119: Strong in both theory and practice

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, spilling over the slightly messy bed.

Lu Yi was the first to wake up. He stretched his limbs, feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.

The Power of the Stars within his body seemed to have received some kind of nourishment, flowing more actively than usual.

He turned his head to look at Chu Qianqian, who was still fast asleep beside him, and a playful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Recalling the madness of last night, Lu Yi couldn't help but give this Hehuan Sect Holy Maiden a thumbs-up in his heart.

She truly lived up to her title as the professionally-trained Hehuan Sect Holy Maiden!

Although at the beginning, this girl indeed had only theory without practice, and her movements were very clumsy.

She even caused a few hilarious little blunders because she was too nervous.

However, the vast 'theoretical knowledge' stored in her mind played a huge role at that time.

With her amazing Comprehension Ability and foundation, she picked things up extremely quickly.

From the initial stumbling 'armchair strategy' to later 'mastery,' and finally even being able to apply what she learned to new situations, she unlocked various high-difficulty positions that Lu Yi had never even imagined.

The experience of this night simply got better and better.

This time, Lu Yi truly experienced firsthand what it meant to reach the highest Realm of 'theory guiding practice.'

“Mm...”

As if sensing Lu Yi's gaze, Chu Qianqian's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes.

Having just woken up, she completely lacked the arrogant and naturally seductive Aura of a demoness she usually had.

The Aura of the bold words she spoke last night was also gone.

At this moment, her hair was messily plastered to her cheeks, and her eyes were blurry and dazed.

She subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her eyes like a child, letting out a soft, nasal sound from her throat:

“Mm... morning...”

That lazy, defenseless appearance made her look very much like a cat that hadn't woken up yet.

“Hiss...”

Looking at her adorable, contrasting appearance, Lu Yi felt his heart skip a beat.

The heat he had just suppressed almost flared up uncontrollably again.

He cursed silently in his heart:

“This is ridiculous! This demoness is actually damnably cute at a time like this?”

He took a deep breath and silently recited the Heart Clearing Incantation twice before barely suppressing the urge for another 'morning workout.'

After all, there was serious business to attend to today.

Lu Yi reached out, helped tidy the messy hair on her forehead, and reminded her:

“Wake up, Saintess. The sun is already high in the sky. Don't forget we're entering the Yaochi Immortal Realm today.”

The words 'Yaochi Immortal Realm' were like a curse-breaking Talismanic Incantation.

Chu Qianqian, whose eyes were still blurry, instantly snapped back to her senses.

The haze in her eyes vanished, replaced by clarity and a hint of competitive light.

She suddenly tried to sit up.

“Hiss—!”

However, this sudden movement immediately triggered the soreness and discomfort throughout her body.

She couldn't help but gasp, falling back onto the soft pillow.

She clutched her waist and gave Lu Yi a fierce, reproachful glare:

“It's all your fault! Don't you know how to be gentle with a lady? I feel like my bones are falling apart!”

Facing her accusation, Lu Yi had a look of complete innocence.

He spread his hands and retorted righteously:

“This is truly a great injustice!”

“Who was the one shouting last night that she could still keep going?”

“I was cooperating with you the whole time.”

“You...!”

Chu Qianqian's cheeks turned bright red from his words. In her shame and indignation, she grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it hard at Lu Yi's punchable face.

“Don't say it! Hurry up and get dressed!”

Then, with a red face, she began to frantically search for her clothes on the bed... A moment later.

Both were fully dressed.

Although there was still a slight unnaturalness in Chu Qianqian's walking posture, relying on her deep cultivation, she had outwardly returned to her normal appearance.

Lu Yi pushed open the door and walked out first.

However, as soon as one of his feet crossed the threshold, he saw Ling'er, Wu Mingyue, and Qing'er standing neatly in the courtyard.

Six eyes were staring fixedly at the newly opened door.

The posture suggested they were waiting for them to set out.

“Uh...”

Lu Yi felt his scalp go a bit numb.

Especially when Ling'er's large, watery eyes scanned back and forth between him and Chu Qianqian, who followed closely behind.

Although the two were now properly dressed and looked as if nothing had happened.

However, as Lu Yi's personal maid, Ling'er was all too familiar with her Revered Master's Aura.

Add to that the lingering trace of post-coital glow in Chu Qianqian's eyes.

How could this escape Ling'er's 'radar'?

Her small nose sniffed slightly, and she instantly understood what had happened last night.

Her little face immediately puffed up like a bun as she glared at Lu Yi huffily.

In those resentful little eyes, a sentence was clearly written:

“Revered Master! You didn't take me to play again!”

She had also been working hard to study the Cultivation Technique these past few days, so why did Revered Master go to 'practice' with this demoness?

As for Wu Mingyue and Qing'er on the side, although they didn't have intuition as sharp as Ling'er's.

However, seeing Ling'er's huffy look, combined with the subtle and strange atmosphere between Lu Yi and Chu Qianqian.

A flash of inspiration instantly struck these two girls' little heads.

In their minds, almost simultaneously, certain indescribable descriptions of 'Dual Cultivation' from the book 'The Overbearing Master Falls for Me' they read yesterday surfaced.

The scene described in the book seemed to be exactly like this... Wu Mingyue was the first to react. Not only did she understand in a second, but she also instantly associated it with some R-rated images.

Her cheeks turned bright red with a 'boom,' all the way down to her neck.

She hurriedly lowered her head, staring intently at her toes, her hands twisted together, not daring to look up at Lu Yi at all.

While Qing'er was slightly more ignorant, seeing her Junior Sister like this, she also realized something.

She blinked her large eyes and then followed suit, lowering her head with a red face, pretending to look at the ants on the ground.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely awkward and suggestive.

Even the air seemed filled with the scent of 'I know what you did.'

No matter how thick-skinned Chu Qianqian was, she couldn't quite hold it together now.

She felt her cheeks burning.

To hide the embarrassment, she pretended to be calm and raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear.

Then, she cleared her throat and said loudly:

“Ahem! What are you looking at? Is everyone here?”

“If everyone's here, let's go! Don't dilly-dally here!”

As she spoke, she walked quickly down the steps, trying to overwhelm everyone with her Aura:

“That old woman from Yaochi is probably waiting impatiently!”

Seeing this, Lu Yi also quickly took the opportunity to escape the situation.

He put on the dignity of a Revered Master and, with a stern face, echoed seriously:

“That's right! Serious business is more important! Stop dazing around, let's go!”

After saying that, he didn't even dare to look at Ling'er's resentful eyes and directly activated his spiritual power, taking flight first.

“Humph!”

Seeing this, Ling'er could only obediently follow.

Wu Mingyue and Qing'er looked at each other, blushed, stuck out their tongues, and also quickly used their flight lights to follow.

The group of five, each with their own thoughts, turned into five streaks of light and sped towards the entrance of the Yaochi Immortal Realm.
