Chapter 57:

Sister DiscipleÑøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Senior brother, I dont blame you.

In a covered location, the voices of Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue sounded successively. Qin Xiaoyue had already dressed, but a faint blush lingered, and her voice carried a hint of vulnerability.

The sac of the Purple Thunder Spewing Cloud Beast and some other herbs could be used to craft a pill that enhanced ones physique. However, it was important to note that the primary purpose of this sac, especially when it encountered female counterparts, was to stimulate their sexual desire. If ruptured without prior breath-holding, the scent detected by humans could be as potent as the strongest aphrodisiac. It was worth mentioning that this Purple Thunder Spewing Cloud Beast was comparable with the fifth or sixth level of the Golden Core stage, amplifying its effects even more.

Li Su barely resisted the effects, but Qin Xiaoyue couldnt. Consequently, Li Su couldnt resist either. A whole day passed, but fortunately, the battle between Li Su and the Purple Thunder Spewing Cloud Beast deterred other monsters from approaching this area, allowing Li Su and Qin Xiaoyue their intimate moment.

Qin junior sister, once we escape this place, I will formally propose to our master for your hand in marriage, Li Su vowed as he gazed at Qin Xiaoyues delicate appearance. Qin Xiaoyues cheeks flushed, and she neither accepted nor declined. Her feelings for Li Su were intricate.

Over a century ago, when Qin Xiaoyue first laid eyes on Li Su, she couldnt help but steal a few extra glances at him due to his striking appearance and remarkable temperament. However, she didnt pursue any romantic notions once she discovered Li Sus exceedingly poor spiritual roots. Nevertheless, she occasionally inquired about Li Sus well-being when he emerged from seclusion, but that was the extent of their interaction.

Indeed, it wasnt about romantic feelings. Despite her initial curiosity and brief interest in Li Su, their connection evolved into mutual respect and admiration. However, it never developed into anything deeper. Yet, as Li Sus strength grew over the years, he once again caught her attention, not with ulterior motives, but simply because this was how cultivators were.

Furthermore, Qin Xiaoyue had no intentions of gaining anything from Li Su. Had Li Su not reached the Foundation Establishment stage and lived only a hundred years, she might not have paid much attention to him. It wasnt until Li Su successfully formed his Golden Core that Qin Xiaoyue took notice, leaving a lasting impression on her heart.

Nonetheless, at this moment, Qin Xiaoyues priority was not romance but reaching the Golden Core stage, a monumental milestone for cultivators that opened up a world of possibilities. Unexpectedly, an incident occurred between her and Li Su. Qin Xiaoyue had maintained her purity for over a century and never developed feelings for anyone. When this unexpected incident happened, she didnt blame Li Su. The extra glance she had given him over a hundred years ago had ultimately played a role, making Li Sus position in her heart unique. When Li Su expressed his desire to marry her, she remained silent. Her heart was in turmoil.

As for a pill recipe suitable for the sect leaders Nascent Soul stage breakthrough, Li Su knew he would have to diligently search for it upon his return. This secret area primarily contained herbs useful for those at the Golden Core stage.

Senior brother, you dont need to share the monster spoils with me. Since you defeated them, go ahead and select the herbs first, Qin Xiaoyues voice came from outside the secret area.

This time, they had only spent three days within the secret area, uncertain if it was a natural formation or artificially created. Despite the long history of the three major sects, they had no prior knowledge of this hidden place. Li Su divided the herbs, and after completing the distribution, they began their journey back. They knew the three-day limit and that they would have to wait for the next red moon to exit if they didnt leave within that time. Regrettably, they didnt have the luxury of further investigation, although Li Su had contemplated delving deeper to uncover the secrets of this mysterious place.

Senior brother, please give me time to respond after I break through to the Golden Core stage, alright? Qin Xiaoyue looked at Li Su with a complex expression at the capital of the Wu Kingdom.

Of course, sister disciple, dont burden yourself mentally. If youre not willing, then so be it. Focus on reaching the Golden Core stage with all your might, Li Su replied understandingly.

Hmm.

Senior brother, then Ill take my leave.

Farewell, senior brother.

Li Su departed, and Qin Xiaoyue remained in a daze on the flying vessel until Li Sus vessel disappeared into the horizon. After a considerable amount of time had passed, she finally turned around and returned to a tall tower near the capital of the Wu Kingdom.
