Chapter 21 - Oh, he's teaching you how to catch an immortal (2)
After Leng Mushi left, the tears in Leng Tianyin's eyes fell. Her crying appearance was poignant. She called for the waiter to bring her another bowl of congee. While drinking big spoonfuls of congee, she continued crying.
Yi Tu and Xing Zhou looked at each other and guessed; could this be the scene of two sisters fighting over a man?
Seeing that Leng Tianyin was crying while drinking congee, Yi Tu felt that she was too pitiful. He cleared his throat and racked his brain to think of a way to comfort her. "Miss Leng, your sister might not have done that on purpose."
"It's definitely deliberate!" Leng Tianyin had originally been silently crying. Hearing those words, she was stirred up. "Of course, she did that on purpose. You don't know her well!"
Yi Tu and Xing Zhou immediately had expressions of not knowing how to continue the conversation.
Leng Tianyin continued to say, "She's worried that I'll lose vitality. That's why she insisted on going."
It was as if the congee that Leng Tianyin drank had turned into tears. The plump and clear tears raced out of her eyes and fell into the bowl of congee. She drank another spoonful of congee while crying, creating an endless loop.
Leng Tianyin said in a tearful voice, "She protected me when we were in that powerful demoness's stomach. On that day, when tragedy befell our family, if she hadn't called me away, I would have died without an intact corpse…"
Yi Tu and Xing Zhou showed astounded expressions. Soon, they looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, they had been poisoned by novels. Leng Tianyin was right. The first person Nianci saved was her sister when they were captured by the demoness. They had seen that for themselves. These two sisters deeply cared about each other.
"Drink slowly. Don't choke." Yi Tu offered Leng Tianyin a piece of cloth. "Your sister has already started cultivation. The spirit energy attracting bag can't absorb her vitality…"
—
It really wouldn't. Leng Mushi was standing on a stool that the tavern keeper had brought over. She and Xiao Mian were standing on opposite sides of the stool.
She was holding a small, inconspicuous, and somewhat dirty cloth bag. She didn't feel anything. Bored to death, she looked at the flowers and trees that were beginning to decline after entering autumn and the nearby Xiao Mian, who was drawing runes in the air to attract spiritual energy.
When they were captured by Fenlian, she didn't have time to look at the immortals when they were casting spells. Now, they were face to face, and she could see Xiao Mian's finger rapidly moving through the air. In the spots that his finger moved through, he left behind a trail of scarlet and gold runes that were especially dazzling in the sunlight.
This was a cultivator's spell.
Leng Mushi suddenly had a sense that cultivation was real and within reach. In the future, she would be able to put on a solemn face and pretend to be serene, and then smoothly draw a rune to bluff people. Just thinking about it made her happy.
After she got rid of the plot, she would be an immortal too!
Although there hadn't been an immortal cultivator that ascended to a higher realm in the past tens of thousands of years, there were still people that extended their life to thousands of years when their cultivation level got high enough. There were even cultivators that could seal up their souls at the end of their lives, slowly and warmly raise it, and hope for the chance to be reborn, and obtain immortality.
Thinking of it this way, her future was wonderful.
[Hug him.]
Just as Leng Mushi was having these happy thoughts, the law suddenly spoke.
As soon as he spoke, Fenlian also spoke. "Why?"
Only Leng Mushi could hear them, and the two started chattering with no end in sight.
Leng Mushi scolded, "Shut up!"
Xiao Mian was in the middle of drawing runes. His hand shook, and the attracted spiritual energy deviated and headed straight for Leng Mushi's head.
It wasn't a big deal if spiritual energy entered the body. It was just that people who hadn't experienced that before wouldn't be able to move for a while.
Xiao Mian hastily stretched his hand out to intercept the spiritual energy. He forgot that they were standing on a two-legged stool. If the weight on one side suddenly disappeared, it would naturally fall towards the other side.
And so, Leng Mushi fell backward. "Hey!"
Just when her butt was about to hit the ground, Xiao Mian, who had recovered from his surprise, quickly pulled her towards him.
However, he had to pull Leng Mushi, keep the two-legged stool balanced, and close the spirit-attracting bag to avoid losing the spiritual energy that he had gathered. Thus, he didn't have time to carefully think.
There was the slight sound of two bodies bumping into each other.
Leng Mushi, who had lost the feeling in her body, crashed into Xiao Mian's chest, and her head was buried in his neck. Her mouth had been slightly open in panic earlier and was now in the posture of nibbling his neck.
Leng Mushi: …
Xiao Mian: …
The law: … scene completed.
Fenlian: Oh, he's teaching you how to catch an immortal. This trick is good. I'll write this down.
