Seeing that Xie Chen didn't speak, Qing'er said unhappily, "Why are you ignoring me again?"
Xie Chen remained silent, gazing at the distant mountains and rivers. Qing'er gave a soft snort and said, "Are you finding me annoying?"
Xie Chen gave Qing'er a look, letting her figure it out herself.
Qing'er was very unhappy. She stood up and tried to step on Xie Chen's foot. Xie Chen dodged it, and Qing'er put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You're not allowed to dodge."
Xie Chen felt utterly speechless: "Why can't I dodge?"
Qing'er stared at him, unable to explain herself. Just then, several streaks of light flew past overhead; they were some cultivators. These cultivators were only at the Foundation Establishment stage. They were all in the middle of their journey and hadn't looked down, so they didn't notice the small boat floating on the river, nor did they notice Qing'er and Xie Chen.
"Cultivators? Are they just ordinary mortals who cultivate immortality? This is the first time I've ever seen ordinary mortals cultivate immortality!" Qing'er got very excited when she saw something new. She spread her divine sense and saw the town built by the cultivators. She found it amusing and tugged at Xie Chen's sleeve, saying:
"I want to go to the city where cultivators gather. I want to have fun there."
"Can't you go by yourself?" Xie Chen pulled his sleeve back.
He had just pulled his sleeve back from Qing'er's hand when she grabbed his other sleeve and said coquettishly, "No, no, you have to come with me! I want you to come with me, come with me!"
Qing'er looked at Xie Chen with her big, bright eyes. She was already beautiful and stunning, and her voice was as sweet and melodious as a nightingale's. When she was being coquettish, it was hard to resist her.
Xie Chen had no choice but to go with her.
Qing'er disguised herself as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and Xie Chen disguised himself as a Core Formation cultivator. The two flew towards Songnan City, where human cultivators gathered. Qing'er even imitated the Foundation Establishment cultivators by flying on a sword.
Qi Refining stage cultivators can fly. They can fly without a sword, but because their mana is insufficient, they can't fly for long distances. Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are stronger than Qi Refining stage cultivators, but they also cannot fly for long periods without the aid of magic treasures. Therefore, Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators usually fly on swords. However, when they reach Core Formation stage, their mana is deep enough that they can still fly for extended periods without needing magic treasures.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Qing'er flew on her sword, her long shawl fluttering in the wind like white clouds.
Xie Chen followed behind her, thinking to herself, "Kids really are kids; she wants to learn everything." She had just seen a Qi Refining cultivator who couldn't even control his sword properly, twisting and turning in the sky. She wanted to imitate him, twisting and turning like that, drawing circles all over the sky with her sword, leaving tracks in the clouds.
"Old man, old man, over there, look how cute those little monkeys on the mountain are! Hahahahahaha..."
Azaleas bloomed atop the mountain peaks. Tall pine, cypress, spruce, and banyan trees hung with numerous vines, and on one large banyan tree, several small monkeys were swinging on the vines. Qing'er flew over and scared all the monkeys away.
"Don't run away, don't run away! I won't steal your fruit," Qing'er said with a smile.
She chased after the monkeys, but they were all afraid of her and ignored her. One monkey threw a banana at her. Qing'er caught the banana, flew to Xie Chen, and asked, "What's this?"
She had never seen a banana before.
"banana."
Is it edible?
"able."
Seeing that Qing'er was going to eat the skin too, Xie Chen quickly said, "Peel it off."
"oh."
Qing'er peeled off a piece, took a bite, then said it didn't taste good and threw it away. She grew up in the Sword God Palace, and the only place she frequented was the Phoenix Palace, where she was surrounded by immortals and saw things far from ordinary. In reality, she was only fourteen years old, and there were countless things in this vast universe she had never seen. This was her first time in a small world; before, apart from the Sword God Palace and the Phoenix Palace, she had almost never been there.
Xie Chen looked at her, remembering that he had come to this small world seeking peace and quiet, but now he had none. Although this little girl was naive, she was also a Celestial Emperor. Even if he abandoned her now, she would probably come looking for him again.
Thinking of this, Xie Chen rubbed his temples.
Why does she like to cling to him so much?
A predestined relationship from a past life?
If that's the case, then there are plenty of women who are destined to be with him.
"Xie Chen, Xie Chen, what are you thinking about?" Qing'er flew backwards and asked Xie Chen with a smile. Her green eyes were as beautiful as emeralds.
Xie Chen said, "It's nothing."
Just then, a purple streak appeared in the distance, carrying a young man in the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm. He wore a magnificent purple robe and a white jade crown, and possessed a handsome face with a friendly smile. Upon seeing Xie Chen and Qing'er, he flew towards them.
Xie Chen and Qing'er both stopped, and the young man in purple smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute:
"Greetings, fellow Daoists. My name is Qin Yi, a rogue cultivator from Rongtian Mountain. Are you two heading to Songnan City? May I ask if we may travel together?"
Seeing Xie Chen's icy gaze, Qin Yi immediately said, "I have no other intentions. I just see that you two fellow Daoists are of outstanding character and appearance, and I would like to make your acquaintance."
“Making friends? Great, great! My name is Feng Qing’er, and this old guy’s name is Xie Chen,” Qing’er said with a smile.
Qin Yi was quite surprised to hear Qing'er call Xie Chen "old fellow." For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to address a Core Formation cultivator like that, especially since they were colleagues, suggested a very close relationship. Could they be father and daughter? Wait, their surnames are different. Master and disciple?
Although he was very curious, Qin Yi concealed his suspicions and said with a smile, "Friend Feng, friend Xie."
"Hello, hello, fellow Daoist Qin!" Qing'er said, mimicking Qin Yi's tone as she clasped her hands in a respectful greeting.
As for Xie Chen, his attitude remained cold, but he still gave a slight fist and palm salute.
So the three of them flew towards Songnan City.
"Which sect do you two disciples belong to?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.
"Sword God Palace," Qing'er said with a smile.
Sword God Palace? Qin Yi racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't recall any sect called Sword God Palace in the Mo Nan region. Could they be from elsewhere? Qin Yi was curious, but he didn't want to say, "I've never heard of your sect." He could only smile and ask, "Fellow Daoists, are you locals?"
“No, we’re not locals,” Qing’er said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi thought to himself: They really are two outsiders.
These two looked like they came from a prominent family, their bodies shrouded in spiritual light, and it was unknown how many treasures they carried.
