Chapter 381 Liu Ruyan's Proposal
Lin Qiye chuckled inwardly as he watched her earnestly trying to find excuses for herself, but nodded without showing any emotion.
"Yes, you're right."
"It's cultivation."
Seeing that he accepted her statement so easily, Liu Ruyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then a sense of loss rose within her that she herself did not even realize.
She cleared her throat and continued in her cool voice, "The situation is urgent, and we must recover our strength as soon as possible. Therefore... I suggest that we... continue our cultivation!"
After saying that, Liu Ruyan wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground!
She simply couldn't believe that such extremely shameful words could actually come out of her own mouth!
Looking at her eyes, which, though trying to remain aloof, couldn't help but dart around, and her ears that were already bright red, Lin Qiye felt a surge of anger rise up in his heart again.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the heat in his heart, but a serious expression appeared on his face as he nodded solemnly.
You make a very good point.
"I think it's worth continuing to cultivate."
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's... begin."
As he spoke, he slowly extended his arm toward Liu Ruyan.
[Omitted 10,000 words]
When Liu Ruyan slowly awoke from her deep meditation, the cave was empty.
The warm, comforting aura had vanished, leaving only a cold stone wall beside her and the faint warmth that still lingered from him.
"Lin Qiye?"
A sudden emptiness filled her heart, and she subconsciously uttered a soft call, her voice carrying a hint of panic that she herself was unaware of.
no respond.
A nameless panic, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed her.
Where did he go?
He wouldn't... just abandon himself like this, would he?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, she ruthlessly extinguished it.
What kind of crazy idea is this!
Liu Ruyan, what's wrong with you!
Liu Ruyan cursed herself inwardly, then, enduring the soreness deep within her body, hurriedly rushed out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the oppressive, dim yellow sky above the abyss remained.
However, when her gaze fell upon the massive black mountain range in the distance, her pupils suddenly contracted!
The black mist in that direction was churning and swirling violently, just like boiling water!
A series of muffled, thunderous roars, mixed with sharp, ear-piercing energy explosions, were faintly coming from that direction!
Even from a great distance, she could almost feel the devastating aftershocks of the battle.
"That madman!"
Liu Ruyan's pretty face, and her usually cool eyes, revealed an expression of disbelief and horror.
He... he actually went back to find that terrifying Black Mountain monster all by himself?!
Is he out of his mind?!
Without thinking, she lifted her foot and was about to rush in that direction!
However, she had only taken one step when she suddenly froze in place.
Yesterday's scene resurfaced in her mind once again.
Under the oppressive will of that mysterious being, I felt as fragile as an ant.
But he had to be distracted by protecting himself, a burden, while fighting against the endless, terrifying tentacles.
If it weren't for me, he would never have been in such a dangerous situation!
A sense of powerlessness and shame gripped her heart.
Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip hard.
Even if I go, what can I do?
Do I want to become a burden to him again, like yesterday, and distract him?
Do not!
A fighting spirit suddenly flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes!
She can no longer be a burden to him!
Now, the only thing I can do, and the only right choice, is... to trust him!
Then, do everything you can to become stronger!
Only by becoming stronger can I avoid becoming a burden to him and truly stand by his side when he needs me, fighting alongside him!
Instead of hiding behind him and trembling like this now!
Thinking of this, the overwhelming worry and panic in Liu Ruyan's heart was gradually replaced by an even stronger desire for power.
She slowly turned around, and a fierce flame ignited in her usually cool eyes.
She walked back into the dark cave.
"one day……"
She murmured to herself, her voice soft, yet carrying an undeniable firmness.
"I'll cultivate here for one day! If you haven't returned by then..."
"I'll come find you again!"
After saying that, she slowly began her cultivation.
……
Meanwhile, outside that massive black mountain range, a fierce battle was reaching its climax.
Lin Qiye's figure had already transformed into a black lightning bolt that frantically darted through the forest of tentacles.
He no longer passively defended as before, but instead... launched an active hunt!
boom! boom! boom!
With each swing of his divine dragon spear, he precisely pierced and shattered several thick tentacles!
Each explosion brought out large amounts of pure abyssal essence, which was then devoured and absorbed completely by his black hole-like extreme martial intent!
The energy deficit in his body had long been completely filled!
In fact, under the continuous and immense replenishment of energy, he felt as if his body was about to be completely burst!
This time, if an energy shortage occurs again, it might be able to sustain the situation for an even longer period of time!
And that huge black mountain seemed to be completely enraged by this "ant" that dared to provoke the Grand Duke Jupiter!
"roar--!!!"
