Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"However, I’m not in love with you yet,"

Bai Ling added, "because I’ve never thought about our relationship in that way before.

So even if what you said is true,

when the time comes, I can obey Master’s command and become your Dao Companion.

But... we can only engage in Dual Cultivation, or as your Buddhist Sect would call it, Charitable Giving.

As for things like kissing or other acts, like what you do with Qing Lian, I probably can’t accept them for now.

It can only be Charitable Giving. For example, during Dual Cultivation, I might just take off my pants.

And I will not be having children with you.

Because having children affects one’s Origin, after all.

I still need to focus wholeheartedly on attaining the Dao. When the time is right, I’ll find a way to reverse heaven and earth and save Master."

Xu Lei was stunned for a moment. Of course, he didn’t object, just nodded.

After all, Bai Ling really didn’t have feelings for Xu Lei.

It would probably be the same even if he revealed his identity as her master.

Because Bai Ling’s feelings for Xu Lei’s past self were only those of a disciple for her master.

It wasn’t romantic love.

Qing Lian, meanwhile, was blinking her big eyes, looking back and forth between them.

She had, of course, already guessed that the "Master" Bai Ling was talking about was likely Xu Lei’s past life. After all, she knew that Xu Lei was the reincarnation of the Ancient Spirit Immortal.

But she couldn’t very well say anything at the moment.

After all, it was clear that Xu Lei didn’t want Bai Ling to know right now.

"Wait, if the Last Words are real—"

At that moment, Bai Ling spoke again, "Is it appropriate for me to be your Dao Companion? After all, don’t you and Qing Lian already have that kind of relationship? Won’t Qing Lian mind?"

She looked at Qing Lian, who was beside her.

"Sister Bai Ling, don’t misunderstand,"

Qing Lian said hurriedly. "Senior and I are not Dao Companions.

Our relationship is completely innocent. We’re just friends.

If you really become Senior’s Dao Companion, I would be overjoyed!

Of course I won’t mind."

"Ah, you’re not Dao Companions?"

Bai Ling asked, somewhat stunned. "Then why were you two... like that before?

Didn’t I see you two? I saw you... doing that for him..."

"That was because I was afflicted by a strange Demonic Qi, right here in my chest,"

Qing Lian explained. "Only Senior’s Phoenix True Flame can help me suppress it.

That’s why I have to have him help me suppress it by massaging the area year-round.

But Senior doesn’t have a Dao Companion.

Every time he helps me, he always gets a little... uncomfortable.

That’s why I help Senior in that way.

It’s a matter of returning a favor.

He helps me, and I help him.

But we are not Dao Companions.

Other than that, we haven’t gone any further. We haven’t even kissed."

"That’s right."

Xu Lei nodded as well. "It’s just as she said."

"I see."

Bai Ling nodded. "No wonder I thought your relationship was a bit strange.

You’re so intimate most of the time,

but you don’t sleep in the same room at night."

"Because we keep it strictly oral,"

Qing Lian said. "Senior is still very respectful of me.

He would never force me to do anything I don’t want to do.

I felt I owed it to Senior, so I did it willingly.

Sister Bai Ling, if you’re willing to become Senior’s Dao Companion, that would be for the best. I’d be able to relax then.

Of course, I might still need to ask Senior to help me suppress this strange energy in the future.

So when that time comes, I hope you won’t mind, Sister Bai Ling.

If you do mind, then when I ask Senior for treatment, you can be the one to... help Senior afterward.

But please don’t stop Senior from treating and suppressing it for me.

Besides that, if I find a Dao Companion I truly love in the future,

I must ask you not to tell anyone about what has happened between Senior and me."

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t."

Bai Ling nodded and said, "Besides, nothing is set in stone yet."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now,"

Xu Lei said. "Let’s go to a restaurant first and have a big meal."

Qing Lian and Bai Ling both nodded.

「Two hours later.」

The three of them arrived at a large restaurant.

Many dishes had already been served to their table.

"It’s been many years since you’ve eaten meat, hasn’t it?"

Xu Lei said, looking at Bai Ling. "You can let loose and eat your fill today.

I’ll use my Phoenix True Flame to purify the impurities from the meat for you. It won’t affect your cultivation."

"Thank you."

Bai Ling’s pretty face flushed slightly as she nodded. Then she extended a fair, jade-like hand and placed it before Xu Lei. "If you would, please."

Xu Lei reached out and covered her palm with his own.

"Senior, I need it too."

At that, Qing Lian also extended her hand, taking Xu Lei’s. "But if you do this, Senior, won’t you have no hands left to eat with?

Sister Bai Ling, in that case, does this mean we’ll have to feed Senior?"

Bai Ling let out a small "ah," her face flushing, but then she nodded.

"It seems so."

Xu Lei said, "Then I’ll have to trouble you both."

Then, Xu Lei held Bai Ling’s soft, jade-like hand and Qing Lian’s delicate little hand.

He circulated his Phoenix True Flame Power into their bodies, helping them refine the impurities from their food.

He sat there, waiting for the two of them to feed him.

One would feed him a bite, then the other would feed him a bite, proceeding in a very orderly fashion.

When they had arrived, there were no private rooms available, so they were seated by a window on the second floor.

Many people saw Xu Lei being fed by a beautiful girl on each side and couldn’t help but feel envious.

"You two should eat too,"

Xu Lei said. "Don’t just keep feeding me."

"After we finish eating, let’s set off for your family home in the mortal world, shall we?"

Bai Ling then said, "I want to see the Last Words that Master left."

Xu Lei’s expression stiffened slightly.

Because he had made the whole thing up on the spot.

He hadn’t had a chance to write the so-called Last Words yet.

’Of course, there would be no problem with him writing his own Last Words.’
