130: Su Yang, slow down, you can't take it!
In the boundless desert, a man was steadily advancing eastward, step by step.
Heatwaves twisted his figure like flames, but they did not affect his forward momentum.
In his arms, a beautiful woman was coiled.
Perhaps due to the external heat of the desert or some internal heat, the woman's skin was a rosy color, and her fair face showed a distinct redness.
Her cultivation was already suppressed by Su Yang, and with each step and impact, Bai Lingxi had no strength left.
If it weren't for the structural lock supporting her, Bai Lingxi wouldn't have been able to cling on.
"Su Yang, I... I can't hold on... Please put me down..." Bai Lingxi said, gritting her teeth.
Su Yang took a deep breath, lifted her up, and then put her down.
Although her cultivation would return the moment she left Su Yang, her limbs were still weak, and she had to lean on Su Yang to barely stand.
"Rest for a bit?"
"Yes, let's rest for a bit."
Bai Lingxi nodded, leaning on Su Yang to recover as quickly as possible.
They had been traveling this way for three months.
For these three months, Bai Lingxi had been coiled around Su Yang, letting him carry her as he walked.
Unlike when she was in the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, where she could endure 50 days motionless in a static mode with a bit of grit, in this dynamic moving state, with Su Yang taking a step and an impact with each stride, she could at most endure for five days, even if she tried her hardest.
And during these five days, both Su Yang and she would constantly face the special situation of resonance.
Su Yang had long been accustomed to it and would not deliberately restrain himself.
It came when it came.
Bai Lingxi was very unaccustomed and embarrassed at first, but over time, both her body and her mind gradually adapted. Whether it was Su Yang's critical hits or her own resonance, she even slowly developed a sense of fascination.
During this time, they were inseparable every day. Not only did her body adapt to Su Yang, but her mind also adapted to Su Yang.
Thus, day after day.
Bai Lingxi's gaze towards Su Yang also subtly changed as the days passed.
After all, day after day, twenty-four hours a day, no woman could remain indifferent.
Even though she was the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, and even though she possessed the Peak Late Spirit Transformation Stage cultivation, in front of Su Yang, a man with the Innate Kidney Body, Bai Lingxi, a mere woman, had been deeply conquered by Su Yang's daily presence.
She even felt this herself.
She became increasingly aware of the urge to keep him by her side.
"Once we leave the Yellow Springs Desert, I must keep him in the Hehuan Sect!" Bai Lingxi thought to herself, leaning on Su Yang and looking at his face, which made her heart pound.
"What are you looking at? Don't tell me you've fallen in love with me?" Su Yang teased, seeing her gentle gaze.
Bai Lingxi neither admitted nor denied it, looking at the vast Yellow Springs Desert and saying, "How much longer do you think it will take us to leave the Yellow Springs Desert?"
Su Yang followed her gaze towards the boundless sea of sand, shrugging helplessly, and asked curiously, "You shouldn't be new to the Yellow Springs Desert. You should be more experienced. How long did it usually take you to leave the Yellow Springs Desert before?"
Bai Lingxi replied, "When I entered the Yellow Springs Desert before, I would first inquire which city the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring was closest to, and then use the city's location as a return landmark. It would take a month at the fastest, three months at the slowest, but I could usually get out. But this time, we came in without even confirming the location of the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, so my previous experience is useless."
Su Yang looked at the endless sea of sand before him and sighed helplessly.
He had to admit that the current situation was his own fault.
Fortunately, his Physique was special, and he could prevent the loss of True Essence by using the Body Integration parallel method. At most, it would take a bit longer, but at least there was no danger to his life!
Su Yang took a deep breath and cheered himself up again.
He clapped his hands and said to Bai Lingxi, "Sect Master Bai, come on, let's continue our journey!"
Bai Lingxi pursed her lips, jumped onto him, and habitually coiled around his waist.
"Can you please stop clapping your hands every time? It's like you're training a little dog."
"Then why do you still come up?"
"I... I'm just used to it..."
"Hehe."
Su Yang laughed heartily, lowered her, and the lost True Essence immediately stopped.
Su Yang strode eastward with big steps.
"Slow down, slow down..."
Bai Lingxi clutched Su Yang's back tightly.
"Don't you want to leave this deadly Yellow Springs Desert quickly?"
"Of course I do! But if you walk too fast, I... I can't bear it..."
"Really?"
Su Yang smiled mischievously.
This Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect was completely under his control at this moment. Shouldn't he give her a taste of something strong!?
Su Yang suddenly stretched his legs and ran eastward with big strides.
That's what you get for casting the Sea Drying Curse on me!
That's what you get for casting the Five Thunder True Essence Curse on me!
I couldn't let the two Grand Elders, Xuan Yan and Xuan Jian, discipline you, so now I'll do it myself!
"Slow down... Su Yang..."
Under the scorching sun, Su Yang ran farther and faster, and a sacred, light, and melodious voice rhythmically spread into the distance across the boundless sea of sand... Another two months passed in a flash.
Su Yang, day and night, carried Bai Lingxi, constantly moving towards where the sun rose.
At dawn that day, Su Yang, as usual, carried Bai Lingxi towards the rising sun.
As the sun climbed higher, the scene before them became clearer.
Su Yang saw that the height of the distant dunes was rapidly decreasing, and no other dunes appeared.
"Is that the edge of the Yellow Springs Desert?" Su Yang's expression instantly became excited.
Bai Lingxi, held in Su Yang's arms, heard this and immediately looked forward, her face also lighting up with excitement, "That's right! That's the edge of the Yellow Springs Desert! We're finally out!"
"Hahaha, we finally made it out! Damn it, we finally made it out!!!" Su Yang laughed almost madly as he ran forward.
Half a year!
A full half year!
Not counting the time it took to enter the Yellow Springs Desert and find the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring, it had been half a year since they left the Heavenly Extreme Cold Spring!
For half a year, all he faced was endless yellow sand. Even though Su Yang was already an Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he inevitably felt desolate and helpless deep down.
Now that he was finally leaving this damned desert, Su Yang's excitement was imaginable.
"Su Yang, slow down... slow down... ah, slow down..." Bai Lingxi was also excited.
But because Su Yang was running too fast, her head felt empty from the jolting.
"We'll be there soon, just bear with it!" Su Yang not only didn't slow down but ran even faster.
About half an hour later, Su Yang took a flying step out of the boundary between the Yellow Springs Desert and the outer wilderness.
The moment he stepped out of the Yellow Springs Desert, the Spiritual Qi from the outside world immediately surged into Su Yang's and Bai Lingxi's bodies like a tide.
At this moment, both Su Yang and Bai Lingxi felt a sense of relief that they had finally made it out alive.
"Su Yang, put me down..." Bai Lingxi said with a flushed face. Su Yang, who had been running at full speed, wasn't out of breath, but she, who hadn't run or moved, was breathing heavily.
Su Yang lifted her up and placed her on the ground.
"Damn it, we finally made it out alive!!!" Su Yang spread his arms and roared at the sky.
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage was truly not easy!
Just then, Su Yang suddenly felt his head hit by a powerful force. An irresistible True Essence instantly impacted his consciousness. Su Yang felt his vision go black and instantly lost consciousness...
