Or he is a man, it would be fine not to be married either.
Itâs indeed inconvenient now.
Shi Qingjun closed her eyes and again felt that Xu Changâan had a great impression of this senior sister who sold him spiritual water and herbs at a discount. Gaining his trust, introducing Yun Qian as a friend... there might still be some chance.
Cultivation?
What cultivation.
Shi Qingjun had reached the end, and no longer needed conventional cultivation. What she needed was an opportunity, unknown where, to take her further.
Perhaps, this opportunity was just to make a bosom friend.
"Hmm..."
Thinking of Xu Changâan teasing a cat, Shi Qingjun was contemplating whether to also get a Li Hua cat, to hold and wander around him more often.
Not just to cater to his likes.

"Changâan, whatâs that sound?" Qinling came out of the room with a flushed face and then saw Xu Changâan crouching under the Beauty Fruit Tree she cultivated, and from that direction came a strange purring sound.
"Junior Master Qin." Xu Changâan coughed and stood up, unexpectedly saying, "You have a cute little creature too?"
Earlier, Qinling was rummaging for things for him to bring to Zhu Pingniang, and Xu Changâan felt it inappropriate to stay inside, so he came out, not expecting to see a cute kitten in the courtyard, couldnât help but reach out.
"Oh, why is the little creature out of its nest?" Qinling picked up the small kitten and placed it on her shoulder, "Wasnât I driven out from the Steward Hall of Celestial Bright Peak? Idle as I am, I thought of raising something small to pass the time."
Celestial Bright Peak, being the Sect Leaderâs tribulation site and the White Jade Purple Thunder landing point, had already been divided by various powers.
For someone like her with no backing, it was a leisurely life.
"The tabby is very cute, Junior Master has great taste." Xu Changâan said seriously.
Indeed, people who like Li Hua cats canât be bad.
"Very cute indeed." Qinling blinked, and then... seemingly casually asked, "Kid, I heard that in those brothels, the girls often have Li Hua cats to alleviate loneliness, is that true?"
Seeing Qinlingâs somewhat bashful expression, Xu Changâan immediately understood and quickly said, "Junior Master, thatâs true. Iâve been to Flower Moon Building a few times and saw quite a few Li Hua cats there, Senior Zhu also likes them and often plays with the cats."
"Thatâs good." Qinling nodded, looking at Xu Changâan with a gaze as gentle as water.
This child... is indeed very clever and charming.
Moreover, thinking that Xu Changâan came specially today to deliver Jade Dew Wine, she was even happier.
Even though... this Jade Dew Wine wasnât given to her by Zhu Pingniang but rather was meant for Li Zhibai, and only given to her because Li Zhibai didnât want it.
But Qinling was still very happy.
She knew some things about Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniangâs relationship.
Not sisters, yet closer than sisters, in Zhu Pingniangâs heart, Li Zhibai undoubtedly held an extremely important position.
Therefore, Li Zhibaiâs opinion of her would surely influence Zhu Pingniang.
Now, this jar of wine, Li Zhibai even had her student deliver it...
Qinling felt that her sentiment was at least acknowledged by Li Zhibai.
Thus, looking at Xu Changâan, she liked him more and more, thinking of his close relationship with Yun Qian, she took out a box of elixirs from her Storage Ring and gently opened it.
"Xiaochangâan, I have here an elixir that can enhance marital affection. Would you like to try it?"
"..."
Xu Changâan looked at the elixir wrapped with the golden-threaded red pattern, and the corner of his eye twitched.
