Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“What dangerous place are you going to?”

Wu Yanhan's eyes stared directly at Xu Ming, her expression very serious.

Xu Ming was a person who really disliked troubling others, unless he had no choice.

So, logically speaking, Xu Ming would never bring Sheng Sheng over for no reason and ask her to help take care of her.

The most likely reason was that Xu Ming was going to some place, and this place was very dangerous.

Xu Ming felt that he couldn't take good care of Sheng Sheng, so Xu Ming brought Sheng Sheng over and asked her to help take care of her.

“Danger…dangerous?”

Listening to the words of this cool older sister, Shen Sheng Sheng was also taken aback, and her little hand gripped Xu Ming's clothes even tighter.

“There's no danger, don't listen to your Sister Yanhan's nonsense.” Xu Ming stroked Shen Sheng Sheng's head.

In recent days, Xu Ming found that stroking Sheng Sheng's head was becoming a habit, and he felt like he was about to rub her head bald.

However, Xu Ming felt that he couldn't completely blame himself.

Whenever Sheng Sheng did something and wanted a reward, she would run over and ask him to touch her little head.

She seemed to like having her head touched by him.

Xu Ming explained: “Sheng Sheng, don't worry, Brother Xu is just going to a friend's place.

It's just that the place where my friend lives is not only a bit far away, but also has various poisonous gases.

Those poisonous gases are nothing to Brother Xu, but Sheng Sheng is still young and it's not so good to go in.

And then, this person of his… he likes to be alone and doesn't want to see other people.

So, Brother Xu can only let Sheng Sheng stay with Sister Yanhan for a while first.”

“Really?” Shen Sheng Sheng was still a little distrustful, always feeling that Brother Xu was fooling her.

“Really.” Xu Ming squatted down, his eyes level with Shen Sheng Sheng's, “When has Brother Xu ever lied to Sheng Sheng?

Doesn't Sheng Sheng believe Brother Xu?”

“I… I believe…” Shen Sheng Sheng nodded emphatically, “Hehe… Come… Come back early…”

“Don't worry, brother said that once he's done with his business, he'll come back to pick up Sheng Sheng.” Xu Ming comforted, “Sheng Sheng, be obedient with Sister Yanhan, understand?”

“Awoo…” Shen Sheng Sheng nodded again.

“Hmph.” Wu Yanhan pouted aside and muttered in a low voice, “You're quite good at coaxing girls.”

Xu Ming raised his head: “Yanhan, what did you just say?”

Wu Yanhan turned her head away: “Nothing!”

Xu Ming: “…”

Xu Ming always felt that Yanhan's mood had been a little bad these past two days.

“Then I'll have to trouble Yanhan to help me take care of Sheng Sheng, is that okay?” Xu Ming stood up.

Wu Yanhan narrowed her eyes: “Helping you take care of Sheng Sheng is nothing, but are you sure you're okay?”

“I'm sure I'm okay.” Xu Ming replied, “I've never lied to you, have I? On the contrary, you hid your identity for a long time.”

“Hmph.” Wu Yanhan turned her head away, “You didn't ask me at the time, so why would I take the initiative to tell you?”

Xu Ming: “…”

Xu Ming felt that what Wu Yanhan said made some sense.

He really didn't ask her at the time…

The main thing was that everyone felt that Wu Yanhan was a bit strange at the time, but no one asked, because everyone thought it was useless even if they asked.

Besides, if he had asked her at the time, would she really have said it?

That's not certain…

“Come back early, otherwise, I'll just assume you're dead.” Wu Yanhan said coldly.

Back in Bloodfloat, everyone had carried out many life-and-death missions, and it wasn't as if a single separation was like a parting of life and death.

Xu Ming smiled and said, “Don't worry, I will definitely come back early.”

“Why?” Wu Yanhan suddenly asked, a bit out of the blue.

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment: “What why?”

Wu Yanhan's eyes looked a little guilty: “Why did you hand Sheng Sheng over to me to take care of? Why didn't you go to that Western Region Saintess friend? She seems to have a good impression of you.”

Xu Ming: “…”

“Didn't I say that we're just using each other? My relationship with her is even a bit of a stretch to call 'friends', how could I possibly hand Sheng Sheng over to her?” Xu Ming felt that Yanhan seemed to be competing with Mo Zhu'er.

Could she still be blaming me for not helping her beat Mo Zhu'er yesterday?

“Alright, alright, I was just saying, why do you look a little guilty?” Mo Zhu'er waved her hand, her expression much more relaxed.

“…”

Actually, Xu Ming was really a little guilty…

But he was seen through just like that?

No way?

Was he showing it that obviously?

“Give me an exact time, how long will you be back?” Wu Yanhan said.

Similarly, Shen Sheng Sheng was also waiting expectantly for Brother Xu's answer.

