A moment later, the two arrived at Ning Wangshu's house off-campus.
As soon as they entered the house, the two saw Laifu sitting on the sofa watching TV, which was clearly a children's program. This little guy had already learned to turn on the TV and change channels by himself when he was still in Linchuan.
Ning Wangshu, however, was not surprised at all.
The same applies to Lin Qingzhu.
After returning from the Seven Provinces Martial Alliance Competition with Ning Wangshu, she stayed here for two days and saw that Little Thing Laifu turned the TV on and off by himself.
Therefore, seeing Laifu watching TV at this moment was not surprising at all.
Upon hearing the door open, Laifu overjoyed to see Ning Wangshu return. He let out a delighted "humph," abandoned his television viewing, and excitedly pounced on her.
Almost a week had passed since they last met, Laifu was unusually enthusiastic, circling around the two of them and humming and chirping, occasionally nuzzling Ning Wangshu's legs affectionately with his little head.
"Looks like this little guy's been holding back for a while."
Seeing Laifu's affectionate manner, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but smile and say to Lin Qingzhu beside her.
Lin Qingzhu covered her mouth and said, "That's right, it just stays in the house by itself all day. Although it can turn on the TV, it's still quite boring."
After a pause, Lin Qingzhu continued, "Since you Laifu to Jiangnan City, you probably haven't taken it out for walks much, have you?"
Ning Wangshu touched her nose sheepishly and said, "I haven't taken it out much. I only took it out for a walk once or twice when we first arrived here. Mainly, I haven't had much time lately."
"How about we Laifu out for a stroll tomorrow?"
Lin Qingzhu tilted her head and looked at Ning Wangshu, saying with a grin.
"Sure! It'll save it from being cooped up at home all day and getting restless."
Ning Wangshu smiled and replied.
"Okay! Let's take it out for a walk tomorrow, hehe..."
Lin Qingzhu said happily.
The two chatted for a while and played with Laifu for a bit. Afterward, Ning Wangshu asked Lin Qingzhu to play with Laifu for a while and went back to her room, where she opened a cabinet to take a look.
Seeing that the Spirit Stone and spirit fruits he had previously placed in the cabinet were almost gone, Ning Wangshu took out some more Spirit Stone and spirit fruits from his Storage Ring and put them back in.
These things were specially reserved for Laifu, who would Laifu and get them whenever he needed them.
Ning Wangshu had specially set up a small magic array to "preserve" the spiritual fruits in the cabinet where they were stored, so that the Spiritual Qi of the fruits would gradually dissipate and spoil if left for too long.
After leaving the room, Ning Wangshu spent some more time with Lin Qingzhu playing with Laifu.
At this moment, Lin Qingzhu suddenly said, "By the way, Wangshu, where do you usually cultivate at school? The place I used to cultivate was seen by that person today, so I want to change my cultivation location to avoid being disturbed."
"Where do you cultivate? I'll go cultivate there with you sometime."
Hearing this, Ning Wangshu was speechless. He couldn't very well tell Lin Qingzhu that he no longer needed to cultivate.
Because his cultivation level had reached the level of " Ascender," which was even higher than the Mahayana Stage, if he could not accept the baptism of immortal energy and truly "transform" into an immortal, then no matter how much he cultivated, his cultivation level would not improve in the slightest.
Even though he can only use the power of the early-stage Nascent Soul stage at present, whether he cultivates or not, it will not increase the power he can use by even a fraction.
Ning Wangshu had tried this before.
Therefore, Ning Wangshu has basically stopped cultivating for a long time.
However, he couldn't tell Lin Qingzhu these things directly for the time being. But since Lin Qingzhu asked, he could only cover it up by saying, "Me? I usually just find a place to cultivate anywhere that's secluded and not crowded, and that's where I cultivate."
"It wasn't specifically placed in one location."
"I see..."
Lin Qingzhu responded and then asked, "What time do you usually go to cultivate? I can go with you then."
"Sure! I usually leave my dorm to practice around 5 a. m. I'll wait for you near your girls' dorm."
Ning Wangshu said casually.
Although he no longer needed to cultivate, he simply wanted to keep Lin Qingzhu company. Anyway, he had nothing else to do, so whether he slept or not made no difference to him.
"Okay, then I'll come down here every morning at 5:10. You can just wait for me at the dorm entrance, hehe!"
Lin Qingzhu replied with a smile.
"OK!"
Ning Wangshu pursed her lips and responded with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was already past 11 p. m., Ning Wangshu told Lin Qingzhu to go wash up and rest early.
Lin Qingzhu responded softly, then glanced at Ning Wangshu, seemingly hesitant.
Upon seeing this, Ning Wangshu was taken aback and asked, "Qingzhu, what's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Huh? No, it's nothing..."
Lin Qingzhu quickly shook her head, then smiled and said, "Then... I'll go wash up first!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Ning Wangshu smiled and patted her shoulder.
Stepping into her former room, Lin Qingzhu closed the door and let out a soft sigh. Then, she bit her lower lip, her face showing a hint of hesitation and inner conflict.
"That damn Xu Yingying, she keeps giving me terrible advice! Should I do it or not? Would that be too forward? What will Wangshu think of me? Will she think I'm too easy?"
Lin Qingzhu rubbed her cheeks, looking somewhat troubled.
When Ning Wangshu asked her whether she should go back to her school dormitory or come here with him, Lin Qingzhu suddenly recalled the words Xu Yingying had encouraged her to say that night.
Although she was conflicted, Xu Yingying's words kept echoing in her mind, and a voice inside her kept tempting her.
After a while, Lin Qingzhu still couldn't make up her mind, so she simply went into the bathroom to wash up...
Ning Wangshu stopped teasing Laifu and went back to her room to lie down and rest.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qingzhu finally finished washing up and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. She came to the door of her room, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and gently pushed open her door.
Then, they tiptoed to Ning Wangshu's room.
However, when she reached for the doorknob, she hesitated and struggled, unable to decide whether or not to push open Ning Wangshu's door.
At this moment, Ning Wangshu, who was resting with her eyes closed, obviously sensed Lin Qingzhu outside the door. She was startled and thought that something was wrong, so she opened her eyes and was about to get up to ask Lin Qingzhu what was wrong.
Lin Qingzhu, standing outside the door, seemed to have finally made up her mind. She bit her lip, steeled herself, and gently pushed open Ning Wangshu's door with a "click."
Then, he tiptoed inside and quietly closed the door behind him...
