Chapter Seventy-Eight: Exhausting the Lights
Late at night, the bright moon was absent, and the night was extraordinarily deep, and last night he stretched out a hand towards the sky, and the corners of his mouth curled, hey, this is really a dark night where you can't see your fingers.
But the night did not become an obstacle to him, but became a convenient cloak for his quick action, and in the dark night, he was as swift as a leopard, and he went straight to the target.
There was no light in the room, the master seemed to have rested, and a figure sitting on the bed could be faintly seen, slowly exhaling, retracting the aura, she got up, waved her hand, the candlestick was lit, and the room was suddenly filled with a bright fire of warm colors.
Under the firelight, Yuxue's lovely face appeared last night, he smiled surprisingly good, stared at the beautiful people under the candlelight, and praised: "Ah Li, are you a burner and tireless?"
Chen Li remained silent, ignoring him, she moved lightly, walked to the table and sat down, and poured a cup of tea. Last night, he walked over and sat down beside her, and naturally took the tea cup in her hand. Chen Li glanced at him and silently poured himself another cup.
Last night, he raised his glass and drank it all, "Good tea!" What was prepared this night was only old tea that had already been cold, but he did not blush with praise.
Chen Li still didn't speak, and silently took a sip of cold tea.
"Ah Li, I'm so well-behaved, I deserve an answer, right?" Lu tried to squeeze his charming peach blossom eyes into the shape of pitiful droplets last night, in order to win the sympathy of the person in front of him.
"Recovered?" she said abruptly, her voice as cold as ever.
It's really strange, her indifferent tone, which can be heard in the ears last night, but it seems to carry her temperature straight into his heart, he needs a little aftertaste before he realizes that she means something, hooks the corners of his mouth, and says: "I have been lying down for a long time, and it has been well for a long time." "This naturally refers to the fact that he ran out of spiritual power during the battle with Leng Qing last night.
Chen Li looked at him, there seemed to be no warmth in her eyes, and she took a sip of the tea that was so cold that it couldn't be colder again, without saying a word.
Chen Li didn't say anything, but he began to think about it last night, of course he knew that ordinary immortal cultivators would have to recuperate and meditate for at least two or three days to fully recover when their spiritual power was exhausted, which was different from ordinary consumption, and it was very harmful for immortal cultivators to completely deplete their spiritual power. In the battle of immortals and demons, the immortal family was repeatedly defeated, not only that the demon beasts were led by demon gods, but that the cultivation methods of demon beasts were completely different from those of immortal cultivators, they could use all their demon power to fight, and the demon power was all exhausted, and the demon pills in their bodies could be stimulated, and new demon power could be continuously accumulated, which was even a special cultivation method for demon beasts.
But immortal cultivators are different, once the spiritual power is exhausted, the golden pill in the body is extremely vulnerable to damage, once the recklessness continues, the golden pill may burst, and the lifelong cultivation will be ruined in a flash, so immortal cultivators will rarely do their best to fight, and the battle is naturally not as good as the demon beast.
The victory in the battle that year was naturally attributed to Leng Qing's victory over the demon god, and secondly, it was also due to the sea tactics of the immortal cultivators. It is not easy for the elves of heaven and earth to turn into demons, although it is difficult to cultivate immortals, but there are five major families and hundreds of immortal families, with a guide, there is a path to cultivate immortals with a little qualification, and the number of immortal cultivators is naturally far greater than that of demon beasts.
Back to Lu last night, when he was distracted last night and was beaten away by Leng Qing, he could actually continue to fight, but he immediately knelt on the ground and admitted defeat, there is a reason. The reason why he was distracted was because he received Chen Li's secret voice in his ears, and Chen Li asked him to admit defeat immediately. Although he was unwilling and puzzled, he still did it, naturally because he trusted Chen Li wholeheartedly, and at this moment he came to ask for an answer to why she wanted him to admit defeat.
Chen Li didn't answer him, but threw out a question. She asked him if he had recovered, and he replied that he had recovered as before. I'm afraid, that's the answer she's going to give him.
The moment he figured it out, his back was soaked with cold sweat last night, and he felt a bone-eroding chill rush out from the bottom of his heart, if it wasn't for Ah Li, he would have been slashed by the sword in the cold. What's more, she knew everything, but risked the possibility of being snubbed and resolutely chose to save herself......
......He cautiously, secretly, held her hand, and it was not until he held it tightly that he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was afraid that she would shake him off, but in the end, she let him hold it.
"I, I'll be more careful in the future. He said softly.
Trying to recall the scene during the day, he recalled that Leng Qing seemed to flash a moment of doubt, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid, "He, will he..."
"No, it won't. Chen Li said categorically.
I don't know where Chen Li's confidence came from last night, but he suddenly felt a burst of relief, she said no, then it won't!
The candle flickered, and he bowed his head, resting his forehead against their clasped hands, and it was only by her side that he felt a hint of redemption......
The same dark night, the same candle flame, Wang Xiaoshi sat in the room, on the table was a cup of tea still slowly rising with hot smoke and a chessboard that seemed to be playing against each other, white and black were staggered and evenly matched. He couldn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep anyway when he carefully recalled the battle situation during the day.
At that time, he was out of control, he shouldn't have exposed his strength too early and fought so hard, but his loss of control was an explosion that had been accumulated for a long time, and he had long realized the root cause, but he could not solve it. It wasn't until Chen Li helped him that he finally realized the way.
But what made him puzzled was not only these, but the elder of the Lu family, who was as smart as Lu last night, also expressed his doubts and indignation at the elder's performance, so there were only two results, one was that Lu Cassia acted on his own, and the other was that the Lu family instructed and Lu didn't know last night.
The Lu family and the Wang family have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, why should they be so embarrassed by the Wang family in the third battle, not to mention that the Lu family has always been ambitious, and their goal should be the Leng family instead of the Wang family! Although the chessboard battle on the table is fierce, there are traces to follow, but the chessboard under the table has long been in chaos.
He wanted to find a glimmer of light in the chaos, he held up a white piece and landed on the chessboard, there was a moment of clarity in his heart, no matter what, he knew that he had someone who would always be worth trusting.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoshi threw down the chessboard and tea, returned to the couch and sat cross-legged, and began to breathe and meditate.
The breath moved more and more slowly, and gradually, Wang Xiaoshi seemed to have no breath, but his body began to surround himself with incomparably light spiritual power, which was completely opposite to the breath, the spiritual power swirled, turning faster and faster, until it formed a barrier like a protective ring visible to the naked eye, enveloping Wang Xiaoshi's body.
At the center of the spiritual storm, he felt a familiar pleasure flooding from the bottom of his heart, his mood became more relaxed, his breath became slower and slower, and only the thick spiritual power was still spinning rapidly......
