Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Xi Heng's voice was muffled; he was exhausted and his speech was somewhat incoherent, and his words were rather casual.

"I've already rested for a night over there, but I'm still not quite clear-headed. I'll go back to my bedroom and rest for a while longer..."

"'Over there,' where is that?" the blonde girl next to him asked after a moment's hesitation.

Xi Heng subconsciously became alert for a moment, then shook his head without answering.

She mumbled vaguely, "I want to go back to my room."

"Let me help you." Chen Fenghuo finally showed his gentleness, taking Xi Heng's hand and putting his arm around her shoulder, and they walked together toward the corridor.

"Thank you..." the white-haired girl said softly.

"There's no need for thanks between us." Chen Fenghu shook his head: "I've cleaned the bedding over the past ten days, so the bed should be more comfortable. Get some rest."

She gently held Xi Heng's hand, only to find it icy cold.

“…It’s so good to have you,” Xi Heng mumbled.

Chen Fenghuo pursed his lips and escorted her into the room.

Before he had taken more than a few steps inside, Xi Heng spontaneously leaned over the soft, fluffy bed, moving his body to sink into the thin blanket.

Before she had even taken off her clothes, she closed her eyes.

Within seconds, his breathing became even and long.

The cultivator's control over her body allowed her to fall asleep quickly.

Chen Fenghuo closed the window screen, making the room even darker.

Turning to look at Xi Heng on the bed, he muttered to himself, "What exactly did I do these past ten days... to be so exhausted?"

However, judging from her expression, she clearly wasn't going to answer.

She silently squeezed her left hand, which had just wrapped around Xi Heng's fingers, a few times, and felt that it was even more sticky than before.

I don't know if it was because of catching the bait, or because it got on my fingers when I was holding the other person's slender fingers.

She took another sniff, and that unpleasant scent lingered on her fingers.

"I have a feeling that this is not a good sign." Chen Fenghuo stepped out lightly and immediately released a little spiritual energy to turn into water and wash away the sticky stains on his hands.

A host of questions swirled in her mind, but since Xi Heng wouldn't say anything, she had no way of knowing.

But as I left the room and walked down the corridor, I subconsciously uttered another name:

"...Is it because of Yin Wanluan?"

"You two have such a good relationship."

Although she hadn't figured out exactly what had happened, her sixth sense had already conveyed a need.

She also wanted to have a better relationship with Xi Heng.

　……

One day later, early morning.

The white-haired girl lying paralyzed on the bed slowly opened her eyes. A faint, dim light shone through the window, causing her to rub her eyes again.

With sleepy eyes half-closed, she turned over in bed.

"Those feelings still linger in my body..." she said, somewhat distressed.

It's probably because the dual cultivation lasted for too long, causing the body to spontaneously form a kind of memory.

All those actions are etched into my mind, influencing my body's reactions.

In short, she is not able to forget it naturally for the time being.

Although as long as one activates the sword heart, one can use the power of the mind to sever these inexplicably binding shackles.

But she was conflicted and didn't want it to just disappear—this persistent feeling brought inexplicable desires, and she wanted to satisfy these desires that had continued since their dual cultivation before cutting them off.

As she drifted into consciousness, Xi Heng pursed her lips and placed her fingers on the clothes that had accompanied her to sleep, slowly untying the knots at the neckline and chest.

Just as she was about to lift her clothes, a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor outside poured cold water on her burning desire.

"Tsk." The girl pouted.

Living together has many advantages, such as having someone to accompany you every day, which prevents you from feeling lonely.

There's no need to worry about the fish in the flower beds and ponds dying; every ten days or so, you can enjoy a hearty meal to satisfy your appetite.

But this is the downside...

You might get disturbed when you just want to do something alone.

The footsteps grew closer, and Xi Heng slowly placed his hands beside his pillow, watching the hazy sky outside ripple.

My mind is blank.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and a female voice outside asked if she could come in.

The white-haired girl on the bed responded with a soft "hmm," and the wooden door slowly opened.

The sweet aroma of hot porridge wafted over, making her shift her position to look.

As you can see, under the slightly dim light, Chen Fenghuo walked steadily, carrying a set of bowls and plates.

"I've cooked some spirit rice porridge and brought it over. Would you like some?" she asked gently.

Compared to before, there was a greater sense of intimacy—as if it was done intentionally?

Xi Heng believed that this was because he had been away for several days and the other party missed him a little, so they became close to him.

Deep down, I felt a complex mix of apologies.

But on the surface, he replied naturally: "As a cultivator, you shouldn't need these to supplement your nutrition, right?"

"Even so, there must be some benefits to dining, right?" Chen Fenghuo answered easily, came to Xi Heng's bedside, and put down the fragrant plate.

"Hmm..." Xi Heng sat up from the bed, with only his legs still covered by the blankets.

"Are you feeling any better?" Chen Fenghuo asked softly.

