How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Ning Shuang stood with her arms crossed, watching her with a smile in her eyes, while behind her were Jian Youqing, Si Keke, and others.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yueyue's eyes. "Why are you here?"

"Hmm...you were eavesdropping on me!"

Ye Yueyue's voice carried a hint of embarrassment, which made the three of them laugh out loud.

Si Keke went up to her and said with a grin, "I wasn't eavesdropping on you. I was doing it openly and honestly."

Ning Shuang: "Junior Sister Yue is so eye-catching, it's hard not to see her."

Her cool voice carried a hint of teasing, and her eyes and brows were full of joy.

"Okay, it's my fault for being too dazzling!" Ye Yueyue nodded in agreement, tapping her chin slightly.

Jian Youqing covered her mouth and laughed as she watched from the side.

Yuebao is so cute!

After the sect competition ended, Ye Yueyue returned to her peaceful life of cultivation.

She devoted almost all her time to cultivation.

With the blessing of the Illusionary Spirit Veil, her cultivation speed was actually not slow, but Ye Yueyue was no longer satisfied with this.

Because she clearly knew her own weakness, which was a lack of practical experience.

Ye Yueyue was eager to go out and gain experience as soon as possible, but Yue Feichen did not agree because her cultivation level was too low.

Although life in the sect was comfortable, her growth was too slow. She had not forgotten her ultimate goal.

No matter how much you study behind closed doors, it's just empty talk. During this sect competition, she deeply realized her shortcomings.

So shortly after the competition ended, Ye Yueyue made a decision: she would go into seclusion!

She informed the Xuanling Sect members that she had refined a batch of Bigu Pills and planned to begin her seclusion. Of course, before going into seclusion, she also sent a message to Yu Wan, Ji Feiyang, and others.

[I'm going into seclusion, Senior Brother Yu, wait for me!]

With all distracting thoughts gone, Ye Yueyue immersed herself in cultivation.

She wholeheartedly sensed the spiritual energy in the air, guiding it into her meridians, expanding it, and finally refining it to become part of her dantian.

And so it goes, over and over again.

……

Time flies, seasons change, and winter arrives in the blink of an eye.

When Ye Yueyue came out of her cultivation, it was already past December. She opened the door and saw white snowflakes falling in the courtyard.

The Spirit Gathering Tree was also covered with a layer of pure white snowflakes, and crystal-clear ice crystals hung on its branches, like works of art inlaid with silver edges.

The whole world was covered in silver, and the forests were ablaze with color.

"Has it been that long?" Ye Yueyue murmured to herself.

In fact, she felt it was only a moment ago; she remembered it was only autumn before she went into seclusion.

Suddenly, a snowflake landed in her palm, and Ye Yueyue shivered from the cold. A gust of cold wind blew past and she sneezed violently.

She then realized she was still wearing the clothes she had worn before her seclusion, which were very thin. She went back to her room to change into a thicker outfit, tidied herself up, and then went out.

After summoning the Azure Sky Vulture, Ye Yueyue went to Fu Peak to find Jian Youqing.

As winter approached, the Xuanling Sect was covered with a thin layer of snow, as if it were being gently sheltered by a soft woolen blanket.

Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white, and the white snowflakes add a touch of ethereal beauty to the mountain peaks. Occasionally, you can see cultivators flying on swords on the horizon.

If Ye Yueyue didn't know that this was the Nine Continents, she would have thought that this was exactly the immortal realm she had always dreamed of.

All sounds were swallowed up by the quiet snow scene, with only the distant cawing of crows echoing in the silent air, like a splashed-ink landscape painting.

Ye Yueyue sat on the azure eagle, admiring the snow scene before her.

They soon arrived at Fufeng. No one had passed by Fufeng yet, and Ye Yueyue knew they were all in class, so she went straight to the classroom.

As soon as she arrived at the classroom door, Jian Youqing came out.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Ye Yueyue, and she quickly went to greet her: "Yuebao, you've come out of seclusion?"

"Yes."

Why didn't you tell me?

"That would be too slow, so I came directly to find you!" Ye Yueyue said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jian Youqing's eyebrows curved into a smile.

Ning Shuang's lips also curled up slightly, and the three of them walked out of the classroom side by side.

"How about we go find Coco and have a get-together?"

"Great! Let's celebrate Yuebao's emergence from seclusion!" Jian Youqing's steps became much lighter.

Neither of them refused, and they went to Danfeng together.

Wangyue Garden.

The winter afternoon sun was weak and not warm, but standing among the three was a scorching hot pot, its bright red broth bubbling and steaming, dispelling the chill.

"Mmm, what is this? It's so delicious, Junior Sister Yue!" Si Keke took a bite, her eyes sparkling.

Jian Youqing gasped from the heat, and Ye Yueyue served her another bowl of soup and poured her a cup of floral dew.

"Eat Qingbao slowly!"

"Okay!" Jian Youqing took a big gulp, which relieved her discomfort considerably.

"It's hot pot. You can cook whatever you want yourself, but don't cook it for too long, or it won't taste good!" Ye Yueyue said with a smile, pointing to the rows of ingredients laid out on the stone table.

"Great!" Si Keke squinted her eyes and immediately got to work.

Ning Shuang didn't say anything. She had already cooked a full bowl of meat, dipped it in a little sauce, and put it in her mouth. One bite was pure satisfaction.

Her bright red lips made her even more alluring.

The four of them happily ate hot pot, a warm feeling surrounding them.

"Yuebao, how was your seclusion this time? Has your cultivation improved?" Jian Youqing asked her after the meal, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Hmm, Qi Refining Level 7!"

"Junior Sister Yue is very talented." Ning Shuang's eyes flashed with admiration.

Si Keke looked at everyone with envy, her tone filled with admiration, "You all have talent, but I'm still only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Waaah, even Junior Sister Yue, who started late, has surpassed me. Will we drift further and further apart in the future?"

"Don't rush, you're going to be a great alchemist in the future. So what if you have high cultivation? We'll still be working for you in the future!" Ye Yueyue said slowly.

Jian Youqing and Ning Shuang were still thinking about how to comfort Si Keke when Ye Yueyue said this, and they both laughed.

Si Keke chuckled, amused. "Junior Sister Yue, you're so good with words!"

After spending more than half a year together, they got used to Ye Yueyue occasionally using new words. At first, they didn't understand them, but after thinking about it for a while, they understood what they meant.

"No, it's true," Ye Yueyue said with a light laugh.

Just like in my previous life, when you were an employee, you didn't need to know anything, all you needed was money.

In other words, they go to work, and the boss supervises their work.

Si Keke is extremely talented in alchemy. Even if she is not good at cultivation, she can still comfortably walk this path to the end.

Jian Youqing is also a talented individual, and she is not bad at cultivation either. Her future prospects are immeasurable.

Ning Shuang looked at everyone and sighed, which was rare for her. "Yes, you are all very talented and have a bright future. It seems that from now on, only Junior Sister Yue and I will be able to work for others to earn some cultivation resources."
