Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 25

Humans were very complicated creatures. Once they gained awareness and thought, even a simple sentence could sometimes be overread.
Just like now. Xiao Xing looked at Bai Moqing’s reply and thought back to Bai Moqing’s tangled expression earlier. She guessed Bai Moqing wanted to act as if nothing had happened.
They were even now.
Xiao Xing told herself that.
But after another thought, that part of Bai Moqing’s memory had already been removed. The memory of Bai Moqing kissing her in the elevator was still there. No matter how Xiao Xing counted it, they were not even.
She stuffed her phone into her pocket and drove toward Bai Moqing’s home.
Halfway there, her phone rang. Xiao Xing glanced at it. Bai Moqing was calling. She let the phone vibrate until the call hung up on its own.
Less than two seconds later, it rang again. It was still Bai Moqing.
Xiao Xing had never known that refusing a call could make someone feel happy. But the person being refused definitely would not feel happy.
Bai Moqing called Xiao Xing five times in a row. The calls clearly went through. Her phone was not turned off, and she was not outside the service area, but Xiao Xing did not answer a single one. Bai Moqing became afraid. President Xiao was truly angry.
Anyone who was suddenly kissed and wanted an explanation, only for the other person not to give one, would be angry. Bai Moqing quickly used her divine sense to find Xiao Xing. She wanted to appear directly in front of her and tell her face-to-face that she had kissed her because she liked her.
If it was not too late.
Thinking about how she had run right after kissing someone in the elevator, she did not seem like someone who was not too late.
The busy streets were full of traffic. People came and went, some hurrying, some strolling slowly. Bai Moqing’s divine sense covered the whole city. Yet Xiao Xing was nowhere to be found.
She was not at the company. She was not by the musical fountain. Bai Moqing and Xiao Xing had separated less than half an hour ago. Unless Xiao Xing had taken a plane out of H City, she had to be within Bai Moqing’s divine sense range.
Remembering that last time, when she met Xiao Xing at the musical fountain, Xiao Xing had told her that her home was nearby, Bai Moqing narrowed the range of her divine sense and focused on searching the streets between the company and the city center.
She was no less serious than when searching for heavenly treasures.
She swept over every inch. She was just short of digging up the ground to look underneath, yet she still could not find Xiao Xing.
That woman had vanished into thin air.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Xing, Bai Moqing quickly answered.
Before she could speak, a clear voice like water came through. “I am outside your home. Come out and get me.”
Without waiting for Bai Moqing to agree or refuse, Xiao Xing hung up.
Xiao Xing’s car had come here several times before. It was a fully automatic, high-end sedan worth at least several million yuan. The neighborhood security guards had a deep impression of her. She was definitely rich.
A rich person coming to their neighborhood, which was only a little higher-end than an ordinary residential complex, made the security guard stretch his neck and look inside. Eighty percent chance she kept a lover here.
Thinking of the woman who had gotten out of her car the last few times, it seemed to be the female homeowner in Building 1, Unit 1, who did not talk much and always seemed closed off. The guard could not help sighing. People these days were different from before. They even liked keeping same-sex lovers.
Hearing that Xiao Xing was outside her home, Bai Moqing swept her divine sense toward the neighborhood gate. Xiao Xing’s car really was there.
Inside the car, Xiao Xing’s left hand rested on the steering wheel as she calmly scrolled through her phone. She did not look at all like she had come to question someone.
Bai Moqing hurried downstairs. Then she remembered there was a little cat demon at home, so she hurried back.
Feiyue sat cross-legged by the window, absorbing the thin essence of moonlight. The air behind her shifted. Just as she was about to cast a demon art to attack, she realized it was Bai Moqing, and her expression froze.
“Bai Moqing, why did you suddenly come into my room?” She patted her butt and stood.
Bai Moqing strode up to Feiyue, looking anxious. “Feiyue, there is something I need to trouble you with.”
“What?” Feiyue blinked, curious and confused.
