Chapter 301: The Fairy's Anger

Bao'an Hall.

A carriage stopped at the entrance, and two maidservants helped the delicate and frail Lin Daiyu walk out of the shop and board the carriage.

This scene was seen by Luo Zijun, who happened to be across the street.

"Why is Lin Meimei here?"

"To tattle?"

Luo Zijun immediately thought of what Liu Chujian had said: Lin Meimei had already signed a contract with his senior sister and had become his senior sister's person.

He feared that the events of the night before last, when he practiced in Daguanyuan and spent the night with his sister-in-law, had already reached his senior sister's ears by now.

"Forget it, I'd better not go looking for trouble."

Although he and his sister-in-law were innocent and had nothing to hide, explaining would be useless in front of his senior sister; that girl was simply not a reasonable person.

After the carriage left, he turned around and returned to the mansion.

"I should just focus on my cultivation. Once I break through to the Fen Shen Realm and regain my freedom, I will come to share the good news with my senior sister..."

Returning to the Bai Mansion, he went to the backyard and began to practice his punches.

In the evening, after finishing his medicine bath, he practiced the Liehuo Finger in the backyard for an hour.

Now, the power of the Liehuo Finger had reached a new level.

Ten meters away, it arrived in an instant.

Even steel bones could be easily pierced, let alone a body of flesh and blood.

After finishing his practice, just as he was about to return to his room, Ziyuan came over and said, "Young Master, you haven't gone to pay your respects to the eldest young lady for a long time."

Luo Zijun thought about it and realized it had indeed been a long time.

If one were to strictly follow the rules, a matrilocal son-in-law was required to pay his respects to his wife every morning and evening.

However, the Bai Family did not treat him as a matrilocal son-in-law, and Bai Daxiaojie did not have those cumbersome rules, so he only went occasionally, or when the eldest young lady sent someone to call him.

Although they were only separated by one courtyard, they rarely interacted.

Thinking about it carefully, they were perhaps not even as close as friends.

But this was fine; once he successfully broke through to the Fen Shen Realm, he would have no psychological burden when asking Bai Daxiaojie to dissolve the engagement.

"Alright, I'll go pay my respects now."

Luo Zijun arrived in front of the wooden door of the small courtyard and knocked.

Since the engagement between the two would soon be dissolved, he might as well pay his respects to Bai Daxiaojie more often during this time.

The wooden door opened quickly.

Bai Bai poked her head out from inside, and upon seeing him, she was somewhat surprised: "Brother Zijun, is something the matter?"

Since Luo Zijun moved here, he had rarely knocked on this small wooden door on his own initiative.

Luo Zijun said: "Is the eldest young lady asleep? I would like to pay my respects."

Bai Bai looked at him with some surprise and said: "She should not be asleep yet. Brother Zijun, please wait a moment, let me go ask first."

After saying this, she ran off.

A moment later, she ran back and said: "Brother Zijun, the young lady says she is already in bed and does not want to see you."

Luo Zijun was stunned and said: "Why does she not want to see me?"

Bai Bai blinked her large eyes and said: "Because the young lady is already in bed. The young lady is wearing a small bellyband, so how could she see you?"

"Uh..."

In Luo Zijun's mind, the image of Bai Daxiaojie, that celestial-like person, with her black hair draped down and wearing a small bellyband, immediately appeared...

"Then she should have said it was inconvenient to see me; why would she say she didn't want to?"

Luo Zijun raised the question.

Bai Bai tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "Maybe she finds it troublesome. After all, to see Brother Zijun, the young lady would have to put on clothes, socks, shoes, and comb her hair. It's very troublesome."

"Bai Bai, close the door, don't waste your breath on that guy!"

Fenfen suddenly said from behind.

"Oh."

Bai Bai stuck her little tongue out at Luo Zijun and gently closed the door.

"Actually, I also think it's troublesome."

Luo Zijun muttered to himself, stopped thinking about it, returned to his room, and cultivated with peace of mind.

It was actually quite good that she didn't want to see him.

This meant that she disliked him, so there should be no problem when he asked her for the Letter of Divorce later.

At the third watch.

