Chapter 63 -63: Frenzied Infatuation
Compared to Shen Qinghe’s leisurely pace, Nan Sheng had a much harder time chasing after Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen’s cultivation base was much higher than hers, but he rarely showed it in front of her. However, for some reason today, despite knowing that her cultivation base was lower than his, he still sped on without waiting for her.
“Brother Xiao, I can’t keep up. Wait for me,” Nan Sheng called out anxiously as she saw the distance between them growing.
Xiao Chen looked back at Nan Sheng, saw her lagging behind, and grew somewhat impatient, “I have something to discuss with Brother Changsheng, I will go ahead. You follow with the others.”
Without waiting for Nan Sheng to respond, he sped up, and in the blink of an eye, he was out of sight.
Nan Sheng hadn’t expected Xiao Chen to leave her behind; to the uninformed, it would seem Xiao Chen was in a rush to reincarnate.
She was Xiao Chen’s fiancée, yet he had left her behind. How was she supposed to face others now?
The truth wasn’t far from what Nan Sheng thought; soon some cultivators from their sect flew past her. Seeing her alone, they all asked why Xiao Chen hadn’t waited for her.
Nan Sheng mustered a smile and dealt with those meddlesome folks.
She hoped that Xiao Chen had left her behind to speak with Yan Changsheng.
But was that really the case?
Previously, as soon as Dongfang Wuya showed up, he took Shen Qinghe away. Yan Changsheng didn’t think twice before chasing after them, and soon after, Xiao Chen followed without a word.
She suspected that Xiao Chen’s excuse to find Yan Changsheng was just that—an excuse. The person he was truly after was Shen Qinghe.
The mere thought of this possibility sent her into a jealous rage.
From now on, she must not allow Brother Xiao to be alone with Shen Qinghe. Brother Xiao was her fiancé; if he truly fell for Shen Qinghe and called off their engagement, how would she be able to show her face in the Sky Pole Sect?
Indeed, she finally understood why Shen Qinghe would entice Xiao Chen.
Initially, it was because of her that Brother Changsheng had called off his engagement with Shen Qinghe, turning Shen Qinghe into the laughingstock of the entire sect. It was also because of her, a talented young maiden, that Shen Qinghe was repeatedly brought up for comparison and ridiculed by everyone in the sect.
Shen Qinghe’s attempt to seduce Brother Xiao was nothing more than a way to enact the same kind of revenge, aiming to make her the laughingstock of the Sky Pole Sect.
Without her knowledge, Shen Qinghe must have had secret meetings with Brother Xiao, and she hadn’t noticed at all.
What a vicious woman Shen Qinghe was!
Nan Sheng felt she had discovered the truth and seen through Shen Qinghe’s sinister intentions, so she chased after them with renewed vigor.
Meanwhile, Shen Qinghe was completely unaware that Nan Sheng had suddenly seen her as a romantic rival. With the rare opportunity to be with Dongfang Wuya, she took the chance to ask him some questions about cultivation.
Dongfang Wuya saw that Shen Qinghe wasn’t trying to cozy up to him anymore and that she was only asking about cultivation; he answered her questions willingly.
Shen Qinghe’s mind was fixated on cultivation, and for the moment, she even forgot about her fear of heights. She also took the opportunity to ask about sword control, feeling an urge to learn.
“Can I try to manipulate the Red Lotus Shield Armor? Is that okay?” Shen Qinghe’s eyes, bright and fiery, were filled with anticipation as she looked at Dongfang Wuya.
Dongfang Wuya inwardly sighed that this girl was constantly expressing her adoration for him, and since he could not reciprocate her feelings, he felt it was better to offer her some guidance in cultivation.
When Shen Qinghe saw Dongfang Wuya didn’t say anything, she suddenly remembered they were on their way to the Red Moon Secret Realm. How could there be time to practice Spirit Controlling Artifact during the journey?
Just as she regretted speaking out of turn, Dongfang Wuya replied indifferently, “You may!”