“A coworker may come over in a moment. Can I trouble you to change back into a cat?” Last time, Bai Moqing had forcefully sealed Feiyue’s cultivation and changed her back into a cat, angering Feiyue so much she had almost scratched Bai Moqing’s face. This time, Bai Moqing did not dare seal her cultivation and turn her back by force.
Feiyue was unhappy. “Am I that unfit to be seen?”
“Ah, no. It is just that my coworker knows I have a cat at home.” Bai Moqing could not explain why, but she was worried about Xiao Xing seeing a woman in her home.
That feeling was especially like she had cheated and kept a mistress, and now the original wife, who had been left alone at home, had come to kill her way to the door.
“Just tell your coworker the cat ran away from home.” Feiyue snorted. She simply was not willing to change back into the little orange cat.
“Fine. Then stay in this room and be good. Do not come out, all right?” Bai Moqing took one step back.
Feiyue nodded and waved with disgust. “This queen still needs to cultivate. Do not disturb me.” She looked as if even if Bai Moqing begged her to come out, she would not go out.
Once Bai Moqing left, Feiyue raised her brows. Hmph. What coworker? Clearly a love rival, someone coming here to steal Bai Moqing from her!
Stay in the room and not go out? Dream on! Bai Moqing was hers. She had to go out and declare ownership and territory. Bai Moqing’s person, Bai Moqing’s house, the cat food on the television cabinet, and everything in this home were all hers!
Bai Moqing appeared at the neighborhood gate. The security guards in the guard room immediately poked their heads out gossiping. Seeing her get into the car at the gate, they looked at one another and laughed. See? It really was that female homeowner.
They had long heard there were quite a few kept women in this neighborhood. They had not expected that quiet woman to be one too.
There were two lanes at the neighborhood gate, one for cars and one for people. The pedestrian lane could be opened with a card or fingerprint. The car lane always had a barrier arm across it. Registered license plates could be recognized, and the barrier arm would open automatically.
Xiao Xing’s license plate had never been registered in the system, so a guard had to open it remotely.
During the routine registration, the guard learned Bai Moqing’s apartment number and her name. He glanced at the two of them with a meaningful look, then let them through.
Bai Moqing lowered her head slightly. Earlier, she had said she would tell Xiao Xing face-to-face that she liked her. Now that she was sitting in Xiao Xing’s car, forget saying she liked her. Even the words President Xiao came out trembling.
Xiao Xing responded with an expressionless “Mm.” Then, like a general giving an order, she said two short and powerful words. “Lead the way.” After that, she did not speak to Bai Moqing again.
After parking, Xiao Xing followed Bai Moqing into the elevator.
There was no one else inside, only the two of them. Bai Moqing secretly glanced at Xiao Xing and opened her mouth, wanting to ask why Xiao Xing had suddenly come to her home. But when she remembered what had happened in the company elevator, she shut her mouth again.
Xiao Xing’s gaze rested on the elevator doors. Bai Moqing’s hesitant look fell fully into her eyes.
The elevator soon reached the twelfth floor. The apartment door was not closed, only left ajar. A push opened it.
“President Xiao, please come in.” Bai Moqing pushed the door open, turned sideways, and made an inviting gesture.
Standing in the entryway, one could see the living room at a glance. The living room was empty. Feiyue was not there. She should truly be obediently staying in her own room.
Xiao Xing glanced at Bai Moqing and walked inside.
At the entrance of the living room, Xiao Xing looked around, and her gaze landed on the kitchen.
Bai Moqing closed the door and had just walked to Xiao Xing’s side when a woman in casual home clothes came gracefully out of the kitchen.
“Qingqing, your coworker is here.” Feiyue carried the tea she had just brewed into the living room. Smiling like the lady of the house, she greeted them, “Do not just stand there. Come sit.”
After seeing Xiao Xing’s face clearly, Feiyue recognized her as the woman who had been drunk on the large hotel bed last time. She snorted in her heart. You want to steal Bai Moqing from me? Too young.
Xiao Xing narrowed her eyes and walked over.
Bai Moqing stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do.
She clearly felt the temperature in the room dropping. A faint oppressive feeling rose, like drawn swords and bent bows.