Luo Zijun performed Soul Out-of-Body and arrived at the back garden.

After waiting for a moment, a snow-white figure appeared in the bright moon in the night sky, and in an instant, she drifted down.

"Fairy..."

Luo Zijun took the initiative to greet her.

The Moon Palace fairy, however, was icy and cold; she ignored him and went straight to the entrance.

Luo Zijun hurriedly followed, watching her tall and slender back, and muttered to himself: If you have the ability, be this icy and cold when you are detoxifying, without making a single sound.

"Whoosh!"

A pillar of light appeared, and the two arrived at Diyuan.

As they walked onto the stone bridge, Luo Zijun couldn't help but ask: "Fairy, does the energy of that Fire Lotus Seed in your body also need to be returned to me using the same detoxification method as last night?"

"Yes."

The Moon Palace fairy walked in front and said coldly.

"Oh."

Luo Zijun did not ask further, though he secretly wondered in his heart: Is there really only this way?

After walking out of the tunnel, the Moon Palace Fairy walked directly toward a cave not far away.

When Luo Zijun walked into the cave, he found that she had already sat down leaning against the wall as before, eyes closed, with a cold, resigned appearance.

Luo Zijun suppressed a laugh and stepped forward, asking, "Fairy, for this energy transfer, do I still need to take the initiative? Or, because it is inside your body, do you need to take the initiative?"

The Moon Palace Fairy opened her eyes, stared at him for a while, and said coldly, "Then sit down."

"With pleasure."

Luo Zijun did not act coy at all and sat down leaning against the wall.

The Moon Palace Fairy stared at him for a while longer, then snorted coldly and said, "Remember, you owe me."

Luo Zijun said, "I will keep it in mind. Please begin, Fairy."

"Hmph!"

The already pitch-black cave was suddenly filled with mist, hazy and dim; even with the vision of the divine soul, one could not see clearly.

A light barrier like thin gauze silently blocked the cave entrance.

The two quickly focused their energy and began to detoxify.

Outside the cave, it was gloomy and dark, a scene of deathly silence; inside the cave, however, dark tides surged, and dragons fought and tigers struggled.

The energy of the Samadhi Fire Lotus Seed began to flow back into Luo Zijun's body along his meridians and acupoints, at first like a trickling stream, flowing slowly, then like a rushing river with splashing waves, and finally, like a surging flood, fierce and unstoppable. In the end, all the energy finally returned to Luo Zijun's body.

The dragon enters the shallow water, the tiger wins and roars to the sky.

After resting for a short while, Luo Zijun dared not delay and immediately began to urge the Soul Power in his Dantian Sea, wrapping it around this irritable energy to continue breaking through the barrier.

"Boom!"

Once, twice, three times...

That acupoint leading to the darkness ahead remained as stable as Mount Tai, not moving a single bit.

After a long while.

The Moon Palace Fairy nearby finally stood up, walked to the cave entrance and sat down, leaning against the wall, her face streaked with tears, her expression dazed, silent and quiet, helping to guard the law.

The time of one night passed quickly.

"Boom!"

In the last few attempts, Luo Zijun finally felt that acupoint begin to loosen slightly.

He finally saw hope!

He originally wanted to make a one-time effort to continue the sprint, but his meridians at this moment, after a night of breaking through, were already very painful, and at the same time, the Soul Power in his body was about to be exhausted.

And the energy brought by the Fire Lotus Seed also seemed to have been consumed somewhat.

At this time, one must absolutely not be impatient.

He steadied his mind, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and began to slowly withdraw his cultivation.

"Hoo—"

After a long time, he let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

A night of breaking through was exceptionally exhausting.

But that irritable energy in his body still needed to be sent back to the Fairy, otherwise, with his current divine soul, he certainly could not control it, and he dared not bring it back into his physical body.

"Fairy..."

He called out toward the cave entrance and said, "There was some effect tonight; that barrier has loosened a bit."

The Moon Palace Fairy sat at the cave entrance and said indifferently upon hearing this, "Oh."

Yet she sat there without moving.

