Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 15

The room was very quiet. Bai Moqing could clearly hear her own heartbeat. Staring at Xiao Xing’s lips, the thought of kissing her grew stronger and stronger.
President Xiao was still drunk. If Bai Moqing secretly kissed her once, she would not know.
Bai Moqing held her breath and slowly leaned toward Xiao Xing, close enough to see every one of her eyelashes and feel the scorching warmth of her breath.
Just one kiss. Treat it as the reward for carrying President Xiao back.
Persuading herself like this, Bai Moqing closed her eyes.
Just as her kiss was about to fall on Xiao Xing’s lips, a cat cry sounded behind her.
“Meow!” It was short and urgent, scaring Bai Moqing so badly she immediately sprang up and away from the pure white, soft bed, away from the drunk woman on the bed who had tempted her into kissing her.
The little orange cat changed into human form with a jealous expression. Pointing at the person on the bed, she questioned Bai Moqing. “Bai Moqing, who is this woman? Why are you with her? Were you about to kiss her just now?”
Three questions in a row made Bai Moqing’s cheeks turn red as burning clouds.
Bai Moqing would rather die than admit she would take advantage of someone’s helpless state. “She is my superior. She got drunk, and I am taking care of her. I did not kiss her.”
“Your face is red. You’re clearly lying!” Feiyue walked up to Bai Moqing, climbed onto her shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and sniffed at her lips. The sound of her inhale clearly entered the ears of the drunk person on the bed.
No one saw Xiao Xing frown.
“There is alcohol on your lips. Did you drink? Or did you get it from kissing her?”
“What nonsense are you saying?” Bai Moqing pushed Feiyue’s hands away and looked back at Xiao Xing. Afraid Xiao Xing might suddenly wake, she pulled Feiyue to the corner of the room and lowered her voice to change the subject. “How did you find this place?”
Feiyue put both hands on her waist and raised her chin. “I came to see which little vixen seduced my Bai Moqing!”
Bai Moqing was confused. “When did I become yours?”
“You agreed to take me in, so you’re mine!”
That logic was pure cat.
Bai Moqing did not want to argue with a cat about ownership. Without another word, she brought Feiyue home and used her overwhelming cultivation to seal Feiyue’s cultivation.
“Bai Moqing, you’re bullying me!” With her cultivation suddenly sealed, Feiyue changed back into the little orange cat.
Whoosh. All her fur puffed up. She glared at Bai Moqing angrily. “You sealed my cultivation! I’ll scratch you to death!” She leaped up, lifted her paw, and swiped toward Bai Moqing’s face.
Bai Moqing caught the little orange cat in one move and pressed her into her arms, gently smoothing her fur. In a tone used to coax children, she said, “Be good. That is my superior, not a vixen. I’ll wrong you for one day. Stay obediently at home. When I come back tomorrow, all right?” She bent down and set the little orange cat back on the floor.
Seeing Bai Moqing was about to leave, the little orange cat stretched out sharp claws and hooked Bai Moqing’s pant leg. “You are not allowed to go!”
“She’s drunk. I have to go back and take care of her.”
“Then undo my seal. I promise I won’t go make trouble for you.” The little orange cat raised a paw and swore. When she pulled away from Bai Moqing’s pants, rip, she accidentally hooked several threads loose.
Bai Moqing glanced at those threads, then looked at the little orange cat. “That is your promise?” She was certain that if she undid the seal, the little orange cat would run off in minutes and scratch President Xiao’s face.
“Then… you’re not allowed to kiss her.”
“…”
Bai Moqing did not know why she had wanted to kiss President Xiao either. It was probably because the alcohol had muddled her brain.
Under the little orange cat’s burning gaze, Bai Moqing raised her hand with a serious expression and promised, “I absolutely will not kiss her.”
The little orange cat withdrew her paw and hid her claws. “Then come back early tomorrow. I’ll wait for you to undo my seal.” She jumped onto the sofa and flopped down limply.
