The girl stopped, looked around, and her gaze lingered on the cave.

"People from the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

Hongxiu tucked the package behind her back and walked forward with a stiff upper lip.

"Senior, over here..."

"Get out of the way."

The girl didn't even glance at her twice before walking inside.

Hongxiu quickly spread her arms to block the entrance to the cave.

"You can't go in here!"

The sword intent emanated once more, and Hongxiu's scalp instantly tingled.

"I sense Shen Luoxia's presence," the girl stopped, frowning as she glanced at her. "You're just a Qi Refining stage cultivator, blocking this way. Who are you risking your life for?"

Hongxiu gritted her teeth and stubbornly held on.

"Miss Shen is injured. My young master is... is inside treating her, no, guarding her, no, he's..."

Suddenly, footsteps came from inside the cave.

Hongxiu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and hopped half a step to the side.

Chu Feng emerged from the cave, his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking refreshed.

He glanced at the girl with a fierce sword aura standing in front of the cave entrance and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, another one."

The girl's hand rested on the hilt of the sword.

"Who are you."

"Chu Feng, an inner disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, mid-stage Golden Core, currently not accepting disciples," Chu Feng leaned against the stone wall at the cave entrance. "And you?"

The girl clearly didn't want to say more. With a flick of her wrist, her longsword was drawn three inches from its sheath and aimed directly at Chu Feng.

"Give me back Shen Luoxia, or die."

Chu Feng extended two fingers, and the light was caught between them, stopping three inches in front of his nose.

Silence fell over the cave entrance.

The girl looked down at her sword, which was caught in the grip, then looked up at Chu Feng, who had a calm expression on his face, and suddenly tightened her grip on her wrist.

The sword remained completely still.

"Wow, that's pretty strong," Chu Feng flicked the sword with his finger, causing it to hum. "But the direction is wrong. I'm trying to help you, why are you attacking me with your sword?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than footsteps echoed from inside the cave once more.

Shen Luoxia came out.

Her fiery red dress was still disheveled, and her hair was a little messy, but her complexion was rosy and she looked unsteady, a stark contrast to her deathly appearance before entering the cave.

She glanced at Chu Feng first, her eyes filled with complex emotions, then looked at the girl and spoke.

"Qin Shuang, stop."

Qin Shuang's sword energy instantly retracted.

She sheathed her longsword, strode up to Shen Luoxia, and pressed her hand on her shoulder. "Your injury..."

"alright."

"What about the meridians?"

"That's settled then."

Qin Shuang's gaze slowly slid away from Shen Luoxia's face and looked at Chu Feng beside her.

She is not a fool.

Since I came in, I've been able to smell the scent of photinia flowers.

Shen Luoxia's complexion, the state of being infused with fresh spiritual energy...

Her face suddenly darkened.

"What the hell did you do?"

Chu Feng the Little Bear spread his hands: "To heal the sick and save lives."

"Treat the illness?" Qin Shuang gritted her teeth, repeating the two words, "Shen Luoxia's kind of injury, can it be treated with... with that kind of method?"

"The Yin poison invades the meridians and requires pure Yang energy to counteract it," Chu Feng said with a serious expression. "If you don't believe me, go look it up in a book. The Yin-Yang Tonification Theory written by the ancient alchemist Han Que clearly records it..."

"That's enough," Qin Shuang said, her hand gripping the hilt of her sword, her expression uncomplicated.

That was murderous intent, and... jealousy.

Oh no...

Damn, that's not right, but when I did *that* with Shen Luoxia, she didn't resist...

Oh my god, she's bisexual!

Oh, yes, yes...

Shen Luoxia noticed it too, and quickly tugged at Qin Shuang's sleeve, blushing as she spoke in a low voice.

"I asked him to do it; there was no other way at the time."

"you!"

"I almost died there, Qin Shuang!"

Qin Shuang reluctantly shut her mouth.

Shen Luoxia nudged her and whispered something to her.

Chu Feng didn't go over.

But when he saw Shen Luoxia whispering to Qin Shuang, the tips of Qin Shuang's ears slowly turned red, and her expression became very complicated.

Hongxiu stood to the side, staring at the two of them. After pondering for a while, she quietly moved closer to Chu Feng's side.

"Young master, those two..."

"Don't ask, and don't look too much," Chu Feng waved his hand. "You don't understand the world of the rich."

Hongxiu finally finished speaking.

Qin Shuang finally looked up from Shen Luoxia's ear, her face still grim, but the killing intent in her eyes had clearly weakened.

She stared at Chu Feng for a while, then gritted her teeth and said.

"you!"

"Um?"

"You..." Qin Shuang took a deep breath, "How can you guarantee that Shen Luoxia won't cause any trouble later?"

Chu Feng was so angry he laughed.

"Damn, I'm not charging you a single penny, and I'm still giving you a warranty?"

"Not only is she free of future troubles, but her cultivation has also improved. See for yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuang turned her head towards Shen Luoxia.

He has successfully formed his core and entered the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, his spiritual meridians were unblocked, and the feeling of stagnation in his blood and qi after being poisoned completely disappeared.

She remained silent for a moment, then turned her gaze back to Chu Feng.

"...This technique is beneficial to both sides?"

"Indeed," Chu Feng nodded, his face sincere, "mutual benefit, sustainable development, it's a virtuous cycle."

Qin Shuang's ear tips turned a little redder, and Shen Luoxia immediately turned her head away, pretending to look elsewhere.

Seeing her young master so resolute, Hongxiu straightened her back and looked straight ahead.

The cave entrance was quiet for a moment again.

Finally, Qin Shuang snorted coldly, tucked her longsword into her waistband, and turned around.

"snort!"

Chu Feng understands what you mean.

It means I'm letting this matter go, but that doesn't mean I admit it. You better remember this!

never mind,

Shen Luoxia tidied her hair and walked over. Although her face was still slightly flushed, her voice was much more stable.

"Chu Feng, I, Shen Luoxia, will remember your life-saving grace."

"No need to remember," Chu Feng took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over. "I've taken care of the storage bag of your senior brother from the Southern Ming Sect who chased after us. That settles things."

Shen Luoxia took the jade slip, her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything.

It wasn't any special jade slip; it was just for transmitting messages.

Chu Feng put the other identical one into his sleeve.

"If you need anything, just ask me. This is the most reliable way to use this in the secret realm."

Shen Luoxia put the jade slip into her storage bag, glanced at him again, and hesitated before speaking.

In the end, he said nothing, turned around and walked towards Qin Shuang, whispering something to her.

Qin Shuang took half a step forward, and the two walked side by side.

After taking a few steps, Shen Luoxia turned around and glanced at Chu Feng.

"The ruins of Duan Yue Gate, the deepest part of the secret realm, let's go there."

Chu Feng shrugged.

"Got it. Be careful on the road, don't get sold out and still be counting the money for the seller."

Shen Luoxia rolled her eyes at him slightly, then turned and left.

Qin Shuang finally stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked Chu Feng up and down.

"Flowing Cloud Sect, Chu Feng," she murmured to herself, "I've got it."

After saying that, he followed in Shen Luoxia's footsteps.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the forest deep in the valley, vanishing into the pervasive spiritual mist.
