366: Chapter 366 Qingyang Wanxi

The night was deep, and the moonlight was like water.

Shui Wanqing sat quietly in her quarters, her delicate brows tightly knitted.

Relying on the "Nine Nether Yellow Springs Soul-Suppressing Canon" and her own cultivation, she was enough to suppress that Yellow Springs Death Qi, but this was not a long-term solution.

A thought quietly slipped through her mind—this seemed to... give her a legitimate reason to seek the Sect Master's help with... Dual Cultivation?

Inside the tower, Ling Hao was preparing to go to the Moonshadow World for his daily tasks, when he suddenly turned his head to look outside the door.

Shui Wanqing pushed the door open and entered.

When Ling Hao's gaze fell upon her, he paused slightly.

Tonight, she was different from usual.

She wore a simple and elegant moon-white merfolk silk outer robe, the garment being thinner and softer than usual, outlining her voluptuous and graceful figure.

Her exposed skin glowed with a moist luster, and a water-blue dudou was vaguely visible, wrapping around that magnificent abundance.

On the silky brocade of the dudou, a pair of lifelike twin lotus flowers were embroidered, their petals full and spread out, just covering the peaks; ribbons wrapped around her swan-like neck and slender waist, tied into an exquisite knot at the back, setting off the full curves to be even more breathtaking.

Her long hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands falling by her cheeks, adding a touch of laziness and gentleness.

Is she delivering herself to my doorstep?

Before Ling Hao could speak, Shui Wanqing spoke first.

"Is it really like this?"

After listening to Shui Wanqing's words and taking another look at her attire, Ling Hao gave a light chuckle and pulled her into his embrace.

"Wanqing, it seems you have come prepared."

Shui Wanqing's ears turned slightly red, and she let Ling Hao do as he pleased.

"This is the only thing I could think of."

Ling Hao thought for a moment, "I can first guide a portion of the Death Qi Origin into my body and forcibly refine it, thereby weakening its root."

Shui Wanqing was shocked upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with worry, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover her slightly open lapel.

"Guide Death Qi into your body? That's too dangerous! What if it hurts you... After Dual Cultivation with you, couldn't it be changed..."

"It is fine."

Ling Hao interrupted her, directly reaching out to touch... and smiled wickedly.

"No matter which method, it requires us to be completely open with each other, with our Origins deeply fused, isn't that right?"

Shui Wanqing's body trembled slightly, and she nodded gently: "Mm."

She raised her trembling hand and gently untied the ribbon of that thin outer robe; the moon-white merfolk silk slid to the floor.

Following her consent, Ling Hao's powerful Primordial Spirit strength and Chaos Spiritual Power instantly surged from his palm into her Meridians, locking onto that strand of the coldest Death Qi Origin, and began to forcibly guide it to flow toward himself!

Shui Wanqing let out a muffled groan, feeling only a powerful and irresistible force pulling at her Divine Soul and life Origin, tightly intertwining and deeply fusing with Ling Hao's power.

The chill of the Yellow Springs Death Qi deep within her Origin was forcibly intruded upon, filled, and expelled by a scorching and domineering force...

"Can you hold on?" Ling Hao asked.

She was only at the Void Refinement Stage, while Ling Hao was at the Mahayana Stage; his Chaotic Spiritual Qi was not easy to endure.

"No... no problem..."

Shui Wanqing could clearly feel the vast Chaos power within Ling Hao forcibly refining and devouring that deadly Death Qi; every counterattack of the Death Qi was steadily suppressed and transformed by him.

This process was extremely dangerous; their Origins were like a boat in a stormy sea, and every collision and Fusion of power brought a tremor deep within their Souls.

I do not know how much time passed, but that bone-deep chill finally subsided significantly.

The Death Qi that had been accumulating in Shui Wanqing's body was forcibly weakened and suppressed, and the cultivation Bottleneck that had been troubling her also faintly loosened.

After the huge pressure was lifted, what followed was relief and warmth.

"So comfortable..."

Ling Hao also breathed a slight sigh of relief, hugging her tightly, greedily absorbing her faint fragrance and sweetness while guiding the remaining Death Qi in her body.

The two embraced closely, their breaths mingling, and their life Origins collided and fused intensely at a deeper level, suppressing the Yellow Springs Death Qi.

The Chaos Spiritual Power continued to circulate within Shui Wanqing's body, each deep penetration accompanied by the disintegration of Death Qi and the bursting forth of vitality; Shui Wanqing's body tensed and relaxed accordingly, her fragrant sweat soaking the water-blue dudou.

