Chapter 308 Online Dating Meets Reality
at the same time.

Su Mengqing from the Emei Sect has also been glued to her phone lately.

I have to check Douyin every few seconds to see if I've missed someone's message, and I even keep looking at the message bar while eating.

Occasionally, a few cheesy pickup lines from the other person would make her blush.

This is not okay.

I cultivate the path of detachment from emotions, how can I easily fall in love?

Moreover.

I've never even seen what Pingyang looks like.

However, his voice is a youthful and energetic one.
Oops!

Su Mengqing, Su Mengqing, what are you thinking?!

Have we forgotten the earnest teachings of the Emei nuns?
Think of this.

She immediately turned off her phone and silently recited the "Emei Forget-Love Poem".

"But."

Su Mengqing, who had just begun cultivating the Dao of Forgetfulness, started to feel anxious and uncertain again.

"Wouldn't Pingyang be very upset if I didn't reply to his message immediately?"

"What if he talks to someone else if I ignore him?"

"If he makes new friends, will he gradually forget about me?"

"I ignored him without even saying hello. Is there a chance he might mistake me for one of those 'fishing' girls on Douyin?"

"Judging by the time, he must have contacted me by now."

Think about it.

She still turned on her phone.

as predicted.

Pingyang sent her several photos of the pet cubs.

And because I haven't replied for a long time.

He kept sending a lot of messages.

【23: 35】

【coriander!】

【23: 49】

[Hey hey, I spotted a rare moon fox deep in the mountains today! It was so fluffy, and its eyes were as bright as stars. (Attached is a video of the little fox rolling around in the moonlight.)]
【23: 58】

Pingyang poked your head and said, "So cute!"

【00: 03】

[Cilantro, are you already asleep? I also spotted a striped rabbit that can do somersaults today (video attached)]

(In the video, the furry cub is tangled in the hind legs by vines and clumsily rolls into a snowball.)

【00: 07】

You never used to go to bed this early. Are you in a bad mood? Or are you feeling unwell?

【00: 10】

[Am I getting too annoying by constantly posting pictures of monsters? You mentioned last time that you liked listening to the flute, so I learned the "Pure Heart and Universal Benevolence Mantra" from the elder.]

(Off-key flute music leaks out from the audio bar)

【00: 12】

A voice message was retracted.

【00: 12】

Sorry, that sounded really bad.

【00: 15】

[It's getting chilly where you are, remember to wear warm clothes! I checked the weather forecast for the Taixu Realm, and it seems like it might get colder there, with some areas even experiencing rain or snow.]

【00: 16】

Cilantro, are you angry?

【00: 18】

【It's all my fault! I shouldn't have talked about my senior's embarrassing moments yesterday. You probably think I'm a chatterbox (sends a crying tiger emoji)】

【00: 21】

【If you're angry, just yell at me! We tigers get our ears droop when we get yelled at (sent a half-face selfie: golden eyes are wet, and the tiger ears are indeed drooping)】

The last message was sent at 1 a.m.
【01: 00】

I was really wrong. Could you please reply to me tomorrow?

Pingyang started by showing concern and asking if she was feeling unwell or in a bad mood.

In the end, they even started apologizing.

I thought he had done something wrong to make me angry, which is why he didn't reply to my message.

This made Su Mengqing feel a pang of sadness, and a warm feeling she had never experienced before rose in her heart.

"How silly, you didn't do anything wrong."

Feeling guilty, Su Mengqing quickly sent a message to the other party to explain.

He explained that something had just happened at the sect and he hadn't had time to check his phone.

Both of the spirit pets are very cute.

It's a pity that her sect doesn't allow its disciples to keep spirit beasts, otherwise she would have kept one.

Pingyang replied instantly:

[It's alright, it's alright! My uncle recently bred a pet beast that doesn't possess any spiritual energy, and the sect will definitely allow you to raise it!]

Su Mengqing's heart skipped a beat; she had always loved cute pets.

However, spirit pets are uncontrollable and possess intelligence, so keeping them in captivity inevitably carries the risk of leaking the sect's private information.

But if it's a pet, you don't have this problem at all!

【real? 】

[It's even more real than real gold! It's just not officially released yet, but... I can ask him to give me one as a gift!]

Thinking of how good Pingyang had been to her during this time, Su Mengqing bit her lip and replied:

"Well, when you get here, shall we meet? You can give it to me in person."

"what?"

Lying on his side in bed with his right foot on top of his left, Pingyang sprang up in a somersault.

