Xu Nian spent over a hundred years cultivating from a lowly immortal to an upper immortal.
This is the result of her extraordinary abilities.
"I never thought this brand could be used like this," Xu Nian muttered, stroking the silver pattern between her eyebrows.
She didn't realize the token in her mind had this effect at first; it was only by chance that she discovered its wonderful use.
Ignoring energy systems and realm barriers, as long as she cultivates diligently, improving her cultivation level is as easy as eating and drinking.
Even Rong Qi, who had initially urged her to cultivate, fell silent after seeing this. The promised training trip came to nothing, and then he started to escalate things further.
If you were to ask Xu Nian what the benefits of having a high cultivation level would be, she would say there are none, because Rong Qi is too much of a troublemaker.
She felt that after her cultivation level improved, those things were going on for longer and longer, and becoming increasingly excessive.
However, when she was angry and cold, Rong Qi would shamelessly try to please her in every way, creating a vicious cycle.
Only now did Xu Nian realize that Rong Qi was a liar who had been slowly boiling a frog in water.
His initial gentleness was just a facade to lower her guard; now he is his true self—an insatiable wolf.
The problem is that she's accepting it well now, but if he suddenly becomes normal, she'll start to suspect that Rong Qi has been impersonated.
"Madam, what are you thinking about so intently?" The man's whisper in her ear pulled Xu Nian back from her wandering thoughts.
She rolled her eyes at the man, annoyed. "Who else could I possibly want besides you?"
"So it turns out that my wife was thinking of me. I also happen to be thinking of my wife."
"My wife and I are truly of one mind!" Rong Qi reached out and pulled Xu Nian into his arms, his handsome face beaming with joy.
"Rong Qi, let me go! I'm still angry!" Xu Nian broke free from his grasp, not forgetting to glare at him fiercely.
Rong Qi coughed guiltily, then knelt down beside Xu Nian's legs with a thud. "Madam, I was wrong. I promise I will listen to you from now on. If you disagree, I will never force you. If you ask me to fish, I will never touch a chicken. If you ask me to climb a tree, I will never let my feet touch the ground."
"You've said this ten thousand and eight times, always just changing the wording but not the meaning. When have you ever actually done it?" Xu Nian glanced at Rong Qi at her feet, a cold smile spreading across her face.
"Madam, I promise this is the last time. If not, you can immediately rip out my essence." Rong Qi hurriedly used what Xu Nian cared about most to show his loyalty.
Rong Qi's words only made Xu Nian angrier.
She had always thought that the marrow was like bone marrow, growing inside the body, which had troubled her for a long time.
As it turned out, she later learned from a book that the essence of each deity was different.
Apart from the Divine Lord himself, no one knew where the divine essence was or what it looked like.
No matter how much Rong Qi guarantees, in the current climate, it's all just empty talk, and the weakest kind at that, unable to cause any damage.
He always readily admits his mistakes, yet he never corrects them despite repeated admonitions.
This act of admitting fault has to be performed every few days.
He always came up with different ideas, and she was happy to play along.
No, she needs a different punishment this time. If this continues, she'll never have a moment of peace.
Xu Nian's eyes darted around, but before she could say anything, Rong Qi, who had seen through her thoughts, sealed her mouth.
At the same time, a man's threatening whisper reached her ears. "Madam, you don't want to be... well, you'd better not say such things."
"Rong Qi, don't you think you're being a bit too shameless?" Xu Nian's eyes widened in anger, and she swallowed back her previous words, feeling somewhat wronged.
The woman's aggrieved look tugged at Rong Qi's heart, but the thought that once he started, he would have to live alone in an empty room made him extremely unwilling.
What if sleeping in separate rooms causes a breakdown in the relationship, given how hard it is for two people to get along so well?
He didn't want to regret it later.
With a hardened heart, Rong Qi said seriously, "Niannian, you can think I'm shameless or a beast, but if you want to sleep in separate rooms, don't even think about it. At worst, I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"
"Are you telling the truth or lying this time?" Xu Nian had no belief in Rong Qi's true nature.
"Really, I'm not lying to you this time," Rong Qi swore, pointing to the sky.
"Ha! So you were lying to me all along." Xu Nian gave him a look that said, "I see right through you."
Rong Qi: "..."
He dug his own hole and buried himself in it; what can he say? Admitting it is wrong, denying it is wrong too.
Fortunately, these bickerings between the two are just a spice in life. As long as he admits his mistakes sincerely, Niannian won't hold it against him too much.
He offered the essence as a bargaining chip, yet he never once asked about Nian Nian's thoughts.
Actually, he would have told her if she had just asked.
She never asked him if he could understand that she was actually reluctant to leave him so soon.
"Niannian, I've realized I love you even more today." Rong Qi's gaze was intense, and the passion in his eyes made Xu Nian's face flush.
"Stop. You've given me enough love already. I can't afford any more." Xu Nian coldly rejected him, slapped away Rong Qi's outstretched hands, and warned him not to come any closer.
Rong Qi was not annoyed by the rejection. Instead, he said in a coquettish tone, "Madam, just give me a kiss."
"No." Xu Nian ignored the person in front of her pleading and told herself over and over that she couldn't be soft-hearted now, or she would be the one crying later.
