Soulmate

The wind howled, and the setting sun was like blood.

Craning her neck and looking around, after confirming once again that the Sword-Wielding Elder was not on the mountain, the petite figure moved and landed gracefully in front of Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran remained calm, only then seeing the girl's appearance clearly.

A small body, a round face, this was the first impression.

The features were small, delicate, with a slightly soft and glutinous baby fat.

Not an ordinary loli face, unable to discern arrogance, childishness, or indifference, her soft eyes contained the light of spring, giving people a feeling of first love-like romance and purity.

She was very short, estimated to be around 1.5 meters, but her figure was very well-proportioned.

Her chest clearly rose and fell, although far from being as vast as her master's, it had the right amount of girlish curves, with a hint of gentleness in her purity.

Especially a pair of slender, straight legs, covered with a thin gauze like bamboo membrane, set off a graceful and natural temperament.

Petite and delicate, and romantic purity perfectly blended into one, any man would unconsciously take another look.

Xiao Ran had heard Lin Yunzi introduce that this Jiang Chuyan was young and beautiful, but he didn't expect it to be this type.

It was the type Xiao Ran liked in his previous life, if the girl didn't speak.

The girl's complexion was resentful, slightly cold, shrinking her petite body,

Even if she accidentally released her Qi, would a cultivator be unable to stand still? "You can press as hard as you want. Even if my Dantian explodes, I'll stand firm!"

Xiao Ran didn't dare to be negligent, treating her with the same seriousness he had shown Chen Gongxing.

He closed his eyes, listening to all things.

Locating the resonance point of her Qi Sea...

At his fingertip, he slowly gathered the maximum resonance of his Primordial Power, pressing down on the girl's soft, white neck, accurately hitting the Dazhui Acupoint.

This finger strike, because the horizontal resonance was maximized, seemed extremely weak at first glance, even weaker than the finger strike he had used on Lingzhou Yue.

The finger force moved slowly, completing the first resonance in her spine.

Crack! "Hmm?" Jiang Chuyan was slightly startled.

The finger force suddenly vibrated, subtle ripples suddenly arose, stirring up raging waves, washing over the girl's entire body, completing the second resonance in her meridians.

Bang! The girl panicked a little, hurriedly using her power to resist.

However, the finger force suddenly rose, like a terrifying wave, the rolling spiritual explosion pushing all the way into her blood vessels and even her spiritual vein, causing the third resonance.

Boom! Before she could react, this violent force gathered down along her spiritual vein, impacting the outer wall of her Dantian.

This force was insignificant in front of a Golden Core Realm's Dantian wall, but the constantly changing vibration frequency instantly resonated with the Dantian wall! Extremely weak, yet incredibly precise.

Like a spark, it could start a prairie fire.

An imperceptible wisp of power actually caused the Dantian wall to resonate, emitting a slight tremor, stirring up a ripple in the vast Qi Sea...

The girl's clear eyes instantly froze! Experiencing Dantian resonance for the first time, she had never experienced such stimulation. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably, instinctively concentrating all her power to resist Xiao Ran's finger force.

As a result, her spiritual energy loosened, and it exploded out with a bang.

But her inner Qi was much smaller than Lingzhou Yue's, only causing Xiao Ran's clothes to rustle, while he himself remained unmoved.

Her slender legs, trembling until her joints rattled, instantly went limp after losing the support of spiritual energy, and she collapsed to the ground.

Like a spring, she regained her strength the moment she collapsed to the ground, and the girl jumped up from her butt.

Her delicate body straightened, her pure little face flushed red, and a pair of clear eyes stared at Xiao Ran with shock and resentment.

"How can a Mortal like you have such power!"

Xiao Ran drooped his eyelids, looked at the girl's agile posture as she bounced off the ground, wanted to say something, but gave up.

One thing was certain, the girl's body was still great! After withstanding the girl's wave of attacks, he switched to a strategic offensive.

He needed a tool, someone who could become the plow in his hands, helping him quickly till the fields and mechanically earn Filial Piety Points – this girl who was obsessed with Lingzhou Yue was the best candidate.

Although she verbally threatened to castrate him, if she really meant it, with her Golden Core Cultivation, she could have castrated him in a second. The fact that she hadn't done it yet meant that she was just a keyboard warrior.

"This is a Cultivation Method that my master taught me. Do you want to learn it?"

The girl instantly regained her spirits, leaping up to sit on a branch.

"It's not a question of whether I want to learn it or not. You touched my body. I should have castrated you to prove my innocence. I can choose not to castrate you, but you must get the Sword-Wielding Elder to accept me as a disciple and teach me this Cultivation Method."

Xiao Ran looked up, and because the angle was too tricky, he seemed to see something he shouldn't.

"That depends on your performance."

He remained calm and didn't rush to talk about the Red Spotted Tiger, lest the girl be too resistant.

Jiang Chuyan sat on the pine branch, dangling her two slender legs, fiddling with her temples, and admiring herself:

"My body is weak, and I don't know how to massage shoulders. How should I perform?"

Xiao Ran didn't fall for her trick.

"Massaging shoulders isn't urgent. We need to learn the more basic skill of farming first."

Farming?

The Sword-Wielding Elder didn't lack elixirs and medicines, so why would she need to farm? The girl suddenly became vigilant.

"Don't try to trick me. If I do as you say and the Elder still doesn't want me, don't blame me for castrating you in the middle of the night and escaping back to the Imperial Palace."

Xiao Ran was slightly stunned.

"Are you from the palace?"

"I'm a princess!"

"Then you need to farm even more. In the future, when you become the ruler of a nation, you can lead the Blazing Fire Kingdom to rapidly achieve a moderately prosperous society."

"I don't want to."

The girl pouted, her interest waning.

"Whether it's the Blazing Fire Kingdom or Zongzhi Mountain, sooner or later they will be swallowed by the Wraith. This world is beyond saving. Weak as I am, I just want to be in love."

"..."

This one is hopeless!

Xiao Ran composed himself.

"You still have to farm even when you're in love. You can think of your teacher as a field. You have to work hard to cultivate the field, irrigate it, fertilize it, until it blooms and bears fruit, understand?"

You, you, you... you really do have something going on with the Sword-Wielding Elder! Jiang Chuyan stared at Xiao Ran with wide eyes, as if she could devour him.

A thousand words of scolding reached her lips, but they softly turned into:

"Can girls do it too?"

"Of course, they can."

Xiao Ran looked righteous.

"Love is pure, free, and without utilitarianism. Naturally, it won't be limited by gender or even race!"

The girl was dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at Xiao Ran, her clear and gentle eyes glistening with tears.

A kindred spirit!

For so many years, she had been misunderstood, disliked, and even slandered behind her back...

This was the first time she had met a kindred spirit.

And it was a man! "Give me the hoe."
