Chapter 486: Leaving the Fire Domain 4

Nangong Liuyun tilted his head, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, as he looked at Su Luo with a smile: "Success?"

"Mm!" Su Luo broke into a faint smile, stretched lazily and comfortably, and said happily, "Heaven rewards the diligent; I've finally reached the Fourth Rank. It wasn't easy…"

Nangong Liuyun pinched the tip of her nose, caught between laughter and tears: "If you call this 'not easy', wouldn't others die of shame? Think about how many days you've been Cultivating."

Su Luo blinked and complained, "What do you mean 'a few days'? It's been almost five months."

"Almost five months? You call that long?" The corners of Nangong Liuyun's mouth curled up wickedly; at this moment, he appeared demonic and charming. "In less than five months, going from nothing to the Fourth Rank—what kind of speed is that? Since the continent's history began, there has never been such a record."

Su Luo's eyes immediately lit up, bright and spirited: "Really? Then wouldn't I be the first in the history of the continent?"

"Mm!" On Nangong Liuyun's naturally magnificent and demonic handsome face, his deep eyes were as clear as crystal. He said with certainty, "In terms of Cultivation speed alone, indeed you are."

Su Luo was instantly delighted, the corners of her mouth curling high, her bright eyes like autumn waters curving into smiles.

Previously, she had been complaining that her Cultivation speed was too slow and her strength too weak, leading to her being constantly hunted and on the run, hardly having a day of peace.

But hearing Nangong Liuyun's explanation, her heart immediately felt balanced. ♦♦  ♦♦

Speaking of which, her Cultivation speed really was very fast. One must know that Su Xi was known as a minor Genius, yet she was only at the Fourth Rank at fourteen years old. And what about herself?

Previously, Su Xi had been flaunting her power in front of her, but now, Su Luo could completely trample her underfoot.

Nangong Liuyun, with features as beautiful as a painting, looked at her with a smile: "If you maintain this speed in the future, reaching the Eighth Rank within two years is not impossible."

"I'll take your word for it." Su Luo smiled with immense pride.

Suddenly, Su Luo's expression changed slightly. She stared at the stone in her hand in surprise, then looked at Nangong Liuyun with astonishment, silently questioning him.

Nangong Liuyun's gaze fell upon that stone, and he was also momentarily speechless.

"This… what is going on?" Su Luo pointed at the mysterious stone and asked in wonder.

Just a moment ago, it was slowly absorbing the heat around Su Luo, but as soon as Su Luo advanced to the Fourth Rank, the stone's appetite seemed to suddenly grow larger!

If the stone was nibbling slowly before, now it was devouring ravenously.

This stone seemed to possess a magical power that could make the flames automatically surge toward it.

Then, these flames were actually swallowed by it at a speed visible to the naked eye, disappearing instantly.

"Do you feel any change in this Flame Cavern?" Su Luo asked suspiciously.

Why did she feel that the temperature in this Flame Cavern was slightly lower than when she first entered? Could it be because her strength had improved?

Nangong Liuyun's icy eyes were dark and profound as he nodded slightly: "If even you noticed it, then the drop must be quite obvious."

"What's that supposed to mean? Is my strength really that poor?" Su Luo rolled her eyes at him, but then furrowed her brows and said seriously, "It couldn't really be that this stone is absorbing it all, could it?"

Nangong Liuyun's smile was somewhat profound. His beautiful eyelashes were black, thick, and slightly curled, and his lips were as red as cinnabar, making him look even more enchantingly beautiful.

He patted Su Luo's head with amusement: "Lucky girl, just enjoy it in secret."
