Chapter 282 Dual Cultivation

Su Cheng didn't say anything more.

In fact, Xiaoxue's determination was expected.

With her temperament, she would never take it lightly after suddenly learning the news.

Zhu Qing could barely accept it, except for her tough words, but in fact she had already acquiesced, because she was deeply influenced by her living environment since childhood.

Similar things have long been common in the aristocratic circle, and Su Cheng is considered good in comparison.

In addition to the various pressures brought by her cruel family environment and royal traditions, her blood relationship is extremely weak. Under that cold and hard heavy shell, she is actually very sensitive.

What's more, this girl has long known that Su Cheng and Qian Renxue have a close relationship.

So no matter how strong she pretends to be on weekdays, she is always a little inferior in her heart and puts herself in a very low position.

But Qian Renxue is different.

She has been a darling of heaven since she was born.

With extraordinary martial arts talent and unique noble birth, she has been highly expected by everyone since she was young. Even many powerful people in the Spirit Hall call her "Young Master" when they meet.

However, if it were just that, after realizing that Su Cheng's feelings were not loyal, no matter how painful her heart was, she should have been able to wake up and break up with him.

But the problem is that under the various expectations of the outside world when she grew up, she also had a deformed and indifferent family environment.

The only grandfather who had some warmth for her was in seclusion for many years, and the two rarely met.

So Qian Renxue was actually as lacking in love as Zhu Zhuqing.

But the difference was that she had never felt inferior.

From childhood to adulthood, Qian Renxue had always been the strongest among her peers, and all kinds of resources were at her fingertips.

Even when she came to the Tiandou royal family, she could quietly lurk for more than ten years without showing any sign, so her mentality was naturally different.

Because of this, when she regarded Su Cheng as a support, her possessiveness was also full at the same time.

She would not allow this relationship to be shared or interfered by anyone, and she would not give up Su Cheng.

When she learned the truth, her first reaction was neither to question Su Cheng nor to turn around and leave, but to draw her sword and kill regardless of the consequences.

This is why Su Cheng had been choosing to delay before.

Because he understood that if this matter was not handled properly, it would be a lifelong knot between them.

As a result, the problem arose after dragging it on.

In fact, until now, he still didn't understand why the other party suddenly broke out during his retreat, and who leaked these things.

Bibi Dong, who was sitting next to him, saw that he had been silent, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you going to find her? Maybe she is waiting for you."

"Xiaoxue won't want to see me for the time being." Su Cheng shook his head and his expression calmed down.

"At first, she drew her sword against Zhu Qing, perhaps just because of the impulse of extreme anger. But choosing to leave without saying goodbye is not a sullen act."

He naturally didn't know what Bibi Dong said to Qian Renxue, otherwise he might not be so sure.

"I still have to look for her. But in my current state, I may not be able to keep her even if we meet. Let's wait for a while."

He can plan many things, but emotional issues are not that simple.

Qian Renxue is emotionally unstable now. If he can't give her a satisfactory answer after meeting her, things will become more troublesome.

It's better to wait until she calms down, and her thoughts will probably change accordingly.

Let time resolve some conflicts first, and then ferment the longing, maybe it's also a way.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng asked again: "Did she say where she went?"

"No, you know our relationship, how could she tell me these things."

"Alas, in the end, I was too arrogant. I didn't expect her strength to be able to improve to this extent. It's really a bit bizarre."

Seeing his depressed expression, Bibi Dong moved closer, and her white fingers gently stroked his side face, saying softly: "I'm still here, I will never leave you. No matter what you want to do, I'm willing to support you."

Su Cheng's body stiffened.

Bibi Dong's sudden initiative caught him off guard.

But before he could say anything more, a soft but pale face slowly approached him, and the soul power entangled with him, and whispered in a low voice: "Su Cheng, my head hurts."

Su Cheng's expression suddenly became a little solemn when he heard this, and he suppressed what he wanted to say.

In order to save him, Bibi Dong's consumption was too great. This matter could not be delayed. It was necessary to carefully observe the situation in Bibi Dong's soul now.

If it could not be relieved in time, it was unknown to what extent her cultivation would decline, and even her vitality might dissipate.

So he did not reject this soul fluctuation, and also used the technique to stimulate his soul power.

