Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Luo Jianqing was about to condemn Xuan Lingzi, but he was amused by his master’s pretended calmness. After all, he didn’t know his master could be jealous, and he looked really cute when he got jealous. After a thought, Luo Jianqing said, “Well, since you have eat all of it yourself, you should sleep on the floor tonight.”
Xuan Lingzi asked, “don’t you meditate tonight?” Actually, he was asking Luo Jianqing whether he slept or not.
Cultivators didn’t need to sleep every night. Meditation was a sort of rest for them too. Luo Jianqing smiled, “Well, you can also do that on the floor.”
Xuan Lingzi, “…”
Suddenly, Xuan Lingzi raised his hand and shove something white into Luo Jianqing’s mouth as he opened it. It was sweet, delicious, fresh and somewhat cold.
Luo Jianqing looked up at Xuan Lingzi, who said in a flat tone, “Just eat it.”
Luo Jianqing had known that his master wouldn’t eat up all the Wind Cake himself. Now he knew that Xuan Lingzi had fooled him. He enjoyed the cake in his mouth and beamed. As Xuan Lingzi was distracted, Luo Jianqing kissed him.
They were in a remote and quiet alley. Xuan Lingzi, with shocking eyes, was pressed against the wall, yet he didn’t resist, just tasted the sweetness from Luo Jianqing’s mouth. Xuan Lingzi closed his eyes and pressed Luo Jianqing down, kissing him back.
The cake was melting in their loving kiss, but he didn’t stop. Their tongues were tangled with each other, giving out vague sounds. It was a long kiss. After they had enough, Xuan Lingzi looked down at his disciple.
Xuan Lingzi said in a low voice, “Your realm is more stable now, so maybe it’s time for… couple cultivation.”
Then, Xuan Lingzi’s ears blushed. He squeezed these words because he had restrained his desire too long, and that was unusual. Luo Jianqing, on the other hand, had no mood to tease him. He was quite nervous about the small lotus in his Dantian.
Luo Jianqing trembled and forged a smile, “I think we’d better focus on devoted cultivation.”
Xuan Lingzi lowered his head with slightly upset eyes.
At night, Xuan Lingzi sat cross-legged on bed in meditation. Luo Jianqing sat closely and gazed at Xuan Lingzi calmly, yet Xuan Lingzi was closing his eyes. Fifteen minutes later, Luo Jianqing curled up his eyebrow and asked, “Master?”
Xuan Lingzi looked up at him, “Since you don’t want to sleep, let’s meditate.”
Luo Jianqing was baffled and asked subconsciously, “…We finally leave Tai Hua mountain, and we still have to cultivate each night?!”
Xuan Lingzi nodded certainly, “Yes.”
Luo Jianqing, “…”
After a long time, Xuan Lingzi noticed Luo Jianqing’s unpleasant face. He asked with confusion, “Jian Qing, don’t you want to focus on cultivation? Meditation can stabilize your power.”
Now, Luo Jianqing finally knew the what was wrong with his master.
But that didn’t help, because what Xuan Lingzi said just made his lotus more excited! Could you stop it! Could you go back to a normal primordial life!
He didn’t dare to do the couple cultivation, but he didn’t want to restrain his desire!
He didn’t come up with a good idea anyway, so he had to sit cross-legged and began meditation. The night passed quickly. The second day, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi pretended to act like brothers again and sauntered in Ying Feng City.
The city was not big, and the most powerful cultivator was just at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Three days later, they left the city. One hour after their journey, a coach approached them slowly.
Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi didn’t use any spiritual power now. He just walked like an ordinary people. Walking wasn’t a burden for them anyway, besides, they could appreciate the beautiful landscape all the way, yet the one sitting in the coach apparently didn’t think so.
The coach stopped three meters ahead of them. A little figure jumped out of the coach and rushed to Luo Jianqing, “Mister, mister!”
Luo Jianqing hurriedly embraced this little girl and another young lady stepped out of the coach. She made a courtesy to them and said, “It seems that you just left Ying Feng City. Where are you heading? We are going to the Sha Du City. If we are heading to the same direction, I can give you a ride.”
Luo Jianqing said, “We will pass through the Sha Du City.”
The lady smiled, “It’s not near from here. You can get on our coach if you don’t mind.”
Luo Jianqing intended to refuse, but the little girl hugged him tight, so they accepted her kindness and got on the coach.
The coach was plainly decorated, yet it felt quite warm and cozy. The carriage was wide with a table set inside. That lady opened the drawer, which was filled by all kinds of snacks. The little girl was thrilled and began to gobble. The woman looked at her daughter with a smile.
Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi sat on the opposition to them.
They didn’t talk much all the way. They young lady was well-spoken. She only said that her husband’s surname was Lin, and only asked Xuan Ling and Luo Jianqing’s surnames. It seemed that she didn’t care about their identities.
Friends agreed best at a distance. Luo Jianqing had never seen a woman as graceful as her. His fellow sisters were, on the other hand, tough and strong, almost equivalent to a man, or even two sometimes… His third fellow sister Wei Qiongyin, for example, almost never smiled; the youngest sister Mu Tianxin was even more capricious, winning the favor and love of the whole mountain.
