She could only see their feet from under the furnace. They were still sitting very close, but A-Nuo had been driven to the other end to squat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elixir had just been eaten, and A-Nuo threw it over the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Sheng Yuanyao had already been very restrained not to throw A-Nuo directly out of the volcanic crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most painful thing in the world is social death, and it's also social death if one person sees it. The melon-eater eventually becomes the melon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Lu Xingzhou's high emotional intelligence at the end, which offset her embarrassment to the greatest extent, she would have wanted to kick Lu Xingzhou out of the volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Lu Xingzhou's one sentence turned the situation into him being lustful and asking for a reward, and Sheng Yuanyao turned around and kissed him, and the embarrassment disappeared. Now, as long as A-Nuo is sharked, the world will be clean...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, A-Nuo cannot be sharked, so she can only pretend not to see it and use the elixir furnace to block people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the dog-man and dog-woman had already turned behind the mountain rocks to change their clothes, and they came out again to sit side by side in front of the elixir furnace, looking like humans and acting very serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there was no elixir to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the medicinal herbs collected outside had been thrown to A-Nuo for alchemy, and the rest were not enough to support Lu Xingzhou's own alchemy. If he wanted to refine his trial homework, he had to find other medicine. However, Lu Xingzhou's injuries were not healed yet, and he didn't want to move for the time being, so he sat and healed his injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no accidents, there should be some kind of fire seed in the belly of this volcano, and it should belong to the violent high-temperature fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collecting fire seeds itself was a battle. The one in the desert on the first floor was picked up while the Turtle Turtle and the fire seed were in conflict, and this one was estimated to be quite difficult. A-Nuo was afraid of fire, and Sheng Yuanyao didn't understand fire, so the main force was still Lu Xingzhou himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao felt that she was quite a drag this time, and asked somewhat embarrassedly: \"How... how are your injuries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Demon punched him in the back, and the injury was quite heavy. He took the elixir but didn't rest well, and he was still messing around...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, it's okay. I have a method of Yin-Yang grinding, which can largely eliminate the power invading the body. The injury is not as heavy as imagined. However, it still needs recuperation and recovery, and it is not suitable to continue fighting for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... shall A-Nuo and I go out and clean up that Iron Demon first? I'm afraid it will revive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about this. This is your Demon Suppression Division's Demon Suppression Domain. Even if the Iron Demon is in its prime, it will be weakened day by day, let alone in its half-dead state now? It can only be worn down by this place and become weaker and weaker. Even if we don't kill it, it will die by itself, including the succubus... Hey, you are from the Demon Suppression Division and I am from the Demon Suppression Division, do I have to tell you this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao was annoyed and ashamed: \"Then why didn't we clean it up just now and then come in? Why hide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any idea what state we were in just now? What if another monster suddenly popped up, or some stray energy attack, or inner demon interference, etc.?\" Lu Xingzhou sighed: \"Little Melon, we are not here to fight for our lives and eliminate demons, we are here for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Who is Little Melon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough.\" Lu Xingzhou didn't pick up the topic: \"If you are really worried, go out and kill it now. I dare say that if you go out and kill it now, it's like killing a chicken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo jumped up directly: \"I'll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou didn't say anything, tacitly letting A-Nuo go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao hugged her knees and turned her head to watch A-Nuo leave all the way. Suddenly her shoulders slumped, she let out a long breath, and muttered with her head down: \"How can I see A-Nuo in the future...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact...\" Lu Xingzhou deliberated: \"A-Nuo didn't see it just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What didn't see?\" Sheng Yuanyao stiffened her neck: \"What did we do that she needed not to see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou nodded seriously: \"Yes, yes, didn't do anything... It was me who was invaded by the succubus and delayed healing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of his injuries, Sheng Yuanyao still had the scene of him blocking in front of her without hesitation in her heart. It was soft and warm. The appearance of stiffening her neck disappeared at once, and she whispered: \"Do you need me to do anything? How about pushing the palace and activating the blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou turned to look at her side face, and his eyes subconsciously fell on her cherry lips again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words in the confusion were still vivid... need a kiss to get better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Sheng Yuanyao also thought of this, and said angrily: \"Really a lecher, I don't know how many you have cheated. If I had known, I would have arrested you when I was in Xiazhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't cheat you.\" Lu Xingzhou complained: \"If you know the dual cultivation method, it is really possible to speed up the healing efficiency by passing qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao hesitated for a moment: \"That, can I learn it quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, do you want to help me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you have so many words? Isn't it normal for a friend to help you heal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou glanced at her and handed her a formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a pity that there is no routine of passing power directly to the eyebrows now, otherwise it would be much simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper three grades should be fine, the realm of Tengyun... At that time, Yuan Muyu pointed to the eyebrows with her slender fingers and taught it directly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao's face was flushed when she looked at the formula, and her eyes were drifting. How could she have the heart to learn and practice... The scene of social death just now flashed through her mind again. At this moment, Sheng Yuanyao's brain was completely like a melon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face suddenly became hot, but it was Lu Xingzhou who couldn't help but sneak a kiss because she looked like a cute apple with a red face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao reached out to wipe her face and glared: \"It's not over, is it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou leaned his face over: \"Then I'll return it to you.\" Sheng Yuanyao directly used her hand to pull, and when it fell on his face, it was completely powerless, becoming a caress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she laughed out loud, really leaned over and kissed him, and then quickly withdrew: \"That's enough, we... we can't be like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't we?