The next moment, the soul that was faintly burning with a faint golden flame blended with the soul energy that exuded a water-blue luster at the core.

As consciousness sank, Su Cheng's perspective changed instantly.

Under the dim and bleak sky, several lotus flowers swayed gently.

Compared with the former splendor, the current scene here is more than just "decline", it is simply a ruin.

In the huge lotus pond, only a thin layer of water remains, and the water is no longer clear.

The silt at the bottom of the pond is like a living thing, constantly surging, muddying the water and staining the lotus roots black.

Originally, there were countless lotuses, but now only a handful of them are left. All of them have traces of being burned by the fire, and both the petals and leaves are incomplete.

Looking at the withered scene in front of him, Su Cheng could not help but remain silent.

The damage suffered by Bibi Dong was much more serious than he imagined.

I am afraid that the other party is not just a headache at this time. Even staying conscious requires a lot of mental perseverance.

But even so, during her coma, she was still trying to infuse herself with soul power...

At this time, a graceful figure wearing a white slim dress appeared beside Su Cheng.

He turned his head to look.

Bibi Dong's face was finally no longer as pale as the outside world. She regained some of her former beauty, and even her hairstyle and dress were adjusted a lot.

Below the clean and delicate calves was a pair of snow-white bare feet with perfect lines.

The slightly curly and smooth long hair was no longer tied up, but naturally draped behind her shoulders, gently fluttering.

Although her appearance has not changed, she looks much younger, very much like how she looked when the two of them were together in the simulated world before.

Su Cheng couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.

Only her eyes were still dim and weak, so weak that it made people feel distressed.

In this place, she can condense her body with consciousness, and her appearance can naturally be adjusted as she wishes.

However, the eyes are the windows to the soul. When the soul is weak and exhausted to such an extent, the eyes naturally can't be as bright as before.

The snow-white bare feet walked silently on the ground, came to the edge of the pool and stood beside Su Cheng.

Bibi Dong looked at him and asked softly: "How is it, is there any hope?"

"Of course there is hope." Su Cheng came back to his senses, "If it really doesn't work, even if you take the fairy grass, you can make up for part of your foundation first. But I have to see the situation first."

He didn't say anything more about gratitude.

The other party did this for him, at this time, any words seemed too pale.

Staring at the ruined lotus pond in front of him, Su Cheng pondered silently.

For ordinary people, the soul is a harmonious whole, and there is no such thing as a soul core.

Bibi Dong is different. That bit of starlight created a higher level of soul energy gathering place for her out of thin air.

So this consciousness world is actually a bit special in nature.

However, for the treatment and adjustment of injuries, this is a good thing.

As long as this place where the soul foundation is located can resume normal operation, Bibi Dong's soul as a whole will not be in any trouble.

"What you said before is indeed right. The parasitic and contaminating ability of the Rakshasa power is too strong, and it is not so easy to be completely suppressed. With the loss of your soul origin, those evil thoughts have begun to stir up trouble again, and they are trying to continue to affect your mind and will."

After observing and thinking for a while, Su Cheng slowly pondered: "So, in addition to the damage to the soul origin, the remaining Rakshasa power is also a huge hidden danger."

"..."

Bibi Dong lowered her eyes and remained silent.

In fact, these endless evil thoughts were not all caused by the power of the Rakshasa. She knew in her heart that the power of the Rakshasa only affected a very small part of it.

More of it actually came from her own long-suppressed evil thoughts and greed.

But there was no need to explain this in detail to Su Cheng.

After all, no matter how old a fairy is, she is still a fairy.

How could a fairy have bad thoughts?

It was all the work of that despicable and hateful Rakshasa!

"Can I touch it?" Su Cheng squatted down, looked at the little water surface in front of him, and said softly.

"... It's up to you." A blush appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

When his fingers touched the water surface, the two bodies shook violently at the same time.

Especially Bibi Dong, her figure blurred for a while, and she almost disappeared on the spot.

This body is just the incarnation of her consciousness after all.

The essence of her soul, the place where her senses are, her real soul "body", is exactly this lotus pond in front of her.

The clean water, the flawless white lotus, and the surging mud at the bottom of the lake together constitute the most real and full her.

"..."

Bibi Dong bit her thin lips with her pearly teeth, and tried hard not to moan.

