The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 469 - 467: Lately, I’ve had no appetite

Chapter 469: Chapter 467: Lately, I’ve had no appetite

Childish, truly childish to death.

Qin Zhao looked emotionlessly at the little octopus, wanting to kick it off the balcony.

But then she thought of Chu Yan’s aggrieved, teary expression, and she withdrew her long leg.

Today, during their scuffle, her emotions were quite intense, and she was harsh.

She remembered that Chu Yan even vomited blood, right?

Had he taken any medicine?

Thinking about this, Qin Zhao felt as if cat claws were scratching at her heart.

This guy had sent her so much medicine, he surely hadn’t taken any himself, had he?

According to her understanding of Chu Yan, it was very likely he would do such a foolish thing.

Realizing her concern for him, Qin Zhao only then understood that she still wanted to trust him.

"It better not have been you."

Looking into the dense darkness of the night, Qin Zhao murmured to herself.

But if it wasn’t Chu Yan who killed the master, then who could it be?

Chu Yan had confined the master in Kunlun Mountain, a place scarcely visited by anyone, leaving no other suspects.

Anyway, it was better for them to stay apart at the moment and cool off.

Qin Zhao chose to stay in Kunlun Mountain also to discover the truth behind Nan Xian’s death.

If it indeed was Chu Yan’s doing, then today he had certainly deceived her.

She would never forgive him.

And definitely, she would find a way to sever these affections cleanly.

Qin Zhao crouched down and picked up the little octopus from the ground.

She pursed her lips tightly, angrily hurling it outwards.

Immediately afterward, Qin Zhao closed the balcony door and went back to her room to sleep.

Chu Yan hastily picked up the octopus plush where it had fallen outside.

He hadn’t left, staying outside all night long.

The next day, when Qin Zhao got up, she saw the plush octopus on the balcony again.

The plush octopus had turned sky blue, looking aggrieved as if about to cry, seemingly accusing her of throwing it away, beside it was a box of freshly made breakfast.

Qin Zhao opened the lunch box and saw that the breakfast consisted of buns and fried dough sticks.

She had no appetite and simply didn’t eat.

She always felt buns and fried dough sticks were too greasy, and she wasn’t keen on eating them.

But from last night till now, she hadn’t eaten anything.

If she weren’t a Cultivator, she would have been extremely hungry by now.

Qin Zhao went back to her room, casually closing the balcony door.

Chu Yan waited outside for a long, realizing she hadn’t eaten the breakfast, then took the lunch box and the plush octopus away.

He lived in the room next to Qin Zhao’s, and their balconies were adjacent.

"Why didn’t she eat?", Chu Yan furrowed his brow and went out to buy another breakfast.

This time, he bought a Japanese rice ball with an Orléans chicken leg inside.

After placing the breakfast and the small octopus back, he knocked on the balcony door and then disappeared in an instant.

Qin Zhao came out and saw it but still didn’t eat.

The rice ball had seaweed around it, which she felt had a fishy smell, and she simply didn’t want it.

Now the little octopus wore a new expression.

The light purple plush octopus displayed a face of confusion.

(⊙_⊙)?

Why isn’t my wife eating?

The two portions of breakfast she hadn’t eaten ended up in Chu Yan’s stomach.

While eating the rice ball, he was puzzled and worried that Qin Zhao might be hungry from skipping breakfast.

After giving it some thought, he went out and bought a huge variety of breakfasts.

All the breakfasts that could be bought in the small town were collected by him and placed on Qin Zhao’s balcony.

He watched secretly from a distant rooftop.

Finally, Qin Zhao ate.

She ate two pieces of pickled radish that came with the breakfast.

"..."

Other than these two pieces of radish, all the rest of the breakfast Qin Zhao took to give to homeless people.

Chu Yan saw everything and his facial expression almost cracked.

Then he thought about it and felt very sad.

His wife wouldn’t eat the breakfast he bought.

o(╥﹏╥)o

Qin Zhao’s appetite had indeed been poor lately, and she didn’t know why.

