The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

After half a stick of incense.

Su Jingzhen had already moved the bathtub back to the kitchen and returned to the quiet room.

At this time, he was extremely excited.

The previous action of covering his eyes, although a bit cowardly, had unexpectedly earned him a point, which was a huge gain for Su Jingzhen, who was desperate for points!

The mysterious woman had changed into the sky-blue clothes that Su Jingzhen had provided, and was now sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.

It was also at this time that Su Jingzhen finally saw the woman’s face clearly.

To be honest, after seeing her face, Su Jingzhen’s heart was moved.

The foundation of her face was not bad, but at this time, there were several long scars slanting across her face, making her look completely different.

The wounds were still fresh and had not yet scabbed over, with flesh and blood slightly exposed.

And on her body, such scars were countless.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t imagine what kind of experience would lead to such injuries.

However, at this time, the woman’s face was extremely calm.

There was no hint of pain or suffering, and she was quietly meditating.

Su Jingzhen was still sitting cross-legged on the cushion, quietly watching over her.

The previous action of covering his eyes had ensured that there was no physical contact between them, and the woman seemed quite satisfied with him.

At least, he didn’t sense any killing intent from her at this time.

“I’m at a No Hostility level with her, which means she won’t have any killing intent towards me.”

He muttered to himself, and at this time, he even felt a hint of gratitude towards this benefactor.

Seeing the scars on her face, he couldn’t help but feel some sympathy.

As the night deepened, about an hour later.

The woman finished her meditation and opened her eyes again.

Those eyes, like a cold winter’s clear spring, were clear and icy cold.

“Tell me your name, and I’ll repay you for today’s kindness. Or, you can directly tell me what you want.”

At this time, the woman’s voice was no longer as cold, but still had a hint of superiority.

“I’ve already gotten what I wanted from you.”

Su Jingzhen relaxed and waved his hand: “We just happened to meet, and I only did a small favor. No need to mention it.”

He had indeed not paid any price for saving her, and had even activated his golden finger.

In any case, he had profited.

The woman looked at him lightly: “Opportunities only come once, and I don’t like to owe people favors.”

In her eyes, Su Jingzhen’s previous actions had satisfied her, but this kind of talk was too low-level.

Saying that he didn’t want a reward was just a way of asking for more.

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen was stunned, and thought for a moment before saying: “In that case, I want to ask for some spirit stones from you. Not many, just a hundred low-grade spirit stones.”

Since she wanted to repay him, helping him pay two years of rent would be great.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the woman’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she looked at him deeply. “Are you sure that’s all you want?”

Su Jingzhen nodded firmly.

The woman said again, “Well, then I owe you this favor first, and I will repay it later!”

She was forced to wear Su Jingzhen’s clothes, and her personal storage ring was lost, leaving her with no belongings.

A hundred low-grade spirit stones, which she wouldn’t have bothered to pick up in the past, were now truly unaffordable.

Su Jingzhen smiled again, ignoring this point.

He then said, “In that case, let’s just forget about it.”

“Your injuries might require you to stay here for a few more days.”

“I am Su Jingzhen, a teacher at the Linjiang City Peach Blossom Alley Enlightenment Academy.

“What is your name, miss?”

She was in the academy, where many people came and went every day.

If she wasn’t careful, she might be seen, and it would be better to be prepared.

Su Jingzhen suddenly introduced himself, causing the woman to pause slightly.

But she still whispered two words: “Shuang Jiang!”

“Shuang Jiang… surprising… interesting…”

Su Jingzhen whispered to himself, not caring whether it was her real name or not.

He smiled again and said, “So, Miss Shuang Jiang, please take a good rest.”

“This place will be busy tomorrow morning, and if you don’t want to see anyone, just don’t leave this quiet room.”

After saying this, Su Jingzhen didn’t wait for Shuang Jiang to respond and directly exited the quiet room.

The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the full moon, like a shy and lovely woman, finally revealed its face.

