Chapter 377 - 176: The Peach Blossoms Say They Once Killed in a Frenzy

Luo Ling Immortal called Fan Wubing over.

"Sister Ling Xian, what’s the matter?"

Luo Ling Immortal had already heard about what her great-grandfather did, and upon hearing him call her "Sister Ling Xian," she couldn’t help but smile,

"You’ve changed your tone quite quickly. Why not cut to the chase and just call me sister?"

Fan Wubing responded awkwardly, "Well, it hasn’t happened yet."

Luo Ling Immortal waved her hand dismissively, "I couldn’t care less about you kids’ matters. Just don’t end up scaring Qingyao into hiding under my table again."

Fan Wubing blinked, "Hiding under the table?"

Luo Ling Immortal remembered her sister’s strict injunction not to speak of this and quickly cleared her throat to change the subject,

"Let me ask you, you came to the northern lands to look for your senior sister at the Sea of Eternal Life, right?"

Fan Wubing nodded, "Yes."

Luo Ling Immortal shook her head, "The Sea of Eternal Life is currently complex and chaotic. I wouldn’t recommend going there right now. It’s not an ordinary sea; both space and time are highly disorderly, and no one can guarantee what you might encounter there."

"Disorderly space and time?"

"Yes. If you encounter spatial turbulence, you might abandon your body and escape, but if it’s temporal turbulence... turning into dust in a breath is not uncommon." Luo Ling Immortal looked at Fan Wubing, "I know you have quite the talent, but even the tribulation-crossing experts dare not mess with time turbulence."

Fan Wubing frowned, this disrupted his plans a bit.

He had planned to stay at the Luo Family for a few days and then head to the Sea of Eternal Life to find his senior sister on his own.

"So when will it stabilize?"

Luo Ling Immortal said, "Early March next year."

"Early March? That’s..."

"Exactly, that’s when the Dao Trial at Wangxian Pavilion opens. They specifically chose the sea opening time for the trial, and naturally, the trial location is the Sea of Eternal Life." Luo Ling Immortal said, then laughed, "However, I know you’re a restless person, so I have a recommendation for you."

Fan Wubing felt embarrassed, "Is that what Sister Ling Xian thinks of me..."

"Of course, apart from your appearance, you and your senior sister are cut from the same mold." Luo Ling Immortal mused, "You’re restless, she’s restless. You have a lot of people around you, so does she."

"What!" Fan Wubing raised his voice, "Someone dares to covet my senior sister!"

Luo Ling Immortal gave a sarcastic smile, "Can’t handle it?"

Fan Wubing said with confidence, "Why would I be bothered? Anyway, my senior sister only has eyes for me, and she won’t pay attention to anyone else until my illness is cured."

"And what about after you’re cured?"

Fan Wubing was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to do.

Luo Ling Immortal sighed internally, shaking her head, "Still just a kid after all."

Fan Wubing didn’t want to think about it, so he said, "Sister Ling Xian, just tell me the place you recommend."

"On August 3rd, the Eternal Night Snow Mountain will have its once-every-sixty-years sunlight period, lasting for half a year. The scenery is great, it’s full of Dao insights, and there are all kinds of rare ingredients for you to pick. Go and have some fun."

"Sounds good, thanks, Sister Ling Xian."

"We’re family, no need for thanks."

After some more chatting, Fan Wubing took his leave.

Not long after he left, Luo Qingyao crawled out from under the desk happily saying:

"Thank you, sister!"

Luo Ling Immortal asked, "If you want to go with him, why not just invite him directly?"

Luo Qingyao sniffed, "I’m too shy. If I just invite him, wouldn’t that... wouldn’t that be a date?" she murmured bashfully.

Luo Ling Immortal was dumbfounded, "Qingyao, weren’t you eager to stick to your senior brother before! How come now that there’s an engagement, you’re acting all reserved?"

"It’s different, before was before, now is now!"

"What’s different?" the sister asked humbly.

"Oh, you’d never understand even if I told you! You’ve never even dated anyone!"

Saying this, Luo Qingyao quickly ran out.

Luo Ling Immortal was so annoyed her cheeks hurt, "Smitten and forgetting family!"

...

"Man’Er, the once-every-sixty-years sunlight period at Eternal Night Snow Mountain is coming. I heard there are many rare ingredients there that you can’t find elsewhere. I want to collect some, you know, food is one of my few interests. Do you want to join me?"

Fan Wubing said while lying on the balcony of Fu Manman’s room, basking in the sun.

Fu Manman, who was inside practicing, opened her eyes.

"How long is the trip?"

"Half a year."

"Half a year?!" Fu Manman hesitated, "I’m afraid not. The Dao Trial starts early next March, and I haven’t formed the Dao Platform yet..."

"Your cultivation is enough, I can help you form the Dao Platform."

Fu Manman glared, "Are you planning to help me with minor achievements too, help me with Mahayana, and help me ascend through tribulation?!"

Fan Wubing sensed her anger and awkwardly said, "Well, it’s not impossible."

"Nonsense!" Fu Manman said quietly, "I’m not crippled; I can walk on my own. Do I need you to carry me? Fan Wubing, that’s annoying talk. Don’t say that again."

Being called by his full name for the first time, Fan Wubing immediately caved; he knew Fu Manman was always very strong-willed about cultivating, and except for asking about doubts, she never wanted his help at all.

Before, when he saw himself practicing, with great Gathering Spirit effect, he invited her to practice together, but she refused, even deliberately practicing when he wasn’t.

"Alright. Then you focus on preparing for your exam, I won’t bother you. Chan’Er’s afraid of the cold, I’ll just go by myself."

Fu Manman paused, "Why don’t you invite Qingyao?"

"Uh, you don’t mind?"

Fu Manman turned her head, "Would it matter if I did? Fan Wubing, I can’t control who you like. But I hope you won’t easily hurt others..."
