Chapter 36 : The Second Female Lead Appears?

“Ye Xuan brother, you misunderstand, I… I saw the spiritual Qi fluctuating and was worried something had happened to you, so I came to check. It wasn’t intentional, believe me, please!” Seeing Ye Xuan showing a look of disgust, Yu Ling’er was completely embarrassed. She hurriedly tried to explain herself to Ye Xuan.

“…” Ye Xuan looked at the fairy-like girl in front of him, who was awkwardly trying to explain her behavior while her eyes couldn’t help but glance over his body. Her words didn’t seem convincing at all. Wasn’t it more appropriate if their roles were reversed in this scenario?

“How much longer do you plan to look?” Finally, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but remind Yu Ling’er.

“Ah, I… I didn’t mean to—!!!” Shouting this, Yu Ling’er ran away in embarrassment. She was mortified, convinced that he had misunderstood her; she wasn’t really looking at his body, or so she kept telling herself. Internally she debated if calling someone much younger her “brother” was also somewhat shameless.

However, more importantly, how could Ye Xuan have entered the cultivation state so quickly and achieved Qi Gathering in less than half an hour? This was truly inconceivable. Thinking this, Yu Ling’er cautiously glanced back at the spiritual spring. There she saw Ye Xuan walking away from the spring, still looking disgusted.

“Oh no, he must think I’m one of those indecent women who peep at men bathing. I’m innocent, I had no intention of peeking…”

“Ye Xuan brother,” Yu Ling’er, ignoring Ye Xuan’s displeased look, excitedly said, “How did you do it? I only recited the Taihua Heart Method once, and you’ve already managed to gather Qi!”

“…” Ye Xuan pretended to be puzzled and replied, “Ever since you froze me, I feel like the world I see has changed. Now, I can see the spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, sense it, and let it enter my body to aid in my cultivation.” As he spoke, Ye Xuan raised his hand and slightly beckoned a strand of spiritual Qi. Instantly, the Qi obediently flew into his hand.

“Hiss—!!!” Seeing this scene, Yu Ling’er was utterly astonished. Although she had previously seen Ye Xuan absorbing spiritual Qi while cultivating, this was different. Now, Ye Xuan was drawing the Qi towards him solely with his affinity for it, without using any sensing abilities. Such a terrifying affinity for spiritual Qi!

However, following her shock, Yu Ling’er’s expression turned guilty. Even though she had now resolved to overlook Ye Xuan’s indifference, pretending not to notice it, she wasn’t truly shameless.

The act of freezing Ye Xuan and planning to kill him, along with the hurtful words she had previously spoken, were barriers she could never cross in front of Ye Xuan. Unless she could earn his genuine forgiveness, she would always feel guilty whenever he brought up these matters.

But after her guilt, she began to wonder. Why could Ye Xuan suddenly cultivate? And with such a terrifying speed? Could it be that Beidou Star Lord ultimately granted him the Immortal Spiritual Roots? Otherwise, it was impossible to explain Ye Xuan suddenly possessing such formidable cultivation abilities. However, Yu Ling’er wasn’t certain about this theory, as even Ye Xuan himself said he didn’t know.

Determined to find out, she said to Ye Xuan, “Brother Ye Xuan, let’s go home.”

“Uh…” Hearing Yu Ling’er’s words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help feeling speechless. “Can you not make it sound so mushy? What do you mean by ‘let’s go home’—!”

“To me, Qingyan Peak is home,” Yu Ling’er said with a smile. “Brother Ye Xuan, are you perhaps thinking of something else? Could it be that you like me, and that’s why you’re having such wild thoughts because of what I said?!!”

Speaking, Yu Ling’er moved closer to Ye Xuan, looking earnestly into his eyes. The eyes are windows to the soul, she thought, determined to let him see her sincerity.

Seeing Yu Ling’er’s demeanor, Ye Xuan involuntarily averted his gaze. He was somewhat uneasy, his acting skills not being top-notch. If Yu Ling’er detected anything amiss, it would be problematic. Therefore, he avoided making eye contact with her.

“Oh~” Noticing Ye Xuan’s reluctance to meet her gaze, Yu Ling’er secretly rejoiced. He’s avoiding my eyes, she thought gleefully, he must really like me.

As Yu Ling’er escorted Ye Xuan back to their residence at Qingyan Peak, a figure stood aloft in the air, silently observing Ye Xuan below. This figure was clad in white, with a cold demeanor, black hair cascading down her back, and a tall, stunningly beautiful appearance. Yet, her face bore an eternal chill, like millennia-old ice, emitting an icy aura despite her lack of expression.

“I’ve been pondering whether I was mistaken. Even if Ye Xuan truly reincarnated, he should be someone with extraordinary cultivation talent, not lacking spiritual roots… The same name and appearance seem too coincidental. I didn’t expect to uncover such a surprise upon deciding to take a closer look. That speed of cultivation can only be attributed to Heavenly Spiritual Roots — I’ve finally found you, Ye Xuan!”

As she thought this, a look of hatred crossed her face. “In this life, I won’t let you off easily,” she vowed. Her already icy demeanor turned even more chilling, as if plunging one into the depths of a frozen hell.

Just then, a notification from the system echoed in Ye Xuan’s mind: “Congratulations, host. The system has detected the second female lead. She is harboring strong murderous intent towards the host. Please exercise caution in your actions—!!”

Ye Xuan: ???!!!
