Chapter 44: Ambiguous Farewell, Immortal Herb, Here I Come!
Lanba Academy, Dean's Office.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the large carved glass windows, painting the room with a warm golden hue.
There is a faint sense of ambiguity in the air...
Liu Erlong leaned lazily on the edge of the large desk, her curves breathtaking under the soft light.
She was not wearing her usual smart dean's attire, but a soft and close-fitting dark red velvet dress.
The neckline of the long skirt was not low, but the perfect tailoring outlined her full and proud breasts to the fullest. As she leaned forward slightly, a thrilling deep cleavage was formed.
Her slender waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand, and it extended to a plump and perky hip line. At the slit of her long skirt, a round calf wrapped in thin black stockings was faintly visible. Her toes were tiptoed with an exquisite high-heeled shoe, which was swaying slightly unconsciously.
Her long, smooth hair was not tied up, but draped over her shoulders like a ribbon, with a few strands playfully hanging down on her smooth forehead and graceful collarbone.
That face that used to be so majestic and cold was now stained with an intoxicating blush, like a ripe peach. Her eyes were shimmering, lacking the sharpness of a dean, but instead possessing the lazy charm and a hint of a mature woman...
The satisfied feeling after being moisturized.
Her red lips were slightly swollen, with a moist luster, and a smile that seemed to be both angry and happy hung at the corner of her lips.
She tilted her head slightly, letting Xiao Yin, who was standing in front of her, use his slender fingers to button up the buttons at the neckline of her long dress one by one.
His movements were slow, and his fingertips occasionally inevitably brushed against the delicate and warm skin on the side of her neck, causing a slight shudder.
"Hmph... little bastard... where are you putting your hands?"
Liu Erlong's voice had a raspy nasal quality, and it sounded more like a flirtatious scolding than a scolding.
She raised her jade finger, pretending to knock away Xiao Yin's "unruly" hand.
Instead of stopping, Xiao Yin took advantage of the situation to grab her outstretched wrist, and with a gentle pull, he took this hot and delicate body exuding mature charm into his arms.
The warmth and softness of the breast filled his embrace, and the amazing elasticity and fullness of the breast pressed against his chest made Xiao Yin's eyes darken.
"What? The dean is crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"
Xiao Yin lowered his head, his hot breath spraying on Liu Erlong's sensitive earlobe, "Just now... who was pestering me?"
He glanced meaningfully at the slightly messy dean's chair behind the desk.
"You...shut up!"
Liu Erlong's face turned red instantly, and she punched him on the chest in embarrassment, but the force was weak.
She buried her hot cheek in Xiao Yin's neck, greedily breathing in the unique scent on his body, and said in a muffled voice:
"Dugu Bo's side... is there really no problem? That place sounds weird... And that Dugu Yan..."
Liu Erlong's tone was filled with worry, with a subtle hint of sourness.
"Rest assured."
Xiao Yin tightened his arms, feeling the warmth and attachment in his arms, and a warm current also surged in his heart.
"Dugu Bo has a request for me, so he dare not act rashly. Although the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes is a dangerous place, it is also a treasure land, which will be of great benefit to my cultivation. As for Dugu Yan..."
He paused, his tone tinged with mischief, "She was just a patient I saved. In my eyes, she's not even a fraction as charming as our dean."
"Smooth talk!"
Liu Erlong raised her head and glared at him in reproach, but the gleam in her phoenix eyes revealed her inner enjoyment.
She stretched out her jade finger and tapped Xiao Yin's nose, her tone carrying a hint of forced ferocity: "Remember this, old lady! Two months! Two months at most!
"You must return here in one piece! If you lose even a hair, or... or get seduced by that enchanting little snake girl..."
She didn't finish her words, but her eyes were full of threats.
"As you command, my Lord Dean."
Xiao Yin chuckled softly, leaned over and placed a soothing kiss on her smooth forehead.
An ambiguous atmosphere flows in the warm light of the setting sun, carrying with it the tenderness of parting.
The two of them stayed affectionate for a while until the sky outside the window became completely dark.
Xiao Yin loosened his embrace and finally straightened Liu Erlong's messy clothes and hair. His eyes regained clarity and determination.
"I'm leaving. Wait until I come back."
Liu Erlong stood by the window, watching Xiao Yin's figure blend into the dark night of the Academy until he disappeared.
The charm and laziness in the phoenix eyes gradually faded away, and the sharpness and decisiveness of the dean of Lanba Academy were re-condensed, but deep in the eyes, there was a heavy concern.
"Smelly boy...you must come back safely..."
The night is dark.
Xiao Yin's figure silently appeared again at the entrance of the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes Valley.
The seven-colored poisonous miasma set up by Dugu Bo was useless to him. The aura of the black cauldron flowed slightly, silently swallowing and decomposing the approaching poisonous miasma.
He did not disturb Dugu Bo who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing on the cliff platform at the other end, nor did he go to see Dugu Yan who was recuperating in the makeshift wooden house.
His goal is clear - a precious Immortal Herb!
The moonlight shines through the gaps in the mist above the valley, covering the exotic flowers and plants with a hazy veil.
Xiao Yin's gaze fell precisely on several Immortal Herbs that were emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.
"Looking through the autumn water dew...Tempering the Spiritual eyes, seeing through illusions!"
"Eight-petaled Immortal Orchid... Strengthens the body and improves the quality of soul power!"
"Fiery Apricot Delicate... Temper the fire element, strengthen the body and Spirit!"
"Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass... condenses the heart of ice and strengthens the meridians!"
"The Beautiful Silk Tulip… indestructible, full of energy!"
"Narcissus jade muscles and bones...cleansing essence and marrow, jade bones and icy muscles!"
"Beautiful Silk Tulip... absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and can neutralize all poisons!"
"How can I pick it secretly without that old poisonous creature noticing?"
Xiao Yin secretly planned in his heart.
Although he knew that Dugu Bo did not recognize these Immortal Herbs, he could still feel the extraordinary energy in them. If he picked them rashly, he would definitely become suspicious!
"There's still a long way to go... But we have to get the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass as soon as possible. We need them to build the Ice-Fire Chain Golden Body!"
-----------------
Two months passed quietly.
In the center of the valley, on a flat black stone near the blazing Yangquan.
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and the dark green soul power around his body flowed slowly like sticky venom.
He was shirtless, revealing his lean but terrifying back.
At this moment, his pale face was no longer the sickly grayish-white color of the past, but upon closer inspection, one could still see countless dark green lines penetrating deep into the skin.
Xiao Yin stood behind him, his expression focused, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He did not summon the huge black cauldron, but just pressed his right hand on the Xinshu point on Dugu Bo's back.
In the palm of his hand, a dark golden chaotic airflow that was as condensed as a substance slowly rotated, emitting the original breath of devouring and refining.
"Concentrate! Attract the poison!"
Xiao Yin let out a low cry, and a faint light flashed from his palm!
Buzz!
That ball of dark golden chaotic energy penetrated into Dugu Bo's body in an instant like a living thing!
"Well--!"
