Awkward Couple

Shen Qingxuan, female, 25 years old.

She was the girlfriend that Luo Jing met on a blind date. After the strong urging of both parents, they successfully entered into marriage.

Although the total time they knew each other was less than half a year, they eventually got married.

However, on their wedding night, before they had the chance to enter the bridal chamber, they directly traversed realms and came into this strange world.

At first, Luo Jing and Shen Qingxuan both thought they had traversed separately.

But when the couple practiced cultivation at night, they vaguely felt each other's existence.

Then they met in their dreams.

For five days, they communicated with each other about their situations and information, finally confirming that this was not an illusion or a dream, but real.

The two of them had really come to a strange world together.

Within the Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect, Shen Qingxuan had heard of the notorious reputation of the Soul Refining Sect.

In the Soul Refining Sect, Luo Jing also indirectly inquired about the existence of the Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect.

Both of them crossed over to the same world, but fate played a trick on them. One was a miscellaneous disciple of the demonic Soul Refining Sect, while the other was a direct disciple of the elder of the righteous Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect.

Their identities and situations were worlds apart.

For the past few days, they have been communicating and researching the nature of this dream world and how to help Luo Jing leave the Soul Refining Sect.

And for that, they can only rely on Shen Qingxuan.

After all, as a direct disciple of the elder in the Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect, she had many privileges and was far superior to Luo Jing, a miscellaneous disciple of the demonic Soul Refining Sect.

Looking at Shen Qingxuan's smile now, it seemed that she had found the map of the Soul Refining Sect?

However, Luo Jing, who was sitting across from her, laughed awkwardly at this moment.

He said with some embarrassment, "Um, something happened today, so let's synchronize first... You'll know after we synchronize."

Synchronization was a strange state between the two of them.

After crossing over, their souls seemed to have some kind of connection and almost became one.

But at this moment, Luo Jing didn't feel the joy of increased power.

He sat in the clouds, carefully observing his wife's expression...

Then he saw Shen Qingxuan on the other side open her eyes.

And then, her gaze became complicated.

Luo Jing laughed dryly.

"That...I resisted desperately!"

Luo Jing laughed and defended himself.

-This is why Luo Jing struggled so hard during the day and didn't want to submit to Senior Sister Wang.

Yes, Wang Rui was a figure in the Medicine Hall of Dawn Moon Peak, and she looked pretty good. If Luo Jing submitted to her and grabbed onto this thigh, his days in the Soul Refining Sect would be much easier.

But every night during the synchronization, Shen Qingxuan could see what Luo Jing did during the day.

If he submitted to Wang Rui, even if he didn't submit, as long as he had any hesitation, then...

There was a slight silence in the sea of clouds.

Afterward, Shen Qingxuan sighed and said, "Actually...you don't have to be like this..."

But she wasn't angry.

Seeing this, Luo Jing awkwardly chuckled, but remained silent.

Shen Qingxuan's lack of anger actually made him even more uneasy.

Their acquaintance began with a blind date. Their relationship wasn't particularly deep, and they seemed to have nothing to do with love.

They just found each other somewhat pleasing to the eye, and after several meetings arranged by their parents, they realized that they were suitable marriage partners.

Their beliefs, personality, and dislikes were similar, and although their meetings and dates were not particularly intimate, they were not too awkward either.

It was unlikely that they would find a better marriage partner than each other in the future.

So, they got married.

However, even before their wedding, they had only kissed a few times like a couple.

A sense of distance always surrounded them.

On their wedding night, they had a long heart-to-heart talk while lying in bed, and that feeling of distance lessened a bit.

Luo Jing thought that perhaps after spending some time together after marriage, they would truly become a loving couple.

But unfortunately, they arrived in this unfamiliar world.

For five days, they could only meet each other in their dreams.

An unfamiliar environment, an unfamiliar world.

"Lu Jing vaguely felt that there seemed to be a sense of alienation between the two sides, and it seemed to be more serious than before. Now looking at the fairy in white in the clouds and mist, Lu Jing was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

Shen Qingxuan sighed and changed the subject. "Actually... what I want to tell you today is bad news." The expression on his wife's face seemed a bit solemn. Lu Jing also cooperated and shifted his attention, hesitatingly asking, "Is it difficult to escape from the Soul Refining Sect? This is the biggest bad news now, right?"

Seeing his wife nod slightly, he sighed and said, "Yes..." She sat in the sea of clouds and looked at Lu Jing, saying, "Today, I consulted the sect's collection of books and searched for many materials related to the Soul Refining Sect. I finally learned about the situation of the Soul Refining Sect."

"The Soul Refining Sect is one of the most ferocious sects in the demonic path. However, their influence has declined somewhat in recent years. It seems that the sect master of the Soul Refining Sect is addicted to some kind of secret technique and rarely goes out, causing the overall strength of the sect to shrink."

"The sect entrance of the Soul Refining Sect is located in the Vast Ancient Mountains, guarded by the Devouring Immortal Soul Refining Array. The evil beasts and monsters in the Vast Ancient Mountains outside the sect entrance are even kept by the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect."

"The evil beasts and monsters in the Vast Ancient Mountains, as well as the Devouring Immortal Soul Refining Array, are the two strongest barriers of the Soul Refining Sect."

"Since the founding of the Soul Refining Sect by the ancestor Lianmo Lao Guai, the sect has experienced ups and downs but has never been attacked by outsiders."

"With our current strength, it is impossible to walk out of the Vast Ancient Mountains alone."
