"Don't those Jade Scrolls we got from the Underground Palace have Cultivation Techniques like that?"
"As for me, Qing Lian, I may serve you in name, but I can't possibly engage in Dual Cultivation with you."
"Because I hope my Dao Companion will be someone I genuinely love."
"Alright, just focus on your Cultivation."
Xu Lei said, "I know what you're worried about."
"You're worried I covet your body?"
"After all, you're bound to me by a contract."
"You also have a special constitution, so you're afraid I'll force you into Dual Cultivation?"
"That's why you're acting like this, isn't it?"
"Don't overthink it."
"Just focus on your Cultivation."
Qing Lian stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed. After that, she said nothing more, as Xu Lei had clearly seen right through her.
「Three days later.」
Xu Lei and Qing Lian traveled alongside Emperor Yu, serving as his guards.
As for Bai Ling, Xu Lei hadn't given her much thought.