"Meet?"

"Cilantro agreed to meet me?"

"No! It wasn't a yes, it was an invitation to meet me, haha, hahaha!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Pingyang didn't even have time to reply to the message before launching himself towards the White Pigeon King's research base.

Late at night.

The presence of Pingyang was quickly detected by the demons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The demons began to discuss amongst themselves:
"Strange, what's wrong with Pingyang lately? Why is he acting crazy in the middle of the night?"

"He acts crazy during the day and goes insane at night."

"It looks like they're all leaving our tiger clan's territory."

"I heard that Pingyang was dumped by his goddess a few days ago, and he was so upset that he became a bit abnormal."

"Alas, what a pity. As the only son of the Tiger King, he was completely captivated by a woman."

"That's not quite right. Let me tell you, the women of the human race are incredibly skilled at seducing men. We simple demons are no match for them at all."

Some people scoffed, their faces full of pride, and said:

"Tch, you think you can outsmart our fox clan's fishermen?"

"Then it is definitely not as good as the fox clan, but you are not a fox clan, you are a tiger clan. Humans all say that we tiger clan are stupid."

"Bullshit! The roe deer are clearly number one on the list of the dumbest demon races! Do you think I haven't seen it?"

Some people also mentioned:
"Do you think Pingyang has found a new goddess again?"

"It's hard to say. What you said is also possible. As a well-known sycophant in the Tiger Clan, I would find it strange if he didn't fawn over the goddess."

Pingyang spent a lot of time and effort.

In the end, it was only after his father, the Fierce Tiger King, personally pleaded that the White Dove King reserved a calico tortoiseshell kitten for him.

However, it will take five days to receive it.

no way.

The training of pets has now reached its most crucial stage.

Every successfully bred pet is hard-won.

Each one needs to be recorded for observation, and its blood and essence should be branded for subsequent breeding.

The Beast Taming Bag is very powerful. But even if you master the perfect combination of essence and blood and the cultivation steps, you can only create a few beasts at a time.

To create a large-scale pet market.

We still need to rely on the pets bred from the Beast Taming Bag to go through the regular breeding process.

Five days?
It's still acceptable!
When Pingyang told Su Mengqing the good news, their relationship took another step forward.

Before the five-day deadline.

Su Mengqing also frequently sent small gifts to Pingyang.

A cute tiger head was embroidered on a white handkerchief with silver thread.

There was a jade sachet containing scented tea leaves that I had personally dried.

What she put the most effort into was the 'purifying bodhi seeds' she collected while chanting scriptures every day, which she strung together with a red string to make a bracelet.

Before sending them out, she carefully wiped each bead with a silk handkerchief dipped in rose dew.

of course.

Pingyang will reciprocate with gifts.

He even crafted a small tiger-head pendant based on his own head.

Like the tiger clan of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The female disciples of the Emei Sect have recently noticed that their junior sister Mengqing is acting strangely.

Su Mengqing has always been quite clever.

Lately, however, he seems to have lost his soul.

He's glued to his phone all day, whether he's eating, walking, or even chuckling to himself while the elders are giving sermons.

Sometimes, even when they put down their phones, their minds are clearly still on the phone. Sometimes they'll chuckle absentmindedly, and other times they'll be glued to their phones, waiting anxiously for something.

It was quite a sight to see Su Mengqing putting on makeup in the middle of the day.

He started laughing foolishly again, looking at himself in a mirror.

Her eyebrows, like two wisps of smoke, seemed to be furrowed yet not furrowed; her eyes, like dewdrops, seemed to want to speak but remained silent.

Her fingertips twisted the sash of her clothes, sometimes biting her lip, sometimes smiling faintly.

Two rosy clouds had already appeared on her cheeks, three times more vibrant than the color of rouge.

Occasionally, I would hear my phone vibrate, and I would hurriedly pick it up to look at it. But when I saw that it was an advertisement, I would feel disappointed and twirl a strand of hair around my chest.

"What the hell."

Zhiruo and the others were watching from a short distance away.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it peeping, because they were openly peeping, and Su Mengqing didn't notice at all.

"Could Junior Sister Mengqing have really lost her soul?"

"Maybe, but I've never seen a woman from Emei like this before."

"Yes, I feel like my junior sister is completely dumbfounded."

Let's observe first.

When it was time for lunch.

The group followed Su Mengqing furtively.

