65: Chapter 65 Sister, have mercy, I'm full.
By the afternoon of the next day, the three of them, including Ye Xiaoyao, finally finished their meditation to Cultivate.
Ji Chanxi's delicate face was pale, the lingering charm still present, with a hint of pain and regret between her brows.
As a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, Liu Yunshuang's Foundation was naturally much deeper than Ji Chanxi's, so she was not as disheveled as the latter.
Instead, her face was flushed like sunset clouds, her skin bright and moist.
Liu Yunshuang supported Ji Chanxi and arrived at the hot spring pool in the backyard.
The two women prepared to soak in the hot spring for a while to wash away the exhaustion from their bodies.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoyao was still lying on the bed.
Having repeatedly ** them, he still needed some time to recover.
— — — —
In the hot spring pool.
Liu Yunshuang leaned against one side of the pool wall, her waterfall-like long hair spreading out in the water like a piece of silk laid out.
She tilted her head slightly, her neck lines graceful, her collarbones exquisite, and the water surface just covered her snow-white chest, rising and falling gently with her breathing.
Water droplets slid down her cheeks, dripped onto her shoulders, and then rolled into the deeper cleavage.
She closed her eyes, her expression relaxed.
The majestic Spiritual Qi from her recent Nascent Soul Breakthrough circulated slowly within her body, blending with the Spiritual Qi of the hot spring, causing her whole being to exude a lazy yet powerful aura.
Ji Chanxi sat opposite her, separated by a faint mist.
Her black hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks and neck, making her skin look even whiter.
She hugged her knees with both hands, resting her chin on them, her eyes unfocused, as if she were thinking about something.
The water surface rippled slightly in front of her chest, occasionally revealing a bit of snow-white curve, only to be quickly covered by the water waves again.
The two just soaked quietly like this, neither of them speaking.
After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Ji Chanxi felt the soreness and exhaustion in her body gradually dissipate.
It was mainly from being tormented by a certain man who didn't know restraint last night and this morning.
She let out a soft sigh, moved her body, and changed to a more comfortable position.
Liu Yunshuang opened her eyes at this moment.
She looked at Ji Chanxi, her eyes gentle, carrying an inquiring tone:
"Chanxi, tell me... should I announce my relationship with Xiaoyao now?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chanxi raised her head and thought seriously.
"Revered Master, I think... now is not the time."
She moved forward, closer to Liu Yunshuang, and lowered her voice.
"Husband is only at the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage right now, his cultivation is not enough to protect himself.
Although we both protect him, what if we are not by his side? What if he encounters danger?"
She paused and continued:
"Besides... Revered Master, you have so many suitors. If they were to know,
that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator has become your Dao Companion, it's hard to guarantee that no one will secretly try to harm him."
Liu Yunshuang frowned slightly and nodded.
This was indeed a problem.
She had just achieved her Nascent Soul Breakthrough, her status was higher, but there would also be more people watching her.
If Ye Xiaoyao were exposed now, he would inevitably become a target for everyone.
Ji Chanxi added:
"There is another point. I achieved Core Formation half a year ago, and Revered Master, you have now achieved Nascent Soul Formation.
If we announce to the public at the same time that Xiaoyao is our Dao Companion, the outside world will very likely speculate...
whether he possesses some kind of special Physique that allowed us to succeed in our Breakthroughs one after another."
This was said very subtly, but the meaning was clear.
The fewer people who know about the Pure Yang Sacred Body, the better.
Once it spreads, those who covet it will probably be as numerous as cow hairs.
After listening, Liu Yunshuang nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Hmm, Chanxi makes sense."
She reached out and splashed the water surface, creating ripples.
"Then I will not announce it to the public for now. I will just say that Xiaoyao is my newly accepted Personal Disciple, and wait until his strength improves further before announcing this matter."
She looked at Ji Chanxi and smiled.
"Let's talk to Xiaoyao later and hear his thoughts."
Ji Chanxi replied with a "Good" and leaned back against the pool wall.
The two soaked quietly for a while longer.
Just then, a sound transmission talisman passed through the Immortal Cave's Restriction and landed gently by the hot spring pool.
Liu Yunshuang raised her hand and gestured, and the talisman flew into her palm.
Injecting Spiritual Qi, Fu Hongxue's voice rang out:
"Revered Master, Disciple Hongxue requests an audience. Regarding the Nascent Soul celebration, the Grand Elder has asked me to come and ask for your wishes."
Liu Yunshuang and Ji Chanxi looked at each other.
