Chapter 178: Chapter 119 Why Don’t You Like Me_2

Tantai Yi said coldly, "Hu Xianzi is perfect, truly like a Heavenly Immortal. It’s just that I, Tantai, am not worthy of you."

"It’s just that I, Tantai, am not worthy of you," such a rejection was so cold and chilling, yet it gave one the helpless feeling of a mouse trying to gnaw on a tortoise—nowhere to start.

Hu Huo’er was even more infuriated, her voice trembling: "Fine, fine! Since you said that! Then at this birthday feast, I will choose a man who is worthy of me!"

This time, Tantai Yi’s silence lasted longer, and after a while, he finally said, "Then I wish the fairy to find a suitable match soon, and have boundless prospects in your future Dual Cultivation." His tone was still as plain as boiled water, revealing no trace of emotion.

Hearing no response from Hu Huo’er, Qiongqi pursed its lips and mimicked a whistle "whoosh," as if some object flew through the air. Subsequently, Tantai grunted.

"This woman whipped Tantai Yi," Changtian’s description was still so brief.

"Where did she whip him?"

"On his right shoulder. He didn’t dodge."

"Why didn’t she whip his face?" Ning Xiaoxian snorted coldly, knowing that Hu Huo’er actually couldn’t bear to do it, "Hu Huo’er likes him so much, and yet he still acts so pretentious, truly deserving a beating! If it were me, as a man, having such a heavenly beauty crazily pursuing me, I would have joyfully carried her home already. Both are still unmarried, with clean reputations and powerful strengths, what’s there for Tantai to be so scrupulous about? Cultivators also value ’immortal couples,’ and they’re not like those who follow the Buddha needing to keep a pure heart desiring neither marriage nor family."

Hearing her speaking with a shared enemy sentiment, Changtian and Qiongqi exchanged glances and wisely chose to remain silent.

In her raging fury, Hu Huo’er whipped Tantai Yi, but after actuating her hand she felt some heartache, and her anger dissipated greatly, yet she still forcefully said: "You may go. I’m not such a shameless person, from now on I won’t bother you anymore. From now on... from now on, we’ll go our separate ways, no further involvement!" The more she said, the more heartbroken she became, and by the end her voice choked with tears. Originally a striking beauty, now crying, one couldn’t imagine the sight of her tears falling like raindrops from a pear blossom.

Thus, Tantai Yi only responded in a hoarse voice: "Very well. Then please take care in the future." And then there was no more sound.

Changtian looked through the Demon Eye and shook his head, saying, "He fled." The fact that he used the word "fled" showed just how hasty and pathetic Tantai’s departure was.

Seeing the man she longed for avoiding her as if he had seen a ghost, Hu Huo’er stomped her foot and couldn’t help sobbing.

"Alright, stop mimicking." Ning Xiaoxian quickly told Qiongqi to cease. This was Hu Huo’er’s time to vent, and they shouldn’t be prying into her privacy. "This man is so heartless, Hu Huo’er really wasted her deep affection on a blind man."

Changtian remained silent. Only he could see what was happening outside the prison, and he clearly saw that Tantai Yi’s fists were clenched tightly while talking to Hu Huo’er. It seemed he truly detested the woman before him.

About half an hour had passed before Hu Huo’er finally left, presumably having cried enough. With Tantai’s departure, she would no doubt leave Rock City as well.

As Ning Xiaoxian walked out of the God Demon Prison, she was taken aback, seeing that the green lawn around her looked as if swept by a hurricane, with grass and soil upheaved everywhere—a total mess, obviously Hu Huo’er’s way of venting her spleen, and even the Demon Eye was affected, having fallen to the ground. Fortunately, Hu Huo’er, in her grief, paid no attention to this inconspicuous necklace on the ground.

She truly had a fiery temperament, but Ning Xiaoxian could only sympathize with her. After all, the woman was inherently kind-hearted; even in her sadness, she stayed her hand. Otherwise, a Nascent Soul Stage great cultivator in a tantrum could easily have demolished the entire Rock City.

Sensing a brewing storm within Rock City, Ning Xiaoxian spent the next two days very low-key, even sparing time to visit whistle and Tan Qinghe who had moved to the farm. Hearing that her own residence was thoroughly searched the next day, Tan Qinghe’s face changed color, and it took some comforting from whistle for her mood to brighten. Watching this, Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t help but marvel at the power of love; even a taciturn person like whistle was prised open by Sister Tan.

Days passed in unusual tranquility. That afternoon, the fourteenth movement of the Guiding Technique was perfected, leaving only one step away from the Great Success Realm. At this stage, Changtian slowed down his demands, knowing the final movement was challenging and understanding the principle that haste makes waste, he only urged her to repeatedly practice the previous fourteen movements, waiting for the day it would naturally come together.

The soil had not returned to its jelly-like form for a long time now, with colorful crops growing vibrantly on it. Every day, she spent some time following Changtian identifying the treasures in the garden, as immortal grass seeds bought consecutively from the mutual market had been planted and were thriving with the divine power of the soil. The higher the grade of the immortal herbs, the better they tended to look; ginseng, Zhi fruit, He Shou Wu, and Yellow Jing here had already borne substantial fruits. If not for regularly considering the still unclear situation outside, she could almost imagine the pleasure of picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge.

Above the soil, there was only one plant growing slowly at its own pace. Today, Ning Xiaoxian gently stroked the green sapling, noticing it had unconsciously grown another foot taller, gradually showing the stature of a tree, yet its leaves remained consistently round and green. She wasn’t very familiar with trees, and this one looked very ordinary, almost indistinguishable from common trees.

Well, the biggest difference might be—it’s been over a month, and it’s still growing so leisurely.(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit qidian.com to cast your recommendation or monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please browse m.qidian.com.)
