While Lu Li was still competing, Mu Qingque watched the games almost every day while lying in bed. Over the past two weeks, the blankets on the bed had been bunched up into a ball, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Upon seeing this, Lu Li quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"No, I'll install it myself later."

"What? You're worried, afraid I'll see your naked body?"

"Hey, don't be so mushy."

A cultivator's body cannot be shown to just anyone, especially a puppet body like Lu Li's. Things like opening one's heart and lungs can only be done by the closest people.

The artifact is a cultivator's greatest reliance. To show one's heart is to expose one's trump card. Once exposed, it is as if one has been given a handle to exploit, making it easy for others to find ways to target and restrain one.

Previously, when Mu Qingque traded the Sixth-Rank Residual Formula with Lu Li, she also signed a Dao Oath with Lu Li, promising not to resell it to others, and this was the reason.

Referring to the diagram of Qingling Yanhuang, Luli will use this Ice Spirit Core in the core artifact, the Permafrost Machine, which means she will stuff it into her kidney.

You can't just show your kidneys to anyone; what if they get injured?

"Fine, fine, if you don't want to pretend, then don't. Humph, then come walk with me."

"Well... okay. Aren't you going to participate in the Earth Group competition tomorrow? Why don't you get some rest?"

"Just take that competition casually, don't worry too much. It's all about participation. Come on, come on, it's a rare opportunity to come out. I heard that the baked pears in Shuiyue City next door are delicious."

Baked pear?

This was a dish name I'd never heard of before, but since it contained the word "pear," it couldn't be too bad. Lu Ling searched the Heavenly Realm and quickly found the answer:

"Sister, this stuff costs 15,000 spirit stones a share! My goodness!"

"What the hell? Robbery? Fifteen thousand? Are you robbing me?"

Then, as if she had seen a certain passage, Lu Ling read it aloud:

"Baked pear is a dessert from Mengjiang that inherits culinary wisdom over thousands of years, possessing both spiritual value and a gentle, smooth taste. Its history is long and rich, with records of baked pears dating back to the time of the Orange Fairy..."

"Stop, stop, stop, get to the point."

"Aba aba... Okay, I'll give you the clearest and most concise summary."

"Don't talk like a bean stalk!"

Lu Ling playfully stuck out her tongue, smiled sheepishly, and then continued:

"Hehehe, the main ingredient of this dessert is the Wanzai Sacred Pear, so it's very expensive. Rather than a dessert, it's more like this thing has reached the level of an elixir."

The Ten-Thousand-Year Sacred Pear is taken from a sacred pear tree that is ten thousand years old. Having spanned ten thousand years, the pear tree has long since become a spirit, even older than many cultivators.

Legend has it that pears of this quality ripen only once every thousand years, and selling for ten thousand spirit stones doesn't seem impossible.

But she just couldn't bring herself to eat the pear. She couldn't even bear to buy a thousand-year-old immortal pear, let alone a ten-thousand-year-old sacred pear.

Seemingly seeing through Lu Li's thoughts, Mu Qingque chuckled and said:

"Come on, it's on me. Just come with me for a walk. I've been lying in the Summer Palace for half a month and I'm almost moldy."

"Gudong~"

Lu Li swallowed hard. Although she really wanted to go back to sleep, it was the Sacred Pear of Ten Thousand Years.

Chapter 349 An Unforgettable Night

In principle, Luli shouldn't go out tonight, but Shengli violated her principle, so Luli decided to change it.

"Then...then come back soon."

"Okay!"

After receiving Lu Li's permission, Mu Qingque grabbed Lu Li's arm and rushed out. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two stepped out of the Summer Palace gate, a group of cultivators surrounded them.

Without exception, these cultivators all wore a memory bead on their chests, and their bodies emitted faint soul fluctuations, clearly indicating that they were constantly connected to the Heaven of Disparity.

"I am a cultivator who collects anecdotes about cultivation, Miss Lu. May I ask how you feel about winning this grand prize?"

"Miss Mu, as the master of the champion of this Human Group Tournament, do you have any secrets to cultivating such an outstanding disciple?"

"Oh, Miss Deer, I'm your dog! Can I get your autograph? Please, woof woof woof."

"Wow, there's even a dog demon!"

