade Pool Empress, she was indeed far ahead of the local Alchemists of the Qianyuan Continent in this regard.

It was just that her current Realm was insufficient, resulting in her spiritual power being unable to support the refining of more Advanced Medicinal Pills.

"These are the spoils I got from the Three Saints Secret Realm. Pick whatever you need."

Su Ming generously handed those few storage rings to Luo Ningshuang, letting her choose freely.

Luo Ningshuang looked at the items in the storage rings with a look of surprise: "I'm afraid you've emptied out the entire Three Saints Secret Realm."

"Nonsense, I still left some things inside."

Hearing Su Ming's retort, Luo Ningshuang burst into a giggle; she could imagine that the things Su Ming left behind were definitely pitifully few.

"Oh, right." Luo Ningshuang suddenly thought of something and said, "Liu Yueru sent me a message yesterday, saying she would pay a visit the day after tomorrow."

Since the Jixia Academy Cultivation Technique in Luo Ningshuang's body had not been abolished, Liu Yueru could still use a secret method to contact her.

"Who is she?" Su Ming was completely confused regarding this Liu Yueru.

"The Palace Master of Jixia Academy," Luo Ningshuang explained patiently.

"So it's her." Only then did Su Ming show an expression of sudden realization.

The other party was clearly coming to apologize this time.

After all, Su Ming had continued to fulfill the engagement and had even brought Luo Ningshuang back to the Three Saints Sect.

How could Liu Yueru, who had done those things at Jixia Academy before, not be afraid?

Even if Luo Ningshuang could never recover her cultivation, she was still Su Ming's woman and the daughter-in-law of a Heavenly Dao Realm Supreme.

With just this layer of identity, if Luo Ningshuang wanted to seek revenge on Jixia Academy in the future, they would simply be unable to resist.

As for why she had waited until now to visit, it was because Liu Yueru had been busy collecting treasures during this time to ensure that Luo Ningshuang and Su Ming would be satisfied with her apology.

To think that the second most powerful force of the Righteous Path in the Qianyuan Continent would be so subservient and cautious in front of Su Ming.

But Li Jianping completely lacked this awareness.

In his eyes, Su Ming was still that child who could be easily manipulated.

Perhaps only when Su Ming once again crushed his hopes right in front of him would he truly recognize reality.

"The day after tomorrow... I won't have much time, so I'll leave her for you to Host."

Su Ming winked at Luo Ningshuang, giving her full authority to handle this matter.

As someone who had almost shared a bed with Su Ming, how could Luo Ningshuang not guess Su Ming's intention with such an arrangement?

It was clearly to let her settle her grudges and take her revenge.

"What if I don't handle this matter well?"

"It's fine. With me backing you up, that Liu Yueru won't be able to stir up any trouble. It's just Jixia Academy; I don't take them that seriously."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Luo Ningshuang felt reassured. She suddenly thought of something, and her pretty face turned red as she quietly leaned closer to Su Ming.

She boldly kissed Su Ming on the cheek, left a "thank you" as faint as a mosquito's hum, and turned away with a blushing face.

As for Su Ming, he was still frozen in place by Luo Ningshuang's bold action just now.

After coming back to his senses, he silently reached out to touch the spot where she had just kissed him.

A surge of excitement began to surface in his heart.

"Calm down, calm down. Not even eighteen yet, that would be illegal... A great man whose career is not yet established should have a long-term vision. She's my fiancée; she won't get away in the future..."

He cautioned himself over and over in his heart, finally suppressing that surge of excitement.

However, when he returned to his room, his eyes couldn't help but glance toward Luo Ningshuang's room.

It was just as well that Uncle Meng wasn't here; otherwise, he would definitely be hanging red lanterns at the courtyard gate.

Taking a deep breath, Su Ming walked into his room. Cultivate!

He had to ensure he had enough strength to complete the challenges left by his parents in the heaven-reaching pagoda.

Yet as soon as he closed his eyes, Su Ming could recall everything that had just happened, that sensation seemingly still lingering on his face without fading.

As for Luo Ningshuang, her situation was not much better than Su Ming's.

Being the one who took the initiative to advance their relationship, she was now in her room looking like a thoroughly cooked shrimp.

Staying within the jade pool heavenly lock, the Jade Pool Empress suddenly spoke: "I've remembered a Dual Cultivation Technique that can be practiced alongside the 'Jade Pool Golden Canon'. Are you interested in learning it?"

"Jade Pool Empress, what do you mean by that?" Hearing her words, Luo Ningshuang was both angry and annoyed.

"I just feel like you happen to need it. Is there a problem?"