The moonlight shone on the eaves, and Su Jingzhen looked up at the sky, a smile spreading across his face.

“Tomorrow will be a good day.”

Muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen headed directly to the kitchen, deciding to take it easy for the night.

But at this moment, a line of golden text floated before his eyes again.

【Empathy +1】

Another point!

Su Jingzhen still didn’t fully understand the mysterious golden finger, but he felt that the points were coming in mysteriously.

But isn’t life full of surprises?!

At this time, Su Jingzhen felt that going to the kitchen to rest was quite enjoyable.

……

A quiet night passed.

Early the next morning, Su Jingzhen left the academy before dawn.

Not long after, he returned.

The sound of pounding and grinding came from under the peach tree.

After half a stick of incense, Su Jingzhen finished his task and returned to the quiet room door.

He paused for a moment before knocking on the door.

“Miss Shuang Jiang, it’s me.”

“Come in!”

Su Jingzhen pushed open the door, holding a large bowl in his hand.

Inside the quiet room, Shuang Jiang was still sitting in the same meditative posture.

“Miss Shuang Jiang, I bought some medicinal herbs and prepared a bowl of medicinal paste for you. Although it’s not a spiritual medicine, it should still have some effect on external injuries. Your wound has been left untreated for a night, and applying the paste now should be just right. I’ve placed it here for you.”

Su Jingzhen could see that Shuang Jiang’s complexion was much better than the previous night, and he was relieved that his actions hadn’t caused any problems.

He finished speaking and directly exited the quiet room.

Unless the other party requested, he would never take the initiative to help.

He did this because he had some sympathy and gratitude towards Shuang Jiang, and also because of his golden finger.

Although the ‘No Hostility’ bonus was only 1x, as long as he made an effort, he should be able to accumulate enough points to break through to the second layer of Qi refinement in Shuang Jiang’s presence.

After all, Shuang Jiang was strong, but not heartless.

Su Jingzhen still had confidence in himself.

At this moment, he had an idea, and the panel floated before his eyes again.

【There are still 501 days left before the host’s Dantian is destroyed!】

The prompt was still prominently displayed at the top.

However, Su Jingzhen now felt a sudden sense of relief.

Now that the golden finger had awakened, if he couldn’t solve the dantian problem within 500 days, he would have to think of a way to solve it.

【Empathy with Shuang Jiang: No Hostility

Remaining points: 2】

This section had changed the term “the other party” to “Shuang Jiang”.

【Cultivation: Early Qi Refining (1st layer): 94/100】

The other sections remained unchanged, and Su Jingzhen didn’t add any points immediately.

He planned to save up six points and then break through directly.

The spiritual roots were temporarily not a priority, and the mysterious wooden spiritual roots were enough for now.

Every point had to be used wisely.

His gaze turned back to the quiet room, with a hint of excitement!

In the quiet room, Shuang Jiang’s eyebrows furrowed again.

Su Jingzhen had brought a bowl of medicinal paste, which she could see was extremely cheap.

Its value probably wouldn’t exceed three low-grade spirit stones.

But she had also heard the sound of pounding medicine coming from the courtyard, and her eyebrows furrowed again.

“It’s not easy to be so sincere and kind to others at the bottom of the world of immortality, and to be able to survive until now.”

“This kind of pure goodness… is truly foolish to the extreme.”

Shuang Jiang muttered to herself.

But she still picked up the bowl of medicinal paste and gently applied it to her face.

This cheap thing might be worthless, but for her current situation, it was better than nothing.

【Empathy +1】

Outside, Su Jingzhen, who was walking towards the school, stopped in his tracks, a faint smile on his face.

……

Not long after, Shuang Jiang had just finished applying the medicinal paste when a loud, cheerful voice came from outside.

Since Su Jingzhen had already greeted her last night, she didn’t think much of it.

However, the loud, clear reading voice that came from outside soon after shocked Shuang Jiang.

“The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name.

The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things.”
