Chapter 20 The Meaning of Cultivation

Outside the house, the rain was endless. As usual, the Rootless Water came from the clouds.

The Spine Swallowing Beast squatted on the eaves. Rain flowed down from the corner of the Spine Swallowing Beast, forming a small waterfall. The little beast looked into the distance, as if it was protecting the girl in the house from being bullied by lechers.

“Am I that kind of person?” The corners of Xu Chang’an’s eyes twitched slightly. He frowned and said, “Why did you come out in your pajamas?”

He knew Yun Qian’s physique the best. Sometimes, she could catch a cold just by facing a cold wind.

“I want to hear what you said to her.” Yun Qian narrowed her eyes and said, “That child seems to be very interested in you.”

Xu Chang’an covered his face and said helplessly, “I’ll give these words to Miss.”

He originally thought that Gu Qiancheng only looked young, but after interacting with her, he realized that she was very likely only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Who could tell him why a thirteen-year-old had fallen in love with his wife at first sight?

“Miss, I think you should restrain your charm.” Xu Chang’an sighed.

“I’m not charming.” Yun Qian looked out the window at the rain and said slowly, “No one liked me before I met you.”

“Miss stayed on that island all day long. Other than eating and sleeping, there was no one else.” Xu Chang’an narrowed his eyes. “So before I went, who was taking care of Miss? Was it the immortal sect?”

Yun Qian blinked. She looked at the brazier in the corner of the room. “What’s next?”

“Has anyone ever said that you change the topic very stiffly?” The corners of Xu Chang’an’s eyes twitched slightly.

“I’m asking you a question.” Yun Qian looked up.

“Forget it.” Xu Chang’an shook his head. He held the storage bag in his hand and said, “Since I have the storage bag given by Manager Zhu, I’m going to the city to prepare some items to bring up the mountain.”

Chaoyun Sect could buy anything, but it mostly used spirit stones or sect contribution points. Silver was completely useless, so this time, he could use the storage bag given by Zhu Pingniang to buy more daily necessities like wine to bring up the mountain.

Xu Chang’an naturally did not drink usually, but if he could meet Yun Qian often, that would be another matter. After all, Yun Qian had just entered the sect and was still living an ordinary life.

It had to be said that Zhu Pingniang really took good care of him.

Not everyone could afford storage bags. In the Chaoyun Sect, the smallest storage bag was only one cubic meter, but it could only be bought with ten times the contribution points of the Open Source Pill. It was also about the same price as spirit stones.

Therefore, although Xu Chang’an knew that it would be much more convenient to have a storage bag on him, he couldn’t afford it in his hurry to break through.

As an ordinary person who had been recruited into the Chaoyun Sect, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious of those disciples who were born with factions. However, now that he had a vast space given by the system, holding this storage bag was another state of mind.

“Buy something?” Yun Qian asked, “Do you want me to come with you?”

Hearing Yun Qian’s casual words, Xu Chang’an suddenly realized that after he and Yun Qian came to Northern Mulberry City, they had almost never gone out together. Northern Mulberry City was clearly a good place to enjoy themselves, but Xu Chang’an still said, “It’s still raining. I can go by myself.”

Yun Qian looked at the dark rain outside the window and didn’t say anything. After washing up, Yun Qian put on a floral robe and ate breakfast with Xu Chang’an.

Breakfast was quail wontons.

Yun Qian stirred it with a small spoon, and the wontons in the bowl immediately became active. They spun around in the bowl and collided with each other, like ducklings playing in the water under the setting sun. They were very cute. The skin was translucent and as thin as cotton. One could vaguely see the tender red meat filling, which increased one’s appetite.

Yun Qian was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she looked at Xu Chang’an’s bowl. There was an alluring layer of red oil floating in his bowl. Green onions floated on the hot soup. The thick layer of spicy oil made one’s body ache.

“You like spicy food?” Yun Qian asked.

“Sort of.” Xu Chang’an thought for a moment and said, “The weather is cold. It’s a good thing to eat some spicy food to warm up.”

“Didn’t you already cultivate?” Yun Qian reminded him.

“That’s true.” Xu Chang’an pointed at his face. “To be honest, it’s my preference.”

Gu Qiancheng might be right, because cultivating without eating would indeed make one lose a lot of fun.

“I have many desires.” Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian in front of him and stretched out five fingers. Then, he retracted two fingers and said, “I also like money and sex.”

“It’s good to have desires.” Yun Qian nodded and fed Xu Chang’an the wonton in her spoon.

“But cultivation is more important. I know that Miss doesn’t care about cultivation.” Xu Chang’an said, “But I still hope that Miss… will take it to heart.”

“Why is it important?” Yun Qian asked.

“It can improve your physique.”

Yun Qian was interested. She said, “Can it get me pregnant?”

The corners of Xu Chang’an’s mouth twitched, and he thought that she would probably not be able to get over this.

He suddenly said, “It should be able to. At least you won’t lose your strength after fifteen minutes like yesterday.”

“This has nothing to do with my physique. My legs are just weak,” Yun Qian said calmly, making Xu Chang’an feel a little embarrassed.

“So you can’t stand up?”

“What else could it be?”

Xu Chang’an admired his wife in front of him. Looking at her clean and clear eyes, he sighed. “After cultivating, my blood and qi are vigorous. I personally feel that the possibility of getting pregnant is higher.”

“I understand.” Yun Qian nodded and looked up at Xu Chang’an. “I’ll try to cultivate. Are you at ease?”

“With your words, I’m relieved.” Xu Chang’an took a deep breath and said, “The few people who came in at the same time as me are already at the Origin Source Realm. It’s also because my talent isn’t very good and I’m still stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refinement… Otherwise, I would be able to earn sect contribution points much faster after the Origin Source Realm. I can also prepare some spirit fruits for Miss to improve your physique.”

“I don’t quite understand. Cultivation is meaningless to me.” Yun Qian took a bite of the wonton and looked at the young man in front of her. She thought of how he persuaded her to cultivate. She lowered her eyes and smiled.

In the past, cultivation had no meaning, but it was different now.

Cultivation could make Young Master Xu happy.

To be able to let Young Master Xu enjoy the sense of accomplishment brought by the breakthrough was the greatest meaning of cultivation for Yun Qian.

The path would only be interesting if she walked slowly, just like what her husband’s name meant.

At this moment, after breakfast, Xu Chang’an prepared to have a drink. After all, he wouldn’t have the chance to eat with Yun Qian for the time being.

He fetched the yellow wine that the bartender had given him yesterday and drank it like a bowl of water. He felt a sweet taste in his throat.

It tasted good, but it was a little sweet. He should tell the bartender before he left. After all, he had promised to give her advice.

He put down the bowl and realized that Yun Qian was staring at him.

“Miss, what are you looking at?” Xu Chang’an was puzzled.

“I’m just thinking that we still have a lot of time. There are still many things we can do.” Yun Qian looked at the wine in Xu Chang’an’s hand and frowned. “You have many girls around you. Logically speaking… Should I do something?”

Women who were said to be jealous were more likable.
