Chapter 195 : After One Night
Chapter 195: After One Night
With the crowing of a rooster, The Village welcomed a new morning once again.
True Person Mingzhu turned over groggily in bed.
Thinking of the wild night from yesterday, this Golden Core True Person who had lived for eight hundred years now looked like a young girl who had fallen into her first love.
Her face flushed red as she buried her head in the pillow. Even she herself was surprised that she could still feel embarrassment.
After the awkwardness and shame faded somewhat, True Person Mingzhu sat up from the bed… She glanced at the man still sleeping soundly beside her, and her teeth itched with irritation.
She wished she could slap him awake. But when she thought about what identity and attitude she should use to face this man after he woke up, she restrained the impulse. In the end, she decided to go out alone to get some air first.
Although her body had become that of a mortal, the foundation of a cultivator still remained. It had only been one night of interaction, yet her body should not have been this fragile.
Could it be that over these hundreds of years she had focused on Qi Refining and spell techniques, neglecting the Martial Dao, so after becoming a mortal it also manifested in her physical body?
This… did that not mean she might now actually be weaker than that bastard Long Tao lying on the bed?
She did not dare think further. After dressing neatly, she spent quite a while arranging herself in front of the mirror. Only when the redness on her face had completely faded did she take a deep breath and prepare to go out.
“Mmm… True Person…”
Long Tao’s sleep-talking startled True Person Mingzhu so badly that she jumped.
Every time he had called her name last night, she had been tormented. Turning back and seeing that Long Tao was still sleeping soundly, she hurriedly stepped over the threshold, afraid he might really wake up.
However… the moment she stepped outside, she regretted it.
Because the first thing she saw was a striking patch of red — Du Yiluo’s conspicuous long hair.
She was squatting at the doorway, her face wearing a mischievous grin that clearly said I’ve been waiting for this. It made True Person Mingzhu want to immediately retreat back into the room.
“Hey! Don’t go back.” Du Yiluo reacted quickly and grabbed her. “I got up early today just to deliver all my letters first. I’ve been waiting to see the good news between you two, hehe… If it weren’t for this damn place where no one can come out at night, I would’ve definitely come to stir up your Bridal Chamber!”
The beautiful Asura immediately pulled True Person Mingzhu outward, giving her no chance to refuse.
While talking, she dragged her to the well and looked at her with great interest, clearly expecting something entertaining to hear.
What else could there be? True Person Mingzhu turned her face aside. Just… just that sort of thing.
She knew that her face must have turned completely red again.
“That’s it?” Du Yiluo pouted in dissatisfaction. “Where are the details? Don’t worry, I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
Du Yiluo’s stunning face was now full of an expression that made her completely untrustworthy.
True Person Mingzhu did not even need to think — if she said anything, the entire village would probably know by this afternoon. So she clenched her teeth and refused to speak.
“Oh come on, why be so shy?” Du Yiluo bumped her shoulder. “You’re already a Golden Core True Person who’s several hundred years old. You must’ve had countless men before. Why are you acting like a virgin? That’s embarrassing.”
“Who’s had… had men before!” True Person Mingzhu said with both shame and anger. “I… I was still a vir—… th-that… pure until yesterday!”
Du Yiluo’s expression first showed who are you trying to fool, but looking at True Person Mingzhu’s completely flushed face, she finally could not help asking softly,
“You… you’re not joking?”
True Person Mingzhu nodded.
“How did you endure it?”
“I didn’t have that strong of a desire. And the cultivation method I practiced also balances yin and yang, which reduces desires. Th-this is normal, isn’t it?”
“Normal my ass. Even if after the Golden Core you could rely on your cultivation and cultivation method, how did you endure it before forming the Golden Core?”
“I… I just endured it…” True Person Mingzhu’s voice became quieter and quieter. “Anyway… I formed my Golden Core when I was just over forty. And at that time there weren’t any men I liked. Alright… I beg you, stop talking about this.”
Du Yiluo now looked at True Person Mingzhu as if she were a rare species she had never seen in her entire life. After thinking for a moment, she still spoke.
“You know what? If you were in our place, you might’ve been treated as an Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon or a spy sent from the Hungry Ghost Path. Only things from those two places look human yet have no desire.”
“That’s enough! I’m leaving!” True Person Mingzhu made a move to stand.
“Hey! Don’t go, don’t go. I said the wrong thing. Being several hundred years old is nothing — for a woman, this age is exactly the time to roam across the Myriad Worlds. You did nothing wrong. Alright, alright… tell me — how was it last night?”
“Why are you so bored? Why do you keep asking about this?”
“Look where we are. How could we not be bored? Come on… tell me.”
“I’m not telling!”
“Fine, don’t tell. Anyway, I can tell something. You must be the woman of his dreams. So with such a rare opportunity, he must have worked very hard, right?”
Those words made True Person Mingzhu recall everything from last night again. She covered her face with both hands once more.
“Aiya, you’re blushing again.”
“I’m begging you, stop asking!”
Thinking about it made True Person Mingzhu even angrier.
This Long Tao — no wonder his cultivation talent was so poor. It turned out… it turned out that bastard had allocated all his talent to that useless place.
…
Meanwhile, inside the house, Long Tao was still half-asleep.
With a blissful expression, he rolled over and stretched his arm to the side — but grasped nothing.
He finally woke up.
The faint fragrance of the immortal maiden still lingered beside the pillow, but the person herself was already gone. He sat upright with a start, scenes from last night flooding into his mind.
His first reaction was that it had all been a dream. But when he touched the bed that still retained warmth, and remembered that he — who always slept on the floor — had somehow ended up on the bed, he realized it had not been a dream.
Alright… life achievement unlocked. He could die without regrets.
But people… were always unsatisfied.
Just like in his previous life: when he was a child, he had thought having one hundred yuan of pocket money every day would be perfect.
Yet after he grew up and became a proud office worker earning a monthly salary of three thousand, he began complaining about everything and hoping to earn over ten thousand a month.
Long Tao was the same now. In the past he had always said that if he could do that with True Person Mingzhu, he would willingly die. But now that he had achieved that goal, he found he had a new one — to maintain this kind of relationship long-term, and preferably even have a child.
While fantasizing, he finished dressing.
Just as he opened the door to go find someone, he discovered someone unexpected standing outside.
Xin Wushe.
This sword cultivator powerhouse was holding his natal sword, standing there expressionlessly as he looked at him. He said only one sentence:
“Interested in sparring with me?”