Waiting without a time limit is the longest.

Xu Ming glanced at Wu Yanhan, then at Shen Sheng Sheng.

He always felt that they were like his wife and daughter, asking him when he would be able to return after going out.

“Five days at most.” Xu Ming gave a time.

In fact, Xu Ming didn't know if he could come back within five days.

But in order to reassure them, he needed to give a deadline.

And he would definitely do his best to come back within that deadline.

Wu Yanhan: “Okay, I'll wait for you for five days, I hope this isn't the first time you've lied to me.”

“I'll try my best.” Xu Ming said in his heart.

“Then I'm leaving, Sheng Sheng's appetite is relatively large, you'll have to ask the Tianxuan Sect disciples to send more food over then.” Xu Ming instructed.

Wu Yanhan rolled her eyes at Xu Ming speechlessly: “Do you think I'll starve her?”

Xu Ming smiled: “That's true.”

“Brother Xu, I'm leaving, Sheng Sheng must stay close to Sister Yanhan and not wander around,” Xu Ming bid farewell to Shen Sheng Sheng and instructed again.

Shen Sheng Sheng nodded reluctantly.

Xu Ming took a few steps back and bowed to Wu Yanhan, both as a farewell and as thanks.

Xu Ming turned and flew away.

It wasn't until Xu Ming's figure disappeared into the horizon, turning into a black dot, that Wu Yanhan and Shen Sheng Sheng slowly retracted their gazes.

In the courtyard, only Wu Yanhan and Shen Sheng Sheng were left.

Shen Sheng Sheng looked at this cold older sister beside her, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Wu Yanhan looked at Shen Sheng Sheng, and was also a little at a loss for a while.

The main thing was that Wu Yanhan had never dealt with children, let alone a special girl like Sheng Sheng.

And now, she had to take care of her…

How should she take care of her?

She seems to be quite afraid of me.

Am I that scary?

“Should I smile?” Wu Yanhan thought in her heart.

Wu Yanhan faced Shen Sheng Sheng, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, trying to make herself smile.

But Wu Yanhan's forced smile made Shen Sheng Sheng subconsciously take half a step back.

Wu Yanhan: “…”

“How old are you?” Wu Yanhan squatted down and asked Shen Sheng Sheng.

Shen Sheng Sheng timidly opened her mouth: “Eight and a half…”

“Eight and a half?” Wu Yanhan confirmed.

Shen Sheng Sheng nodded.

“Usually when you're with Xu Ming, what do you do?” Wu Yanhan tried to figure out the little girl's hobbies.

“Watch mayi…” Shen Sheng Sheng said.

“Watch ants.” Wu Yanhan gradually became accustomed to Shen Sheng Sheng's pronunciation, “Then what about Xu Ming? Doesn't he play with you?”

Shen Sheng Sheng: “Yes… Sometimes…”

“Then what do you usually play?” Wu Yanhan asked curiously.

In Wu Yanhan's view, Xu Ming was actually a boring person, what could he play with Sheng Sheng?

“Watch xingxing…”

“Watch the stars, anything else?”

“Tell stories.”

“What stories?”

“Just… just…”

Shen Sheng Sheng lowered her little head.

Shen Sheng Sheng really wanted to say those stories that Brother Xu told, but Shen Sheng Sheng found that she didn't know how to express them…

Wu Yanhan also noticed that Sheng Sheng had been frowning, looking very troubled, so she changed the subject.

“It's okay, you can slowly tell sister later.” Wu Yanhan said gently, “Do you want to practice boxing?”

“Practice boxing?” Shen Sheng Sheng blinked her big Kazilan eyes.

Wu Yanhan nodded: “Yes, it's boxing, if you practice well, you can protect yourself and also protect others.

In the future, if Sheng Sheng becomes very powerful, your Brother Xu will take you there, and you will also be able to protect your Brother Xu.”

Shen Sheng Sheng's eyes flickered, nodding like a chick pecking at rice: “Want, Sheng Sheng… want… want to practice boxing… want to protect… protect Brother Xu…”

“Okay~” The corners of Wu Yanhan's mouth hooked up, smiling slightly.

Shen Sheng Sheng looked at the smile of this older sister, her eyes blinked, and the vigilance in her heart towards this older sister suddenly decreased a lot.

So this older sister looks so good-looking when she smiles…

“Speaking of which, has Uncle-Master Xu been a bit depressed recently?”

“It seems so, ever since coming to the Tianxuan Sect, Uncle-Master Xu has been a little unhappy.”

“No no no, it's not after coming to the Tianxuan Sect, to be precise, it's after Uncle-Master Xu heard that her younger brother was coming that she became even more silent.”

“Could it be that Uncle-Master Xu and her younger brother have a bad relationship?”

