Chapter 128, Chapter 14: The Sickly Beauty of the Cultivation World
Yu Wanwan bit into the spirit fruit and pouted.
"What's the point of telling you? You'll just forget it again next time anyway."
"..."
That cannot be refuted.
Xu Qingzhou sighed, feeling a little melancholy.
Now that his cultivation level is so high, I wonder if he'll be able to retrieve those memories.
Think back to the battle between Yu Wanwan and that body-snatcher.
It doesn't seem like it will work.
Compared to them, the Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators of this world seem to be no match.
"I will work hard to cultivate and regain those memories as soon as possible!"
Yu Wanwan didn't discourage him; she patted his shoulder, offering a half-hearted encouragement.
"come on!"
There was a gentle knock on the courtyard gate.
The two of them looked up at the same time.
Jiang Wanheng and Chu Yansheng stood outside.
Last time, although the two of them didn't faint, their cultivation levels were too low, and they still suffered serious injuries.
After returning to the Xuan Tong Sword Sect, Xu Qingzhou did nothing to them.
Jiang Wanheng did not seek another patron, and because of Yu Wanwan, he continued to live on Wugou Peak.
Chu Yansheng was sent back to her cave dwelling on Taiyi Peak by Xu Qingzhou.
Xu Qingzhou's smile faded slightly.
"I'll go cook for you."
"Um."
Xu Qingzhou and Jiang Wanheng nodded to each other, said goodbye, and left the courtyard.
He didn't spare Chu Yansheng a single unnecessary glance throughout the entire process.
Chu Yansheng's face paled, and she lowered her head, standing behind Jiang Wanheng.
Yu Wanwan lay on the stone table, not getting up.
"Ask anything you want to ask."
Jiang Wanheng remained silent for a long time, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.
“Ah Wan, she…”
He couldn't continue.
If, after such a long period of reflection, he still can't tell whether she is his sister or not, then he has wasted his time cultivating.
"Dead."
Yu Wanwan didn't intend to hide it from him.
He didn't ask, so she continued to be his sister.
He asked, and she told him.
Despair welled up in Jiang Wanheng's eyes.
After a long while, still suppressing the pain in her heart, she managed to speak with difficulty.
"Was it... the day I went home?"
"Um."
Jiang Wanheng's shoulders slumped, as if all his energy had been suddenly drained.
Yu Wanwan still had that same radiant smile.
If you can't even overcome this small hurdle, then your cultivation will have to stop here.
Gentle yet lucid to the point of being almost cruel.
Not all blood relatives of cultivators are cultivators.
Entering the path of spiritual cultivation can extend one's lifespan, but the lifespan of ordinary people is still only a few decades.
His sister is an ordinary person, but she is in poor health and has a congenital heart defect.
He should have realized this much earlier.
Jiang Wanheng was certainly aware of this as well.
But in the end, I was still unwilling to accept it.
He thought... he had made it in time.
Jiang Wanheng opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He left the courtyard with a feeling of loss and desolation.
It will take him time to fully accept his sister's departure.
Yu Wanwan then looked at Chu Yansheng.
"And you? Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Chu Yansheng withdrew her gaze from Jiang Wanheng.
She gripped the sword tightly in her hand, trying to draw a sense of security from it.
"Wan...do you know what happened to me?"
Yu Wanwan stroked the straw bracelet on her wrist, a playful smile on her face.
What do you want to know?
Chu Yansheng didn't dare look into her eyes.
Those gentle, smiling eyes, always holding a smile, were so clear they seemed to see right through people's hearts.
"I want to know if what I know really happened?"
Yu Wanwan gave a soft "Ah".
Yes and no.
Chu Yansheng was taken aback by the unexpected answer, looking somewhat bewildered.
"He didn't come; that was your destiny."
"He has come, and you will live a happy and carefree life under his protection."
Yu Wanwan sighed.
"But now, fate has changed. Who knows what kind of development or destiny awaits you in the future?"
Her trajectory has been completely disrupted, and she has deviated from the plot.
Yu Wanwan didn't have the ability to see beyond the heavens, so she didn't know what level Chu Yansheng would reach now.
Of course, what is certain is that...
If she can't get out of the original plot that was forcibly spoiled for her, and instead clings to things that haven't happened yet.
That was the end of her journey.
Chu Yansheng lowered her eyes, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
She suddenly remembered what the gentle yet powerful woman in front of her had said back in Yunmengze.
After a long while, he respectfully bowed to her.
Thank you.
Yu Wanwan nodded indifferently.
Chu Yansheng also left the courtyard.
I heard that she bid farewell to Taiyi Peak and went down the mountain to gain experience.
As for where she went, what she did, and what kind of adventures she had, Yu Wanwan had no idea.
However, what intrigued her more was Xu Qingzhou.
Xu Qingzhou is no longer in seclusion to cultivate, nor is he paying attention to Chu Yansheng's affairs.
He spent all his time hovering around her.
Occasionally, he would go out to find rare fruits and herbs to feed her.
It seems he's made up his mind to fulfill what he said when he left: to raise her to be plump and healthy.
Yu Wanwan really couldn't stand his clinginess.
"Fine, you're not going to cultivate anymore, but aren't you going to abandon your mission objectives as well?"
Does he still remember that he was on a mission?
