Chapter 407 - 166: Qing Lian’s Nirvana

His progress was good, after all, so there was no need to rush.

As soon as he came out, Xu Lei saw Qing Lian watering the flowers in the courtyard.

She was leisurely watering the flowers.

Qing Lian’s Cultivation seemed to have reached Perfection, so she had more free time.

After all, as a Cultivator, she didn’t need to worry about making a living.

With her Cultivation at the level of Perfection, she naturally had nothing else to do.

So recently, Qing Lian had taken up gardening.

Bai Ling, on the other hand, was still in the middle of her Cultivation.

Xu Lei walked right over and wrapped his arms around Qing Lian’s slender waist from behind, pulling her into an embrace.

Qing Lian’s figure had grown more voluptuous than it was in her younger days.

"Finished with your Cultivation?"

Qing Lian smiled and said, "If you want to perform Charitable Giving, then do it. But be gentle. Don’t get in the way of my planting and watering."

She didn’t resist Xu Lei, simply stating her terms.

Xu Lei wasted no time. He held her tight, started pulling down her pants, and got right to it.

Meanwhile, Qing Lian continued weeding and watering the flowers.

Just then, Bai Ling finished her own Cultivation and walked out of the Cultivation Room.

"Little sister Bai Ling, want to join in?" Qing Lian called out.

"I’ll pass on participating, but I don’t mind watching."

Bai Ling crossed her arms. "Since you, you licentious nun, have extended such a warm invitation, I might as well see how good your ’gardening’ skills are!"

Then, she found a spot not too far away, sat down, and watched with leisurely interest.

Of course, she didn’t go over and join in.

This made Qing Lian a little embarrassed.

Xu Lei just chuckled and said nothing, continuing with his task.

The next day, of course, Qing Lian got her revenge.

While Xu Lei was holding Bai Ling and "cultivating" in their room, Qing Lian suddenly burst in.

She didn’t participate either, just stood by and watched, wanting to see if Bai Ling would get embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ling saw right through Qing Lian’s intentions. Although she was actually a bit flustered, she didn’t let it show. Instead, she just started loudly chanting, "Amitabha Buddha."

"I give up, Bai Ling. You win," Qing Lian couldn’t help but say before turning and running out.

「Three years passed in the blink of an eye.」

By this time, Xu Lei, Bai Ling, and Qing Lian were no longer staying at home.

After all, staying at home all the time could get boring for three people who didn’t have to work.

Xu Lei and Bai Ling’s Cultivation progress was good, and Qing Lian was simply maintaining her current state.

So the three of them set out to travel the world.

Performing Charitable Giving in a different city would provide a new kind of thrill.

Besides, Xu Lei and Bai Ling had refined most of the Energy Demon Cores they possessed.

Although they weren’t completely finished, they could still wander around and see if there were any Spirit Monsters to catch.

That would be helpful.

But they hadn’t found any, let alone caught one.

It wasn’t until this day, three years later, that they finally encountered a River Demon.

It lurked beneath a mighty river, making it difficult to attack, so they could only lie in ambush on the bank.

This Demon was discovered because it had eaten some children who had come to the river to swim.

But they waited for a full three months.

Still, the River Demon didn’t emerge.

"Forget it. I’ll go down and capture it myself."

Qing Lian said decisively, "My Cultivation is high enough that I’m not afraid of a small drain on my power. Besides, I’m still young. I can just cultivate to get back whatever Magical Power I use."

With that, she leaped down and plunged into the river.

A short while later, with a loud SPLASH, Qing Lian emerged, having already captured a large, sharp-snouted fish.

Qing Lian killed it with ease and presented its Demon Core to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei couldn’t help but thank her.

"You’re still saying thank you to me?"

Qing Lian said, "If you really want to thank me, you can pay me back with your body."

"Alright."

Xu Lei smiled. "I’ll repay you tonight back at the inn."

The three of them had no intention of waiting for thanks from the local villagers. After catching the Spirit Monster, they left.

Of course, the few children who had been eaten by the Spirit Monster while swimming were truly dead. There was nothing to be done; they couldn’t be saved.

That night, Xu Lei, Bai Ling, and Qing Lian checked into an inn.

Unexpectedly, however, the inn was almost full.

There was only one large room left, though it did have two beds.

Xu Lei was taken aback, as were Bai Ling and Qing Lian.

Since it would be a hassle to run to another city or find a different inn, Xu Lei took the initiative and said, "Let’s just stay here. I won’t force you two to receive my Charitable Giving at the same time. You can each take a bed. If you don’t mind, I can take turns sleeping with you."

Bai Ling and Qing Lian didn’t object. After all, the three of them had been together for many years now.

Soon, they were in the inn room.

After bathing, the three of them prepared for bed.

That night, of course, Xu Lei first performed Charitable Giving for Qing Lian on the left bed, then rested before moving on to perform Charitable Giving for Bai Ling on the right bed.

「Another two years passed in the blink of an eye.」

Xu Lei, Bai Ling, and Qing Lian had now been together for ten years!

In the past two years, the three had traveled together but hadn’t happened to encounter any more Spirit Monsters.

Although Qing Lian had reached the Perfection stage of Cultivation and had no intention of pursuing Nirvana yet, meaning she could afford to expend some Magical Power, Xu Lei had no desire to ask her to help him get revenge by going to the Eastern Wilderness Marsh to kill those two Enchantresses.

After all, going on a killing spree in a place like that would consume an amount of Magical Power that couldn’t be easily replenished.
