"But I'm not going to be the city lord, so it's normal for me to form a Daoist bond with my partner sooner. Besides..."

Si Er leaned close to Si Xu's ear and whispered, "Second Brother, you should know that if you find the right Daoist partner and the right dual cultivation technique, dual cultivation can be twice as effective with half the effort."

"Do you see that my cultivation level has improved a lot compared to before?"

Si Xu: "..."

Si Xu glanced at it a few times but couldn't figure it out.

When Si Er's realm far surpasses his, what can he possibly discern?

The green-haired turtle whispered in Si Xu's ear, "Judging from the level of soul cultivation, Er'er should be about the same as your father now."

“He was born with strong soul power, so now his soul power is stronger than your father’s.”

"As for spiritual cultivation, I can't tell, but it's definitely much, much stronger than yours."

Si Xu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. If dual cultivation had so many benefits, forming a contract ahead of time wouldn't be out of the question.

Si Xu's joy was short-lived, however, as she recalled Yu Beiming's smugness and evasive words in front of her on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, and Si Xu's face darkened again.

"Was your dual cultivation technique given to you by Yu Beiming?"

Si Er nodded: "How did you know, Second Brother?"

Yu Beixuan covered his face; he already had a bad feeling.

"Heh heh..." Si Xu sneered twice, each word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "That damned Yu Lao Er, it's one thing to corrupt his own brother, but why doesn't he spare my brother too?"

"I think those sterilization drugs would have worked very well for him."

Yu Beixuan hurriedly shouted, "Second Brother, stop the poison!"

"Who's your second brother..." Si Xu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but thinking of Si Er, he tried his best to calm himself down. "Okay, from now on I'm your second brother. You can call Yu Beiming 'Second Brother'."

"..."

After thinking it over carefully, Yu Beixuan felt that compared to his second brother being sterilized, calling him "Second Brother" didn't seem so bad.

Si Xu added, "But this sterilization drug..."

Yu Beixuan: "This really won't do!"

Si Xu: "Is it wrong for Yu Lao Er to like men?"

Yu Beixuan shook his head: "Not having children and being able to have children are two different things!"

Furthermore, his second brother probably likes girls; he's pursued girls before. It's just that he likes soup, while the girl preferred dried meat, so they couldn't agree on food and it didn't work out.

Si Er hugged Si Xu and laughed, "Second Brother, what's there to be angry about? Although Second Brother Yu may have impure motives, Xuanxuan and I really benefited."

"And Xuanxuan and I also brought gifts for my second brother."

Si Er took out a large number of jade slips that he and Yu Beixuan had copied: "These are all dual cultivation techniques related to the wood attribute."

"With these, Second Brother won't have to worry about finding a partner in the future, no matter what their type is."

"The dual cultivation techniques over there are quite comprehensive: wood and wood, wood and fire, wood and water, wood and ice..."

"Anyway, we have all the combinations we can think of here."

Si Xu: "..."

He suddenly realized that sometimes it wasn't a good thing for his younger brother to be too considerate.

Si Xu politely declined, saying, "I don't think I need these things."

Si Er: "You never know, let's keep it safe just in case."

Si Xu was quite disdainful, but in the end, she accepted everything, after all, it was her younger brother's kind gesture. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
