"Uh... that..."
Princess Luo's gaze flickered, turning her head away, unsure of how to respond to Luo Xiu.
Seeing her deanor, Luo Xiu assud she was still cautious of him, so he didn't press further.
Unexpectedly, Princess Luo said, "Yes, I am from Earth. Are you too?"
She knew she couldn't evade, otherwise Luo Xiu would beco suspicious, so she chose to lie.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's eyes lit up, and he seized Princess Luo's shoulders.
"Of course I am! Who would've thought we're from the sa place, hahahaha... it's like eting an old friend, tears in the eyes!"
Princess Luo looked at Luo Xiu oddly, at a loss for what to say.
Luo Xiu suddenly asked, "Fairy Luo, when did you ascend to the Upper Realm?"
"It's been over ten years."
Princess Luo pretended to be calm.
Luo Xiu laughed, "Then we didn't ascend at the sa ti; I ca to the Upper Realm only a few years ago."
Princess Luo just smiled without saying anything, wishing to end this topic quickly.
Luo Xiu asked again, "By the way, where are you from on Earth?"
Upon hearing this, veins popped on Princess Luo's forehead. She wished she could punch Luo Xiu into a cookie!
She sighed softly, recalling the conversations between Xu Qianqing and the others, and said, "Well... I'm from Africa."
"Oh, Africa."
Luo Xiu nodded, exclaiming, "I never expected there to be such fair-skinned girls in Africa!"
Princess Luo just smiled without saying anything.
She didn't know where Africa was, only that Xu Qianqing and the others had ntioned it before, so she answered casually.
Luo Xiu suddenly said, "Which part of Africa exactly are you from? I actually visited Africa before, maybe I've been to your hotown."
Upon hearing this, Princess Luo took a deep breath, suddenly feeling frantic.
But to avoid revealing anything, she had to remain calm, smiling, "I'm from Sanya, there's an ocean there, lots of tourists year-round. I lived there with my grandmother when I was young."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu scratched his head, puzzled.
There is a place called Sanya in Africa? And with an ocean?
But Luo Xiu didn't know much about Earth since he mostly stayed on Ghost Valley Mountain, having little ti to explore.
The world is vast, and he hadn't had a chance to see it well.
Not wanting to seem ignorant in front of Princess Luo, he laughed, "Haha, didn't expect you're from Sanya in Africa, what a coincidence. I traveled there once."
"Hehe... really."
Princess Luo's lips twitched with dry laughter, sowhat relieved.
Thanks to hearing Xu Qianqing and Su Shanyue chat often, or else she wouldn't have been able to maintain her lie today.
Luo Xiu didn't dwell on the subject, fearing his own ignorance might be exposed, so he decisively changed the topic.
"By the way, the inner core still contains much demonic power, it'll take so days to fully absorb."
Princess Luo nodded, "Yes, that's tens of thousands of years of demonic power."
Luo Xiu laughed, "You continue to absorb, I'll protect you."
Princess Luo's face suddenly blushed, thinking of sothing.
"Um... the demonic power in the Corpse Demon King's Inner Pill is of extrely dark nature, and I haven't mastered the 'Oblivion Heaven Technique' fully, so I might be repulsed, like before."
Luo Xiu patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'm here after all."
"Once you face backlash, I'll rush in and give you a shot."
At these words, Princess Luo's face turned red, stomping her feet in sha and angrily hamring Luo Xiu with her small fists.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Honestly, at your age, can't you be serious!"
Luo Xiu shalessly said, "I'm only in my twenties, how is that old? But you, you're old grass eating young cows!"
"You... if you keep talking nonsense, I'll strangle you!"
Princess Luo furiously attempted to grab him.
Luo Xiu laughed heartily and ran away, "Alright, alright, go on now, don't waste ti."
"..."
...
For the next ten days, Princess Luo continued to absorb the demonic power in the Corpse Demon King's Inner Pill.
Just as Luo Xiu said, each ti she faced backlash, Luo Xiu would selflessly offer his aid imdiately.
Initially, Princess Luo was unaccustod, but gradually she got used to it.
A newly paved path, walked enough tis, eventually becos smooth.
Today.
Luo Xiu, having finished hunting nearby, was about to prepare a delicious roasted at for Princess Luo, when suddenly, phenona appeared in the sky!
He was startled, hastily carrying his catch to find Princess Luo.
The huge inner core had beco transparent, like a giant crystal ball, indicating all demonic power had been absorbed.
Luo Xiu looked at Princess Luo sitting cross-legged on the inner core, smiling, "You absorbed tens of thousands of years' demonic power fairly quickly within these days."
Princess Luo smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I have now mastered the Oblivion Heaven Technique."
Luo Xiu sincerely congratulated, "Congratulations."
"But next, I might undergo ascension and breakthrough."
Luo Xiu seriously said, "Proceed with the breakthrough, I'll protect you."
"Alright."
"..."
Three days passed until the Cataclysmic Thunder above the Unlit Land dispersed.
Though the ascension process was painful and risky, with Luo Xiu's help, Princess Luo smoothly entered the White Emperor Realm!
...
Sky Divine City.
Teleportation Plaza.
Princess Luo hugged Luo Xiu and wouldn't let go.
Just now, upon returning to Sky Divine City, they headed to a hotel and booked a room.
After so commotion, the sky was nearly dark.
"Taoist Ao, when will you co to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven next?"
Luo Xiu gently brushed her hair beside her ear, "I don't know specifically, but I'll co when I can."
"Alright."
"Alright, go now."
Luo Xiu gently pushed her away, watching her cast a spell and leave the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven.
...
Yan Huang Star.
Luo Xian slowly opened her eyes, a blissful blush on her face, softly murmured, "You silly boy."
...
Wangjian Town.
Luo Xiu appeared in the guest room out of nowhere, spotting the little Immortal girl lying on the bed playing with toys.
"Little Mule, co play with !"
Luo Xiu rubbed her head and got out of bed.
"I'll play with you tomorrow, I have so errands now."
By now it was nightti.
Wangjian Town, covered by night, appeared very peaceful.
After dispatching the little Immortal girl, Luo Xiu jumped out the window, flying toward the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
...
Central Brightness Palace.
Luo Xiu encountered Zhu Yu on the rooftop again, and quietly knocked him out.
"Qing Kuang, there's sothing I'd like to discuss with you."
He carried the unconscious Zhu Yu, swaggering into Wei Qingkuang's chamber.