“All right. I’ll come back first thing tomorrow morning.”
The thought of kissing Xiao Xing had been completely ruined by the little orange cat. Bai Moqing looked at Xiao Xing, deeply drunk, and no longer had any improper thoughts. She bent down, took off Xiao Xing’s shoes, then removed her outer coat and trousers.
Xiao Xing’s cheeks were rosy, and a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead. Bai Moqing went to the bathroom, got a wet towel, bent down, and gently wiped Xiao Xing’s face.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Bai Moqing’s wrist.
Xiao Xing opened her eyes and looked at Bai Moqing with drunken haze. In a soft voice, she asked, “Where is this?”
The temperature of her fingertips was very high, burning Bai Moqing’s heart with a tingling feeling. Suppressing the strange sensation, Bai Moqing answered, “This is the hotel room. You got drunk, so I brought you back.”
“Oh.” Xiao Xing raised a hand to cover her forehead and swallowed.
Hearing the swallow, Bai Moqing immediately went to get a bottle of mineral water. She twisted off the cap, helped Xiao Xing sit up, and fed her water.
Leaning in Bai Moqing’s arms, Xiao Xing obediently opened her mouth and drank sip by sip.
Cool water slid down her throat into her stomach. Xiao Xing’s mind cleared a little. After drinking enough, she turned her head and leaned against Bai Moqing’s neck.
Her soft, smooth long hair brushed over Bai Moqing’s fair neck, bringing a tingling itch.
Xiao Xing breathed lightly. Bai Moqing bit her lip hard, screwed the cap back on, turned, and reached to set the water on the bedside table.
She had just pressed down her messy thoughts when the person in her arms tilted her head up and said, “I want to shower.”
She wanted to shower?
She was so drunk she could barely stand. How could she shower?
Bai Moqing imagined that scene, then raised her eyes and glanced at the half-transparent frosted glass. Her body instantly grew hot.
She lowered her head and advised, “President Xiao, you’re drunk. Shower after you sober up.” Then she saw Xiao Xing’s eyes, peach-blossom eyes full of laughter, stealing souls and seizing hearts.
She quickly moved her gaze away, laid Xiao Xing flat on the bed again, and pulled the quilt over her.
Xiao Xing closed her eyes and answered softly, “All right.”
Hearing her steady breathing, Bai Moqing let out a breath.
The next day, Bai Moqing woke on the chaise longue. The first thing she did after waking was turn to look at Xiao Xing.
The bed was empty. Xiao Xing was gone.
Bai Moqing jolted and sat up. Had she slept that deeply? She had not even heard Xiao Xing get up?
“President Xiao?” she called instinctively. No one answered.
Looking at the room, where everything was visible at a glance, Bai Moqing rubbed her eyes. President Xiao had probably gone back to her own room.
After thinking for a moment, she lowered her hands and sent her divine sense to the room next door.
The room was empty. A layer of mist covered the bathroom glass, and the sound of rushing water came from inside.
A naked body stood beneath the showerhead with eyes closed. Fair, tender bare feet stepped on gray floor tiles. Slender legs were straight and long like two chopsticks.
Higher up, past the dense little forest, was a flat, firm waist and abdomen without any extra flesh.
Her gaze could not help moving upward. Free from restraint, the soft chest was full and lifted. The collarbones were clear and defined. Black hair clung tightly to the skin.
President Xiao was showering.
Bai Moqing withdrew her divine sense with a flushed face.
The moment her divine sense withdrew, Xiao Xing curved her lips in a smile. Her finger brushed over her lips, as if savoring something.
This morning, when Xiao Xing woke and turned her head to see Bai Moqing on the chaise longue, everything that happened last night slowly flooded into her mind.
She had been drunk, but she had still had awareness. She knew everything Bai Moqing had done.
Including the thought of kissing her.
