85: Come on! Follow me inside!

Lu Yi looked at Leng Ningshuang's eager appearance as she searched for Chu Qianqian.

He naturally knew that this was definitely not the true purpose of her visit.

However, he still followed her lead and answered her question.

Lu Yi stroked his chin, feigning a moment of thought, before slowly speaking:

"Chu Qianqian... lately, she should still be busy 'settling accounts,' right?"

"I estimate that for a while, you probably won't be able to see her. But..."

He estimated the time:

"Martial Aunt, don't worry too much. At the latest, in another ten to twenty days, she will definitely show up."

After all, the competition for the slots in the Yaochi Immortal Realm would begin by then.

However, what also made Lu Yi somewhat curious was...

When the time came, how would Chu Qianqian deal with Chu Qianqian?

Would she just let her leave like that, or... were there other arrangements?

Lu Yi was still secretly looking forward to the following "good show" in his heart.

As for Leng Ningshuang, hearing this answer made her increasingly anxious.

She couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise:

"It's still... going to be that long!"

Leng Ningshuang now felt that every extra day she waited was an indescribable torment!

That inexplicable sense of restlessness within her body was deepening every day with the passage of time.

If she really had to wait another ten to twenty days... she truly couldn't imagine what the result would be!

Lu Yi looked at her extremely anxious and even somewhat uncomposed appearance, and inquired:

"What's wrong? Martial Aunt, do you have some urgent matter to discuss with Chu Qianqian?"

"I..."

Leng Ningshuang was choked up again by his question.

She couldn't very well say that she had come looking for that demoness because something was wrong with her body, could she?

She thought for a while and finally gritted her teeth.

At this point, she couldn't care about so much anymore; she could only beat around the bush and ask Lu Yi, the "involved party," about the situation.

Then, she stammered in an unnatural tone and asked:

"Lu Yi... I'm asking you... just... it's about last time, after we... did that..."

"Did you... have any strange feelings?"

"Strange feelings?"

Hearing her ambiguous question, Lu Yi immediately understood.

She was asking about the Dual Cultivation from last time.

However, he was still a bit puzzled.

Why did Leng Ningshuang suddenly care so much about his feelings?

Could it be... that her conscience had finally kicked in, and she ran over specifically to conduct an "after-action survey" to check on his "user experience"?

The image of that "fierce battle" immediately surfaced in Lu Yi's mind.

He "savored" it quite seriously for a moment.

Then, he looked up at Leng Ningshuang's pretty face, which was filled with tension and expectation, and answered solemnly:

"The feeling... was actually quite good."

He paused and continued his "review":

"It's just that I felt, Martial Aunt, you... cough, your movements were really too stiff, lacking a bit of fluidity. And... you always liked being on top..."

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Leng Ningshuang had originally held a sliver of hope for his next answer.

She wondered if he would be a "fellow sufferer" just like her.

But she never expected that this bastard would actually start "reviewing" the feelings during the process so solemnly right in front of her face!

She instantly lost her composure!

She hurriedly took a step forward, reached out, and firmly covered Lu Yi's incessantly babbling mouth.

"You... you shut up!"

With a flushed face, she "scolded" him in shame and anger:

"Who... who asked you about those feelings!"

"I'm asking... if your body has felt strange in any way these past few days?!"

"Like... for example, do you have that feeling of... being unable to Cultivate with a peaceful mind or something?!"

"Mmph, mmph..." Lu Yi, with his mouth covered, made a couple of unintelligible sounds.

Leng Ningshuang then realized her actions were somewhat improper and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Lu Yi finally caught on.

"Oh... so that's what you were asking."

He put on an expression of "sudden realization":

"I thought you were dissatisfied with your performance that day and came specifically to seek my opinion."

"You're still talking!" Leng Ningshuang was so angry she wanted to raise her hand to hit him again.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you." Seeing that she was really about to blow her top, Lu Yi put away his mocking face.

He thought about it carefully and then answered Leng Ningshuang's question very honestly.

"There aren't any strange feelings."

He spread his hands and continued:

"These past few days, I've felt refreshed and have made rapid progress in my Cultivation. Look, I'm already in the Undying Realm."

Then he even asked in return:

"Why, Martial Aunt... do you have some strange feelings?"

"..."

Hearing Lu Yi's crisp and straightforward answer, Leng Ningshuang fell completely into deep thought.

He doesn't have them?

Then... then doesn't that mean it's really something wrong on my end?

Or is it... that there's something wrong with that Cultivation Technique Chu Qianqian gave me?

Then, she suddenly recalled the words Chu Qianqian had said before.

"This kind of thing is just like Cultivation; there must be give and take, plucking and supplementing, and the harmony of Yin and Yang for it to be lasting."

Could it be... could it be because last time, she was only focused on saving him and only operated the 'supplementing' half of the technique?

While on her side, it was 'all supplement and no pluck,' which led to... an imbalance of Yin and Yang?!

Leng Ningshuang felt as if she had grasped the key to the problem!

Then... then what should she do?

Could it be... she had to... do it again?

And this time, she would also have to include the 'plucking' technique... Immediately, she subconsciously looked up at Lu Yi in front of her.

Lu Yi was also completely bewildered by her sudden, strange gaze.

Within Leng Ningshuang's heart, a battle between her inner selves broke out.

After all, last time was an emergency situation to save someone, a complete accident.

She had also told Lu Yi that they were "even."

If... they did it again... how would she explain it?

Could it be that she had to take the initiative to tell Lu Yi that she... wanted it?

No! No way!

She hurriedly shook her head, tossing that terrifying thought out of her mind.

It was too shameless!

Moreover, she hadn't even figured out yet if it was truly because of that reason.

Thinking of this, she also seemed to realize that her thought just now was a bit too radical.

It was better... better to first find out if it was because of that Cultivation Technique!

Right! Figure out the issue with the technique first!

She made up her mind and no longer hesitated.

She grabbed Lu Yi's arm with one hand.

"Go! Follow me inside!"

Then, regardless of Lu Yi's bewildered expression, she dragged him into his room.
