184: Chapter 184 Licking the dog?

“Big Yellow Dog, you should also find a suitable place to build your Immortal Cave.

Don't forget your little brother, Xiao Huang. When he grows up, his wings will span three zhang wide, so your Immortal Cave needs to be spacious.”

“Woof woof! Master, I think I'll pick one from the White-Crested Eagle's old Immortal Cave.

The Spiritual Qi there is abundant, and it's close to you, so I can always be at your beck and call.

Moreover, I love guarding the Master and protecting your safety!”

Wang Bin was filled with emotion upon hearing this.

Dogs truly are loyal companions to humans. Their loyalty reminded him of the Big Yellow Dog he had in his previous life.

Wang Bin also began to build his residence on the mountain peak.

As the head of the Wang Family, his house naturally had to be built where the Spiritual Qi was most concentrated on the mountain peak.

He originally planned to use wood for construction, but with Big Yellow Dog around, it was more appropriate to use earth and stone as the primary materials, supplemented by wood.

As a result, the Spiritual Coconut trees on the island would suffer a bit; at least dozens of them would have to be cut down.

After two days and two nights of busy work, everyone's houses were completed.

Wang Bin's house occupied nearly ten mu of land on the mountain peak, surrounded by a two-story courtyard, with a three-story building standing in the center.

He designed his bedroom to be exceptionally spacious, with a bed that was not only sturdy but also enormous.

It could easily accommodate three to five people, making it very convenient for several people to huddle together, so it wouldn't be so cold in winter.

The basement extended all the way to the former Level Three White-Crested Eagle's cave, and after renovation, it became his secret chamber for Cultivation.

After setting up the Gathering Spirit Formation, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the Cultivation room gradually reached the level of a Nascent Soul Cultivation room.

Indeed, a Level Four Spiritual Vein was hidden beneath this island, and the thought alone was exciting.

It was just a pity that the island was too vast, and the area that the Level Four Spiritual Vein could cover was less than one-thousandth.

But it didn't matter; other areas could use a solar energy conversion array combined with energy balls to solve the Spiritual Qi problem.

Since there was a Level Four Spiritual Vein, Hulu Island would be an excellent Foundation for the Wang Family's future.

Wang Bin also considered that he didn't know if he could Cultivate to the Soul Transformation Stage in this life, but Hulu Island should be sufficient for the next few hundred years.

After the women finished building their houses, they all invited Wang Bin to visit.

Their houses each had unique features, complementing their individual styles.

Only Dongfang Wan's house was somewhat peculiar, constructed from vines condensed by Spells.

And what was most novel was the couplet pasted on her doorway.

That's right, a couplet. Wang Bin had been in the Cultivation World for decades, and this was the first time he had seen a Cultivator's Immortal Cave with a couplet.

This made him very curious, as Cultivators had long lifespans, yet those who were keen on literary pursuits were few and far between.

Cultivators were so focused on Cultivation that they felt time was insufficient; how could they have leisure to bother with such flashy things?

However, the couplet at Dongfang Wan's door was clearly the work of a scholar.

Upper line: The vast blue sea, surging waves of snow crash against the sky.

Lower line: The golden sands have a shore, the sun's reflection glitters before the eyes.

Horizontal inscription: New Residence by the Sea.

“It truly reads with some skill! Wan'er, I didn't expect you to be such a talented young lady! You truly possess both beauty and talent!”

Dongfang Wan smiled exceptionally brightly upon hearing Wang Bin's praise. Wang Bin had never seen her smile so happily.

“Hehe! I didn't expect Senior Brother Wang to appreciate this.

I thought all you Cultivators from the Four Seas Commerce League were full of the stench of money!

This couplet wasn't written by me; I don't have such talent.

Jing gege wrote it. Jing gege is graceful and exceptionally talented, and his poems are even more magnificent.

Unfortunately, the imperial court didn't know how to appreciate talent. It wasn't until Jing gege formed his Golden Core that he was appointed as the city lord of a small coastal city.

This couplet was written by him in his city lord's mansion. Isn't it amazing? It reads with a profound Concept!”

“That's it? It's very ordinary! You are a Princess!

Your parents are Nascent Soul Cultivators, and your Grandfather is a Soul Transformation powerhouse. Yet your beloved was sent to guard a small coastal city; how dangerous must that be!”

