Chapter 40 Actually, I'm quite happy now.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiao quickly pulled Long Yingxue back.
"Don't listen to her. My sister has some mental issues. Prepare a superior room for me."
The waiter chuckled twice: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Cheng Xiao still doesn't understand why Long Yingxue has wanted to be his mother ever since that night.
Indeed, emotions are the biggest variable.
Fortunately, he cultivates the path of ruthlessness, so these emotions will not affect his cultivation.
After having a quick bite to eat, the two returned to their room.
Long Yingxue jumped directly onto the soft bed and rolled around on it.
Although it's still far from being as comfortable as the bed she had in the Dragon Palace, it's much more comfortable than a wooden plank bed, which she slept on for a full six months.
Long Yingxue patted the bed and said, "Come on, let's sleep together."
Cheng Xiao shook his head.
He found a suitable spot to sit cross-legged, ready to begin his cultivation. After all, his physical body was still too weak, and he had very little time, so he couldn't afford to waste a single second.
But in Long Yingxue's eyes, this had a different meaning.
She jumped off the bed, squatted down next to Cheng Xiao, and rolled up her long, silvery-white hair to tickle him.
"What's wrong? Are you shy?"
Cheng Xiao didn't say anything.
"Come to sleep, you've been working so hard, you should rest."
Cheng Xiao remained silent.
"There's plenty of time ahead; there's no need to rush cultivation."
Cheng Xiao remained silent.
Seeing that Cheng Xiao was completely ignoring her, Long Yingxue finally gave up.
This child is good at everything, except that he is too hardworking and too cruel to himself.
But whenever Long Yingxue thought about what he was carrying, she felt that it was only right.
She, on the other hand, is a bit carefree; she forgets the pain as soon as the wound heals.
But she felt that these days were even happier than when she was in the Dragon Palace.
Happiness is happiness; she doesn't deny her emotions because of hatred.
Long Yingxue stretched out her snow-white little hand and patted Cheng Xiao's head.
A soft voice: "Goodnight."
......
The Cheng family's pursuers arrived quickly, and Cheng Xiao and Long Yingxue were greeted by a group of pursuers as soon as they got up in the morning.
He felt that the original owner's cheap father had seriously underestimated his strength.
What's the point of sending these people here?
He didn't even need to lift a finger; Long Yingxue alone killed them all.
Unfortunately, the shop was also smashed beyond recognition and was on the verge of collapse.
Cheng Xiao tied the bodies of the pursuers together and threw them at the shopkeeper, telling them to go to the Cheng family to ask for money.
After saying that, he left with Long Yingxue.
The shop owner wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare.
After all, he had just seen that little girl, who was about ten years old, kill her in just a few moves, leaving her completely defeated.
How many heads does he have to dare ask for money?
After leaving the inn, Cheng Xiao decided to make Thunder Cliff his first stop.
He had been gathering intelligence for the past six months and learned about this place.
Legend has it that Thunderclap Cliff is struck by lightning all year round, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.
But this heavenly lightning could just help Long Yingxue temper her body.
The two traveled at high speed and arrived at Thunderclap Cliff in less than half a day.
Cultivators throughout the Cangling Continent know that this is a good place, where one can not only train spirit beasts, but also train oneself.
But no one dared to come; anyone who did would die.
As its name suggests, Thunderclap Cliff is perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, with purple lightning bolts churning and intertwining within the black clouds, accompanied by a deafening roar that never ceases.
Ordinary cultivators, let alone getting close, would feel their blood surging and their hearts filled with fear just standing at the bottom of this cliff due to the terrifying pressure of heaven and earth.
Legend has it that a powerful being ascended to the upper realm from here, but failed in the end. Not only was he blasted to ashes by heavenly lightning, but he also left behind thunderclouds that never cease.
Although he didn't know if the legend was true or false, Cheng Xiao wondered what kind of spectacle it would be on the day he ascended to heaven.
Cheng Xiao looked up at the thunderstorm.
The thunderstorms seemed to be splitting the sky in two.
He was about to take Long Yingxue up the mountain, but as soon as he took a step, he couldn't pull the little girl behind him.
Turning her head, she saw that Long Yingxue's face was full of resistance.
"When I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, the lightning tribulation wasn't this terrifying. We would have been struck dead!" She kept shaking her head.
Before the dragon tendons were extracted, Long Yingxue had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
That was the most terrifying lightning tribulation she had ever seen in her life; she was on the verge of death.
The thunderclouds on the mountain now seem even more terrifying.
She had heard of this place; it was said that a powerful being had failed to ascend to heaven here, leaving behind such a wondrous sight.
She didn't believe it before, but now she does.
"Revert to your original form." Cheng Xiao's tone left no room for negotiation.
Long Yingxue was used to being disciplined during regular training.
Although she was filled with fear, she did not hesitate at all after hearing Cheng Xiao's words. In a flash, she transformed into a long, slender, silver-white dragon.
Even after transforming into a dragon, she still appeared extremely small in the face of heavenly lightning.
The two hiked up the mountain, and the higher they went, the more terrifying the thunderclouds became.
During their ascent up the mountain, the two were struck by lightning several times.
Having finally reached the mountaintop, Cheng Xiao took out a black iron chain from his soul space.
To prevent Long Yingxue from escaping, he quickly tied her up securely.
He then casually tossed her onto a boulder on the mountaintop.
The moment Long Yingxue appeared, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to have been provoked and began to churn violently.
Then, a bolt of lightning struck her with perfect accuracy.
"hold head high!"
Long Yingxue let out an extremely tragic dragon roar.
The scales on her body were instantly scorched black and her skin was torn open; the blood was evaporated by the high temperature before it could even flow out.
Hakimi, who was in Cheng Xiao's sea of consciousness, gasped when he saw this, fearing that the lightning tribulation would strike the female lead to death.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up. After all, so much time had passed, and he knew that it would be useless for him to say anything.
Cheng Xiao just enjoys torturing the female lead like this.
Ironically, the female protagonist has a particular fondness for being abused.
Despite suffering physical pain, her affection level still increased!
McDonald's, the pure McDonald's!
After doing all that, Cheng Xiao did not retreat to a safe distance, leaving Long Yingxue to suffer alone.
He sat beneath the rock, his hands gripping the cold, black iron chain hanging down.
The heavenly lightning was incredibly violent; if his mortal body were to be struck directly by it, he would instantly be reduced to ashes.
But dragons are different; the bodies of true dragons can completely withstand the power of heavenly lightning.
The violent lightning struck Long Yingxue, but her powerful dragon bloodline and extreme survival instincts forcefully absorbed and filtered it, removing the most deadly destructive aura.
The remaining pure lightning power was being continuously channeled into Cheng Xiao's body along the conductive black iron chains.
Even with the filtered thunderclouds, this physical body still found it extremely difficult to absorb them.
Cheng Xiao's entire body was instantly enveloped in electric light.
He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and used the lightning power filtered by the Dragon Girl to frantically temper his physical body while simultaneously refining the "ice bone" at his spine.
If he didn't have a Supreme Spirit Bone, he would make one himself.
Cheng Xiao continuously absorbed the power of thunder, a process that was originally extremely smooth. However, amidst the rolling thunderclouds, his soul seemed to sense a familiar aura.
This sense of familiarity grew stronger.
Until finally, Chu Ning's image appeared in his mind.
An idea that even Cheng Xiao found unbelievable emerged.
Chu Ning has definitely been here!
Or rather, she was the cultivator who once underwent tribulation here!
