Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lu Sangjiu ignored his teasing and exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Xie Ningyuan? You're not dead?"
The smile on Xie Ningyuan's lips froze. Then, he replied, sounding rather speechless, "...I'm not dead. So sorry to disappoint you."
After he spoke, he suddenly asked in surprise, "You're at Late-stage Foundation Establishment?"
"Ah…" Lu Sangjiu cleared her throat and said evasively, "This senior is actually not a bad person. He gave me a hand."
'She wasn't about to elaborate. After all… Immortal Demon Dual Cultivation was still a form of Cultivating Demon. Who knew if Xie Ningyuan would strike her dead on the spot if he found out?'
'Fortunately, the Demonic Qi inside her was concealed and protected by her Spiritual Energy and Heavenly Punishment Qi. As long as she didn't actively use it, no one would be able to detect anything unusual.'
