Chapter 76

Chapter 76 A few days later, Song Wei Zhi contacted Yao Xin Tong and found out that she and Feng Yi Liu had settled in the Liuxi Mountain. Song Wei Zhi initially didn't want to tell Yao Xin Tong about Zhou Qing Xue's situation, to prevent her from being distracted. However, after careful consideration, they realized that it might not be appropriate for Zhou Qing Xue to stay in the form of a cat indefinitely, and there was no other option for the three of them. It would be better to discuss it with Yao Xin Tong and listen to her opinion. "Senior Yao, there was an incident some time ago. Qing Xue's physical body was destroyed, but her soul is intact. We haven't found a suitable body for her, so she's currently residing in a cat's body. I wonder if you can help her in any way," Song Wei Zhi transmitted her voice through the spirit stone. Yao Xin Tong's voice came through the spirit stone, "Instead of finding a new body, it's better to rebuild her dantian. Without her previous physical body, she has lost all her cultivation. With a dantian, as long as Qing Xue can establish it again, even in a cat's body, she can manifest a human form." Song Wei Zhi spoke to Yao Xin Tong for a while, confirming their location. She promptly informed Zhou Qing Xue and Wei Zhao about this development. Zhou Qing Xue hesitated. She didn't know how to face her mother. However, Wei Zhao embraced her, comforting her, "Your mother is worried about you. It's better for us to go together. That way, she can be reassured." Zhou Qing Xue nudged against Wei Zhao's embrace. Lately, she found herself acting more and more like a cat, always rubbing against Wei Zhao. After making necessary preparations, they immediately rode their spiritual devices to Liuxi Mountain. Yao Xin Tong was walking outside the wooden house with Feng Yi Liu. Feng Yi Liu's complexion had improved significantly compared to before; she looked no different from an ordinary mortal. Seeing Song Wei Zhi and the others, Yao Xin Tong promptly welcomed them. She moved to pick up the cat in Wei Zhao's arms. Zhou Qing Xue, upon seeing her mother, shed two lines of tears as a cat. Yao Xin Tong then held her and comforted her. "Senior, how can we help Qing Xue rebuild her dantian?" Song Wei Zhi asked as she approached. "Let me do it," Yao Xin Tong said, leading everyone into the wooden house. It consisted of five rooms. Yao Xin Tong placed Zhou Qing Xue on the table and took out a red jade-like object. Using her own spiritual power, she pointed it at Zhou Qing Xue's body. A red spot began to form, gradually turning into a small red sphere as Yao Xin Tong continuously infused her spiritual power into the red jade. The volume of the red jade continuously decreased. After a while, when Yao Xin Tong withdrew her spiritual power, which took about an hour, she stabilized herself with her hands on the table. It had taken a toll on her to rebuild Zhou Qing Xue's dantian. "Senior, are you okay?" Song Wei Zhi asked from the side. "I'm fine. I just expended some spiritual power. Qing Xue's dantian has been rebuilt, but I am unable to help her establish her foundation in the current state," Yao Xin Tong said, struggling with her voice. "Senior, we have plenty of spiritual power among us. Please tell us what to do," Song Wei Zhi offered. "No need, Master. I can handle it. You and Miss Song should rest," Wei Zhao reached out to hold Zhou Qing Xue but was stopped by Song Wei Zhi. "By providing spiritual power alone, it will quickly be depleted. The three of us can work together and conserve our resources. Stop talking. Let's do this together." Under Yao Xin Tong's guidance, Zhou Qing Xue on the table was surrounded by Song Wei Zhi and the others. They all continuously infused spiritual power into Zhou Qing Xue's dantian. Given Zhou Qing Xue's exceptional aptitude for cultivation, she quickly transformed the energy from the three of them into her own. The entire afternoon was spent channeling spiritual power to Zhou Qing Xue. Initially, Yao Xin Tong had intended to supply Zhou Qing Xue with some spiritual power to help her reach the foundation building stage, which she could achieve in a few months due to her exceptional aptitude. However, witnessing Song Wei Zhi's trio, it appeared as though they were speeding up Zhou Qing Xue's foundational construction. This would, however, require a greater consumption of spiritual power from the trio. At a critical moment, Yao Xin Tong did not dare to interfere and had to quietly wait alongside Feng Yi Liu. As the evening approached, Song Wei Zhi and her companions ceased their efforts. At the same time, the cat lying on the table had entered a meditative state. Due to their advanced cultivation, Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia felt no discomfort in their bodies. Wei Zhao, although not bad, had beads of sweat on her forehead. Song Wei Zhi immediately instructed Wei Zhao to rest, "Go and rest in the room. I will call you when Qing Xue has absorbed all the spiritual power." "No need, Master. You should rest instead. I'll stay here to watch over her," Wei Zhao wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Listen, don't be reckless. After Qing Xue absorbs the spiritual power, she will need your protection during her tribulation. Go rest for a while." Upon hearing Song Wei Zhi's words, Wei Zhao reluctantly found a room to rest, and Song Wei Zhi also asked Yao Xin Tong and Feng Yi Liu to go rest. This left only two people and a cat in the room. The girl feared that making a sound would disturb Zhou Qing Xue's absorption of spiritual power. Thus, she got up and sat by Song Wei Zhi's side, leaning against her, and Song Wei Zhi instinctively held the girl in her arms. After another five or six hours, the sky began to brighten. The cat on the table suddenly opened its eyes. The entire cat emitted a faint yellow light, and distant peals of thunder could be heard in the sky. Song Wei Zhi glanced at Song Zhi Xia and promptly used her spiritual power to call Wei Zhao, "Wei Zhao, Qing Xue seems to have absorbed all the spiritual