\" Lu Xingzhou asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao looked away and hugged her knees to watch the furnace fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it's because you have Shen Tang, and I don't want to be a concubine... and I can't compete with the princess for a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words came to her lips but only said: \"It was just being hit by the succubus technique just now, it's all understandable... Why do you have to keep that kind of thing in your heart? You can block a punch for me, so what's wrong with taking advantage of you a little bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then take advantage of me a little more?\" Lu Xingzhou leaned in another three points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao couldn't laugh or cry: \"You weren't so lustful before. Is it really because of just now that you released your inner demon and stopped acting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it's because I like Melon Sister more and more... When Shen Tang first said that she agreed to Lu Xingzhou chasing Sheng Yuanyao, Lu Xingzhou didn't take it seriously and didn't respond to Shen Tang. At that time, it was really just friends, and there was no lust for Sheng Yuanyao. What's the point of soaking people to pull up the Sheng family's relationship? You can use this relationship as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now I like it more and more... Then the power of Shen Tang's agreement at the beginning became great. The relationship with Pei Chuyun will cause the Hedong lion to roar at home, but Sheng Yuanyao won't, so there is no psychological obstacle, as long as she is willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it's not convenient to say this, how to say it? The one at my home agreed to let you be a concubine, so I have no scruples? A sentence popped out and the relationship could collapse, it's better to be a female brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao is a serious official, and the education she received since childhood is different from the Hehuan little demon girl, she needs face... Not to mention that Sheng Qingfeng also needs a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only wants to recognize brothers now, so she can only follow this step for the time being, give everyone a reason to deceive themselves, and don't make it so that they can't even be friends. Things in the future will come slowly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she followed her tone and said: \"Yes, there was a little residue just now, don't you have a little bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao's eyes were drifting. Of course, there was a little residue. The elixir refined by A-Nuo was not an elixir, which could make the mind break free from that state, but that kind of restless lust and love still needed to be suppressed by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we both have it, isn't it good for brothers to help each other solve it...\" Lu Xingzhou hugged her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao struggled without strength to show that she had resisted, but in fact, she had no resistance to Lu Xingzhou's attack. One step after another was handed over, and she walked very comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Xingzhou kiss over again, she said somewhat \"reluctantly\": \"Then I will reluctantly help you again, seeing that you are pitiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two kissed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help brothers understand the different structures of men and women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, what is there to understand, didn't you just pinch it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mind was confused at that time, and the perception was not careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao was too lazy to expose him that he had already understood it very clearly on Shen Tang and Pei Chuyun, and now at most he was understanding the feeling of different shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it... anyway, I haven't touched it just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo stood not far away holding an iron block, not knowing whether she should go over. Will she be beaten if she goes over...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, the appearance of Sister Yao's battle-damaged official uniform looks alluring, but in fact, the appearance of the complete official uniform being pinched is also taboo and exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog-man and dog-woman didn't know how long they had been \"understanding\" before they suddenly realized that A-Nuo had been squatting on the side for a long time. Lu Xingzhou separated as if nothing had happened and coughed: \"Is the Iron Demon solved?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Solved.\" A-Nuo let out a breath, my solution is easy, it's important that you solved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at Sister Yao now, she doesn't blush when she sees A-Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked forward holding the iron block: \"The core left after the Iron Demon was hammered by me should be a good thing for artifact refining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou took it and looked at it. It looked like an iron block, but it actually had liquid flowing, and the scorching heat came to his face. The spirituality was faint, and it looked very high-end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not just an artifact refining object. This thing has life spirituality and strong energy, and it can help forge Wu Xiu's sword bones.\" Lu Xingzhou handed it directly to Sheng Yuanyao: \"You can try to introduce its gold and fire qi into your body. When you are between Grade 5 and Grade 4, you can rapidly increase your cultivation, and when you are at the Grade 3 pass, it can assist in bone forging and breakthrough. You have a Grade 3 precious saber yourself, so using this for artifact refining is a waste. It is most suitable for assisting cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao blinked her eyes and suddenly remembered her father's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—I don't believe Dugu Qingli and Pei Chuyun haven't eaten heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Lu Xingzhou has luck, and maybe there will be gains if you are with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't this coming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal of a Grade 3 monster is no different from a Grade 3 demon core, which is something that everyone pursues among the upper three grades of monks, and this is in hand. The key is that she didn't play much of a role in this battle, and she also caused Lu Xingzhou to be injured... It's almost like picking it up for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm... exchanged for kisses and pinches?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yuanyao was embarrassed: \"You and A-Nuo are both Wu Xiu, and you can also use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou waved his hand: \"Neither A-Nuo nor I practice metal. A-Nuo's pancake even needs to exclude metal elements to better exert the meta-magnetic effect. Allocate according to needs, this is yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said that, he stood up: \"Come, there must be many fire-attribute treasures and fire seeds in the belly of this volcano, let's look for them separately. We fought so hard, now is the time to harvest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo wanted to say something but stopped, really wanting to say that isn't your harvest Sister Yao... Who is tossing around with a woman for nearly an hour after the battle before thinking of looking for treasures? Other people who have worked hard to find treasures and trials will cry.\u003C\u002Fp>",2394,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7a008250d9b2a1ed463e543d5da22dd4adbb4ac390d550b473d9462bcfc75b1f","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-158","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-156",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
