I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 38: A Friend

Although the cultivators from big cultivation families didnt have to climb the mountain, they still had to wait for the other cultivators to arrive at the peak and take the assessnt together. They didnt have to wait for long though, as all cultivators that didnt make it to the peak within the next hour would be imdiately disqualified.

During this ti, the cultivators from the big families were free to move around and chat with each other.

Qin Shi ng walked over to where Ye Yong was. She had so questions that she wanted to ask him, like what his cultivation was. Previously, she had thought that Ye Yong lost his cultivation, so she hadnt dared to ask about it.

Didnt Fairy Qin hate Ye Yong? Didnt they cancel their engagent? Shouldnt there be no reason for them to interact with each other anymore? Why does it feel like she is more friendly to Ye Yong than before and even took the initiative to go and talk to him? Why isnt she coming to talk to ?

I heard that after Ye Yong canceled the engagent, there was a rumor that Ye Yong had crippled his cultivation, so Fairy Qin felt guilty and went to visit Ye Yong several tis. Ye Yong had calculated it well. But now that the truth about him retaining his cultivation has been let out, Fairy Qin definitely wont let him off easily. Just watch.

Contrary to their expectations, however, Qin Shi ng didnt get mad at Ye Yong- Ye Yong even invited Qin Shi ng onto the airship, and the two of them drank tea together on the gazebo. No one else except Wu Xue was near them.

Whats happening? the male cultivators who thought they knew and saw through everything were shocked.

It must be because that shaless Qin Shi ng increased her cultivation level and is showing off to Young Master Ye. Poor Young Master Ye didnt know that and is thinking that Qin Shi ng just wants to talk with him. Compared to the many male cultivators that saw Ye Yong as an enemy, many of the female cultivators saw Qin Shi ng as an enemy.

Thats just how young people were- many would be envious of the people better than them if they were of the sa sex and would be amazed by them if they were of the opposite sex.

Ye Yong and Qin Shi ng had no idea that the people around them were already guessing and spreading rumors about their conversation. Their conversation didnt include any accusations or fighting- just normal chit-chat about cultivation.

What is your cultivation now? Qin Shi ng asked, taking a sip and looking at Ye Yong. As her cultivation increased, Qin Shi ng beca more and more fairy-like, and her aura beca more and more distinguished.

However, Ye Yong had a divine physique, so his ntal strength was quite strong. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, Definitely lower than yours, its not worth ntioning. Well, he was in the 11th layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm after all, a cultivation that he hadnt even seen before in the novel. Who knew how it compared to the Crystallization Realm?

You did recultivate, right? Qin Shi ng asked. Although everyone else believed that Ye Yong had cultivated the high-level qi occlusion art from the beginning and hid it from the elders of the Ye Family and didnt actually cripple his cultivation, Qin Shi ng had a feeling that Ye Yong had indeed recultivated and had beco stronger than before.

Thats right, Ye Yong said. He didnt hide it from Qin Shi ng because she was smart, and even if he denied it, she would have guessed the truth. He thought it would be better to just admit it and increase her favorability rating, although there was currently no change in her favorability rating.

In 2 months, you got to the 7th layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm or even higher. Even if you had recultivated, this is still an amazing speed you give strange feelings about you, and I sotis wonder if you arent Ye Yong at all but soone else.

I am Ye Yong the original Yong. Replacent guaranteed if fake, Ye Yong said. He wasnt lying- he was indeed Ye Yong- just not the Ye Yong.

Ye Yong the original Yong? Pfft~ Qin Shi ng covered her mouth and laughed lightly. This was the first ti she had heard of such a strange way of speaking.

This was different from a polite public relations smile or laugh- this was a genuine laugh coming from Qin Shi ngs heart. Even with a divine physique, Ye Yongs mind went blank for a brief mont. He imdiately drank so tea to calm himself down. Qin Shi ngs favorability rating had just gone up enough to view him as a friend, so if Ye Yong looked at her with lustful eyes, that favorability rating would instantly go boom and crash down.

Well, that didnt an that he couldnt look at her lustfully- it all depended on her favorability rating. If it was high enough, then not only would she not hate it, she would probably even feel happy about it. It was important to not rush things and take it one step at a ti.

Well, Ye Yong was still free to praise her. Lady Qins smile births a hundred charms, dulling the beauty of the world.

This world had poetry and songs, and so geniuses were able to beco saints through poetry, songs, art, and books- that is to say, they didnt have to cultivate like normal cultivators. A poetic line or song could contain amazing power.

Well, this way of cultivating was way harder compared to the normal way of cultivation, and those who succeeded were the peerless geniuses that had comprehended the Dao.

There were currently only 6 people in the Lower World that beca saints that way. All of them were amazing existences that were better than the average saints, and one of them was even a young heroine. However, Ye Yong was currently unable to et her.

Smile births a hundred charms, dulling the beauty of the world Qin Shi ng repeated in a small voice. She was pleasantly surprised. I didnt know you were so good at poetry.

As it was poetry that had co from Earth and got modified a bit, it was original poetry in this world. Qin Shi ng liked to read poetry and listen to songs when she wasnt cultivating and comprehending the sword, and this was the first ti she had heard such high praise describing a girls smile.

This is sothing I heard from a friend, Ye Yong said. He wasnt a poet, nor did he know much poetry. He could easily tell webnovels, but poetry? Not gonna happen. As such, he didnt take credit for it, but rather gave it to a nonexistent friend.

This way, even if he cant produce beautiful poetry, Qin Shi ng wont bla him. And if he ever got in the mood to create so beautiful poetry, he could just say that it was his friend who told him about it.

That friend of yours is pretty amazing, Qin Shi ng said. But its best not to take others creations of poetry and give it to other females. Thats being disrespectful.

I understand, Ye Yong said, nodding his head. He didnt have any intentions of pretending to be a literati.

Whats your friends na? Has he published any books or poetry collections? Qin Shi ng asked. If possible, I would like to buy one of them.

To my knowledge, he hasnt published any.

Then where is he?

I dont know. He likes to travel, so I have no clue of his whereabouts, Ye Yong said, sweating a bit. He decided that he was going to buy a poetry collection from Earth from the system so he could write a few random poems to publish in a poetry collection so Qin Shi ng would stop pursuing and looking for his nonexistent friend.

Alright. Qin Shi ng just wanted to know more because she was amazed by the poetry. She couldnt really press for more information if Ye Yong didnt want to reveal any.

Wu Xue was different. She was convinced that Ye Yong was the one who had created the poem- he was just too humble to admit it. The reasoning? Simple, it was because the previous day, Ye Yong had told her all the new and fascinating stories that she had never ever heard of. Wu Xue loved poetry and stories as much as Qin Shi ng did. She had a weak body, so she used to stay in her room all the ti reading, and yet, she had never ever heard of the stories that Ye Yong had told her.

A handso man and a beautiful woman sitting next to each other chatting and drinking tea together- this was a beautiful scene that would only co out of a painting.

A group of cultivators that adored Ye Yong and Qin Shi ng had their eyes red with envy. What are you two talking about? Do you mind including one more person?

So cultivators didnt mind if they couldnt talk with them- they were fine just being the table or the chair that Qin Shi ng sat on. Of course, they just wanted to be involved in the chat between two geniuses- definitely not because they would get excited by having Qin Shi ng sit on them.

Translators Notes:

Ah, poetry, my worst nightmare to translate. Ill try to keep them as poetry as much as I can.

Anyways, just one essay left for the quarter. And I calculated, I can pass the classes even if I bomb my finals. Heck yeah.

Dont ask why Im proud of that.
