Chapter 367: Chapter 237: How come you’re out shopping with a different woman again?

Several days later, early in the morning.

A young man sat cross-legged in the courtyard, deeply engrossed in his cultivation, eyes slightly closed, feeling the pure Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth continuously entering his body.

Cycling, flowing, compressing. After the Spiritual Energy entered his body, it circulated around a full cycle at a raw pace. He had only completely memorized this unique cultivation technique since yesterday, but as he cycled, his initially relaxed eyebrows slowly furrowed.

Dry, stinging pain. Different from his usual practice of the Purple Cloud Divine Technique, when the Divine Technique circulated within the body, it was like a clear spring flowing into a river, unobstructed, and even if there were twists and turns, it would smoothly arrive.

But this technique called "Demon Heart Technique" seemed less like a cultivation method and more like a punishment.

Normally, Spiritual Energy is constantly compressed and purified in the process of circulation within the body before reaching the Dantian when its purity is sufficient. But this thing does the opposite.

Without a word, Spiritual Energy first rushes directly into the body from various acupoints along the most intricate meridians, not caring whether the body can withstand it, pouring straight into the Dantian, then only disperses, purifies, and refines once it’s in your stomach.

Finally, the turbid air is expelled from the acupoints again, the cycle of tension and relaxation indeed makes one somewhat unspeakable in suffering, eyebrows twisted like ropes, but soon, the tightly shut door was pushed open.

"Clan Leader Xin Yue."

He quickly dispersed the turbid air and stood up proactively.

His eyes filled with gratitude, for Lu Luo had no place to stay on the mountain, and after coming to Swordmaster Peak, she essentially lived in Jiangfeng Courtyard, and recently, to heal, she was simply placed in his room.

Since the day before yesterday, Xin Yue had been regularly treating Lu Luo twice a day, had such a dense Demon aura appeared anywhere else, likely many disciples from various Sects would have personally visited to investigate, yet on Swordmaster Peak, no one dared to make a sound.

Everyone knew that Liu Xianzi had invited a high-ranking expert from the Demon Race, said to be specifically brought to treat her disciple, and although it was somewhat against the rules, no one dared to stir trouble at this time.

The difference between the Human Clan and the Demon Race is indeed large. Since Xin Yue’s arrival, Lu Luo’s injuries and condition had visibly improved quickly. For them, although Spiritual Energy can heal the body, it inevitably isn’t the most suitable.

But looking at the woman who approached...

"Cough, Sister Lu Luo is still ignoring you?"

Seeing Xin Yue’s somewhat unhappy, or rather, disheartened expression, the boy cautiously asked.

Naturally, it can’t be that she couldn’t heal, from the first day, he could feel the vortex of Demon aura in Lu Luo’s body reconverging; Xin Yue was helping her re-cultivate, always keeping the Demon aura vibrant, and her mental state significantly improved.

But what exactly happened between these two, obviously as the Clan Leader, Xin Yue was willing to travel thousands of miles to Purple Cloud Palace just so Lu Luo could continue her cultivation without leaving too many repercussions.

After these few days of exhausting effort, every time she appeared, she looked worn out, it was evident that she dearly loved this junior.

Yet Lu Luo’s attitude wasn’t that great, not impolite, but very indifferent, he had never seen such an expression on Lu Luo’s face, something must have happened between them.

"No wonder Peak Master Liu has such high praise for you, Young Master indeed has remarkable talents."

Her expression was half-smiling, with her experience and foresight, she naturally adjusted her mood quickly, but indeed, she hadn’t expected Jiang Feng to be embarrassed, beating around the bush asking her here.

Hehe smirked.

"I’m really sorry, Clan Leader Xin Yue, she’s just like that, don’t look at her deliberately keeping a straight face; actually, she is quite worried about you. Last night, she even asked me secretly."

"She worries that you might have troubles adapting from the Demon Domain to the Central Plains, saying she had some conflicts between Demon aura and Spiritual Energy when she first arrived here, making her feel uncomfortable all over, asking how your appetite and sleep have been recently."

"Although I don’t know what happened between you before, after all, you’re family, just missing a chance to sit down and talk, I’ve also been anxious, recently asked Sister Su Yi, I found out that in terms of seniority, you’re her aunt, and you took care of her for a long time when she was young."

Her expression somewhat surprised, her polite smile finally turned into a genuine, heartfelt one.

Honestly, these few days of interacting with Jiang Feng, she found this young lad quite endearing. Although erratic in character, he is very good at observing and responding, and also knows how to speak well.

According to what her mother told her, her father was a very serious and rational man, so she was still somewhat surprised, not expecting the inheritor of her father’s residual spirit and Spiritual Energy to have such a personality.

"Since Young Master Jiang is willing, why not join me for a walk, let’s stroll through Purple Cloud Immortal Palace."

"Speaking of which, I haven’t visited other realms before, this Purple Cloud Immortal Palace is indeed fascinating, as for Little Lu Er, you needn’t worry, she might feel a bit weak in the coming days, that’s her body digesting Demon aura, just let her rest well."

"Are you willing to accompany me for a walk around this immortal mountain?"

Without hesitation, he nodded and gestured politely.

"Please."

Standing straight, the two walked side by side.

This invitation to go out was of course not just for Jiang Feng to play the role of a tour guide, but also to take the opportunity to clear the air while they were out, Lu Luo was fiery and disobedient, a person with her own thoughts, but Xin Yue found that she listened to one person only.

That was Jiang Feng.

The saying goes, treat the symptoms; rather than stubbornly staring each other down with her little niece, better to find an indirect way to save the situation.
