Chapter 475 Uh...you're not depressed, are you?!
Xu Wan saw that Xuan Qing remained silent with his eyes lowered after accepting the spirit stones.
Her heart softened, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Xuanqing, what's wrong with you?"
"Uh...you're not depressed, are you?!"
Xu Wan rubbed her head, and suddenly produced a small jade bottle from her palm.
"Xuanqing, take this Mind-Concentrating Pill!"
Without saying a word, she grabbed Xuanqing's hand and placed it in his palm.
Xuanqing lowered his head and stared intently at the jade bottle.
He forced a smile.
"Jinglian, thank you so much."
Xu Wan waved her hand.
"Oh dear, your smile looks uglier than a cry!"
"I was supposed to go to the Wuji Sect with my master today, but he wouldn't allow it."
"I even asked Senior Brother Baiyuan to take me hiking."
"guess what?"
"On my way down the mountain, I discovered a super-sized spirit fruit tree!"
"It's that big, and that spiritual fruit is covered in thorns!"
"It's the king of fruits!"
"But it's a highly nutritious food..."
She gestured with her hands.
"Once you feel better, let's go hiking together!"
Xuan Qing nodded silently.
His gaze, however, fell on her waist.
He could almost see her laughing and chatting as she climbed the rugged rocks, while Bai Yuan reached out to protect her waist.
That senior brother always wore a purple Taoist robe and greeted everyone with a hearty laugh, yet he always managed to catch Xu Wan when she lost her footing.
Xuan Qing's chest tightened suddenly, and the wound on his collarbone throbbed with pain. Even the warmth from the spirit stone could not suppress this excruciating pain.
At this moment.
He longed to hold Xu Wan tightly in his arms.
Tell her that the person he loves is Xu Wan!
But how could I possibly say it?
Now, he is in agony.
I felt that I was not good enough for her.
clap clap clap!
Xu Wan clapped her hands and laughed!
"Oh, right! Senior Brother Baiyuan also said..."
"He said to take it slow..."
As she spoke, Xu Wan's expression turned sorrowful.
“Xuanqing, I know you still blame my master for giving you the Dao-Transforming Powder.”
Xuanqing remained silent, his expression sorrowful.
"But listen to me!"
Xu Wan suddenly grabbed his wrist; her palm was icy cold.
"Xuanqing, I've searched through all the ancient scrolls in the Scripture Pavilion and found thirty-six solutions. You'll definitely be able to cultivate again..."
She spoke more and more urgently, her fingertips almost digging into his flesh.
"If you believe in me, I will meditate with you every day! I will watch over you and guide your spiritual energy..."
At this point, her eyes suddenly reddened, but she stubbornly raised her face.
"Xuanqing, I will definitely be able to help you up!"
"Please trust me, okay?"
"Please stop blaming my master and let's resolve this issue together, okay?"
Xuan Qing remained silent.
“Xuanqing…”
"If you still consider me your master, then don't hold this against me anymore."
The night breeze lifted the window curtains, and the moonlight, like frost, spilled between the two of them.
Xuanqing pressed the jade bottle against his heart.
The coolness of the jade bottle seeped into his skin, while the warmth of the spirit stone in his hand surged through his meridians.
He spoke slowly:
"Jinglian, what if... I can never become an immortal?"
Xuanqing's words, "What if I can never become an immortal?" were like a long sword, piercing her heart.
She took a deep breath, her eyes reddening in the moonlight, yet she stubbornly raised her chin, her voice clear and bright:
"Cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens; how can it be achieved overnight?"
"Senior Brother Baiyuan told me today, 'Take it slow...'"
She loosened her grip on his wrist, but did not step back.
Whoosh!
The night wind ruffled the stray hairs at her temples.
She suddenly pointed to the bamboo tree outside the window.
"Last winter, this bamboo tree was struck by lightning and half of it was gone. I thought it was dead."
"But this spring, new buds sprouted from the scorched marks and grew taller than in previous years."
She lightly touched the jade bottle on Xuanqing's chest with her fingertips, and her voice softened.
"The Mind-Calming Pill can soothe the mind, but what truly heals is life itself."
“I will meditate with you, starting with the shallowest breathing, one breath, two breaths… even if it takes ten or a hundred years, I can wait.”
