569: The first Taoist companion!

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and the tears in her eyes finally burst forth.

Wails and sobs came from Lingxi's mouth.

On one hand, she quite liked Lu Hao, and now that he had rejected her, she was naturally a bit sad.

On the other hand, if Lu Hao was unwilling to help her with Dual Cultivation, then it was tantamount to a death sentence for her... Once a hundred years passed, she would Reincarnate back to her birth, but this time, only death awaited her.

She would also fail her Master, who had sacrificed everything for her with his life.

Thinking of this, her heart was even more incomparably sorrowful, and her sobs became even more tragic.

Lingxi bit her lower lip tightly, drawing blood, her eyes filled with grievance, shyness, and a trace of imperceptible despair.

"Young lady, why... must you be like this?"

Lu Hao heard her crying and felt a pang of pity, his tone softening.

These words completely shattered Xuan Lingzi's psychological defense. She could no longer control her emotions, directly squatting on the ground, hugging her knees, and crying loudly.

Lingxi's shoulders trembled violently, her suppressed cries sounding particularly heartbreaking in the quiet night.

Although she possessed the Cultivation of Yang Solid eighth-level, counting from her ninth Reincarnation, she was actually only twenty-one years old. Most other girls her age were very happy, but she had truly endured too much unbearable pain.

Seeing this, Lu Hao felt a pang of pity. He finally put down his hand and stepped forward, wanting to pull her up:

"Lingxi, don't cry. Let's talk properly. Please get up first. Or... how about I help you think of other ways? Wait for me for a moment, I'll look up some information..."

Lu Hao was preparing to ask the System if there was a solution, as he truly didn't know how to resolve it.

Just as he bent down and reached out to pull Xuan Lingzi up, Lingxi suddenly rose sharply, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and pressing her burning cheek against his chest.

Lu Hao only felt a soft body rush into his embrace, bringing with it a delicate fragrance that made his body stiffen.

Before Lu Hao could react, she slightly stood on her tiptoes, and her tear-stained red lips pressed against his.

Lu Hao's whole body stiffened, his mind instantly blank.

The soft touch on his lips intertwined with the slight saltiness of tears, the elegant lotus scent from her hair lingered at his nostrils, and the body in his arms was still trembling slightly.

He could clearly feel her rapid breathing and heartbeat, as well as that desperate, all-or-nothing resolve.

"I... was kissed again?"

Lu Hao wanted to push her away, but then he heard Lingxi, her breath like orchids, say:

"Senior... I like you..."

"Ah?"

Lu Hao's heart couldn't help but tremble, like an electric current passing through him, making his whole body tingle... This was the first time such a situation had occurred in his life.

Although Lan Xiaoying had confessed to him before, Lu Hao truly had no romantic feelings for her, only a sibling-like affection.

As for Lu Ling'er later, there was even less to say; Lu Hao mostly wanted to repay the Karma of his Transmigration into this Physical Body.

After all, this was Ling'er's brother's Physical Body after Reincarnation, so he simply treated Ling'er as his own younger sister.

But Lingxi was different; she had no relation to Lu Hao whatsoever, having only known each other for just over a month.

However, Lu Hao just had a different feeling for her, so facing Lingxi's confession, Lu Hao, for the first time in his life... felt a stir in his heart.

Although this feeling was not very strong.

The very next moment after Lingxi's confession, she made an even bolder move!

Lu Hao's eyes instantly widened, and an unnamable fire completely erupted within his body!

Because at this very moment, a soft, slippery thing had drilled into his mouth!!!

Lu Hao's mind exploded with a bang, and then he completely lost the ability to think.

His heart had already been somewhat hot and unbearable when he saw Lingxi's delicate body, and now, stimulated like this again, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire!

How could he still hold back?

Lu Hao was not truly a Saint!

Moreover, Lu Hao had restrained himself before because he wasn't sure if Lingxi had feelings for him; he thought she might just want to live, and Lu Hao didn't want to take advantage of someone in their time of need... Moonlight streamed through the window into the room, bathing the embracing couple in a silvery glow.

The jade pendant in Xuan Lingzi's embrace became scorching hot at some point, emitting waves of light. The two stood embracing, kissing more and more wildly!

With the last shred of his reason, Lu Hao cast a Formation, completely enveloping his room. Outside the Formation, no Cultivator, unless they had comprehended the complete Dao of Formation, could possibly detect what was happening inside!

The Formation complete, Lu Hao then scooped up Lingxi's delicate body. After another period of kissing, their lips parted. Lingxi's pretty face was already flushed crimson, burning hot.

Lu Hao, too, was breathing rapidly, somewhat lost in the moment.

Lu Hao looked at Lingxi with a certain heated intensity, asking solemnly:

"You... don't regret it?"

Lingxi nodded lightly:

"Mm..."

Lingxi's soft and enchanting voice was completely different from how she had appeared to outsiders before!

Hearing her affirmative answer, Lu Hao could no longer hold back. He embraced Lingxi, quickly walked to the bedside, and gently placed her on the bed.

"Ah..."

Thrown onto the bed, Lingxi let out a gasp, but her voice was quickly muffled.

In an instant, boundless passion filled the air.

In the darkness, only two Souls were madly giving and taking... The next day.

It was already very bright, and in the courtyard, everyone who had been Cultivating in the Hunyuan Pagoda had come out.

They remembered Lu Hao saying that today was the day the Eastern Region Relic would open. They wanted to go and welcome the little Dragon's return together, so they stopped Cultivating early in the morning.

Lan Xiaoying had even prepared breakfast early, just waiting for Lu Hao to come out.

But what puzzled everyone was that there was an extra layer of Formation outside Master's room today?!

This was very strange!

Master never had a habit of setting up Formations outside his room. With his Cultivation, when would he ever need such a thing?

Everyone looked around outside, their faces showing worried expressions, but no one could detect what was happening inside.

Yin Xiaotong was the first to speak:

"Master... he'll be alright, won't he?"

Mu Siyuan quickly retorted:

"How could that be? What level of Cultivation does Master possess? How could anything happen to him? Perhaps there's an unknown reason for him to have set up this grand Formation?"

"But... Master's actions are a bit unusual. Normally, by this time, he would have already woken up and be enjoying the cool air in the woods."
