Chapter 22 - 22: Senior Sister’s Hint?_1
Chapter 22: Senior Sister's Hint?_1
"Senior Brother... I'm so useless. Even though you specially prepared the Holding Spirit Pill for me, I still failed..." A wronged voice.
"Ah, it's ok. It's ok." Qin Changqing washed his hands, gently patted her head, and comforted her, "It's just a small matter. Look at the bright side. My Junior Sister Bai Yan is intelligent and talented, the Emperor of the Human Realm. One day, she will soar into the sky and defeat the Heavenly Dao."
"Pfft~"
Bai Yan felt both sad and amused at the same time. She looked at Qin Changqing with teary eyes, "Senior Brother, you really know how to comfort people. How could I be the Emperor of the Human Realm with my current situation? That's too ridiculous."
"It's always good to have dreams." Qin Changqing shrugged his shoulders, "Set a goal, be bold, it doesn't cost anything, so what are you afraid of?"
"Oh, Senior Brother! You've stopped me from crying now!"
"Well then, don't cry. My junior sister looks better when she smiles, and her dimples are especially cute."
Bai Yan blushed and quickly wiped the tears off her face. The light blue spiritual qi in her hand floated around, and her cheeks, which looked like a little flower cat just a moment ago, suddenly became spotlessly white.
Cultivating immortality really has its perks, as the use of spiritual qi is very convenient.
Moreover, because cultivators have spiritual qi infused into their bodies, it has the effect of cleansing their muscles and marrow, making their skin white and soft without the need for any cosmetics.
What does natural beauty mean?
This is it.
Bai Yan had indeed been feeling quite down these days. She was even heartbroken to the point of wanting to give up her cultivation. If she continued, the Heart Devil would inevitably grow, and she would never be able to cross the Establishing Foundation Stage threshold in the future.
Mo Jiuzhou saw this and urgently summoned Qin Changqing to the mountain.
At this moment, when junior sister looked at her senior brother, her heart felt warm.
"Senior Sister Lingshuang asked me to observe Senior Brother. Could she be hinting at something?"
"Senior Sister must have noticed my aptitude as well. Even if I succeed in establishing my foundation, it would be difficult for me to go far, so she asked me to think about my backup plan ahead of time. If I can't continue cultivating, I should join Senior Brother and wander through the world together, right?"
"Indeed... Both Senior Sister Lingshuang and Senior Brother are so gentle."
Bai Yan thought to herself, her big, shiny eyes staring at Qin Changqing, suddenly saying, "Senior Brother, I want to go down the mountain for a walk, will you accompany me?"
On the other side.
On a small peak not far to the left of Xuanyi Peak.
There is a clear spring in the mountains, surrounded by lush green mountains on all sides. The spring water is crystal clear and flows like a fairyland in the mortal world.
If you come early in the morning when the fairy mist has not yet dispersed and birds and animals are dancing, the scenery is even more beautiful.
At this time, close to noon, the sun was shining, and a group of female disciples were frolicking in the water, laughing and chatting happily.
"Junior Sister Xi'er, it's only been a few years since we last met. How did you become even more charming? Tell us your secret."
"Yeah, I remember Junior Sister Xi'er used to be 'this' small, and now she's 'this~' big."
"And also, she has an indescribable charm that makes her whole person more energetic."
Facing the teasing laughter, even Xi'er, who was usually lively and generous, couldn't take it anymore.
She came to reminisce with a few senior sisters she had a good relationship with. They all wanted to relax in their spare time from cultivating.
Of course, they were all curious about Xi'er and Qin Changqing's situation.
"What are you guys talking about... Stop teasing me..." Unable to take the staring eyes, she buried herself in the water, leaving only the part above her nose exposed.
"Tell us, tell us, how was your life with Senior Brother when you went down the mountain?"
"There was nothing special, just like that..."
"What kind of 'that' is it? I heard that the secular world emphasizes filial piety, and women should help their husbands and teach their children at home. Have you had a child yet?"
Xi'er: "..."
I did have children, several of them.
But I can't tell you that.
However, the senior sisters obviously didn't plan on letting her off easily.
"You guys, honestly!" Xi'er splashed the water with a powerful force, "If you want to know, go ask Senior Brother. I'm not saying!"
