Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Qiantang City, old residential area —

Lou Guanxue lay on the table, her body covered in bruises, red but not bleeding.

Those scars only accentuated her jade-like bones and icy skin, as white as a snow lotus.

Qin Zijun was cleaning her wounds.

Lou Guanxue's clear, fairy-like face suddenly flushed with an unnatural blush, and she gasped.

She made a painful sound, and suddenly felt a tickling sensation in her nose.

Sword Fairy couldn't help but open her eyes, and a long, fluffy tail flashed before her.

Devon's curly-haired cat, Hua Hua, walked to the corner of the table in front of Lou Guanxue, who was kneeling on the ground, and rubbed its fur against the corner of the table.

When it saw Lou Guanxue looking over, it turned its head and meowed twice at her.

For some reason, Lou Guanxue saw a look of curiosity in the cat's eyes.

This made Lou Guanxue feel a little embarrassed.

Oh no, I was punished by my master. I thought no one saw it, but now the cat has seen me.

The cat that began its spiritual practice did not yet possess intelligence, but it had already developed spirituality.

The Sword Fairy closed her beautiful eyes, took a deep breath, and turned her head away.

Since we've already seen it, let's just let it go; it's not a big deal anyway.

She acted like an ostrich, pretending not to care.

A hand suddenly grabbed Lou Guanxue's arm.

The fairy's delicate body was pulled up.

Qin Zijun straightened her slightly wrinkled long dress and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Lou Guanxue nodded, and said shyly, "It hurts."

"However, if a disciple makes a mistake, he or she should be punished, and even if it is out of love for the disciple, the disciple will endure it."

"Master, please don't worry about my feelings. If the punishment isn't severe enough, I'm afraid I'll repeat the mistake."

Qin Zijun's expression was strange.

I think you're doing it on purpose.

After all, even if Qin Zijun were to punish a disciple who had made a mistake, she would not actually harm the disciple's body.

Therefore, this punishment has its limits.

This limit falls precisely in Lou Guanxue's good zone.

You're happy, but I'm going to be a pervert.

Qin Zijun shook her head and casually tossed the ring onto the table.

Seeing Qin Zijun's expression, Lou Guanxue was terrified. Her face turned deathly pale, and she said in a panic, "Master, you...you don't hate your disciple, do you?"

She deliberately made mistakes to get her master to punish her.

But if I were to truly disappoint or disgust my master in this way, it would be putting the cart before the horse, and Lou Guanxue would burst into tears.

Qin Zijun opened his mouth, glanced at Lou Guanxue a few times with amusement, and chuckled, "Guanxue, there's no need for that."

"Master, I... had a lot of fun too."

Lou Guanxue's face immediately flushed with a blush of joy.

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to go to sleep and rest."

Qin Zijun took out her phone and glanced at it; it was already midnight.

He's now a good kid who goes to bed early and gets up early, with a regular schedule.

Lou Guanxue was "injured" and walked with a limp, taking small, quick steps, afraid that taking big steps would worsen her "injury".

She glanced at the single bed and whispered, "Master, I am injured and cannot sit down to meditate and cultivate today."

"Could I, your disciple, sleep with you, Master?"

Qin Zijun gave her a deep look.

With Lou Guanxue feeling uneasy, Qin Zijun lay down on the bed in her pajamas and said, "Don't touch me."

Lou Guanxue was pleasantly surprised and softly said, "Yes."

She carefully climbed into bed and lay down next to Qin Zijun.

Although the two had spent the whole day at Disneyland, at their level, they were spotless, without a trace of dirt on them, and didn't need to wash up.

They lay side by side on the small single bed, the lights were off, and only a little moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains.

The room was dark, but that couldn't stop Lou Guanxue's night vision, which was as bright as day even in darkness.

She could hear Qin Zijun's breathing gradually calming down and feel the warmth transmitted through their clothes as their arms touched.

The Sword Fairy secretly moved closer to Qin Zijun, tentatively and timidly taking his arm.

Seeing that Qin Zijun did not react, Lou Guanxue became bolder.

She slowly rested her head on Qin Zijun's shoulder, closed her eyes, and rubbed her nose against Qin Zijun's face like a cat.

Smelling that familiar scent, Lou Guanxue tried to calm her breathing and gradually drifted off to sleep in that favorite aroma.

Once you reach the Inner Alchemy Realm, your need for sleep becomes extremely low.

