84: restless condensation cream

Over the next few days, Chu Qianqian seemed to have vanished into thin air, never once showing her face.

Lu Yi guessed that she was likely busy "entertaining" her "dear sister" properly.

This made Lu Yi feel a bit restless.

After all, he was very curious about what novel tricks Chu Qianqian would come up with to mess with that high-and-mighty Yaochi Saintess.

However, he hadn't been idle during these three days.

The Scripture Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect had an incredibly rich collection.

Lu Yi would basically take time to go there every day for some in-depth "study."

Each time, he would have some brand-new insights and gains.

It was just... this was hard on Ling'er.

During these three days, she basically hadn't stepped out of the room much.

Every day, she was diligently accompanying her master to "practice" the new knowledge he had just learned.

One day, late at night.

After Lu Yi had finished another in-depth "exchange" of the day's study experience with Ling'er.

Looking at Ling'er, who had fallen into a deep sleep again with a hint of exhaustion on her face, Lu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

He sighed inwardly:

It seems I need to hurry up and urge this girl's Cultivate progress.

The gap between the Undying Realm and the Purple Mansion Realm—these three major Realm levels—was simply too large.

She was truly falling a bit behind his "study" pace.

He gently tucked Ling'er in.

Then, he straightened his clothes, pushed the door open, and prepared to return to his own room.

The night was deep, and the Saintess Hall was completely silent.

When he passed by the room next door where Leng Ningshuang lived, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Two days ago, when Lu Yi passed by, he could clearly sense that Leng Ningshuang was inside her room, in seclusion to Cultivate.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuations belonging to an Indestructible Realm Expert on her body, while steady, would often leak out.

He could even occasionally sense that the Spiritual Qi within her body, while circulating, would for some reason produce a trace of chaotic fluctuation.

However, for some reason, tonight, her room had become exceptionally quiet.

He couldn't even sense the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power.

Lu Yi didn't think too much about it, assuming she had finished her Cultivate.

Afterward, he walked straight toward the main guest room where he was staying.

However, what he didn't expect was.

When he approached his room, he was shocked to see a familiar figure pacing back and forth in front of his door.

Judging by her appearance, it seemed she had something important on her mind and was hesitating whether to knock.

It was none other than Leng Ningshuang.

Lu Yi watched her hesitant back, and his heart stirred.

He immediately concealed all of his aura.

Like a ghost, he silently approached behind her.

Then, he leaned his head in close to her jade-white ear.

Lowering his voice, he whispered:

"Martial Aunt, it's so late... do you have something to find me for?"

"Ah!"

Leng Ningshuang had been restless from thinking about matters and hadn't noticed the movement around her at all.

She was given a huge fright on the spot by Lu Yi's sudden question and the warm breath against her ear!

She let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly turned around, her back hitting the cold door panel with a "bang" as she pressed tightly against it.

She looked at the handsome face just inches away, which bore a hint of a playful smile.

Her mouth stuttered, trying to cover up her panic:

"You... you! How do you walk without making any sound?!"

She then seemed to remember something and forced a justification:

"I... I was just passing by! You... you weren't in your room..."

"Oh? Passing by, huh."

Lu Yi smiled and leaned in half a step closer.

He looked at Leng Ningshuang's pretty face, which was flushed with nervousness and shame, and teased:

"I just came from Ling'er's place, helping her check her 'study' results. Haven't things been like this for the past two days? Martial Aunt... are you not aware?"

His voice echoed in the quiet corridor.

Leng Ningshuang finally realized!

She had truly lost her head from anxiety!

She had actually forgotten that for the past two days, this guy Lu Yi would run to the room next door every night to fool around with that maid!

Her already flushed cheeks were now burning terrifyingly hot!

She had wanted to scold Lu Yi and tell him to be a bit more restrained.

Not to always make all sorts of strange noises that affected her Cultivate.

However, before she could react much to this embarrassment.

Lu Yi continued to ask, as if "knowingly asking":

"So, Martial Aunt, since it's the middle of the night, why aren't you resting in your room instead of coming to my door... what exactly is the matter?"

"I... I..."

To Lu Yi's surprise, the usually cold and decisive Leng Ningshuang.

Was now stammering, unable to say a complete sentence for a long while.

Her cold eyes didn't dare to meet Lu Yi's gaze, only drifting around uncertainly.

Finally, as if grabbing onto a lifeline, she changed the subject:

"Where... where is Chu Qianqian? Where has she gone these past few days? I... I have some things I want to ask her..."

In fact, this excuse of Leng Ningshuang's wasn't entirely an excuse.

After all, the reason she had hesitated at Lu Yi's door in the middle of the night.

Was primarily because she couldn't find Chu Qianqian!

The reason she needed to find Chu Qianqian was because, ever since she finished the "Dual Cultivation" with Lu Yi that day.

In the following few days, although the cold energy condition in her body had indeed not flared up again.

Her Physique seemed to have tended toward being complete.

However, when she was in her Cultivate, she always felt a strange, inexplicable sensation flowing through her body.

When her spiritual power circulated, she could never calm her mind.

Originally, she hadn't paid much attention to this matter.

After all, as long as she didn't have to experience the pain of the cold energy flare-up, a few minor side effects didn't matter.

However, over these last two days, she felt it becoming increasingly wrong.

She discovered that even when she wasn't in her Cultivate, a strange, inexplicable feeling of restlessness would rise within her body for no reason!

No matter how carefree she tried to be, she could tell that something was definitely wrong!

Something must have gone wrong somewhere!

Thus, she anxiously prepared to find the "culprit," Chu Qianqian, to ask what exactly was going on?!

But that demoness Chu Qianqian didn't know where she had run off to.

For these past few days, she hadn't even seen a shadow of her!

And that inexplicable restlessness within her body had only grown stronger as time passed.

In desperation, she had no choice but to... come find Lu Yi.

After all, Lu Yi was the "involved party."

She wanted to ask him if he had the same strange feeling as she did.