She rested her chin on her hand, swishing the tips of her chopsticks around in the bowl, ignoring the rice grains scattered across half the table.

He held the teacup filled with spiritual dew in his hands, but didn't drink a drop even as it grew cold.

Suddenly, she saw her phone flashing and panicked, knocking over her plate. She didn't bother to clean it up and just pressed a handkerchief to her pounding heart.

Upon realizing that the message was from Senior Sister Minjun, she deflated and slumped onto the embroidered stool.

"hiss?"

The onlookers who continued to spy exchanged suspicious glances.

"but."

After testing the waters, Ding Minjun put away her phone and said with certainty:

"What is certain is that Junior Sister Mengqing is probably waiting for news from someone."

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have been so excited when I saw the message."

"Clearly, the message she wanted to receive wasn't one we sent."

Everyone looked at each other.

Send Zhiruo, who usually has the best relationship with Su Mengqing, to sound her out.

Zhi Ruo took small steps and came up behind Su Mengqing, who still didn't notice her at all.

However, Zhiruo's eyes were always sharp, and she instantly noticed the tiger head pendant on the other person's wrist. Leaning against the door frame, she smiled and said:

"Good heavens, Junior Sister Su! She's been acting like she's been bewitched these past few days. Could it be..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mengqing stamped her foot in frustration:

"Senior sister, don't talk nonsense! I... I was just studying the newly acquired 'Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter' and got a little carried away!"

As he spoke, he hid the pendant from his sleeve behind his back.

Zhiruo didn't think much of it.

She was just puzzled; she had only wanted to ask Su Mengqing if she was addicted to online shopping, but she didn't expect the other party to react so strongly.
After all, many women in Emei now like to buy things on Douyin's shared bike platform.

Especially in Yiwu City in Canglan Domain, the trinkets sold there are both cheap and beautiful.

Could it be that Junior Sister Mengqing is addicted to online shopping and has even overspent by taking out online loans?

This is a guess by the disciples of Emei.

But something still felt off, because Su Mengqing didn't seem to owe money.

Who can be in debt and still be smiling like an idiot every day?

In the dead of night, Su Mengqing tossed and turned, unable to sleep, clutching the tiger head ornament.

Suddenly, he took out his phone again and listened to the voice message sent by Pingyang over and over again.

I heard the message, "I'll send you some freshly grown fruit from the mountains tomorrow."

Such a vibrant voice made her want to bury her face in the embroidered pillow, her little feet kicking gently on the couch.

He thought to himself:
"How did he know I like sweets? This thoughtfulness is far better than those male cultivators who talk about cultivating the Tao all the time."

Suddenly, I became alert again:

"Pah! What kind of bewitching am I under?"

wrong!

On the evening of the fourth day.

The female disciples of the Emei Sect gathered together, each with a stern look in their eyes.

Junior Sister Mengqing must have been seduced by a man!
In other words, they have never experienced romantic love and do not know what a girl in puberty would do.

Otherwise, given Su Mengqing's undisguised attitude, they should have seen through her long ago!
How did they find out?

Because on this day, Su Mengqing started by openly and secretly asking her senior sisters what male cultivators liked.
But the Emei Sect cultivates a path of detachment from worldly desires.

How does my senior sister know what men like?
Not only that.

She also asked what kind of clothes a woman should wear if she were meeting someone she met online for the first time.
Is it slightly revealing?

Or perhaps a more conservative approach.

What about style and makeup?

Cute and well-behaved?
Or is it quirky and mischievous?

This includes what to say and what to do after meeting.

Is it appropriate for the other person to want to hold hands?
With the date fast approaching, Su Mengqing couldn't help but start asking all sorts of questions.

Since it was her first time, she was nervous and inevitably sought help from her fellow disciples.

This question.

Even the most clueless female disciple of Emei could see through it.

"Junior sister, are you going to meet a male online friend?"

I feel that way.

"Definitely! She even asked men what kind of gifts they like!"

"Is my junior sister going to be deceived by a man?"

"I don't know, but as her senior, I feel it's our duty to secretly follow her and see what's going on. We can't just stand by and watch her jump into the fire."

"Should we report this to our sect?"

"Of course not! If the nun finds out, Mengqing will be ruined!"

"Yes, that's true. And just meeting someone you met online, even if it's a male online friend, doesn't necessarily mean you've developed feelings for him."

And that's when.

The Emei nun, with a dark expression, had somehow appeared behind the group of female disciples.

"Heh, what are you talking about? I think I heard you hear a man?"