But with many bothersome thoughts in her mind, she didn’t dwell on it.

She rested for a while in her hotel room and then went to Kunlun Mountain again in the afternoon.

The Heavenly Pit had already been covered by stone.

Qin Zhao had searched for a long time before he finally found a jade pendant near the Heavenly Pit.

The craftsmanship of this jade pendant was exquisite, a rarity of black jade.

Below, a long tassel of treasure-blue hung, giving it a mysterious, retro feel.

There were still remnants of spiritual power fluctuations on the jade pendant.

"Could it have been left by the murderer?"

Qin Zhao’s eyes darkened as he pocketed the jade pendant.

Perhaps by tracing this jade pendant, he could uncover the true circumstances surrounding his master’s death.

Chu Yan had bought Qin Zhao a bunch of breakfast but realized she hadn’t eaten it and didn’t keep following her.

He indeed wanted to keep following Qin Zhao.

But Black and White Impermanence found him, saying the Netherworld Emperor summoned him.

The Netherworld Emperor had already learned about Chu Yan regaining his memory from Black and White Impermanence.

Given that the underworld was in a time of trouble, naturally, he had to summon him.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Qin Zhao returned to the hotel.

Just as he planned to ask someone about the origin of the jade pendant, Qin Wan called her.

"I originally wanted to visit your new home, but why is no one there?"

Qin Zhao paused, "I’m outside."

"And Chu Yan?"

"The hospital sent him on a business trip."

Qin Zhao made up a casual excuse.

"Where are you?"

"Kunlun Mountain."

There was a long silence on Qin Wan’s side, and just as Qin Zhao thought she wouldn’t say anything more and was ready to hang up, Qin Wan suddenly spoke up, "Are you alone? Can I come to find you?"

"Indeed, I am alone, and it’s fine for you to come."

Qin Zhao thought she wanted to visit Kunlun Mountain for its scenery, which was quite famous.

"Alright, I’ll book a plane ticket now."

Qin Wan sounded very excited.

Qin Zhao lay on the bed, thoughtfully staring at the jade pendant in her hand.

She took a photo of the jade pendant and sent it to her Mystical Sect friends asking about it; everyone said they had never seen it and didn’t know the origin of this jade pendant.

Unable to get any clues, she had no choice but to give up for now.

-

Nan Xian and Qing Dai had been lost in the mountains for several days.

Qing Dai was absolutely certain Nan Xian was directionally challenged, but damn it, he wouldn’t admit it.

He still firmly believed he could find a way out of these deep mountains.

"Handsome Nan Xian, when can we get out?"

Qing Dai moped while munching on wild berries.

"We’ll get out today!"

Nan Xian confidently pointed in a direction.

"Let’s go this way this time."

"But I think it’d be better to go that way."

The two had no tools to identify direction and were stranded in the mountains.

Their current location diverged further and further away from the small town where Qin Zhao was.

"Then you go that way."

Nan Xian, choosing to trust himself, ignored Qing Dai.

Qing Dai had no choice but to follow him.

It was her first time in the Mortal World, unknown and unsure whether her judgment was correct.

Allowing Nan Xian to continue leading,

not only did they not head towards the exit of the mountains, but they ventured further into deeper forest areas.

The sky grew darker, surrounded by dense trees, with no towns in sight.

Nan Xian hovered in place, his brow furrowed.

How could he be wrong again?

"Ah! You fool, we should have listened to me just now!"

Qing Dai’s delicate face looked slightly exasperated.

"..."

Nan Xian, feeling guilty, chose to remain silent.

Qing Dai sighed, deciding to find a place to stay overnight.

They discovered a natural cave and were just about to take shelter.

Inside the cave, a blinding white light burst forth.

The light grew brighter and illuminated the surroundings as if it were daylight.

One human, one soul enveloped in the light, vanished from their spot.

Faintly, they seemed to hear someone speaking.

"Little Wan, I can finally see you. Ouch, what is hitting me..."

The choked, excited voice abruptly stopped.