The senior sisters were taken aback for a moment, and then they pounced on her.
"You little rebel, looking for a beating!"
"Ouch~ What are you doing?"
"Tell us or not! Tell us or not!"
"Hahaha! Stop it, don't tickle me, I'll tell!"
When Qin Changqing came to fetch Xi'er, she was wearing her clothes, running towards him in a disheveled state.
And there was a group of evil women from Xuanyi Peak's forces following her.
"Senior Brother!" Seeing Qin Changqing, Xi'er found her savior, "Save me! Save me!"
Qin Changqing was somewhat puzzled, "What are you guys doing?"
The group of women immediately stopped their pursuit, stopped one after another, and bowed deeply to him."Senior Brother."
Although Qin Changqing had left the mountain, his seniority was still there, and Mo Jiuzhou had never openly removed him from Xuanyi Peak.
Everyone on the mountain knew that their master and disciple relationship was very good, so no matter when, Qin Changqing was still their senior brother.
The junior female disciples were quite reserved, greeted him and left one after another.
Before leaving, they took another look at Qin Changqing.
"What's going on?" He looked at Xi'er and noticed that she was blushing and lowering her head like a student who had done something wrong.
Soon, she also noticed Bai Yan beside Qin Changqing.
"Senior Sister Bai Yan is here, too."
"I went down the mountain," said Bai Yan. "I wanted to see the world with Senior Brother."
"Huh?"
Xi'er was stunned.
The script seemed so familiar.
Heiyu Town.
It had been many years since Bai Yan had wandered around the mortal world.
For someone with her cultivation level and being female, the risk of traveling outside was quite significant.
Normally, sect disciples with lower cultivation would travel together to complete sect missions.
They could gain experience, broaden their horizons, stay safe, and receive rewards.
Bai Yan had been to Yinxu Prefecture several times, but never to more distant places. Most of her other trips were to places like Mang Mountain Mine or other mountains.
Hunting demonic beasts in the forest, she remembered once when she went to complete a mission after a demonic beast caused havoc in a village at the foot of the mountain.
Heiyu Town was her first time here.
However, when Bai Yan first entered the town, she felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Why are they all staring at me?
Wrong, it seems like they're talking about me and Senior Brother.
Strange, is Senior Brother so famous here?
I remember that there are also many powerful loose cultivators in Heiyu Town.
"Senior Brother, why are they always looking at me?" Bai Yan asked in confusion.
Xi'er thought for a moment and said, "Because Senior Sister Bai Yan is very beautiful."
So?
Bai Yan didn't quite understand.
Is there a problem with a female cultivator being pretty?
Xi'er, you're pretty too, why don't they look at you?
Bai Yan felt puzzled, but since Qin Changqing didn't say anything, she noticed that some people seemed very excited, muttering things like 'Great, there's another wedding feast' and so on.
Qin Changqing's mouth twitched slightly: "Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce and have a look."
"Chamber of Commerce?" Bai Yan was puzzled.
"Senior Brother opened a Chamber of Commerce in the town that sells elixirs, medicinal herbs, and things used by mortals." Xi'er explained.
The Chamber of Commerce was in the middle of the town, with an ancient stone high-rise building exuding a sense of history. Yinxu Prefecture had existed for thousands of years, and the various large towns within its jurisdiction were the same.
When Bai Yan entered the Chamber of Commerce and saw the myriad of goods, she was amazed for a moment.
She did not expect that in just over ten years, Qin Changqing had developed his business into something impressive.
Just at that moment, a beautiful figure came down from the upstairs.
"That's Sister Yue'er," Xi'er whispered to Bai Yan. "She's the first wife that Senior Brother married."
"Yue'er, how's everything going on this side?" Qin Changqing asked.
"Business is normal, I came to get some things for Miss Xiaoxiao."
"Xiaoxiao? What happened to her?"
"Well..." Su Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Everyone has given birth to several children, but she hasn't gotten pregnant with a second one after all this time, so she wants to take some herbal medicine."
Qin Changqing: "..."
What's going on?
All the fairies at home, instead of focusing on cultivating, are competing with each other in having children?
Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline of morality?
