52: Luo Qingcheng: Am I beautiful?
Li Daoxuan felt that his strength was already sufficient to fight beyond his Realm.
Even if he encountered the evil Cultivators who ambushed him last time, Li Daoxuan felt that he could achieve a quadra kill without any external assistance.
This time, Li Daoxuan’s strength improved without even entering seclusion. If outsiders knew about this, they would surely be green with envy.
Returning to the backyard, the five women were still chatting endlessly. Upon seeing Li Daoxuan return, Luo Qingcheng glanced at him, then immediately stood up in shock.
“You...you...”
This was the first time Luo Qingcheng’s face lost its color, and that thought involuntarily resurfaced in her mind.
But! Alas! There’s not enough time!
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and then each of them stared at Li Daoxuan in surprise.
One must know that these young women’s Cultivation Realms were all above the Nascent Soul Stage, and Luo Qingcheng was even a Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
While they were talking, Li Daoxuan’s Cultivation Realm had improved again? This was just too...
As for why Luo Qingcheng was so surprised, the first time she heard about Li Daoxuan, he seemed to be just a small Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, right?
Even when he left last time, he seemed to be only in the Golden Core Middle Stage, right? (That was mainly because Li Daoxuan had concealed his Cultivation, he had actually already Broken Through to the Golden Core Late Stage.)
Now, Li Daoxuan was undeniably at Golden Core Great Perfection, with a stable Foundation, profound Origin Qi, and no hidden dangers whatsoever.
“You’ve Broken Through again?”
“I remember you were still in the Golden Core Late Stage just now, and there were no signs of a Breakthrough!”
Li Daoxuan said proudly, “I was lucky to have some insight, just a minor Breakthrough!”
Qing Huang couldn’t help but step forward, hug Li Daoxuan’s arm, and coo, “Senior Brother, do you have a secret to fast Breakthroughs? Can you teach me, please~”
“I really don’t!” Li Daoxuan had a bit of a headache; his method wasn’t suitable for others to use!
“Good Senior Brother, please, just teach me!”
Li Daoxuan’s eyes darted, and he smiled slyly, “I have a Cultivation Technique that can indeed allow one to Breakthrough quickly, but I don’t know if you dare to Cultivate it?”
“Really! I knew it! What’s there to be afraid of?”
“This is a...Dual Cultivation Technique. Do you want to try it?” Li Daoxuan was talking nonsense, wanting to tease this little loli.
“Ah! This...it’s not impossible, actually. How about Senior Brother, you marry me and Senior Sister Xuan Yue together, that way we can...together...”
“Qing Huang! What nonsense are you spouting again, you dead girl!” Xuan Yue couldn’t help but step forward to pinch Qing Huang’s ear and cover her mouth. This girl was so bold, she dared to say anything.
Li Daoxuan’s heart stirred; this suggestion was excellent!
It’s just that he didn’t have any Dual Cultivation Technique.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qing Xuan and Zi Ling pulled Xuan Yue and Qing Huang out of the backyard. Li Daoxuan also wanted to leave but was stopped.
Qing Xuan: “Senior Brother, Senior Sister Qingcheng wants to speak with you. Please wait a moment!”
“Ah? Me?”
Li Daoxuan sat back down, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Luo Qingcheng and said, “Oh, right, I haven’t asked you what brings you to my house? Have you encountered some difficulties?”
Luo Qingcheng remained silent, her expression a bit conflicted.
Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
However, Luo Qingcheng’s next action made the teacup in Li Daoxuan’s hand drop directly in shock.
Clatter!
Ah...this...what does this mean?
Luo Qingcheng did not speak, but directly pulled off her veil, her eyes fixed intently on Li Daoxuan.
What kind of stunningly beautiful face was this, capable of toppling nations?
Li Daoxuan found it hard to describe, only able to use a line of poetry to slightly depict it:
“A beauty unparalleled through ages, pleasing to the eye, a face that topples nations, astonishing to all under heaven!”
A person truly lives up to her name!
“Am I beautiful?”
“Beautiful!”
“Do you like me?”
“I like you!”
This was absolutely Li Daoxuan’s heartfelt thought, but Li Daoxuan felt that Luo Qingcheng’s state was a bit off, or rather, something was on her mind.
“Alas! Everything is too late. If only I had met you earlier!”
“Or later...”
Li Daoxuan was a little confused. What was this about earlier or later?
“I’m leaving! I might never come back. I came here to bid you farewell!”
Luo Qingcheng didn’t wait for Li Daoxuan to speak, but continued to murmur to herself, “You are the first friend I’ve made here!”
“I think Qing Huang was right about one thing: friends should treat each other with sincerity. Hiding one’s true self doesn’t look like a good person.”
“You’ve also seen my true face!”
“You are the first man, besides my Family, to see my true face.”
“I hope you remember me! Always remember me! Don’t forget me!...”
Li Daoxuan said solemnly, “Have you encountered some difficulties? Tell me, and we can face them together.”
Luo Qingcheng shook her head and said, “No!”
“I just wanted to personally bid you farewell, and then return to where I belong.”
Li Daoxuan saw that Luo Qingcheng was very resolute, to the point where he couldn’t press her further. Asking wouldn’t yield any answers.
Li Daoxuan decided to use retreat as a way to advance, slowly probing for the truth, and asked, “When are you leaving?”
“Probably in a few more days!”
“Then why don’t you stay at my house for a few days?”
“Okay!”
Li Daoxuan personally arranged accommodation for Luo Qingcheng, then returned to Qing Xuan’s room.
“Senior Brother, you’re here? Is everything settled with Senior Sister Qingcheng?”
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, “How much do you know?”
“I don’t know much either, but I do have some conjectures.”
Li Daoxuan said with interest, “Tell me!”
Actually, Li Daoxuan also had many conjectures, but if Luo Qingcheng didn’t speak, he had no way of knowing.
“It could be a Family issue, for example, interference from Family elders, making Senior Sister Qingcheng do things she doesn’t want to do.”
“Alas! Every Family has its own troubles.”
That night, Li Daoxuan tossed and turned, Luo Qingcheng’s exquisitely flawless face constantly appearing in his mind.
Did Li Daoxuan like Luo Qingcheng?
Yes, he did!
Did Luo Qingcheng like Li Daoxuan?
Li Daoxuan, with his narcissism and vanity, believed that she probably liked him too.
Actually, what Li Daoxuan didn’t know was that he wasn’t the only one tossing and turning that night.
Qing Xuan was sleepless, thinking about what method she could use to make her Senior Brother marry Luo Qingcheng, Xuan Yue, and Qing Huang.
Luo Qingcheng was sleepless; she felt an emptiness in her heart. She felt that she was being played by fate...
Meeting the right person at the wrong time truly was painful!
“Senior Brother, are you unable to sleep?”
“Ah! Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and saw Qing Xuan staring at him with her big, sparkling eyes, and he was also startled.
This girl wasn’t sleeping or Cultivating late at night. What was she doing?
“I am a Cultivator, I’m not tired!”
“Sleep! You just gave birth to a child, you still need to replenish your Origin Qi.”
