Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal
Page 316
But hesitation always takes time, and before she could make up her mind, the door was slowly pushed open by a slender hand.
The gray-white wooden door, studded with pale gold nails, opened, and in Xi Heng's view, the figure of the pale-gold woman whose celestial music had always lingered in his heart reappeared.
"Long time no see." The other person tilted their head and smiled.
"Only two or three days."
Xi Heng barely managed to maintain a calm demeanor, preventing the strange memories and thoughts in his heart from affecting his expression and attitude.
"But after just two or three days apart, it feels as if two or three years have passed." The other person teased me with gentle words, and I didn't know if they were telling the truth or not.
"The days with you are completely different from the days without you. I wonder if it's because of the battle formation of the two bodies before, but I feel like I can't live without your company."
She bluntly uttered these words, which sounded like something out of a love letter: "Otherwise, I would be restless and each day would feel like a year."
"real or fake?"
Why should I lie?
The girl stared at the other person closely, instinctively thinking it was obviously fake.
However, the cultivator's perception revealed that the other party had not lied at all.
Her spiritual sword heart has never been very effective in this regard.
Mingming could see the enemy's moves and actions in the blink of an eye when fighting, and even make accurate predictions like future vision, and determine how to counter the moves in the next instant.
That ability to see right through the thoughts of the person in front of you with just a glance always fails when it comes to matters of the heart.
This is not due to the difference in cultivation level—neither when facing Yin Wanluan, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, nor Chen Fenghuo, who was only in the mid-Qi Refining stage, did they have a noticeable difference in their perception.
However, Xi Heng had at least had a few romantic relationships, so he could vaguely guess what was going on.
At least one aspect is good, and another aspect is quite bad.
In short, the first step is to guide the discussion towards a peaceful direction.
“Then I believe you.” Xi Heng said naturally.
"And you, have you thought of me these past few days?" Yin Wanluan slowly approached.
"We've been practicing together for so long before, who else could I be thinking about? We went too far last time, so we have to shorten the time next time." The white-haired girl pouted and continued, "We agreed on five days before, but they forcibly moved it to seven days, and this time they went even further and dragged it out to ten days."
"Didn't we discuss this matter before? It wasn't ten days, but nine."
Yin Wanluan held up a finger and shook it: "I remember the dual cultivation postures for every single hour of the 108 hours clearly, and I have never made a mistake in counting them."
"There's no need to keep track of this, is there?" Xi Heng crossed his arms over his chest without encountering any resistance, snorted coldly, and tried to take control of the conversation: "In short, don't deliberately add extra hours in the future."
"Otherwise what?" Yin Wanluan seemed to chuckle mischievously, or perhaps he was simply asking with a naive mindset.
She really wanted to say that if something like this happened again, she would never practice backgammon with him again.
But the words remained stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered.
After all, dual cultivation would bring her a lot of pleasure and cultivation. She wouldn't feel uncomfortable in the first half of the time, but she would feel a bit tormented in the last few days when she was completely overwhelmed by the other party due to exhaustion.
But at the same time, a strange sense of pleasure that I have never experienced before will also emerge.
Her body resisted that feeling of not moving.
In short, for all these reasons, Xi Heng now finds it difficult to refuse the other party's invitation.
He could only manage to utter a few seemingly meaningless threats: "As a martial arts cultivator, having reached the same late Foundation Establishment stage, I will undoubtedly have more energy. If you continue to act recklessly, I will not let you off the hook in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yin Wanluan simply covered her mouth and chuckled.
Then, with a look full of amusement:
"Okay, I'll behave myself."
He spoke slowly, as if the words were profound.
Xi Heng felt that his threats had failed to materialize.
Yin Wanluan's temperament also underwent significant changes during the years he spent with her.
Her Highness, the Holy Maiden of the Pure Fire Cult, who was originally pure and holy and yearned for freedom, now has a more discerning and detached nature.
Perhaps it's a cunning and manipulative nature? Or some similar trait.
The girl sighed, "You weren't like this before."
Yin Wanluan gently shook her head: "You made me understand more about the world, and any changes that have occurred are probably related to you."
“I don’t remember ever teaching you these things…” Xi Heng retorted.
The idea of dual cultivation was entirely initiated by the other party.
Yin Wanluan gave a faint, inexplicable smile, but didn't say anything more.
She had already reached Xi Heng's side, her gaze not lingering for long, but turning back.
There was also a faint sound of footsteps from behind.
The white-haired girl then came to her senses and turned around.
Then Chen Fenghuo came out of the hall and bowed slightly as a greeting: "Your Highness, Holy Maiden".
"It's been a long time since we last met." Yin Wanluan nodded gently, her expression returning to the kind and gentle demeanor she had when she first met Xi Heng.
In the blink of an eye, her saintly aura reappeared.
"How have you been living with Xi Heng?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Chen Fenghuo gave a brief reply, then hesitated for a moment before deliberately adding, "I've really enjoyed these past few days."
The word 'like' was what she said to Xi Heng.
“Then I am relieved. It was the right decision to recommend you to your fellow cultivator from your hometown.” Yin Wanluan said sincerely.
“I get along very well with Miss Xi Heng, Your Highness need not worry.” Chen Fenghuo said calmly.
As they conversed, Xi Heng, one of the main characters, stood in the middle, looking left and right.
The atmosphere right now... seems a bit off?
