Chapter 332 Restraint

In the early morning, just after the sky was light, Duan Rong yawned and walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, the fog was rolling. Duan Rong looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds like lead, covering the layers...

The weather in Changliu Mountain is said to be cloudy for nine days and sunny for one day. He has been in the mountain for half a month and has never seen the sun at all...

"It's really a bad year!" Duan Rong didn't know whether he was lamenting the weather or his own experience.

After washing up, he thought that after refining the elixir, Shang Xiangyu should be free for a long time.

Of course, there are two bodies in the cave where the elixir is refined. However, Duan Rong felt that if this matter alarmed the Judgment Zongzheng Division, the scene might have to be kept as evidence for a few days.

After all, there were only Pan Yong and his two registered disciples left on Shang Xiangyu's side. Duan Rong was still ready to go over and say hello to Pan Yong first, and then go to the medicine pavilion to check the accounts.

Duan Rong walked to the entrance of Pan Yong's cave. Just as he looked into the dark cave, he saw Pan Yong walking back with a wooden basin and a towel at the corner of the cliff not far away.

Pan Yong smiled and said, "Brother, do you have something to ask me?"

Duan Rong said that he had just joined the sect and his contribution points were not enough. He wanted to go to Guangluyuan to take some tasks and earn contribution points. As for his checking accounts in the medicine pavilion, Duan Rong didn't want to make it public for the time being.

Pan Yong didn't say anything, just said that he could arrange it himself, and if there was anything here, he would go to him.

The two of them said a few more polite words, and Duan Rong left.

After Duan Rong left Pan Yong, he did not go directly to the medicine pavilion with an iron lock, but went to the dense forest first.

Duan Rong walked slowly in the bright forest in the morning light, and the chirping of birds came through the leaves from time to time.

He walked to the depths of the dense forest, next to a remote bluestone.

Duan Rong walked around the bluestone, looked around, and made sure that there was no one around. Then he squatted down, dug up the soil layer at the root of the bluestone, and held a small porcelain bottle in his hand.

Duan Rong put the porcelain bottle in his sleeves, stepped on the pile of soil with his feet, and turned away.

In the small porcelain bottle was the auxiliary medicine for practicing the fourth level of the Taizang Sutra, Qingtong, which he had hidden here a few days ago.

Duan Rong was going to go to Xiao Yu after reviewing the accounts in the medicine pavilion for a few hours, and start practicing the Taizang Sutra tonight.

Duan Rong arrived at the three-story attic with gray walls and black tiles in the medicine pavilion. Xia Honghua was behind the curved counter, looking at him with her eyes.

Duan Rong hasn't been here for several days?

The contribution points they agreed on were paid monthly, which means that during the few days when Duan Rong was not here, Xia Honghua still gave him two contribution points every day.

She was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

But Duan Rong felt that he earned the contribution points based on his ability. Don't worry about whether I come or not, as long as I do the work for you as required.

Duan Rong greeted Xia Honghua enthusiastically when he walked past the counter.

Xia Honghua said angrily: "You still remember to come? I thought you forgot about my place?"

Duan Rong said: "Look at what the lady said. Even if I forgot my last name, I can't forget the lady's business!"

Xia Honghua raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't talk nicely. I don't buy it."

"Then." Xia Honghua took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Duan Rong.

"What?" Duan Rong took it and looked at it intently.

Xia Honghua said: "I will check your progress every half a month in the future. This is to ensure that you can complete the task before the half-year accounting period. If you have not completed the corresponding progress when I check, I will deduct your contribution points."

Duan Rong looked at the note, nodded, and said: "Okay."

Xia Honghua was stunned for a moment. He thought Duan Rong would bargain with her, but he didn't expect that this kid would agree directly.

Duan Rong put the note in his hand on the counter and turned to leave.

Xia Honghua said, "You don't want to take this note?"

"No need." Duan Rong glanced at the note in Xia Honghua's hand and walked away.

