60: Chapter 60

Four or five people collapsed to the ground, drawing the attention of the surrounding crowd.

Many people gathered around.

As for those two tall women, they kept walking without stopping.

Even though they kept attracting people's gazes.

"Hahaha, Nangong Qing, you are truly amazing. Just with a glare like that, you made them all collapse!"

The slightly shorter woman on the left laughed until she was trembling.

Nangong Qing said with a hint of helplessness, "It's all your fault for insisting on coming here to eat some buffet hot pot!"

"Isn't this for the sake of celebration!"

Miao Lan said with a beaming smile, "Look at you, Cultivating Internal Energy so quickly, such a huge piece of good news must be celebrated! It's just..."

Miao Lan paused, looked at Nangong Qing's face, and said wistfully, "...Why can't I master this Cultivation Technique of yours? I want skin as good as yours too!"

Nangong Qing glanced at Miao Lan and said speechlessly, "With the way you are, fishing for three days and drying nets for two, can that even be considered Cultivating!?"

"Hee hee hee!"

Miao Lan giggled immediately.

Before long, the two arrived in front of the shop.

Zhuoyi Buffet Hot Pot.

"This is the one?!"

Nangong Qing asked casually.

She wasn't very interested in buffet hot pot.

If it weren't for Miao Lan's strong recommendation, she wouldn't have come.

Wouldn't it be better to Cultivate at home!?

As soon as the two walked into the shop, they discovered a few people gathered together, excitedly discussing something.

Nangong Qing's ears were sharp, and she clearly heard the people talking about a big eater.

However, she didn't take it to heart.

Soon, the two paid the bill and entered a private room.

If the two of them were sitting outside, they would likely attract a crowd.

The two quickly brought over some meat and vegetable dishes, and also took some fruits and pastries.

"You say, that Bai Zhu is actually so powerful, is it really achieved through martial arts practice?! Could he be some kind of alien!?"

Miao Lan dropped a piece of meat into the pot, "According to what you said, Spiritual Qi has only been recovering for three months, how could he be able to fly and burrow underground?! Do you think he could be some kind of monster!?"

Nangong Qing looked at her helplessly.

"One moment you say he's an alien, the next you say he's a monster, don't you think that's contradictory!?"

Miao Lan took a big bite of meat and pouted, "What's contradictory about that? Nangong Qing, you've worked so hard and still can't fly or burrow, why should he be able to!?"

Nangong Qing also swished a slice of meat, "I can't compare to him. He is a peerless Genius of the Dao, how could I compare to him!"

"Genius?!"

Miao Lan swallowed the meat and wiped her mouth, "Nangong Qing, you are a Genius too. It's only been three months, and you have already Cultivated Internal Energy. I think you are definitely not worse than him!"

She paused, pouted, and looked at Nangong Qing, "When that time comes, don't abandon me, your sister!"

Nangong Qing looked calmly at the meat slices rolling in the pot.

The matter of her Breakthrough and the birth of Internal Energy actually didn't have much to do with her effort.

What Miao Lan didn't know was that she hadn't just had her Breakthrough recently.

Rather, she had her Breakthrough on the third day after the snowfall that covered the globe.

She would never forget that day.

One morning, just as she woke up, the entire bedroom was filled with water mist.

A single breath made her whole body tremble.

After realizing the benefits, she tried to circulate the martial arts Mind-Cultivation Technique she had persisted with for over ten years.

The Mind-Cultivation Technique, which originally hadn't had much effect, suddenly erupted with miraculous power.

Her body gave birth to Internal Energy, causing her whole being to undergo a transformation.

She was unconscious for three whole days before waking up.

It even frightened her family for a time.

It was also only after waking up that she discovered she was different.

Through understanding, she realized that her state was actually the birth of Internal Energy.

Internal Energy flowed within her body, her physical strength increased greatly, one could say she had boundless strength.

She spent a full two months adapting before she got used to her current power.

It was also only after witnessing Bai Zhu's power today that she understood her own anomaly was nothing, and only then did she set her heart at ease.

However, this also made her more confused.

The anomaly was caused by that potted flower, and that flower was sent over by Ji Yebai.

This...

"Do you think that Bai Zhu is married!?"

Just at this moment, Nangong Qing suddenly heard Miao Lan say this.

She looked up and saw Miao Lan with a lovesick expression.

"..."

Nangong Qing said crossly, "Just a moment ago you said he was a monster or an alien!"

"What does that have to do with anything? He is handsome and can fly and burrow underground, even if he were a monster, I would accept it!"

Miao Lan said righteously.

"He is a Daoist!"

Nangong Qing sipped some water and reminded her.

"So what if he's a Daoist?"

Miao Lan suddenly sat up straight, her chest straining against her clothes, "I've checked, Daoists are allowed to marry! And my figure is not bad at all; it should be more than enough to be a match for him!"

After saying this, she even wiggled her body.

"You actually checked!?"

Nangong Qing's mouth twitched, she put down her chopsticks, and decided to educate Miao Lan on some common knowledge:

"Setting aside the god-like power Bai Zhu has now, even his status is something you cannot match!"

"Status!?"

Miao Lan frowned and asked suspiciously, "Isn't he just the successor of Laojun Temple!? It's just a tourist attraction."

"A tourist attraction!?"

Nangong Qing laughed in anger, "Do you know about the Daoist school?"

"Mm-hmm."

As a person of the Republic, Miao Lan also knew about the Daoist school.

Nangong Qing glanced at her and said, "As far as I know, Bai Zhu is this generation's head Daoist Disciple and the future Daoist Sect Head! The influence of a single word from him is far greater than the combined strength of both our families!"

"Really!?"

Miao Lan widened her eyes.

Watching Nangong Qing nod.

Miao Lan was immediately dejected.

"Forget it, it seems I have no chance, but..."

She changed the subject and continued, "I think you actually have a great chance!"

Nangong Qing rolled her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to become the target of curses from thousands of girls!"

"Tch!"

Miao Lan waved her hand and said, "They wouldn't dare. You are so beautiful now, and you have achieved Major Achievement in your cultivation, who would dare to badmouth you! If they do, just glare at them like this..."

What a character!

Nangong Qing couldn't help but laugh.

...

Leisure time is happy.

Ji Yebai rarely spent a few hours properly strolling around this Tianjing.

He hadn't strolled around here for quite a few years.

Ji Yebai sighed slightly.

Unknowingly, he thought of that beautiful girl again.

Wondering if she was living well in heaven!?

Ji Yebai stared at the starry sky above, lost in thought.

After a long while.

He lightly shook his head, breaking free from his memories.

"Forget it, I've seen what I wanted to see, and I've reminisced enough, it's time to leave!"

Ji Yebai sighed lightly.

Turning around, he slowly walked into the distance.

Thousands of lights, heavy traffic.

Yet Ji Yebai was filled with loneliness.

Strands of distracting thoughts arose, but then immediately receded.

What remained was nothing but a more firm determination.