The next moment, he stopped with her halfway up the mountainside.
Shen Qinghe was struck dumb; she hadn’t expected Dongfang Wuya to agree to her presumptive request.
But now that they had stopped, and with a master by her side, she naturally didn’t want to miss this excellent opportunity to practice.
She followed the Cultivation Incantation, trying to manipulate the Red Lotus Shield Armor, but the Shield Armor didn’t budge.
She looked towards Dongfang Wuya, feeling embarrassed, but he had anticipated this situation, “It’s the same as before; your cultivation base is too low to control it. It is a High-Rank Spirit Instrument, and your cultivation doesn’t match. You can’t even master Sword Control, yet you dream of wielding the Red Lotus Shield Armor—it’s like a child wanting to run before they’ve learned to walk.”
Shen Qinghe felt ashamed, “Uncle-Master speaks the truth, I was too rash.”
From now on, she should focus on cultivating diligently and avoid being as reckless as she was today.

“Your ambition isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Not being able to master Sword Control is indeed a weakness. I see that the Spiritual Energy inside you is pure and abundant, and your meridians are smooth, but perhaps your unique physique is the reason for your inability to break through. If you can obtain Snow Bone Grass in the Red Moon Secret Realm, that would be your fortune,” Dongfang Wuya comforted Shen Qinghe with a few words, then drew her in front of him and continued to fly with her on his sword.
Shen Qinghe, however, felt a bit uneasy. She thought that Dongfang Wuya’s action of embracing her waist was too natural and too intimate, making her uncomfortable.
But she was also well aware that Dongfang Wuya harbored no romantic feelings for her—he didn’t even see her as a woman. His embrace was merely because she lacked sufficient cultivation to travel on a sword by herself, forcing him to bring along this hindrance.
Moreover, being afraid of heights and not knowing how to control the sword, if she didn’t hold onto Dongfang Wuya tightly, she could fall from mid-air.
“You don’t need to feel discouraged. Although your breakthroughs are slow, advancing from a mortal to a Cultivator is already your greatest fortune. Cultivation cannot be rushed; this journey to the secret realm is to test your own destiny. If luck is on your side and you obtain an incredible treasure, it will be a significant highlight on your path of cultivation,” Dongfang Wuya spoke all at once, suddenly realizing he was being verbose.
Accustomed to solitude, he felt as if bringing Shen Qinghe along was like carrying an encumbrance, and yet, he also had to be mindful of this encumbrance’s emotions—he surprisingly found himself not to be annoyed.
“Uncle-Master also knows about Snow Bone Grass?” Shen Qinghe’s gaze burned with intensity as she looked at Dongfang Wuya.
Because she was so close, Dongfang Wuya could see the fervent, almost pitiable devotion in the girl’s eyes towards him. His voice softened a little, “Who in the Cultivator World doesn’t know of Snow Bone Grass? That thing can confer immortality to mortals, and transform Cultivators completely. For those Cultivators with a Mixed Spiritual Root, consumption can result in a Single Spiritual Root. Vein Cleansing and Marrow Washing is just its most basic function; it can increase the speed of a Cultivator’s practice dramatically. The Red Moon Secret Realm has appeared in the world for a millennium, yet no Cultivator has been fortunate enough to obtain it. Probably only Heaven’s Chosen Maiden has the chance to possess it. Don’t set your hopes too high.”
Shen Qinghe listened intently but soon felt discouraged again.
Nan Sheng is undoubtedly Heaven’s Chosen Maiden, isn’t she? She is just an early-casualty character, vainly hoping to snatch the Snow Bone Grass from the hands of Heaven’s Chosen Maiden. She was indeed thinking too much.
No matter, she should just maintain an ordinary mindset. It’s not a big deal if she doesn’t get the Snow Bone Grass; the secret realm surely has other treasures. She will encounter something fated for her.
“Does Uncle-Master know what Snow Bone Grass looks like?” Shen Qinghe was a common mortal and couldn’t help but be interested in such a legendary Immortal Herb.