As for other women, Luo Jianqing was not quite familiar, but he could say something about Mu Ruorong anyway, a persistent and self-reliant young girl. Though she was not so fiery as Mu Tianxin, she was by no means any lady from cultured family.
In private, Luo Jianqing sent a message to Xuan Lingzi in mind, “The ordinary people have their own joys of life. Mrs. Lin is the most gentle and dignified lady I have ever seen.”
Xuan Lingzi raised his eyes and glimpsed at them, asking, “Why?”
Luo Jianqing explained, “Mrs. Lin gives us a ride yet doesn’t ask about our identities, our destination or purpose. She knows how to behave, so liberal and graceful. I bet that her fine dispositions are nurtured in some good family.”
Xuan Lingzi sat closer to Luo Jianqing secretly and said, “Well, she is married, must be a virtuous wife.”
Luo Jianqing, “…” Xuan Lingzi’s words were a little bit strange.
It was a half of month’s journey from Ying Feng City to Sha Du City. Luo Jianqing had intended to walk leisurely with his master, and they could reach the capital within twenty days. Nevertheless, Mrs. Lin’s help indeed saved them a lot of energy. Besides, they could hear a lot of anecdotes about Wu Sha Kingdom from her.
Mrs. Lin didn’t say anything about her identity, but she knew that Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi were not natives, their accents betrayed them, so she told them some costumes and traditions of Wu Sha State. Luo Jianqing was quite interested with those things, and Xuan Lingzi just let him be.
This day, the coach left a town and headed to Sha Du City slowly.
The scenery changed gradually, becoming less inhabited. Surrounded by green rolling hills, Luo Jianqing felt fresh air and delicate smell of grass. Such a view was pleasing.
When they reached the foot of a mountain, Mrs. Lin smiled, “If you want to spend several days in the city, you can walk around. The Wan Hua Pavilion is worth a visit. Many literati gather there, writing songs and poems. It the most “literary” place in the capital.”
Luo Jianqing nodded and asked, “So Sha Du City is a literati-packed city?”
Mrs. Lin shook her head gently, “Not exactly. Wu Sha Kingdom worships martial arts. In the capital, the top warriors and cultivators are the most eye-catching group. The Grand Master of our kingdom is a Nascent Soul cultivator. He can gather the momentum of oceans and flatten a range of mountains in an instant, so we all respect him.”
Hearing that, Luo Jianqing nodded.
A Nascent Soul cultivator was indeed rare for an ordinary country.
It must be noted that once a cultivator decided to go back to mortal world, he would be entangled by so many karmas, so it was extremely hard for him to make any further progress. Therefore, most of the cultivators were not willing to stay in the mortal world, even though they craved for power, they didn’t want to do much for ordinary people. In most cases, cultivators would just stay with cultivators, so less communication happened between them and ordinary people.
Luo Jianqing didn’t know why the Grand Master decided to stay in the mortal world instead of cultivating realm, but that was his personal choice anyways, none of Luo Jianqing’s business.
Mrs. Lin continued, “If you want to visit some cultivators, you can go to the biggest chamber of commerce in the city, Wu Dao Chamber of Commerce, where you can meet a lot of cultivators, and you can also buy anything you like. But, a word of advice, the price there is a little bit high. You can buy necessities at the disciple’s market in the east of the city. The price is fairer there.”
Luo Jianqing beamed, “Thank you.”
Mrs. Lin shook her head with a smile.
After some conversation, Luo Jianqing was about to ask more details about the capital, yet a blare occurred outside. Luo Jianqing hurried opened the curtains and took a look, while Xuan Lingzi sat still and closed his eyes as if nothing had happened.
Mrs. Lin’s face turned pale, “Please stay in couch. I’ll go check what happened. Rongrong, take care of our guests.”
Since the coach belonged to Mrs. Lin, Luo Jianqing didn’t say anything.
Mrs. Lin got off immediately. Luo Jianqing pulled the little girl to his side and sent a message to Xuan Lingzi, “Although my power is restrained, I can sense that there are four Foundation Establishment cultivators and twelve Qi Condensation cultivators outside. The groom was only a middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he can’t handle it.”
Xuan Lingzi turned to Luo Jianqing and asked, “You wanna help?”
Luo Jianqing smiled and hugged the little girl, “She has helped us a lot, and obviously she is not an insignificant person, given the things she knows about cultivators.”
Xuan Lingzi didn’t continue, but just relieved some restraint of Luo Jianqing’s power. Now Luo Jianqing was equivalent to early stage Foundation Establishment.
Suddenly, they heard Mrs. Lin’s scold outside, “Whoever sends you here should know who I am. If my grandfather knows you block my way today, you know the consequences.”
A man laughed rudely, “Zhao Yue, you still think yourself as the noble lady of Zhao Family, don’t you? When you eloped with that vulgar tike Lin, you should know your consequences! Now that churl has died, how dare you return to Sha Du city? You really should have stayed in Ying Feng City and kept your life. But since you’re courting death, I will give you a hand!”
Mrs. Lin asked calmly, “So who sends you here? My senior brother, third brother, fourth sister or nineth sister?”
“You can ask them in the lower world then.”
