Chapter 133: The Encounter with the Melon King (Part Three)

“Great! You’re finally awake!”

Yue Hongling was so emotional that she broke into tears of joy.

Bai Qiulan’s condition nearly scared her to death; another episode of Chaos Yin Poison hit, and this time it was worse than before.

Last time, Bai Qiulan just fell unconscious, but now, while in her stupor, she was continuously moaning in pain.

Sun Ruowei felt utterly miserable.

Watching her close friend suffer like this, her medical knowledge was of no help, leaving Sun Ruowei deeply frustrated.

Bai Qiulan slowly opened her eyes, still in pain.

“Master, how are you? Are you feeling any better?”

A difficult smile appeared on Bai Qiulan’s face.

“I’m fine, don’t worry, I’m fine now.”

Yue Hongling was furious, “Did Senior Brother do something to you? You fainted right in front of him, and he didn’t even care! Is he even human?”

Mentioning Lu Ye was a bad idea; as soon as he was brought up, Bai Qiulan’s eyes suddenly darkened.

“It’s not his fault; I fainted after he left, he doesn’t know.”

“Master, you should let Senior Brother help you with the poison! Every episode gets worse; sooner or later, you won’t be able to hold on!”

“No, no need…”

“Master!!!”

“No need!”

Sun Ruowei watched this unfold, realizing that in the end, all of it led back to Lu Ye.

She had to find Lu Ye!

She couldn’t let her dear friend slip away into death bit by bit.

She got up and left.

Heading toward Lu Ye’s residence.

At that moment, a figure walked toward her.

Sun Ruowei stopped, gazing at the stunning figure approaching.

Just one look and her heart surged with an indescribable awe; the multi-colored gown looked like it was woven from the essence of Heavens and Earth, and the enchanting figure was a perfect interpretation of beauty, with a face that was the embodiment of heaven’s affection—beautiful and genuine.

Sun Ruowei had heard the other girls talk about a stunning woman appearing beside Lu Ye, always going on and on about how beautiful she was. She had been skeptical.

But how beautiful could she possibly be?

Among those present—Yue Hongling, Shangguan Huanling, Bai Qiulan—weren’t they all beauties?

Each one more beautiful than the last?

The key point was that she was right there holding the fort while Yue Hongling blabbered on about how stunning other women were.

Sun Ruowei could only scoff internally.

What a bunch of blind folks, completely clueless about the awe-inspiring beauty right before them.

But now, seeing this woman, Sun Ruowei was utterly stunned.

Alright, maybe she was a bit too self-assured.

It was hard to imagine that such beauty truly existed in the world, one that could overshadow her own.

“Shen Xitang, greetings Fellow Daoist!”

Shen Xitang regarded Sun Ruowei, her eyes twinkling with joy, her attitude unprecedentedly warm.

Fellow cultivator indeed!

Having Sun Ruowei around made Shen Xitang feel like she wasn’t alone on this path!

“Fellow… Fellow Daoist, hi, I’m Sun Ruowei…”

Sun Ruowei stumbled over her words a bit.

“Sister Ruowei, don’t be nervous! I feel a connection, I felt it the moment I first saw you; it felt so familiar. Could it be we share some common ground?” Shen Xitang finally found her fellow cultivator and felt elated, smiling happily.

When she smiled, it was as if the world lost its color.

Sun Ruowei was momentarily captivated.

“What’s wrong? Is my smile ugly?” Shen Xitang touched her face.

Did she warp her features from smiling too hard?

“No, no, it’s not ugly; it’s too beautiful! Fellow Daoist, you are truly the most beautiful person in the world. Any girl who sees you would fade into obscurity.” Sun Ruowei sincerely praised.

“But you mentioned feeling familiar; what common ground could you mean?”

Sun Ruowei felt a bit jubilant; perhaps her beauty was finally being recognized!

Shen Xitang’s greatest charm had to be her beauty, and she too was beautiful—how delightful!

“I don’t know either; how about we each share our preferences and see if they align?” Shen Xitang suggested with a smile.

Preferences…

Sun Ruowei felt a bit disappointed.

Didn’t she get that their commonality was their looks? Why couldn’t she see that?

For such a stunning girl, was she really blind to it? How infuriating!

“I’ll go first; I love delicious food,” Shen Xitang said.

Sun Ruowei shook her head, “I’m not very interested in food; I love medicine.”

Shen Xitang shook her head too.

“I’m not very interested in medicine; I enjoy gossiping.”

Sun Ruowei spoke up, “I’m not that into gossip… What did you say?”

Sun Ruowei’s eyes widened in shock.

Shen Xitang was beaming inside but pretended to be a bit shy, almost embarrassed.

“I… I like gossiping.”

“Gossiping about watermelons?”

“No… it’s more about other people’s love-hate relationships.”

At that moment, Sun Ruowei’s eyes went even wider.

She absolutely could not fathom how such an exquisite woman had a penchant for such lowly gossip.

Indeed, beautiful ladies have commonalities after all!

“I love gossiping too!” Sun Ruowei exclaimed excitedly.

“Really?” Shen Xitang replied, her face filled with surprise.

“I can’t tell a lie! I’m super into it, especially when it’s about people close to me. If I catch even a whiff of something, I’m dying of curiosity!”

“Me too! I love gossiping about the people around me! Ahhh, we’re truly kindred spirits; no wonder I find you so agreeable!”

“Yeah, yeah, that’s so true! It’s such a coincidence! I usually eat watermelon alone with no one to share it with. Do you really like it? Can I share some with you?”

“Of course! I have heaps of watermelons too—with no one to share them, I’m about to explode with frustration!”

The two were buzzing with excitement and happiness, grabbing each other’s hands, their eyes sparkling with recognition of their newfound camaraderie.

They exchanged Transmitting Stones right away for future watermelon gossip.

“By the way, where are you headed?” Shen Xitang asked.

“Well, I’m going…”

Sun Ruowei suddenly calmed down.

This Shen Xitang, she seemed to be Lu Ye’s woman.

“Do you know Lu Ye?” Sun Ruowei queried.

“I do; I get the juiciest gossip from him, tons of it—it’s super interesting,” Shen Xitang casually replied.

“Huh? He must have plenty, right?”

“Absolutely! I could give you a random example; like the matter concerning his master, Bai Qiulan. She’s afflicted with Chaos Yin Poison, all because of her **Chaos Yin Divine Body**.”

“As the saying goes, one cannot grow with solitary Yin or Yang. Bai Qiulan’s situation is a case of an excess of Yin. Lu Ye definitely has a solution. Can you guess what it is?”

Shen Xitang had a peculiar look, her eyes brimming with laughter, even covering her mouth with her hand.

Sun Ruowei leaned in closer to listen; though it was about Bai Qiulan’s danger, she was simultaneously indulging in gossip.

This was simply perfection!

“What is it?”

Sun Ruowei whispered.
