PFC Chapter 163 Northern Continent
Chapter 163 Northern Continent
Yun Fuzhao caught up with Yu Ze in no time; by then, they had traveled halfway.
They will be able to reach Tianshan in two days.
"how?"
Yun Fuzhao clenched his fist, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body. "I can break through by meditating for a while."
Yu Ze nodded, "Then I will protect you."
Yun Fuzhao sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The spiritual energy within the body flows along the meridians, surging forward like a mountain spring.
Yu Ze stared at her. Breakthroughs were a long and tedious process, as were those of Dharma Protectors. During his seclusion in the Demon Realm, Yu Ze also engaged in the same monotonous and tedious cultivation day after day.
Cultivation is inherently a tedious process, which can be quite tedious, but if she were by my side...
Yu Ze's gaze was like a paintbrush, slowly outlining her features.
—It's not that unbearable.
An hour later, Yun Fuzhao opened his eyes and suddenly met those dark eyes.
Before she could react, their eyes met directly.
Once the spiritual energy had stabilized, Yun Fuzhao spoke, "Alright."
She has reached the initial stage of fusion.
Is this kind of cultivation speed really something that humans can achieve?
Yun Fuzhao smiled smugly; having a cheat code was so satisfying. If she had this cheat code in modern society, there was nothing she couldn't overcome.
[Yun Family Team 4, You Ziqian: Now you can practice the fifth form of the Illusionary Shadow Technique.]
[Hahaha, You Ziqian, you're a career fanatic, all you think about is building your career.]
You know what, that's a really apt description.
Yun Fuzhao laughed out loud.
Yu Ze: "What are you laughing at?"
Yun Fuzhao shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just happy that my cultivation level has improved. Don't you feel it's getting colder?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ze raised his finger, and demonic energy firmly blocked the doors and windows.
The closer you get to the Tianshan Mountains, the lower the temperature becomes, especially at night. Yu Ze has to wrap himself in several layers of demonic energy to block out the biting cold.
“I’m so cold,” Yun Fuzhao said, looking at Yu Ze. “You must be frozen solid.”
Just as Yu Ze was about to speak, another thought flashed through his mind. He stretched out his hand in front of Yun Fuzhao and said, "It's cold."
His fingers were slender and long, with distinct knuckles, as beautiful as works of art in a shop window.
Yun Fuzhao was slightly taken aback when she saw that his fingertips were red from the cold. Demons really are afraid of the cold. Even Yu Ze, with his high level of cultivation, can't resist the cold?
She rummaged through her storage bag and finally found a small silicone ball. She activated her fire elemental root and stuffed the flame into the ball, and a simple hand warmer was ready.
Yun Fuzhao placed the small ball into Yu Ze's palm, "Use this to warm up."
Yu Ze clenched his fingers, the intense heat spreading through his palms. He lowered his head and fiddled with his hand for a moment, then spoke again: "Yun Fuzhao, come closer to me... I'm afraid of the cold."
Seeing that his eyebrows were covered in frost, Yun Fuzhao was startled. Without saying a word, she sat down next to him and covered him with the whole blanket.
"You're already this frozen before we even reach the Tianshan Mountains. You'll be an ice sculpture when we get there."
Yun Fuzhao covered herself completely with the blanket, not letting a single breeze in.
Yu Ze looked down at her movements, and as she pressed down on the other side of the blanket, he grabbed her wrist and said, "You sit down too."
After saying that, he threw off the heavy quilt and pulled Yun Fuzhao in.
"I'm not that cold."
"I am cold."
Neither of them were dressed, and Yun Fuzhao didn't care. "I told you not to come."
If he falls ill again, it will be a loss.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Fuzhao looked up and saw that Yu Ze was still looking at him, with some emotions churning in his dark eyes.
The scene was complex and obscure, making Yun Fuzhao uneasy.
She considered it carefully and said, "It's fine if you come. I'll have someone to keep me company."
Yu Ze avoided her gaze, turning his head away as if he didn't want to talk to her.
Yun Fuzhao was somewhat puzzled; this person was more unpredictable than the weather. It couldn't be that what he just said had upset him.
She wasn't wrong. Demons' combat power would decrease in extremely cold environments. If something happened in Tianshan, Yun Fuzhao would have to spare some energy to protect him.
Oh well, men's hearts are unfathomable, she couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.
She was exhausted after fighting so many spirit beasts. Now that it was late at night and drowsiness overcame her, Yun Fuzhao closed her eyes and fell asleep without a care in the world.
She fell asleep, but Yu Ze felt unwell.
His breath carried her fragrance, and he felt her warmth on his arm. His beloved was so close, every moment a test for him.
Only when he noticed that the breathing of the person next to him was gradually becoming steady did Yu Ze slowly turn around.
Yun Fuzhao leaned against the wooden board, her long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath her eyes.
Yu Ze stared quietly for a moment, then his fingers, hidden under the covers, twitched, causing the flying boat to sway even without wind.
Yun Fuzhao tilted her head and leaned it on Yu Ze's shoulder.
She was exhausted; she only frowned slightly before falling back asleep.
Unable to suppress the smile on his lips, Yu Ze stared intently at her for a long, long time before finally unable to resist placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
……
The next morning, Yun Fuzhao learned the fifth move of the Illusion Technique: Control.
After studying it carefully, she discovered that it was the ability of the metal spiritual root.
As the name suggests, a person with a metal spiritual root can manipulate all metal objects, including longswords and cauldrons. However, there is a distance limitation; with her current cultivation level, she can only control metal objects within a meter.
Yun Fuzhao felt a little regretful that silver wasn't the common currency in the cultivation world, otherwise everyone within a few miles of her would have empty pockets.
Soon, the two arrived in the north.
The cultivation world is divided into two parts: the southern continent and the northern continent. The two continents govern themselves independently and do not interfere with each other.
The so-called sect rankings do not include the North. After all, the two continents dislike each other; the South thinks the North is crude and rude, while the North thinks the South is pretentious and affected. Neither looks down on the other.
Yun Fuzhao had done her homework before coming. In order to avoid any trouble, she even disguised herself to make herself look like a cultivator from the Northern Continent.
“It will take at least another day to get to Tianshan from here,” Yun Fuzhao said to Yu Ze. “Let’s find an inn to rest first.”
Yu Ze nodded.
Yun Fuzhao observed him and, after confirming that he was alright, felt relieved.
The cultivators of the Northern Continent are tall and strong, and the weapons they use are different from those of the Southern Continent. The Southern Continent mostly uses swords, while the Northern Continent uses spears.
Moreover, they are extremely belligerent. If they see someone on the street who doesn't like them, they'll pick up a spear and grab the person to fight. The other person will almost never back down and will start fighting without saying a word.
Yun Fuzhao had only been looking for an inn when he saw several pairs of cultivators fighting.
“This is a good location.”
Yun Fuzhao turned around but couldn't see Yu Ze. She looked around and found Yu Ze in a circle.
He was fighting with a long gun.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
The demons were warlike by nature, and the Northern Continent was exactly what they wanted.
