Chapter 79 Desert Moonlit Night
Chapter 79 Desert Moonlit Night
How could she do that!
Shu Hongyi kicked up a cloud of yellow sand, indignant.
Shu Hongyi was particularly sensitive to such blatantly unfair malice, especially since it came from someone of the same sex.
The way she glanced at Luo Sifan was also quite impolite.
"Nourishing Yin and Strengthening Yang? That 'sister' probably has her eye on you, Lin Xiaozhi!"
"That's not necessarily true..."
Luo Sifan seemed somewhat unconvinced, hesitant to speak, his expression unusually stifled.
After drinking that cup of wine, the effect was more than ten times stronger than the Marrow Spirit Liquid. Although he still wore the same long robe, his inner self had been completely transformed, and he was now a fully-fledged male.
Moreover, his desires surged like a wild horse, constantly assaulting his intellect.
Every move Shu Hongyi made, every word she spoke, every smile she gave, was like adding fuel to the fire, constantly stirring up his inner turmoil.
The woman in white was full of malice towards him, her intentions were despicable, and seemed even stronger than towards Shu Hongyi.
Shu Hongyi had no idea of the turbulent emotions surging within him, and she snorted coldly:
"Since your cultivation level hasn't decreased, why don't you just ride your sword and go by yourself? Why do you have to follow me and watch me make a fool of myself?"
Shu Hongyi's light scolding and slight anger ignited another raging fire. Luo Sifan dared not follow behind, so he simply took a few steps ahead.
Before him stretched a vast expanse of yellow sand dunes. Luo Sifan's anger subsided considerably, and without turning his head, he said:
"When you came with me, you made a vow to me. Now that such a change has occurred in this secret realm, I cannot leave you alone."
Shu Hongyi gritted her teeth, too lazy to argue with him, and used her strength to trek across the yellow sand as fast as she could.
Luo Sifan remained unhurried, standing a few feet in front of her, using seven or eight tenths of his spiritual power to suppress his inner fire.
In half a day, from midday to dusk, the two had only covered a straight-line distance of about seventy or eighty li.
"continue!"
Shu Hongyi was full of energy and unwilling to stop and rest for even a moment. When she was hungry, she would chew on a Qi-boosting pill; when she was thirsty, she would drink some water from the bottle and keep moving forward.
As night fell, under the bright moonlight, the two continued their pace at a steady pace. However, the desert temperature was dropping steadily, and the biting cold gradually made even Luo Sifan feel unwell.
With her cultivation locked, Shu Hongyi found it even harder to hold on.
Driven by her pride as a sword cultivator and her resentment towards the woman in white, Shu Hongyi endured her discomfort, pushed her physical potential to its limits, and struggled forward.
Suffering from both internal and external torment, with cold seeping into his body, he was unaware that his physical strength had reached its limit.
Luo Sifan had just noticed the unusual noise behind him and turned around in surprise when he saw Shu Hongyi swaying and falling to the ground.
Shu Hongyi's remaining consciousness was still struggling to move forward, but her legs were spinning uncontrollably.
This caused him to lose his balance and fall limply to the ground.
Luo Sifan flew past, put down the little brother in his arms, helped her up, and frowned.
It was icy to the touch. Shu Hongyi muttered incoherently, her hands and feet twitching, but the hot breath she exhaled was scalding.
Luo Sifan quickly led her into the Mirage Pearl Sword Domain and laid her down on the soft bed next to Mu Ziyun.
In the blink of an eye, Shu Hongyi's face was as white as paper, and her breath was barely a whisper. Luo Sifan pressed her pulse and channeled his qi into her body, only to find that her body had been completely depleted, her yin and yang were in disarray, and her life force was hanging by a thread, like a candle flickering in an empty room.
The embers of lightning entangled within the body now showed signs of reigniting.
Shu Hongyi's golden core power and the foundation of her Dao body were locked by the white-clothed woman's wine, unable to release even a trace to nourish her collapsing physical body.
The woman's condition was extremely bad, so Luo Sifan had to take a three-pronged approach.
Take a leaf of Crimson Pearl Grass and chew it slowly in your mouth.
With a heavy heart, he untied and removed Shu Hongyi's robe. He dipped his hands in the Marrow Spirit Liquid and slowly applied it to Shu Hongyi's entire body, occasionally transferring a drop of Crimson Pearl Grass juice to her lips.