The touch just now was like a finger gently touching her heart.

The intimate contact without any obstacles almost made her lose her mind and tremble...

But before the two of them could say anything to ease the embarrassment just now, ripples suddenly rose on the shallow lake surface.

The next moment, Su Cheng, a consciousness composed of a small amount of soul essence, suddenly appeared on the surface of his body with dense light golden flames.

Then, as if attracted by something, these flames quickly gathered towards his fingertips.

The light golden flames seemed to form a delicate balance in the infiltration of the pool water.

The flames dissipated little by little, and some of the pool water turned into steam and filled the air, and the mud at the bottom of the pool retreated.

"Water and fire complement each other?"

Su Cheng looked at the scene in surprise.

He only had time to think of this before he was drowned by the pleasure that surged like a wave.

Bibi Dong on the side was even more miserable, she groaned and disappeared on the spot.

Although Su Cheng had completed the five elements perfection at the level of martial soul and even the physical body, and also comprehended the powerful sword intent of great extinction, he had a very deep understanding of the attributes, but those were just regular attributes and did not involve the soul.

At this moment, whether it is the remaining fire of the sun still burning in his soul or the pure water in the lotus pond, they are different from ordinary water and fire. He cannot see through them with his current eyesight, and it is normal for abnormal situations beyond his control to occur.

Of course, Su Cheng is not taking risks without reason.

Before this, he did not have any warning signs in his heart, and now his body is so strong that his instincts do not give any warnings, so he dares to try.

Moreover, the scale of the soul source he entered here this time is not large.

Whether it dissipates or the remaining fire of the sun passively carried by himself, it will not cause too serious damage to Bibi Dong or himself.

After a long time, Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

He saw a wave of light, and the clear water around him was silently soaking his skin.

At some point, he was lying in the shallow lotus pond.

Although there was mud under his body, the mud where his body was close to seemed peaceful and calm, no longer surging and boiling before, and was completely purified by the remaining fire of the sun.

Not only that, his own soul was also unusually relaxed and pure at this moment.

It was not only because the flames that were constantly burning his soul disappeared, bringing a cool and refreshing feeling, but also an essential improvement, which seemed to be more complete than before.

Without time to carefully check his own condition, Su Cheng quickly sat up and looked around, looking for Bibi Dong's figure.

But there was no one there at the moment.

The soft and graceful figure in a plain white dress had long disappeared.

"Bibi Dong? Are you okay?"

Su Cheng walked out of the pool, his voice slightly hoarse. The feeling just now was so comfortable that he almost lost himself completely.

If the flames in this part of the soul's origin had not been exhausted, he might not have been able to wake up.

"..."

After he asked the question, there was silence around him, and no one answered.

At first, Su Cheng didn't care too much.

He gained a lot, but this kind of dual cultivation of water and fire obviously couldn't be the only one who benefited, and the mud under him that changed was proof of that.

But after a long time without any response, he began to worry, "Bibi Dong? Your Excellency the Pope?"

"No, it's okay..."

Bibi Dong did not appear.

Only very light voices came from all directions, echoing over the pool.

The voice was hoarse and sticky, like the spring water lingering between the throat and tongue, which sounded extremely seductive.

Just from this voice, you can know what state the other party is in at this time.

Su Cheng was silent for a while, and then hesitated: "The practice method just now seems to be effective. Do you want to try it again?"

"..."

No one answered.

"Your Excellency the Pope?" He asked again tentatively.

"Leave here first!"

"..."

After a long time, until Su Cheng disappeared, Bibi Dong in a plain white dress reappeared.

"Hu...Hu..."

Accompanied by heavy panting, she collapsed to the ground with limp body, her half-open eyes filled with water color, she looked up at the sky absent-mindedly, rippling with a strong spring love that could not be dissolved.

At this moment, a head suddenly blocked the sky and occupied most of the field of vision.

"Although it is a bit embarrassing, it seems that this method is the only one we can use at present. Otherwise, your soul damage may not be fully recovered in a short time."

"I, I didn't say no!" Bibi Dong's face flushed instantly, and her tone was a little exasperated, "Can you get out, do you want to laugh at me?"

"That's not what I meant..." Su Cheng looked embarrassed.

"Forget it, I'll go out first."
