110: Chapter 110: Light and airy, especially comfortable.

Nine-Turn Corridor, top floor.

Lu Changning walked up to Xia Yingying with some nervousness, trying to make her voice sound steady and reliable:

"Junior... Junior Sister, hello. I am Lu Changning. I have been ordered by... by Revered Master to take you to the Sheng-Sheng Creation Spring to clear the erosion qi first."

Xia Yingying looked at this Senior Sister who was not much taller than herself. The other girl was wearing a plain dress, her delicate face showing obvious awkwardness, and her eyes were a bit evasive.

And... she was just like her in the front!

This actually caused her original apprehension to dissipate a bit, giving rise to a sense of closeness. She hurriedly gave a polite salute:

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister Lu."

"We... let's head over first."

Lu Changning pointed in the direction, signaling Xia Yingying to follow.

Xia Yingying looked at the other figures still struggling to climb nearby, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister Lu, don't... don't we need to wait for them?"

She pointed to the others below who were still working hard to climb.

Hearing this, Lu Changning's gaze subconsciously fell on the erosion qi wrapped around Xia Yingying like an ink-colored veil. Her heart tightened as she immediately remembered Revered Master's instructions.

She quickly shook her head.

"No, no need to wait! They... they will be brought over by other Senior Sisters later."

As she spoke, she unconsciously reached out and gently pulled Xia Yingying's sleeve, her intention to hurry obvious.

"Oh... oh! Okay, Senior Sister!"

Lu Changning took Xia Yingying on her flying sword and soon landed beside the Sheng-Sheng Creation Spring on Xuanyin Peak.

"Junior Sister, come, drink this."

Lu Changning carefully scooped up a handful of clear, warm spring water with a jade bowl and handed it to Xia Yingying.

This jade bowl was a special Magic Treasure; it looked small, but its capacity was quite large.

Xia Yingying took it as instructed, tilted her head back, and drank all the spring water.

In an instant, pure and majestic life energy enveloped her entire body!

The thick, ink-black erosion qi on Xia Yingying's body was forcibly stripped from her by the purifying power contained in the spring water.

"Ah..."

Xia Yingying couldn't help but let out a soft moan. It wasn't pain, but an extreme sense of relief as the heavy filth that had accumulated for a long time was completely washed away.

Her pale face became rosy and healthy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally dull skin also took on a warm glow.

Just as the erosion qi was completely cleared and her body was lighter and purer than ever before, Xia Yingying's eyes suddenly widened.

She clearly felt that deep within her Sea of Consciousness, that cold white light that had been silent for a long time... seemed to move slightly!

"Sister Xinxi?!"

"Sister Xinxi?!"

She couldn't help but call out in her heart.

However, there was silence within her Sea of Consciousness, with no further response.

"Junior Sister? Junior Sister? What's wrong?"

Seeing her strange expression, staring blankly after her eyes widened, Lu Changning called her three times.

"Ah? Senior Sister Lu?"

Xia Yingying suddenly snapped back to her senses.

"Are you okay? I saw you just now..." Lu Changning asked with concern. "No, it's nothing!"

Xia Yingying quickly shook her head, forcing a smile onto her small face.

"It's just... I just didn't expect it to feel so comfortable after removing the erosion qi..."

Looking at Senior Sister Lu who was sincerely concerned about her, that warmth and kindness reminded her of Sister Sisi when they first met.

She really wanted to share the matter of Sister Xinxi, but the cold vow immediately surfaced in her mind—she must never tell anyone about her existence.

Xia Yingying pursed her lips and swallowed the words that had almost escaped her.

"Yes, that's exactly the feeling! After the erosion qi is gone, your whole body feels light and airy, especially comfortable!"

Having experienced the removal of erosion qi herself, Lu Changning nodded vigorously in agreement, her eyes sparkling.

This sense of refreshment from the inside out instantly made her think of... think of that night in the kitchen, when she was k... by Revered Master.

"Boom!"

As soon as this thought popped up, Lu Changning felt a rush of blood go straight to her head. Her small face instantly turned beet red, and even her small earlobes turned pink.

"Senior Sister Lu? Senior Sister Lu?!"

