When she said this, her feelings were complicated and she felt strange.
It was as if she had done something wrong to Xiao Qi, as if she had seduced Chu Li and caused him to have a change of heart.
However, she knew that Chu Li had never had a change of heart. If he was like that with her beauty, it would be even harder for other women.
If Chu Li easily fell in love with her and fell in love with her, she would look down on him. Even if they were intimate and cultivated together, she would still look down on him from the bottom of her heart.
However, Chu Li restrained himself and did not fall in love with her. Instead, she admired him and respected him from the bottom of her heart. This made her feel complicated and messy. She could not completely understand what exactly she was feeling.
Chu Li slowly nodded.
What was to come would come eventually. Paper could not wrap fire, but he did not expect it to happen so soon. He did not dare to say that he had a clear conscience. He felt very guilty towards Xiao Qi and did not know what to say.
Sun Mingyue reluctantly stretched out her jade-like arm and gently pushed him away. Chu Li nodded.
The two of them separated, feeling disappointed and frustrated. They hurriedly put on their clothes and left the cave.
Chu Li communicated with the Evil Nether Dragon for a while. Then, he floated to the pool and left Ten Despair Valley with Sun Mingyue. They stood at the peak.
It was already noon. The sun was bright and the surrounding mountains were green. It was a magnificent view.
Sun Mingyue said, "Come and find me in ten days."
Chu Li nodded. "Okay, ten days."
He took out a crystal clear red pearl and handed it to Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue took it and looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li said, "This is Tang Haotian's blood."
When he was controlling the Evil Nether Dragon earlier, he swept Tang Haotian's blood over with his palm energy. Then, he used his extremely cold and Yin inner energy to freeze it, forming two blood pearls.
With the blood pearls, he could use the All-Seeing Divine Power to sense Tang Haotian's location. Even if Tang Haotian was an Enlightened Master and had other personal items, it would be difficult for the divine power to sense him. However, with the blood pearls, he could.
If he had such a divine power, Sun Mingyue might not have the same. The Holy Church of Light's secret skills were not something he could guess. With the blood pearls, Sun Mingyue might be able to do many things just like him.
It could also be considered a spoil of war. It could protect Sun Mingyue from being ambushed by Tang Haotian, and it could also prevent Tang Haotian from crippling her in a fit of rage.
"Alright, I'll keep it." Sun Mingyue put away the blood bead and revealed a moving smile before vanishing.
Chu Li disappeared as well. The next moment, he appeared in his own courtyard in the Public House.
Xiao Qi was sitting cross-legged on a white cattail hassock under the Glory's Will Tree. She was motionless as if she was meditating.
When Xue Ling saw him, she came forward to greet him.
Chu Li looked at her and asked softly, "How long have you been meditating?"
"Four hours." Xue Ling lowered her voice and said, "My injuries are almost healed."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi gently opened her eyes, and two bright rays of light shot out from her eyes and landed on Chu Li.
Chu Li waved his hand and gestured for her to leave.
Xue Ling curtsied and left gracefully, closing the door of the courtyard.
Chu Li approached Xiao Qi and touched her wrist.
Xiao Qi did not struggle and let him check her pulse.
Chu Li released his fingers in surprise and held her hand. "You've improved a lot in your cultivation level. Congratulations!"
He realized that Xiao Qi's cultivation level had doubled. It was a shocking speed and it was really unexpected. He did not expect her to have a breakthrough in her cultivation level under such circumstances.
Her cultivation level had improved because of the Regal Sword Scripture. When the Regal Sword Scripture advanced a level, her state of mind must have changed. The Regal Sword Scripture cultivated the state of mind. Only when the state of mind changed, the cultivation level would change.
Initially, as his soul energy grew stronger, he could faintly feel her thoughts. Although it was a little blurry, he could still vaguely see some of it. However, at this time, he could not sense it at all as if he was wrapped in a thick fog.
He had a bad feeling that Xiao Qi's cultivation level increased was not a good thing, and the change in her state of mind was not good for him either.
The Regal Sword Scripture was indeed troublesome, and it was difficult to overcome the state of mind. He had previously thought of various methods, but they were gradually losing their effectiveness.
"I've implicated you again this time, haven't I?" Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li shook his head. "Tang Haotian has been planning this for a long time. He'll always find a chance. This time, I've implicated Madam!"
A smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face. "You … You must thank the Saint this time. Next time, invite her to our residence as a guest. You must thank her properly. Without her, we'd all be dead."
Chu Li smiled. "Let's help each other."
"Mm, let's help each other." Xiao Qi nodded. "You can help her, and she can help you too. Unlike me, I'm useless to you."
Chu Li was stunned. "Madam …"
Xiao Qi sighed. "I've been hesitating whether I should leave completely so that I can be myself again and cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture. This time, I've met Tang Haotian and realized how useless I am. I've made up my mind. Chu Li, I'm leaving!"
Chu Li forced a smile. "Okay, you can go out and gain experience. You can come back when you're tired."
Xiao Qi said, "After I leave, you can stay with Lu Yurong and the Saint."
Chu Li was stunned.
Xiao Qi said, "Although Lu Yurong is smart, she's completely restrained by you. It's not surprising that she likes you. It's rare that the Saint likes you too."
Chu Li felt bad. "Madam, why are you saying this!"
His heart sank. He knew that he was going to lose Xiao Qi again.
Ever since he got married, he had been worried about this. He did not expect this day to come. Xiao Qi was carrying too many things on her shoulders. She could not do things purely and could not completely abandon the Regal Sword Scripture.
If she could not abandon the Regal Sword Scripture, this day would definitely come.
He sighed. "Madam, you have a new understanding of the Regal Sword Scripture?"
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded. "Actually, I should give up on the scripture but it was given to me by my mother. I can't abandon it or I won't be able to face my mother when I go to the Outland."
Chu Li looked at her affectionately. "Then you can only abandon me."
Xiao Qi looked apologetic and held his hand. "I can only let you down."
Chu Li sighed. Strangely, he did not feel angry or sad. Instead, he felt calm.
Xiao Qi's eyes flickered. She said softly, "Husband, even without me, you still have Lu Yurong and the Saint. You won't be lonely and I can cultivate in peace."
Chu Li sighed. "Without you, madam, what's the point of having more women!"
Xiao Qi pursed her lips and chuckled. She shook her head. "Are you going to force me to stay?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes."
Xiao Qi said, "My current state of mind is calm and indifferent. Everything in the world is useless to me. Husband, you're the same. It's hard for me to be moved. If I force myself to be with you, I'll be like a walking corpse. Why bother?"
Chu Li said impatiently, "Even a walking corpse is better than you leaving."
Xiao Qi said, "If I want to leave, how can you stop me, husband?"
"Ah …" Chu Li sighed. "You …"
Xiao Qi looked at him apologetically. Her eyes were clear and calm.
Chu Li stared at her but could not persuade or stop her.
He scoffed. "If you can really cultivate, will you become an Enlightened Master?"
"Yes."
"It'll be difficult!" Chu Li scoffed. "Achieving that state of mind is just a matter of luck!"
"I still have to try," Xiao Qi said. "You have your path to become an Enlightened Master, and I have mine."
"Fine, do what you want." Chu Li waved his hand and smiled.
