Su Jingzhen was still in a daze even after Luo Yuebai’s figure had completely disappeared from the room. His gaze was fixed on the ceiling, and he couldn’t help but feel a mix of surprise and unreality.
“This pain is still here, which ans it’s not just an illusion,” Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
He began to recall the events that had transpired since he t Luo Yuebai at Peach Blossom Alley.
In fact, since they t Luo Yuebai, there hasn’t been much interaction between them.
This is actually not as much as with Feng Qingya.
However, their emotional connection had reached an unprecedented level, comparable to sister-in-law Zhang Xiu whom he had known for over two years.
Su Jingzhen subconsciously raised his hands to look at them. Perhaps the rapid developnt of their relationship was related to the events of that night.
As soone who had lived two lives, Su Jingzhen had a clear understanding of many things. Upon reflection, he realized that the sudden ssage from Zou Zeyu might have played a significant role.
After that night’s events, Luo Yuebai’s emotions had likely reached the peak of “Mutual Appreciation.”
Adding his own stance on the Zou Zeyu matter, their emotional connection might have reached the fourth level, “Mutual Affection.”
This wasn’t hard to understand, especially considering Luo Yuebai’s nature as a demonic cultivator.
Demonic cultivators were known for their straightforwardness and lack of inhibitions.
Since Luo Yuebai had developed feelings for Su Jingzhen, it was natural for her to approach him directly and ask questions. Bottling up her emotions would have been out of character for her.
This might be the key reason for their rapid emotional progress.
“Regardless, now that we’ve reached Mutual Affection, I’ll be able to gain more points from Luo Yuebai. This ans that her Linjiang branch will beco my responsibility.”
Su Jingzhen’s heart was still racing with excitent as he spoke to himself. Although Luo Yuebai hadn’t expressed anything explicitly, their emotional connection was a promising start.
He felt that winning Luo Yuebai over wouldn’t take long. The future looked bright, and he couldn’t help but smile.
His gaze fell upon the footprint on his chest left by Luo Yuebai. He smiled again, feeling a sense of happiness.
“This is the mark of my happiness! I’ll never wash this shirt, it’s a keepsake!”
As the pain in his body subsided, Su Jingzhen didn’t dwell on the matter anymore.
In his opinion, things with Luo Yuebai would unfold naturally as long as he continued to improve his strength.
With their emotional connection, it was only a matter of ti before they would be together.
As for Zou Zeyu, Su Jingzhen thought that in a year’s ti, he would be nothing but a footnote.
“That Zou Zeyu is destined to be a tragic figure, no need to worry about him.”
However, Su Jingzhen’s thoughts turned to the Spiritual dicine Sect’s sudden arrival.
“How did they co so quickly? And what kind of trouble was Luo Yuebai talking about earlier?”
Luo Yuebai had been vague about the matter, leaving Su Jingzhen’s curiosity piqued.
“Could it be that the Spiritual dicine Sect encountered obstacles during their relocation?” Su Jingzhen wondered, his brow furrowed in concern.
If that were the case, it would indeed be a problem.
The Spiritual dicine Sect was responsible for providing dicinal pills to many large and small sects in the Qingzhou region.
If their plan to defect to the Evil Moon Sect was exposed, other powerful sects like the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion might intervene.
Although these sects had their own alchemists, they were scarce.
They would still need to purchase dicinal pills from the Alchemist Association or Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
However, the prices from Treasure Gathering Pavilion wouldn’t be as competitive as those from the Spiritual dicine Sect.
After all, the Spiritual dicine Sect appeared neutral but was actually vulnerable to strong-arm tactics from the larger sects.
“Let’s not worry about it for now. I’ll rest today and think about it tomorrow,” Su Jingzhen decided, pushing the thoughts aside.
As the aftereffects of the pain subsided, Su Jingzhen got up and lay down on the stone bed. The scent of Luo Yuebai’s perfu still lingered, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing.
“If things go smoothly, having Luo Yuebai as my long-term bed partner wouldn’t be bad at all,” Su Jingzhen thought, and a hint of desire appeared in his heart.
With that, he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, the sunlight streaming into his courtyard woke him up.
The aftereffects of using the “Bloodthirst” technique had completely dissipated, and Su Jingzhen had returned to his peak state.
A line of golden text appeared before him once again.
【Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 6, Luo Yuebai: 12, Dantai Xuening: 6】
【Remaining Usable Points: 344】
The daily fixed points had reached a total of 43. Even if he didn’t do anything, he could accumulate enough points to unlock the next Secret Repository in just ten days.
With just the daily emotional connection points, Su Jingzhen’s cultivation would likely surpass that of the saint, Zou Zeyu, in just a year.
Thinking about this, Su Jingzhen’s mood improved once again.
However, when he saw Zhang Xiu’s points, his brow furrowed.
It had been a long ti since he last saw Zhang Xiu, but she still provided him with daily emotional connection points, indicating that she was still alive.
However, Su Jingzhen had no idea what had happened to her.
He thought about the words Zhang Xiu had left in the valley of Clear Wind Mountain, and his heart felt complex and worried.
The system only displayed the specific level of soone when Su Jingzhen was close to them.
Even Shuang Jiang’s level had likely increased far beyond five tis the original amount, but the system couldn’t update the information since Shuang Jiang wasn’t nearby.
“I’ll have to ask about Ning Yao’s whereabouts after dealing with the current situation. I promised her that I’d take her to find Zhang Xiu together.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself as he walked out of the room.
Suddenly, a small, swift insect flew towards him.
He recognized the insect as a ssenger bug used by the demonic cultivators, including Luo Yuebai.
The bug flew to Su Jingzhen’s ear and transmitted a ssage containing information about the Spiritual dicine Sect.
Su Jingzhen’s mouth curved into a smile. Luo Yuebai hadn’t completely ignored him after all.
After adjusting his attire, Su Jingzhen headed towards the Evil Moon Sect’s residence near Clear Wind Mountain, where the people from the Spiritual dicine Sect had been arranged to stay.
Su Jingzhen’s curiosity was piqued. He wondered what kind of trouble Luo Yuebai had ntioned earlier.
