Chapter 26.3

Xiao Yu-shixiong, What Do You Think? (3)

“I think this is a bit strange.” Meng Yaolan said softly, “Since everyone claims that it’s an attack targeting Shen-shixiong, why were you involved?”

Ji Qingzhou was momentarily caught off guard. She was a little moved, because someone finally questioned this fact.

“Miss Ji, the last array you answered in Master’s class is very dangerous.” Meng Yaolan was taller than Ji Qingzhou, so she bowed her head and seriously warned Ji Qingzhou, “Many disciples and elders have heard that you have flawlessly solved this array. It is one of the evil formations that Huang Shi had used to persecute the immortal cultivation world back then.”

“Maybe, the mysterious person who came to White Water Island that night was after you and Shen-shixiong…or maybe, he was just after you…” Meng Yaolan voiced her speculations.

“Maybe.” Ji Qingzhou sighed helplessly.

She was reluctant to answer such questions. The array and solution of the array required strong magic power support. What was the point of her answering or not answering? She simply lacked the skills to engage in things related to formations.

Ji Qingzhou thought of poor Maomao again, who was waiting for the top-grade Immortal Spirit Pill to survive.

After she chatted with Meng Yaolan, she thought about treating the Profound Frost Beast in front of her perfunctorily for a while, but when she had turned her head, it stole all the Ice Spirit Fruit in her basket and finished them.

Ji Qingzhou stared at the empty basket, and then glanced at the Profound Frost Beast that was rolling on the ground, feeling helpless.

The test of this Beast Mastery Class was to check if the care of the disciples could satisfy the Profound Frost Beasts. The elder of the class, Qu Ting, had experience in observing the mood of Profound Frost Beasts.

These Profound Frost Beasts that were in their puberty were quite ill-tempered. Miraculously, Ji Qingzhou’s Profound Frost Beast that succeeded in stealing the Ice Spirit Fruit was extraordinarily happy because it not only enjoyed the food, but also enjoyed the pleasure of stealing them.

Ji Qingzhou and Meng Yaolan both got A grades. The Profound Frost Beast that followed Meng Yaolan was proud and only willing to follow the strong, so it was happy enough to follow behind her.

Sometimes, the relationship between cultivators and spirit beasts was quite wonderful. Moreover, the Beast Mastery Class was the only one that Ji Qingzhou could get an A grade in addition to Mu Ying’s Cultivation class before she found out that Maomao needed a top grade Immortal Spirit Pill.

After the class, the disciples dispersed in twos and threes. The next day was Ji Qingzhou’s ‘date’ with Shen Rongyu.

The system cheered her on, “Host, do you feel the stirrings of love in your steps?”

Ji Qingzhou harnessed her energy-filled Flywheel and replied in confusion, “Why should I feel the stirrings of love in my steps?”

“You’re going to capture Shen Rongyu!” the system reminded her bitterly.

“For that, it’s enough for him to be in love, isn’t it?” Ji Qingzhou was puzzled.

She really didn’t understand the brain circuit of the system. Although Shen Rongyu was unlikely to experience the budding power of love, she didn’t feel anything either.

As a result, before Shen Rongyu came to take her to cultivate that night, Ji Qingzhou pulled out her few sets of clothes and asked the system, “System, which dress do you think looks good?”

Ji Qingzhou’s clothes were only of three colors; black, white and gray, and the style was very simple. Fortunately, she was a beautiful woman. Otherwise, she would have looked depressed.

“They’re all average.” The system commented, “Host, just bring your face.”

Ji Qingzhou looked at the mirror and patted her face.

“Host, you’re starting to fall in love,” the system ruthlessly exposed the fact.

Ji Qingzhou looked at herself in the mirror and her face flushed red. She decided to wear black.

She folded the dress she was going to wear the next day and put it by the pillow. Not long after that, Shen Rongyu arrived.

This was the daily essential Dual Cultivation.. no… cultivation time.

Ji Qingzhou regretted asking Shen Rongyu to help her practice for three hours a day. Every time it ended, she would have a sore back because of her upright sitting posture.

She opened the door to Shen Rongyu. Standing under the moonlight, he looked perfect and warm.

In the room, she obediently stretched out her hand toward him, and Shen Rongyu held her wrist and probed her remaining magic power.

“Did your spring loosen?” Shen Rongyu naturally wouldn’t let go of the chance to tease Ji Qingzhou now that he was here.

“Spring…” Ji Qingzhou flexed her fingers, but they accidentally touched Shen Rongyu’s wrist bone. The pulp of her index finger rubbed the bulge on his wrist.

She withdrew her hand as if struck by an electric shock, and finally remembered that she didn’t use any magic today. She must save her pitiful magic power, that was for sure.

Shen Rongyu didn’t speak any more and just started to help her absorb spirit qi normally.

Of course, in the second half of the cultivation, Ji Qingzhou moved her buttocks; she couldn’t sit still. The process, feeling the spirit qi pour into her meridians during practice, was all too comfortable, but it was difficult to endure it with a straight back.

Shen Rongyu grabbed her arm, and as she was sitting unsteadily, she plunged into his arms.

“Zhouzhou, why are you enduring this suffering?” Shen Rongyu asked her with downcast eyes.

Ji Qingzhou’s cheek was pressed against his chest. Exactly, the two of them were even more intimate last night. The thick fabric on his chest wasn’t even there.

She found that she was not very repulsive of his approach.

Maybe… if she just let him hug her a little longer, she might get used to it. Ji Qingzhou thought so.

She stiffly lay in his arms and began to entertain all sorts of nonsense until she entered the esoteric realm of deep cultivation again.

Since the last time she intently watched the dazzling light mixed in the blood-red vital energy belonging to Shen Rongyu, and the shard flew towards her, she dared not carefully observe the state on Shen Rongyu’s side. Her consciousness only shrank on the side that belonged to her, a tiny corner.

However, Shen Rongyu was not that good a person. Even when he was cultivating, his vital energy was highly aggressive. Ji Qingzhou retreated, but his vital energy was like a madly growing vine that squeezed the space for the two of them to blend together.
