Checking in with Feng Xiaoling Rewards the Eastern Emperor Bell

"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in with Goddess Feng Xiaoling! Reward: Eastern Emperor Bell!"

The Check-in System has notified me.

Qian Ye didn't know much about the true power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, after all, it was just a legendary artifact.

However, being listed as one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Artifacts is naturally no small feat.

Legend has it that it can destroy the heavens and the earth and devour all the gods.

However, the universe is so vast, while the Eastern Emperor Bell is merely a divine artifact created in one particular realm. Even if it can destroy the heavens and the earth, it is still only within that realm.

Qian Ye pondered, no matter how powerful the Eastern Emperor Bell is, as long as it's not in someone else's hands, that's fine.

After all, it's in my own hands; if it's going to be ruined, it's my responsibility, not someone else's.

Then there's nothing to worry about.

Being invincible is great. Although it can be lonely, it also allows you to find interesting people, do interesting things, and see scenery that others can't.

"Qian Ye, thank you for the delicious food. I'll never forget it." Feng Xiaoling patted her belly, still feeling unsatisfied after eating and drinking her fill.

Qian Ye tidied up the kitchen utensils before going over and sitting down next to her.

You can also smell a faint fragrance emanating from her.

This is a unique fragrance that belongs to a woman, especially to a young woman in the prime of her life.

I've never had a boyfriend or had children, so I don't have any other flavor.

After a while, Feng Xiaoling's face gradually turned red, and her heart began to beat faster.

She never felt this way when she was with other people before. ♨😂 😺ൠ

But for some reason, my heart started racing today when I was facing this stranger.

Feng Xiaoling also discovered that she seemed to have a strange fondness for him.

Qian Ye looked into the distance. "It was nothing, no need to be so polite. Meeting is fate, and we are destined to be together. I think we can take it a step further and become friends."

Ah... isn't this a bit too fast?

Feng Xiaoling pondered, unsure of what to say.

Seeing how shy she was, Qian Ye stopped teasing her. "Miss Feng, I've heard that your cousin Feng Xiaotian is exceptionally talented, the strongest genius in your academy, the team captain, and the future dean's successor. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoling turned bitter. "Yes, my cousin is the most talented person in our family this generation, and he's also the son of my uncle, the hospital director."

"I also heard that you are the only daughter of the previous dean?"

"Yes, but my dad died young. An accident took his Life, and then my mom, grieving for him so much, lost her appetite and soon fell ill, passing away not long after!"

"In the end, I was the only one left living in this world. Fortunately, I am strong and have persevered until now, and I have grown up."

She was an orphan.

Qian Ye placed his hand on her head. "I'm sorry, I reminded you of painful memories again."

Feng Xiaoling shook her head. "I'm fine, I'm used to being alone."

How old are you this year?

"Twenty-one"

"Hmm, you're a grown woman now. By the way, do you have a boyfriend?"

Why did he ask that?

Could it be that he has fallen in love with me?

Feng Xiaoling blushed and thought for a moment, "No, I've never had a boyfriend. Although many boys have pursued me, I haven't been interested in any of them?"

"Why don't you like me?" Qian Ye was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"I don't know, I just don't like them, that's all."

Qian Ye smiled and said, "A girl your age should be in the prime of her youth, thinking about romance. Why don't you have any feelings for her?"

Doesn't he know that he's a girl and that asking such questions makes him shy?

Feng Xiaoling smiled helplessly, "It's not that I don't feel anything, it's just that there are some things I can't let go of. For example, right now, as the only child of the previous dean of the Godwind Academy, I have only mediocre talent."

"I'm already twenty-one years old, and I'm only at level twenty-seven in cultivation. How can I possibly be in the mood for romance when I'm so pathetic and constantly being ridiculed?"

"So I practiced diligently, practiced, and practiced some more, but I made no progress whatsoever."

"I don't know why, no matter how hard I try, I still can't compare to others, I'm still stuck in the twenties."

"If this continues, I'll be thirty years old, and I don't know if I'll even be able to break through Level 30. Maybe this is all I'll ever be."

"Although I'm not afraid of failure, I've never been defeated by repeated failures."

"But one failure after another has left me exhausted, and time is slipping away. So, Qian Ye, do you think there's any hope for me?"

Qian Ye: "Yes."

He grasped her right hand, looking at her encouragingly. "If I say you have it, then you have it. Do you believe me?"

"Oh?"

Feng Xiaoling smiled knowingly, taking it as a joke.

Qian Ye knew that she didn't understand him at the moment, so naturally she wouldn't believe what he was saying was true.

"Leveling up isn't difficult, at least not for me. As long as I'm here, reaching Level 30 will only take one night."

Hehehe~

Feng Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh at his words.

She gently slapped him with her plump, white hand, like a lotus root. "Qian Ye, you're so mean! I'm already in such a miserable state, and you still have the heart to joke with me!"

Qian Ye was speechless. She had clearly spoken the truth, so why didn't the other woman believe her?

Feng Xiaoling suddenly stood up, grabbed his hand, and said, "Qian Ye..."

"Just call me Brother Ye?"

Uh~

Feng Xiaoling shook her head. "Brother Ye... how about we go to my house?"

"Your home? Don't you live at the college?"

"To be honest, it's a house left to me by my parents, right next to the college. Our family's residential area is just a small gate to the left of the college's wall."

Other visiting students and teachers live in the college dormitories.

"I see." Qian Ye nodded and followed her.

Sure enough, when Feng Xiaoling arrived at the left side of the academy wall, there was a small iron gate standing inside the wall.

Pulling open the iron gate leads to the other side.

Qian Ye glanced inside and, sure enough, there was a residential area with about a dozen small courtyards.

Then, led by Feng Xiaoling, Qian Ye arrived at the last small courtyard inside, where there was a fairly large house.

"Brother Ye, this is my home."

"Very good."

Feng Xiaoling pushed open the courtyard door and walked in with Qian Ye. She asked him to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard while she went inside to make tea for the guests.

My gaze swept across the residential area, which was connected to the college and surrounded by high walls, almost completely isolated from the outside world.

The houses are not crowded, they can get sunlight, the air circulates well, so they are dry, and there are flowers, trees and plants, making it a very garden-like residential community.

"Miss Feng, how have you considered that matter?" Qian Ye asked after taking a sip of tea.

I think the taste is alright.

However, for a seasoned tea connoisseur like him, Feng Xiaoling's tea brewing was really quite mediocre.

However, the water used for brewing tea was excellent.

"Which matter?" Feng Xiaoling, confused.

"As I just mentioned, I can help you level up."

"Really?" Feng Xiaoling thought he was just joking and didn't take it to heart at all, but she didn't expect him to take it so seriously.
