Chapter 500: Smooth Resolution

The crisis caused by the Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan had not disappeared. Fortunately, Zhou Luo had made Shu Hongliu take the Third Level spiritual potion beforehand, repairing her meridians.

Otherwise, if dual cultivation had proceeded in her prior condition, Shu Hongliu would have been instantly destroyed by the surging Pure Yang Energy, with her meridians and dantian burned away.

After Zhou Luo fed her a Second Level spiritual potion, the potion’s power also helped her suppress the two clashing forces.

But this was far from enough.

Shu Hongliu tightly shut her eyes, furrowed her brows, and wore an expression of agony on her face.

She was not Wang Yu Wei, her mindset far less resilient than hers.

So when the two forces erupted, her mind slipped into disarray for a moment.

All her actions afterward became nearly instinctual.

As for relying on her own strength to suppress it, not only had her meridians and dantian just recovered, but those forces were intensely surging; even at her peak, she probably wouldn’t have had a good solution.

At this critical moment, Zhou Luo suddenly grasped her arm; a faint light glowed from his palm as a pure gentle force flowed through her skin into her body.

That force helped her suppress the wild forces; precisely with this aid, the situation gradually stabilized.

Zhou Luo closed his eyes, only to feel the power within his body rapidly dissipating, all poured into her body.

However, he seized the chance to release the previously suppressed Pure Yang Energy; with the help of the Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan, he began converting that energy into his own strength.

Time slowly passed, and Shu Hongliu’s knitted brows gradually relaxed; her pale face no longer showed pain, and her consciousness returned bit by bit.

Just a moment earlier, she had felt encased in a bog, with darkness before her eyes, her entire body covered in mud, unable to breathe freely.

At that instant, she could scarcely consider the state of her own body and could only wait helplessly.

Luckily, Zhou Luo’s arrival gave her the means to resist.

Now, the Pure Yang Energy had been fully subdued; guided by the Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan, it was exchanging and absorbing with the power within Zhou Luo’s body.

Since her body was stabilizing, they could continue the dual cultivation technique.

Zhou Luo gazed at the delicate figure before him; without holding back, he leaned over and began a new round of dual cultivation…

The next morning, morning light spilled into the room, and the new day arrived punctually.

After a night of dual cultivation, the exhausted Shu Hongliu quietly lay in Zhou Luo’s arms, her head resting against his broad, warm chest; a faint smile played on her lips as if from a sweet dream.

Zhou Luo held her and slowly opened his eyes.

For him, last night’s dual cultivation was equally draining, particularly ensuring the technique’s power wasn’t too strong; otherwise, Shu Hongliu couldn’t have endured it.

Thankfully, it was a close call without harm; this dual cultivation had gone extremely smoothly, and the Yin and Yang energy within her body was once again balanced.

Provided they repeated this until her meridians returned to normal, dual cultivation would become straightforward, and she would never need to fear attacks from Pure Yang Energy again.

Of course, this only treated the symptoms, not the root; the key was to find a way to suppress her Dragon Yang Body completely.

For that, Zhou Luo had no solution; he could only see later if another approach existed.

At least for now, Shu Hongliu need not worry about her life being threatened.

Holding the sleeping beauty, Zhou Luo bent down and kissed her forehead.

This startled her awake.

Shu Hongliu opened her eyes, enchanting eyes like silk.

"Husband, you woke up?" She wore a smile, feeling delighted.

Having escaped the shadow of death, her whole body and mind became extremely relaxed.

Moreover, last night, she had even opened the door to a new world.

At this moment, her delicate and fair face pressed against Zhou Luo, lifting her head, her beautiful eyes flickering with light radiance.

Zhou Luo smiled slightly, and with one motion picked her up; her soft and charming body was easily pulled on top with his large hands.

Then, there was another fierce battle.

It wasn’t until noon that Shu Hongliu awoke from the bed.

As for Zhou Luo, he had awakened early; unknown where he was now.

She put on her clothes, walked out of the room, and headed downstairs.

"Master Manager."

The manager on the second floor saw her and bowed respectfully.

"Uncle Liu, I’ve troubled you during these days." Shu Hongliu said with a laugh.

During these days, she was busy solving her body’s issue; the shop’s business and cooperation with the Zhou family were all handled by this old man in front of her.

He was also the manager who had been with her the longest, deeply trusted by her.

Manager Liu shook his head with a smile: "It wasn’t hard; rather, Master Manager, you finally smiled."

As he said these words, Manager Liu’s aged face showed a gratified smile, and tears glimmered in his eyes.

He had personally witnessed her hardship; every time he remembered she was about to die young, it gave him great sorrow.

Now, seeing it like this, his master manager’s body issue was finally resolved, unavoidably making him happy.

Shu Hongliu smiled lightly and didn’t explain too much.

"Where is Zhou Luo?"

"Family Head Zhou said he wanted to go out for a trip; unknown where he is now." Manager Liu bowed his head and replied.

"Good, you go and tend to your work." Shu Hongliu nodded.

It wasn’t until near evening that Zhou Luo returned from outside.

"Husband, where did you go?"

Shu Hongliu stood in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Nothing much; just bought some alchemy materials, so that during our dual cultivation, you won’t have to worry about losing control again." Zhou Luo said.

During the daytime, he specifically went to the city to search for materials for second-level potions; the purpose was naturally to make the dual cultivation smoother and let Shu Hongliu suffer less pain.

Now that Shu Hongliu was already his woman, naturally he had to take care of her.

Upon hearing these words, Shu Hongliu was stunned for a moment before her eyes slightly reddened.

Without warning, she suddenly stepped forward, grabbed him in an embrace, and her thin lips softly kissed his lips.

There were no words, only ardent emotion poured out wildly through her action.

At this moment, the softness in Shu Hongliu’s heart was once again stirred; she was moved by Zhou Luo’s thoughtfulness.

For the first time, she realized that someone would care for her in the future.

Therefore, at this moment, she didn’t wish to do anything else, only thinking to convey her love to him with her body.

This was the most direct and also the most effective method.

Zhou Luo didn’t expect that his action would provoke such a strong reaction from her.

Feeling the love conveyed through their lips, he also embraced her and tenderly responded.

It was another night of dual cultivation.

And this was only the beginning.

Over the next month, the two were always dual cultivating.

Under the nourishment from Zhou Luo, who was a second level Pill Master, Shu Hongliu’s meridians and dantian gradually recovered; it was no longer as strenuous as before.

Just as Zhou Luo was still dual cultivating in Jinyun Immortal City, far away beyond ten thousand li in the Wan Gu Sect, Yao Wu encountered a troublesome matter.