"I was just a little mentally exhausted before, nothing serious, I've recovered after resting." The girl picked up the warm bowl of porridge and tasted the thick porridge. "So sweet."

"I deliberately added extra icing sugar," Chen Fenghuo said simply, then asked, "Could you tell me where you went during those ten days?"

She used the Purifying Flame Emblem to inquire repeatedly, but received no response, and thought something had happened to Xi Heng.

Because I had been worried for so long, I wanted to ask even though I knew it was impolite.

"It's nothing," Xi Heng said, his eyes flickering, as he began to drink his porridge.

Chen Fenghuo didn't press further: "If similar incidents occur again, could you please let me know in advance when you plan to return?"

The white-haired girl blinked again. She thought that her relationship with Yin Wanluan was not yet that intimate.

However, feeling a little guilty, he nodded anyway.

"Furthermore, if there is anything I can do to help during the operation, just call me anytime," Chen Fenghuo said earnestly.

Before the words had even finished, Xi Heng suddenly stopped drinking his porridge.

She tried her best to control her movements, moved the porridge aside, and then coughed lightly a few times while covering her mouth.

Involuntarily, she imagined asking Chen Fenghuo for help during their dual cultivation journey.

That's really too strange.

"What's wrong?" the blonde girl asked, puzzled by Xi Heng's attitude.

"It's nothing, it's alright." She coughed a few more times and explained, "Only I can handle this, it's really not appropriate for others to get involved, but I understand your good intentions, thank you."

Chen Feng sensed a hint of evasion and thought to himself:

My relationship with Xi Heng is indeed not close enough... If I want to know more about him, I can only take it slowly.

"Then forget it. How about rice porridge? Is it palatable?"

"good to eat."

Seeing that the topic had finally been changed, Xi Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

The two accompanied each other with their own thoughts, and time slowly passed.

Afterwards, we chatted casually about everyday things, and ate two bowls of porridge.

After Chen Fenghuo left with the tray and bowls, Xi Heng stayed on the bed for a while, reflecting on his current state, and muttered to himself:

"You've recovered your spirits, but you still feel sticky... Go take a shower."

Then she slowly got up and took off her clothes, which were no longer comfortable.

Find a bathrobe in the room and put it on.

They walked around the corridor to the bathhouse, only to find Chen Fenghuo already sitting in the bath.

Warm mist slowly swirled around it, and a few flower petals were scattered on the water's surface, exuding a faint fragrance.

In the dimly lit room, a blonde girl with her hair wrapped up was using a wet towel to wipe her fair skin.

The soft sound of dripping water failed to deter the girl's footsteps.

Chen Fenghuo saw Xi Heng's figure through the white mist. After a moment's hesitation, he put on a natural expression and asked, "I'm just about to take a bath, shall we go together?"

The bathtub is big enough that we can bathe together and also use the hot water that the other person has already prepared.

If it were the old Xi Heng, she might have agreed immediately—she had done everything she was supposed to do in her previous life and wouldn't have hesitated.

However, she is still constantly thinking about Yin Wanluan, and her state of mind is not suitable for getting close to him again.

"I'll wait a moment." He shook his head and refused.

"Hmm..." Chen Fenghuo splashed some water and responded with his head down.

She noticed that Xi Heng's attitude towards her was different from before.

Why?

Time keeps slipping away.

After Xi Heng finished bathing, he put on his bathrobe and was about to return to his room to continue resting when...

Before they had even reached the halfway point, they returned to the hall and saw Chen Fenghuo setting out the plates.

"Is there lunch?" She stopped in her tracks.

“I specially prepared extra dishes because the Holy Maiden just sent a message asking if I was in the courtyard.” Chen Fenghuo said casually, “After I answered, she said she would come here at noon to discuss matters… This is also a form of hospitality.”

Xi Heng blinked as he heard the rest:

"Yin Wanluan is coming?"

"That's right, what's the problem?"

"without……"

For some reason, Xi Heng always felt that letting Yin Wanluan, who lacked common sense about emotions, meet Chen Fenghuo... might not be a good thing.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 215, Chapter 206, Treating Each Other Like Guests

In the front yard, Xi Heng stood under a tree by the pond, quietly watching the white-barked tree with some pale, tender branches and leaves beside him.

It is only early spring now, and the petals and leaves are just beginning to grow, not yet lush and not much to see.

It was lunchtime, and she stood under the tree in the courtyard, not to admire the peculiar floral scenery that she had seen countless times before.

Instead, they waited under the tree closest to the courtyard gate because they heard familiar footsteps coming from outside.

rustle,

The footsteps grew closer and closer.

This inexplicably made Xi Heng feel a little nervous.

Once the other party arrives, they might bring up topics like dual cultivation.

After all, Yin Wanluan did not have the common concepts of the mortal world, and had no taboos about this, treating it as ordinary cultivation.

However, for some reason, she didn't want Chen Fenghuo to know that she had been cultivating with Yin Wanluan for a long time.

Xi Heng hesitated, wondering whether he should remind the other party not to say too much.