When Lu Li saw these people, her head buzzed and exploded. As the saying goes, people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. During the daytime conference, she was chased by these people asking her all sorts of questions, which annoyed her to no end. Who would have thought that they would still bother her when she went out at night?

In the future, when traversing the world of cultivation, one needs to be more careful to conceal one's identity, otherwise, as today, trouble will arise unnecessarily and become uncontrollable.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Mu Qingque swept Lu Li up in her arms, and the energy channels between her jade legs suddenly appeared, transforming into a long gust of wind that soared into the sky.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Seeing that the two were about to escape, the cultivators behind them each rode their own puppets to give chase, including some fifth-rank puppets.

But Mu Qingque's speed was too fast; in just two or three breaths, she left these people behind without a trace.

A night breeze blew into her sleeves, making Luli's skirt flutter loudly. Luli hurriedly covered the billowing skirt, protesting:

"Too fast! Slow down, please!"

"What are you afraid of? You have iron underwear down there, and there's no one around, so no one will see you."

Lu Li suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken off her underpants yet, and that her Taiyin Palace was still sealed.

"Can you slow down a bit!"

"What did you say? It's too windy here, I can't hear you, hahahahaha!"

The night wind howled, the moonlight was like water, and the continuous mountains rushed past below, appearing one second and disappearing into the distance the next.

Lu Li had never been this fast before. Even when she used all her strength to activate the Three Thousand Threads of Cloud, she could not achieve such speed.

Lu Li looked down and saw Mu Qingque's jade feet shimmering with cyan light patterns, which were the traces of the Wind Dao.

Under the influence of these Dao traces, these seemingly weak and powerless jade feet are comparable to a sixth-level flying puppet.

In my ears, besides the howling of the night wind, there was only the sound of silvery laughter.

Gradually, Lu Li adapted to the speed of flight. She stared ahead, her eyes sparkling, her spiritual pivot operating rapidly. She silently recorded the scenery at this moment and always looked forward to the next scene.

Those with profound cultivation ride the wind and depart, leaving all the scenery as fleeting shadows; the higher one climbs, the colder it gets.

Now that's what a cultivator should be like!

This is what cultivating immortality should be like!

Is cultivating immortality merely for revenge? For some reason, Lu Li felt a surge of emotion, and she thought of many things.

Lu Li couldn't help but recall the past, remembering the first time she rowed a boat on the Liubao River to collect miscellaneous minerals for spirit stones that night.

She could no longer remember how many spirit stones she had earned that night, but she did remember the sight of the starry sky reflected in the water.

At this moment, Lu Li seemed to have transformed back into that desperate fugitive, whose kidneys were once worth only three spirit stones.

The scenery of the past passed by quickly, and soon she entered the White Moon Palace. Lu Li would never forget the conversation in the outhouse behind the White Moon Palace.

"Senior sister, what have we been studying so hard and cultivating ourselves to this day, for what purpose?"

"Go to the ancestral hall in my hometown to offer some fruit."

"Senior sister! I'm asking, what have we been working so hard every day, cultivating all this way, for?"

"Go back to the ancestral hall in my hometown to offer fruit."

Lu Li took a deep breath, inhaling the dusty night wind into her lungs. The Aikido easily filtered out the dust, and Lu Li felt that the air outside was exceptionally fresh.

For some time now, she has been immersed in cultivation, thinking about how to escape the pursuit of her enemies, worrying about how she will survive, and even in her dreams she has to deduce the mechanical artifacts, unable to have a moment of peace.

She hadn't looked at this world for a very long time. It wasn't a beautiful world, because there were just too many beastly immortal clans that she couldn't kill them all. As a result, Lu Li had forgotten the beautiful side of this world.

After a long while, Lu Li shook her head, her thoughts returning to the present, and said somewhat blankly:

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's go to town and get some baked pears. Hey, have you gone mad from drinking too much air? It's only been a short time. Should I slow down?"

"No, no need, no, I was just thinking about something. You can—go faster."

"Do you need to change positions? You can get on my back."

After saying that, Mu Qingque carried Lu Li on her back. Lu Li wrapped her legs around Mu Qingque's slender waist, and a defensive magic array slowly lit up in front of Mu Qingque.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

"it is good."

Mu Qingque took a step in mid-air, and a sonic boom suddenly rang out. Divine light shone even more brightly on her slender feet, illuminating the night sky in an instant.