But upon closer inspection, one cannot detect anything unusual.
Tilting his head, he finally decided to clear his mind and interjected:
"Anyway... let's go to the hall for a meal first."
If we keep exchanging pleasantries in the courtyard, the food will get cold.
“Okay.” Yin Wanluan smiled.
"Please, Your Highness." Another girl with darker hair turned around and led the way.
During the short distance of fifty or sixty meters, as the three walked slowly, the saintess began to chat again:
"In Hellfire, one is rarely served food."
"Your Highness rarely eats?"
"Since I began cultivating in my childhood, I've had very few opportunities to do so. Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage and occasionally venturing into the outside world have I been able to taste some real food," Yin Wanluan recalled.
“There are few delicacies in the Spirit Locking Array. The cultivators’ handling of ingredients and use of seasonings are not even as good as those of ordinary cooks…and most of them are bland in taste, and they always feel tasteless after a while.”
Chen Fenghuo nodded and said:
"Today's meal is Eight Treasure Fragrant Fish, a famous dish from our hometown. We've prepared plenty of seasonings; we hope Your Highness will be satisfied."
"I am already satisfied to see that you two have a friendly relationship," Yin Wanluan said, appearing very agreeable.
Upon hearing this, Xi Heng asked again, "Did you come here just to inquire about the situation in the courtyard?"
"The main concern is how you are doing. After all, you were so weak when you left a few days ago, which is bound to cause concern."
"Who is it that makes you so weak?" the girl asked irritably.
Chen Fenghuo, who was leading the way, couldn't quite understand what the two were saying.
He wanted to know, but ultimately refrained from asking due to the difference in their social status.
“That’s precisely why I’m worried,” Yin Wanluan said naturally.
Xi Heng wanted to say more, but seeing Chen Fenghuo still leading the way, he simply said, "In short, I'm fine now."
Then, he gestured to his side to indicate a pause, thus changing the subject.
"Also, I have another important matter to discuss here." After chatting for so long, Yin Wanluan finally spoke:
"Some time ago, I promised to assign you a high position after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage. After studying it, I found that the only suitable position is the Deputy Dharma Protector of the Dharma Hall. Would you accept it?"
“Sure, sure.” Xi Heng didn’t care about any of that.
After all, according to the plan, pushing her up was just to gain some influence, and then find a time to fake her death and frame the Seven Sect Alliance to trigger a war.
"To obtain this position, there are some prerequisites. One must have entered the Dharma Protector Hall before the Foundation Establishment stage and have sufficient merits."
"So you mean I need to complete some tasks and accumulate merits?"
"I have already assigned you to the Guardian Hall. As for the mission, I have already sent people to deal with several evil cultivators. After that, you can simply bring the evil cultivators and the evidence of their crimes to the Guardian Hall to claim your reward." Yin Wanluan said quite naturally and fluently.
So I didn't have to do anything...
Xi Heng nodded, and then the other party handed him a square letter.
"This document contains the location and some information about those evil cultivators. You can take it directly upon arrival."
The girl readily accepted it and placed it in her storage bag without leaving a trace.
This serious topic was easily concluded, as if nothing special had happened.
Only Chen Fenghuo, who had already stepped into the hall, hesitated and asked in a low voice:
"Is it really okay for me to hear about something like this?"
"It's alright." The light blonde girl behind her waved her hand: "You're one of us too."
"Yeah?"
"Mhm." Xi Heng nodded.
After a year of getting along, Chen Fenghuo had gradually shifted to her and Yin Wanluan's camp.
Even if they haven't verbally agreed, they've already done so in practice.
"..." Chen Fenghuo remained silent, but walked to the table where many plates were laid out, gestured for the two girls to sit down, and moved the tableware around.
Yin Wanluan picked up her chopsticks and brought the meat to her lips.
The rich sauce, along with the aroma of scallions, overwhelms the taste buds.
There was also a sweet aroma of some kind of fruit in it, which made her nod unconsciously and say gently, "Your skills are quite good."
"It's just a small hobby outside of cultivation," Chen Fenghuo replied modestly.
"I envy Xi Heng, who gets to enjoy such delicious food and beautiful women every day."
"It's not every day, only once every ten days or so..." Chen Fenghuo wanted to explain, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.
As Yin Wanluan sipped her meat, her gaze shifted to the white-haired girl who was eating silently and the exceptionally polite Chen Fenghuo.
Suddenly, he asked:
"Speaking of which, have you ever practiced dual cultivation?"
Xi Heng paused with his bamboo chopsticks, the tender fish meat hovering in mid-air for almost two seconds.
Chen Fenghuo asked in confusion, "Dual cultivation?"
"It seems not." Yin Wanluan chuckled and then asked, "Still don't know the method of dual cultivation?"
"I often see these kinds of terms in cultivation books, but none of them really explain them." The other person shook his head.
"Well, the so-called dual cultivation method is a rather interesting cultivation technique..." Yin Wanluan suddenly began to explain.
……
Volume 1: Chapter 216 (Chapter 207), One Family, One Plan
At lunchtime, three girls sat around a table in the hall.
Just as Xi Heng was focusing his attention on the food on the table, picking up some lightly cooked dishes and fragrant fish and meat and sipping them in a small bowl, a gentle and elegant voice sounded beside him.
The soft sounds complemented the near-perfect meal before them.
