The next day,
Luo Yu came to Shui Yue'er's door early in the morning, thinking that as a true man who had traveled far from China, he should be able to apologize.
"Creak"
The sound of the wooden door opening rang out. Luo Yu, who was sitting on the steps with his chin resting on his hand, immediately looked up.
A leg clad in ice-blue stockings first came into view. The slender, beautiful leg matched the graceful and slender body, which was very pleasing to the eye. Strangely, only one leg was covered with stockings, while the other revealed a fair and delicate leg, revealing a unique exotic charm.
"Shui Yue…"
Luo Yu's words were cut short because the flowing, water-blue hair immediately identified the person.
"Luo Yu?" Shui Bing'er felt it strange to see Luo Yu standing at the door as she walked out of her room.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh..."
I can't just say I bullied your sister yesterday and came to apologize today, can I?
Luo Yu pointed at Shui Yue'er's room and said, "I came to play with her."
Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, her voice like a songbird, but with a different emotion: "Luo Yu, my sister might be a little playful. You can go for walks together, but don't delay her cultivation, and..."
Shui Bing'er didn't finish the rest of her sentence. What she wanted to say was that Luo Yu was, after all, just an ordinary person, while Shui Yue'er's cultivation talent was among the best in Skywater Academy. There was no possibility of them being together.
Luo Yu was clear-minded and naturally understood the implication of Shui Bing'er's words. He couldn't help but feel a bit amused. When had he ever delayed anyone? He was too busy avoiding trouble before.
If he had a fault, could it be that he was too good-looking and had too much class?
Ugh.
Luo Yu felt a bit disgusted, wondering if that thought was a bit pretentious. But it seemed to be the truth…
There was nothing he could do if the heavens favored him. Actually, he personally wanted to make his mark through strength.
Shui Bing'er, seeing his expression, thought Luo Yu hadn't understood. However, given her personality, she couldn't bring herself to say anything mean or hurtful. She shook her head and sighed before walking away.
On the road to her training, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but think of that handsome, imposing face.
For some reason, she felt that she and Luo Yu were very similar every time she saw him. However, their figures, ages, and temperaments were different, and their strengths were beyond comprehension.
Thinking of that person's unfathomable strength and the temperament of a banished immortal, Shui Bing'er looked up at the sky, a gleam of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Will there be another chance to see you, Senior Lei Feng?"
"Bing'er hasn't properly thanked you yet."
Meanwhile, no one had come out of Shui Yue'er's room for a long time. If Luo Yu hadn't pressed his ear to the door and heard movement inside, he might have just barged in.
If the person inside had heard his conversation with Shui Bing'er, they would likely have come out to meet him. If they didn't want to see him, knocking on the door would probably just result in being turned away.
Luo Yu decided to wait a little longer. He had nothing else to do, so he started practicing the body-refining techniques he had learned in his previous life in the small courtyard in front of the door: the Shuai Bei Qin Long Shou and the Five Organs Tempering Yuan Technique.
Soon, Luo Yu entered a state of self-forgetfulness within the powerful, wind-whipping movements of his palms.
With every movement, his bones seemed to crackle and pop rhythmically. His body moved with a graceful, dragon-like fluidity, and the muscles all over his body tightened, like coiling dragons. A masculine energy began to emerge from his handsome, refined aura.
It had to be said that Luo Yu's rapid rise to the position of ruler in his previous life was not just due to his innate talent and bloodline, but also to his unwavering dedication to practice, day and night.
A bead of crystal-clear sweat trickled down his angular features and landed on the ground. A pair of watery eyes were peering in through the crack in the window, drawn by the sounds from outside. Seeing what was happening, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
For a moment, the girl was mesmerized, her gaze seeming to be instantly drawn in.
But when she thought about what the man had done to her, she was like a frightened fawn, shaking her head to regain her senses and retreating.
After the time it takes for a few incense sticks to burn.
"Huu…"
Luo Yu gasped for breath, sitting unceremoniously on the blue brick floor. His clothes were soaked through, and huge beads of sweat rolled down his neck.
The effort wasn't without reward; his physical strength had improved in this moment, but Luo Yu shook his head in dissatisfaction.
At this rate of body refinement, it would probably take at least a year to withstand the pressure brought by the quality of his martial soul. Luo Yu could grit his teeth and endure the hardship of cultivation, but that would only be if he had no other choice.
He wouldn't consider the techniques for now. The Shuai Bei Qin Long Shou and the Five Organs Tempering Yuan Technique were both body refinement techniques he had accidentally memorized, as the 'Night Errand Official' clan didn't need to refine their bodies.
Besides cultivation techniques, the only other option is to rely on external objects.
I heard that training under a waterfall is good for resisting pressure? Or maybe training with weights?
Luo Yu patted his forehead. He didn't have any bitter enemies, nor was he suffering the shame of a broken engagement. He also didn't have any brainless dogs constantly mocking him. The most he had were some female admirers who were after his good looks.
Is self-inflicted suffering a way to improve strength? Forget it, no need to make things difficult for myself, for now.
Suddenly, Luo Yu's eyes lit up; how could he have forgotten this crucial point?
How did Xiao San become a god at twenty-five? Various opportunities came his way, and the most important were the added soul bones and taking pills!
Having a full set of soul bones plus the Ice Fire Golden Body was no joke, right?
If that's the case, then there are two shortcuts in front of me.
"Should I get a soul bone or pop some pills?"
Luo Yu muttered to himself, seemingly weighing his options. Then, he used his perception to gauge the accumulated dark night energy within his bloodline.
"If I get a subpar soul bone, I won't have time to replace it. And it's not easy to find a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. I can't just go to the Star Dou Great Forest right now and chop up the Titan and the cow python."
The problem was that he wasn't even sure where the ten great凶兽 were. He guessed they were probably hiding at the bottom of that water bubble in the center of the forest. Better to be cautious.
"仙草 are easier to deal with. The Ice Fire Dual-Polar Eyes is a good place. Little Sanzi probably hasn't defeated the Royal Sky Battle Team at this point, nor has he been captured by Dugu Bo. I can find an opportunity to harvest a wave beforehand."
Thinking that he could transform again in a few days, and considering the approximate comparison of his strength when dealing with the Soul Sage last time, Luo Yu pondered for a moment. He then thought of his three broken Spirit Artifacts, and a look of decisiveness appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, it's you, old man. Two days is enough time to formulate a plan. Don't worry, I'm not here to rob you; I'm here to save you, you old poison."
Ugh, I forgot the main thing. Wasn't I here to apologize?
Luo Yu patted himself down and got up. Shui Yue'er didn't seem like she was going to come out, so he decided to knock on the door and ask.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Get out!" A cold voice came from inside the room, without even asking who was outside.
"Oh." Luo Yu was just about to apologize, but he retracted it when he heard the icy voice.
Shui Yue'er: "???"
"I'll come again next time."
The man's serious voice came from outside the door, and the sound of footsteps faded away.
Shui Yue'er's complicated expression instantly turned blank.
"This guy waited all morning, and then just left after saying that??"
"You'd think he'd give up, but he said he'd be back. You'd think he wasn't sincere, but he waited all morning and didn't show any sign of annoyance, and his attitude was very sincere."
Shui Yue'er sat on the bed, her eyes, noticeably red and swollen, looked a little dazed, unable to describe her complex feelings at the moment.
