I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Don't worry about whether it's his fellow disciples, or even if enemies learned it, he didn't care.

If you're capable, just practice it, and if you can beat me then I'll consider it a loss.

Initially, Wu Xuanzhu also didn't care when 'Impeccable' was learned by Xue Jing, characters of this level have exceptional mindsets and ordinary people wouldn't consider the notion that 'teaching a disciple starves the master.' After all, no one could outperform him no matter how they practiced.

"Since you agreed, there's a small issue now."

Li Qi said leisurely.

"Yellow Grannie Skill is an internal Health Cultivation method within the Taoist Sect involving many sensitive areas and acupoints within the body... It's inconvenient for me to teach Qingjiao."

"Since you are profoundly skilled in Yellow Grannie Skill... the task of teaching Qingjiao the Yellow Grannie Skill will be handed over to you."

Xue Jing was stunned upon hearing this, sensing something amiss.

Wait, if it's inconvenient for you, does that mean it's convenient for me?

"Master, this..." he hesitated and began.

He had barely started speaking when Li Qi, seemingly interrupting him on purpose, asked Meng Qingjiao, "Qingjiao, what do you think?"

Under Xue Jing's silent gaze, Meng Qingjiao nodded with a cold expression.

"Alright, that's settled then, when you're free, find a room and get started," Li Qi clapped his hands, grinning on his wrinkled face, blooming like a chrysanthemum.

There was something odd about the way he phrased that... Xue Jing was somewhat speechless.

...

He didn't start anything with Sister Meng as Li Qi had said. After staying at the new Hidden Dragon Dojo for a while, Xue Jing took his leave.

He was somewhat aware of his master's intentions but didn't pay much attention to them.

Just as couples who are matched through matchmaking don't often anticipate a blissful marriage, such things cannot be forced.

Letting things progress naturally was the right approach; he was less inclined to push when the cow didn't want to drink.

After leaving the dojo, Xue Jing immediately leapt onto the rooftops, using the Light-body Skill towards the direction of Qingcheng University.

Even without going at full speed, his current pace was outrageous, rivaling a high-speed train, and that too was a straight-line high-speed train.

In less than five minutes, he arrived at the entrance of Qingcheng University.

Like the wind, he entered unseen, stirring up many female students' skirts and eliciting quite a few embarrassed screams.

He headed straight to the Qingcheng University Library, quickly making his way to the seventh floor.

In the quaint and historic attic, Xue Jing stepped inside and a familiar faint and elegant scent tantalizingly entered his nose.

Smelling this scent, his mind involuntarily calmed down, just like the aura of the scent's owner.

Looking around, it was still that spot, the lone girl who seemed to always be sitting there waiting for him, never having left for even a moment.

Her waist-length high ponytail cascaded down, her elegant and delicate features did not create any sense of distance, approachable like the girl next door, only her overly tranquil pale lavender eyes added a hint of a mysterious and serene atmosphere.

Xue Jing glanced at the cover of the book in her hand.

"The Mercury that Will Eventually Devour the Gold."

"Pop—"

The book was closed, the serene girl turned her head towards him, her pale lavender eyes showing a trace of a smile.

"You're back."

At that moment, Xue Jing felt an inexplicable sense of healing.

It was like a husband who had worked hard all day coming home to a smiling, beautiful young wife... it made him feel like his efforts were worthwhile.

Shaking his head to dispel the strange thought, Xue Jing softly chuckled:

"Mission accomplished, BOSS."

He stepped forward, reaching out his hand, and called the Nonexistent Beast. An invisible rift opened in his hand, releasing a light green and a light red pair of swirling air flows.

Wu Youqing first fixed her gaze on the invisible rift emitting the air flows for a while, then shifted it to the flows.

She reached out and took the two air flows from Xue Jing's hand and softly said:

"There are nine streams of the Wind of All Beginnings; one is with the Xu Family, another with the 'Reverse Cross Church' in the New Cross Church State, three with the Secret Martial Society, two with me, and the last two's whereabouts are currently unknown."

"In over two hundred years, the nine streams of Wind of All Beginnings have never merged together. No one knows what full capabilities it possesses."

Wu Youqing looked at Xue Jing with a tender gaze, "It's one of my few hopes, and you've successfully brought that hope to me... Jing, what reward would you like?"

Xue Jing cocked his head, "A reward?"

Wu Youqing spoke softly, "You've exceeded the task this time... even if you want a somewhat excessive reward, I'll do my best to fulfill it."

Xue Jing thought about it. He didn't have anything he particularly wanted, if he had to say, maybe just a Divine Relic...

However, compared to the Divine Relic, he felt that he had received too much help from Wu Youqing, so much so that it was a bit overwhelming.

He wanted to say that he didn't need a reward, but that seemed a bit insensitive, as if he were eager to repay Wu Youqing's debt. Read latest chapters on empire

After hesitating for a while, perhaps because of the world-class stunning hug from Meng earlier, or perhaps attracted by the comforting presence of Wu Youqing.

Xue Jing suddenly had a wild thought and hesitated,

"Um... how about you kiss me?"

Wu Youqing was stunned.

Xue Jing's face also immediately changed, full of regret.

What was he saying, damn, that was awkward.

He moved his lips slightly and waved his hand, "Forget I said anything."

At that moment, Wu Youqing hesitated for a second but then stood up, silently walked over to Xue Jing.

"BOSS, you..." Xue Jing said in surprise, seeing this.

No way, Youqing, are you serious?

Wu Youqing looked at him with a complex expression, a slight blush appearing on her refined face, breathtakingly beautiful.

She whispered softly,

"I said it, even if it's a somewhat excessive reward..."

Xue Jing broke out in a cold sweat, "Can I take it back?"

Wu Youqing glared at him, "What are you saying to a girl who finally mustered the courage?"

A girl... right, Youqing Buddha is only in her teens.

Usually, she is so mature and reliable that Xue Jing had unconsciously overlooked her age.

"Then... do you need to prepare a bit?"

After thinking, Xue Jing asked.

Wu Youqing shook her head, only murmuring, "...close your eyes."

Xue Jing felt like a fledgling again, nervous about something as simple as a kiss.

He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, feeling conflicted.

He wasn't someone easily swayed by women and beauty, even as enchanting as Yu Ga Shenle, he was almost unmoved.

But undeniably, at this moment, he was indeed looking forward to it.

Because... this is Youqing A Dream after all.

That woman who seemed to know everything, could solve anything, almost like a genie at your service.

Xue Jing couldn't deny he had a strong favor for her... otherwise, he wouldn't have blurted out such a thing impulsively.

Because his eyes were closed, his already sharp hearing, smell, and touch became even more sensitive, distinctly feeling the girl drawing nearer.

The subtle fragrance grew stronger, her slightly uneasy breathing gently touched his face, and his skin sensed the warmth radiating from her body.

Suddenly, an extremely soft and wonderful sensation touched the corner of his mouth, tinged with a bit of warm moisture.

That instant, a tingling sensation spread from Xue Jing's mouth to his cheeks, scalp, neck, chest, and abdomen... gradually reaching his entire body.

He gently opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Wu Youqing who after kissing him, had run back to her seat, twirling her hair at her seat.

The latter turned her face away, avoiding Xue Jing's gaze, and spoke in her usual calm tone, "There, you got what you asked for, don't expect it to happen again..."

Xue Jing looked contemplative.

It was as if entering a sage mode after the fact, his rationality began to return.

Wait, why did he feel like he was at a loss?
