Chapter 357: Successful Promotion 2

When Leng Xuan opened his eyes and discovered the dust whirling in the air, he was startled. He looked around and saw the setting sun in the west, about to dip below the horizon, and was momentarily frozen. Could it be that, during the time he was breaking through his cultivation level, the sun had actually moved from the east to the west? A whole day had passed just like that?

Thinking of this, Leng Xuan couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. Then, he suddenly noticed that his whole body was sticky and uncomfortable, as if he had been smeared with a layer of paste. Glancing downward, he was indeed shocked to find that his body seemed to be coated in a layer of black mud, suffused with a foul stench. Yet instead of feeling disgusted, he burst into hearty laughter. He had never expected that as his cultivation level entered the second layer of the Jiuyang Divine Art, his cultivation rank also leap-frogged from the tail end of Late Core Formation straight into the Initial Fusion Stage. Moreover, this process had even resulted in a complete body transformation, expelling most of the useless impurities. It was truly an unexpected outcome!

Thereupon, in order to confirm whether he had really entered the Fusion Stage, Leng Xuan circulated his Qi to inspect his internal condition and found that, within his Dantian, the lotus seed had grown and blossomed. A clear lotus was indeed flourishing inside the Dantian, which confirmed he had indeed entered Fusion. Next, he flipped the palms of his hands over and two football-sized flames appeared in them. As he directed them with his thoughts, they danced around his body in circles and finally dissipated into the void.

Leng Xuan had not expected that in just one day, his progress would be so astonishing. Smiling, he put on his trousers, and taking advantage of the moment when there were few people downstairs, slipped through the window and into his room. However, to his surprise, the door to his room was ajar, which meant that, during his cultivation, someone had opened his door and come looking for him. Thinking about it, other than Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie, it couldn’t have been anyone else. Concentrating, he heard the sound of the TV from the living room, and after a pause, heard Li Mengjie exclaim, "Xue Jiu, where on earth could Cold Bodyguard have run off to? It’s been a whole day, and he hasn’t returned. Nothing bad could’ve happened, right?"

"How should I know!" Ling Xuejiu seemed a bit irritated, saying, "This Leng Xuan, seriously. Even if he goes out, he could at least leave a note at home, right? But no, he just disappears without even a phone call. Humph!"

Li Mengjie said, "I think Cold Bodyguard doesn’t seem like someone who would just wander off aimlessly, oh..." As if suddenly realizing something, she exclaimed in surprise, then continued, "Xue Jiu, did you notice just now that Cold Bodyguard’s window was open?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xuejiu responded, "What about it?"

Li Mengjie speculated, "I’m wondering if Cold Bodyguard could’ve sleepwalked out of the window!"

"This..." Ling Xuejiu seemed to also entertain this idea, hesitating for a bit before replying, "That makes sense, but now it’s nighttime. Could he still be sleepwalking? If not, he should’ve come back by now, right?"

"Well, that’s true!" Li Mengjie remarked, "When he comes back, we’re immediately taking him to see a psychologist!"
