430: The White Fox Girl's Admission of Defeat

The next day.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window into the room.

Su Yun opened his eyes.

He hadn't had much rest during this period.

Between being busy with cultivation and traveling everywhere, dozens of days had passed in total.

The long-awaited rest made him feel a hundred times more energetic.

Add to that the sparring session with Leng Xirou last night.

It made him feel even more refreshed.

“Time to get up!”

Just as Su Yun was about to get up, he suddenly felt his body wrapped by six jade-white fox tails, as if held firmly by an octopus.

A gentle smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he looked at Leng Xirou, who was still fast asleep beside him.

A faint crimson flush surfaced on her snow-white, jade-like skin, sufficient evidence of how hard she had practiced last night.

“Wake up!

Xi Rou~”

Su Yun reached out, gently shaking Leng Xirou's jade shoulder before pinching her cute cheek.

A moment later, Leng Xirou opened her eyes groggily and looked at Su Yun, a flash of heat flickering in her gaze.

She currently felt exhausted all over, her delicate body limp and soft.

Clearly, she had lost last night's sparring session again, suffering a crushing defeat just like before.

She couldn't take it.

She really couldn't take it!

She had thought those few secret techniques she hadn't used before would be effective.

In the end, she was still utterly routed!

“Well? Didn't you say yesterday you were going to beat me?”

Su Yun looked at Leng Xirou with a half-smile.

“Su Yun~

I don't dare anymore, I admit defeat!

Your strength is truly too great.

My Spells simply don't work on you!”

Leng Xirou said in a charming, coquettish tone.

“It's time to get up; we should return to the Holy Land sooner rather than later.

I'll take you to meet my Revered Master while we're at it.”

“Also, our Holy Land's Elder didn't have any objections when he saw you yesterday.

You can rest easy now!”

Leng Xirou slowly sat up, a bright smile appearing on her pretty face.

Even though Su Yun had guaranteed it repeatedly before,

that the Taixuan Elder wouldn't mind her status as a demon cultivator,

a sliver of worry had still been hidden in her heart.

Only after seeing that the Taixuan Elder yesterday didn't seem to care did she finally feel at ease.

“Mhm, thank you, Su Yun!”

Leng Xirou lunged directly into Su Yun's arms, her gorgeous red lips pressing against his in a kiss.

A long while later, the two finally separated.

Right then, Xie Yulan's voice suddenly rang out from outside the partition.

“Junior Brother Yun, the Yaochi Saintess is here!

Come out quickly!

You aren't still in bed, are you?”

...At this moment, Xie Yulan stood outside the partition door with some confusion.

It was already noon.

Why hadn't Junior Brother Yun gotten up yet?

Could he have overslept?

Thinking of this, she gently knocked on the partition door a few more times.

“Coming, Senior Sister Yulan!”

Su Yun called out directly.

After he and Leng Xirou finished dressing, they tidied up the partition area.

Then, they opened the partition door.

“Morning, Senior Sister Yulan!”

Su Yun greeted with a light smile.

“It's not early at all. Were you practicing?

I didn't disturb you, did I?”

Xie Yulan rubbed her head sheepishly, her beautiful eyes peeking into the partition at the same time.

She immediately noticed something was off.

She found that Leng Xirou didn't seem to have much energy.

It was as if she had just gone through a great battle, her whole body weary.

“No, I just slept a bit longer.”

“Eh? What's wrong with Miss Xi Rou?

Could it be that you two sparred for too long last night and exhausted your Qi?”

Xie Yulan's eyes shifted slightly as she asked directly.

Having heard yesterday that Su Yun and Leng Xirou were going to spar,

she had been very curious about how they would spar in such a small partition.

Sparring without using Qi was still sparring.

It was impossible for there to be no sound at all!

And with Junior Brother Yun's strength being so great, wouldn't he tear the room apart in an instant?

Yet last night, aside from some strange noises, there wasn't much commotion.

“Ahem, Senior Sister Yulan, we were just discussing some cultivation issues, not sparring.”

Su Yun said with a hint of embarrassment.

He had previously assumed Xie Yulan understood what he and Leng Xirou meant by their words.

But looking at her now, she didn't understand a single bit.

“Miss Yulan, you haven't reached this stage yet, so there's no need to know so much.”