The progress that Xia Honghua wanted to check was much slower than the time schedule he listed, so why did he still hold it.

Xia Honghua looked at Duan Rong's figure disappearing at the door, and her eyes were slightly stunned. "Why is this kid still like nothing happened? Doesn't this trick I thought of work?"

Duan Rong hadn't come for several days, and his progress was indeed a little behind.

He stayed in the cramped and dim room for more than four hours before catching up a little.

When Duan Rong left, Xia Honghua's face finally looked better.

After all, Duan Rong didn't run away after working for two hours like usual today, but worked for more than four hours.

Xia Honghua immediately felt that it was her trick that worked and restrained Duan Rong.

She was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a little tune...

Duan Rong came out of the medicine pavilion and came to the cliff. He followed the ropeway and reached the hilltop of the stone archway.

Duan Rong had been here once before, and he was born with a deep memory of the route, so he quickly walked into the stone archway.

Duan Rong entered the stone archway and came to the place where Xiao Yu carved the stone statue last time. He looked around there, but didn't see anyone.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he walked to the cave not far from where Xiao Yu lived and waited for her by the road.

Duan Rong thought that Xiao Yu should have finished work and would be back soon.

Sure enough, Duan Rong didn't wait for long before he saw four graceful and beautiful women coming together, talking and laughing as they walked. Xiao Yu was also inside, and several of them were holding washbasins and towels.

Xiao Yu saw Duan Rong from a distance, her face slightly blushed, but she was still chatting and laughing with her female companions...

The few people separated at a fork in the road ahead, and Xiao Yu walked slowly towards Duan Rong.

But the other three women did not leave, but hid at the intersection and peeked over here.

One of the women said: "Hey, why does that person look like the one who asked us for directions by the stream that day?"

"Really? You have such a good memory? I'm afraid you have taken a fancy to him?" A petite and pretty woman said with a smile.

"Who has taken a fancy to him? I'll let you talk nonsense." The woman said and was about to twist the petite woman's mouth.

The two ran away while playing.

The other person saw that the two had left, and there was no point in watching here alone, so she also left.

Xiao Yu carried a washbasin and towel, walked to a place not far from Duan Rong, and said: "Why are you here again?"

Although Xiao Yu's mouth was cold, her eyes were looking at Duan Rong affectionately.

Duan Rong also looked at Xiao Yu, then looked up at the clouds in the sky and said, "I think it's still early. Let's go for a walk in the woods?"

Xiao Yu hummed, put the washbasin and towel into the cave, and then went out of the stone archway with Duan Rong and strolled in the woods.

The two of them just walked silently at first, and Duan Rong suddenly said, "How is the stone statue carving recently?"

It would have been better if Duan Rong didn't say anything. Once he said it, Xiao Yu seemed to open up and told Duan Rong all the big and small things that happened in the stone archway recently.

Duan Rong wanted to interject a few words, but finally found that Xiao Yu could continue talking without interrupting, so he simply nodded and smiled.

Duan Rong couldn't help but wonder when Xiao Yu became so talkative. Just like Zhu Xiaoqi.

Xiao Yu talked for a while, and suddenly froze, saying: "Why don't you say anything? Why are you grinning foolishly?"

Duan Rong said: "You talk one thing after another, without even a pause. Even if I want to talk, I have to have a breath."

Xiao Yu said anxiously: "Then why don't you call me?"

"You are so interested in talking, how can I call you?"

"Well, I won't talk now. You talk." Xiao Yu said, and then stopped talking and looked at Duan Rong.

Duan Rong's eyes suddenly moved, pointing to the two red and yellow fruits in the bushes in front, and said: "There are actually two red tide fruits here!? It's also strange!"

Duan Rong said, and then walked over and picked the two fruits. He wiped the two fruits on his clothes and handed one to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took it, looked at the strange-looking fruit in his hand, and said suspiciously: "Can this be eaten?"

Duan Rong said: "Why can't it be eaten? It's delicious?!"

Duan Rong said, and then took a bite.

