Chapter 165: Put Me Down!

By the time Tyler woke up, his entire body was in pain. He felt as if all the internal organs inside his body were burning. He tried to push himself up only to find that his limbs were paralyzed.

Tyler suddenly remembered the time when he was in his resting place between worlds. At that time, he wasn't able to feel his limbs either. The only difference was that this time, his internal organs were suffering.

He couldn't help but purse his lips to suppress the waves of pain traveling throughout his body.

Just then, the male lead walked over and helped Tyler up in a meditative position. After that, he sat back and said in a depressed voice, "We shouldn't practice dual cultivation arts until your situation stabilizes."

Tyler tilted his head in confusion. He knew that they wouldn't practice dual cultivation now anyway since demonic energy created havoc, but now that he thought about it, maybe such an activity might help him more.

After all, the primary thing that he had to do was find a way to expel this demonic energy from his body. And if dual cultivation could increase the spiritual power, it might help him even more. But the risks that would come with it were higher. If this didn't work, it might end up backfiring himself, and his life would be in danger.

Perhaps his senior had also thought of this, and maybe that was why he rejected the idea of dual cultivation for now. Tyler couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart at that.

"We can," Tyler said softly.

"No!" Feng Chao stubbornly refused!

"Do you have any other voice?!" Tyler snapped back. Sometimes, he hated that his senior could be so persistent, but he also knew how to shut his senior's mouth. He had thought that his lover would lower his head and engage in deep thinking to find a solution to this complicated problem.

But who could have thought that this shameless person would nod and say, "I'll become a demonic cultivator either!"

Tyler facepalmed himself. This person had bold ideas that would make him speechless every second. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this.

When they were thinking about this, someone came running toward them. It was Cheng Xiu.

That was when Tyler noticed his surroundings. They were currently sitting beside another cave while the male lead sat on a boulder. Tyler's body was leaning on the trunk of a tree.

So the female lead, who had just appeared, came from the narrow path that led toward the forest. Her face was pale, and brows furrowed as she continued to run, but when she saw Tyler sitting against the tree, she heaved a sigh in relief.

"Maybe I heard wrong, and they didn't do anything to him." She muttered to herself, falling on her knees in exhaustion.

"What're you doing here?" Feng Chao frowned at her action and asked bluntly.

"Elder Feng." A bitter smile formed on her lips. "I was sent to a random place with Senior Shen Qiu, and I heard something." Then she raised her eyes and looked at Tyler. "He said that senior Chang Hong has already become a demonic cultivator. It's not true, is it?"

Tyler frowned.

Why was his junior martial brother telling everyone that he had become a demonic cultivator already?

Feng Chao snorted and didn't say anything.

"We should keep going," Tyler said while trying to get up, but as soon as he moved, his entire body flushed in pain, and he groaned, leaning back on the tree. Sweat formed on his forehead.

The female lead saw this and frowned before suddenly realizing something. "Something happened to you…" Her eyes widened. "It has to be Shen Qiu! That man! I had seen the expression on his face when we had just entered the realm, and he looked like a maniac!!"

Tyler got a headache from her chatter, and he quickly wanted to deal with his problem or else the demonic energy in his body would create even more problems. So he said to the female lead, "Can you go away for a bit? We have to expel this thing."

"No!" The male lead stubbornly rejected Tyler's idea. "Absolutely not. There's a chance that you might even die!"

"But there's also a possibility of expelling it successfully!"

"I won't permit it. I'm your master!"

"So what if you're my master? I'm not talking to my master, but my lover!" Tyler was furious now. His senior wasn't listening to him anymore, and this gave him even more headaches.

The female lead was confused at first, but after listening for a while, her entire face went red as she realized something.

Were they planning to deal with the demonic energy with the help of dual cultivation? Pursing her lips, she said, "Elder Feng, I think senior Chang Hong is right. M-Maybe dual cultivation can help him. My master had told me that if the spiritual energy is high, maybe the negativity inside one's body can be reduced, but you have got to have a higher spiritual environment for that."

Feng Chao frowned at first and thought for a while before suddenly saying, "Then I guess we will have to enter the third layer as fast as possible."

Before Tyler could say anything, his senior picked his body up in a princess carry and walked toward Cheng Xiu.

"Put me down!" Tyler's face went red as he tried to hide his face in the male lead's arms. It was okay if they did this alone, but a girl was also present here! And most importantly, this girl wasn't just any normal person, but the female lead! Just what was this male lead thinking?!

"It's alright." The female lead chuckled nervously, but in her heart, she was giggling after seeing her favorite couple showing off love right before her eyes. She was practically feasting the scene right now.

And why should she mind seeing such a scene anyway? He was happy seeing Chang Hong and his master acting so lovey-dovey like this.
