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

You Lianrou's dress was torn and covered in bloodstains, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle.

In Lu Bai's eyes, she had always been a seductive and unattainable figure, so he had never seen her like this before.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Bai was about to speak, but You Lianrou beat him to it.

She quickly approached Lu Bai, looking him up and down, relieved to see that he was unharmed.

Lu Bai was speechless!

Shouldn't I be asking you that? Which one of us looks like we've been through something?

"What happened to you?" he asked, furrowing his brow.

You Lianrou glanced at the cave, gesturing for them to go inside and talk.

Once inside, Lu Bai immediately put away the "Mandarin Fish" that he had left there, then awkwardly glanced at You Lianrou.

You Lianrou remembered that Lu Bai had appeared from a different location earlier, and instantly understood what had happened. She said, "You did the right thing. The cultivation world is full of tricks and deceptions, and one must always be on guard."

Lu Bai felt even more embarrassed!

But he didn't dwell on this topic and urged You Lianrou to tell him about her situation.

You Lianrou gathered her thoughts and began, "The sect sent me to Songhe Country to handle some matters. Do you know what it is?"

Although Songhe Country spanned both Xuanzhou and Yuzhou, it was under the jurisdiction of the Jade Incense Sect.

Lu Bai shook his head.

"There are Evil Cultivators causing trouble, refining blood pills!" You Lianrou's expression turned serious.

"Blood pills?"

Lu Bai furrowed his brow, wondering if it was the same thing that Grandma Mashan had mentioned.

You Lianrou continued, "After arriving at the location, I investigated and found that their most common method is to change identities, feign illness, and then offer rewards for treatment to attract Independent Cultivators. They also issue tasks to smaller sects to lure and kill low-level cultivators!"

Lu Bai's mouth twitched as he listened!

You Lianrou glanced at him and said, "At that time, you were the first person I thought of!"

"Although Clear Heaven Sect is a holy sect and Evil Cultivators shouldn't dare to provoke us, nothing is absolute! I couldn't rest assured, so I decided to go to the Songhe Country palace to take a look."

"However," You Lianrou bit her lip.

"What happened?"

"On the way, I was ambushed by enemies and fought for two days and nights before successfully breaking free!"

Lu Bai's heart skipped a beat!

Although he knew she had already escaped danger, hearing these words still made him feel nervous.

Two days and nights, one can imagine how intense the battle must have been!

"After breaking free, I didn't have time to rest and continued rushing towards the Songhe Country palace. I was afraid of being too late, so I..." You Lianrou looked at Lu Bai, her eyes filled with worry.

Lu Bai pursed his lips.

He could clearly feel You Lianrou's concern for him, which made him feel a bit strange.

"I arrived at the capital and used the Mandarin Fish to locate you, but I found nothing. I had to ask the emperor to learn about your situation." You Lianrou smiled slightly. "I didn't expect you to defeat the fox demon even when you were outnumbered!"

"Oh! Your cultivation level?"

At this moment, You Lianrou suddenly noticed Lu Bai's realm. He had already reached the third level of Qi Refining.

"Oh! I had some insights during the battle and luckily made a breakthrough."

You Lianrou couldn't calm down for a moment!

From the first time she saw Lu Bai until now, it had only been a short period of time, and he had already jumped three levels.

Could it be that he was an awakened monster?

You Lianrou looked left and right, but couldn't figure out anything.

"What happened next? How did you find your way here?" Lu Bai asked.

"I guessed that if you couldn't contact me, you would definitely come back alone, so I followed the way back," You Lianrou replied.

"You haven't treated your injuries yet, have you?" Lu Bai looked into her eyes and asked.

You Lianrou smiled faintly, "My injuries are not serious."

"Don't do this again in the future!" Lu Bai's face turned serious, and his tone raised several decibels, almost reaching a shouting level.

You Lianrou was stunned by his reaction.

But soon, she turned the corner, realizing that Lu Bai was actually worried about her.

The enchanting woman bit her lip and lowered her head, feeling a sweet sensation in her heart.

But immediately, a sense of guilt arose within her.

She asked herself, was she really concerned about Lu Bai's life and death?

You Lianrou didn't want to deceive herself. What she cared more about was the Profound Heaven Enchanting Bone.

If Lu Bai died, her Profound Heaven Enchanting Bone might never awaken again.

However, as they spent more time together, her impression of Lu Bai also improved, and this was an undeniable fact.

[Ding! Detected that You Lianrou's affection for the host has increased by 188 points, getting closer to lighting up the second red heart!]

Lu Bai was pondering whether his tone just now was too harsh. Would the enchanting woman be angry? At this moment, he heard the notification sound.

He was confused!

She liked him even more when he acted cold?

Then, Lu Bai's divine sense turned, and he understood the reason. The enchanting woman must have felt his concern, which led to her developing a favorable impression of him.

Realizing this, Lu Bai felt somewhat embarrassed.

Did he really care about her?

Or was it just because she was the object bound by the system's affection thread, and if something happened to her, he didn't know what consequences it would bring, so he was worried about her?

Lu Bai didn't want to lie. At this stage, the latter proportion was greater.

But after several encounters, he did develop a slight affection for the enchanting woman.

Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and the cave fell into silence.

For a long time!

Lu Bai reminded, "Don't delay any longer, hurry up and heal!"

"Mm!" You Lianrou lightly responded, then asked, "Do you have any medicine? I used up all mine during the battle."

"Here!" Lu Bai took out all the pills from his storage bag.

But after You Lianrou finished looking at them, she frowned.

"What's wrong? Can't you use them?"

"I can, but these pills are only effective for Qi Refining stage cultivators. They won't have much effect on me."

"Better than nothing," Lu Bai said.

"Okay!"

You Lianrou took the medicine and quietly adjusted her breath.

Half an hour later, she opened her eyes, wanting to say something, but her cherry lips opened and closed several times, as if finding it difficult to speak.

"Go ahead, don't worry!" Lu Bai encouraged with a smile.

You Lianrou gritted her teeth, blushing, and said, "Can you cultivate with me?"
