Chapter 64: Requesting More Medicine Valleys

"Don’t tell me you both became an item or something??"

Zar gave no response.

One would assume the same thing would happen to Valley Master Yu, but for some reason, a blush formed as she averted her erratically flickering gaze.

"Hm?" Prime Xue Qing had been joking, but seeing her dramatic reaction, she threw an accusatory glare at Zar.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, humph!"

"???"

Looking between the two women, Zar’s mind drew scribbles. Even with his cultivation in the 4th Layer of Void Crossing, he was still unable to halfway understand what they were thinking.

Did they like him or not? Even he was confused now...

Eventually, he sighed and resumed his traught. Passing by Prime Xue Qing, he received a kick to the shin, which he responded to with a wry smile.

Valley Master Yu noted this occurrence, bringing back that same suspicious glare from earlier. She caught up to him but pretended to dignifiedly ignore him by looking the other way.

Speaking while matching his pace like that, she asked, "You and Hua Ling have been getting along well as of late, huh?"

"I suppose so," replied Zar. ’Fortunately, she isn’t yet aware that I’ve been sneaking out every so often to meet with Yu Yu. I figured she’d be angrier if she knew that I’ve been frequently interacting with a woman who she wasn’t already familiar with.’

Staring with a scrutinizing glint, Valley Master Yu questioned him about the ’goofy grin’ he was making. She and her feminine instincts somehow knew that he was hiding something, which scared Zar a little.

Mysterious powers stemming from the illogical were what kept him up at night!

Luckily, he had become accustomed to getting himself out of sticky verbal conversations like this one. And with a little smooth-talking, he easily changed the subject.

Prime Xue Qing caught up to them at some point, still asking where they were going off to so early in the morning. This led to Zar catering to both of them, trying to distract one from the tragic situation of her father while preoccupying the other with promises he might be capable of keeping.

As for why he was working so hard to make sure they were both happy... well, he didn’t really know himself, to be honest.

More than most things, Zar hated Therians. It was in his blood. In his nature.

However, the more time he spent around some of the ones he was closest with, the more he felt that clingy innate hatred slip away. It was as if its inseparable grip was slowly but surely freeing itself from him.

"Emotion Response: Sensors 302–480 begin to overload, following the lead of the ones that came before. Godling #8777 is elevated from (3★) to (4★) Deviant status!"

"Huh, what was that just now?" Zar looked around in confusion, cupping the areas around his ears. "I could’ve sworn..."

"What is it, Master?" Alter Xue Qing asked in a concerned tone. "It isn’t Qi Deviation, is it!?"

"No, no, nothing like that..." Zar shook his head, passing off what he heard as no more than an Inner Heart Demon. "I think I really do need to get out more."

Taking their chance at this proclamation, Alter Xue Qing and Valley Master Yu spoke in sync, saying, "I can go out with you more often if you want, Master/Disciple."

They instantly looked at each other, causing sparks to fly.

It had been like this ever since Zar brought Xue Qing back to the Carefree Medicine Valley to be his first-ever Official Disciple. And it was unlikely the fierce competition between the two Xue Qings and Valley Master Yu would ever change.

’Thata girl!’ Prime Xue Qing cheered her alternate personality on. ’You have to fight for what you want, and conquering a strong, competent man like that sly bastard is as good a boon as any to strive for!’

After spending a dozen odd years around him, Prime Xue Qing realized he was not just a supreme genius—he was a monstrous freak whose talent level had likely never before been seen in the Elemental Nations!

Having him as a consort wouldn’t be so bad for their future, now would it?

Perhaps with his help, Prime Xue Qing could not only restore her cultivation but also create a separate body for Alter Xue Qing to inhabit!

While everyone’s thoughts churned in different directions, someone with an incomparable level of cultivation watched from a hidden dimension located within the Blazing Sun Sect—one that even the Sect Leader knew not about.

"Godling #8777," the mysterious figure covered in shadows smirked from the hidden dimension. "What a truly interesting existence. He might just end up being the one that we’ve been searching for."

But only time would tell...

— Elsewhere —

"Hmm?"

Looking over a pile of folders, female Inner Elder Lu saw that someone had actually rejected a direct promotion to the Inner Sect with honors. This Inner Elder was seated atop a cultivation mat that overlooked a vast, seemingly endless expanse of picturesque scenery. Hundreds of cultivators at and below the Nascent Soul Realm flew about, conversing and interacting with one another.

However, more eye-catching than all that was the folder held within Inner Elder Lu’s fair hands—a very atypical one.

"This fellow... he actually has the support of Core Elder Ye Xuan, and yet still chose to deny further promotions for now under the pretense of bettering himself and his cultivation?" she mused. "He has even requested several Medicine Valleys in exchange for Sect Contributions that he’s acquired over tens of years selling grown high-rank Spiritual Plants to the Sect..."

Observing his current Sect Contributions amount, Inner Elder Lu’s eyes grew round.

Even she didn’t have so much!

"To amass this amount of Sect Contributions, that young lad must’ve been receiving assistance from Core Elder Ye Xuan," she said in exasperation. "It does state here that he occasionally sells Rank 7 and even Rank 8 Spiritual Plants, which further proves my theory. I do, however, wonder what it is someone so high up in the Sect sees in a man with seemingly ordinary talent and prospects."

’Perhaps I should go meet him myself.’
