Chapter 864
Thinking of this, he stated directly, "I’ve almost understood the matters on the battlefield, but there are still some questions."
Yuan Tianqing responded with a smile, "Oh? What questions?"
Qin Qi smiled at Bai Qingrou, "For this, I need to ask the Holy Maiden for some clarification!"
Yuan Tianqing was taken aback, unsure of what Qin Qi was up to.
He glanced at Bai Qingrou.
Surprisingly, Bai Qingrou did not refuse but said, "Alright, come with me for a while. I’ll explain the battlefield matters to you clearly!"
This left Yuan Tianqing confused, like a monk halfway up the mountain, unable to figure it out.
"Could it be that senior sister has some special task for this guy?"
Yuan Tianqing didn’t think much of it and watched Qin Qi and Bai Qingrou leave.
Soon, Bai Qingrou led Qin Qi to the pavilion they had visited before.
Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, she activated the soundproof array, just like before.
Qin Qi squinted his eyes in amusement.
After all, to talk privately,
Bai Qingrou could have taken him to any uninhabited place for a conversation.
There was really no need to activate this soundproof array.
This fully indicated Bai Qingrou’s attitude towards dual cultivation.
And Bai Qingrou, leading Qin Qi into the pavilion, spoke coldly, "Qin Qi, go ahead, what else do you not understand that you need to ask me?"
Qin Qi grinned, "Nothing, really."
"Nothing? Then what did you mean by saying those words earlier?" Bai Qingrou glared, her tone severe as she scolded.
Qin Qi’s mouth turned up.
Bai Qingrou understood everything but still pretended not to get it.
Oh well.
He’d just give her an out.
Qin Qi smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, to be honest, I’d like to engage in dual cultivation with you once more!"
Bai Qingrou’s face flushed instantly as she angrily shouted, "Qin Qi, what do you mean? I already engaged in dual cultivation with you once, yet you dare to make such an unreasonable request to me."
"What, are you looking to die?"
Seeing Bai Qingrou angry, Qin Qi felt somewhat unsure.
After all, everything he knew about Bai Qingrou was merely speculation!
But at this point, he obviously had no way out.
He could only speak boldly, "Holy Maiden, after our last dual cultivation, although my cultivation improved, I still feel like something is missing."
"I think if we could engage in dual cultivation again, my cultivation might improve further!"
"Therefore, I made such an unreasonable request, with no other intentions, hoping the Holy Maiden would agree!"
Bai Qingrou sternly rebuked, "Qin Qi, there’s no chance of that!"
This made Qin Qi’s mind anxious.
Could he have guessed wrong?
In truth, Bai Qingrou wasn’t interested in dual cultivation at all?
But if that were really the case, why did she bring him to her resting pavilion and activate the soundproof array?
Thinking this, Qin Qi decided to change his strategy.
He spoke calmly, "I intended to enhance my cultivation to be more impactful in the upcoming battle."
"Since the Holy Maiden is unwilling, let’s forget it!"
"I shall take my leave now!"
Saying this, Qin Qi turned to leave.
But Bai Qingrou paused, her heart filled with urgency.
"This scoundrel!"
She bit her silver teeth.
Clearly wanting to dual cultivate with him, couldn’t he be more sincere and insist a bit longer?
As the Holy Maiden of Tianlan Sect and a Core Formation Stage expert,
it’s an exceptional fortune for a younger person to desire dual cultivation with her.
However, if Qin Qi truly left, what was she to do about the unstable cultivation from before?
Moreover, the pleasant sensation of cultivation from last time lingered in her soul, unforgettable.
Yesterday, as she tried to calm herself for training, all she could see in her mind was Qin Qi’s figure, unable to erase it.
With these thoughts, Bai Qingrou immediately said, "Wait!"
Qin Qi stopped his steps to leave, "Does the Holy Maiden still have something else?"
Bai Qingrou coldly questioned, "If we engage in dual cultivation again, how much will your cultivation improve?"
Qin Qi’s mouth slowly turned up, "As expected..."
Women are always the same.
No matter their age, their status, or cultivation, they are always the same.
Fervently desiring something in their heart.
Yet never admitting it!
Qin Qi replied cheerfully, "To be honest, after the last dual cultivation, my cultivation reached the Fifth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
"If we can engage in dual cultivation twice more, advancing to the Sixth Layer of the Foundation Establish Establishment Stage shouldn’t be a problem. Even if lucky, I might reach the Seventh Layer in one go."
"Of course, this is all uncertain. However, the higher my cultivation, the more effective I can be against the Evil Demon!"
He knew well enough that Bai Qingrou simply wanted an excuse.
As long as he provided a sufficient one, that was enough!
Everything went as he anticipated.
Bai Qingrou slightly raised her brows, showing a look of deep contemplation.
Qin Qi couldn’t help teasing, "Holy Maiden, if it’s truly difficult, then forget it."
Bai Qingrou felt infuriated internally, biting her lip.
If it was truly difficult, she’d have slain him already.
And whether it’s difficult or not, can’t he wait for her to finish speaking?
But worried Qin Qi might give up again, she could only part her lips slightly, "Fine, for the sake of Tianqing City and the achievements of Tianlan Sect. It’s no big deal for me to make some sacrifices!"
"However, just like before, we’ll only engage in the fusion of Yin and Yang Qi for dual cultivation. You mustn’t have any other improper thoughts!"
"Otherwise, I certainly won’t spare you lightly!"
Qin Qi’s heart was overjoyed.
See!
Despite her intense desire for dual cultivation, how righteous she sounds?
But of course, he wouldn’t expose that, "Naturally!"
"Alright, let’s not waste time, let’s begin!"
Bai Qingrou sat cross-legged.
Qin Qi sat down as well!
Very quickly, the fusion of Yin and Yang Qi began.
And Bai Qingrou, just like before, activated the Yin Yang Pure Maiden Skill, quickly entering the enchanting state of dual cultivation.
"Good, how wonderful!"
"This is the feeling I’ve been longing for!"
"No, I want more, just a bit more!"
Soon, just like last time, she was drawn to the abundant Yang Qi.
Her eyes sparkled with exquisite light.
Then, she lunged towards the direction of the Yang Qi.
In the physical space, Qin Qi’s mouth curled into a grin.
Because Bai Qingrou had already dived into his embrace, erratically searching over his body, trying to locate the source of the Yang Qi!
