Happy Reading~
===========
So ti had passed, and I appeared to be gradually absorbing the souls given by Xian Miaomiao.
I must admit, I was curious—how did Xian Miaomiao manage to gather such a large number of souls?
Surely, as a Spirit Heaven, it should be impossible for her to kill people outside the artifact pagoda.
But why? What reason could there be for her to have thousands of souls in her storage space?
"This feels nice. This sensation... It feels like I've returned to how I used to be," I comnted, aware that I had truly recovered to the state I was in when I first possessed Hao Chen's body.
If not for this, it would've been impossible for to feel the pain deep in my soul.
Still, deep down, I knew there was no way I could restore my divine soul from my first life.
Maybe because of this, I had no choice but to be patient in recovering my soul to the level of an immortal soul.
That way, it would be impossible for to face stagnation in my cultivation.
Surely, sooner or later, I would break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"What do you an, Master? I thought your soul hasn't been fully restored?" asked Xian Miaomiao, confused by my words.
In her mind, she knew I couldn't truly heal my soul.
Even so, the fact that my soul had shown progress was undeniable.
But still? To Xian Miaomiao, she knew I was determined to recover my soul.
"No. Forget what I said. I was just talking to myself."
"Is that so? Master, you're really strange. Are you really a mortal? Your spiritual energy feels completely different."
"Don't ask too many questions. Get back to work. I have no intention of stopping my cultivation."
Truly, from Xian Miaomiao's expression, it was obvious she was exhausted.
Of course, after giving thousands of souls, wasn't it only natural she'd feel like collapsing?
Fortunately, Xian Miaomiao understood she had no choice but to hand over the souls she possessed.
If she rembered, she knew my breakthrough issue was due to my soul recovery.
Maybe that's why Xian Miaomiao accepted my command without hesitation.
After all, to open the first floor of the Heaven's Path Pagoda, one must break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
If they failed, there was no way they could access the hidden areas of the Heaven's Path Pagoda.
"Very good! Give more... I can feel it... Hehe. It won't be long until I break through my shackles. I only need to wait. And when the ti cos, I will reach the Nascent Soul Realm."
...
Eventually, after a few hours had passed...
I returned from the Heaven's Path Pagoda, revealing myself on the rooftop of the campus building.
At first, I was worried soone else might be up there.
Luckily, I sensed no presence nearby.
Instead, as my gaze drifted toward the railing in front of , I saw a few students walking ho from their classes.
I even recognized so familiar faces—it didn't feel unfamiliar at all.
Unfortunately, just as I thought the situation had cald down...
I heard the sound of a door opening. It was Wei Nan.
"Oh? You knew I was up here?"
"Of course. How could I not sense your presence? Besides, I reached the Foundation Establishnt Realm thanks to you."
"Since that's the case, I think we should head ho. No... actually, I'd like to take you for a walk."
For a mont, I could see Wei Nan's eyes shimring with hope.
But I didn't care. I had no intention of ruining this woman's happiness.
"I see! Then why don't we go now? Co on!"
step- step- step-
Honestly, I should've expected sothing like this to happen.
I watched as Wei Nan grabbed my hand and dragged toward the campus exit.
I wondered why Wei Nan wasn't flying through the air?
But rembering she had just reached the Foundation Establishnt Realm, I figured it made sense she didn't know how yet.
Still, the fact that she had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm in a single day was undeniable.
Step!—
"What the... Why are they in such a hurry?" murmured so students, clearly disturbed by our behavior.
Thankfully, none of them attempted to follow us.
If they did, wouldn't they lose track of us in no ti?
In the end, the fact that Wei Nan could run faster than an average human was undeniable.
Just that alone proved she couldn't run alongside regular people.
But not with —Wei Nan's speed wasn't enough to make tired.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize a female student had managed to snap a picture of my face.
If I had known, would I have let her do as she pleased?
"Look! Isn't he really handso? I have to post this on social dia!"
"You're right! He's really handso. But... doesn't he look familiar?"
"Yeah... I think he's..."
...
Eventually, after walking for a while, we reached our destination.
Without hesitation, our eyes were drawn to a snack stall.
Indeed, the place before us was a street food spot in Hazhou City.
At first, I was unsure whether I should eat at a roadside stall.
But I changed my mind, knowing Wei Nan was eager to bring here.
So, without further thought, we walked in and sat at an empty table.
Soon after, a waiter approached us.
"Excuse , sir and miss. What can I get for you?"
"Hmm. We'll take 20 skewers of at. And don't forget to add so spicy sauce."
"Understood."
For a mont, I couldn't help but glance at Wei Nan.
I didn't know why, but I was curious—could Wei Nan handle spicy food?
But still, Wei Nan was now a cultivator.
Even if she ate the spiciest food in the world, she wouldn't faint.
'Am I worrying too much? Probably... Hahaha... Forget it.'
"What's wrong?" asked Wei Nan, puzzled by my gloomy expression.
Of course, should I answer that question?
"It's nothing. I just didn't expect you to like spicy things," I explained, unwilling to share my concern.
I knew I didn't need to voice my worry to Wei Nan.
Maybe that's why she didn't think much of my silly answer.
"Who doesn't like spicy food? I'm sure everyone in the world loves it. Don't you?"
"Uh. I guess. But Wei Nan, spiciness isn't really a flavor. It's pain."
"What's wrong with that? Since forever, spiciness has been accepted and never hurt anyone!"
Honestly, I had to admit—I now knew Wei Nan really loved spicy food.
But I didn't mind. I had no choice in what I ate anyway.
"Alright. Let's drop this useless topic. Besides, our food's almost here."
"You're right. I can't wait!"
"Please enjoy."
Ssshh—
Indeed, the sll of grilled skewers in front of us was incredibly fragrant.
But still? I knew eating fatty food wasn't exactly healthy.
Especially for Wei Nan—she's a woman, after all.
