I had Qin Mengdie get out of the car, then used a water ball spell to rinse the taxi’s interior, followed by a fire ball spell to dry it, making sure nothing was left behind.
“Can you fly?” Qin Mengdie’s voice came as soon as I finished.
I was taken aback. I thought that given Qin Mengdie’s personality, she wouldn’t ask me a question, but I didn’t expect her to ask anyway.
Oh well, after all, the professorship between me and the bald guy was too absurd.
I took a deep breath and looked at Qin Mengdie, saying, “You might not believe it, but I think…”
“I believe you!” Qin Mengdie suddenly said before I could finish.
I was stunned for a moment. Qin Mengdie continued, “Because I saw a flying immortal when I was little!”
“Are you sure?!” I looked at Qin Mengdie with some doubt. I was an oddity in the cultivation world. Actually, the art of flying was only for Lunar Reflection cultivators, but because I had the bloodline of a fox clan emperor within me, I could fly. Wuming told me this. What Mei’er knew was just the cultivation method of the demon race, different from that of humans.
You could say that Mei’er was the one who introduced me to the world of cultivation, but the one who truly guided me was Wuming… but now, that guy was gone.
“I was in the car at the time, and I saw a car accident ahead. An immortal flew out of the car. The immortal was wearing blue clothes and quickly disappeared. But because I was too young at the time, no one believed me.” This was the first time Qin Mengdie had spoken so much, but my heart skipped a beat.
A car accident… a cultivator… This was so similar to the circumstances of my parents’ deaths. I looked at Qin Mengdie anxiously and asked, “How old were you when you saw the immortal?”
Qin Mengdie was startled by my action and replied, “I must have been eight or nine years old…”
Nine years ago, the timing was perfect, and the color of the cultivator’s clothes was the same as the color of that tattered cloth—both were blue…
Sure enough, the person who killed my parents wasn’t a practitioner of ancient martial arts, but a cultivator!
“You… what’s wrong?” Qin Mengdie asked, looking at me.
I smiled and shook my head: “Nothing!” Since I had already guessed that my enemy was a cultivator, what was there to be surprised about now?
Wuming was right, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late. Although I can’t directly confront a cultivator right now, my current goal can be set on worldly matters. Even if I fail to take revenge many years later, the Xia family won’t be at the mercy of others because of my departure!
“Actually, not everyone who can fly is an immortal. There are many in this world…” I told Qin Mengdie about cultivation while picking her up and using my flight technique to leave this dangerous place.
Qin Mengdie seemed to yearn for cultivation, but I now felt a growing aversion to it…
If it weren’t for finding Mei’er, if it weren’t for avenging my parents, I would never have continued cultivating. But… that’s just a hypothetical.
The road ahead is long, and I don’t want to watch everyone around me grow old while I remain young and ageless…
Qin Mengdie seemed to have a strong mental fortitude. Although she longed for the free life of cultivators, she didn’t actively propose to cultivate. Perhaps her thoughts were the same as mine…
“This is a secret between the two of us. If you still consider me a friend, then keep this secret buried in your heart and never tell it,” I said earnestly to Qin Mengdie.
Qin Mengdie nodded, then asked, “During the previous shootings, I was unconscious, and with that person just now, it seems like they were all targeting me, right?”
Hearing this, I could only manage a dry laugh, saying nothing. This girl was just too clever.
I didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Yes…”
“Then why did you protect me? And it seems you didn’t even care about your own life?” Qin Mengdie stared intently at me, making me feel uneasy.
I quickly smiled and said, “We’re all friends, what’s this about protecting each other? Besides, you’re still my fiancée!”
“That was just a temporary plan, don’t misunderstand! I won’t like you!” Qin Mengdie suddenly said coldly.
“Tch! Who cares!” I still have my Mei’er!
Qin Mengdie continued, “If you don’t care, could you please put me down? We’re on land now, I can walk.”
“Huh?” I was stunned. I hadn’t realized that I had somehow flown to the apartment door.
“Sorry!” I chuckled awkwardly, gesturing for Qin Mengdie to get down.
Qin Mengdie’s feet had barely touched the ground, her arms still wrapped around my neck, when the apartment door was suddenly flung open.
A furious voice rang out: “Xia Tian! Didn’t you say that you and Mengdie were just pretending? What are you doing now?!”
Qin Mengdie and I quickly released her. The one who roared was none other than Wang Ziyan, the one who had tried to drug me with an aphrodisiac and then rape me. But… when did she get back to the apartment?
Qin Mengdie said nothing, simply returning to her apartment, leaving me standing there dumbfounded. How could I explain this to Wang Ziyan? I’d saved her so many times already, and she just left like that!
“Why aren’t you saying anything!” Wang Ziyan yelled at me.
I looked at Wang Ziyan, helplessly shrugged, and said, “Think what you want! By the way! Speaking of which, your striptease performance at Mount Hua was quite something!”
“You!” Wang Ziyan blushed, speechless for a long time.
Just as I was about to leave, Wang Ziyan said, “Stop! Old Master Tan is still waiting for you inside. Please come in!”
Old Master Tan? Damn! It’s been a few days since I promised him healing pills… But, it shouldn’t be too late to give them now, right?
Thinking this, I went into the apartment. Old Master Tan was sitting in the living room. Sister Lin and the others weren’t there; Qin Mengdie must have gone back to her room.
“Old Master Tan, let’s talk inside!” I said to Old Master Tan.
Upon arriving at my bedroom, Old Master Tan smiled and said, “I apologize for the intrusion. We went to the Xia family’s house, but your servants said you weren’t home. Miss said you might be in your apartment, so we came here.”
“It’s nothing. I just have a bad memory and forgot to give Old Master Tan the pills. I’m so sorry!” I scratched my head, somewhat embarrassed.
But this shouldn’t be my fault. It seems Wang Ziyan pulled him away.
I took out a bottle of Healing Pills and placed it on the table.
I have plenty of Healing Pills. Although these pills look cheap, their effects are definitely not simple, and the first use will have excellent results.
Internal injuries refer to the five internal organs. Healing Pills can even repair injuries to one’s penis, so internal injuries shouldn’t be a problem.
However, I was worried that the Wang family head’s injuries might be too severe, so I took out another bottle containing a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and also a hundred-year-old ginseng king.
“These pills should be able to heal Uncle Wang’s injuries!” I said, looking at Old Tan.
However, Old Tan looked completely dumbfounded.
Good heavens… it’s just some pills, is it really necessary to be so surprised?
