Bab 697: A Third One

"Aaaah~!"

"Aaaa~!"

"Mmmmmh~!

Lian Li's body glistened with sweat as she cultivated with Su Yang for hours without rest.

"Ahhhh~!"

Lian Li began twitching a few moments later, and her body released Yin Qi for the twentieth time.

"Haaa… haaa… haaa…" Lian Li collapsed onto Su Yang's chest afterward, feeling completely drained.

"We can stop here if you can't continue," Su Yang said to her.

"No… I can handle it," Lian Li said with a resolved— even somewhat forceful expression on her face.

"..."

After staring at her for a moment, Su Yang spoke, "Why are you trying so hard? Is it because of what happened during that incident?"

"I was taught to work hard to fix my mistakes by my mother, and that's what I am trying to do. I also don't want to lose to Wu Jingjing or Zhu Mengyi… and I don't want to be abandoned by you…" Lian Li said with a gloomy expression on her face, looking like she wanted to cry.