A flash of smugness crossed Leng Xirou's eyes. Her red lips moved as she began to talk nonsense.

This was it?

She had thought this Senior Sister Yulan of Su Yun's was a formidable character.

In the end, she was like a sheltered Young Miss who didn't even understand this; she was too weak!

“Ah? What do you mean?”

Xie Yulan was left completely in the dark, looking around suspiciously.

But she didn't find anything strange.

She felt like she was being played.

But she had no proof.

“Right, Senior Sister Yulan, you said Miss Liu is here?”

“Yes, she and a Yaochi Elder are right outside the door!

Let's head over quickly!”

Xie Yulan snapped out of it, ignored the previous topic, and spoke directly.

“Mhm, alright, let's go together.”

Soon, Su Yun and the two women left the partition together.

The three quickly arrived outside the room... Outside the room.

Today, Liu Ruoxi was wearing a pale green plain dress, her figure slender and her black hair falling like a waterfall.

She stood beside a White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool.

“Saint Su, did you rest well yesterday?”

“Very well, thank you to the Seniors of the Jade Pool Holy Land for your hospitality.”

Su Yun cupped his hands toward the White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool and spoke respectfully.

“That is good.”

A satisfied smile appeared on the White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool's face.

She waved her hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, a jade bracelet emitting a faint white spiritual light appeared.

Immediately after, the jade bracelet flew directly into Su Yun's hand.

“This is?”

Su Yun looked at the jade bracelet in his hand with some confusion.

Judging by the fluctuations of spiritual energy from this jade bracelet, it was a supreme grade spirit tool storage artifact.

This kind of spatial artifact was much more expensive than ordinary supreme grade spirit tools.

“This is a small token of appreciation from our Jade Pool Holy Land.

Inside, there is also a Tianyao Command.”

“If you encounter any trouble, you can contact our Jade Pool Holy Land through the Tianyao Command.

If it is something we can resolve, we will help you immediately.”

“These things are too valuable.

There's no need!”

Su Yun used his Divine Sense to probe the internal space of the storage bracelet and tried to decline.

He had already made a huge profit in the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Yet the Jade Pool Holy Land was being so generous again.

He truly had too many Heaven And Earth Treasures now.

Furthermore, in addition to various precious Heaven And Earth Treasures, this storage bracelet contained a large number of precious ancient Spiritual Plant seeds.

Perhaps Liu Ruoxi had told the Jade Pool Holy Land about him collecting various spirit fruit tree branches,

so they specifically sent a large pile of Spiritual Plant seeds.

“Saint Su, please accept it!

Otherwise, we Yaochi Elders will not be able to eat or sleep in peace!”

The White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool insisted.

At this side, Liu Ruoxi also urged:

“Young Master Su, these things are nothing.

After all, you helped our Jade Pool Holy Land so much.

It is only right to give you some gifts.”

“Alright then!”

Su Yun had no choice but to accept.

“Saint Su, won't you stay for a few more days?”

The White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool continued.

“No, I have matters to attend to and need to return to the Holy Land early.”

“That is a pity. The teleportation array to Taixuan City has already been opened.

Saint Su can leave by teleportation array now.

If you have time, Saint Su is welcome to visit our Jade Pool Holy Land again!”

“Mhm, alright.”

Su Yun nodded.

Soon, under Liu Ruoxi's lead, the three of them boarded the teleportation array and left the Tianyao Region... Liu Ruoxi stood by the teleportation array, a look of determination flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“Elder, I want to participate in that Ancient Trial within the Holy Land!”

“Are you sure?

That Ancient Trial is very dangerous!

Aside from the Yaochi Ancestral Master, no one has been able to pass it.”

“I am sure. My strength is still too weak right now.

I must become stronger!”

“Good, I believe you can do it.

If you can pass that Ancient Trial, your strength will surely soar.

Even if you can't catch up to Saint Su, your strength will rise to the very forefront among the younger generation of Cultivators.”

“Elder, who... who said I wanted to catch up to Young Master Su!”

Liu Ruoxi's face turned slightly red as she retorted.

“Alright, alright, if you say so.

Since you've decided to participate in that Ancient Trial, then come back with me early to make preparations.”

The White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool said with a beaming smile.

“I understand.”

Liu Ruoxi nodded, then followed the Elder directly back to the Jade Pool Holy Land...
