Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 73

The blood moon hung high in the sky.
Whether someone loved astronomy or not, such a rare blood moon was interesting. Bai Moqing took a photo with her phone and casually posted it on Weibo.
This was her first Weibo post. The night sky was deep and dark. The orange-red moon held a ring of pale yellow, and several irregular shadows lay within it, as if there really was a moon palace on the moon.
Xiao Xing set her book aside, got out of bed, and walked to Bai Moqing’s side. “You like looking at the moon?” She reached out and wrapped an arm around Bai Moqing’s shoulders, letting Bai Moqing lean into her arms.
“Thousands of years have passed. Seas have turned into fields, and fields have turned into seas. Only the moon has not changed at all.” Bai Moqing turned her head and looked at Xiao Xing. There was an emotion in her eyes that Xiao Xing could not understand. But very quickly, that emotion was replaced by a smile.
“A-Xing, how much do you still remember about the Eleventh Heaven?”
The topic jumped from the blood moon to the Eleventh Heaven so suddenly that Xiao Xing was caught off guard. Feeling Xiao Xing’s body stiffen for a brief moment, Bai Moqing left her arms and pretended she had not noticed, turning to pull the curtains.
With a light wave of her hand, the curtains slowly closed toward the middle, cutting off the view outside completely.
Xiao Xing looked at Bai Moqing’s side profile. The bright light cast both their shadows onto the curtain, leaving a short distance between them that could be crossed with one reach.
Xiao Xing suddenly thought of Sikou Yan.
About the Eleventh Heaven, Xiao Xing and Bai Moqing only had fragments of memory. Sikou Yan claimed to know all of it.
“What did she say to you this time?”
“She asked whether I wanted to return to the Eleventh Heaven.” Bai Moqing was very honest. She turned and walked toward Xiao Xing, looking into her eyes. There was fear in Xiao Xing’s eyes. Bai Moqing saw it, and her heart stung as if pricked by a needle.
She held Xiao Xing’s hand and smiled to soothe her. “I am not going back.”
Xiao Xing clearly let out a breath of relief. Then she smiled too, hugged Bai Moqing’s head, and leaned against her shoulder. “I was truly afraid you would leave this place with Sikou Yan.”
Thinking of Bai Moqing’s cultivation, guilt and unease rose in Xiao Xing’s heart. During Bai Moqing’s last immortal transformation tribulation, she should have lost her soul completely. Xiao Xing had spent half her cultivation and used the power of nature to force Bai Moqing’s scattered soul back together.
If Bai Moqing faced another tribulation, her soul would likely vanish in an instant.
If Xiao Xing opened a back door during Bai Moqing’s tribulation…
Xiao Xing remembered the oath she had made when she became this world’s guardian. She had sworn with her divine blood to protect this world. If she allowed anyone here to cultivate into an immortal, she would turn to ash.
Unless Bai Moqing skipped the immortal path and became a god directly, she would not fall under Xiao Xing’s jurisdiction.
But Bai Moqing’s divine cultivation had sunk into Fallen God Lake. If she wanted to become a god, she had to leave this place.
After making a decision in her heart, Xiao Xing closed her eyes and spoke with some difficulty. “Xiao Mo, if Sikou Yan has a way to take you back to the Eleventh Heaven, then you… should go with her.”
“What did you say?” Bai Moqing pushed Xiao Xing away, her face full of shock. She suspected she had heard wrong. “You want me to leave with Sikou Yan?”
“Your cultivation is in Fallen God Lake. After you take it back, you can return here.” Xiao Xing’s hand clenched into a fist at her side. She continued, “Once you become a god again, you will not need to face a tribulation.”
Understanding what Xiao Xing meant, Bai Moqing’s expression softened. “Have you forgotten Yun Su? She is a true dragon now. Dragons are best at spatial arts. If we want to go to the Eleventh Heaven, we can ask her.”
Bai Moqing grabbed Xiao Xing’s wrist. With a flash of divine thought, she brought Xiao Xing to Feiyue’s room.
On the bay window, Feiyue was sitting astride Yun Su’s lap. Her left hand gripped Yun Su’s clothes, while her right hand pressed the back of Yun Su’s head. She kissed fiercely and forcefully. Yun Su had both hands around Feiyue’s waist, letting Feiyue act freely on top of her.
Seeing the passionate kiss and hearing their heavy breathing, Xiao Xing held back a smile and said lightly, “We came at the wrong time.”
Her voice was not deliberately lowered, and it drifted into their ears. Feiyue stopped and turned back. Seeing Bai Moqing and Xiao Xing, she was so startled that she immediately let go and stood.
“Why did you two come in?”
They had barged in without knocking and interrupted her good moment with Yun Su. How rude!
She had completely forgotten that she herself had interrupted Xiao Xing and Bai Moqing more than once.
Yun Su slowly opened her eyes. Joy and desire still mingled in her gaze. She wiped the wetness Feiyue had left at the corner of her lips. Her eyes swept over Xiao Xing and Bai Moqing’s faces, then finally met Bai Moqing’s. She stood and asked, “Is there something urgent?”
It was indeed urgent, but not so urgent that it had to be handled this instant. Bai Moqing glanced at the angry Feiyue and smiled. “We can talk when you two are free.”
She pulled Xiao Xing back to their own bedroom.
Feiyue stamped her foot in anger. They did it on purpose. They absolutely did it on purpose.
Then she turned and saw Yun Su smiling at her without anger, gentle and bright. Feiyue grew even more annoyed. She huffed, climbed onto the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and lay down to sleep.
