Chapter 135: Chapter 94: A Woman in Her Thirties is Like a Wolf, Forties Like a Tiger (6k)

Afterward, Second Uncle glanced at Zhou Qing’s courtyard and said, "It’s getting late. I’ll just crash here tonight."

Without waiting for Zhou Qing to invite him, Second Uncle walked straight through the barrier and stepped into the courtyard.

Second Uncle made himself comfortable on Zhou Qing’s bed without any hesitation, while Zhou Qing quickly picked up his old hen.

Fortunately, the old hen had just laid an egg two days ago, so it probably wouldn’t attract Second Uncle’s attention for a while.

Just hoping this old relic wouldn’t suddenly get hungry at night, or that would be a disaster.

The fact that the old hen could refine anything was a secret he hadn’t even shared with his master or Yan. It was his little secret.

"Ah, so comfortable. By the way, who would’ve thought that you’re quite sentimental. I remember at the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering, you were holding that silly old hen at my stall, gambling on blind boxes, and later, you even sneaked in to watch those girls bathe just to find it,"

Second Uncle couldn’t help but tease.

Zhou Qing awkwardly smiled and responded, "That was really just an accident. I went into that manor purely to find the chicken. And who would’ve thought that they’d be so carefree, bathing in the open without even setting up a barrier."

Second Uncle smiled faintly, wearing a "Yeah, sure I believe you" expression.

"Finding the chicken was just an excuse. I bet you and your third senior brother had scouted it out well beforehand."

Zhou Qing didn’t bother with whether Second Uncle believed him or not. Holding his old hen, he grinned and sat on a chair. "Second Uncle, you promised last time that if I could recognize you the next time we met, you’d give me another opportunity. Does that still stand?"

Second Uncle immediately yawned and, with a suspicious look on his face, said, "Did I say that?"

"You absolutely did!" Zhou Qing asserted confidently.

"Old age makes it easy to forget things, I..."

Seeing that Second Uncle might play dumb, Zhou Qing quickly interrupted, "Uncle, actually, during that time in Cyan Wood City, I smelled your distinct aura from afar. It’s a scent of vigor, wisdom, and composure."

"Those two were foolishly dreaming of catching up to you, total daydreamers." Zhou Qing flattered with a grin.

Second Uncle listened comfortably, laying on the bed with his legs crossed. "I didn’t expect you recognized me from back then."

"Of course, just look at who it is—such a distinguished figure, it’s hard not to recognize. By the way, Second Uncle, how about giving me that Blood Tai Sui as the opportunity? My third senior brother loves to study these things, and his birthday is coming up. I want to surprise him."

Better to get something than nothing. This Second Uncle clearly wants to act forgetful. I won’t ask for anything else, just give me the Blood Tai Sui you took from my master.

Later, I’ll have the old hen eat it and refine it into a Blood Egg, which will benefit my cultivation.

Second Uncle waved his hand dismissively. "That thing? There’s nothing left to study, I used it up ages ago."

Zhou Qing: "..."

"Look at you, so small-minded. Your uncle here always keeps his word. Rest assured, I’ll get you an opportunity that suits your interest!"

Saying this, Second Uncle raised his eyebrows at Zhou Qing.

Recalling the note under Second Uncle’s profile: "Has the demeanor of his younger self," coupled with his lewd gaze, Zhou Qing suddenly felt uneasy.

"I don’t want it anymore..."

Before Zhou Qing could finish his sentence, Second Uncle was already in front of him, grabbing his arm.

"If you don’t take it, wouldn’t I be going against my word? That’d hurt my image. Come on, let’s go!"

In the next moment, Zhou Qing felt the scenery around him retreating rapidly, just like the time in Flame Dragon City when Second Uncle took him outside the city in an instant and taught him the Silver Dragon Step.

Once his feet stabilized, Zhou Qing quickly looked around and felt a sense of familiarity.

They were crouching in front of a window, and with a wave of Second Uncle’s hand, the window turned transparent.

"At this hour, she hasn’t undressed yet. Seems your luck isn’t great!" Second Uncle said sneakily.

Instinctively, Zhou Qing looked over and saw Immortal Xuan You sitting cross-legged, meditating.

But at the moment, she looked very uncomfortable, tightly furrowing her brows. A far cry from the cheerful sect leader who had been joking with everyone hours ago. Her state appeared extremely poor.

"Uncle, let’s go. I’ve really done a lot to clean up my reputation,"

Zhou Qing whispered, hunched over, ready to leave, but Second Uncle grabbed him.

"Do you know why she’s been coming to the Taiqing Sect so often lately?" Second Uncle asked.

Zhou Qing shook his head and covered his ears. "I don’t want to know, Uncle, please spare me."

"I left her a message, telling her that the Taiqing Sect has the person she’s been waiting for all these years but didn’t specify who. After all, whether you can achieve Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown is uncertain. So, she’s actually here looking for you."

Second Uncle chuckled.

Zhou Qing’s expression immediately changed.

"They say women in their thirties are like wolves, and in their forties like tigers. My junior sister is now at the peak of her powers, if you’re not careful, she might drain you dry," Second Uncle sympathetically examined Zhou Qing’s small frame.

Zhou Qing: "..."

"Don’t blame me, after all, she’s my junior sister from the sect I once belonged to. And this is a great opportunity for you, you’ll understand in the future."

"Besides, isn’t this so thrilling? She’s discreetly searching for the one who can save her from predicament, placing her hopes on Nascent Soul cultivators, never imagining you’re just a Golden Core cultivator. It’s exciting beyond words."
