Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 5 They're insulting you.

At noon in August,
The sun was extremely strong.

Even standing in the shade of a tree, Meng Bai was still drenched in sweat.

However, although my body felt hot, my heart felt a little cold.

He truly hadn't expected Su Xintang to refuse so decisively.

Without thinking twice, he quickly changed his tune, saying, "It's okay if you're not interested in glass. Have you ever heard of soap? It's used for bathing, and it makes you smell nice afterward..."

“We use purification mantras and rarely take baths.”

"..." Meng Bai.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" Su Xintang was really losing her patience. She was in a hurry, and from her perspective, staying here for even a second longer risked death.

"No, how can you have no ambition at all? You can really get rich!" Meng Bai exclaimed anxiously.

"I'm not interested," Su Xintang said through gritted teeth. She was actually quite tempted, but now was not the time.

"Alright, since you're in such a hurry to go back, I won't stop you. But I don't know if I'll be able to come back, so you have to give me some time to say goodbye to my parents and elders."

In a moment of quick thinking, Meng Bai began to appeal to family ties.

Su Xintang suddenly realized at this moment that she had overlooked something important: if she used the Pillow Technique to go back, she would most likely take Meng Bai with her.

Here, Meng Bai is a living person, only in his early twenties. Although he looks a bit weak, he still has several decades of life left.

But if he went to Hegu, he would be a soul with only one month left to live...

"Miss Su, to tell you the truth, I have a bad fate and suffered misfortune at a very young age. When I was only six months old, my parents abandoned me (to go to work in other places).

My grandmother took pity on me, a poor and vulnerable child, and raised me herself. I was often sick when I was little, and I couldn't walk until I was nine. It was my grandmother's meticulous care that helped me grow into adulthood..."

Meng Bai began to fabricate his past based on the contents of the "Memorial to the Throne".

Su Xintang didn't hear a single word.

She was lost in thought: 'So, if I want to go back, he has to die; if he wants to live, I might be killed by the gods here?'

'Only one of us can live, him or me?'

Thinking of this, her breathing became uncontrollably rapid, her full chest heaving as if she were facing a difficult choice.

To be honest, if anyone else were in this situation, they wouldn't be in such a dilemma. Their own safety would be the most important thing. What does it matter to them whether Meng Bai lives or dies?
But ironically, she really was just like the lie Meng Bai had made up when he was flattering her—very different from others.

She can make quick decisions about making money;
But she hesitated greatly about sacrificing a weak mortal like Meng Bai for her own safety. The two had no grudges against each other, and she hated nothing more than bullying the weak...

'Damn it! Is there any other way to get back?' Su Xintang looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, Meng Bai thought it was the content of the "Memorial to the Throne" that had moved her.

He hastily put all his acting skills to use, and said with great emotion, "Miss Su, without my grandmother, I would not be where I am today. Without me, my grandmother would not be able to live out her remaining years!"

"Phew~~" Su Xintang was already conflicted, and this classic line made her even more overwhelmed.

She let out a long breath, glanced around again to make sure there was no smell of incense, then looked up at the blue sky and gritted her teeth, saying, "Taiyin Xingli..."

"Xiao Meng?" Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly called out to Meng Bai from behind.

Su Xintang immediately shut up.

Meng Bai looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Bu Jie, the female boss of the small MCN company where he worked.

Next to Bu Jie was another female anchor named "Mao Mao".

"What are you doing here?" Bu Jie asked Meng Bai, but her gaze remained fixed on Su Xintang.

Meng Bai didn't answer directly, but naturally changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Bu, you didn't drive today?"

"I bumped into it yesterday, it's being repaired." After saying that, Bu Jie couldn't help but ask, "Is this... your girlfriend?"

Meng Bai originally wanted to answer "no".

But then I thought about it again, and the two of them were still holding hands, so it would be too unusual to say they weren't.

So he could only nod and say, "Yes, they suddenly came to see me from out of town, saying it was a surprise, which caught me completely off guard."

"Oh my, how romantic~~" The female anchor Mao Mao covered her mouth and laughed, while giving Su Xintang's helmet a strange look.

This helmet is too abstract.

However, Meng Bai's girlfriend has a really good figure!
So Mao Mao patted Meng Bai's arm with a smile and praised him, "I didn't know you were so good."

After exchanging a few more polite words, Bu Jie and Mao Mao quickly headed towards the company.

To be fair, sometimes, certain stalemates do require outsiders to break them.

The sudden appearance of Mao Mao and Bu Jie seems to have given Su Xintang, who is in a difficult situation, an excuse to temporarily put aside her problems and crises.

she,
I want to be an ostrich for a while.

Watching the two figures walk away, she even pretended to be curious and asked, "Who are they?"

