Chapter 77: Wanting to be Killed and Lying, Qin Lu Is Really Not Easy
“You thought I wouldn’t kill you, so you were just messing with me!”
“Qingcheng, who would joke about their own life and death?”
“Then why did you want to die?” Ye Qingcheng asked.
“I cultivate a very strange thing. Every time I have to break through, I have to die. That time at the Demonic Sect branch, my original intention was for you to kill me so I could break through. But you didn’t kill me, so I thought of a way to let you kill me.”
“In the end, I took the blade for you. After that, didn’t you notice that my cultivation level increased very quickly?”
“At the Demonic Sect branch, I was only at the Qi Refining stage. But after I took the blade for you, my strength increased by leaps and bounds.”
“What kind of technique are you cultivating? It’s so magical.” Ye Qingcheng was shocked.
Qin Lu’s cultivation level did improve very quickly.
Last time he saved her, he broke through to the early Golden Core stage. Then he entered the ancient battle and reached the middle stage of the Golden Core realm. After the battle with Xiao Yichen, he reached the late Golde Core stage. Now he was at the early Nascent Soul stage.
In just three months, his cultivation level increased so much. Could it really be because of that technique?
“My technique is called the Undying Technique.”
“Undying Technique?” Ye Qingcheng was surprised. It was the first time she had heard such a strange name.
“Yes, to cultivate this technique, if you want to break through to the next realm, you have to be killed.”
“Ah… You have to be killed to break through to the next realm? This…” Ye Qingcheng felt that it was inconceivable. Who created this technique? It was strange to need to be killed to break through to the next realm!
“Yes, but you can only be killed by the person you like; otherwise, not only will you not be able to break through, you won’t even be able to live.”
“This is also why I asked you to kill me. If you kill me, I can quickly break through to the next realm.”
“No wonder you’ve always wanted to die!” Ye Qingcheng suddenly realized, before, she thought Qin Lu wanted to die just to play with her. She didn’t expect it to be for cultivation.
“But if you’re killed and can’t come back to life, then what?” Ye Qingcheng was a bit afraid. This technique was too strange. It actually required someone to kill you to break through to the next realm.
“Probably not. Qingcheng, next time when I reach a bottleneck, can you help me?”
“You… you want me to kill you with my own hands?” Ye Qingcheng suddenly felt that this was a bit crazy for her to kill Qin Lu, she really couldn’t do it.
“That’s right, so only you can kill me.”
“But if you don’t come back to life, won’t you really die?”
“If you don’t kill me, I’ll die, and I’ll die faster than a normal person.”
“Ah, how could this be! This cultivation method of yours is too strange. Why don’t you give up and cultivate another cultivation method?”
“Qingcheng, it wasn’t easy for me to cultivate the nascent soul realm. Do you think it’s possible for me to give up on cultivating other cultivation techniques? If I switch to another technique, I’ll suffer a backlash from the Undying Art, and I’ll die even faster.”
“Then, when is your next bottleneck?”
“In eight months.”
“Eight months?” Ye Qingcheng muttered to herself.
“Qingcheng, this is my biggest secret. I’ll only tell you, and I won’t fall in love with other women. This cultivation method of mine doesn’t allow me to fall in love with other women.”
“Oh.” Ye Qingcheng nodded. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Qin Lu’s Undying Art was too strange. However, thinking that he couldn’t fall in love with other people and could only like her, Ye Qingcheng’s heart was very happy.
‘Ye Feiyu, it’s impossible for Qin Lu to fall in love with you, so don’t be wishful thinking.’ She thought inwardly.
“Qingcheng, don’t be jealous in the future. If you act like this, I’ll panic. I always feel like I’ve done something wrong!”
“Who’s jealous? Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
“Then you’re not angry?”
“I, I’m not angry. It’s you who thinks I’m angry.” Ye Qingcheng twisted her small mouth, unwilling to admit it.
“Since you’re not angry, then smile more. You look so good when you smile!”
“Aiya, you’re so long-winded. Hurry up and leave!”