Dongfang Wan's small face instantly flushed red, and she stammered:

“How could I be worthy of Jing gege? I am so ordinary, and there are so many girls who like Jing gege; how could it be my turn!”

“What? You mean this is unrequited love?

You're a pure 'Licking Dog'?

You have Single Spiritual Root, and you Cultivated to the Golden Core Realm in less than sixty years, yet you actually feel you're not worthy of him?

Could it be that your Jing gege has an Innate Godly Body? Or a Dragon Bloodline?

That's not right! If he were that powerful, why would he be sent to guard a small coastal city? This simply doesn't make sense!”

Dongfang Wan asked curiously:

“What is a 'Licking Dog'? Is it a type of Yao Beast?

Although I have a High Grade Golden Core, I haven't yet comprehended Concept.

Jing gege, in his white robes, is graceful and elegant. When he flies on his Flying Sword while reciting poetry, that scene is truly captivating.

Jing gege is handsome, and he only has Four Spiritual Roots!

His parents are Mortals, and he relied entirely on his own efforts to Cultivate, forming a Golden Core before he was eighty years old. His experience is so moving!”

As soon as Dongfang Wan mentioned Jing gege, her face was filled with a blissful smile.

Wang Bin was somewhat dumbfounded after hearing Dongfang Wan's words. Didn't they say that one couldn't form a High Grade Golden Core without comprehending Concept?

He looked at Dongfang Wan exasperatedly and said:

“'Licking Dog' refers to how you are right now.

He has Four Spiritual Roots and can actually form a Golden Core at eighty. Is it because you 'Licking Dogs' gave him a large amount of Cultivation resources?

Otherwise, with just Four Spiritual Roots, humph!

Female Cultivators of your Tian Yuan Empire actually like such a pretty boy?

He's just a bit fair-skinned and can write a few 'sour' poems, and you're so infatuated?”

Dongfang Wan instantly became furious, glaring at Wang Bin with wide, angry eyes:

“Don't slander Jing gege! What are Cultivation resources? I accumulated hundreds of thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for Jing gege, and Big Yellow Dog tricked me out of them.

If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Big Yellow Dog, quickly return the Spirit Stones you tricked me out of, and those Medicinal Pills! Those were all for Jing gege!”

Big Yellow Dog had just walked over when he was caught off guard by Dongfang Wan's sudden outburst of anger.

He barked a few times at Dongfang Wan, then tucked his tail between his legs and ran off.

He felt wronged too; all his belongings and his beloved collar had been taken by his Master. He was a victim too!

“Wan'er! Look at me. Compared to your Jing gege, how do I look?

I also have Three Spiritual Roots, and I don't even know who my parents are. I've overcome countless obstacles to Cultivate to Golden Core, and the life-and-death crises I've experienced could fill a biography.”

Wang Bin asked Dongfang Wan curiously, wanting to see if Dongfang Wan was truly a fangirl.

This was the Cultivation World; how could there be a Golden Core cultivator who idolized someone and willingly handed over Cultivation resources?

Although he had seen many idolizing young girls in his previous life, their behavior was simply irrational, but he didn't expect to encounter it in this Cultivation World too.

Dongfang Wan scrutinized Wang Bin from head to toe, feeling that he looked decent, but compared to her Jing gege, he seemed to lack a certain temperament.

“Hmph! Your looks are still a bit lacking. Jing gege's skin is fairer than yours, and he wears white Daoist robes. When he flies on his Flying Sword, that ethereal Immortal Qi, you can't compare to that!”

“Just wait for me a moment!”

Wang Bin immediately returned to his room, adjusted his complexion to be fairer, put on a set of white Daoist robes, carefully styled his hair, and finally adjusted his aura with the collar.

He then strapped a High Grade Magic Treasure Flying Sword to his back and reappeared before Dongfang Wan, striking a pose like a Sword Immortal.

“How is it! I am Wang Bin, you can also call me Bin gege. Am I not more charismatic than your Jing gege?”

Dongfang Wan's eyes lit up as she looked at the re-dressed Wang Bin. She had to admit that his charisma was indeed more outstanding than Jing gege's, but...

“Hmph! Although you look quite good like this, it's just superficial. Jing gege mainly attracts me with his talent!”
