Dong-dong-dong---
Early in the morning, the morning bell rang through the Dragon Mountain.
Last night's fresh rain had washed away some of the extremely flaming spiritual energy from the land, and the air was not as dry as the previous days.
In the garden of the guest house, Xiao Yunluo's white plain clothes were soaked with fragrant sweat, her cheeks were rosy, and her breathing was a little disordered.
Every day after waking up, she meditated and practiced her Black Star Sect's sword art three times, eliminating the distracting thoughts that had accumulated during the night through sweat. Then, she went back to the room, wiped her body with a wet handkerchief, combed her hair, and changed clothes.
This was a habit she had maintained since she was a child.
As for what were the distracting thoughts?
In short, they were just thoughts that distracted her usual attention.
For example, Ye Anping.
Since the last time she and Ye Anping built the foundation in the Hundred Lotus Sect's cave, she would recall from time to time the sight of Ye Anping meditating and condensing Qi with his upper body naked.
Ye Anping was not tall, and his shoulders were not broad. In terms of beauty, he was definitely not as good as other disciples of the Black Star Sect. However, Xiao Yunluo didn't know why, but Ye Anping's appearance was particularly attractive to her.
So, every time she thought of Ye Anping, she would feel an ache in her entire body.
If she thought of it at night, she would lock the door of the house, close the windows, and take out her secret erotic book from the storage bag. She would look at the images in the book, and picture herself and Ye Anping into it, and then curl up into a ball...

The sword swung out into a silver arc.
Xiao Yunluo sheathed her sword and closed her eyes, slowed down her breathing, then wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. She looked at the sky and let out a long breath.
Although the sword practice had calmed her down to a great extent, after stopping, she couldn't help but start to fantasize about whether Ye Anping would appear behind her the next moment, put his arms around her waist, and hold her tightly.
Xiao Yunluo was full of anticipation. After a moment, she secretly looked behind her.
Of course, she knew that Ye Anping could not appear here, nor would he do that.
However, she was still slightly disappointed when she saw that there was no Ye Anping behind her.
"What am I thinking? I'm just like a young lady in love, no, no, no!"
Xiao Yunluo shook her head, tied up her loose hair again, then continued to wield the sword.
However, although Ye Anping was not behind her, there was a woman wearing the clothes of a Dragon House guard peeking at her from behind a ginkgo tree about twenty feet away.
This woman was the female cultivator in the Core Formation stage, who was assisting Li Longling in investigating the demonic cultivator. Wu Yue was also a guardian of the Demonic Sect's prison hall.
Previously, Li Feng had told their boss that they were not allowed to attack Xiao Yunluo under any circumstances.
Their boss had also specifically instructed them afterward that before the blood sacrifice, they must not have any thoughts about Xiao Yunluo.
Of course, Wu Yue understood the reason why he did this.
The girl named Feng Yu Die suddenly rushed in front of the corpse soul she had released and greeted Xiao Yunluo. The moment she opened her mouth, the corpse was sucked down her throat.
"..."
Wu Yue was silent for a while, but she was not prepared to release a second corpse soul, so she just sneered. "Heh, good luck."
With that, she glanced at Feng Yu Die and no longer cared.
Her figure turned into a purple mist and dispersed.
Beside Xiao Yunluo, Feng Yu Die glanced at the ginkgo tree where Wu Yue had just been, then cast a questioning glance at Xiao Tian, who was floating in the sky, 'How is it?'
"Yu Die, she's gone. Just meditate and adjust your breath, and leave the rest to me."
"Uhm..."
Xiao Yunluo looked at Feng Yu Die with a puzzled face and asked, "What are you doing, rushing over like this..."
"Of course, I'm protecting you."
?
Xiao Yunluo was even more confused when she saw Feng Yu Die immediately sitting down cross-legged, closing her eyes, and starting to condense her Qi.
"Huh? Protect me from what?"
"..."
Feng Yu Die didn't answer. She frowned and mobilized her true energy to protect her body. At the same time, Xiao Tian dived into her soul realm through her forehead.
Inside Feng Yu Die's soul realm, the line between sky and water was a boundless lake scenery.
Xiao Tian entered and quickly drifted along the internal borders and over the Mirror Lake. After searching for a long time, she found the corpse soul that had been sucked into Feng Yu Die's body in a corner of the lake.
The corpse soul also showed its form at this moment.
It was a man's corpse with a festering face, but it was able to walk, and its entire body emitted a stench that polluted the lake surface under his feet and made Xiao Tian nauseous.
Every step it took left a trace of filth on the Mirror Lake surface.
With just one glance, Xiao Tian could tell that this thing should be a corpse soul refined from the golden cicada shell* of a dying male cultivator.
Xiao Tian flattened her mouth in disgust, frowning, and made a sword gesture with her fingers in front of her chest. "Old pal, it's time for extra food!"
As she spoke, a golden light burst out from her chest and turned into a golden dragon hovering in the air.
The golden dragon glared angrily and swept a glance at the corpse soul on the lake before glancing at Xiao Tian with a disgusted expression as if it did not want to eat this nasty thing.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the golden dragon, the corpse soul was stunned. It raised its head and looked at the golden dragon. After hesitating for a while, it instinctively turned and tried to escape.
But the next moment, the golden dragon opened its jaws, circled in the sky, and swooped down, swallowing it whole.
"Burp~~"
The golden dragon's hiccups echoed through Feng Yu Die's soul realm.
