Chapter 399 - 164: The Demonized Wu Gui

However, because she was an Innate Spirit Body, her skin and other aspects hadn’t changed much. It was still incredibly soft and rosy!

The way of Charitable Giving was also the same as ever.

Xu Lei found her irresistible, often getting lost and completely engrossed.

"I’m leaving the house in your hands."

And so, on this day, Xu Lei bid farewell to Di Mengmeng, Zhao Xiaoru, and Chu Shuhan, and left with Bai Ling.

"Don’t worry, General."

"On this journey, may you find the path to long life."

"Miss Ling’er, please take good care of the General for us."

The three of them said their goodbyes one after another.

After all, the three of them were old women now, and when at home, Xu Lei couldn’t bring himself to be intimate with them anymore.

It wouldn’t be right to let them watch him be intimate with Bai Ling, so Xu Lei had decided to leave home once again.

This time, however, Xu Lei and Bai Ling didn’t return to a Daoist Temple or a monastery.

Instead, they simply traveled everywhere, wandering the world.

With their Magical Power, they could protect themselves anyway, so they weren’t afraid of being taken out by some criminals wherever their travels took them.

They weren’t short on money either, so of course they could travel anywhere they pleased.

That night, in their room at the inn.

"The three sisters said that Ling’er has to take their share!"

Bai Ling, fresh from her bath, hugged Xu Lei and said, "So tonight, does that mean you have to perform Charitable Giving for Ling’er four times?"

Xu Lei was speechless.

"Alright, alright, I won’t force you."

Bai Ling laughed. "That really would be asking too much! Ling’er was just joking!"

"Don’t you know that some jokes are easy to take seriously?"

But just then, Xu Lei pulled Bai Ling into his arms. "Then let’s do as you say! My Cultivation just broke through another Small Realm anyway. I can relax for the next day or two, so it’s not out of the question to let loose tonight!"

That’s right. Ten years had passed. With the aid of the Spiritual Liquid Zhao Xin had left behind, Xu Lei’s Cultivation had improved yet again.

He had advanced to the Eighth Tier of the Bodhisattva Ring Realm.

However, the Spiritual Liquid was all used up, and his Cultivation speed had slowed down again.

But now, he wasn’t far from reaching Ninth Realm Perfection.

Even without the help of any Demon Cores or Spiritual Liquid, Xu Lei could still reach Ninth Realm Perfection just by grinding it out over the years!

So Xu Lei wasn’t in a hurry.

"Ah."

Bai Ling yelped, "You... don’t do this, Ling’er was just kidding! Nooo, WAHHH! Please spare Ling’er."

「Half a month later.」

Xu Lei and Bai Ling arrived at a city on the Desert Border once again.

They hadn’t been able to find any Spirit Monsters recently, so they wanted to come here and see if they could find that Lizard Demon they had missed in the desert back then.

But before they had even set out into the desert, Bai Ling suddenly ran into one of her junior martial sisters.

Of course, although she was her junior, there was likely a significant age gap between them.

But she looked to be about the same age as Bai Ling.

After all, Bai Ling’s Cultivation speed was faster than that of ordinary Cultivators, so she aged relatively slowly.

And beside Bai Ling’s junior martial sister was a male Cultivator.

This male Cultivator, however, looked to be around fifty years old.

"Senior Sister, and this junior martial brother is...?" Bai Ling’s junior martial sister asked, looking at Xu Lei.

"Junior Sister, and this old senior is...?" Bai Ling, in turn, asked as she looked at the man with slightly graying hair.

The words had barely left her mouth when Xu Lei felt the atmosphere become instantly awkward.

Seeing this, Xu Lei quickly jumped in to smooth things over, offering a few words of praise for the male Cultivator.

Because Xu Lei sensed that the man and woman across from them were also Dao Companions—a May-December romance, just like him and Zhao Xin back in the day.

Bai Ling, on the other hand, was a bit too direct. Plus, she probably didn’t have much life experience, so she wasn’t very good at reading people.

Although Bai Ling had lived for quite a few years, she had spent most of that time in Cultivation. The time she’d actually spent living and experiencing the world wasn’t that much.

She was more like an ordinary girl in her twenties.

Of course, after Xu Lei said his piece, Bai Ling immediately realized her mistake and understood that she had likely misjudged the relationship between the other two.

"I’m sorry, Junior Sister. My form of address just now was inappropriate."

Bai Ling said, "Actually, this senior martial brother isn’t that old at all. He’s still in his prime, with an extraordinary bearing and a dignified appearance. You can tell at a glance that his Cultivation is strong."

"Actually, given my generation, you should be calling me Martial Uncle."

The male Cultivator with the slightly graying temples spoke up. "Calling me Senior Martial Brother might not be quite right."

"That’s right. Martial Uncle is my Dao Companion now."

Bai Ling’s junior martial sister nodded directly. "Martial Uncle is indeed a bit older than me, but it’s no big deal. I’m happy with it. I like him."

"I am indeed a bit older."

The Martial Uncle added, "But what’s wrong with that? Don’t many Cultivators find Dao Companions like this these days? I don’t have much hope of attaining the Great Dao, so I’ve devoted myself to protecting the path of the one I love! That’s something a young man can’t do, right?!"

"By the way, this junior martial brother... you are a junior martial brother, right?"

Bai Ling’s junior martial sister asked Xu Lei, "If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your Cultivation level?"

"You should be calling me Senior Martial Brother. Though, I’m actually from the Buddhist Sect."

Xu Lei said, "I may look younger than you, but I’ve actually lived longer."

"Huh?"

Bai Ling’s junior martial sister was surprised. "In that case, Senior Martial Brother, your Cultivation progress must be excellent, and your talent must be great! You have a very good chance of attaining the Great Dao! So both of you have a chance to attain the Great Dao! In that case, do you two have a sect elder to protect your path?"

Xu Lei and Bai Ling looked a little exasperated, knowing she was saying all this on purpose.
