NOVPUBChapter 129: Because Yun Luoxi is Ling Xue’s Woman
Ling Xue needed several days to fully recover, even with the help of the tree demon. During those days, both Ling Xue and Yun Luoxi stayed on the tenth level of the Asura Purgatory Tower.
Yun Luoxi, of course, never went back to Ling Xue’s bath chamber again. While Ling Xue focused on healing, Yun Luoxi was cultivating her Bing Xin Lu (Ice Heart Technique). She found that this technique suited her well. Coupled with the Bai Ming Yao Huo (White Nether Demon Fire), it greatly enhanced her combat power.
For example, although she was currently at the first stage of the Ji Wu (Ultimate Martial) realm, by using the Ice Heart Technique and White Nether Demon Fire together, she could fight on par with someone at the second stage of the Ji Wu realm. From now on, she had a way to fight opponents of higher ranks.
High up in the towering tree, sitting cross-legged on the thick branches and lush green leaves, Yun Luoxi meditated with her eyes closed.
A gentle breeze brushed past, causing her white hair to sway softly, creating a scene of ethereal beauty. The snow-white maiden, surrounded by green leaves, looked particularly captivating.
It was a long time before she slowly opened her eyes, but as soon as she did, Ling Xue’s face appeared before her!
Their faces were less than a foot apart!
Yun Luoxi was startled. “You... what are you doing?”
When did Ling Xue come?
Had he been watching me all this time?
No—if I hadn’t opened my eyes just now, who knows what he might have done to me...
Ling Xue smiled gently at the flustered Yun Luoxi. He then reached out and lightly pinched her delicate, snow-white chin. “Let’s go!”
This small gesture instantly made Yun Luoxi’s brows furrow slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face. She realized that Ling Xue had changed—he had truly changed!
He was no longer the same as before. Now, when he looked at her, there was a trace of tenderness and affection that hadn’t been there before.
Yes, it was obvious, because Ling Xue didn’t try to hide it at all.
This once aloof leader of the demonic sect had become much gentler toward her. His newfound tenderness was somewhat disconcerting, but she had to admit… this man’s gentleness was somewhat captivating.
Looking at Ling Xue’s face so close to hers, Yun Luoxi instinctively backed away slightly and asked, “Have you fully recovered?”
Ling Xue nodded. If he had been outside, it might have taken him one or two months to fully recover. But with the help of this Ji Wu level nine master alchemist tree demon, he had fully recovered in less than ten days.
“Well then… let’s go!” Yun Luoxi stood up.
Since he had recovered, they should be able to leave this frozen world now.
But just as Yun Luoxi stood up, Ling Xue suddenly grabbed her jade-like hand.
She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but this time, she restrained herself. She merely turned her head to look at Ling Xue, curious about what he wanted to do next.
“There’s a Ji Wu level nine alchemist here. Before we leave… don’t you want to take some good stuff with you?” Ling Xue smiled faintly.
“If you need any pills, just ask him for some. Even for future use, you can take more.”
Hearing this, Yun Luoxi was a little surprised. “How can I just take someone’s things for no reason?”
“Trust me, he’ll give them to you.” Ling Xue smiled.
“The tree demon is indeed generous. I have refined many pills, but I don’t need them myself.”
“If You needed some, he would surely give them to you.”
Yun Luoxi thought for a moment.
Pills are always useful, and no one ever has too many of them. Since Ling Xue is encouraging me, it will not hurt to try.
So, she and Ling Xue went to see the tree demon together. Before leaving, they asked for a large batch of pills.
The tree demon was indeed very generous. Since Yun Luoxi was Ling Xue’s woman, whatever pills she wanted, if he had them, he gave them to her without hesitation. Thus, before they left, Ling Xue and Yun Luoxi thoroughly looted his stash.

After bidding farewell to the tree demon, Ling Xue did not immediately leave the Asura Purgatory Tower. Instead, he took Yun Luoxi to the seventh level.
In the primeval forest, two massive Li Huo Giant Apes were jumping around a small golden monkey.
Despite their species being extinct and their future uncertain, they seemed happy at the moment.
Noticing Ling Xue’s arrival, the two big apes and the little monkey stopped what they were doing and came over to him.
Without saying a word, Ling Xue waved his hand and brought out a staff—its two ends glowing bright red, and the middle part pitch black.
Upon seeing this, the two Li Huo Giant Apes were shocked. “This… the Tian Li Huo Staff? You have the Tian Li Huo Staff? You actually… defeated the Li Huo Demon Ape?”
Has Ling Xue really done it?
But… how is that possible?
How can someone at the Ji Wu fifth stage like Ling Xue have done it?
That was the Li Huo Demon Ape—a being that surpassed the Ji Wu tenth stage!
Ling Xue didn’t explain anything. He just hefted the Tian Li Huo Staff in his hand and asked, “So… what exactly is this thing?”
He had sacrificed three thousand demon dragons and almost lost his Resurrection Armor to get this staff. If it turned out to be useless, he would have taken a huge loss.
“We don’t know what the Tian Li Huo Staff is exactly,” replied the two Li Huo Giant Apes. “We only heard the chieftain say that it’s crucial for breaking through to the Supreme Realm.”
