42: Chapter 42 No wonder Senior Brother Cao said I was weak; so that's the difference!
Meanwhile, in the spiritual pond in the back garden of a Personal Disciple's Immortal Cave on Baihua Peak.
Liu Rumeng was completely submerged in the water.
Her fiery red long hair was casually coiled behind her head, with a few damp strands clinging to her fair, slender neck.
The spring water just covered her proud collarbones, and the plumpness beneath the surface rose and fell with her breathing.
"I am so pissed off! I am so pissed off!"
Liu Rumeng slapped the water surface irritably, splashing a large amount of water.
The moment she thought of the scene at the Main Hall square of Lianxiang Peak during the day, she felt a tightness in her chest.
She had traveled all that way to stand up for her best friend.
And what was the result?
The couple was deeply in love, inseparable in life and death.
And she, on the contrary, had become the meddlesome villain!
"Cao Kun! You old lecher!"
Liu Rumeng gritted her teeth as she muttered this name.
"An old geezer on the verge of death, who knows what kind of shameful evil technique he used, not only becoming rejuvenated but also making Qingyue completely infatuated with him!"
"She even said such shameless words in public, like 'In life I am his person, in death I am his ghost'!"
"Qingyue is also a fool. She usually looks quite smart, so why does her intelligence drop the moment she encounters a stinky man?"
The more Liu Rumeng thought about it, the angrier she became, lifting her snow-white long leg to kick the water hard.
Just at this moment.
The light curtain of the Formation in the back garden flickered.
A figure in plain white walked in slowly.
Liu Rumeng turned her head to look.
The person who arrived was none other than Leng Qingyue.
"Yo."
Liu Rumeng crossed her arms over her chest, rolled her eyes, and let out a cold, annoyed snort.
"A rare guest indeed."
"Why aren't you accompanying your Senior Brother Cao, and have time to come find me instead?"
Leng Qingyue didn't get angry upon hearing these sour words.
She knew her best friend too well.
A typical sharp tongue with a soft heart.
Drawing her sword at the square during the day was also genuinely out of concern that she was being deceived.
Leng Qingyue stepped forward with her slender jade legs and took off her embroidered shoes.
Wading through the warm spring water, she walked straight to Liu Rumeng's side and sat down next to her.
The water rippled, and their two exquisite bodies were indistinctly close beneath the surface.
"Don't be angry anymore, Rumeng."
Leng Qingyue reached out her slender arm, linked it with Liu Rumeng's arm, and shook it gently twice.
Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of ingratiation.
Liu Rumeng turned her head, and seeing Leng Qingyue like this, she became even angrier.
She extended her fair, tender index finger and poked Leng Qingyue's forehead unceremoniously.
"How can I not be angry?"
"I originally intended to help you test that Cao Kun."
"But you!"
"Not only did you throw yourself at him, but you also protected him in front of so many people!"
The more Liu Rumeng spoke, the louder her voice became, and her chest heaved violently.
"Qingyue, can you please wake up!"
"What kind of person was that Cao Kun before? If others don't know, how could you not know?"
"His Spiritual Root was completely destroyed, and his Lifespan was nearing its end."
"He has suddenly become so young now, and his cultivation has recovered, this is absolutely not normal!"
Liu Rumeng became more and more agitated as she spoke, waving her finger forcefully in mid-air.
"He must have used some extremely vicious evil technique to deceive your mind!"
"It's not too late to pull back from the brink now. Don't wait until he drains your Origin later, and you won't even know where to cry!"
Facing Liu Rumeng's rapid-fire accusations.
Leng Qingyue did not try to defend herself but silently began to circulate her Cultivation Technique.
The next second.
The formidable pressure belonging to a Cultivator of the Late Stage Foundation Establishment was released without reservation in the spiritual spring, with Leng Qingyue at the center!
"Boom!"
The originally calm spiritual spring instantly stirred up bursts of splashes.
The white mist was directly blown away by this powerful current of Qi.
Liu Rumeng looked at her best friend, who was right in front of her, in disbelief.
