nSpiritual Liquid

nThen there came a sound. “Brother Zhou Yun!”

nZhou Yun turned around and saw Qiao’er looking at him with a smile.

nLooking at the young and beautiful Qiao’er, Zhou Yun almost lost himself in her.

nToday, Qiao’er was wearing a red dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist, perfectly showing off her slim waist. Her fair skin was as tender as a freshly peeled egg, and her big eyes were shining like stars.

nEveryone also heard the clear and pleasant sound and turned their heads to look.

nThey were instantly attracted by Qiao’er’s gorgeous smile. That faint smile made everyone swoon.

nThey all thought, “She’s so beautiful!”

nUnder everyone’s watchful eyes, Qiao’er started to run happily.

nHer smooth and tender legs under the dress attracted everyone’s attention.

nMany gazes followed Qiao’er’s figure. As they looked at the graceful young girl whose dress fluttered in the wind, everyone fell in love at this moment.

nThen, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qiao’er threw herself into Zhou Yun’s arms.

nIn an instant, time seemed to have stopped, and the happy smile on everyone’s face froze.

nCrack!

nEveryone seemed to hear their hearts breaking.

nCountless people felt that the love that had just risen in their hearts was disappeared at this moment.

n…

nQiao’er said, “Brother Zhou Yun, what a coincidence to see you again!”

nShe ignored the heartbroken crowd and greeted Zhou Yun with a smile.

nZhou Yun said, “Yeah, what a coincidence.”

nIn contrast to the excited Qiao’er, Zhou Yun was a little embarrassed.

nEver since he had saved Qiao’er and brought her to Spirit Valley, Qiao’er had always said that she wanted to marry him and have his children when she grew up.

nIt was fine in the first few years. Although Qiao’er always stuck to him, everyone thought that they were siblings.

nHowever, in the past two years, Qiao’er had become more and more beautiful, and she had become more and more intimate with him. Now, she even wanted to hug him whenever they met.

nZhou Yun could not help but doubt that Qiao’er was starting to achieve her goal of marrying him and bearing his children.

nZhou Yun felt helpless. Qiao’er was only 15 years old. In a few years, what else would she do?

nZhou Yun said, “Qiao’er, can you let me go before we talk?”

nHe looked around and realized that everyone was gritting their teeth and glaring at him.

nHe had no doubt that if Qiao’er continued to hug him like this, the crowd would definitely surround him and beat him up.

nQiao’er said, “Oh, I forgot!”

nShe suddenly remembered that she was still hugging Zhou Yun, and her face immediately turned red.

nAfter the two of them let go, Qiao’er quickly changed the topic.

nShe asked, “Brother Zhou Yun, what are you doing here?”

nZhou Yun lowered his head and gestured to the things in his arms.

nOnly then did Qiao’er realize that Zhou Yun was holding dozens of books in his arms. She was instantly stunned.

nShe asked in confusion, “Brother Zhou Yun, are you going to sell books?”

nShe blinked her big eyes.

nZhou Yun said, “These are the cultivation technique books that Elder Han chose for me. I’ll take them back and take a look!”

n“But these are too many!” Qiao’er stared at the book in Zhou Yun’s arms in a daze.

nShe thought, “No wonder Brother Zhou Yun’s arms were so hard. It was because of these books.”

nZhou Yun said, “It’s alright. Elder Han said that these books are all useful to me.”

n“Oh, really?” Qiao’er turned to look at Han Shuzi. “Elder Han?”

nHan Shuzi had an awkward expression on his face. He had been too happy chatting with Zhou Yun just now and had recommended a few more books in his excitement. Now that he had calmed down, he realized that he had actually given Zhou Yun so many books.

nHan Shuzi scolded himself in his heart.

nThen he explained, “Well, I haven’t chatted with anyone for a long time. So I couldn’t help but recommend a few more.”