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go out now.” Qin Lu was helpless. In the end, he still got up and walked out. When he walked out of the room, a smile suddenly appeared on Qin Lu’s face. He did not expect Ye Qingcheng to be so easy to fool.
In the Red Leaf Valley.
Xiao Yichen stayed in the guest room for a day and couldn’t stay any longer. Yesterday, when he came to Red Leaf Valley, he saw the woman his father had found for him, Ye Feiyu. Ye Feiyu was as beautiful as Ye Qingcheng, but her personality was completely different from Ye Qingcheng.
Thinking of Ye Feiyu’s appearance, talent, and family background, Xiao Yichen felt that he should be matched with an outstanding woman like Ye Feiyu and let Ye Qingcheng become a thing of the past.
In Red Leaf Valley, knowing that he was the young master of the Xiao family, many people were very respectful to him. Of course, he also heard a lot of people whispering. However, what surprised him was that he actually heard the people of Red Leaf Valley mention Qin Lu’s name.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Yichen slowly walked over. “Hello, both of you.”
“Hello, Young Master Xiao.”
“I just heard you talking about someone called Qin Lu. Are you very familiar with him?”
“No, no. It’s just that yesterday, he came here to compete with our Red Leaf Valley’s eldest senior brother, second senior sister, and seventh elder.”
“Competition? Why did he compete?”
“It’s said that he was in a hurry to leave Red Leaf Valley, so he competed three times in a row.”
“How did he come to Red Leaf Valley?” Xiao Yichen was very surprised. How could he meet Qin Lu everywhere? This guy was a bit like a ghost!
“It seems that our little junior sister brought him here.”
“Little junior sister, is it Miss Feiyu?”
“Yes.”
Hearing that it was Ye Feiyu who brought Qin Lu to Red Leaf Valley, Xiao Yichen’s face was ashen. This guy, after robbing Ye Qingcheng, was he going to rob Ye Feiyu from him? Hateful, hateful.
“Oh right, can you take me to find Miss Feiyu? I have some important things to talk to her about.”
“Young Master Xiao, I’m sorry, our little junior sister has already left Red Leaf Valley with our Valley Master’s wife this morning.”
“Left? Do you know where they went and when they will return?” Xiao Yichen was a little surprised. He just came yesterday, but she ended up leaving so early in the morning. Did she dislike him so much?
“It seems that they went to the Holy Maiden Sect. As for when they will return, I’m not sure!”
“To the Holy Maiden Sect? To find Qin Lu?” Xiao Yichen instinctively asked.
“This, I’m not sure either.”
“How long have they been gone?”
“It’s been half an hour.”
“That, where is your Valley Master? Can you take me to see him?”
“Yes, please follow me.”
A moment later, Xiao Yichen was taken to Ye Tiannan’s residence.
“Nephew Xiao, you’re here.”
“Valley Master, I’m really sorry to disturb you so early.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Why are you looking for me so early?”
“This time I’m here because of my father’s order. Today I’m going to see my master, so I can’t stay long.”
“Your master?”
“Who is it in your family?”
“Valley Master, my master comes from a more powerful sect. He doesn’t want others to know his name. I’m sorry.”
“A more powerful sect? More powerful than your Xiao family?”
“Our Xiao family is just a small family in my master’s eyes. He can destroy it with a flick of his finger!”
“Destroy it with a flick of his finger.” Ye Tiannan’s face changed. To destroy the Xiao family with a flick of his finger—what kind of terrifying existence was that?
“Valley Master, it’s getting late. Yichen will take his leave.”
“Alright, then I won’t force nephew Xiao to stay.” Ye Tiannan smiled and then got up to send him off.
But Xiao Yichen said, “Valley Master, you’re busy, so there’s no need to send me off. Oh, right, when I came, I heard the people in the valley mention a person called Qin Lu.”
“Valley Master knows this person?”
“I’ve seen him once.”
“Valley Master, that Qin Lu is a villain. If you want to form a relationship with him, you have to be careful. Goodbye.” Xiao Yichen finished speaking and turned to leave.