"The one with short hair is my employer; the one with long hair is my colleague."

"I see." Su Xintang nodded. Suddenly, she abruptly asked, "Does 'Ruhua' mean 'as beautiful as a flower'?"

"Huh?" Meng Bai was caught off guard by the question. Where did Ru Hua's story come from?
What are "diao mao" and "suo hai"?

"Cough~ cough cough..." Meng Bai choked on the question and asked in surprise, "Where did you hear that swear word?"

“It’s an insult. If that’s the case, then your employer is insulting you right now.” Su Xintang said, raising her chin slightly to indicate that Bu Jie and the other person were about to disappear around the street corner.

"?" Meng Bai.

She said, "You bastard, I don't know what kind of luck you had. She even said I was blind to have fallen for a loser like you."

"Huh?" Meng Bai.

"She also said you look awful, and that it would be better for a piece of char siu to be her boyfriend than for you. What is char siu?"

"Fork... I..." Meng Bai was so choked up that he couldn't speak at all.

Damn you, char siu!
You, surnamed Bu, look like a female Zhang Fei, and you still have the nerve to say I'm ugly?
How can that son of a bitch be so despicable?

Meng Bai cursed inwardly, and was about to speak when he heard Su Xintang snort coldly: "Gossipy woman, what does my appearance have to do with her?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai instantly realized that Bu Jie was probably talking badly about Su Xintang again, but the problem was...

"You can hear me from this far away?"

"If you had my level of skill, you could hear it too." Su Xintang's tone was calm, without any hint of boasting.

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai seized the opportunity to probe, "If I may ask, what level is your current cultivation?"

"The Jade Bone technique has reached its peak." Su Xintang did not hide anything.

However, even with such a vague and ambiguous phrase as "the jade bone has reached its peak," Meng Bai still couldn't directly grasp its meaning.

Then he asked, "If we were to categorize the depth of one's cultivation into levels, what level are you at now?"

"The first step in cultivation is to draw the purple energy of the Eastern Heaven into the body to refine the Crimson Spirit, opening the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, which are called the 'Golden Meridians'."

The golden vein contains the vital energy of the spirit, which is used to refine the limbs and bones, first forming 'ice skin' and then forging 'jade bones'. Once the golden vein, ice skin, and jade bones are integrated into one, a divine embryo can be obtained.

Therefore, I have already reached the third step of cultivation and am about to step into the fourth step, the Divine Embryo.

"Ice-like skin and jade-like bones? This is a refining technique unique to female celestial spirits?"

“Men also practice this method. Achieving a fair complexion and jade-like bones is a sign of enlightenment and transformation, and it is not exclusive to women.”

"If I had the chance to cultivate and develop ice-like skin and jade-like bones, wouldn't I become even more handsome?"

“That’s natural.” Su Xintang nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Bai almost knelt down on the spot and begged her to become his disciple.

Can spiritual practice make you handsome?
For this reason alone, I absolutely have to become his disciple!
If you've never been handsome, you have no idea how many advantages there are to being handsome.

However, before that, there are a few things we can ask. Meng Bai asked, "Can you read spiritual roots... uh, bone structure?"

"Inherent bone structure?"

"For example, is it possible that I am a one-in-a-million cultivation prodigy?"

“Obviously not,” Su Xintang replied without hesitation.

Meng Bai almost choked on her decisive manner, and said unconvinced, "Take another look. What can you possibly see with just a casual glance?"

“I looked carefully, and you are definitely not.”

"..." Meng Bai.

Seeing that Meng Bai remained silent, Su Xintang hesitated for a moment, then slowly released her grip on Meng Bai's wrist, and the jade belt also loosened from his forearm.

Immediately afterwards, she took two steps back, solemnly clasped her hands and said, "Young Master Meng, my cultivation has not been easy, and I still have a great grudge to avenge. I absolutely cannot die here. If I offended you just now, please forgive me."

After saying that, she added in her mind: If I offend you in the future, please forgive me.

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

He squatted down on the spot, letting out a long breath to relieve his fatigue, and said, "I'm not a young master. We don't like to call people 'young master' or 'young lady' here. Just call me by my name."

Su Xintang nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

"Are you willing to let me say goodbye to my grandmother?" Meng Bai asked again. To be honest, he was quite surprised. Su Xintang's personality... was really hard to describe.

“Go ahead,” Su Xintang replied.

After saying that, she looked up and glanced around at the tall buildings, thinking to herself: Now that I'm letting you go, you'd better find a chance to escape. I'll come looking for you in three days.

If I cannot find you, or if I am killed by God while searching for you, then that is my fate, and I accept it.

If found...

Don't blame me.