power. Her tribulation is imminent." Wei Zhao had rested for the night and had mostly recovered her spiritual power. She arrived in the hall upon hearing Song Wei Zhi's call. They carried Zhou Qing Xue to an open area, and the black clouds in the sky gathered. Having experienced the dark clouds during her own tribulation, Song Wei Zhi paid no attention to the small black clouds currently. Even Wei Zhao, who had expended some spiritual power the day before, found it effortless to assist Zhou Qing Xue in facing the tribulation. The thunder also alarmed Yao Xin Tong and Feng Yi Liu. Although Yao Xin Tong had not yet fully recovered her spiritual power and appeared unwell, she intended to help Zhou Qing Xue through the tribulation. However, she was stopped by Song Wei Zhi, "Senior, let Wei Zhao take care of Qing Xue. She can handle it." Yao Xin Tong glanced at Wei Zhao, who was holding the transformed Zhou Qing Xue, and refrained from approaching further, reassured that Wei Zhao treated Qing Xue well. She then followed her senior sister anywhere she went, with peace of mind. As Wei Zhao took out her original weapon, a thunderbolt suddenly struck Zhou Qing Xue in the sky. However, it was intercepted by Wei Zhao's whip in mid-air and dissipated. After a while, the black clouds dispersed, as if it had all been just a dream. After stowing away her weapon, Wei Zhao felt a sudden weight in her arms. The cat had suddenly grown ten or twenty times larger, transforming into Zhou Qing Xue. Overjoyed, Wei Zhao immediately embraced her tightly. Zhou Qing Xue's irritated voice came from within the embrace, "Wei Zhao, put me down first. My mother is still here." She struggled to free herself from Wei Zhao. Embarrassed by the presence of so many onlookers, Wei Zhao quickly released Zhou Qing Xue. Once Zhou Qing Xue was firmly on the ground, she immediately ran to embrace Yao Xin Tong. "Mother, I thought I would never see you again, sob, sob," Zhou Qing Xue cried, relieved to be alive, embracing Yao Xin Tong. Yao Xin Tong's eyes also brimmed with tears. "It's okay. We still have a lot of time ahead of us. Don't cry. You should thank your friends for being able to transform back so quickly." Zhou Qing Xue nodded, managing to stop her tears. She knew she had only one or two months to spend with her mother, as she understood that her mother and Feng Yi Liu did not have much time left. Therefore, she did not want to disturb them too much. In the evening, Wei Zhao seemed a bit hesitant. She had been living with Zhou Qing Xue since she became a cat, and now that Zhou Qing Xue had transformed back, she was uncertain whether they would still sleep together. Just when she didn't know where to go, Zhou Qing Xue's voice came from the room, "Why are you still outside? Aren't you sleeping?" Wei Zhao's face lit up with a big smile as she hurried into the room. Zhou Qing Xue had already laid down on the bed, facing the wall. Wei Zhao undressed and lay down, but she couldn't understand why her heart was beating faster. She simply used her spiritual power to extinguish the light in the room and lay with her back to Zhou Qing Xue. After a while, there was a rustling sound behind Wei Zhao. It seemed like Zhou Qing Xue poked her back. Zhou Qing Xue softly said, "Wei Zhao, didn't you say we would form a Daoist couple? You wouldn't be thinking of backing out, would you?" Wei Zhao's ears turned red, "No, I'm not thinking of backing out. I thought, I thought you didn't want to." Zhou Qing Xue embraced Wei Zhao from behind, "Then you mustn't regret it." The rustling sound repeated again as Zhou Qing Xue hugged Wei Zhao from behind. Wei Zhao plucked up the courage and hugged Zhou Qing Xue, feeling something soft against her, and realized that Zhou Qing Xue had removed her clothes from inside? **End of this part of the translation** Wei Zhao's heart softened, and she pressed her lips against Zhou Qing Xue's. She had never expected to care for anyone other than her master, but Zhou Qing Xue seemed to have captivated her, and she embraced the feeling. Zhou Qing Xue, no longer as lively and arrogant as before, stole a kiss from Wei Zhao. As the evening darkened, their room carried a hint of resentment. In her dream, Wei Zhao found herself in the midst of a vast lake, its rippling surface stirred by gusts of wind. Immersed in the water, her clothes gradually soaked through as her breathing became more hurried. The tepid water enveloped her, carrying her toward the heart of the lake where the ripples grew more dense and splashed against her, creating a flurry of ripples. When Wei Zhao woke up, she saw Zhou Qing Xue touching a spot on her shoulder. Upon seeing Wei Zhao awake, Zhou Qing Xue asked softly, "Does it still hurt? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Wei Zhao then remembered the time Zhou Qing Xue had stabbed her in annoyance. The wound had not been deep. "It hasn't hurt for a long time, and there isn't even a scar. If you feel bad about it, a kiss will suffice," Wei Zhao said as a joke, not expecting Zhou Qing Xue to lightly touch her lips to the spot the next moment. "I won't hurt you again. I care for you," Zhou Qing Xue buried her head into Wei Zhao's shoulder. Time flew, and two months had passed. With the blessing of Song Zhi Xia's godly fragment, both of them had ascended a few days ago and become beings in the immortal realm. After ascending, the souls of cultivators became immortal and possessed limitless lifespans. The immortal palace had already assigned them their own caves. However, Song Wei Zhi wanted to accompany Feng Yi Liu for the last leg of her journey. At the moment Song Wei Zhi ascended, the system in her mind bid farewell to her and never appeared again, even when called upon. Song Wei Zhi had completed all her tasks and chosen to stay in this world, never having thought she could accomplish her mission when she first arrived. But now, she had done it, for herself and especially for her little sister. Author's Note: This is my first time writing a historical novel, and there are still many shortcomings.
