"Want to die?"
As Lu Taobao was feeling proud, he heard a female voice by his ear, and a chilling wind seemed to be blowing on the back of his neck.
Lu Taobao slowly turned his head and saw Na Muzhong standing about a meter away from him, her face grim, glaring at him.
"That..."
Lu Taobao felt his scalp tingle. He had only remembered to get away from Shen Xiaoyan just now, but he had forgotten that Yi Zhixie also had a wife.
What should he do now?
"You all are in pairs, and you only know how to torment me. I'm not a dog, why torment me?"
Lu Taobao closed his eyes and shouted loudly.
"You are a dog, a single dog, to be precise," Shen Xiaoyan corrected him.
Lu Taobao: ...
He was wrong. He should go back and cultivate properly now, instead of being tormented by these people here.
"I'm going back to cultivate. Yi Zhixie, save me a bottle of Fa Ling Shui."
After speaking, Lu Taobao quickly turned around and walked out.
Shen Xiaoyan watched Lu Taobao's resolute figure and wondered if she had spoken too harshly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Taobao stopped abruptly at the screen.
"When I find my wife, I will show off my affection in front of you every day and make you envious."
"Showing affection leads to a quick demise."
Before Shen Xiaoyan could speak, Zheng Wei's faint voice was heard from her side.
Hearing Zheng Wei's words, Shen Xiaoyan chuckled. As expected of her husband, they were truly in sync.
Shen Xiaoyan smiled contentedly and looked at Lu Taobao again, only to see him walking out with somewhat unsteady steps without saying a word.
Only when he turned past the screen did Shen Xiaoyan faintly hear him say, "This is no longer the elder brother and sister-in-law I know. The ancients were truly not wrong..."
Shen Xiaoyan didn't hear the rest of his words clearly, but she knew they must have been spoken in extreme distress.
"Big sister, why aren't you saying anything?" Shen Xiaoyan looked at Yue Qingxin, who was sitting there with a gentle smile, having not uttered a word all morning.
"What I wanted to ask, Zheng Wei has already asked, so I won't say it," Yue Qingxin said calmly.
Shen Xiaoyan didn't understand what Yue Qingxin meant at first, but the next second, she suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Sister, you are the same as Zheng Wei?"
"En, not only me, but A'Han is also the same," Yue Qingxin nodded.
"As expected of you, sister, you're amazing." Shen Xiaoyan said, giving Yue Qingxin a big hug.
She and Zheng Wei had only achieved this effect through cultivation in the spatial realm. Zheng Wei had taken a very short time, but Shen Xiaoyan herself had spent a very long time.
Yet, Yue Qingxin and Sima Han had achieved this effect in just one night outside the spatial realm. Their talent was truly extraordinary.
"Hurry up and give it to me." Shen Xiaoyan released Yue Qingxin and reached out to Yi Zhixie, who was gaping.
Yi Zhixie could no longer hear Shen Xiaoyan's voice. He was completely stunned by the news.
Even in the Sacred Spirit Continent, he had never seen anyone who could cultivate to this extent in one night, to the point of being able to take Fa Ling Shui to awaken their spiritual essence.
Could it be that there were truly so many cultivation geniuses here?
Just like that, someone could awaken their spiritual essence after cultivating for one night?
It was impossible to even think about it. He had thought about taking disciples before, but those people hadn't shown any results even after years of cultivation. They had even complained about him in private, saying he was crazy for making them cultivate such useless things.
If it wasn't for this reason, then there was only one other possibility.
He had truly encountered cultivation geniuses in this realm, and not just one, but four at once.
Could this be the legendary phenomenon of like attracting like, and associating with the virtuous making one virtuous?
This shock intensified when Shen Xiaoming returned from school at noon and spoke of his cultivation results. Yi Zhixie felt his mind profoundly shaken.
"Good." Yi Zhixie clapped his hands to express his excitement.
After speaking, without Shen Xiaoyan and the others urging him, he directly took out two bottles of Fa Ling Shui from his spatial ring and handed them to Sima Han.
After Sima Han thanked Yue Qingxin and Yi Zhixie, he returned to the west wing room, eager to successfully awaken his spiritual essence as soon as possible.
Yi Zhixie and Na Muzhong did not leave. Yi Zhixie kept looking at Shen Xiaoyan, shaking his head and sighing.
"If you have something to say, just say it. What are you doing?" Shen Xiaoyan became uncomfortable under Yi Zhixie's gaze and finally couldn't bear it, asking.
"I was thinking, if you had spiritual veins, you would definitely be the first," Yi Zhixie sighed.
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoyan felt a warmth in her heart.
Yi Zhixie truly thought highly of her.
"Unfortunately, I don't have spiritual veins. But it doesn't matter, I'm still no worse than you," Shen Xiaoyan said with a faint smile.
"That's true," Yi Zhixie agreed.
Shen Xiaoyan felt goosebumps all over her body. Having seen the usually unserious Yi Zhixie speak so seriously, she found it a bit difficult to accept.
"By the way, where did you get injured?" Shen Xiaoyan quickly changed the subject.
When this matter was brought up, Yi Zhixie fell silent, his expression becoming somewhat dejected as he lowered his head.
"He won't say, you tell me," Shen Xiaoyan said, looking at Na Muzhong, regardless of Yi Zhixie's reaction.
Na Muzhong didn't care about the instructions Yi Zhixie had given her not to speak earlier. Since Shen Xiaoyan and the others already knew, there was no point in hiding it.
Thus, Na Muzhong recounted the story of how Yi Zhixie got injured.
It turned out that when they were in the Sacred Spirit Continent, in their sect, there was a person named Bai Ge'er who had grown up with Yi Zhixie.
Bai Ge'er's parents and Yi Zhixie's parents had also grown up together, so their families were old acquaintances.
Because of their close relationship, the two of them could talk about anything and everything.
When Yi Zhixie was over a hundred years old, he met Na Muzhong and fell in love with her at first sight.
Later, after he got together with Na Muzhong, he introduced her to Bai Ge'er.
Originally, introducing one's childhood friend to one's lover was a very good thing, but who would have thought that Bai Ge'er would also fall in love with Na Muzhong at first sight?
Bai Ge'er didn't tell anyone about this, nor did he show any outward signs.
From then on, he devoted himself to cultivation.
Before that, both he and Yi Zhixie were muddled, or rather, somewhat carefree, and had never truly cultivated with focus.
Because their elders doted on them and they had their support, they naturally didn't want to cultivate diligently.
However, Yi Zhixie's talent had always been much better than Bai Ge'er's, so he had always been far ahead.
Although Yi Zhixie found Bai Ge'er's diligence strange, he was genuinely happy for him.
Until 400 years passed, Bai Ge'er cultivated diligently for 400 years, and finally, he had far surpassed Yi Zhixie.