Yun Su was confused. She was smiling so gently. Why was Feiyue still angry?
She hugged Feiyue from behind through the quilt and whispered by her ear, “Yue’er, what is wrong?”
Hot breath fell on the back of Feiyue’s neck. The fine hairs there stood up at once. That place was sensitive and weak for Feiyue. She shrank farther into the quilt and covered her neck.
“Sleepy.”
Hearing that Feiyue was sleepy, Yun Su turned off the light. Dim moonlight came through the window and fell over the bed, shining on the two of them. Yun Su looked at the blood moon, waved a hand to close the curtains, then wrapped an arm around Feiyue’s waist and held her in her arms.
“Good night.”
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Listening to the steady breathing behind her, Feiyue, who had only been throwing a small temper, sighed. She turned, lifted Yun Su’s hand away, pulled up the quilt to cover Yun Su, then placed Yun Su’s hand back on her waist. She burrowed into Yun Su’s neck and whispered in her arms, “I thought you had changed. Who knew you were still this foolish.”
A straight dragon who did not know how to coax a cat.
Yun Su, who was lightly asleep, heard Feiyue’s words. The corners of her lips lifted in a silent smile. After Feiyue fell asleep, Yun Su lowered her head and kissed Feiyue’s forehead.
A cat’s thoughts were truly hard to guess.
Bai Moqing sat cross-legged on the bed. A faint ring of white light slowly appeared around her. Xiao Xing lay beside her, watching Bai Moqing cultivate. Even from the back, Bai Moqing looked beautiful when she was focused.
Her waterfall-like long hair fell smoothly behind her. Her back was straight. Xiao Xing concentrated and sent her divine sense into Bai Moqing’s Divine Terrace. The damaged Divine Terrace was recovering quickly.
The first time Xiao Xing saw Bai Moqing, she had known Bai Moqing was a rare cultivation genius. Others needed years to reach Foundation Establishment. Bai Moqing needed only one month. Others cultivated bitterly to form their golden core. Bai Moqing had easily cultivated to the point of immortal transformation.
If not for the Heavenly Dao laws of this world, Bai Moqing would already have become a god and returned to the Eleventh Heaven…
Something seemed wrong.
Xiao Xing withdrew her divine sense and looked at Bai Moqing. Seeing Bai Moqing focused on cultivation, she glanced at the phone on the bedside table and quietly picked it up.
Xiao Xing rarely contacted Sikou Yan, let alone contacted her first. Looking at the chat box, she hesitated and typed a few words. Before sending them, she deleted everything.
Asking Sikou Yan about the Eleventh Heaven was not a good method.
Xiao Xing closed the chat box and opened Weibo. She remembered Bai Moqing had taken a photo and posted it. The Weibo name seemed to be “There Is a Little Orange Cat at Home.”
She searched the username and actually found it. One post, following 128, followers 5.
With Bai Moqing’s personality, if she followed that many accounts, Weibo must have added them for her.
Looking at the only post, it had 0 reposts, 0 comments, and 0 likes. Xiao Xing tapped into it. The instant she did, dozens of comments suddenly appeared below.
What is your relationship with our Yan Yan?
Oh, the big actress’s same-sex lover?
Beep. Tourist card punched.
Finished looking at the moon and went to bed to talk about life?
Xiao Xing froze for several seconds before realizing what had happened. The two key terms, Yan Yan and big actress, both pointed to Sikou Yan. Xiao Xing was surprised. Bai Moqing had only posted one Weibo. How had these fans found her?
She refreshed the post. In that half minute, the repost count had already reached one thousand, and the comments below had soared to two thousand.
All kinds of questions and ugly comments grew wildly. Among them, one comment had been pushed to the top.
Sikou Yan V: The photo is so pretty.
That cute little tail at the end did not fit Sikou Yan’s usual elegant, cold image at all. Anyone who saw it would think the big actress was in love and acting spoiled toward her lover.
That was not the case at all!
Seeing the words “acting spoiled,” Xiao Xing became so angry her chest felt tight. She followed Sikou Yan’s comment to Sikou Yan’s Weibo page. Sikou Yan’s newest post had reposted Bai Moqing’s Weibo, and when she reposted it, she had added the same ambiguous comment: The photo is so pretty.
With Bai Moqing’s photography skills, where was it pretty?
The entertainment news about the film emperor cheating and committing incest had already become old. There had been no new gossip recently. Once Sikou Yan reposted this, it immediately became a headline. The comments below were even more numerous than on the original post.
Of course, they were also more exciting.
Did you see? The big actress followed one new account. It is this Little Orange Cat.
Do you remember that interview Yan Yan did years ago? The host asked her favorite animal, and she answered little orange cat. Another time, she wore an elegant orange off-shoulder gown on the red carpet and called herself a little orange cat that day.
There is a little orange cat at home? The little orange cat at home is the big actress, right?
Looking at these wildly imaginative fans and netizens, Xiao Xing was speechless. They really could imagine anything. The little orange cat was the little orange cat. What did it have to do with Sikou Yan?
She glanced at Bai Moqing’s phone. Bai Moqing had placed it on the small wall table by the window. Xiao Xing glanced at Bai Moqing too. Bai Moqing was still cultivating. Xiao Xing used spatial retrieval to take Bai Moqing’s phone.
Using Bai Moqing’s Weibo account, she replied under Sikou Yan’s comment in an extremely cold tone:
Hehe.