Luo Zijun's intention was for her to come over so he could prepare to return that irritable energy to her. Seeing she did not move, he had to say directly, "Fairy, you can come over now; I will send the energy in my body to you."

The Moon Palace Fairy, however, still sat there without moving, nor did she speak.

Luo Zijun had no choice but to plead, "Fairy, please help me one more time. In the future, I will be a beast of burden and at your beck and call."

"Hmph!"

Only then did the Moon Palace Fairy stand up, walk over, then go to the corner, sit down leaning against the wall, and close her eyes.

Luo Zijun said, "Alright, this time it is my turn to take the initiative."

Soon, the cave was shrouded in smoke.

The two began to detoxify.

That irritable energy began to flow slowly into the Moon Palace Fairy's body, at first very slowly, then gradually rushing, and finally, like a mountain flood, it was all poured in at once.

The divine souls of the two flickered with fluorescent light; one began to dim because all the energy had poured out, while the other became dazzling because it had accepted too much energy.

The energy of the Samadhi Fire Lotus Seed, after the consumption of these two nights, was still very overbearing.

The Moon Palace Fairy lay on the ground for a long time before she fully digested it and integrated it into her Soul Sea. Only then did she slowly sit up, look to the side, and say coldly, "Time to go."

"Oh."

Luo Zijun also sat up.

The two left the cave together and walked into the pitch-black tunnel.

"Fairy, there are three nights left. Do you think I can really break through to the Fen Shen Realm?"

"I don't know."

"But Fairy said last night that as long as you help me, I have a ninety percent chance of breaking through."

"You are too rough."

"Ah?"

"Hmph!"

The two of them quickly exited the Diyuan.

Arriving at the back garden and standing amidst the profusion of Qianhong flowers, this time, the Moon Palace Fairy did not leave immediately.

She gazed at the Bai Hua Hu not far ahead, her white dress fluttering and her beautiful hair dancing; under the cold, silvery moonlight, she looked like a true Moon Palace Fairy.

Luo Zijun could not help but reach out his hand and grasp her small hand inside her sleeve.

But the instant their hands touched, the Moon Palace Fairy's body visibly trembled, and then she turned her head to look at him, saying coldly, "What are you doing?"

Luo Zijun said, "What do you mean what am I doing? I'm just holding the Fairy's hand."

"You..."

The Moon Palace Fairy looked at him with icy eyes, a dangerous aura emanating from her body: "Are you courting death?"

Luo Zijun had a strange expression on his face: "Is it not even allowed to hold hands? Just now, when we were down below, the Fairy took the initiative to reach out and hold my..."

"Shut up!"

The Moon Palace Fairy interrupted him immediately, coldly shaking off his hand, and said in an icy tone, "Below is below, and here is here; are the Human Realm and the Ghost Realm the same? Besides, I was helping you cultivate..."

"Fine..."

Luo Zijun did not dare to say more, fearing he would make her angry and be unable to break through his cultivation barrier tomorrow night.

"Hmph!"

The Moon Palace Fairy let out a cold huff and warned in an icy voice, "If you dare to be so presumptuous again, do not blame this Fairy for not sparing you!"

"Oh."

Luo Zijun apologized sincerely: "Fairy, I know I was wrong; I will certainly learn my lesson in the future and will never dare to offend the Fairy again."

"Hmph!"

The Moon Palace Fairy gave him a few more cold looks before her figure flashed, and she flew into the night sky, disappearing from sight.

"Tch!"

Luo Zijun curled his lip and could not help but mutter to himself, "Underground or above ground, it's all just divine souls, what is the difference? Pretending! Just a moment ago, she was still begging me in the Diyuan with a sobbing tone, asking me to... hmm?"

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine; he turned his head to look and saw a white shadow standing silently behind him, like a ghost, staring at him with icy eyes.

"What were you saying just now?"

"No... nothing."

Luo Zijun was badly frightened and hurriedly denied it.

The Moon Palace Fairy, who had returned, stared at him coldly for a while longer before saying, "Break through your barrier yourself tomorrow night; I am not coming."

Having said that, she flew into the night sky and disappeared from sight.

Luo Zijun was instantly dumbfounded.

"Fairy, don't—"
