Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 45

The sound of water came from the bathroom. Behind the frosted glass door, a blurry figure stood motionless under the showerhead. Hot water slid from the top of Bai Moqing’s head over her whole body.
The little orange cat lay against the door, trying to use divine sense to secretly look at Bai Moqing’s body. Sadly, a restriction had been set inside the door. When her divine sense entered, all she saw was misty hot air. After pulling her divine sense back, she could at least see a tiny bit of Bai Moqing’s shadow.
She gave a few disappointed aowu cries and complained through the door, “Wu, Bai Moqing, why won’t you let me smell more of the scent on you?”
She still remembered when she had just started cultivating. Whenever she smelled a male cat, she would get excited. But as her cultivation grew, she became more and more indifferent to desire. Even if she saw a male cat’s balls, she could not raise any interest.
People all said demons were loose by nature. But she, a little cat demon, had cultivated into human form and had never experienced sex. Even kissing, she had only kissed Bai Moqing’s cheek, and that had been when she was in cat form.
“Qingqing, can you satisfy one tiny wish of mine?” The little orange cat placed her hopes on Bai Moqing. She took out a jade slip and read the demon cultivation secret method stored inside.
Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and drawing in the essence of sun and moon were ordinary methods of cultivation. On the jade slip of demon cultivation methods, another method was recorded: dual cultivation.
That was right. It meant raising cultivation through mating.
When Bai Moqing finished showering and came out, the intimate scent on her body had been replaced by fresh lemon. The little orange cat changed into human form. She held the jade slip and smiled like spring wind rippling over water.
“What wish?”
Seeing the jade slip in Feiyue’s hand, Bai Moqing remembered something. When Feiyue had first come to her home, she had told Bai Moqing that this world had a Heavenly Dao rule, and that rule was recorded in a jade slip.
Why had Feiyue suddenly taken out a jade slip again today?
Feiyue did not say what the wish was. She smiled and handed the jade slip to Bai Moqing. Bai Moqing hesitated, then reached out.
The moment her finger touched the jade slip, a strand of demon energy rushed out of it and drilled straight toward Bai Moqing’s body. Bai Moqing quickly pulled her hand back.
“What is this?”
This jade slip was not the one from last time.
“The cultivation secret method my mother gave me.” Feiyue looked at the jade slip, then at Bai Moqing’s hand. There was still a trace of demon energy on Bai Moqing’s hand. Feiyue finally reacted. “So this jade slip can’t be touched by outsiders.”
Bai Moqing was speechless. “This is a secret method for your demon race. How can you show it to me?”
Since she could not show Bai Moqing, she could only explain it herself. Feiyue held her own cheeks, her face shy.
“Qingqing, tonight, can I go to your bedroom and serve you in bed?”
A sharp, thin voice drifted out from the TV. “Your Majesty, which consort will serve you tonight?” It happened to follow right after Feiyue’s words.
Bai Moqing glanced at the TV. Drying her hair, she walked around Feiyue. “Can you be a little more diligent like Yun Su?”
Instead of cultivating properly, she watched messy dramas all day. What an unmotivated demon.
“I am diligent!” Seeing that Bai Moqing was about to enter the bedroom, Feiyue quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes. Her attitude was serious and sincere. “I’ll serve you in bed. We’ll dual cultivate…”
The words “dual cultivate” made Bai Moqing’s face instantly darken. “You want to absorb all my cultivation?”
“Wu, no.” Feiyue pressed her lips together in grievance and told the truth. “I just want to mate with you. The scent on you made me go into heat…”
Bai Moqing held her forehead. Only a demon could say words like mating and heat so calmly, naturally, and without any shame.
Looking at Feiyue’s bright, blinking eyes, Bai Moqing sighed and rubbed her little head. “Tomorrow, I’ll take you to a pet hospital and find you a little male cat.”
“A little male cat? I don’t want a little male cat! I want you! I want you, Bai Moqing!” Feiyue pressed down Bai Moqing’s hand on her head. “Qingqing, the scent on you is very attractive to me.”
She rubbed against Bai Moqing’s palm and looked at her shyly.
Bai Moqing felt awkward. How could she tell the innocent Feiyue that the scent on her body had been left after she and Xiao Xing had done those things?
It was truly too embarrassing to say out loud.
