Chapter 5324
Ling Xue’s cheeks turned slightly red. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Hu Mazi jump down from the stone platform. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, and he looked unhappy.
“Master Hu, you’ve broken through to the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm! Why are you so worried about such a happy occasion?”
Kai asked in confusion.
Hu Mazi suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at Kai, his face aggrieved: “What a joke! You two are whining over there every day, it makes me so itchy that I can’t even practice in peace!”
“I finally made a breakthrough, but I’m still so angry. Do you think I can be happy?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Kai burst into laughter, while Ling Xue was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She covered her face with her hands, and her ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
“I didn’t think it through. I didn’t think it through.”
Kai smiled and waved his hands, “Wait until we get out, I’ll find a few female cultivators for Master Hu to play with, so that Master Hu can indulge himself a bit.”
When Hu Mazi heard this, he snorted and his expression eased a little, but there was still a bit of envy and jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Kai.
The three of them packed up and walked out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower together. Kai put away the Demon-Suppressing Tower and then walked out of the cave.
The moment the stone door slowly closed, the sunlight from outside shone on my body, bringing a long-lost warmth.
Calculating the time, they stayed in the tower for a whole year, but in the outside world it was only three days.
The stone door slowly closed behind him, and the last ray of ancient rune light dissipated in the shadow of the cave.
Ling Xue stood where she was, the warm feeling of the tower’s rich fairy air still lingering on her fingertips, but her ears were replaced by the sound of the mountain breeze blowing through the pine needles.
“The air outside is fresher than inside the tower.”
Kai stretched his body, and his joints made a series of light sounds. The spiritual power of the Earthly Immortal Realm flowed steadily in his meridians, bringing an unprecedented sense of stability.
He turned to look at Ling Xue, but saw that she was lowering her head, with a faint pink blush on her fair neck, and her hands were subconsciously twisting her sleeves.
“What’s wrong?”
Kai took two steps closer and could faintly smell the fragrance of spiritual herbs in her hair. It was the “Dew Grass” growing beside the cave. It was said that the petals imbued with fairy spirit could calm the mind and soul. It seemed that Ling Xue had secretly picked them and pinned them in her hair during her practice.
Ling Xue suddenly looked up, her eyes meeting his smiling ones. She hurriedly lowered her head again, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum: “No, nothing… I just feel… the sun outside is a little dazzling.”
Just as she finished speaking, a mountain breeze blew by with fallen leaves, and a strand of hair from her temple was blown to her cheek, making her feel slightly itchy.
She raised her hand to stroke it, but her wrist was gently grasped.
Kai’s palm carried the residual warmth from the tower, much warmer than the mountain breeze. His fingertips accidentally brushed against her pulse, causing her heart to skip a beat.
“When you broke through in the tower, your spiritual power was a little impetuous.”
Kai’s voice deepened, filled with serious concern, “Use the Qingxin Grass to make some spiritual tea when you get back.”
He paused, his eyes falling on her slightly red ears, and couldn’t help but add, “Don’t stay up too late. You have just reached the seventh level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and your foundation needs to be solid.”
“You should seek me out for dual cultivation from time to time to strengthen your foundation…”
Ling Xue glanced at Kai. How could she not know what Kai meant!
Kai made it clear that even if he left the Demon-Suppressing Tower and stopped practicing, he would find an opportunity to do that.
Indeed, during this period of time, Ling Xue has already fallen in love with this feeling.
It’s comfortable, you can practice, and the speed of practice is fast, so why not do it?
It just hurts my legs, and now it hurts when I walk.
Ling Xue hummed and nodded, but did not pull her hand back.
The mountain breeze picked up again, blowing her skirt up slightly and sweeping across Kai’s trouser legs.
She suddenly remembered the last night in the tower. When the spiritual vein tide surged, Kai spent a full three hours helping her stabilize her spiritual power.