"Your Second Senior Sister is here."
Liu Yunshuang said.
Ji Chanxi nodded: "Then... shall we go out?"
"Hmm."
The two rose from the hot spring pool.
Water splashed, and two slender figures stepped out of the water.
Spiritual Qi circulated, instantly evaporating the water droplets on their bodies.
Liu Yunshuang raised her hand and gestured, and a purple long dress flew over. She turned lightly, the hem of the dress spreading out, wrapping around her exquisite figure.
Ji Chanxi also put on a black dress, tied her belt, and smoothed her wet hair.
A moment later, the two were dressed neatly and arrived at the main hall.
Fu Hongxue happened to walk in.
She was still wearing a red dress today, but the style was more formal than usual, and her hair was combed meticulously.
Seeing Liu Yunshuang and Ji Chanxi, a smile appeared on her face, and she bowed:
"Disciple pays respects to Revered Master, congratulations to Revered Master on your successful Nascent Soul Formation."
She turned to Ji Chanxi and called out: "Junior Sister."
Liu Yunshuang nodded with a smile: "Hongxue is here, sit."
Fu Hongxue didn't sit, her gaze sweeping over their faces.
Revered Master and Junior Sister... their complexions are really good.
Their cheeks are rosy, their eyes bright, and even their skin exudes a faint luster, like flowers that have been carefully nourished.
Her little suspicion in her heart became more certain, but she didn't reveal a single bit on her face.
"Revered Master, Junior Sister."
Fu Hongxue's tone was very natural.
"I went to Saintess Peak yesterday, intending to call you both to come and congratulate Revered Master together, but I didn't expect that neither of you was in the Immortal Cave."
As she spoke, she looked at Ji Chanxi, her eyes carrying a question.
"Where did Junior Sister go at that time?"
Ji Chanxi was startled, her cheeks slightly flushed, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Fu Hongxue understood in her heart, but pretended not to see her embarrassment and continued to ask:
"By the way, why don't I see Junior Brother? Is he here?"
Ji Chanxi was even more embarrassed, lowering her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting her skirt hem.
Liu Yunshuang spoke at the right moment, her voice steady and natural.
"Xiaoyao is here. Seeing that he had reached the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage, I, along with Chanxi, gave him some pointers."
"He is still meditating to Cultivate right now, so he didn't come out."
These words were seamless.
Fu Hongxue heard this and secretly curled her lips in her heart.
Pointers on Cultivation?
Pointers in the hot spring pool?
But on the surface, she showed an expression of sudden realization, simply said "Oh", and then changed the subject:
"Revered Master, the Grand Elder asked me to come and ask, what do you think about holding your Nascent Soul celebration in two days?"
Liu Yunshuang nodded with a smile:
"Good, let's set it for three days later."
Fu Hongxue agreed, said a few more details about the celebration arrangements, and then tactfully took her leave.
"Then this Disciple will take her leave first and go report back to the Grand Elder."
She bowed and turned, her red dress fluttering, and walked out of the main hall.
Until her figure disappeared at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, Ji Chanxi breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice:
"Did Senior Sister... notice something?"
Liu Yunshuang looked in the direction Fu Hongxue left, her eyes deepening.
"Your Senior Sister, she has a delicate mind, I'm afraid... she has already guessed it."
Ji Chanxi gently bit her red lips.
"Then what should we do?"
"Let nature take its course."
Liu Yunshuang withdrew her gaze, her tone calm, and said:
"If Hongxue really wants to know, we won't be able to hide it from her. If she asks, we will just tell her the truth."
She paused and added:
"However, looking at her just now... she doesn't seem to intend to clarify it right now."
Ji Chanxi nodded, but her heart was somewhat complicated.
She knew of Senior Sister's feelings for Xiaoyao.
Now with Revered Master added...
This relationship is really getting more and more chaotic.
Liu Yunshuang saw her thoughts, gently patted her hand, and said softly:
"Don't overthink it, things will work out in the end."
She turned and walked toward the depths of the Immortal Cave.
"Let's go, let's go see how Husband is resting, and by the way... talk to him about the celebration."
Ji Chanxi replied and followed.
Sunlight spilled in from the high window, shining on the smooth floor of the main hall.
The two's shadows walked side by side, gradually lengthening.
Outside the Immortal Cave, Fu Hongxue rode a beam of light and flew away from Purple Haze Peak.
She looked back at the silhouette of the Immortal Cave, which was getting further and further away, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Revered Master, Junior Sister...
You are hiding it from me, but I am determined to know.
