Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"If you want to thank someone, thank Senior."

Qing Lian said, "I just helped activate Senior’s Protective Magical Artifact. Senior was still the one doing most of the attacking."

"You helped us first. Isn’t it only natural that we help you in return?"

Xu Lei then said, "How about this? To celebrate your successful revenge, let’s go to a big restaurant and have a feast. All three of us."

Bai Ling was slightly stunned.

Before Bai Ling could say anything, Xu Lei continued.

"Let me be honest with you."

Xu Lei said, "I have the Phoenix True Flame. It can let you eat meat without it affecting your Cultivation at all."

"What?"

Bai Ling was startled and stared at Xu Lei. "You have the Phoenix True Flame?"

The Phoenix True Flame! Her master from her past life had it too!

But she had been alive for decades now and had never seen it again.

That was right. Xu Lei had never told Bai Ling that he possessed the Phoenix True Flame.

After all, it was a Treasure Xu Lei didn’t want too many people to know about.

Besides, Bai Ling had already reached a level of Cultivation comparable to the Bodhisattva Tree Realm, where she could eat meat.

However, Bai Ling herself felt that eating meat still had a minor impact on her Cultivation, so she had adamantly refused to do so.

But seeing how Bai Ling had been so hard on herself, not eating a single bite of meat for the past three years just to save her past self...

Xu Lei’s heart ached for her a little.

That’s why he decided to tell her now.

"That’s right."

Xu Lei directly channeled a bit of the Phoenix True Flame, letting it appear in his hand. "Look, here it is!"

"It’s real!"

Gazing at the small Flame in Xu Lei’s hand, Bai Ling’s beautiful eyes instantly glistened with tears. She asked, "Where did you get it?"

It reminded her of the Phoenix True Flame her master from her previous life had.

It seemed to be just like this.

But when her master died, the Phoenix True Flame on him was already gone.

"I obtained this from an inheritance in a cave."

Xu Lei thought for a moment before saying, "It was passed down from a high-ranking monk of the Buddhist Sect. According to his Last Words, his Dharma name was Hui Chi!"

This was something Xu Lei had suddenly thought of and said intentionally.

This way, he could create a more natural connection with Bai Ling.

It would also be convenient for monitoring Bai Ling’s Cultivation progress and stopping her from doing something foolish in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh at any time.

It would also be easier to borrow Bai Ling’s Creepy Spirit to spy on things.

And it wouldn’t expose his own secrets.

"A cave? A high-ranking monk?"

Bai Ling trembled, asking in disbelief, "The master of the cave was named Hui Chi?"

"Why are you so agitated?"

Xu Lei asked in return, "Could it be that you...?"

"It’s possible we are Senior Sister and Junior Brother."

Bai Ling said, "When I saw your black alms bowl earlier, I thought it looked a bit familiar.

It’s similar to the one my master from my past life used.

But I didn’t think much of it at the time. After all, there are many black Alms Bowl Magical Artifacts in the Buddhist Sect!

But now, it seems we might share a connection!

Because Hui Chi... was my master!

My true master!"

"I see."

Xu Lei said, "Then wouldn’t I have to call you Senior Sister?"

"If what you say is true, then yes! Junior Brother! Where is that cave?"

Bai Ling continued, "Can you take me there? I want to go see it!

By the way, did Master leave anything else behind?"

Xu Lei looked at Bai Ling’s exquisite face, her delicate lips, her fair skin, her full chest, and her long, slender legs.

Moreover, Bai Ling had a special constitution. If he could engage in Dual Cultivation with her, his Power would likely increase much faster.

Bai Ling had said before that she would never seek a Dao Companion.

’But how could such a beauty be allowed to grow old and wither away alone through the years?’

’That would be a terrible waste.’

’If she changes her mind? It’s better for me to benefit than some other guy.’

"Actually, Master also left behind some Last Words."

Xu Lei said with a straight face, "He said that if I ever met a white-haired Female Cultivator, I could make her my Dao Companion.

He wanted the two of us to help and support each other, and walk the path together.

You should remember Master’s handwriting, right, Senior Sister?

If you want to see it, I can show it to you then.

But I don’t have those Last Words with me. I left them at my home in the mortal world."

"What?"

Bai Ling froze, shocked. "Master left behind such Last Words?

Why didn’t he tell me this before he died?

But the situation was urgent back then, so it’s reasonable that he couldn’t say much.

So, Junior Brother, you suspect that I am the person mentioned in the Last Words?

Is that why you’ve been acting this way these past few years?"

Xu Lei nodded with a straight face.

"But why didn’t you say so before? Why bring it up so suddenly now?"

Bai Ling furrowed her delicate brows and muttered to herself, "So for the past three years, you’ve been observing me?

If you felt I wasn’t good enough, or if you didn’t like me, you weren’t going to mention it?

And now you..."

As she said this, her pretty face flushed slightly.

"This is a bit sudden. I’ve never considered the matter of a Dao Companion before, and I never thought of our relationship in that way!"

Bai Ling continued, "But since you’ve said this, you have to show me those Last Words later!

If it’s real—um—if it is Master’s command, I... I will obey!

I will definitely listen to what Master says.

But I must confirm that it is indeed Master’s handwriting!"

Xu Lei, however, was slightly surprised.

’I can’t believe I just made that up on the spot, and Bai Ling actually believed it! She’s even willing to give herself to me!’

’All because of some supposed last will from her master in a past life!’

’She’s just going to become my Dao Companion and let me "Charitably Give" to her like crazy!’

’I can’t believe she’d just obey something like that without question!’