“Probably not, Uncle-Master Xu was only a few years old when she came to the Myriad Sword Sect, even if there were any grudges when she was young, who would still remember them…”

“That's not certain, I still remember when I was six years old, a fatty next door snatched my candied fruit.”

“Uncle-Master Xu isn't as petty as you.”

“Stop chatting, stop chatting, it's not our place to comment on other people's siblings' affairs.”

“Speaking of which, what is Uncle-Master Xu doing?”

“I don't know, probably practicing swordplay?”

“Uncle-Master Xu said to wander around Tianxuan Sect.”

Just as the disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect in the courtyard were chattering, Xu Xuenuo was in front of a waterfall on a mountain peak of Tianxuan Sect.

In front of Xu Xuenuo, the waterfall, like a silver river, plunged straight down, the sound of rushing water echoing through the mountains and forests.

There was a stone in front of the waterfall.

Xu Xuenuo stood on the stone with her eyes closed, holding a clear and slender immortal sword in her hand.

The sword's name was Qingming.

The sound of the waterfall, the sound of the water, the sound of the birds, all sounds entered her ears.

Xu Xuenuo felt everything around her.

And at a certain moment, Xu Xuenuo opened her eyes, held her sword horizontally in front of her chest, and waved it forward casually.

This sword looked very slow, but you couldn't see Xu Xuenuo draw her sword.

In the next instant, the waterfall in front of Xu Xuenuo was actually cut into two pieces.

The waterfall was like a white cloth, neatly cut by Xu Xuenuo, and you could clearly see the rock wall behind the waterfall.

There was not a single sword mark on the rock wall.

Being just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, her control over sword energy had reached a level that most sword cultivators could hardly achieve in their entire lives.

Xu Xuenuo put away her natal flying sword.

The waterfall instantly returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

My cultivation is almost done for today. Xu Xuenuo turned around and walked towards the guest peak.

But suddenly, the long sword in Xu Xuenuo's hand trembled slightly, as if it had received some kind of resonance.

Xu Xuenuo held down the long sword, turned around, raised her head, and looked at the distant sky.

“Where do you want to go?” Xu Xuenuo asked the long sword in her hand.

The Qingming sword trembled even more violently.

“I understand.”

Xu Xuenuo understood the meaning of her natal flying sword and, following the guidance of the Qingming sword, flew directly to that unknown place.

Xu Xuenuo didn't know where the Qingming sword wanted to take her.

But since the Qingming sword developed consciousness, this was the first time it had reacted so strongly.

In the end, the Qingming sword brought Xu Xuenuo to the front of a mountain peak.

This mountain peak was very high, as tall as three hundred zhang, and there were three huge rocks on the top of the mountain peak.

Xu Xuenuo didn't know what this place was.

But through the Qingming sword, Xu Xuenuo felt that this mountain peak contained extremely sharp sword energy, and around this mountain peak, there seemed to be a formation set up, wrapping the entire mountain peak.

Xu Xuenuo slowly landed, came to the foot of the Three Stone Peak, and then waved a sword energy towards this mountain peak.

When Xu Xuenuo's sword energy was about to hit a rock on the Three Stone Peak, the formation activated, and this sword energy was directly destroyed by the formation.

“Buzz buzz buzz”

The Qingming sword was like a girl who saw a beautiful little skirt, constantly clamoring.

“You want to go so badly?” Xu Xuenuo asked.

“Buzz buzz…”

“Alright.” The corners of Xu Xuenuo's mouth curled up, “Then let's go in and take a look!”

As she finished speaking, Xu Xuenuo slashed down with the long sword in her hand.

With just a simple sword, the girl's violent sword energy was like a daytime tiger, smashing the surrounding spiritual power to pieces, and the sword energy pounced towards the Three Stone Peak formation, wanting to tear everything in front of her apart!

This formation was actually cut out with a small gap by the girl.

If it was just a small gap, Xu Xuenuo would definitely not be able to enter it.

But Xu Xuenuo's figure suddenly became extremely ethereal, as if she was wandering between two worlds.

Xu Xuenuo took a step forward and stepped straight in.

On the other side of the Three Stone Peak, Xu Ming, who had just found a large patch of phoenix flowers, raised his head: “Who is this? Such strong sword energy.”

At the same time, on the main peak of Tianxuan Sect, Sect Master Xia He, who was meditating in the courtyard, felt the Three Stone Peak formation being impacted and suddenly opened his eyes.

【The typhoon has passed, it didn't rain much this afternoon, and the evening breeze is quite comfortable.

On a whim, I rode my bicycle to a park for a stroll in the evening, enjoying the evening breeze.

It felt like all the pressure was released at once.

Sure enough, you really need to take some time to go out and take a look.】
