Chapter 982: Chapter 979: Returning to the Mortal World
Xu Wendong left the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.
The reason he didn’t kill Kongyuan.
First, was to let him go back and deliver the message.
Second, he wanted those bald monks in the West to wait in despair for the arrival of death.
Because to directly obliterate them would be too merciful.
------
"Wendong, you don’t need to be too sad." In the sky above the Kunlun Mountains, Si Youyou was flying with Xu Wendong and Xu Fan.
She said softly, "I don’t believe your mother has passed away, she has merely turned into someone else’s lantern wick."
"Moreover, a day in the Immortal Realm is a year in the Mortal World."
"It’s only been a little over ten days since she became someone else’s lantern wick."
"As long as you diligently cultivate and ascend to the Immortal Realm, you can completely storm the Western Paradise to find your mother."
Si Youyou’s words instantly dispelled Xu Wendong’s negative emotions, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
Indeed!
As the master said, mother has merely turned into someone else’s lantern wick, she hasn’t died.
As long as he finds her before she exhausts herself, anything is possible.
Si Youyou continued, "However, it’s not without significant challenges to ascend."
"Even though Earth has passed the Age of Dharma Decline, the resurgence of spiritual energy is very slow."
"Unless..."
Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, "Unless what?"
"Unless you enter the Cultivation World." Si Youyou explained, "That is a world rich in spiritual energy, with myriad races. If you can enter the Cultivation World, your cultivation speed will definitely increase a lot."
"Unfortunately, no one knows the way to enter the Cultivation World."
Xu Wendong managed a smile, "As long as there is a one in a billion chance, I will strive for it."
Saying this, he looked at Xu Fan with a doting smile, "Sister Fan, should I take you back to Su Province first?"
"Mm-hmm." Xu Fan nodded repeatedly in excitement. Having left the mundane world for over a year, she also missed her foster parents a lot.
At nine in the evening.
The three of them landed in the Capital of Su Province. After dropping Xu Fan off, Xu Wendong and Si Youyou left, not wanting to disturb the family’s reunion.
"It’s not too late yet, I’ll take Shiniang to buy some clothes first, so that we don’t draw attention wearing traditional robes," Xu Wendong disliked wearing robes, finding them very inconvenient.
Besides, it’s summer now, and even though he was immune to cold and heat, wearing robes still felt uncomfortable.
Si Youyou nodded, following Xu Wendong into a taxi, which then took them to a high-end mall.
Xu Wendong took cash out from the storage space to pay for the cab, then led Si Youyou inside the mall.
Si Youyou had been to the mundane world before but had never shopped in a mall here, feeling a bit overwhelmed upon entering.
She found the clothes here quite novel, but also felt somewhat embarrassed.
Because the summer clothes here exposed arms and thighs, which was somewhat challenging for her, coming from the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.
Nonetheless, she picked out two dresses.
Xu Wendong helped her select a few casual outfits, including sundresses, shorts, and so on.
Besides, he picked out a few pairs of black stockings for Si Youyou.
He was really looking forward to Si Youyou wearing black stockings.
It’s easy to imagine.
A classic beauty like Si Youyou in black stockings would surely have a distinct allure.
Although Si Youyou didn’t understand what black stockings meant, she wasn’t stupid and could feel from Xu Wendong’s intense gaze that black stockings weren’t typical clothing.
Despite saying she’d try them on, she emerged from the fitting room wearing a fresh white V-neck T-shirt paired with sky-blue tight jeans.
A rather ordinary outfit, but on her, it exuded a unique charm.
Especially with her curvy figure, complemented by long, slender legs and a stunning appearance, causing Xu Wendong’s heart to race and memories of their time together to resurface.
Even though Si Youyou was already several hundred years old.
She looked like a woman in her twenties, with a tender, youthful aura.
"These will do, no need to try on others." Si Youyou’s gentle voice echoed out. Initially, she was very resistant to the mundane world’s clothing.
But after trying them, she found them noticeably more convenient than robes.
Except for the thing called a bra in the front, which felt a bit tight.
Xu Wendong paid for the clothes, carrying the shopping bags with Si Youyou out of the mall. Once they were alone, he decisively stored the bags into the storage bag.
"Shiniang, how about I take you to taste some of the Mortal World’s delicacies?" Xu Wendong suggested while his gaze roamed over Si Youyou.
To be frank.
When Si Youyou was in traditional clothing, Xu Wendong never imagined her figure would be so sexy and alluring.
Seeing now, he really wanted to lean in for a kiss!
"Sure." Si Youyou smiled radiantly, appearing very kind, but internally she was already in turmoil.
She could sense the aggressive look in Xu Wendong’s eyes. Although they had engaged in Dual Cultivation before, it was a necessity back then.
But now.
She really didn’t know how to handle the relationship with Xu Wendong.
After leaving the mall, Xu Wendong walked two traffic lights with Si Youyou and found an open-air stall.
The place was bustling; people sat around the stalls, drinking beer, boasting, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
The small crayfish in Su Province were quite famous, and since Xu Wendong loved them too, he eventually brought Si Youyou to a stall that specialized in small crayfish.
Next to it, he ordered some grilled meat, grilled oysters, and two kinds of seafood, scallops.
Besides that, they ordered a bucket of draft beer.
Once the food and drinks were served, he first took a drink of the chilled draft beer, feeling instantly relaxed.
Although Kunlun Mountains Minor World had plenty of fine brews, for him, the beer on Earth not only quenched his thirst but also had the taste of home.
Afterwards, he taught Si Youyou how to peel the shrimp.
Initially, Si Youyou was a bit resistant and didn’t want to get her hands greasy, but after tasting the shrimp peeled by Xu Wendong, she was shocked by its deliciousness.
She stopped worrying about her image and started peeling the shells off the small crayfish, savoring the delicacies of Earth.
However, the spicy taste of the crayfish soon made her lips turn a vibrant red.
They looked tender and alluring, evoking a desire to bite into them.
This was normal since she had never tasted such flavors before, it was somewhat challenging for her taste buds.
Xu Wendong poured Si Youyou a glass of beer, "Here, have a glass of beer, I promise once you drink it, you’ll experience a different kind of joy!"
Si Youyou drank a glass of beer skeptically, the refreshing feeling made her shiver, and she couldn’t help but let out a joyful moan.
At this moment, an unpleasant voice came from the side, "Eat your food, why the hell are you moaning?"
