From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 373: 365 chapters: Re-enter the Void Space_1

Ever since Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing got married, Bai Qi did feel down for a while, but things eventually returned to normal.

Later on, Cai Cai grew up, and Bai Qi became Cai Cai's Cultivation Mentor. Practically every few days, she would go over to Fang Ren's house for a meal, and take the chance to have some verbal fun with him.

Fang Ren even started to think of her as a female hooligan while he was some kind of enticing young boy.

"You're this old and not hurrying to find a man to marry, just knowing how to flirt with me every day. Aren't you afraid Sister Hui Qing will hit you again?" Fang Ren said helplessly.

"I'm pretty busy with work, so I don't have the time," Bai Qi casually replied with a wave of her hand.

"And yet, how do you have the time to flirt with me?"

"As long as I want to, I can always make time."

"So, you're saying you don't want to get married at all?"

Bai Qi helplessly said, "Marry who? Those about my age, their kids are almost as big as Cai Cai. The unmarried ones, they're all eighteen or nineteen years younger than me. Wouldn't I be a cradle robber then?"

"You only look about twenty-five or twenty-six. If you wanted to get married, there'd be plenty of young guys chasing after you."

Bai Qi patted him on the shoulder with a laugh and said, "Young man, I'm only holding a torch for you. It's not just about holding a torch, I'd go through an abortion for you."

"You're at it again! Who did you learn this from? If Sister Hui Qing heard this talk, she'd beat you again."

"No worries, she can't beat me," Bai Qi said with a laugh.

Fang Ren, somewhat exasperated, said, "You didn't come over this time just to flirt with this forty-year-old uncle, right?"

"Of course not," Bai Qi replied. "I just suddenly felt like checking in on Liu Qianqian to ask how she's been these years, and whether she regrets taking the man I should have been with."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ren's mood sunk even more.

Was Liu Qianqian unhappy?

Without a doubt, that was a torment for anyone.

As for the matter of snatching men, sigh, if it wasn't for Liu Qianqian, he wouldn't be sitting here chatting with Bai Qi now.

Seeing Fang Ren with such a worried face, Bai Qi stopped joking around: "What? Are you so concerned about your first love? Is it that what men can't have always troubles their hearts?"

Fang Ren didn't answer immediately, but after thinking it over seriously for a while, he said, "Not at first, but the more she gave, the more I felt it."

With a smile, Bai Qi said, "That's like having an emotional affair."

Fang Ren replied with a smile of resignation, "The physical one has already happened."

"If there's a first time, there must be a second," Bai Qi commented. "Old Fang, do you think I still have a chance?"

"What?"

"To have an affair with you."

"Stop joking!"

Suddenly, Bai Qi said seriously, "I'm not joking. Look, Sister Hui Qing has been with you for so long, you must be tired of her. Now take another look at me. Although I may not be as young as those girls, with this face, this figure, and these silk-clad legs, how could they compare to me? Most importantly, I'm still untouched. How about it, am I attractive?"

Used to her joking manner, Fang Ren waved his hand dispiritedly and said, "I'm about to call the cops to arrest you for harassing a decent man."

Bai Qi laughed and patted his shoulder. After a while, she spoke again, "Speaking of which, Sister Hui Qing hasn't hit me lately when I verbally flirt with you at your dinner table. Has she prepared herself for you having an affair with me?"

"She's afraid you'll become the second Liu Qianqian," Fang Ren sighed.

Bai Qi nodded with a smile and then turned her attention to Liu Qianqian's situation, asking, "Didn't Sister Zhu Yuan say she might have come to Earth? Have you asked the Liu Family about her?"

Fang Ren waved his hand dismissively again, "My Spiritual Root is almost complete, transferring your gray Spiritual Root to me will probably be useless."

"See, you're guessing too—you're not entirely certain."

"Why are you always coveting my body?"

"Then I covet that you truly love me, but I guess you can't just start loving me all at once," said Bai Qi. "Don't you remember when we were in class, that time you let little Qianye heal me, it somehow led to my breakthrough?"

Fang Ren recalled the incident and couldn't help but blush a little.

At that time, little Qianye hadn't yet developed a tiny tree-person consciousness and ended up binding him and Bai Qi together, leading to some rather embarrassing events.

Eventually, Fang Ren even bought Bai Qi new underwear online.

For some reason, little Qianye seemed quite intent on pairing him and Bai Qi together; he remembered that during school, there was a time when little Qianye actually treated Bai Qi almost like a mother.

But little Qianye was only childlike in thoughts and didn't understand the nuances of affection.

"By the way, have you let Cai Cai try? Isn't her Spirit Form a colorful little being? It resembles little Qianye quite a bit," Bai Qi asked.

"I've tried that long ago. Her Spirit Form and little Qianye have no spiritual connection; it's impossible to awaken little Qianye that way."

Having said that, Fang Ren stood up and, looking back at the giant tree behind him, suddenly proposed, "Although it's definitely impossible for us to cultivate together, we can try sensing it with our consciousness at the same time; maybe that will wake it up a bit."

Bai Qi also stood up, "Let's give it a try, but if anything cough cough happens, you can't let Sister Hui Qing chop me, okay? I'm doing this to help you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ren frowned, "Maybe we should just forget it, if something goes wrong... it would be the end."

Bai Qi laughed upon seeing his serious expression, "Come on, I'm a woman and not scared, what are you, a man, afraid of?"

"I'm really afraid the consequences could be severe."

"And you're not afraid that if we delay any further, Liu Qianqian might run into trouble?"

"Then... if anything happens, we'll stop immediately."

Fang Ren steeled his heart and placed a hand on the tree trunk, once again using his psychic power to sense little Qianye.

Seeing him do this, Bai Qi also placed her hand on the trunk and seriously sensed for the consciousness of little Qianye.

The sea breeze was blowing, and the giant tree that had only branches but no leaves suddenly seemed to come to life.

Its already towering figure began growing rapidly. It pushed the sea water outwards, creating waves, and the gray surface revealed colorful luminescence. It began sprouting leaves and branches so abundantly it could block out the sun.

"It's working!" Fang Ren was overjoyed.

"Stay focused," Bai Qi reminded.

Unbeknownst to them, they had been carried into the clouds by the rapidly growing giant tree.

But Fang Ren still couldn't establish a connection with little Qianye's consciousness.

Suddenly, the growth of the giant tree ceased, and the figures of Fang Ren and Bai Qi standing on the branches also vanished out of sight.

When Fang Ren opened his eyes again, he found himself in the familiar void and saw the World Tree whose end was beyond his sight.

"We're in..."

Fang Ren was surprised; he hadn't expected that their combined efforts could directly enter this space, which previously only little Qianye could lead him into.

"This is... where?"

Bai Qi looked around the unfamiliar space, edging closer to Fang Ren warily.