The speed increased until finally, a bustling city came into view.

That is Water Moon City.

The two disguised themselves and entered the city. They went to the most prosperous restaurant in the city, and Lu Li finally got to eat baked pear. The baked pear was delicious, in short, it was very delicious.

The Wanzai Sacred Pear was dug up and its seeds were removed. Various precious spiritual ingredients were added to the broth, and after being simmered for forty-nine days, the essence of the broth was completely absorbed by the Wanzai Sacred Pear, and the originally snow-white pear flesh turned into an amber luster.

Lu Li picked up a spoon, took a small bite, and shared the sensation with Lu Ling, savoring the taste.

At first, there is only a faint sweetness spreading on the tip of the tongue. The pear flesh has already been stewed until it is soft and tender, so there is no need to chew it. Just press the pear flesh against your tongue and gently push it against your palate, and the pear flesh will turn into a thick juice.

Then, these juices flowed down the throat and esophagus, transforming into a pure force that surged throughout the body.

If possible, Lu Li even wants to record the taste of this moment, so that if she can't eat this kind of dessert in the future, she can take it out and taste it repeatedly, even if it's just to taste the flavor.

Unfortunately, this puppet body does not have this function.

Lu Li knew very well that she might not have the chance to eat such a pear for a long time to come.

Or, to put it more pessimistically, her future achievements will be limited, and she will never be able to enjoy such a pear again.

Many years later, she would remember that night, when a girl led her through the crowds and the night, just to give her a bite of baked pear.

Chapter 350 Lu Ling is going to become a Soul Fighting Master!

While enjoying her baked pear, Lu Li swung her legs, completely unaware of Lu Ling's expression.

The little girl had no interest in tasting the baked pear and had long since severed her connection with the deer pear. Her cheeks were puffed up with anger, and she hugged her knees, shrinking into a dark corner of her mind.

Before her stood a projection, the outside world's scenes perceived through the Ice Soul Spirit Eyes and transmitted to the Great Dream Pivot, ultimately appearing before Lu Ling's eyes.

The scene shows a lavishly decorated private room, with a pretty young woman with blue hair sitting opposite her. She is wearing an elegant long dress with a blue and white intertwined design.

Her lips curled slightly upward, her eyebrows curved slightly downward, and deep within her pale golden eyes, a pair of golden five-petaled flower patterns were revealed, making her look unusual yet beautiful.

It's hard to imagine that this girl, who looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, is actually one of the Supreme Elders of the Lingxi Sect, a monster with one foot in the Void Refining Realm.

At this moment, after he finished eating the baked pear, the girl sitting opposite him smiled brightly, picked up a small spoon, scooped out a bite of baked pear, and held it directly below his line of sight, right next to Lu Li's mouth.

"what--"

The angle was slightly tilted, clearly showing Lu Li turning her head away, but she only resisted slightly before finally swallowing the baked pear into her stomach.

Crunch crunch~

Seeing this, Lu Ling pursed her lips tightly, her teeth grinding together.

Despicable! Shameless! Vulgar!

She even went so far as to push her luck, not content with just eating her own food, she actually used the spoon she had used to feed her sister.

If she could, she really wanted to manipulate Lu Li's body and slap this filthy woman who was taking advantage of her young lover.

However, Lu Ling was helpless, because Mu Qingque and Qing Kui were different.

Qingkui may only have a cooperative relationship with Luli, and his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Crafting Realm. In terms of background, he doesn't really have any special background, so he shouldn't pose much of a threat.

But Mu Qingque is different. She is in the late stage of the Heavenly Crafting Realm and half a step into the Void Refining Realm. Her combat power is far more than that, and her background is unfathomable.

Most importantly, she and Lu Li seem to have a really good relationship. They have traded so many times. They clearly call each other master and disciple in public, but they are like Daoist partners in private.

What's most infuriating is that he had previously invited Lu Li to bed, saying he would help her install a computer.

This is outrageous! If they dare to be all lovey-dovey today, they'll dare to trick their silly older sister into bed tomorrow. If this continues, their older sister will be snatched away sooner or later!

Crunch crunch~

Lu Ling bit harder and harder, her pearly teeth almost crushed, and a red flush gradually rose around her eyes. Every bite Mu Qingque fed her felt like a claw scratching at her heart, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