But if she did not say it, Feiyue would keep misunderstanding.
“Feiyue, the scent attracting you isn’t my scent. It’s the scent of me and Xiao Xing.” Bai Moqing said it very gently, hoping Feiyue would understand.
Seeing the blank confusion in Feiyue’s eyes, Bai Moqing knew she did not understand. Forget it. If she did not understand, then she did not understand. Bai Moqing withdrew her hand.
“I’ll take you to find Yun Su in a bit. If you focus on cultivation, you won’t think nonsense.”
The stars were dim, and the mountain wind was bone-piercing. When they reached the small stream, Bai Moqing put down the little orange cat and checked the area within twenty li.
Formation flags were buried in all four directions and all four corners. The mountains formed a boundary that cut off this place’s aura. After making sure there was no probing divine sense nearby and that Xiao Xing could not find her, Bai Moqing picked up the little orange cat and took her into the spring eye, entering the barrier beneath it.
Now, only Bai Moqing, Feiyue, and Yun Su knew of this place. Yun Su was cultivating. Sensing Bai Moqing and Feiyue’s auras, she opened her eyes, glanced at them, and said, “You’re here.” Then she continued cultivating.
The little orange cat landed on the ground and ran, then jumped onto Yun Su’s lap. She lifted her head and gave a soft meow. Yun Su could not help laughing. Looking down into those charming cat eyes, she reached out and stroked the little orange cat’s fur.
No more cultivating for now. She would rest a little.
“Yun Yun, don’t you get bored cultivating here?” The little orange cat could not stand loneliness. After keeping Yun Su company for two hours of cultivation, her head was full of thoughts of going home with Bai Moqing.
Pinching the little orange cat’s spine, Yun Su smiled and answered, “I closed my eyes, then opened them, and you all were here. I don’t feel bored.”
The flood dragon and the cat demon chatted now and then. Bai Moqing sat cross-legged more than ten meters away from them.
The God-Slaying Cauldron slowly appeared from inside her body. Characters Bai Moqing could not understand were carved on it. Blue light flashed. Pale gold and white floating words circled round and round, like a spinning prayer wheel. Each turn seemed to chant the scripture once.
Spiritual energy flowed endlessly into the cauldron, then poured from the cauldron into Bai Moqing’s Divine Terrace, washing and tempering her soul.
Yun Su stared blankly at the God-Slaying Cauldron. The God-Slaying Cauldron was the realm-suppressing divine artifact of Qiongcang Secret Realm. It was an object of the gods. How could it become Bai Moqing’s magic treasure so easily?
“Yun Yun, is that cauldron very powerful?” The little orange cat changed into human form and sat beside Yun Su, watching Bai Moqing cultivate with her.
Yun Su nodded. As for exactly how powerful the God-Slaying Cauldron was, no one knew.
The God-Slaying Cauldron had existed when Yun Su was born. At that time, the God Realm had already collapsed. Cultivators called her world Qiongcang Secret Realm, meaning a fallen remnant world of the Cangqiong God Realm.
There were no gods left in the remnant world. Only the God-Slaying Cauldron remained on the divine grounds. Yun Su had taken over the divine palace and stayed beside the God-Slaying Cauldron to cultivate.
She had forgotten which year and which day it happened, but a god suddenly arrived.
Heaven had only nine layers, but that god said she had come down from the eleventh heaven. When she saw Yun Su, she casually pinched her fingers together, and Yun Su turned into a little flood dragon the size of a thumb, trapped in her palm and unable to move.
Later, Yun Su was taken to the Fallen Abyss and became another realm-suppressing object inside Qiongcang Secret Realm.
She and the God-Slaying Cauldron guarded Qiongcang Secret Realm together.
A divine artifact that could suppress a whole world had immeasurable power. Yet now it was Bai Moqing’s magic treasure. Judging from Bai Moqing’s cultivation, the cauldron had clearly become Bai Moqing’s life-bound treasure and was forming countless ties with Bai Moqing’s soul.
Above the barrier, watery light rippled, reflecting the figures of the few people below. Seeing both Bai Moqing and Yun Su cultivating, Feiyue followed and cultivated too.
The dual cultivation method suddenly popped into her mind. Feiyue opened her eyes and secretly glanced at Bai Moqing.
