Chapter 393 162: Bai Ling's Dedication

"Don't speak so crudely."

Xu Lei frowned. "Matters of the heart can't be forced. It's true that Bai Ling never intended to find a Dao Companion. Us getting together happened suddenly. I suggest you clean up your language. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rough."

"I didn't lie to you, Senior Brother."

Bai Ling added, "From your perspective, it must seem sudden that I've fallen in love with him. But I am his woman now. You were in the room next door last night, so you must have heard."

"I was writhing in pleasure beneath him! Call me a wanton woman! A hussy! I admit it! I'm not the pure, chaste maiden you imagined me to be. I'm exactly this lewd! Of course, I'm only lewd for him! And it will be that way for the rest of my life!"

The middle-aged Daoist was stunned speechless.

But he didn't dare say or do anything. After all, his Cultivation was actually weaker than Bai Ling's.

For Xu Lei to have won Bai Ling's heart, he was most likely even stronger than she was.

He didn't dare to make a move, of course. He had only dared to confront them and say such nasty things because he believed that Cultivators in this day and age were more conservative with their Magical Power.

But this was as far as he could go.

Of course, Bai Ling had no intention of pressing the issue with the middle-aged Daoist.

So Xu Lei didn't do anything either.

He couldn't just kill the man over a few unpleasant words.

Later that day, Bai Ling mentioned that the third Lizard Demon seemed to have escaped. She couldn't find any trace of it anymore.

Her Creepy Spirit needed to rest, so it hadn't been able to keep a constant watch.

And so, Xu Lei and Bai Ling decided not to remain in the desert any longer.

They began their journey home.

「Two days later.」

Inside the carriage.

Bai Ling once again said she wanted to "honor" Xu Lei, and asked him to perform his "Charitable Giving" for her.

Of course, Xu Lei didn't refuse.

Bai Ling remarked that Qing Lian hadn't lied; the feeling of receiving "Charitable Giving" was wonderful. She realized she had truly lived too hard a life before.

Xu Lei couldn't resist pulling Bai Ling into a deep kiss.

The two of them were in no rush, however. They traveled at a leisurely pace, enjoying the scenery, food, and drink along the way.

「Three months later.」

Xu Lei and Bai Ling arrived back at his home.

One of Xu Lei's younger sons, who was of marriageable age, was struck speechless by Bai Ling's beauty.

He asked Xu Lei which noble family the young lady belonged to.

However, upon learning she was his new mother, he immediately became exceedingly respectful and quickly excused himself.

Upon learning that Bai Ling was Xu Lei's new woman, his four wives, though a bit surprised, naturally raised no objections.

"The four of us are getting old," they said to Bai Ling. "We'll be counting on you to take good care of the General."

"I have been taking very good care of him," Bai Ling nodded. "He just finished his Charitable Giving for me. He said it felt wonderful, so I think my caretaking must be pretty good, right?"

Xu Lei's four wives were left speechless, not expecting Bai Ling to speak so frankly.

Because Bai Ling had always been so harsh on herself, she rarely socialized. When she did, she was always brutally direct. That's why she spoke this way, and she saw nothing wrong with it.

Everything at home continued as usual.

After staying for some time,

Xu Lei left home again with Bai Ling to travel the world.

After all, Bai Ling's Creepy Spirit was better at tracking down demons.

The two wanted to see if they could find other Spirit Monsters.

「A year and a half later.」

For that year and a half, Xu Lei and Bai Ling wandered far and wide, but they didn't find any other Spirit Monsters.

Of course, thanks to the previous Demon Cores and their Dual Cultivation, Xu Lei's Cultivation progress was still excellent. Bai Ling, after all, possessed a rare, innate constitution.

On this day.

BOOM.

Inside their inn room, the Qi circulating around the cross-legged Xu Lei surged violently. His Cultivation had advanced again, reaching the Fourth Tier of the Bodhisattva Ring Realm.

This caused Bai Ling, who was meditating cross-legged on the other side of the room, to open her eyes.

That's right, they were practicing their Cultivation together in the same room. Xu Lei had set up a Spirit Gathering Array so that Bai Ling could benefit from it as well.

"Your Cultivation has advanced?" Bai Ling asked, her voice sweet and tender.

"It has, thanks to you," Xu Lei said. "Otherwise, I—"

"Would you like Ling'er to 'honor' you some more?" Without waiting for an answer, Bai Ling stripped off her outer clothes. She revealed a delicate body as fair and smooth as tofu, a work of art clad only in a bodice. She walked directly over to Xu Lei, took his head in her hands, and pressed it against her chest. "Qing Lian isn't as good as Ling'er, is she?" she asked. "Is Qing Lian better, or is Ling'er better? Ling'er is better, right?"

What could Xu Lei say to that? He simply nodded, then immediately surged to his feet, scooped Bai Ling into his arms, and began their "celebration."

「An hour later.」

Xu Lei had just finished his Charitable Giving to Bai Ling.

"Nun Jin Xin is nearby!"

To his surprise, Bai Ling suddenly exclaimed, "My Creepy Spirit saw her!"

"Master Jin Xin?" Xu Lei faltered.

Then he realized she was talking about Zhao Xin.