What if Chu Yansheng dies unexpectedly?
Don't you want the task anymore?
Xu Qingzhou placed a bowl of porridge, made from some unknown ingredient, on the table.
"My task now is to get you back to health!"
He pushed the bowl of dark porridge in front of her, maintaining his smile.
"Don't change the subject. This is a medicinal diet that I developed with Master Qihuang. Drink it quickly."
Yu Wanwan's face was full of rejection, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
When she left Yunmengze, she had already forgotten about Master Qihuang.
I don't know how he knew she was here, but he actually found the Xuan Tong Sword Sect.
Xu Qingzhou was well aware of Master Qihuang's abilities, and welcomed him in without saying a word.
Currently, Master Qihuang is residing as a guest on Danfeng Peak of the Xuantong Sword Sect.
These two people.
He worried that her frail body wouldn't live long, and if she died prematurely, he would have to wait a long time to find her. By then, he wouldn't remember what had happened in this world, and everything would have to start all over again.
One of them was very interested in her physical condition and was determined to study it thoroughly.
The two hit it off immediately and spent all their time together experimenting with folk remedies.
Moreover, they probably knew that her body was such that she wouldn't die no matter what she ate.
Master Qihuang was exceptionally bold in his use of medicine.
Whether it's poison or elixir, mild or potent, complementary or antagonistic, they're all thrown in at once.
The way they were acting didn't seem like they were going to treat her illness; it was more like they were using her as a test subject for medicine.
It's easy to imagine that such a mixture wouldn't taste very good.
Even if she didn't die from eating it, Yu Wanwan felt utterly hopeless.
It would be better to just die.
Picking at the medicinal food, Yu Wanwan glanced at Xu Qingzhou, whose eyes held fear, and still felt aggrieved as she picked up the bowl and gulped it down.
never mind.
Such a sucker, if we don't go along with her, where will we find another one if we lose her?
Yu Wanwan slammed the empty bowl down in front of him, her disdain undisguised.
"Get out of here! Don't bother me!"
Xu Qingzhou touched the tip of his nose, leaned in and kissed her before obediently leaving.
As soon as he left, Yu Wanwan jumped up and ran to her room to frantically fill up her water bottle.
It tastes awful!
It has all sorts of awful flavors, it's terribly weird!
She could barely suppress the strange and disgusting taste in her mouth before collapsing weakly onto the soft couch, her face filled with utter despair.
Is being in a relationship really this scary?
Can I change my mind and return it?
Knock knock knock.
A gentle knock was made on the window.
Yu Wanwan turned her face away, buried her face in the pillow, and ignored her.
The people outside are very patient.
Every now and then, I would tap it.
The rhythm was just right.
"What are you doing now?"
Yu Wanwan sat up irritably, her tone not very pleasant.
Outside the window, Xu Qingzhou's voice was soft and gentle, carrying a hint of coaxing.
"The sun is shining brightly today, how about we go for a walk together?"
"No! I don't have time! I need to sleep!"
"oh."
The outside world quieted down.
But the person by the window didn't leave; they just stood there quietly.
Instead of concealing his aura, he continued to release it outwards.
His presence was blatantly obvious.
Yu Wanwan rolled her eyes.
In the end, he reluctantly opened the door.
"Why are you so annoying!"
Xu Qingzhou stood outside the door, holding her hand and nuzzling her head with his chin.
"I only bother you."
Yu Wanwan was completely exasperated.
"Weren't you going for a walk? What are you standing there for?"
Xu Qingzhou smiled and took her hand, walking slowly up the slope of Wugou Peak.
The Wugou Peak is naturally rich in spiritual energy, and the plants are growing well.
With her around, the plants grew even better.
Everywhere you look, there are green grasses and flowers, and the air is fresh and fragrant, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Now, his Immaculate Peak is even more suitable for planting than Dan Peak.
The people from Danfeng wished they could all move over here to cultivate fertile land and grow medicinal herbs.
"Are you really not going to tell me your name?"
Xu Qingzhou sighed softly, looking somewhat dejected.
"If you don't tell me, I won't know what to call you."
Yu Wanwan was already in a bad mood after being forcibly dragged out.
Of course, there won't be any pleasant tone now.
"Jiang Wanyin! Can't you read?"
Xu Qingzhou choked up.
You know perfectly well that's not what I meant.
Yu Wanwan snorted and ignored him.
Knowing he wouldn't get an answer, Xu Qingzhou didn't press the matter further and walked alongside her on the hillside.
The atmosphere was unusually warm.
Yu Wanwan's health was really poor, even though Xu Qingzhou was feeding her all sorts of rare and exotic fruits.
Her health continued to decline day by day.
Later on, Xu Qingzhou stopped going out to look for those spiritual fruits.
He spent all his time with her on Wugou Peak, never leaving her side.
The disciples of Xuan Tong Sword Sect often saw their once aloof and icy Sword Master Ji Zhi following closely behind a sickly woman.
The ice and snow in her eyes melted away, revealing a deep sense of cherishing and utmost care.
The woman was mostly gentle and kind, but occasionally she would impatiently kick Ji Zhijian.
The aloof and cold sword master was not annoyed. He even carefully supported her, fearing that something might happen to her.
His patient and gentle demeanor astonished everyone.
