Chapter 379: My Roommate Is An Immortal
A faint blue mist rose, engulfing Wang Xuan both physically and spiritually with its blue ripples, as if elevating his life's essence to a higher level. "What a treasure, I must refine and absorb as much as I can!" he thought. The next day, he awoke, bursting with energy and vitality, feeling as though the barriers to his realm were beginning to loosen.
With the meteorite passage temporarily inaccessible, he decided to forge ahead in the real world. The day was well planned; Wang Xuan took Fang Yuzhu to report at Ancheng University. Qingmu had already made arrangements with the familiar and cooperative department heads.
Everything went smoothly. Wang Xuan pointed to a row of dormitories in the distance, telling Fang Yuzhu that was where he used to live. "Are you commuting or staying on campus?" he asked her.
"Let's stay on campus for now. In a couple of days, if I find it inconvenient, I'll move back and commute," Fang Yuzhu decided. Now, she was youthful and vibrant, dressed like a female student. In fact, as a peerless fairy from the realm of immortality, her current attire drew many eyes, pure yet with an indescribable inner quality.
"Fang... Fairy?!" a familiar face exclaimed in surprise and quickly approached. It was Zhou Shiqi, graceful and elegant, recognized by her aura and that unique charm. Fang Yuzhu had not intended to hide her true identity.
Zhou Shiqi's current identity was that of a newly debuted singer. Recently, under her company's promotion, she came to the old land to capture the market and deliberately enrolled at Ancheng University for further studies as a publicity stunt, making her a mid-entry art student.
Though not yet a top celebrity, she was fairly well-known, with a high turn-back rate on campus. Now, looking like an excited fan, she surprised many, drawing all eyes towards them. Zhou Shiqi, undeterred by the attention, excitedly proposed, "Fang Fairy, let's share a dorm room!"
"My roommate is a celestial fairy!" Wang Xuan muttered, his casual jest from the night before now seemingly coming true. He guessed that was exactly how Zhou felt, thrilled even though she herself was a fairy. "My roommate is a peerless fairy!" Zhou Shiqi corrected.
Wang Xuan: "..."
In the following two days, Fang Yuzhu embarked on a new life as a university student. She aimed for a low profile, but from day one, Zhou Shiqi became her adoring fan, ensuring Fang was the center of attention everywhere she went, despite her efforts to conceal her true appearance.
Two days later, Zhou Qinghuang sought Wang Xuan's help to enroll at Ancheng University to experience college life. Wang Xuan was speechless. What was happening? Practitioners from behind the scenes, now three of them, were all eager to live as college girls?
Wang Xuan quickly noticed the fervor in her eyes, somewhat excited, and immediately realized something. The relationship between Zhou Qinghuang and Gu Mingxi was ambiguous. Was she now aiming to get closer to Fang Yuzhu?
"Wang said, 'Zhou, your flirtations with Gu might be one thing, but if you try to get too close to Fairy Fang, be careful. A gentle wave of her delicate hand could erase you in an instant, leaving no trace.'" He warned her.
He also thought this was something many male immortals lamented. Zhou Qinghuang and Gu Mingxi, both well-known fairies behind the scenes, had an unclear relationship, which he considered a waste of resources.
"What are you talking about? I simply admire Fairy Fang. Your thoughts are unhealthy!" Zhou Qinghuang retorted, still dressed professionally, her emotions clearly agitated under her buttoned shirt.
"Men competing is one thing, but now women are joining the fray, intensifying the competition among people," Wang Xuan shook his head.
Zhou Qinghuang adjusted her glasses on her delicate nose, immediately denying any unconventional inclinations.
"Suit yourself. Go find Qingmu for help. I won't be a part of this, inviting trouble," Wang Xuan said.
"Are you trying to say, 'Leave the fairy alone, and let you handle it'? I'll tell Fairy Fang!" Zhou Qinghuang retorted, turning on her heel to leave.
"Old Wang, are you trying to defy the heavens? I thought she was a female immortal, but turns out, she's the foremost female immortal from behind the scenes? Such a sister-in-law, that's huge pressure!"
Unable to continue the conversation, Wang Xuan pushed him aside. Yang Lin, practical and truly understanding, pulled Qin Cheng away, preventing him from spouting nonsense.
"Yang Lin, let me tell you, Old Wang has really defied the heavens this time. Do you know who that woman just now was? She is..." Even as they walked away, he continued talking.
At the scene, Wang Xuan was feeling overwhelmed. Not far away, Zhou Qinghuang and Zhou Shiqi came out to see Fang Yuzhu off, both suppressing their smiles as they enjoyed seeing him in a tight spot, feeling quite pleased.
In fact, once Qin Cheng reached a secluded spot far away, he immediately dropped his "ignorance" and stopped talking nonsense. He finally sighed, "I did it to pressure Old Wang, to remind him not to forget his original intentions. Some things are permissible, but some people must not be forgotten!"
Fang Yuzhu got into the car, waved to the two women, and was very calm. Although she was trying to integrate into the mundane world, there weren't many things in it that could truly capture her attention or concern.
On the way, Wang Xuan taught her how to drive. For a celestial being, driving skills and the profound meanings of scriptures are incomparably simple; she would be able to hit the road on her own next time.
In the evening, Wang Xuan once again enjoyed a delicious meal of homemade dishes. Just at this time, his mother called, inquiring about his well-being, what he was eating, wearing, and living.
This was rare, as usually, his parents weren't too concerned about these trivial matters, saying that since he wasn't a girl, they were not worried about leaving him be.
"I'm eating quite well. Yes, I'm actually eating right now. Tomato and egg stir-fry, red braised prawns, hmm, it tastes better than what you make, I ate two large bowls today!"
"What are you talking about? Who can cook better than me?!" Wang Xuan's mother objected, asking who was cooking for him.
"My roommate, no, my neighbor," Wang Xuan said.
"It's Fang Yuzhu, Little Fang, right?" Wang Xuan's mother asked this way.
Wang Xuan was stunned on the spot; even his mother knew about it?
"I asked Qingmu about it, and he mentioned that recently, a girl named Fang Yuzhu became your neighbor. Little Fang, she's a nice person, you should spend more time with her," Wang's mom chuckled joyfully before decisively hanging up the call.
"Little Fang" Fang Yuzhu showed a hint of surprise, feeling somewhat unusual since it had been a long time since anyone had called her that. She silently speculated for a moment but didn't notice anything particular.
In the evening, under the moonlight, which became fuller by the month, Wang Xuan felt something unusual as he looked up at the sky from the estate.
After dinner, as usual, he practiced his cultivation, refining the luminescent creation crystals. Soon, he entered a deep meditative state, enveloped in a blue mist.
At midnight, the silver moon in the sky changed, tinted with a hint of blood-red. A fishing line silently descended, entering Wang Xuan's room!
At that moment, in the adjacent room, the ethereally beautiful Fang Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes, her dazzling brilliance flowing like a miniature divine river.
