Chapter 352: Clear Rewards and Punishments (Seeking Double Monthly Votes!!)
Cold Moon Heart could understand Liu Yu's deep meaning in his words and knew how she should respond.
However, a violent idea suddenly arose in her heart, wanting to defy his will!
It was as if there was a rebellious, bloodthirsty beast in her heart, unwilling to enter a cage or wear shackles!
She just wanted to be unrestrained and indulge in bloodlust!
"Oh no!"
Cold Moon Heart silently thought it was bad, quickly focusing her energy to suppress the "bloodthirsty beast" within her.
Using external objects to enhance one's realm still had some hidden dangers.
At that moment, the influence of demonic arts also found an opportunity to sneak in, causing her to slip further toward a state of “loss of control,” into a bottomless abyss.
Cold Moon Heart's eyes flickered with blood light, her aura suddenly becoming chaotic as she struggled to adjust her state.
Liu Yu observed the female cultivator before him with an expressionless face, realizing her current state was not right, and did not urge her.
“Replying to Senior Brother, Moon Heart understands.”
“I will control myself and not cause trouble for Senior Brother.”
After a while, the blood light in Cold Moon Heart's eyes receded, and her aura stabilized slightly. She gritted her teeth and replied.
Having witnessed Liu Yu's methods, even with a small increase in her cultivation level, she still had no confidence in being able to contend against him.
Moreover, there were sect rules that she absolutely could not defy the leader's orders.
Thus, regarding Liu Yu's request, she could only restrain her actions, not daring to, nor able to, oppose him.
“Very good.”
“Cold Junior Sister has just elevated her realm, and her cultivation is still unstable. In Liu's opinion, there is no need to carry out tasks during this time.”
“Just stay at Phoenix Mountain and stabilize your realm.”
Hearing a satisfactory response, Liu Yu's expression relaxed, revealing a slight smile.
The time right after ascending in realm is the easiest to “lose control.” Once her realm stabilizes, things will be much better.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Qingyang, for your understanding.”
“Moon Heart is willing to follow your arrangements.”
Cold Moon Heart cupped her fists and bowed, replying softly.
“Then it is settled.”
“Once we leave Phoenix Mountain, there will be no strong resistance in this area, and the next steps will be smooth.”
“During the team's stay here, Cold Junior Sister will not need to carry out tasks.”
“Your performance on this mission was commendable; this Superior Spiritual Artifact, the Cold Ice Sword, will be a reward from the sect. I will take the initiative to give it to you in advance.”
“Of course, this sword cannot be owned solely based on this merit.”
“In future tasks, you will need to make up for this part in order to participate in the distribution of loot again.”
“Junior Sister, are you willing to accept?”
As he spoke, Liu Yu took out the Cold Ice Sword obtained from the Second Elder of the Bai Family, controlling the sword to float in front of him.
As the leader in the field during wartime, his authority was not small. Representing the sect to reward and punish the cultivators in the team was one aspect of that power.
Looking at the blue flying sword exuding strands of cold air, Cold Moon Heart’s eyes flashed with joy, and she immediately replied:
“Thank you, Senior Brother Qingyang, for the gift; Moon Heart is willing to accept.”
After saying that, she took the Cold Ice Sword in her hand, gently stroking it with a sense of attachment, her face revealing a stiff smile.
Superior Spiritual Artifacts are not common items; some peers in the late stage of foundation establishment might not even possess one.
Once she obtained it, her strength would immediately increase significantly.
“Senior Brother Qingyang is indeed generous.”
This thought flashed through Cold Moon Heart's mind.
