Heroine, don't turn back, I'm just a farmer.

With a thought, and with Ming Suxue's clever cooperation, Lu Guo quickly poured his true energy into the pot.

As their true energies intersected, they slowly transformed. He felt that his own true energy was not significantly depleted, while the wisps of true essence that seemed extremely detrimental to Ming Suxue's true energy continuously merged into his.

"No wonder the art of dual cultivation is so highly praised."

He was somewhat shocked.

After exchanging words with Ming Suxue for a short while, he could immediately feel that his true qi cultivation had improved.

It's easy to imagine how great the benefits of this dual cultivation are.

"It works. With this kind of clearing, there's no need to endure the torment of boiling internal energy anymore."

Ming Suxue could also clearly feel the changes in her true energy, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.

The person she dreamed about during her visualization, the nemesis who always tormented her in the dream, is now sitting by her bedside, helping her regulate her vital energy.

For some inexplicable reason, she glanced at Lu Guo.

The little guy has his eyes closed, I wonder what he's thinking?

With a thought, the internal energy within her body instantly became mischievous.

"Um?"

Lu Guo paused in his breathing, and he immediately sensed the change.

He felt Ming Suxue's true energy instantly become more active.

Sometimes it would playfully wander away, preventing his true energy from touching it; other times it would actively throw itself into his arms, enveloping him in large clumps, as if trying to swallow his true energy; and still other times it would transform into several strands of true energy, coiling around his true energy and constantly pulling it.

Lu Guo: "..."

This woman is indeed a vixen, with a heart as venomous as a snake.

Lu Guo suddenly felt a headache coming on. He couldn't tell whether Ming Suxue was doing it on purpose or if it was just an unusual phenomenon caused by the boiling of her internal energy.

Or perhaps, she was deliberately teasing him?

Lu Guo felt he couldn't resist such teasing.

This Lady Xue is truly a heartless and ruthless person, capable of devouring people without spitting out the bones. She is extremely dangerous.

A mature, voluptuous woman dressed in a cool and aloof manner had an ascetic face, but in reality, she harbored a seductive and alluring demon of desire.

Who can stand this.

In the current situation, proper dual cultivation of true qi would not involve such close contact; at most, it would be just palms facing each other. He was clearly trying to save someone, but this alluring Lady Xue had somehow turned it into an improper and erotic affair, and every breath was a battle between heaven and man.

However, after nearly midnight of true essence transformation, Lu Guo found that his true essence had become much stronger, while Ming Suxue, as the absorber, felt it more realistically and thoroughly.

More importantly, she seemed to have clearly grasped and understood the intricacies of the matter, knowing that Lu Guo's true energy was beneficial to her, so she no longer held back and took the initiative to guide her true energy.

Not only did the true energy become more thoroughly entangled, but at the same time, some of the true energy also moved erratically.

That's not all. The real problem is that Ming Suxue sometimes pretends to be in pain, pursing her lips and forcing a smile, while letting out a faint, almost imperceptible groan of pain.

This kills two birds with one stone!

Moreover, even though she's secretly doing bad things, she still maintains a dignified and calm demeanor on the surface, and her eyes can even speak volumes!

Every time Lu Guo accidentally glanced into her eyes, he felt a hint of resentment in her clear gaze.

I didn't do anything!

I am truly innocent!

But the key is that he can only accept Ming Suxue's "teasing," since her expression doesn't reveal any inner thoughts, perfectly matching his aloof persona.

Of course, Lu Guo also benefited. He discovered that by cultivating with Ming Suxue, he could transform [Mysterious Female Yang] True Qi, and this transformation was faster than his own cultivation by absorbing True Qi and exhaling it.

In some ways, Ming Suxue is now his biggest asset.

After converting all the acquired Xuanpin True Qi, his strength will reach a new level.

Of course, Lu Guo didn't want to do nothing in response to Ming Suxue's probing. When her true energy entangled him again, he suddenly rammed his true energy into the softest spot of that true energy.

"Hmm!"

Ming Suxue suddenly opened her eyes and glared fiercely at Lu Guo.

The moment she looked away, even with her composed demeanor, her ears turned slightly red.

"This kid, he actually dared to do it."

……

The sun is rising.

Lu Guo got up early.

Bare-chested, he circulated the "Heavenly Demon Manual" in the courtyard, moving his Qi and blood while making gurgling sounds.

When the sound first arose, it seemed to originate only in the throat.

But after only a dozen breaths, the voice seemed to come from deep within his flesh and internal organs, accompanied by the breath of qi, and streams of true qi began to temper his body.

After a night of dual cultivation, he felt full of energy and couldn't help but strike a pose again. He glanced at the muscles bulging on his body and made some movements until he started sweating before stopping.

Although it is said to stop, it is not an immediate cessation. Instead, one continues to circulate Qi while sitting cross-legged, emptying the mind.

The manor was eerily quiet. He felt his senses magnify and he could faintly hear some sounds.

It was a sound like a flute, peaceful and serene, yet it contained a profound and compassionate sentiment. It was hard to describe the feeling. The sound was very soft, as if it came from a very distant place, or as if it came from his heart, giving people a strange feeling.

Lu Guo was startled and snapped out of his reverie by the transcendent music.

What is that sound?

Just as I was listening, I heard footsteps behind me.

"Young master, the lady is calling for you."

The one who came was Madam Xue's personal maid, the one who had bathed with him earlier.

Lu Guo took the handkerchief she handed him and wiped his sweat. As if suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Did you hear anything just now?"

"I didn't hear any sound."

"Is that so? Go downstairs and cook some porridge for Madam and bring it over. I'll be relying on you for my daily needs from now on."

"Peach Garden's favorability +3".

Lu Guo: "..."

After letting Tao Yuan leave, Lu Guo put on his clothes by himself, wondering where the plaintive music he heard was coming from.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. If it were because of me, I would definitely hear it again.

Quiet room.

Ming Suxue's face was still flushed.

With her strong will, she simply couldn't bear the feeling of still being in a certain afterglow, which made her wish she could kill Lu Guo with her own hands.

But when it comes to actually doing it, I'm reluctant to.

"Aunt Liu..."

Lu Guo walked into the room and saw Ming Suxue holding a letter. Looking at the expression on her face, he immediately felt that his usually dignified and beautiful Aunt Liu was acting very strangely. Her gaze seemed to say, "Why don't you just kill him?"

She truly has the heart of a viper.

"Aunt Liu, is there something wrong with the cultivation method you're practicing?"

Lu Guo hesitated for a moment, thinking that Ming Suxue had noticed the problem with the technique, and then asked directly.

Ming Suxue seemed to remember something, and suddenly her body trembled.

Could it be that after practicing this method, one will see someone in their dreams who can alleviate this abnormality in true qi?

Gong Luoshen, like her, cultivated this technique. If it was because of this technique that she had made love with Lu Guo in her dream, then what about her empress dowager, who was as close as a sister to her...?

In the letter, Gong Luoshen talked about the problems she had encountered with her cultivation technique these past few days and mentioned some strange things. This made her wonder if Gong Luoshen had also dreamed about what she had dreamed about.

It seems I must find an opportunity to visit Luoyi.
