Chapter 4: Why Did He Suddenly Do This?:
“Lin... Ling Kong!?” Jiang Ruoxi exclaimed in shock.
Why was he suddenly here? At this moment, she couldn't stop, or else the demonic energy would backfire, and she would surely die!
“What are you doing here? Get out! Quickly, get out!” Jiang Ruoxi shouted, trying to endure the intense pain in her body.
If he knew what she was doing, if he knew she was a descendant of the Demon Sect, how would he see her then? And in such a state, how could she let him see her?
Ling Kong glanced at Jiang Ruoxi, who was in the bathtub, gritting her teeth to endure. She was indeed cultivating the demonic sect technique her father had left her.
Without hesitation, Ling Kong closed the door.
“Ling Kong! What are you doing? Get out, get out!” Jiang Ruoxi shouted hastily.
He actually came in and closed the door? What was he planning to do?
If she could leave the medicinal bath now, she would certainly drive him away!
“You seem to be cultivating a dual cultivation technique?” Ling Kong said as he stepped closer.
“This has nothing to do with you. Get out! I beg you, get out!” Jiang Ruoxi gritted her teeth.
“A dual cultivation technique is meant to be practiced by two people. Why are you enduring all this pain alone?” Ling Kong said calmly.
She worked so hard, and put in so much effort! Why should she end up defeated by Xia Yuran? Why should she become Xia Yuran's stepping stone? What made Xia Yuran qualified to compete with her?
“This is my business! Ling Kong, leave, leave now!” Jiang Ruoxi gritted her teeth even harder. As the demonic energy entered her body, it became increasingly unbearable. She didn't know what might happen next, and she didn't want to show any weakness in front of Ling Kong.
“If you don't mind, from now on, your business is my business,” Ling Kong said with a slight smile.
Then, he directly took off his shirt and entered the medicinal bath.
“What are you doing?! Ling Kong! You're crazy, you're crazy!” Jiang Ruoxi was completely stunned.
What was he doing? Did he even know what he was doing? Just entering the medicinal bath like that? If he joined her now, they would share the pain! But he would also be invaded by the demonic energy!
“Isn't this a dual cultivation technique?” Ling Kong smiled lightly. “Then I will cultivate with you!”
Indeed, this process was extremely painful. The feeling of the demonic energy piercing every inch of his meridians was unbearable! This was the pain of purging and reshaping his body!
And Jiang Ruoxi, a girl, was enduring all this pain alone!
Since he knew everything, he would help her bear it!
Moreover, after cultivating this technique, his strength would indeed improve significantly, and future cultivation would be much smoother!
With Ling Kong's joining, Jiang Ruoxi's pain instantly reduced by half! But she still couldn't understand why Ling Kong was doing this!
“Get out, Ling Kong, get out! Do you know what you're doing?” Jiang Ruoxi stretched her jade-like hand from the black medicinal bath, trying to push Ling Kong away. But Ling Kong grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
“Shh... be quiet, don't add to your pain!” Ling Kong's voice sounded in Jiang Ruoxi's ear.
Jiang Ruoxi felt her entire body go numb! What was he doing? Why was he doing this?
“From now on, I will bear your pain!” Ling Kong continued.
He would never let the tragedies from the original novel happen to Jiang Ruoxi! She was an outstanding and hardworking girl; why should she endure those hardships and trials? He was determined to change her fate!
Ling Kong's words made Jiang Ruoxi's heart tremble again. What was he saying? Why was he suddenly like this? Why had he suddenly changed so much?
These things, these words, were things she could only imagine in her mind! But now, it had all become real? If it weren't for the excruciating pain from the demonic energy, she would think it was all a dream! It was so unbelievable!
Ling Kong, who had never even spared a glance at her, was now helping her and saying such touching words! Jiang Ruoxi bit her red lips and buried her head in Ling Kong's shoulder. Tears quietly fell from the corners of her eyes.
How much she wished someone would dual cultivate with her, how much she wished someone would share her burden! How much she had wished that person was Ling Kong! But she knew that was impossible, so she had borne everything alone all this time!
But now, it had all become real! Her inner vulnerability surfaced at the moment, and she no longer cared about anything else. She just reached out her hand and tightly hugged Ling Kong.
No matter what was going on! No matter if it was a dream or reality! She just wanted to cherish this moment!
Under the black demonic energy and the black medicinal bath, their skins touched. The demonic energy flowed wildly, invading them both. Their bodies and energy seas were being constantly refined and transformed!
This lasted a long, long time...
When everything ended, the originally dark medicinal bath had become crystal clear! At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi, leaning on Ling Kong's shoulder, had her black hair turned completely white! The intense pain had made her faint halfway through.
However, Ling Kong remained still, his mouth bleeding a bit. The rays of the setting sun shone through the window onto Jiang Ruoxi. Her white skin was crystal clear. She was perfect!
Such a perfect girl, how was she not superior to Xia Yuran? He would have to be out of his mind to choose someone like Xia Yuran!
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Ling Kong picked up Jiang Ruoxi. He carried her out of the bath, and placed her on the bed.
It was evening by the time Jiang Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes. There was a figure sitting by the bed. Ling Kong!
Jiang Ruoxi raised her weak hand and rubbed her forehead. Was she dreaming? How could Ling Kong be sitting by her bed? Could he have been watching her sleep? But then she immediately remembered everything from the bathtub was real!
She quickly sat up and, realizing she was naked, grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
“You...” She looked at Ling Kong with eyes filled with surprise and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Everything was real! Ling Kong had entered the bath to share her pain!
Then... she seemed to have fainted midway? Ling Kong had carried her out and stayed by her side until she woke up?
What had happened to Ling Kong? Why would he do all this for her?
“Did you carry me to the bed?” Jiang Ruoxi steadied herself and asked softly.
