Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 35

Outside the building, the wind howled, but it could not cover Bai Moqing’s heartbeat pounding like drums. An Huaigu saw that Bai Moqing’s expression changed after answering the call. She looked shy and timid, like a little woman. An Huaigu’s instincts told her the person who called Bai Moqing was a love rival, and her attention shot up at once.
Just as she was about to ask, Bai Moqing went out.
Was it someone in the company? Remembering that Bai Moqing had gotten out of Xiao Xing’s car that morning, An Huaigu followed her out.
Bai Moqing did not go to Xiao Xing’s office. After leaving, she walked straight toward the restroom. An Huaigu stood at the doorway like a thief, watching. Seeing Bai Moqing enter the restroom, she thought for a moment, then turned to find Xiao Xing.
The blinds in the office were not lowered. Every move An Huaigu made fell into Tang Yue’s eyes. Thinking of An Huaigu hugging a soft-looking, beautiful woman in public, Tang Yue narrowed her eyes.
That restless little tigress had to be caught and put in a cage as soon as possible.
Several stacks of documents sat on the wide desk, all needing Xiao Xing’s signature and approval. When An Huaigu entered, Xiao Xing was so busy she did not even have time to lift her head and glance at her.
An Huaigu stood at the door. After confirming Xiao Xing was in the office, her heart relaxed a little. Good, good. President Xiao was not her love rival.
“President Xiao, I need to go out at ten this morning, so I came to report it to you.”
“Mm.” Xiao Xing answered coldly. Her hand did not stop. After scanning an approval sheet and confirming there were no problems, she signed it directly.
An Huaigu left after speaking. Bang. The soft sound of the door closing came. Xiao Xing lifted her head. She knew exactly why An Huaigu had come in.
Her gaze shifted toward the screen. Bai Moqing walked out from behind it, locked the door, walked to Xiao Xing, and called, “President Xiao.”
“Who is she?” Xiao Xing screwed the cap back onto her pen and looked at Bai Moqing with an expression that said, I do not care, I am only asking casually.
On the phone, President Xiao’s voice had clearly sounded angry. Now Bai Moqing was even more certain why President Xiao was angry. As for who she meant, there was no need to say it outright. It was Ye Gelan, who had just left.
“She is the person I saved before.” Bai Moqing walked around the desk to Xiao Xing’s side and smiled as she asked back, “What relationship did President Xiao mistakenly think I had with her?”
That attitude made Xiao Xing angry. Xiao Xing put down the pen, stood, caught Bai Moqing’s wrist, and pressed her against the edge of the desk. “When she hugged you, you lost focus. Are you telling me she is only an ordinary person you saved?” She stared at Bai Moqing, trying to find the answer in her eyes.
In Bai Moqing’s dark eyes, only Xiao Xing’s figure was reflected.
Xiao Xing had known Bai Moqing for several thousand years, but she had not taken part in every minute and every second of Bai Moqing’s life. Bai Moqing had met many people. Xiao Xing did not know how many people had left marks in Bai Moqing’s heart.
She knew even less whether Bai Moqing had secretly liked someone else.
The moment she thought that might be possible, her heart felt uncomfortable. Seeing Bai Moqing being hugged by someone else without pushing that person away, the possessiveness she had been suppressing rose up uncontrollably.
Xiao Xing leaned close to Bai Moqing. Her breath fell on the bridge of Bai Moqing’s nose. Bai Moqing’s heart froze. Not daring to hide anything anymore, she honestly confessed, “She looks very much like someone. I have lived for several thousand years, and this is the first time I have met someone who looks exactly like another person.”
“Just because of that?”
Bai Moqing nodded. “When I saw her, I was thinking about you. You said we had met many times, but I do not remember you.”
After a pause of several seconds, Bai Moqing asked a question she had always wanted to ask. “There is one doubt in my heart. Xiao Xing, is it that we cannot be together?”
Because they could not be together, Xiao Xing had erased those memories again and again, leaving Bai Moqing with only the hazy memory that she had liked someone, but not that person’s face or name.
“No.” Xiao Xing denied it at once. Her eyes were firm as she looked at Bai Moqing. “We can be together.”
They could be together.
Could be together.
Bai Moqing froze for a moment, then smiled. She turned her hand, broke free of Xiao Xing’s hold, and held Xiao Xing’s hand instead. Her heartbeat and breathing both went wild. “You agreed?”
“Agreed?” Realizing what Bai Moqing meant, Xiao Xing pinched Bai Moqing’s chin and said, “I did not agree.” Carelessly, she revealed a little of the past. “In the past, I was always the one who took the initiative. This time, I will not make it so easy for you.”
Bai Moqing’s heart was in a complete mess. She released Xiao Xing, took the black jade ring from the middle finger of her right hand, and said, “This is my storage ring. Inside are ten thousand top-grade spirit stones. I am giving them all to you.”
If she gave these spirit stones to the little orange cat, that little orange cat would probably cry and shout that it wanted to marry Bai Moqing.
But looking at Xiao Xing’s expression, there was not the slightest change, as if ten thousand top-grade spirit stones were no different from ten thousand rocks in her eyes.
Bai Moqing grew nervous, afraid Xiao Xing would refuse.
Xiao Xing picked up the black jade ring and sent her divine sense inside. It held a vast world with countless heavenly treasures, spirit stones, and pills. In a remote corner, there was also a piece of spiritual land planted with several extinct immortal herbs, glowing with immortal light.
Withdrawing her divine sense, Xiao Xing lifted her eyes and looked at Bai Moqing. “The spiritual energy in this world is growing thinner. Are you truly giving me these top-grade spirit stones?”
Bai Moqing nodded firmly. Xiao Xing took away the spirit stones inside, then put the ring back on Bai Moqing’s hand. “In that case, I will accept all these spirit stones.”