Shu Hongyi's physical body was already on the verge of decay and could not withstand any nourishment. The spiritual medicines in Luo Sifan's possession were all of the highest quality, and if she was not careful, her extremely weak body would collapse.
The movements were extremely slow, and very little medicine was used. Luo Sifan focused all his attention on dealing with the matter, without any distractions. The lust aroused by the white-clad woman's medicinal wine was temporarily ignored by Luo Sifan, who was focused on saving people.
Under Luo Sifan's meticulous care, the two top-grade spiritual herbs gradually regained their vitality, harmonized yin and yang, and reversed the irreconcilable conflict within Shu Hongyi's body that was on the verge of collapse.
Her body gradually warmed, her red lips regained their color, and the places Luo Sifan pressed felt smooth and supple; the deathly aura faded, and vitality gradually returned.
Luo Sifan's tense heartstrings relaxed unconsciously. With food and warmth in hand, she could think of romantic pleasures, and all sorts of romantic thoughts came rushing in.
Having crossed halfway across the river, how could Luo Sifan possibly stop now? He could only swallow his shame and continue with the nerve-wracking ordeal.
After all, he still needed to take advantage of the moment when Shu Hongyi's life force was restored to use his lightning control technique to remove the embers of divine lightning that were entangled in Shu Hongyi's body, one by one.
As Shu Hongyi drowsily relaxed, her breathing became even, and her complexion improved with each touch of Luo Sifan's hand.
Luo Sifan's torment came in waves. The white-clad woman's wine power took advantage of his weakness, making Luo Sifan's bowstring taut and ready to go, yet he still had to continue that extremely tempting thing.
Every second, every touch, everything he saw and heard challenged Luo Sifan's limits of endurance.
His forehead and body were covered in a fine layer of cold sweat that he was trying to suppress.
If it weren't for the professional ethics of alchemists and the limitations imposed by his inherent nature, Luo Sifan would probably have long ago taken advantage of others and done whatever he pleased.
Trembling, Luo Sifan hastily helped Shu Hongyi put on a red robe, not daring to carefully comb her hair. He quickly slipped out of the Mirage Pearl, rode his sword straight to the nearest oasis water source, and plunged into the lake with a splash.
In the starry night, with the lake water icy cold, Luo Sifan became much more sober, and his dangerous thoughts of recklessly showing off his power were finally brought under control by reason.
Tormented by both ice and fire, Luo Sifan found joy in his suffering, sitting motionless in the lake, his mind racing with thoughts, spending the entire night lost in reverie.
The younger brother didn't seem to be able to help either, and lay sullenly by the lake, not uttering a sound.
As dawn broke and the light became dazzling, Luo Sifan remembered that there was a woman named Shu Hongyi in the mirage pearl who needed to be looked after.
Leaping out of the sand lake, shaking off his wet robe, Luo Sifan, still dripping wet, slipped into the mirage pearl.
Shu Hongyi, as usual, strolled and stood idly on the grass of the Sword Domain, with the sword orchid planted by Luo Sifan beside her.
Seeing Luo Sifan enter, his face turned as cold as ice, and he shouted sharply:
"Lin Xiaozhi! I never expected you to be so audacious and reckless!"
Luo Sifan had already gone too far with his actions last night, and feeling guilty, he couldn't refute her words. He replied with a wry smile:
“Senior, in times of emergency, one must act expediently. I may have gone a bit too far last night, but that was only to save your life, wasn’t it? How can you say I was audacious?”
Shu Hongyi blushed and said resentfully:
"I didn't talk to you about that! We'll settle our business later! I want to ask you about the secret abduction and imprisonment of my beloved disciple! You appear so refined and polite on the surface, yet you've committed such despicable acts in private!"
Shu Hongyi's angry rebuke was forceful and bizarre, leaving Luo Sifan momentarily stunned:
"Senior, have you misunderstood something?"
Seeing his shameless demeanor, Shu Hongyi became even angrier:
"Lin Xiaozhi! You put my master and me on the same bed, groping us, embracing us on both sides... do you still want to..."
The speculation was so absurd that even Shu Hongyi was too ashamed to utter it. Her red robe trembled, her face flushed, and the dragon-slaying sword at her waist trembled violently, as if she wanted to draw it and kill someone.
