Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

Before he could finish the last few words, Lu Cheng was already dumbfounded.

I was scared.

He knew that most of these seemingly aloof fairies could be incredibly sweet when they wanted to be, but could they really be this proactive?

We've only met twice, and you're already inviting me to marry into your family? So proactive!

"who I am?"

"Where am I?"

"What should I say?"

"What should I do?"

"By the way, what was the last thing she said? Could it be... could it be that she wanted to take me under her wing as a male concubine? Damn it, do you think I, Lu Cheng, am that kind of person?"

"Or are you trying to invite me to participate in a baby-making campaign to contribute to Jingnan's birth rate?"

"Or perhaps..."

The CPU is about to explode.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel happy or apprehensive. Should he agree? Would agreeing so easily make him seem too shallow?

How should I ask for a bride price? If it's just about sex, should I charge by the number of times or by the time?

An eighth-realm expert! This is an eighth-realm expert, a deity who has just begun to undergo tribulation. Even if she were to casually discard any scraps, it would be enough for me to live a life without having to work hard. If I could get some benefits from her, would it be possible to cure Han Guang's health in the future?

"...Would you be willing to become my fellow disciple, my junior brother, and protect Jingnan together?"

"I do! Wait a minute."

Raise your hand and make a "pause" gesture.

His overloaded brain regained its composure and began to function again. Looking at Ji Xiaoxiao's expectant eyes, he finally understood why this fairy favored him so much.

So, after all this time, she just wanted to take him as a disciple? With this posture, he thought this fairy was going to pounce on him and force herself on him, but he wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief.

While being a gigolo may be a shortcut, ultimately you still have to rely on your own efforts.

Look, I've gotten to where I am today by relying on myself, step by step. (Han Guang: ?)

"You don't want to?"

His voice sounded a little nervous.

Ji Xiaoxiao doesn't have many complicated thoughts; rather, she simplifies everything and expresses her needs in the most straightforward way.

For example, regarding Lu Cheng, after taking a liking to you, he first takes the initiative to show goodwill, then sends his subordinates to take care of you, invites you to his residence, then gives you guidance, takes you upstairs to see the city where you have lived for more than ten years, and finally invites you to join the sect.

There was nothing wrong with this combo. If there was anything she didn't do well, it was that when they first met, she just patted her butt and left after killing those demons. However, at that time, she was too badly injured from forcibly breaking through the barrier, and she had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat that she couldn't spit out.

My fingernails kept scratching at the wooden fence, the more I scratched, the harder I scratched, and I was very nervous.

With her current level of skill, she is already impervious to swords and spears, and water and fire. Her fingernails, like wood planes, scratched layer after layer on the wooden fence. Could it be that she wasn't sincere enough? Or that she hadn't taken good enough care of her?

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. It would be my honor to become your disciple... How many kowtows should I perform?"

That's a genuine statement.

Lu Cheng is the kind of person who will repay kindness tenfold, but he will also remember anyone who deliberately makes things difficult for him. Even if he is unable to retaliate on the spot, he will repay them tenfold in the future.

Although the two hadn't known each other for long, he could feel the fairy's sincerity.

"Yes, that's good."

Achoo! Achoo!

In the distance, at Lu Cheng's home, Han Guang, curled up in his blankets drinking brown sugar water, was looking at the Liu Bei text in his hand, his bare little feet swinging back and forth, when suddenly he sneezed twice without warning.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like there's something on my head?"

She casually untied the green hair ribbon from her head and tossed it aside, continuing to read. Whether by coincidence or not, she happened to come across the chapter "Ximen Qing Meets Jinlian Under the Curtain, Wang Po Greedily Offers Bribes and Speaks of Romance," which she found quite fascinating.

At the top of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, two people stared at each other.

There was no passionate scene as I had imagined, nor the solemnity of burning incense to worship ancestors or serving tea and water.

The two sat facing each other at the tea table, neither speaking, creating an awkward atmosphere. For a moment, neither knew how to start a conversation. They lifted a corner of their veils and silently drank their tea.

After finishing the drink, they poured another, repeating the cycle endlessly, until finally Lu Cheng broke the silence first.

"Fairy Ji?"

"Just call me Senior Sister. You are now a disciple of the Sword Sect."

"Then, Senior Sister Ji?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Lu."

"..."

A large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) development site.

Even someone as eloquent as Lu Cheng was rendered speechless by those words and could only manage a few uttered words.

"Senior Sister, may I ask why, after you accepted me as your disciple, I was called your junior brother instead of your apprentice?"

"...Because I've never taken on any disciples before, I have no experience, but I've seen our senior brother teach us junior brothers and sisters, so I know a little bit about it."

When the conversation turned to topics she was good at, Ji Xiaoxiao was noticeably more relaxed than before and took the initiative to explain.

"The Sword Sect suffered a great calamity many years ago. When I became a disciple, I only had time to see my master once. I hadn't even learned how to cultivate yet when my master passed away. As a result, we new disciples were all raised by our senior brother."

"Our senior brother taught us cultivation and swordsmanship. He was the number one expert in the Sword Sect, and he was not far from the legendary predecessor who founded the Great Yue. It's just a pity that in the end, our senior brother still had some accidents."

"Therefore, we should address each other as brother and sister. This way, we can avoid many tedious apprenticeship rituals. Keep this manual safe and study it carefully when you get back. If you have any questions, you can come to my residence anytime."

She smoothed her hair at her temples, took out a small pouch from her sleeve, and with a flick of her wrist, revealed an antique book, which she placed on the table.

This is a magical artifact called the "Hundred Treasures Pouch," which can be used to store weapons or many personal items.

"I understand. So, senior sister, it's... that... me..."

Someone suddenly started acting awkwardly.

Anyone familiar with Lu Cheng knows that once he adopts this attitude, it means he's about to make exorbitant demands.

"Could the Demon Suppression Division do me a favor regarding cultivation?"

She showed eight teeth, her smile was very sunny and bright.

"That's not a problem. Is it possible that the members of the Demon Suppression Division have wronged you during this period?"

"No, no, of course not. It's just that the more pills the better. I wonder if Senior Sister..."

Unfortunately, Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"Even I can't speak up about this matter. The Demon Suppression Division has its own rules. If I allocate more resources, someone will inevitably lose some cultivation resources. I hope you can understand, Junior Brother."

Seemingly sensing Lu Cheng's disappointment, Ji Xiaoxiao reached out and gently patted the boy's shoulder.

"Alright, if your senior sister obtains anything beneficial to your cultivation while traveling in the future, she will naturally not mistreat you."

His back straightened immediately.

"Oh, right."

As if she had thought of something, Ji Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Junior brother, it would be best to avoid brothels in the future."

"Impossible! I would never go to such a filthy place, Senior Sister. This is a complete lack of trust in my character. Even if I'm handsome, you can't slander me like this..."

"Yesterday I saw you go inside the tower for six hours."

"..."