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
"If you don't believe in 'take it slow,' then believe in this bamboo tree. It waits for the snow to melt, for the wind to warm, and for a spring of rebirth."
"So what if I can't become an immortal? You are still my Xuanqing."
"You are my eldest disciple, and I will never despise you!"
"In the future..."
"I want to take on many, many more disciples..."
Let's work together to make our lives better!
Seeing that Xuanqing did not respond, Xu Wan had no choice but to retreat to the doorway.
The door closed, and the echoes dissipated into the night.
Xuanqing sat alone in the empty room, the jade bottle pressed against his heart, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
The scene changes.
Inside the Quiet Contemplation Pavilion, the candlelight flickered red.
Xu Wan lay on her side on the sandalwood carved couch, her black hair cascading down her pillow like a waterfall, her breathing long and even.
Outside the window, the moonlight, like water, bathed the cobblestone path, and the sound of the pine trees whispered, lulling one into a dream.
Tonight, however, she was exceptionally tired, her eyelids drooping, her consciousness sinking into an endless dream.
Chaoyang Peak.
In the mountains and forests.
She transformed into a white cat with blue eyes.
Under the moonlight, a refreshing mountain breeze carries the fragrance of fruit.
Before my eyes, durians are laden with fruit, their golden, spiky shells glistening with oil and emitting a rich aroma.
The strawberries were bright red and juicy, each one like a piece of agate, glistening with dewdrops.
Even more impressive are the plump and juicy peaches, and the jade-like caps of the Ganoderma lucidum fruit, which adorn the forest and emit a faint fragrance.
The kitten ran happily over, its pink paws deftly peeling open the durian's outer shell to reveal the golden flesh. It licked it, finding it soft, sweet, and delicious.
After a while.
The kitten pounced on the strawberry bushes again. The bright red fruit melted in its mouth, sweet and sour, and it squinted and hummed softly.
The peach is sweet and juicy, while the lingzhi fruit is slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste.
Such delicious food made the kitten roll around on the soft grass, its tail held high, carefree, its laughter turning into a gentle breeze in the forest.
Just as I was enjoying myself, I suddenly felt a pain and itching at the tip of my tail.
A second cat tail quietly emerged, its fur as white as clouds.
The kitten let out a startled cry.
meow~
It happily flicked its two tails, its body shimmering with a soft silver light that illuminated the mountains and forests as it moved.
As the light faded, the kitten transformed into a graceful woman.
She stood tall and straight, wearing a pink dress that revealed her back and waist, with the hem adorned with tiny pearls that swayed gently in the wind.
Xu Wan walked barefoot on the grass, feeling the warmth of the earth, her fingertips lightly touching the hem of her skirt, a smile on her face.
She danced in the moonlight, her toes barely touching the ground, fluttering like a butterfly.
The fallen leaves in the forest twirled around her, her skirt fluttering like a shower of petals.
They danced with such abandon that they lost themselves in the moment.
She closed her eyes and smiled, her arms outstretched like an eagle spreading its wings.
The pine needles rustled, and birds perched on the branches, chirping softly as their accompaniment.
Whoosh!
Xu Wan was dancing with great enthusiasm.
suddenly.
A dazzling golden light descended from the sky, condensing into a tall, slender figure.
Dressed in white, her sleeves flowing gracefully, her hair bound with a jade crown, her features exquisitely beautiful.
The person who came was none other than her beloved master, Yun Che.
Xu Wan slipped and fell to the ground, losing her balance.
Yun Che strode forward and firmly took her hand in his long, slender fingers.
She turned around and met his deep eyes. Her white dress fluttered in the moonlight, which gave him a silvery edge.
"Master~"
She called out joyfully.
Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
She rushed into his warm embrace, rubbing her cheek against his chest.
"Master, you've finally agreed to see me!"
Yun Che gently stroked her hair and whispered:
"Wanwan, you danced so beautifully today."
His voice was like a clear spring, soothing all her anxieties.
His warm embrace reminded her of their first meeting in the demon realm.
Thinking so!
She snuggled even closer!
The delicate fragrance of lotus blossoms lingering around his clothes felt like a reunion after a lifetime.
Xu Wan looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Master, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"
"I thought... you would never talk to me again."
Her voice trembled slightly, and her fingertips gripped the flowing cloud pattern on his wide sleeves tightly.
