After thinking about it seriously for a while, in the end, Shun Long could only come to the conclusion, that this had something to do with the Golden Book.
After all, ever since he had absorbed the knowledge within the Golden Book, the book had fused with his soul, becoming one with it.
Shun Long did not know if there would be any changes when he broke through to the nascent soul stage, but he could only speculate that his spirit senses were now like this thanks to the golden book.
Moreover, his soul had also been forcefully expanded while he was still in the Qi condensation stage, so it was unnatural to assume that this had something to do with the golden book as well.
After he sorted through his thoughts, Shun Long took a deep breath, before he closed his eyes and imagined himself leaving a foggy place in the 'Time Stone'.
Soon, he found himself back inside the inn room.
Looking around the room, Shun Long realized that the room was completely empty, while a thick aura of death came from the courtyard.
Opening the door of the room, Shun Long looked at Liu Mei who was behind him, while he saw an army of undead beings standing in line in front of him.
Over 100 skeletons were being led by 6 undead knights, as they all faced Liu Mei like they were looking at their general.
Shun Long's eyes sparkled when he realized that the cultivation of the skeleton was at the peak of rank 9 in the Heaven class, whereas the undead knight had reached the initial rank 1 in the Spirit realm!
This meant that Liu Mei had also broken through to the Spirit realm during this time.
As the door of the room opened, it was almost as if she felt something, Liu Mei turned her head, only to see Shun Long smiling at her.
''Long!''
An excited expression appeared on her face, as Liu Mei quickly walked towards him.
Seeing the worried look in his eyes as he hugged her, Shun Long hugged Liu Mei back with a gentle expression on her face.
For Liu Mei, it had been 2 months since the last time she saw Shun Long, but Shun Long had felt the passage of nearly 2 years during this time.
Even if the foggy place in the 'Time Stone' followed different laws, and his body did not end up aging, his mind would have experienced 2 years of secluded cultivation, after all, during that time he increased his spiritual power and comprehended the Dao. of time!
After hugging Liu Mei, Shun Long then pushed her back slightly, as she said
''Meier, I have to shower first.''
Then, with a smile on his face he continued
''Do you want to join me?''
Liu Mei's face immediately flushed red at Shun Long's question.
Although they often cultivated doubles together, and being intimate was not something unfamiliar to the two of them, blatantly asking her to join him in the bathroom was still a first for Liu Mei, she said, and it made his heart beat faster.
He looked at Shun Long with his face flushed red, but in the end, he still nodded his head as he agreed to his request.
Shun Long then smiled as he held her hand and returned to the room.
Each room in the 'golden pig inn' has a large bathtub, as well as a shower, and this one is no different.
Opening the shower, Shun Long let cold water splash onto his back, while his hands scoured all over Liu Mei's body.
A gentle groan shot out from his mouth as Shun Long's hand lightly pinched his nipple, before he moved his hand towards his lower body.
At the same time, Liu Mei could feel Shun Long's hard stick on her back.
After 2 months of not feeling each other, sounds of pleasure filled their rooms, as Shun Long and Liu Mei underwent more than one difficult double cultivation round.
3 hours later, Liu Mei's body was entangled with Shun Long's body inside the bathtub, as she lay on it, while her head was placed on her chest.
Shun Long explained to Liu Mei that he had spent this time understanding the Dao, as well as increasing his own spiritual power.
He also explained to her his own understanding in the Dao of Time, but Shun Long did not mention anything about the 'Time Stone', and the crimson or white palace.
It was not because he did not trust Liu Mei, but rather, because he knew that this would only make him even more worried.
After all, even Little Black who had lived for thousands of years, felt worried about his master and was powerless to help him in this matter.
Although the 'Time Stone' was a peerless treasure, it was also a source of worry for Shun Long.
Liu Mei also shared her cultivation experience over the past 2 months to Shun Long.
Shun Long also told him what he had learned from Little Black. That as long as he absorbed the death aura within his body, his understanding of the Dao of Death would increase by itself.
When he finished his words, Shun Long saw Liu Mei speechless, as if he was contemplating his words.
Other than killing people, how else could one absorb the aura of death?
Liu Mei had to choose, whether she wanted to remain as a necromancer, or continue to understand the Dao of Ice alone.
Shun Long did not interrupt him after seeing that he had been lost in thought, but a moment later, he noticed that the look in his eyes had changed.
A glint of determination flashed within her beautiful black eyes, as Shun Long watched her stare back at him.
''If I am a necromancer, then I can help protect Long-ge! So what if I have to kill? The cultivators kill each other every day!''
With these words in her heart, Liu Mei suddenly flashed a dazzling smile to Shun Long, which left her stunned for a moment.
After spending more time with each other in the bathtub, Shun Long and Liu Mei put on new clothes, before they left their rooms.
After patting the head of the beetle tiger that looked excited to see him once more, Shun Long and Liu Mei climbed onto the back of the panther, as they left the inn.
With her arms wrapped around Shun Long's waist, Liu Mei then asked
''Long-ge, where are we going this time?''
Shun Long smiled lightly, and turning his head to the side to look at Liu Mei, he said
''To 'gold Exchange Company'!''