A roar filled with rage and madness erupted from the mountain itself!
Immediately afterwards, the endless tentacles became even more frenzied.
Lin Qiye's figure suddenly retreated rapidly, like a ghost, instantly creating a distance of hundreds of meters between himself and the raging forest of tentacles.
He hovered in mid-air, the dragon spear in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground. In his deep eyes, all the madness and eagerness had faded, replaced by a hunter's calm and scrutinizing gaze upon his prey.
This enormous monster, as massive as a mountain, seems... unable to move!
Its main body was firmly fixed in place, and it could only rely on its endless tentacles to carry out ranged attacks.
Although these tentacles are numerous, their attack range, speed, and power all decrease significantly with increasing distance.
As long as one maintains a relatively safe distance, these threats that were once deadly will become nothing more than…
A sitting duck!
"roar--!!!"
At this moment, the massive black mountain roared even more furiously.
Countless tentacles, thicker and more ferocious than before, like black, angry dragons, tore through the earth, stirred up the black mist, and once again swept towards Lin Qiye in an overwhelming manner!
However, this time, Lin Qiye did not dodge in such a disheveled manner as before.
He simply stood there quietly, watching the overwhelming black tide, a cold smile curving his lips.
too slow.
When those tentacles reached out to him, their speed and power had decreased by more than half compared to when they were at close range!
That seemingly devastating attack was already full of flaws in his eyes!
Swish!
Lin Qiye moved.
His figure darted and weaved through the gaps between countless tentacles.
With each thrust of the divine dragon spear in his hand!
puff!puff!puff!
A series of crisp, bubble-like sounds rang out continuously!
Those enormous tentacles that Liu Ruyan thought were indestructible were as fragile as tofu under Lin Qiye's spear tip, and were easily pierced and burst one after another!
Each explosion brings forth large amounts of pure abyssal essence.
Lin Qiye, on the other hand, was like a highly efficient harvester, taking all of the dissipated energy into his pocket!
This is no longer a battle.
This was a one-sided, predictable, and decisive victory!
Lin Qiye felt as if his body was a greedy vortex, frantically devouring this vast and boundless energy.
That intoxicating, powerful feeling, like the finest wine, almost made him groan out loud.
So cool!
This is ten times, even a hundred times, more exhilarating than absorbing those three extraordinary beings before!
He didn't even need to launch an attack; he could simply stand there and wait for the other party to continuously deliver the "energy packs" to his mouth!
……
Inside the cave, Liu Ruyan tried to immerse herself in cultivation, but her chaotic thoughts were like wild horses that had broken free of their reins, and she could not calm them down no matter what she did.
As soon as she activated her psionic energy, the image that appeared before her eyes was Lin Qiye's battle against the black mountains.
As soon as you concentrate, you hear a terrifying roar that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
How is he?
I hope he's alright...
Liu Ruyan's steps moved uncontrollably to the cave entrance.
In the distance, the black mist in that area was still churning, but the sounds of battle seemed to have subsided considerably.
Is it over?
A stronger sense of panic gripped her heart. She stared intently in that direction, hoping to see that familiar figure appear.
However, there was nothing but swirling black mist and deathly silence.
Liu Ruyan's heart sank little by little.
go back!
Go back and cultivate!
She said to herself.
She forced herself to turn around and walk back into the depths of the cave to resume her cultivation.
However, just a moment later, Liu Ruyan suddenly opened her eyes and rushed to the cave entrance once again...
And so it went: cultivation, then stopping, peering out of the cave entrance, only to return disappointed...
This process has been repeated countless times.
Liu Ruyan felt like she was being driven crazy by this endless worry and waiting.
Just as she was about to go over and take a look, a figure finally emerged slowly from the rolling black mist in the distance.
In that instant, Liu Ruyan felt her heart, which had been hanging on the edge of a cliff and suffering greatly, finally fall back to solid ground with a "snap".
An unprecedented sense of security and peace, like the warmest spring water, instantly flowed through her entire body.
She didn't even realize that her eyes had become slightly red.
Immediately afterwards, a strange anger welled up in my heart.
That bastard!
She quickly suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, straightened her pretty face, and tried her best to return to being the aloof and proud empress.
However, just as she was gathering her emotions and preparing to speak, the figure had already walked up to her.
Lin Qiye smiled brightly.
"You're awake? I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you and went to cultivate for a while."
Liu Ruyan stared blankly at Lin Qiye's smiling face, her own face unconsciously turning red.
At the same time, her mind went completely blank.
Cultivation?
He... he called going to cause trouble for that terrifying Black Mountain monster... cultivation?
What normal person cultivates like this?
