Chapter 37 What Kind of Person to Be

Su Yingxue looked around Lu Qingchuan's 'home'.

"You sit for a while first," Lu Qingchuan asked, "Are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink?"

The girl shook her head.

"Yingxue, I want to ask you something."

In the spacious living room, Lu Qingchuan put on an apron and looked at the girl sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Hmm?"

Su Yingxue turned her head, smiling gently at Lu Qingchuan, her demeanor quiet and sweet, exuding the aura of a teenage girl in her first love, leaving a rosy impression.

Lu Qingchuan felt a bit nervous. "You..."

As Lu Qingchuan walked towards the kitchen, he casually asked, "What do you think 'demonic cultivators' are like?"

Su Yingxue tilted her head and said casually, "Probably people who do evil deeds, or want to do evil deeds. What do you think?"

"I'm not sure."

Lu Qingchuan approached the cupboard, intending to get a knife, "I read the news about the Qinggang Bar. I wonder why demonic cultivators always have to do bad things..."

"Because they have a goal that makes them need to become stronger, but they don't have enough time to do it naturally, and they need a shortcut, some malicious demonic arts are shortcuts, right?"

Lu Qingchuan's hand suddenly paused.

The Blood Demon Training Method practiced by Mudan helped him quickly advance to the 8th level of Qi Refining.

If Mudan devoured all the customers in the bar, he would successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Qingchuan didn't want to hide anything from Su Yingxue.

He even had the urge to tell Su Yingxue everything, calmly guiding himself to confess, not wanting to scare Su Yingxue.

Until he realized that even though he could lie about the origin of the "Cataclysmic Chaos Immortal Scripture," even make Su Yingxue believe he was a good person...

How could he explain the 'miracle' of his overnight advance to the Foundation Establishment realm?

It would definitely raise suspicions, there were too many unexplainable aspects, and Su Yingxue was exactly the kind of girl who was prone to overthinking.

It's so complicated... Lu Qingchuan pursed his lips.

"Little Chuanchuan, are you scared?"

Lu Qingchuan turned around and saw Su Yingxue on the sofa, looking at him with a gentle gaze.

"I will protect you," Su Yingxue said softly and firmly with a smile.

Lu Qingchuan smiled bitterly. It seemed like he had become the passive one in this relationship.

However, the bitter smile of the young man, in Su Yingxue's eyes, made her pause slightly, her watery eyes slightly dimming.

As Lu Qingchuan was wiping his hands with hand sanitizer, the sound of the girl's footsteps approached lightly, and she hugged his waist.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

"No more taking pills," Su Yingxue said.

Lu Qingchuan shook his head, "I won't take them anymore."

"Also, don't think about practicing demonic arts. You don't need to rush to become stronger. The saying that you made in the gym sounds cool, but I don't like it."

The girl, who was usually a member of the literature club, enunciated each word slowly, "If love between two people can last for a long time, what's the rush in the day-to-day?"

"Have you heard it before?"

"'The Weaver Girl of the Magpie Bridge.'"

Lu Qingchuan felt his waist being hugged by Su Yingxue soften.

This sentence hit Lu Qingchuan hard.

Su Yingxue's voice was very pleasant, like the pure and flawless snow melting in early spring, falling into Lu Qingchuan's heart, not chilly but slightly warm.

She continued softly, "I don't want to eat anything."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm a 9th-level Qi Refining genius, I'm not hungry even if I don't eat for a month."

"Then I'm not hungry either."

Lu Qingchuan thought he was still a big demon in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Then I want you to accompany me."

"Okay."

"To take a bath."

"?"

The rustling sound of water rippled, and then fell silent as the faucet turned, and the crystal-clear water column trickled down from the warm wall.

The slender and delicate toes lightly touched the water surface of the bathtub, seeming to scald, and the pearl-like toes curled up, and then the gracefully curved calves slowly fell into the water, causing gentle ripples.

As the beauty bathed, her graceful figure was also elegant and refined, with her long black hair cascading down, covering her immaculate and flawless back.

It wasn't until the snow-white body of the girl sat in his arms that Lu Qingchuan finally came back to his senses.

Lu Qingchuan hugged the trembling Su Yingxue gently and asked softly, "Is it too hot?"

Su Yingxue shook her head gently, her ears blushing and cute, whether it was due to the high temperature in the bathroom or the circulation of her blood under the urging of shyness.

"Your hands..."

"What's wrong?"

"Your fingertips..."

Lu Qingchuan coughed lightly. "It's a boy's instinct."

"...Do you want to touch it?"

"...Mm."

Su Yingxue grabbed Lu Qingchuan's hand and pressed it against her body. She stretched her body like a little cat, leaning against Lu Qingchuan's chest, her ink-black eyes gazing up at the white mist above.

The warmth of Su Yingxue's skin made Lu Qingchuan feel even warmer and softer than the hot water in the bathtub.

So, Lu Qingchuan's other hand also moved mischievously, sliding down her flat belly towards the secluded area.

"It's so warm," she smiled. "Your hands are very smooth."

"As long as you like it," Lu Qingchuan said.

Su Yingxue closed her eyes in silence, quietly feeling Lu Qingchuan's gentle movements, her cheeks flushed and alluring.

"There's the sound of water," Su Yingxue said softly, as if she wanted to melt into Lu Qingchuan's embrace, seeking refuge in that gentle warmth, like a cat basking in the sun.

Lu Qingchuan's movements stopped for a moment.

"I hate noise," her lips moved slightly, whispering softly, "I don't like arguing with people, but my parents seem to have endless quarrels every day..."

"Even though they work hard from dawn till dusk every day, their time together is so short, yet they spend it all complaining to each other."

Su Yingxue's lips curled up with a touch of loneliness. "Without sincere communication, every little thing in daily life becomes a thorn in the heart, and over time, it all becomes unbearable. But..."

Her voice became weak and plaintive. "I don't know what to do, and my parents don't want to spare any time from their arguments to listen to me."

Lu Qingchuan felt Su Yingxue in his arms softening, as if she were about to melt away.

"I've always been obedient," Su Yingxue said, lowering her eyelashes, "they used to tell me to study hard."

"Recently, they've been saying that I should become an immortal in charge of life and death. They even want me to separate from you."

The girl lowered her voice. "Lu Qingchuan, it seems like everyone has dreams, but I don't. I don't know what kind of person I want to become, the more I think about it, the more confused I become, and sometimes some scary thoughts pop up."

Su Yingxue opened her eyes and looked up at the young man behind her. "What about you?"

"As for me..."

The boy smiled without hesitation.

"Just like many children want when they're young, I've always wanted to grow up to be one of those outstanding adults in society."

Su Yingxue was taken aback, curious and puzzled. "What does it take to be considered outstanding?"

"Well, it should be..."

Su Yingxue felt the boy seemed to freeze for a moment.

Lu Qingchuan lightly rested his chin on Su Yingxue's slightly blushing jade shoulder.

"I'm still searching for the answer."

The lamplight was quiet, and the sound of dripping water gradually disappeared.

Su Yingxue turned around and kissed Lu Qingchuan.

It’s a long kiss.

"Take me with you to find it," Su Yingxue hugged his neck, her smile gentle and moving.
