Chapter 420: Chapter 186: An Incredibly Generous Task Reward [Extra Chapter for 2200 Monthly Tickets]
This time, Jian Ruyu heard everything clearly.
However, it only made her more baffled.
What the devil? Was this something they should be discussing?!
Seeing Yun Xi’s serious yet natural expression, Jian Ruyu wondered for a moment if she was overreacting. Perhaps this was normal conversation?
Jian Ruyu, completely baffled and slightly embarrassed, said, “No, not at all. What’s up?”
Yun Xi grabbed Jian Ruyu’s hand, earnestly saying, “Sister Ruyu, help me. I want you and Lu Yi to engage in Dual Cultivation.”
The atmosphere suddenly turned silent, freezing Jian Ruyu’s expression as the two stared at each other.
After a moment of silence, Jian Ruyu, with her mouth agape, stuttered, “… Huh?”
Jian Ruyu’s mind was filled with question marks as she stared at Yun Xi, completely baffled.
“… What did you say?” Jian Ruyu numbly asked.
Yun Xi repeated earnestly, “I hope you and Lu Yi can pursue Dual Cultivation together.”
“I heard you the first time! I mean, why? Why are you talking to me about this?!” Jian Ruyu, completely dumbfounded, asked. Was this the type of conversation they were supposed to have?!
Although Jian Ruyu understood that Yun Xi must also be Lu Yi’s Taoist couple, given Lu Yi’s sheer excellence and kindness towards both of them — even her, had it not been for the Sword Heart Fruit provided by Lu Yi, she wouldn’t have attained the Immortal Body.
The Immortal Body! Regular cultivation is enough to ascend to immortality. What an incredible stroke of fate!
In addition, Lu Yi’s personality is so gentle; he’s the ideal partner one could imagine.
It wasn’t just her; throughout Tianming, countless female cultivators wished to become his Taoist couple.
Although Jian Ruyu felt somewhat uncomfortable knowing Lu Yi had other companions, she had accepted it.
But, Jian Ruyu had never expected Yun Xi to bring up such a matter.
Isn’t this embarrassing???
Jian Ruyu felt her face blushing intensely, her mind a complete mess.
Yun Xi, still calm, said, “Because I would die otherwise.”
Jian Ruyu: “???”
Her expression froze, and she silently watched Yun Xi, “… What do you mean?”
Yun Xi’s pretty face showed a hint of fear as she naturally said, “Lu Yi is too powerful. I can’t handle it alone; every time we engage in Dual Cultivation, I pass out, so I hope Sister Ruyu can share the burden with me.”
Jian Ruyu’s mouth twitched suddenly, and a thought struck her, her eyes losing their sparkle. In a somber tone, she said, “… Yun Xi, just in case, I need to ask: have you indeed engaged in Dual Cultivation with Junior Brother already?”
Yun Xi nodded, “Yes, for a while now.”
Jian Ruyu’s gaze dimmed further: “… I see.”
This woman, she’s like a fox spirit, isn’t she?!
Jian Ruyu was very upset, knowing even Ningshuang had not engaged in Dual Cultivation with Junior Brother, yet this woman had?!
Damn! So envious… Gah! Shameless!
Jian Ruyu was burning with rage.
Originally, Jian Ruyu had thought she would be the first, especially since she had been quite proactive during their last visit to the White Cloud Sect.
Although the situation had not allowed it back then, Jian Ruyu thought there was no rush.
She never expected that in just a few decades, this fox spirit would make a move?!
Jian Ruyu was grinding her teeth in anger.
Finding Jian Ruyu’s expression stiff, Yun Xi looked at her with puzzling innocence, “Sister Ruyu, what’s wrong?”
With a forced smile, Jian Ruyu replied, “Nothing at all, Yun Xi.”
Yun Xi nodded, “Sister Ruyu, will you help me?”
Remembering Yun Xi’s earlier words and setting aside her anger, Jian Ruyu asked, genuinely puzzled, “Yun Xi, what did you mean by Junior Brother being too powerful? Why do you pass out every time?”
Being essentially inexperienced in romantic matters, and having only heard occasional mentions of Dual Cultivation from some fellow disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, Jian Ruyu was confused.
After all, none of her senior sisters ever mentioned passing out?
Could it be that these two kinds of Dual Cultivation were different?
Jian Ruyu pondered the issue internally.
Yun Xi, taken aback by the question and usually straightforward, found herself struggling to respond.
Her cheeks colored slightly, and after a moment of stuttering, she said, “You’ll understand after you and Lu Yi engage in Dual Cultivation together. I don’t know how to explain it.”
Hearing this, Jian Ruyu grew even more puzzled.
She blinked, her curiosity piqued, but seeing Yun Xi’s hesitantly, she decided not to probe further, “I see.”
Yun Xi asked again, “Sister Ruyu, would you be willing to help me?”
With her cheeks slightly red and feeling a bit bashful, Jian Ruyu asked, “Dual Cultivation?”
Although bashful, Jian Ruyu thought about how Yun Xi had unexpectedly gotten the better of her. If only she had thought of a method last time, wouldn’t she have been the first?
Besides Yun Xi, there were far too many women eyeing Junior Brother, not to mention Ningshuang and Ming Yue, as well as the heirs of each Immortal Sect Holy Land and Great Sect — who wasn’t eying Junior Brother greedily?
No matter what, this time she could not afford to miss the opportunity again!
While Jian Ruyu was not as direct as Yun Xi, she was a decisive person, bold in love and resolute in action. With a determined gleam in her eyes, she nodded, “Alright! I’ll help you!”
Hearing this, Yun Xi’s eyes brightened, and her smile radiated, “Thank you, Sister Ruyu! This way, I can relax a bit more.”
