"Master..."
Her voice, usually cold and hoarse, trembled slightly as she looked at Lu Changsheng, her expression suggesting she had witnessed something deeply unsettling.
"Little Yan, a wisp of black mist just materialized; you likely became ensnared by some sort of illusion," Lu Changsheng deduced that Qian Zhuyan must have been trapped in an illusion, possibly seeing a horrifying vision. He offered words of comfort.
"Illusion..."
The mere mention of the word caused Qian Zhuyan's spirit to quiver before she faintly nodded in assent.
Moments later, Yun Wanshang’s eyelids fluttered, and she slowly came to, her entire bearing dazed, much like one emerging from a profound dream. Lingering confusion and fear clouded her beautiful eyes.
Her gaze fell upon Lu Changsheng, and she immediately cried out with relief, "Lu Changsheng, you’re alive..."
"True Man, did you witness my demise within that illusion?"
Lu Changsheng inquired with a raised eyebrow.From the spectral images he had witnessed earlier, Lu Changsheng surmised that this illusion functioned similarly to a heart demon, probing one's deepest fears and vulnerabilities to amplify them to an extreme degree.
"Illusion?"
Upon realizing it was merely an illusory construct, Yun Wanshang let out a breath of relief. She then queried Lu Changsheng about the events that transpired and the reason for her entrapment.
"While you and Little Yan were resting, a dark mist materialized. I glimpsed the Reincarnation Well… I recognized I had been covertly drawn into an illusion, so I employed certain methods to break free…"
Lu Changsheng conveyed this with a somber expression.
The recent ordeal made him acutely aware that the Land of Eternal Night harbored complexities far beyond his initial assumptions.
Previously, despite the formidable nature of the mutated beasts and spectral entities within the Land of Eternal Night, he had managed to contend with them, believing the world’s power ceiling wasn't exceedingly high.
However, the sudden manifestation of such a terrifying entity had truly caught him off guard.
"Are you alright?" Yun Wanshang observed Lu Changsheng’s current debilitated state, noting his pallor and exhaustion, evident signs of extreme fatigue.
"Merely a touch too drained; attempting a safe return might present considerable peril."
Although Lu Changsheng had projected an aura of ease and confidence when interacting with Yun Wanshang earlier.He found himself unable to maintain such composure now, a heavy unease settling upon him.
Yun Wanshang scanned their surroundings with caution, her attention drawn to the luminous pillar ascending from the mountain's core. She recognized they were situated within an exceptionally hazardous forbidden territory.
A single misstep could plunge them into mortal danger.
This was particularly true given Lu Changsheng's current weakened condition, making a safe egress a daunting prospect.
"True Man, do you recall the Soul Path Dreams from before? You mentioned our present predicament mirrored the dangers encountered within the Myriad Mountains."
Observing Yun Wanshang’s face grow increasingly serious, Lu Changsheng, while utilizing the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to purge the malevolent Qi Mechanism from the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s remains, offered a lighthearted remark to alleviate the tension."..."
Yun Wanshang was momentarily stunned, realizing Lu Changsheng alluded to their prior Soul Path Dreams, during which they achieved recovery through her Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body and the practice of dual cultivation, subsequently escaping peril.
In the current crisis, employing dual cultivation to bolster their Golden Core Dao Foundation presented an advantageous solution.
She mused that, as on previous occasions, she could still deceive herself by blocking Lu Changsheng’s senses.
But currently, with Lu Changsheng present, achieving such self-deception seemed genuinely arduous…
Her heart became a battleground of conflicting emotions and burgeoning shyness.
"True Man, should we survive and return, I shall formally propose at the Qingyun Sect. What do you say?"
Lu Changsheng’s gaze met Yun Wanshang’s, and sensing her emotional state, he paused. Seizing the opportune moment to articulate his feelings and advance their relationship, he spoke earnestly.Yun Wanshang remained silent.
Looking at Lu Changsheng’s sallow, weary face and recalling the visions from the illusion, she finally lowered her head slightly and emitted a soft sigh, "Let’s give it a try."
Lu Changsheng initially interpreted Yun Wanshang’s words as an acceptance of his proposal. However, sensing an incongruity, he inquired, "Try… try what?"
"It’s nothing important."
With a facade of serene bashfulness, Yun Wanshang’s eyes suddenly turned cold.After painstakingly reaching a decision, this scoundrel had the audacity to toy with her emotions, truly taking her for granted!
A wave of shame, wounded pride, and burgeoning anger washed over Yun Wanshang.
Lu Changsheng promptly grasped the underlying meaning of Yun Wanshang’s statement. Though momentarily taken aback and surprised, he swiftly responded, "Try, we shall!"
While his Chaos Body's innate regenerative capabilities were remarkable, the efficacy of dual cultivation for recovery had diminished somewhat for him at this juncture.
However, given the other party's willingness to express her affections in this manner, how could he possibly refuse?
Once they embarked on this path, the rest would naturally unfold.
Furthermore, heaven only knew how pitiable Lu Ancestor had been, having refrained from dual cultivation for two and a half years since arriving in the Land of Eternal Night.
"???"
Qian Zhuyan observed the scene before her, a touch of bewilderment clouding her features.
How could it be that as the two conversed, her comprehension was so vague?
Furthermore, the atmosphere had been somber moments ago, yet now it seemed to carry a hint of... flirtation?
She felt utterly perplexed and baffled.
After a considerable interval, once the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had regained its senses, Lu Changsheng retrieved a simple tent from his Storage Ring. He then gestured for Qian Zhuyan and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to stand guard, indicating his need to recuperate.
"Lu Changsheng, this is merely a matter of healing."
Yun Wanshang's exquisitely beautiful face radiated an air of refined elegance and noble bearing as she stated this with an impassive expression.
"Naturally."
Lu Changsheng responded with a solemn nod, striving to maintain a composed demeanor.
"???"
Qian Zhuyan watched as the man and woman entered the tent, sensing an unusual aura between them, her eyes alight with Soul Fire, filled with bewilderment.
Not long after, within the confines of the tent, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror displayed their clothing slowly coming undone, and even the normally expressionless Artifact Spirit A Wu's countenance seemed to betray a flicker of emotion...