The shock in her heart could hardly be greater.
"Foundation... Foundation Establishment Late Stage?!"
Liu Rumeng stood up, grabbed Leng Qingyue's wrist, and probed her Divine Sense into Leng Qingyue's body.
Spiritual Qi was abundant!
The Meridians were wide and tough!
The most crucial part was...
"Your cold poison... has completely disappeared?!"
Liu Rumeng knew Leng Qingyue's physical condition better than anyone.
That extremely cold poison which had lingered in her body for twenty years was something even Elder Yu Linglong, who was at the Late Golden Core Stage, was helpless against.
Every time it flared up, Leng Qingyue would be in agony.
But now.
Leng Qingyue's body was completely clean!
Not only that.
Her Top-grade Ice Spirit Body seemed to have been tempered to a certain extent, becoming even purer!
"This... how is this possible?"
Liu Rumeng fell back into the water, staring blankly at Leng Qingyue, feeling her worldview collapsing.
It had been less than a day?
She had broken through from the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, and also eradicated a twenty-year-old stubborn illness along the way?
"Rumeng, you believe me now, right."
Leng Qingyue held Liu Rumeng's hand in return, her gaze sincere.
"All of this is thanks to Senior Brother Cao."
"It was he who used his own Solar Essence to help me dissolve the cold poison."
"It was also he who gave me an extremely precious Medicinal Pill to help me break through the Bottleneck."
"Senior Brother Cao is not a bad person."
"He is sincere towards me."
Liu Rumeng listened to Leng Qingyue's words in a daze.
Her brain was racing.
Solar Essence?
Medicinal Pill?
Reason told her.
That old man from the Outer Sect who was once regarded as trash could not possibly possess such means.
But the facts were right in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but believe it.
Liu Rumeng tried hard to calm the shock in her heart.
That man was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
He was hiding a massive secret!
To be able to make Qingyue undergo such a earth-shattering change in just half a month.
This method could be called Heaven-Defying.
Liu Rumeng's eyes flickered.
Her original anger and disdain had now been completely replaced by curiosity.
She really wanted to know.
How on earth did that man named Cao Kun manage to do it?
What kind of person was he really?
"Qingyue..."
Before Liu Rumeng could finish speaking, she suddenly felt something strange.
She lowered her head.
She discovered that Leng Qingyue's beautiful eyes were staring unblinkingly at her chest.
There was a hint of envy in Leng Qingyue's eyes.
She looked down at herself.
Although she could be considered to have the beginnings of a figure, compared to Liu Rumeng, she was more than a magnitude behind.
No wonder Senior Brother Cao said my body is weak and cannot withstand it.
So this is the difference?
Liu Rumeng felt uncomfortable being stared at so directly by Leng Qingyue.
Her cheeks flushed red, and she subconsciously reached out to cover her chest.
"Qingyue, where are you looking!"
Liu Rumeng scolded coquettishly.
Leng Qingyue came back to her senses.
A blush also flew across her cheeks.
She suddenly stretched out both hands, scooped up a handful of warm spring water, and splashed it directly onto Liu Rumeng's face.
"Can't I look at your good figure!"
Leng Qingyue rarely showed such a charming, girlish appearance.
Liu Rumeng was splashed right in the face and wiped the water droplets off her face.
"Oh, you! Your cultivation has improved, and your courage has grown too, right!"
"Let's see how I deal with you today!"
Liu Rumeng refused to be outdone, using both hands to splash a large amount of water at Leng Qingyue.
"Ah!"
Leng Qingyue exclaimed and turned to flee.
The two stunning beauties began to play and frolic unscrupulously in the steaming spiritual spring.
Their laughter was crisp and pleasant, echoing in the back garden of the Immortal Cave.
While playing,
Liu Rumeng secretly made a decision in her heart.
She would personally go and meet that man named Cao Kun.
She wanted to see, this guy who could make Qingyue so infatuated and could produce a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill.
Just how deep his capabilities really were!
