After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

Returning to Scarlet Firmament Peak, Su Tingyu greeted with a smile.

With her cultivation at the Soul Formation Stage, she was well aware of what had happened on the main peak.

She walked gracefully to Lu Bai and pinched his handsome face, saying, "Xiao Bai, your master is proud of you!"

Lu Bai was moved and embarrassed at the same time!

He was moved because he had never heard his master say these words from childhood to adulthood.

And he was embarrassed because even though he had grown up, his master still treated him like a child, pinching his face.

"Xiao Bai! In the future, get closer to Lianrou!" Su Tingyu winked.

Just like the outside world, she also thought that Lu Bai's changes were all because of You Lianrou.

When his master mentioned You Lianrou, Lu Bai couldn't help but glance at his senior sister.

Ji Fuyao's expression remained calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Su Tingyu caught this detail and immediately said with a smile, "If you prefer Fuyao, I won't object!"

"Mother!"

Ji Fuyao's cold and frosty face turned slightly red, and she glared fiercely at the two before turning and leaving.

Su Tingyu pouted.

...

The sky gradually darkened.

Lu Bai sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

Before cultivating, he wanted to try out the "Devour" skill.

Previously, when his senior sister was being "heartless," he didn't dare to try it for fear of adverse effects. Now that his senior sister had turned red, he no longer had this concern.

At most, he wouldn't be able to absorb it!

Lu Bai took out a Spirit Stone from his Universe Bag. He had just won ten thousand pieces from Fusiming, so he wasn't short on money!

With a thought, the Devour skill automatically activated!

Puff!

In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Stone in his hand turned to ashes.

But Lu Bai didn't feel any significant influx of elemental energy.

He furrowed his brows and took out another one.

Puff!

The same feeling!

Lu Bai pondered for a moment, then took out a pile of them and lay directly on top.

Puff puff... puff!

The sound of popping beans kept ringing.

Tears welled up in Lu Bai's eyes as he finally tasted the feeling of elemental energy entering his body.

However!

Isn't this too subtle?

It's still more rewarding to cultivate normally with the "Clear Heaven Formula."

Lu Bai's expression drooped, feeling greatly discouraged.

He estimated that he might need to activate the first red heart before the Devour effect could surpass normal cultivation.

Sigh! Why is it so difficult to take a shortcut!

...

In front of the Illusion Demon Hall.

For several days in a row, Lu Bai had not seen Ji Fuyao. When he asked his master, he found out that she had left the sect on a mission.

Each peak had basic mission requirements every year, and without completing them, they wouldn't receive the corresponding share of resources.

Ji Fuyao was the one who took care of the tasks for Scarlet Firmament Peak.

Yechengfeng and Lin Mu couldn't be relied upon, and Lu Bai and Chu Hongyu were not capable enough.

They could only rely on Ji Fuyao.

So, she was like a half-student, half-worker, and it was quite hard for her!

Lu Bai sighed softly.

He wanted to help his senior sister.

But at this stage, he had more desire than ability, so he should focus on cultivating first.

During the day, Lu Bai persisted in going to the "Illusion Demon Hall" to be tortured. At night, he either meditated or pondered and practiced the "Yanyu Pingsheng" sword technique.

Time passed quickly.

One day.

The sky was drizzling, matching the misty clouds and peaks, resembling a fairyland on earth.

Lu Bai looked at this scene and felt that it was very similar to the charm emitted by the "Yanyu Pingsheng" sword technique.

The more he looked, the more absorbed he became.

Then, Lu Bai's consciousness flickered, and he entered that mysterious space again.

There was also mist and drizzle floating here.

And that blurry figure was still dancing with the sword tirelessly.

For a long time!

Lu Bai slowly woke up.

He stirred up his spiritual energy, causing the raindrops around him to scatter in all directions.

Second level of Qi Refining?

I actually broke through like this out of nowhere!

...

Thump thump!

"Hongyu, come out and practice with senior brother!"

In an instant, Chu Hongyu appeared. She was wearing a light yellow chiffon dress, elegant and graceful.

"No!" Chu Hongyu pouted and refused.

Last time in the back mountain, she was injured by senior brother and it took her several days to recover. She didn't want to fight!

"Don't you want to play in the water?" Lu Bai used a trick to entice children.

"Play in the water?" Chu Hongyu's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay!"

...

In the drizzle, the two stood facing each other.

"Let's make it clear, the power cannot exceed the early stage of Qi Refining!" Lu Bai felt a bit embarrassed, having to ask the other party to go easy on him when fighting a child.

"Okay!" Chu Hongyu nodded in agreement, then eagerly attacked Lu Bai.

She used... the Water Splash Kick technique!

Lu Bai reached out and slapped, splashing water all over himself.

Giggles!

Chu Hongyu laughed while holding her waist.

Lu Bai showed a helpless expression. He wanted to have a serious exchange with his junior sister, but she only wanted to play with him!

Never mind.

Lu Bai prepared himself a little and gradually entered the state of "Misty Rain in a Lifetime".

He formed his fingers into a sword and attacked Chu Hongyu.

At first, Chu Hongyu was still playing around, but gradually, under Lu Bai's pressure, she had to take it seriously.

For a while, sword energy filled the small courtyard, and figures flew around.

Lu Bai became more and more relaxed as he fought, many moves came naturally to him.

Chu Hongyu puffed her cheeks, feeling a bit sore in her wrist.

Unconsciously, she forgot senior brother's instructions and elevated her realm to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Lu Bai instantly felt the pressure multiply.

At this moment!

He waved his hand, and a substantial sword energy appeared out of thin air.

Chu Hongyu immediately wanted to shatter it upon seeing it.

But after she waved her palm, she found that the sword energy not only did not dissipate, but instead floated like willow catkins, making it difficult to grasp.

Then, Lu Bai made several consecutive slashes, releasing more than a dozen sword energies.

These sword energies intertwined and formed a cage, instantly binding Chu Hongyu and rendering her unable to move.

"Senior brother!" Chu Hongyu struggled and complained.

Lu Bai was interrupted and slowly woke up from the state of "Misty Rain in a Lifetime".

Hmm?

He widened his eyes instantly!

He saw Chu Hongyu, soaked through by the rain, her thin chiffon dress clinging tightly to her body. Outside was the "Sword Energy Cage," which accentuated her curvaceous figure.

"Let's stop here for today!" Lu Bai waved his hand and dispersed the sword energy, then hurriedly left.

"Aren't we playing anymore?" Chu Hongyu scratched her head.

Back in his own courtyard, Lu Bai reviewed the battle in his mind.

Not only did he initially grasp the "Misty Rain in a Lifetime" sword technique, but he also comprehended a derivative skill with sealing properties.

Misty Rain Bind!

...

Seven days later.

It was time for Lu Bai to go down the mountain to buy supplies.

He rode his flying sword straight to Sangyu City.

A month ago, it was here that the system awakened again, and he entangled the first strand of affection with You Lianrou, who chased him all the way to the mountain gate.

Now thinking back, it was quite nostalgic!

If it weren't for that turning point, he would still be a useless nobody on Scarlet Firmament Peak, living a carefree life without any expectations.

Now, everything has changed, and he will embark on a different path.

Upon arriving in Sangyu City, Lu Bai purchased everything he needed and then, inexplicably, found himself walking to the place where he first met You Lianrou.

Recalling the scene at that time, a faint smile appeared on Lu Bai's lips!

"Judging by your appearance, are you thinking of me?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind, bringing Lu Bai's thoughts back to reality.

He turned around slowly.

Instantly, his heart tightened.

Stammering, he said, "How... how did you end up here?"