Accompanied by a long sound, the last stubborn torrent of Death Qi was completely drawn out by Ling Hao using Chaos Qi, and refined into nothingness.

In Shui Wanqing's Meridians, Ling Hao's Chaotic Spiritual Qi slowly receded, and the two embraced, immersed in the aftertaste of their power Fusion and the tenderness of their Soul connection.

In the courtyard, Shui Liuli rested her chin in her hands, her silver hair flowing with a water-blue shimmer under the moonlight.

She gazed at the tightly closed doors of Haoran Tower; her aunt had been inside for a long time.

"It's been so long and she still hasn't come out..."

Her violet eyes blinked, and a smile suddenly curled at the corners of her mouth, "Hehe, Revered Master and Aunt...!"

Just at this moment, deep within her Sea of Consciousness, Cangming's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Next, I need to go into deep sleep for recovery. For the next period of time, I will completely block perception of the outside world, leaving only a wisp of consciousness to monitor the coordinate mark in your Divine Soul, just in case."

After speaking, that deep blue figure quickly faded and went silent.

Shui Liuli was stunned at first, then her eyes suddenly lit up! Block perception?

This means...

Inside the room, moonlight fell gently on the two people embracing.

[Ding! Detected that Shui Wanqing's loyalty has reached 100%, triggering Heaven-Defying Fate Change! Yellow Spring Holy Body has evolved into Return to Ruins Holy Body!]

The cold System notification sound rang out in Ling Hao's Sea of Consciousness.

Name: Shui Wanqing

Age: 5050

Spiritual Root: Heavenly Spiritual Root (Water)

Physique: Return to Ruins Holy Body (Yellow Spring Holy Body evolution; can autonomously convert Death Qi into pure vitality, controlling the power of the Return to Ruins Sea Eye)

Cultivation: Void Refinement Stage, 9th Layer (Bottleneck loosening)

After a moment of tenderness, Ling Hao asked in a low voice: "How do you feel?"

Shui Wanqing leaned in his arms, feeling the clarity and vast power within her body, and said lazily: "The Death Qi... has been completely suppressed and transformed. And... it is as if a profound Return to Ruins Sea Eye has been opened within my body. The Death Qi circulates within it and can actually be continuously converted into pure vitality, with no more worries of backlash."

"Good, your Realm has also reached the 9th Layer of the Void Refinement Stage; you will soon be able to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

Shui Wanqing's face was also full of joy.

After breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, in the land of the Three Prefectures, she would be able to experience the power of the Mahayana Stage!

Since she failed her Tribulation Transcendence and became a Loose Immortal, she had never thought that one day she would reach such a Realm.

And all of this was brought by the man before her.

Shui Wanqing rested her head on Ling Hao's chest and said softly: "In a few days, I want to go to the Nanli Flame Sea. A treasure map I obtained years ago points to a deep-sea ruin, where it is said that an Innate Water Spirit Essence, formed by the remnant Soul of an ancient water demon, is sealed. If I can absorb the essence of this object, it might help me break through the Bottleneck in one go."

Ling Hao stroked her smooth back: "That's fine. Why not take some Disciples with you, just as training."

Shui Wanqing obediently agreed: "Mm, I'll listen to you."

Ling Hao remembered something and asked with a smile: "Are you going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Hundred Flowers Peak tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Shui Wanqing immediately raised her head from his arms, pretended to glare at him fiercely, and said with a bit of jealousy in her tone: "I'm not going! What's the use of going? If you go, you'll definitely be surrounded by those warblers and swallows, and am I supposed to just watch?"

She knew the charm of this Sect Master too well.

Ling Hao was amused by her appearance and deliberately teased her: "What are you afraid of? You are the Grand Elder of the Wind Spirit Sect; can't you just use your privilege to drive them all away?"

"Hmph!"

Shui Wanqing snorted softly, but her jade hand quietly slid to the soft flesh on Ling Hao's waist and pinched it neither too lightly nor too heavily.

"Hiss—stop pinching!" Ling Hao took a breath exaggeratedly, "Why are you women all the same, all liking to pinch here?"

Outside the room, Shui Liuli, who was perking up her little ears to eavesdrop, couldn't help but tilt her head when she heard this, her silver hair swaying, her violet eyes filled with innocence and curiosity.

"Pinch there? Pinch where? Could it be... there?"

Her little face turned slightly red, and then she showed a puzzled expression, "But... Revered Master's cultivation is so high, will he really feel pain?"