Wu. Bai Moqing was not willing to dual cultivate with her.
Her gaze moved to Yun Su.
Cultivate with Yun Su?
Her body shook, and a wave of cold disgust passed through her. Feiyue quickly pushed away the thought of dual cultivation, breathed in and out spiritual energy, silently recited the demon cultivation formula, and obediently cultivated the old-fashioned way.
The rumors in the company spread fast, but they were ended just as fast. Under Xiao Xing’s orders, the Corporate Management Audit Department investigated the source of the gossip. They soon found that the talk had started from two employees in administration. After learning the situation at the time, the company fired the two employees that very day for slandering coworkers and disturbing company order.
The effect of killing one to warn the rest was very good. No one dared keep talking nonsense about An Huaigu and Bai Moqing having car sex.
However, everyone had a new topic: just how deep were President Xiao’s feelings for An Huaigu? She had made such a big investigation over such a matter and even fired two people.
With two people fired, no one dared gossip openly and boldly like before. But women were women. Gossip was in their nature. Even if tomorrow were the end of the world, it could not stop them from gossiping.
In the break room, while pouring water or making coffee, they could still discuss it. They only spoke more indirectly.
There were only two minutes left before the end of work. Bai Moqing turned off her computer and began organizing the documents on her desk. By the time she finished, it was exactly time to leave.
She had just reached the door and stepped one foot out when An Huaigu called. The timing was perfect.
“Xiao Bai, don’t go home. Wait for me at the company. I’ll take you to Mingdu.”
That morning had been the groundbreaking ceremony for the hotel building. On Xiao Group’s side, only President Xiao and the department vice presidents had attended. An Huaigu and Tang Yue were President Xiao’s assistants, and their rank was also equal to vice president. Bai Moqing was not on the attendance list. For the whole day, only she and the two secretaries next door had been on the top floor.
The groundbreaking ceremony had rank restrictions. But the evening banquet at Mingdu Hotel was different. Vice general managers, directors, and anyone who was not an ordinary employee could attend.
Bai Moqing did not want to attend the banquet. She only wanted to go to the barrier and cultivate with the little orange cat and the little flood dragon. But Sister An had repeatedly told her not to leave, so Bai Moqing could only wait in the office.
At the Mingdu banquet hall, as soon as Bai Moqing followed An Huaigu inside, her gaze was drawn to the most dazzling woman in the crowd. That woman attracted her from head to toe.
Feeling the focused gaze, Xiao Xing turned her head. Her cold eyes instantly softened. Their eyes met, and Bai Moqing walked toward her without thinking.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of Xiao Xing, blocking the space between them. She intimately linked her arm through Xiao Xing’s and called, “President Xiao.” The ending was drawn out, soft and long. She somehow made the title President Xiao sound intimate.
The banquet hall was heated. The unfamiliar woman wore an off-shoulder floor-length gown, as if she were a female star about to walk a red carpet.
The crowd suddenly stirred. Around them, the clicking of cameras rang out. An Huaigu looked closely and cried out in surprise, “Isn’t that Sikou Yan? Why is she here?”
“Sikou Yan?” Bai Moqing turned to An Huaigu. “Who is she?”
“You don’t even know her? She was last year’s Changhua Award Best Actress!”
So she really was a female star.
“Why are you here?” Xiao Xing frowned. Her gaze swept toward Bai Moqing, and she pulled her arm back.
“I’m holding a press conference here.” Sikou Yan smiled gently. Her every move carried elegance. A capable short-haired woman hurried over, her expression anxious.
“Sister Yan, it’s time to go. The reporters will be here soon.”
As soon as the words fell, a group of reporters surged in, breaking the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet hall. Standing in a corner, the Jingke siblings saw that the situation was not right. Jing Tianzong raised a hand and called the hotel manager over. With a dark face, he asked, “What’s going on?”
The hotel manager wiped his sweat. “There is a film press conference in the hall next door at seven thirty. She… she is the female lead.”
Xiao Xing looked displeased. Sikou Yan knew she hated the media and said softly, “Don’t be angry. I’ll leave now.”
She lifted her chin and chest and, under Xiao Xing’s icy gaze and the nonstop flashing lights, left the banquet hall with her assistant in a graceful manner.
Leaving with her was Bai Moqing.
