Quickly, her smile returned: "I thought you left me on purpose, but it turns out it was like that. I heard that several Spirit Severing Realm masters appeared that day. Tell me all about it."
Seeing Lu Yaoyao come closer, her eyes blinking like a child listening to a story, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but be amused by her adorable appearance.
Helplessly, he had to organize his thoughts and then started to narrate the story from the beginning bit by bit.
Lu Yaoyao held her chin with both hands, listening attentively. She would widen her eyes in surprise at thrilling moments and show delight at interesting parts.
"She said she had a destiny with you?" Lu Yaoyao quickly caught onto this key point and hurriedly asked.
Zhou Qing replied, "It was probably related to the meeting that evening. Fortunately, I didn’t follow down then. Those human-shaped Demon Race members died right in the abyss..."
"Wasn’t there a nice fragrance coming from her when she was so close to you?" Lu Yaoyao interrupted again.
Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly and said, "We were too busy being watched by a Spirit Severing Realm master to notice such things. You don’t know, that Golden-winged Roc in the abyss was really formidable..."
"I don’t think it’s that simple. Weren’t there two other prodigies from Cangyan Daoist Palace present then? Why did she specifically choose you? Did she tell you her name?" Lu Yaoyao continued to ask.
Zhou Qing was immediately speechless.
Do you want to hear the story or not? This constant questioning... How can I continue the story?
After the previous incidents, Zhou Qing thoroughly understood Lu Yaoyao’s matchmaker tendencies.
"Don’t worry needlessly. She’s definitely not from our Holy Martial Dynasty’s Spirit Severing Realm, probably from neighboring fourth-level Cultivation Countries, or even maybe a fifth-level Cultivation Country." Zhou Qing said helplessly.
Lu Yaoyao reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright, alright, continue with your story."
Only then could Zhou Qing continue narrating.
After Zhou Qing finished the story, Lu Yaoyao confidently said, "I have a feeling you two will definitely meet again in the future!"
Big Sis, when I was at Foundation Establishment Realm, you tried to matchmake me with the Divinity Transformation Realm Immortal Xuan You.
When I reached the Golden Core Realm, you frequently dragged the Ninth Princess to my house with excitement.
Now, your standards have grown so high that you’re even considering Spirit Severing Realm individuals as potential matches. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Logically, before you embarked on cultivation, your brother must have been an ordinary person.
Did he have any unrealistic dreams?
Now, it seems I’ve become a substitute, being tossed around by you.
"Enough, Brother Zhou, you just rest well. Next time there’s a mission, make sure to call me. Maybe tagging along with you will help me easily break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
After a while, Lu Yaoyao stood up and said.
Before Zhou Qing could agree, she had already assumed his consent and happily skipped away.
"What a mess!" Zhou Qing sighed.
Three days later, the swelling on his head finally subsided somewhat. Before he had a chance to examine the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture," Yan Xiaohu arrived with an old hen and some news.
"Second Senior Sister has gone into closed-door training, preparing to break through to Divinity Transformation Realm!"
Zhou Qing wasn’t particularly surprised by this news. After all, Second Senior Sister’s comprehension of the realm was different from that of Senior Brother. However, he still felt genuinely happy for his Second Senior Sister from the bottom of his heart.
But seeing the downcast look on Yan Xiaohu’s face, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
Yan Xiaohu sighed repeatedly, then plopped down at the doorway, looking dejected.
"The pressure is immense. With Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister both reaching Divinity Transformation, it’s my turn next. Even if I delay a bit, it’s understandable since I joined later, but—"
Yan Xiaohu said this while looking resentfully at Zhou Qing, continuing, "But you’ve been outpacing me like a grim reaper. No matter how hard I run, you still surpass me."
"You’re already at mid-Nascent Soul, plus your four flowers. I’m afraid I’ll be the last one to advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm at our Little Spirit Peak."
"No, I’m at Earth Vein Foundation Establishment, with only a 30% chance of reaching Divinity Transformation in the future. Just thinking about it gets me down."
Seeing Yan Xiaohu’s gloomy face, Zhou Qing sat down beside him with a smile, saying, "It’s just Divinity Transformation Realm. I believe my Third Senior Brother can definitely cross that threshold smoothly."
Yan Xiaohu was speechless. What a perfunctory comfort!
"Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I actually came to tell you Old Mo has also gone into closed-door training!" Yan Xiaohu said.
Zhou Qing was first stunned, then his eyes lit up with anticipation as he asked, "Could it be that Master is attempting to achieve Perfection of Divinity Transformation Realm?"
Yan Xiaohu replied, "I’m not entirely sure. But from what the senior uncles and senior masters said, Master had remarkable talent back in the day. However, after bringing back Second Senior Sister many years ago, his Divine Soul was injured."
"Now, with the nourishment of the Soul Breath Immortal Grass, his Divine Soul has fully recovered. Plus, with the Five Elements Top-Grade Spirit Stones you provided, perhaps he’s seizing this opportunity to reach a higher realm."