Now it was Xia Yingying's turn to look in confusion at her Senior Sister, whose face was suddenly red down to her neck and who was clearly distracted.

"Ah?! Junior Sister, go ahead."

"Senior Sister Lu,"

Xia Yingying blinked her clear eyes, with a hint of the bewilderment and expectation of a newcomer.

"Now that the erosion qi is gone, where are we going?"

"Where... where are we going?"

Lu Changning was suddenly stumped. Revered Master had only told her to bring the Junior Sister to remove the erosion qi. What then? What should they do next? Arrange a place to stay? Get a waist token? Or go see someone? Revered Master hadn't mentioned anything at all!

"..."

Looking at the innocent Junior Sister in front of her, who was looking at her with eyes full of trust, Lu Changning felt her scalp tingle. An unprecedented "burden of responsibility" weighed down on her, leaving her at a loss.

Was being a Senior Sister... this difficult?

Sect Main Hall.

Yu Lingshuang's cool gaze swept over Ling Hao, the corners of her lips curving slightly:

"What? My Great Sect Master Ling, have you taken a fancy to that new little Disciple on the top floor?"

Ling Hao smiled and looked at the beauty beside him. Although Yu Lingshuang had already tidied her appearance and changed into solemn robes, a trace of faint red still remained on her cold face. Under the wide robes, the edge of her skirt would occasionally catch a hint of an unnatural tremor.

Ling Hao knew in his heart that this seemingly icy Deputy Sect Master had no anger in her eyes at the moment; she was just "getting back" at him a little.

Whether it was Sect affairs or those more "in-depth" requests, such as "investigating the golden lotus" at the bottom of Chenbi Bay, or "calibrating the star tracks" at the star-gazing platform on Moonshadow Mountain...

Regarding his "official business" that always carried flirtatious subtexts, this Fairy Shuang, who seemed to keep people a thousand miles away, actually yielded every time, never truly able to harden her heart to refuse.

"She is a Dual soul in one body," Ling Hao said seriously.

"Dual soul in one body?" Yu Lingshuang's willow-like brows furrowed.

Ling Hao nodded:

"This new Disciple's loyalty is very high, but that 'Disciple' inside her body... is hard to say."

Yu Lingshuang frowned: "Then we..."

Before she could finish, the Disciple on duty shouted in surprise:

"Eldest Senior Sister is back!"

"Eldest Senior Sister returns in triumph!"

Ling Hao and Yu Lingshuang looked up. In the sky, five huge Cloud Whale Spirit Ships were breaking through the clouds, their pressure majestic.

Not long after, a pink figure descended from the sky, ignoring everything, and lunged straight into Ling Hao's arms!

"Revered Master! I missed you so much!"

Ling Hao was prepared and opened his arms to catch this "human cannonball" steadily.

Under the huge impact, his figure didn't move at all. One large hand naturally supported her tight and perky buttocks and thighs, while the other arm circled her slender but powerful waist, fixing her firmly in his embrace.

The girl's vibrant body was pressed tightly against him, her rich fragrance mixed with the scent of travel dust drifting into his nose.

Ling Hao looked helpless.

"I regret it. I really shouldn't have taken you as my First Disciple."

"I don't care! I just want Revered Master!"

Chi Wanhe ignored all of this, her arms tightly circling Ling Hao's neck, her hot little face buried deep in the crook of his neck, rubbing vigorously as if she wanted to rub herself into him, completely disregarding Yu Lingshuang's slightly uncomfortable gaze nearby, and not even noticing Qin Zhaoxue and Du Yuqing who followed closely behind.

This intimate rubbing only lasted for a few breaths when Chi Wanhe's beautiful nose, buried in Ling Hao's neck, suddenly sniffed gently, and her body instantly tensed up.

She suddenly lifted her head, her gaze sweeping over the teeth marks on the side of Ling Hao's neck, and then turned her gaze toward Yu Lingshuang, who was standing with Chi Shuying.

The two were currently discussing the specific situation of suppressing the Erosion Tide this time.

Ling Hao: "..."

This Eldest Disciple of his really was like a dog. The last time with Huang Yutong at Haoran Tower, she had discovered it the same way.