n…

nAfter Qiao’er’s selection, the books in Zhou Yun’s arms were finally reduced by a lot. Only a sword technique, a sword control technique, a body-strengthening technique, and some basic cultivation techniques such as the air control technique, the fireball technique, and so on were left.

nQiao’er said, “Elder Han, we’ll take our leave first. Thank you so much!”

nAfter Qiao’er bowed to Han Shuzi, she left with Zhou Yun, leaving Han Shuzi with a pile of books in his arms.

nHan Shuzi said, “Alas, I still have to put the books back in place. Taking care of the Scripture Pavilion is really a hard job. How tired I am!”

nHe looked at the books in his arms and laughed bitterly. At this moment, he seemed to have aged a few decades.

nAt this moment, Ji Ha happened to pass by the Scripture Pavilion and was about to head to the Alchemy Pavilion. Han Shuzi’s eyes lit up when he saw Ji Ha.

nHan Shuzi said, “You, come here!

n“Yes, that’s right, it’s you!”

nJi ha came to Han Shuzi with a dumbfounded look. “Elder Han, are you calling me?”

n“Of course. Is there anyone else on this road other than you?” Han Shuzi immediately reprimanded him sternly.

nThen he said, “Go and place these books in the marked positions according to their types and labels!”

n“But…” Just as Ji Ha was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Han Shuzi.

nHan Shuzi said, “But for what? go!”

nNot daring to refute, Ji Ha could only follow Han Shuzi’s instructions.

nHe said, “Yes, Elder Han!”

nAfter giving the book to Ji Ha, Han Shuzi lay on the recliner with a relaxed face, sipping his tea while sensing his intelligence.

nJi Ha was once again dumbfounded by the pile of books. Looking at the Scripture Pavilion that was as large as ten football fields, he wanted to cry, but he didn’t dare to.

nHe could only curse in his heart. “Which bastard offended Elder Han? From now on, I’m not going to take the path of the Scripture Pavilion anymore! Boohoo!”

n…

nAfter Qiao’er pulled Zhou Yun out of the Scripture Pavilion, the two of them went to the Treasure Pavilion.

nA few days ago, apart from being promoted to a glory disciple, Zhou Yun had also been given special permission by sect master Ling Qingyun to take a magic item from the Treasure Pavilion.

nThe magic items in the Treasure Pavilion could only be owned by disciples of Spirit Valley who had reached the foundation establishment stage.

nAfter retrieving the sword from the Treasure Pavilion, Zhou Yun immediately asked the question in his heart.

nHe asked, “Qiao’er, did you come to find me today for something?”

nQiao’er stuck out her tongue. “Nothing can be hidden from you, Brother Zhou Yun. Have you heard of the inner sect trial?”

n“The inner sect trial?” Zhou Yun had some doubts. He had been an outer sect disciple for the past few years and did not know much about the inner sect.

nQiao’er could see Zhou Yun’s confusion, so she introduced him.

nShe said, “The inner sect trial is a test for the inner sect disciples. It’s basically the same as the test for outer sect disciples, but the difference is that the outer sect disciples may be rewarded with some cultivation resources or something after passing the test, while the inner sect disciples can go to the secret realm after passing the test. It’s said that there’s a kind of spiritual liquid in the secret realm, which can purify the spiritual energy of the human body and strengthen one’s foundation.”

nZhou Yun said, “Really? That sounds pretty good!”

nAfter hearing Qiao’er’s introduction, Zhou Yun immediately became interested. This spiritual liquid could make up for the problem of his innate ability.

nThe two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at Qiao’er’s cultivation area. Seeing this, Qiao’er immediately reached out and hugged Zhou Yun’s arm.

nZhou Yun was engrossed in listening when he suddenly felt a soft touch on his arm. He looked down and was amused.

nAt this moment, Qiao’er was hanging onto his body like a koala bear.

nZhou Yun said, “Qiao’er, let go of me!”

nQiao’er raised her head and looked at Zhou Yun with her big, watery eyes. Her voice became soft and sweet.

nShe said, “I don’t want you to go.”