Once they reached the outer realm, they would not sleep or rest for a long time, only needing to meditate occasionally to recover their energy.

But at this moment, Lou Guanxue let himself fall into a deep sleep, and even abandoned all vigilance.

She knew that in front of her master, she didn't need to be wary of anyone or anything.

She can truly fall asleep, just like she did when she was a child.

That was the sense of security that Lou Guanxue was chasing, a sense of security that only her master could provide.

Even breathing and warm breaths teased my ears.

Qin Zijun, who was not asleep, glanced sideways at that stunningly beautiful face, as beautiful as a fairy.

He didn't say anything, but instead wrapped his arms around Lou Guanxue's slender and soft waist.

In his previous life in the Primordial Great Luo Heaven, he knew that his disciple had feelings for him that went beyond those between master and disciple.

However, at that time, Qin Zijun was determined to become an immortal on her own.

He was always too aloof, wearing a mask and never revealing a trace of his emotions or joys and sorrows.

At that time, Lou Guanxue could only suppress the deepest emotions in her heart, and only occasionally would she reveal a little of them.

But things are different now.

Both of them were reincarnated and returned.

Qin Zijun no longer always wears a mask like she did back then.

He is mostly calm and indifferent, but he also lets his emotions show.

Lou Guanxue became bolder and dared to test his master.

Qin Zijun has no moral fastidiousness.

He has lived for millions of years. What hasn't he seen? You could even say what hasn't he done?

He just really enjoys playing this little game with his apprentice.

Since Guanxue likes it, he will play along with her.

In the darkness, Qin Zijun smiled softly and slowly closed her eyes.

……

magic city,

Jiang Churou was awakened by the knocking on the door.

"Chu Rou, you're still not up? Why are you up so late today?"

My mother's voice came from outside the door, urging me on while also carrying an undisguised joy.

Jiang Churou picked up her phone from beside her pillow and glanced at it; it was already past ten o'clock.

Even when she wasn't in school and was resting at home, she rarely got up this late.

"I had some trouble sleeping last night and didn't sleep well."

Jiang Churou called out to the outside.

After returning home last night, Jiang Churou was exhausted and sleepy, but she was also very excited to learn about the existence of cultivators.

The conflicting emotions made her feel terrible all night.

I'm awake now, but my head is still throbbing.

"Chu Rou, hurry up and wash up, Mom has something to tell you."

Jiang Churou struggled to her feet and went to the washroom to wash up.

Back in the living room, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa, sending various text messages and making phone calls to many people; she looked very busy.

After Jiang Churou sat down, her mother suddenly said, "Your older sister is dead."

Jiang Churou, who was drinking water, froze. She asked nervously, "How did he die?"

Jiang's mother snorted and said, "I don't know. The surveillance footage looks like he ran to the rooftop to commit suicide. Who knows? Anyway, it's good that he died!"

By the end, Jiang's mother's voice was filled with resentment.

In the past, Jiang Churou would have thought her mother was too extreme.

But when she thought that her sister not only wanted to kill her, but also her mother, Jiang Churou felt that her mother's resentment was not unfounded.

"I was forced by Jiang Ran to go up to the rooftop, and that was captured on surveillance footage."

"The body has been found, I'll probably be questioned by the police, and they'll come to my door."

But nothing happened, as if...it had nothing to do with me.

Jiang Churou's heart was pounding, knowing that it was all because of Brother Qin and Sister Lou.

As expected, these cultivators wield immense power in the mortal realm!

Jiang Churou felt this was perfectly reasonable.

She's not a female-oriented author; she commands a million soldiers and still insists on the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

She knew all too well that the underlying rule of a regime was that whoever had the strongest army and the most powerful horses was king.

When all power is gathered in one person, one will transcend everything!

"Hmph, now that your sister is dead, our family won't have to pay money every month to support this bloodsucker anymore, and we won't have to worry about her taking away what belongs to you."

"And that bitch, we don't even know where she is now. By the time she comes back, it'll be too late. Your dad won't have to worry about her anymore."

Jiang's mother snorted coldly, "This is what they call reaping what you sow!"

The "cheap woman" her mother was referring to was Jiang Ran's mother.

With Jiang Ran dead, there's no way to verify anything, and there's no need to worry about her causing trouble again.

