Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

10:00 AM.

The sunlight had already climbed to the ceiling, making the room bright and airy.

Rose pleaded desperately for a rest.

She ran to the bathroom, leaned against the sink, and gasped for breath.

I looked up and saw my face was flushed in the mirror.

Her hair was a mess, and her neck was covered in hickeys.

She wiped the corner of her mouth.

She was just trying to find a way to escape Lin Xuan's clutches.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan arrived right after.

"you…"

Rose almost cried.

If it weren't for her incredibly strong physique as a martial artist, she probably would have fainted by now!

Even so.

Her legs were trembling and her feet felt unsteady.

Lin Xuan hugged her from behind, chuckled, and rested his chin on her shoulder:

"It's almost time. I feel like I'll break through soon."

"Lin Xuan, I am not a tool for your cultivation!!"

Rose opened her mouth angrily and struggled, but she couldn't break free at all.

"Oh? So what was I in your eyes before?"

Rose was speechless.

It seems so...

tool.

Wasn't the reason I approached him before because of the heat flowing through his body?

Isn't it also about wanting to get warmth from him?

Lin Xuan ignored her, gently picked her up, lifted her up, and placed her on the sink.

The marble countertop is cold.

Rose hissed and instinctively clamped her legs around his waist.

"What...do you want?"

Rose's voice trembled, and her eyes widened.

"Yes, but it's here."

Lin Xuan smiled and closed the bathroom door.

"you!!"

The rose's powerlessness and helplessness.

.

Noon.

Rose lay sprawled out on the bed.

Looking at the ceiling.

She thought about it for a long time.

What is the meaning of life?

she does not know.

All she knew was that she hadn't slept a wink since last night.

Lin Xuan stood by the bed, getting dressed.

His movements were unhurried: buttoning up, zipping up, and adjusting his collar.

He was full of energy, as if he had just finished his morning exercise.

"Don't... come back."

Rose spoke weakly, her voice strangely hoarse.

She didn't even dare to look at Lin Xuan, fearing that this beast would unleash his animalistic nature again.

From last night until now...

Those images, those sounds, those feelings are etched into my mind, impossible to forget.

Every time I recall it, my body trembles involuntarily.

Lin Xuan smiled, a smile that shone brightly in the morning light, yet made Rose feel uneasy.

"Don't run away."

His tone left no room for argument.

"Otherwise, I won't help you next time."

He finished dressing, straightened his collar, and continued speaking:

"I'm going to the cafeteria to get my food. I'll eat in a bit and then continue this afternoon."

He was really looking forward to it!

I had a feeling that if I had another half day, I would definitely be able to break through!

The fourth level of Qi Refining is what ancient martial artists refer to as the fourth stage.

During yesterday's battle.

The two also occasionally talked about other things.

Among these issues is the question of this level of understanding.

The transition from the third to the fourth order is a significant hurdle.

Cross over there, and you'll find yourself in a completely different world.

Rose pursed her lips, and two lines of crystal tears streamed down her face.

The tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the pillow, leaving a small wet patch.

"You...you're not human!"

She turned her head away and buried her face in the pillow.

"Don't you already know whether he's human or not?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips: "Let's go!"

With that, Lin Xuan left the room, closed the door, and his footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

The room fell silent.

Rose lay motionless on the bed.

After a long while, she slowly turned over.

Her eyes were still red, and tears still clung to her eyelashes, but the expression on her face had changed.

It wasn't resentment, nor anger.

It is a kind of inexplicable complexity.

She really didn't intend to leave.

Lin Xuan is right.

Perhaps if I cultivate with him, he will improve his strength.

But for him, it was a lifesaver!

That bone-chilling cold, that year-round icy chill, could only be relieved by his presence.

His true essence!

It can melt the ice inside her body.

This was something she had never encountered before!

Although the body is extremely exhausted.

But Rose had a premonition that she was stuck at the fifth-tier bottleneck for a year.

Things will probably loosen up soon!

That seemingly impenetrable barrier is thinning.

This kid…

"From now on... I'm afraid I won't be able to live without him."

Rose opened her mouth weakly.

She closed her eyes, and Lin Xuan's face appeared in her mind.

She sighed, pulled the blanket up, and covered her face.

.

The canteen downstairs at the base.

The cafeteria is very large and can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

The window was filled with a variety of dishes, both meat and vegetarian, all steaming hot.

It was lunchtime.

Groups of two or three people sat in different spots, chatting animatedly.

As soon as Lin Xuan came down, he saw Xiao Jin.

Even though he was sitting in the corner, his big frame was still the most eye-catching one.

He was twice the width of an average person, and when he sat there, he looked like a small mountain.

The surrounding tables all seemed too small.

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he got a meal and went over.

He carried the tray, walked across several tables, and came to the table opposite Xiao Jin.

"Little Jin!"

Upon approaching, Lin Xuan greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Jin looked up and saw Lin Xuan. He grinned.

That smile was honest and sincere.

Especially her bright white teeth, which look so festive.

This is an honest and kind child.

Although he was large, he was probably only just an adult, and he always had a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile on his face, giving people the impression of a big, silly guy.

"Lin Xuan, welcome to our team! We're partners now!"

Xiao Jin touched his forehead and spoke with a smile.

His voice was muffled, as if it came from his chest.

"Absolutely!"

Lin Xuan sat down and placed the plate on the table.

"By the way, where were you the other day? I didn't see you at the base."

He asked while eating his rice.

Exercise consumes too much energy, so I need to replenish it quickly.

They shoveled large mouthfuls of rice into their mouths and ate the vegetables quickly as well.

"I went to escort supplies a couple of days ago and just got back this morning."

Xiao Jin also lowered his head and ate, eating even faster than Lin Xuan.

"Escorting supplies?"

Lin Xuan became interested upon hearing this.

He put down his chopsticks, looked up at Xiao Jin.

"Um."

Xiao Jin swallowed a mouthful of rice and nodded.

"Our base needs a lot of special supplies, which need to be transported here from other places every once in a while, and then some are transported out again. We need ancient martial arts practitioners to be in charge."

Xiao Jin explained very patiently, without any intention of hiding anything.

His tone was very plain, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"Special supplies, like the spiritual liquid I used before?"

"Mmm, pretty much!"

Xiao Jin took another bite of rice.

"The elixir is a finished product. We transport raw materials from different regions, and then our researchers process them into finished products. Some are used by ourselves, and some are sold to others."

"Still selling?"

Lin Xuan then became truly interested, his eyes lighting up.