Seeing that Duan Rong had already eaten, Xiao Yu said, "Okay. At worst, I'll be poisoned to death by this wild fruit with you."

Xiao Yu took a bite, and the flesh was fragrant, soft, sweet, and delicious.

Duan Rong said, "How is it? Delicious?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "It's really not bad."

This red tide fruit can only grow in a perennially humid environment. There is no such fruit in Xiangu County, but this red tide fruit is also a medicinal material, so Duan Rong knows it very well and knows the appearance and taste of its ripe fruit.

The two of them ate the red tide fruit while walking in the forest.

Duan Rong soon began to talk to Xiao Yu about various affairs in the sect.

Duan Rong mentioned the star plate, and Xiao Yu took out her star plate and showed it to Duan Rong.

Duan Rong was not surprised to see that Xiao Yu had already received the star plate. When he was waiting for Xiao Yu there, he saw Xiao Yu coming back with several female disciples, talking and laughing.

This shows that Xiao Yu has a good relationship with those female disciples.

Therefore, it was normal for them to take Xiao Yu to get the star plate in advance.

The two chatted about other things, including taking tasks in Guangluyuan and earning contribution points.

Duan Rong even talked to Xiao Yu about the ruins of gods and demons and the weird and twisted underground world.

Xiao Yu obviously didn't understand this information, and was immediately dazzled.

Before they knew it, they had walked deep into the dense forest. They chatted all the way and exchanged a lot of information. Xiao Yu also mentioned a few points that Duan Rong didn't know before.

The two were tired, so they sat down on a large white rock beside the stream.

They unconsciously leaned their shoulders together.

Xiao Yu looked at the stream and trees in front of him and murmured, "This is so beautiful!"

Duan Rong threw a stone at hand into the stream, splashing a water splash. "What's so beautiful? I haven't seen the sun in more than half a month since I came here?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and glanced at Duan Rong, as if blaming him for having no interest. However, she still agreed with Duan Rong and said, "That's right. The weather here is really strange, it's always foggy."

The two sat on the big rock, and soon they saw that dusk had fallen in the forest.

A perfect poem, a post, a content, a book, a bar!

Xiao Yu said, "Let's go back."

Duan Rong looked at the stream not far away. "Let's catch a few fish and take them back?"

Xiao Yu nodded.

Duan Rong tied a few fish and tied them with bamboo strips.

The two walked along the way they came, towards the stone archway.

Halfway, the dusk was getting thicker and thicker.

They didn't speak, and there was silence all around, and no wind. Their footsteps echoed, and their hearts were peaceful and integrated.

The stone archway was not far away, and there were little firelights in the darkness, revealing warmth.

Duan Rong glanced at Xiao Yu in the dark, his eyes deep.

If, one day he really wants to leave Taiyi Sect. He will tell Xiao Yu, but he will not take Xiao Yu with him.

Xiao Yu has relatives, unlike him, who is alone.

Xiao Zongting still needs someone to take care of him in his old age.

Duan Rong thought so, and a faint sadness surged in his heart.

The two walked to the entrance of Xiao Yu's cave in the dark sky.

They found dry firewood, lit it with a fire stick, and sat at the entrance of the cave and started grilling fish.

Duan Rong grilled fish by the fire, and Xiao Yu sat there with his knees hugged, staring at the fire in a daze.

After the two finished eating the grilled fish, they sat at the entrance of the cave to rest.

Duan Rong suddenly said: "Hey, let's go to the place where you carved the stone statue?"

Xiao Yu wondered: "What's good about that?"

"Let's go. I want to see." Duan Rong said and stood up.

Seeing Duan Rong's insistence, Xiao Yu took him to the cave where he usually carved.

Xiao Yu lit a candle in the cave.

The cave was filled with stone statues of all sizes, and the largest ones were more than two people tall.

Duan Rong asked, "Who carved those big ones?"

"They were all carved by masters. It took three or four people one or two months to carve one."