That woman spends money extravagantly and probably doesn't have a penny in savings. Once the mortgage is cut off, it's hard to go from a life of luxury to one of frugality, and that woman's fate probably won't be much better.

Having gone through what happened yesterday, Jiang Churou has undergone a tremendous change. She no longer hesitates when faced with such matters and can remain calm.

Jiang Churou breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, would the parents not need to get a divorce?

This family should be able to stay together...

At this time,

Jiang Churou's phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

Her heart skipped a beat. She glanced at her mother, then went back to her bedroom to answer the phone.

"Feed?"

"Excuse me, are you Jiang Churou?"

"right."

Hearing the gentle female voice on the other end of the phone, Jiang Churou gripped her phone tightly, feeling a surge of tension.

"Hello Ms. Jiang, please come to the Shanghai Center Building at 3 PM this afternoon. I need to tell you about yesterday's events and some other necessary matters."

Jiang Churou's heart was pounding. She suppressed her excitement and said forcefully, "I understand. I will definitely arrive on time."

Jiang Churou guessed that this must be the government's department in charge of managing supernatural powers.

I'm finally about to encounter those mysteries!

……

At 3 p.m., Jiang Churou arrived at the Shanghai Central Building on time.

Upon arriving at the building lobby, Jiang Churou dialed the phone number she had used that morning.

A short while later, a woman dressed casually, who appeared to be in her early thirties, stepped off the elevator and approached Jiang Churou.

"Hello, this is Jin Chen, who called you this morning."

"Hello, Ms. Jin."

Jiang Churou quickly greeted them.

The two took a special elevator, and Jin Chen said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The Management Bureau is on a special floor and does not receive any visitors."

"You're not from the Management Bureau, so I have to come down and pick you up."

Administration Bureau?

Are these the names of government departments?

Led by Jin Chen, Jiang Churou nervously followed behind her. After arriving at the floor, they entered an office building that resembled a company.

This place occupies a huge area; the entire floor belongs to the management bureau and covers more than 2,000 square meters.

Jin Chen led Jiang Churou to the innermost office. Jiang Churou noticed that many people were looking at her and there were whispers among them.

"Who is that pretty girl? Is she a newcomer? Why is it Senior Sister Jin who personally took her to see the director?"

"Didn't you know? I heard that the Sword Immortal specifically instructed our department to explain cultivation to this girl."

"A sword immortal? That great supernatural being from the Primordial Great Luo Sect?"

"Who else could it be but that fairy?"

"Holy crap, this girl has actually caught the eye of the Sword Immortal. She's destined for great things!"

"She's so beautiful, Zhang Ge. You're quite handsome too, why don't you try pursuing her?"

"Come on, they wouldn't even look at me."

"..."

Listening to the whispers around her, Jiang Churou pursed her lips and came to a conclusion.

Sister Lou has a very high status and is called a sword immortal or a fairy by everyone.

Jiang Churou felt that this really matched her impression of Sister Lou.

dong dong dong-

"Please come in."

"Director Lu, I've brought the person."

In the office sat a man in his thirties.

The man had a kind expression, but his gaze towards Jiang Churou held a mixture of scrutiny and expectation.

Perhaps this Miss Jiang will soon become my junior sister.

To receive personal instructions from her master, this Miss Jiang is truly extraordinary.

He felt a pang of envy and said to Jin Chen, "Junior Sister Jin, leave the explanation to Jiang Churou to me. You can go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, Director Lu."

Jin Chen nodded to Jiang Churou and left.

"Sit down, don't be nervous."

Director Lu smiled and gestured for Jiang Churou to sit down. He said gently, "Jiang Churou, I know you are very curious and have many questions."

"The reason I called you here today is to answer these questions for you."

"You are a top student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There are some things that are easier to say than me saying them; you can read the materials more quickly."

"Take a close look at these."

Jiang Churou took the materials handed to her by Director Lu and began to read them carefully.

It was a document introducing matters related to cultivators, the revival of spiritual energy, and reincarnation.

In addition, there is an important record among them.

That was Lou Guanxue's own biography, written by himself!

Jiang Churou was deeply moved upon reading the biography.

She finally learned the true identity of Sister Lou.

But what shocked her the most was the biography's account of Sister Lou's master.

The Primordial Great Luo Heaven, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi!

I remember Sister Lou calling Brother Qin "Master".

Could this terrifying yet awe-inspiring figure be Shishi's brother?
