We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

“Elder Hongxia called for me earlier. The day after tomorrow, I am to go to the Phoenix-Bird Secret Realm.”

As Xiao Mo packed, he explained casually.

“And Jingci also sent a letter. The Grand Elder said there is nothing major left on Flowing Sand City’s side now. Once I return from the Phoenix-Bird Secret Realm this time, I am to go directly back to Tushan. So I thought I might as well pack my things ahead of time, so I will not be in a rush when I leave.”

“Really? That is wonderful!”

Xiangniang’s eyes immediately shone with joy, and her whole person seemed to brighten.

“I have long since gotten sick of staying with you in this wretched place. That Xin Xiao’er acts so high-and-mighty every day. Just seeing her annoys me! I wish I could find a few men to give her a proper lesson!”

“Enough. She is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, after all. You would do well to show a little respect.” Xiao Mo sighed, his tone carrying some helplessness.

Aside from being clingy and troublesome, Xiangniang’s mouth truly was too fierce.

Every time she cursed someone, she would casually drag in dog demons and pig demons to defile their entire ancestral line. It was simply unbearable to hear.

“Her? A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator? Her?” Xiangniang blinked, her face full of disbelief, her mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.

“Mm.” Xiao Mo answered, his tone calm. “She has already gone to the Phoenix-Bird Secret Realm. I will meet with her and several other Nascent Soul cultivators outside the secret realm, then act together.”

“Hmph. So what if she is in the Nascent Soul Realm?” Xiangniang curled her lip, her eyes full of defiance. “I still want to take a cucumber and—”

“Cough, cough, cough!” Xiao Mo coughed heavily several times and hurriedly cut her off.

“Fine, I will not say it.”

Xiangniang shut her mouth resentfully, but then she turned and sat down on Xiao Mo’s bed with perfect ease.

The long legs beneath her skirt crossed over each other, and her raised foot lightly kicked Xiao Mo’s lower leg again and again.

“I came to find you today because I originally wanted to ask whether you wanted to go to the Phoenix-Bird Secret Realm together to seek opportunities.” Xiangniang tilted her head, her eyes shifting with a charming light. “Since you have already been sent there, then I do not need to ask. I will go with you!”

“I can go, but you cannot.” Xiao Mo raised a hand and patted Xiangniang’s knee, moving her long leg aside. His tone became a little more serious. “This Phoenix-Bird Secret Realm is not that simple.”

“Not that simple? Young Master, you mean...” After this reminder, Xiangniang faintly guessed something.

“In short, there is no such good thing under heaven.” Xiao Mo explained simply. “With this kind of ancient secret realm, how do you know whether it is a blessed land or a dangerous ground? If it truly is a tremendous opportunity, then why would they announce it to the world and invite everyone to share in it?”

He paused. His gaze fell on Xiangniang’s face, and his tone grew solemn.

“You stay properly in Flowing Sand City. Do not throw your life away for some vague, illusory opportunity.”

“Then why are you still going? How about... Young Master, you do not go either.” After Xiao Mo put it this way, Xiangniang immediately stood, unease rising in her heart. Her tone was full of worry. “No matter how great the opportunity is, it cannot be greater than your life...”

“It is fine. Have I not survived near-death situations every time? Moreover, there will be other Nascent Soul cultivators traveling with me this time. We can look after one another.” Xiao Mo smiled faintly, his tone calm.

After speaking, Xiao Mo extended his hand toward Xiangniang.

Xiangniang looked at that large hand Xiao Mo had extended. She tilted her head slightly, the light in her eyes flickering faintly, then placed her small hand in Xiao Mo’s palm.

Xiao Mo shook her hand off. “I was telling you to give me your military-merit jade token.”

“Ah? Oh... here.” Xiangniang froze for a moment before reacting. She hurriedly took the jade token from her waist and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo’s fingertip lightly swept over his own jade token, transferring half of his military merit into Xiangniang’s token.

“Young Master, what is this...” Xiangniang blinked in confusion.

“For you.”

Xiao Mo handed the jade token back to Xiangniang, his tone solemn as he instructed her.
