Chapter 205: Kong Linxue: Junior Brother ng, You’re Pressing Against ...
“ng… Junior Brother ng!” Kong Linxue instantly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Wasn’t Junior Brother ng just on the cloud ship? How did he suddenly… appear here?
“It’s only been half a year, has Senior Sister Kong already forgotten ?”
The young man before her was none other than ng Changqing.
He stepped forward, coming directly in front of Kong Linxue. Although there were many disciples below, with his spiritual cultivation, he naturally sensed Kong Linxue’s presence.
Unlike the others, she stood farther away, seeming a bit solitary.
After so thought, ng Changqing briefly inford the headmaster and left the cloud ship.
“Of course not,” Kong Linxue hurriedly replied, her heart involuntarily filling with excitent and joy.
“I just… I just…” Kong Linxue found herself at a loss for words, her awkward and nervous deanor making ng Changqing chuckle.
He rembered their first eting, where Kong Linxue was much more composed, acting like the senior sister.
But now, before him, she seed more like the junior sister.
“What ‘just’?” ng Changqing teased.
“It’s just that I haven’t seen you for so long, I’m… a bit too happy!” Kong Linxue blurted out, her cheeks instantly turning red.
How could I just say what was in my heart like that?
Hearing this, ng Changqing smiled and flipped his right hand, revealing two jade hairpins. One appeared ordinary, while the other was precious, radiating a soft glow.
“Senior Sister Kong, do you rember this hairpin?” ng Changqing asked.
“This is… my hairpin,” Kong Linxue was montarily stunned.
Although it wasn’t a particularly valuable item, it was sothing she had worn since childhood, so she recognized it imdiately.
“Yes, I happened to co across a jade shop on my journey and had it repaired,” ng Changqing said with a smile. “Take a look and see if there are any flaws.”
Upon hearing this, Kong Linxue was deeply moved, her heart filled with indescribable emotions. She rembered that the hairpin had shattered while she was protecting Junior Brother ng during his breakthrough in the Xuanqing Realm.
At that ti, Junior Brother ng had picked it up and ntioned that he would have it repaired, but she hadn’t thought much of it. After all, it was just a hairpin. It was the thought that counted. No need to take it to heart.
Yet, Junior Brother ng had rembered and even went to the trouble of getting it fixed.
Thinking of this, tears of gratitude welled up in Kong Linxue’s eyes. As the saying goes, true feelings were seen in the details, and this was one of those monts.
“This other one, I bought it. It’s a secret artifact, and wearing it for a long ti will bring many benefits,” ng Changqing said, placing both hairpins in Kong Linxue’s hands.
“Junior Brother ng…” Kong Linxue looked at the hairpins, then at ng Changqing, her emotions reaching a peak.
Her eyes softened with tenderness, and she wanted to speak the feelings she had kept hidden for so long, but the words wouldn’t co.
Just then, ng Changqing suddenly pulled her into his arms, their lips eting. Kong Linxue’s eyes widened, and tears of joy filled them.
The warm sun and gentle breeze accompanied their embrace, surrounded by falling leaves.
After a mont, they finally pulled apart.
ng Changqing licked his lips, savoring the mont, while Kong Linxue’s face was flushed, her body drenched in a light sheen of sweat.
She leaned shyly into his broad chest, her body weak and pliant, allowing ng Changqing to clearly feel her curvaceous figure.
“Junior Brother ng…” After so ti, Kong Linxue gently knocked on ng Changqing’s chest.
“What is it?” ng Changqing asked.
“You’re pressing against ,” Kong Linxue’s voice was soft.
“That’s normal,” ng Changqing replied nonchalantly, leaning closer to her ear and whispering mischievously, “You should feel happy about it.”
Upon hearing this, Kong Linxue’s face turned even redder, and after a long pause, she muttered, “You’re so improper.”
ng Changqing laughed and lifted her into his arms, sitting down on a nearby stone bench.
“Give the hairpins,” ng Changqing said.
Kong Linxue obediently released her grip, her expression bashful yet sweet as she allowed him to take them. ng Changqing carefully placed the hairpins into her hair, though his movents were a bit clumsy.
Kong Linxue’s eyes sparkled with happiness.
“Looks good,” ng Changqing said, admiring his handiwork.
No wonder she was considered the most beautiful disciple of their sect’s younger generation. She didn’t need any adornnts to be breathtaking.
“Really?” Kong Linxue bead with joy, feeling ecstatic over her beloved’s praise.
“Of course,” ng Changqing said seriously.
“But… Junior Brother ng, am I really worthy of you?” Kong Linxue suddenly leaned against his chest, her stunning face clouded with a hint of sadness.
Although the two of them had clarified their feelings, there were still lingering doubts in her heart. While she was talented and had a bright future, the gap between her and ng Changqing seed imnse.
“All things under heaven are rely about what we desire. It has nothing to do with anything else, especially not love,” ng Changqing said. “Besides, you’re not lacking either. You have second-grade root bone, and your talent in the path of alchemy is exceptional.”
Indeed, ng Changqing had always harbored good feelings toward Kong Linxue.
From their very first interaction, he had sensed the connection, and her little gestures over ti had only solidified her place in his heart.
Initially, he hadn’t acted on his feelings because he had been weak, focused on cultivation, and content to let things develop naturally.
But now, he had achieved great strength and renown, standing as the foremost talent of the Southern Region’s younger generation.
It was ti to make room for other aspects of life, such as emotions, before it was too late.
As he pondered this, ng Changqing activated his Observation Eye.
【Friend: Kong Linxue】
【Race: Human】
【Cultivation: Ninth Level of Dao Creation Realm】
【Root Bone: Second Grade】
【Comprehension: Superior】
【Alchemy Proficiency: Fifth Grade】
Fifth-grade proficiency?
ng Changqing was slightly stunned. It seed Kong Linxue’s talent in alchemy far surpassed his expectations.
In such a short ti, she had progressed to fifth-grade proficiency!
He recalled that she had only been at third-grade before.
What was even more impressive was that typically, reaching fifth-grade proficiency required one to advance to the Divine Attainnt Realm, as the Dao Creation Realm usually capped at fourth-grade.
“Alchemy, huh?” Speaking of her expertise, Kong Linxue’s eyes sparkled with confidence. “I’ll let you in on a secret. I’m already considered a fifth-grade alchemist, but I can only refine the most basic fifth-grade pills. Once I unlock my spiritual reservoir and gain soul power, I’ll be able to craft more valuable ones.”
“That’s amazing!” ng Changqing feigned shock, though he was genuinely impressed. Alchemy skill didn’t strictly follow cultivation levels. It was entirely based on talent. So alchemists in the Divine Attainnt Realm were only third-grade in proficiency.
Talents like Kong Linxue, who outstripped their cultivation in alchemy, were extrely rare!
Mhm!
Kong Linxue nodded eagerly, like a pecking chick. “I may not be great at combat or cultivation, but I’m very skilled in alchemy! Don’t forget, I’ve always been the most promising disciple of the dicine King Peak. If you hadn’t grown so quickly, I would have been able to give you alchemical pills at every major breakthrough!”
Hearing this, ng Changqing gently patted her back. Indeed, his growth rate had far outstripped that of his peers, even those with the highest-grade roots.
Even Mo Xiaoyu, with her first-grade root bone, had been left far behind.
