After we got married, I relied on my cheap husband to get promoted.

The man stood still for a while, then suddenly knelt down, and one of the long horns on his head was cut off and fell to the ground, turning into a ball of gas and dissipating in the air.

The man was holding the halberd and was about to continue fighting, but Zhong Lixiu was also pointing his sword at him, his face was calm, as if nothing happened at all.

However, Cheng Jiuge felt a severe tightness in his chest, and even a slight sting. It was Zhong Lixiu, and his injury had worsened!

Seeing Zhong Lixiu like this, the man was afraid that he would strike again. Suddenly a black hole appeared in the ground. The man disappeared after falling into the black hole, and the things that seemed human and inhuman before also disappeared.

The courtyard returned to calm, Cheng Jiuge quickly rushed to Zhong Lixiu, "How are you?"

Zhong Lixiu raised his head, looked at her, reached out and grabbed her shoulders, and his eyes fell on her shoulders, "Huh?" Cheng Jiuge fell to the ground without reacting, and Zhong Lixiu also fell into her arms, The rest of the people also quickly stepped forward to help the two of them.

After Cheng Jiuge got up, he picked up Zhong Lixiu and returned to the room and put him on the bed. Shen Binghai also limped over to help him diagnose, but before the diagnosis was completed, Zhong Lixiu's body began to freeze!

Cheng Jiuge could feel the coldness on her hands. She looked at Shen Binghai with some horror, "Is it serious again?"

Shen Binghai also looked solemn, "Yes, so I suggest you practice quickly."

Cheng Jiuge bit his lip and tightened his grip on Zhong Lixiu's clothes, "Okay! You guys go to rest and recover first."

The others quickly left for breath adjustment treatment, and Cheng Jiuge finally shouted, "Close the door."

After everyone left, Cheng Jiuge took a look and finally pulled up the bed curtain. She lay next to Zhong Lixiu and turned over on top of him. Suddenly the door was opened. Cheng Jiuge was startled and turned over from Zhong Lixiu. "What's up?"

Shen Binghai poked his head in and said, "I forgot to mention it. You need to use the Fire Element Technique to roast his Dantian first. His inner alchemy should also be frozen. Let's melt the ice inside first."

Cheng Jiuge: "I understand."

Shen Binghai: "Go on." Although he was a little confused as to why he had to close the bed curtains during cultivation, he thought it might be a personal preference, so he didn't ask.

Shen Binghai closed the door. Cheng Jiuge got out of bed first and locked the door before returning to the bed. She lay on Zhong Lixiu and was about to lower her head when the unconscious Zhong Lixiu suddenly opened his eyes.

Cheng Jiuge was so excited that he almost fell off the bed, "Why are you awake?"

Zhong Lixiu looked at her blankly, and Cheng Jiuge blinked, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Lixiu suddenly said, "I want to protect you." His hand suddenly grabbed her hand, "Run, be safe." He seemed not very clear, but he was thinking about her safety.

Cheng Jiuge didn't know what it felt like. He woke up just because he knew she was in danger, so he wanted to protect her? She got a lump in her throat as she wanted to say something. Then Zhong Lixiu lowered his head on her shoulder and said, "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry I made you unhappy before, I'm sorry I made you hurt, I'm sorry I can't...

Cheng Jiuge didn't know why he suddenly apologized, but just touched his face and said, "It's okay."

Cheng Jiuge raised his head, their foreheads were touching, "It's okay, you are fine, so I will save you!"

Cheng Jiuge used the Fire Element Technique and probed into Zhong Lixiu's Dantian. A small stream of flames was roasting the round inner alchemy inside.

The ice melted and the inner alchemy regained its vitality. Cheng Jiuge released his consciousness and entered Zhong Lixiu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Just after her consciousness entered, a huge suction force attracted it. Cheng Jiuge's consciousness finally met Zhong Lixiu's. The two consciousnesses suddenly became entangled, hot and passionate...

The fire that was originally in the Dantian covered Zhong Lixiu's entire body in less than a moment, and the heat began to rise...

Sweat fell from their foreheads, and their faces were extremely red, especially Zhong Lixiu, who was red and hot from his neck to his head, and his ears seemed to be bleeding. Zhong Lixiu originally grabbed her hand and exerted force, as if he wanted to embed the person into his entire body.

Cheng Jiuge felt that his body was very hot, so hot that he groaned. He wanted to leave but was tightly entangled again...

Numb, moist, warm, entangled, and then it seemed like the flames dispersed... I don't know how long it took, but Cheng Jiuge seemed to hear the sound of roosters crow. She finally got rid of Zhong Lixiu's consciousness and broke away. However, as soon as she opened her eyes He also met Zhong Lixiu’s eyes, and his eyes seemed to be sticky and moist...

Cheng Jiuge's body went limp and he kowtowed, just as the corners of their mouths touched...

The two of them were very wet, caused by the ice on Zhong Lixiu's body melting into water. Cheng Jiuge felt very uncomfortable. When she turned her head, Zhong Lixiu's lips fell on her earlobe again, and the two of them felt stiff again...

Finally, Cheng Jiuge pushed him and said, "I don't feel comfortable."

Zhong Lixiu kneaded her fingers together, and the two of them quickly felt dry. Then Zhong Lixiu hugged her and turned her over. The two of them lay sideways on the bed, with Zhong Lixiu's hands still around her waist.

Cheng Jiuge closed her eyes and panted. The injuries from last night were almost healed. Not only that, she felt that her Dantian was full of spiritual energy, and it was slowly overflowing.

She pushed Zhong Lixiu away and sat up. Zhong Lixiu thought she was going to be angry, but she suddenly sat cross-legged and closed her eyes. A steady stream of spiritual energy from outside began to pour into the room. Only then did Zhong Lixiu realize that she should It’s time to advance.

People outside also discovered the situation after they woke up. Everyone was still a little worried. Shen Binghai thought for a while and knocked on the door, "Do you need help?"

Zhong Lixiu got out of bed, opened the door, and saw several pairs of eyes outside, "No, she is advancing."

Shen Binghai looked at him, "Are you okay?"

Zhong Lixiu: "Nothing serious, thank you."

Shen Binghai: "The main credit is due to your Taoist companion. How is your cultivation?"

Zhong Lixiu lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, "...it's okay."

Shen Binghai: "That's fine. Remember to practice more. You still have to listen to Elder Hesong's words."

Zhong Lixiu looked at Cheng Jiuge who was on the bed, "You guys go to rest, I'll watch over her."

"Okay!"

Waiting until night, Cheng Jiuge finally advanced to the late stage of Jindan, and the weakness and fatigue all over her body also disappeared.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhong Lixiu sitting on the side. Cheng Jiuge felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. She got out of bed and put on her shoes. Zhong Lixiu over there looked over and came to her side, "Are you okay?"

Cheng Jiuge paused while putting on his shoes, "It's pretty good."

"Ah."

The two were silent. Cheng Jiuge raised his eyes and met Zhong Lixiu's eyes. He had been looking at her, "You..."

"you……"

The two of them spoke at the same time.

"You go ahead." Cheng Jiuge stood up. She was full of strength now and wanted to go out and practice sword practice.

Zhong Lixiu: "Are you hungry?"

Cheng Jiuge touched his stomach and seemed a little hungry.

Zhong Lixiu: "I'll make you something to eat." After saying that, he walked out.
