Chapter 1083 What are you doing here?
The person before him was still the same person from before, but their past was no longer in his heart.
No matter how clearly Song Chunxue understood, at this moment, she couldn't remain calm and composed.
She couldn't bring herself to be rational and keep a distance from him, saying things that would upset her.
He could no longer call her Ah Xue as naturally as before.
The title that once embarrassed her now puts Xie Zheng in a difficult position.
Song Chunxue took a step back, looking down at his black boots. "I'm not feeling well. I want to eat something and rest for a while. I'll be going now."
"Junior brother," Lord Zhao tried to stop him.
"Senior brothers, you guys go ahead. I want to be alone for a while. I sweated a bit and feel a little uncomfortable." Song Chunxue turned and walked out, wanting to find a place to wash up.
For two hours, her body was soaked in sweat.
This feeling of physical and mental exhaustion made her want to find a quiet place to be alone for a while.
"Master Song, don't rush off. There's a hot spring halfway up the mountain with plenty of pools. Go soak in it and relax. We can discuss this further later. Please don't get angry."
Master Fenglei wanted to say something, but Song Chunxue stopped him with a look.
He wisely lowered his head and shut his mouth, intending to go to the foot of the mountain to find a pool to soak in. This woman was too fierce; he felt the grime on the back of his neck being softened by her sweat.

Song Chunxue arrived at the hot spring pool on the mountain and saw the clean spring water and the scented soap prepared by the pool.
She took out the tea stove from her storage ring, feeling that she didn't need to drink two cups of tea to dispel her unease at this moment.
She was starving after fighting for so long.
If it weren't for the discomfort of her empty stomach, she would have liked to fall asleep right there in the water.
But when people are hungry, they need to eat something to stop overthinking.
You'll sleep better after you've eaten and drunk your fill.
And so, she took out the fried buckwheat rings stored in her storage ring and ate two with relish.
The tea made with roasted dates, honey, and goji berries, sweet with a hint of bitterness, lessened much of the sadness in her heart.
She lay by the pool, soaking in the hot spring while drinking tea and eating, and surprisingly, she had a kind of calmness that came after a good cry.
"Ah." She was so full and wanted to take a nap.
That cowardly Taoist Master Feng Lei certainly knows how to enjoy life! Such a comfortable hot spring, yet he's raised such a mad dog-like disciple. What a waste of such a wonderful place.
Before she fell into a deep sleep, she cursed the four abnormal master and disciples in her heart.
Tap tap~
Suddenly, she was awakened by a slight noise.
She stood up from the water wearing only a thin shirt and went inside to change her clothes.
Seeing the light green outfit made her feel uneasy. Suddenly finding the color jarring, she chose a moon-white long gown instead.
These were clothes she had never worn before; she always felt they wouldn't stay dirty easily and weren't really suitable for her.
At her age, she should wear dignified and composed clothing to appear elegant and authoritative in front of her disciples.
But today, she felt that this clean color suited her very well.
The incident has already happened, and she needs some time to clear her head to avoid taking any rash actions.
She wanted her mind to be that color—ethereal, drifting, and sluggish.
There seemed to be some slight movement outside the door; it was probably someone worried about her and checking to see if she was inside.
"Cough cough cough..."
She was about to make a sound when she suddenly realized that her nose was a little stuffy and her body felt slightly hot.
Could it be that he caught a cold from sleeping in the water?
Well, when people don't want to use their brains, getting sick can be considered a kind of cleansing process.
I remember when I was a child, if I was very sick, I would lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) and suddenly feel that my mind was very clear, as if it had been washed by water, and I felt one with the world.
She wasn't in a hurry to regulate her breathing. So what if she was sick? It had been many years since she had felt so weak and helpless, experiencing alternating sensations of cold and heat.
After she tidied her clothes, she walked out of the small courtyard enclosed by the hot spring, her feet stepping on the pine planks, thinking that she liked this place.
He's not a great person, but he has good taste.
She was particularly fond of the openwork wooden windows surrounding the hot spring.
If one lived here alone, experiencing sunshine, rain, snow, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, isolated from the world and free from worries, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
However, she already had someone she was about to become her Daoist partner, and she was no longer used to being alone.
Even though she likes to be alone, there was something in her heart that was no longer there. It had left her and no longer belonged to her. Whenever she thought about this, she felt sad.
"Creak~"
She turned to look at the corner where the noise was coming from, wondering if it was Xie Zheng.
If he came, she would reluctantly forgive his distant gaze.
"Why is it you?"
Upon seeing the woman in front of her, Song Chunxue's gaze sharpened slightly. "What are you doing here?"
If I'm not mistaken, the woman in front of me is the female cultivator who has been thinking about Xie Zheng for many years.
Song Chunxue had to admit that this female cultivator was younger and more spirited than herself, with a smooth and flawless face, three-dimensional features, and distinct angles.
She is a female Taoist priest who makes people feel at first glance that she is a perfect match for Lord Xie.
The idea had barely formed when Song Chunxue forcibly dispelled it.
So what if she's good enough? Who told her not to take the initiative back then? Why did she only come out when he was already entangled with other people?