Duan Rong suddenly saw a pile of stone sculptures thrown in a remote corner of the cave entrance, and he lay there and started to search.

"What are you looking for?"

Duan Rong brought four stone sculptures that were just below the calf, put them on the ground, and asked Xiao Yu, "I think they are well carved, why are they piled in that corner?"

"Those are for novices to practice. Why are you messing with them?" Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong with doubts.

Duan Rong did not answer, but looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Let's carry these four to your cave."

"Why do we have to carry them?"

Xiao Yu really did not understand Duan Rong's strange behavior.

Duan Rong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Use them as pillows."

"Isn't it uncomfortable to use them as pillows? Even if it is a pillow, just take one over."

"Don't worry about it, just help me carry two."

"I won't carry them!"

Although Xiao Yu said she didn't want to carry them, when Duan Rong gave her the two stone statues in his arms, she quickly took them.

Duan Rong picked up the other two on the ground and said, "Let's go."

As Duan Rong said this, he had already walked out of the cave with the two stone statues in his arms.

"Nerves!"

Xiao Yu cursed, but still carried the other two stone statues and followed Duan Rong.

Duan Rong placed the two stone statues deep in Xiao Yu's cave. He took a towel and wiped the dust off his body, and also wiped the dust off Xiao Yu's belly.

Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong and said, "Tell me, why did you bring these stone statues here?"

Duan Rong smiled and said, "They look good."

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't play dumb. Tell the truth."

Duan Rong sighed, looked at Xiao Yu seriously, and said, "Anyway, I have a use for it. It's hard for me to explain it clearly for a while. I'll tell you later."

Xiao Yu saw that Duan Rong was serious, so she stopped asking questions. She didn't want to force Duan Rong to ask.

At this time, it was late, so the two blew out the candles and lay on the stone bed.

In the darkness, they could clearly hear each other's breathing.

Xiao Yu's breathing was intermittent...

Duan Rong lay there, and the heat in his lower abdomen began to surge.

Duan Rong suddenly turned over and pressed on Xiao Yu's body. He breathed rapidly and covered his lips on Xiao Yu's lips.

Duan Rong was restless, Xiao Yu did not resist, and let Duan Rong's lips invade frantically...

But after a while, Duan Rong suddenly stopped.

The two of them stared at each other in the darkness. They couldn't see each other's faces, but could only roughly distinguish each other's eyes, which flickered slightly in the darkness.

Xiao Yu's lips were a little painful from Duan Rong's kiss, but her heart was filled with a different feeling... She couldn't tell whether it was happiness or pain...

Duan Rong suddenly jumped off the bed.

He knew that even if he took another step just now, Xiao Yu would not resist.

But he couldn't.

Maybe he would leave Taiyi Sect soon. Can he take Xiao Yu away? Will Xiao Yu leave with him?

He didn't know. He couldn't let Xiao Yu lose her virginity to him with so many certain factors.

The moment Duan Rong jumped off the bed, Xiao Yu's tears flowed down.

If Duan Rong wanted to take a step just now, she would not refuse him. And Xiao Yu had already felt that Duan Rong was clearly aroused.

But in order to restrain himself, he was willing to sleep on the ground.

After Duan Rong jumped off the bed, he began to fiddle with the four stone statues.

He put them down and sat cross-legged between them.

Xiao Yu was on the stone bed and heard the noise made by Duan Rong and asked, "What are you doing?"

Duan Rong said, "Nothing, go to sleep."

Xiao Yu heard Duan Rong's voice and identified his position, so he threw the animal skin blanket on his body to Duan Rong and said, "Cover yourself with the blanket, don't catch a cold."

Duan Rong just sat in the middle of the stone statues when the animal skin blanket covered his head. He took it off in the dark and put it aside.

Duan Rong understood at this time. Xiao Yu thought that he was willing to sleep on the ground in order to restrain himself.

But it was almost the same.

He was preparing to start practicing the fourth level of the Taizang Sutra in order to restrain himself.
