In Xiyue Immortal Venerable's view, she was certain she could escape from Lu Chen tomorrow.
On one hand, when she has close contact with Lu Chen, she would become emotionally attached to him, making it impossible to concentrate on refining the Beast Core.
On the other hand, even if Lu Chen could truly assist her in refining the Beast Core, the initiative in refining it rests in her hands, so she couldn't focus on refining the Beast Core at this moment.
As long as the speed of refining the Beast Core during Dual Cultivation with Lu Chen isn't faster than when she refines it alone, she can justifiably go into seclusion, preventing Lu Chen from committing any animalistic acts with her.
However, just as Xiyue Immortal Venerable thought that as long as she didn't actively refine the Beast Core, Lu Chen would be unable to do anything, she suddenly felt Lu Chen's immortal power enter her body, which in turn compelled her own immortal power to be mobilized.