Only after giving the spirit stones away did Bai Moqing remember that Xiao Xing’s cultivation was above true immortal level and did not need many spirit stones. But if Bai Moqing lost these spirit stones, her own cultivation would become very slow.
She suddenly regretted it a little.
But something already given could not be taken back.
Bai Moqing could only comfort herself that there were still hundreds of millions of mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones inside the black jade ring. If spiritual energy was not enough, she could still go to the peak of the Snow Region. The spiritual energy there was rich enough for her to return to the Immortal Transformation stage.
Xiao Xing saw Bai Moqing’s thoughts. She lifted Bai Moqing’s chin and kissed the corner of her lips. “Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave me for more than two days.”
Two days was not enough time to even reach the foot of the Snow Region.
That one kiss made Bai Moqing dizzy and confused. She agreed without thinking. Xiao Xing released her, turned, and sat back in her chair, dismissing her gently. “I still have many forms to approve. You should go work too.”
She changed faces faster than turning a page.
After Bai Moqing left, Xiao Xing secretly smiled. Bai Moqing had given ten thousand top-grade spirit stones in one move. She had almost handed over more than half her fortune.
If Bai Moqing gave gifts again later, what could she possibly give that was more precious than this?
Yun Su wore a thick navy coat and stood before the elevator. Looking at Feiyue in matching couple clothes, she felt uncomfortable. “Feiyue, are we going out like this?”
“Yes.” Feiyue hooked her arm through Yun Su’s. Her face brimmed with a friendly smile. “Qingqing has to work during the day. I am only a little cat, so I do not dare go to crowded places alone. Now that I have you, it is different. From now on, we can go out together.”
“I only want to cultivate at home.”
“Why cultivate? Let us go shopping.”
The elevator arrived. Feiyue released Yun Su and entered. Seeing Yun Su stand still, Feiyue walked back out. “Yun Yun, you do not want to go out with me?” She acted cute at Yun Su.
Yun Su was defeated. “Fine. I will go out with you.”
There was a shopping plaza not far from home. Feiyue brought Yun Su around, buying nonstop. After buying a huge pile of things, she had them all packed and stuffed into Yun Su’s hands. Seeing how happy the little orange cat was, Yun Su unconsciously smiled too.
Thinking that she had not a single coin, Yun Su put away her smile and asked curiously, “Feiyue, where did you get so much money?”
“It is all Qingqing’s.” Feiyue took a card out of her pocket. “Qingqing gave me this card. There is endless money inside.”
As if remembering something, Feiyue leaned close to Yun Su’s ear and whispered, “Qingqing has to earn money to support us, so we must protect her well. Do not think about eating her.”
Yun Su speechlessly held her forehead. “I have never thought about eating her.”
“Good.” Feiyue brought Yun Su onward, becoming happier as they shopped. Her Bai Moqing was the best person in the world. Bai Moqing had taken her in, raised her, and even gave her money to spend.
There was only one bad point. Bai Moqing’s heart had been hooked away by another little vixen.
“Yun Yun, do you think I look like Qingqing’s kept woman?”
The words kept woman instantly drew countless gazes from around them. Feiyue thought about it, then corrected herself. “No, I am the main wife. That little vixen is the mistress.”
Even more gazes gathered around them. Everyone waited for Feiyue to continue, but after waiting for a long time, they heard nothing more.
Suddenly, Feiyue cried out in surprise, “Yun Yun, look! It is Qingqing!”
Bai Moqing also saw Feiyue. She had not expected Xiaosheng Company to be not far from her neighborhood, and even less expected to see Feiyue and Yun Su the moment she came out of the company.
Before Bai Moqing could react, Feiyue had already run toward her. With both arms spread, Feiyue threw herself into Bai Moqing’s arms.
The impact was strong. Bai Moqing stepped back twice and held Feiyue firmly. “Why did you come out? Why are you not staying at home?” After saying that, she pushed Feiyue away.
Feiyue smiled obediently. “I came out to buy things. Qingqing, are you done with work? Let us go home together!” Then she noticed someone beside them looking her up and down.
Feiyue frowned and looked at Bai Moqing with her eyes, asking, Who is this little minx?
Why were there so many people coveting her Qingqing?
Bai Moqing followed Feiyue’s gaze and looked back. Sister An was staring straight at Feiyue, seeming to be calculating something. Bai Moqing turned back and was about to tell Feiyue to leave when An Huaigu spoke first in a faint voice. “Little Bai, is this your friend?” She walked up to Feiyue.
“Mm, yes.” Bai Moqing knew Sister An’s routine. Next, she would start trying to get information out of Feiyue. With Feiyue’s simplicity, it would be easy for her to reveal something. Bai Moqing urged Feiyue, “Go home quickly.”
“You live together?” An Huaigu smiled warmly, not letting Feiyue leave.
Feiyue glanced at An Huaigu. “I am her younger sister. Of course we live together.” She moved closer to Bai Moqing.
“Younger sister? Younger sisters do not directly call their older sister by name.”
“Why do you care so much about someone else’s family?” Tang Yue walked over, caught An Huaigu’s wrist, and forcefully led her away. After walking a distance, she turned back and gave Bai Moqing a smile that said, I took this trouble away.
Great Assistant Tang really was a good person.
Thinking that Sister An and Great Assistant Tang had a hidden conflict, Bai Moqing stroked Feiyue’s head and glanced at Yun Su, who stood far away and had not approached. “You and Yun Su go home. I will come back tonight.”
An Huaigu saw that head-patting action and exploded. Bai Moqing actually liked this kind of delicate, affected little girl!
Then she looked at the dressed-up beast dragging her away, and An Huaigu’s mind completely cracked.