After brief thought, Xiao Xing closed her eyes, sealed Bai Moqing’s divine sense, and made her fall into deep sleep.
Rising from the bed, Xiao Xing approached the chaise longue step by step.
Thousands of years were compressed into those few steps.
Xiao Xing looked at Bai Moqing, bent down, held her cheek, and gently stroked it.
Her finger touched those slightly cool lips. Following her heart, Xiao Xing lowered her head and placed a kiss as light as a feather on Bai Moqing’s lips.
She smiled faintly and left the room before Bai Moqing woke naturally.
The sleeping beauty on the chaise longue would not know that while she slept, someone had gazed at her gently and secretly kissed her.
The two met again at breakfast at eight o’clock.
The hotel offered a buffet breakfast, and the restaurant was on the second floor.
Bai Moqing specially chose a corner seat by the window. She knew Xiao Xing liked it.
A glass of milk and a slice of cheese bread. Bai Moqing’s breakfast was very simple.
Xiao Xing’s was even simpler: one bowl of seafood porridge.
Sitting across from Xiao Xing, Bai Moqing quietly lowered her head and nibbled on the bread. Only after finishing did she dare raise her head. Seeing President Xiao with her hair pinned up, Bai Moqing’s heart sped up beyond control, and she lowered her head again.
Xiao Xing saw every look, expression, and movement. Drinking porridge, she asked as if casually, “Last night, how did you find me?”
“You called and told me.” Bai Moqing had already expected Xiao Xing to ask this. While Xiao Xing slept last night, Bai Moqing had taken her phone and called herself, pretending there had been a call between them.
“Did I? Why don’t I remember calling you?”
Xiao Xing took out her phone and looked. The call history showed more than a dozen missed calls from Bai Moqing. At the end, there was a call record from Xiao Xing to her, lasting thirty-nine seconds.
Bai Moqing’s hand under the table clenched into a fist from the nerves of lying. She glanced at the call history and forced herself to stay calm. “President Xiao, you were very drunk last night. Of course you don’t remember.”
“We came back by taxi?” Xiao Xing put her phone back in her pocket and looked up at Bai Moqing. Seeing her nervous appearance, she secretly wanted to laugh.
“Mm.” Bai Moqing nodded stiffly.
“How much was the taxi fare?” Xiao Xing looked careless as she scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.
“Um…” Bai Moqing’s palm began to sweat. She had not expected President Xiao, who usually did not speak much, to have so many questions today. Her mind spun quickly. “The driver saw you were drunk and would only take us for one hundred yuan.”
Xiao Xing lowered her head to hide a smile and stopped interrogating Bai Moqing.
The car was still parked in the Jingke Hotel parking lot. After breakfast and checking out, Xiao Xing took Bai Moqing by taxi to Jingke Hotel.
By pure coincidence, they met Jing Tianzong at the hotel entrance.
Seeing Xiao Xing, Jing Tianzong quickly walked over and warmly greeted her. Strangely, after a couple of polite, flattering words, this man who had always been interested in Xiao Xing began glancing toward Bai Moqing again and again.
An uncomfortable feeling rose in Xiao Xing, as if something belonging to her were being coveted. Without showing it, she used the excuse that she had to return to group headquarters to end the conversation and took Bai Moqing to get the car.
Standing in place, Jing Tianzong narrowed his brows thoughtfully and watched the two leave. Thinking that there was still a cooperation project yet to be discussed, he smiled.
If he discussed cooperation with President Xiao, he should have a chance to talk to her secretary.
“President Xiao, are we going back now?” Bai Moqing fastened her seat belt and turned to Xiao Xing. Xiao Xing seemed to have returned to being quiet and cold. She answered coolly, “Mm.”
After that, Xiao Xing focused on driving and did not speak to Bai Moqing again.
The car turned onto the highway. Bai Moqing suddenly remembered something, and her face changed dramatically. She had forgotten to go home and undo Feiyue’s seal…
