Hong Zhu leaned close to Xiao Chen's eyes, giggling as she asked, "Why don't you sleep on the bed? It's such a big bed, are you going to let me sleep alone? "
Xiao Chen sensed a fragrant orchid scent lingering at the tip of his nose. When he opened his eyes, he found that Hong Zhu was right in front of his face, staring at him with wide eyes, almost kissing him. He hurriedly leaned back to put some distance between them, then said with a bitter smile, "Miss Hong Zhu, please don't joke with me. You and I aren't really husband and wife, so of course we have to sleep separately. Otherwise, wouldn't that be taking advantage of you?"
"Aiyo, I didn't think that your thinking would be so traditional!" Hong Zhu seemed to never tire of teasing Xiao Chen. Leaning on his shoulder, she giggled and coquettishly said, "But I can't sleep alone at night, so what do you think I should do!"
"Ahem, that can't be, right?" Xiao Chen took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "According to what you've said, you've had someone accompany you to sleep every night? It seems that you've been living quite a good life! "
"Look at what you're saying, Big Sister will never sleep with someone she doesn't like!" Hong Zhu used her jade-like finger to poke Xiao Chen's nose, pursing her cherry lips, and said, "Besides, the Qin Family thinks that we're husband and wife. If we don't make some noise at night, they will definitely suspect something, don't you think so? Little Brother Xiao Chen … "
Hong Zhu's voice carried a hint of seductiveness, as if there was a soft feather sweeping across one's heart, causing one's heart to itch, as if there was an inexplicable heat rising from that part of one's body.
However, Xiao Chen had already experienced it this time, so he continued to maintain a clear mind and calmly retorted, "How could the Qin Family be so bored as to lie outside our room and eavesdrop on us instead of sleeping? You're thinking too much, and I'll know whether or not someone is eavesdropping outside, so you don't need to worry. "
"You …" Hong Zhu was a little displeased to see that this brat refused to take the bait no matter what. He simply grabbed Xiao Chen's clothes and shook his body as he shouted in a fit of pique, "I don't care, you're going to sleep with me in any case! Otherwise, I won't let you cultivate in peace! "
Xiao Chen slightly closed his eyes, his body swaying along with Hong Zhu's pulling. However, his breathing became long and steady, as if he had entered into a state of cultivation, completely unaffected by Hong Zhu.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was completely unmoved, Hong Zhu loosened his grip in frustration and hatefully glared at him, thinking to himself, am I really that unattractive? You don't even have the interest to take another look? Keep pretending. One day, you'll suffocate to death!
Staring at the unmoving Xiao Chen, Hong Zhu's eyes turned and he suddenly thought of another idea. With a smile, he suggested, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, why don't we dual cultivate? Let's use your cultivation method. Big Sister doesn't want to be some low-level cultivator who can only be a laborer in the cultivation world and be looked down upon by others. I also want to cultivate. No matter what, I have to advance to the Golden Core stage first! "
Xiao Chen moved slightly and opened his eyes. He stared at Hong Zhu and asked, "Are you sure? If you want to cultivate, with your current strength, you can only start from the lowest first layer of Qi Condensation. Although the spiritual energy in the cultivation world is abundant and you don't need to refine pills to help you break through, if you want to advance to the Golden Core stage or even higher, you can only do it slowly like before. "
"Don't I have you with me?" Hong Zhu's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of trust. "My current cultivation is too low. I can't play any role in the cultivation world, nor can I be of any help to you. If you can help me advance quickly through dual cultivation, Big Sister will definitely become an expert very soon!"
Xiao Chen had originally considered Hong Zhu's suggestion. Because the cultivation methods of devil cultivators, martial cultivators, and cultivators — which were also known as immortal cultivators — were different, they were divided into different levels. Therefore, even if Hong Zhu was a Venerable before, she would not be of any use in this world. At best, she would be a bit stronger and could be used as an excellent "laborer".
Fortunately, although the cultivation methods of the two were different, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could be shared. As long as one knew the cultivation method, they could start from the beginning and step into the ranks of cultivators.
This was Hong Zhu's current situation. If she wanted to become a cultivator, she would have to start from the lowest level, the Refinement Stage. She would have to slowly accumulate and break through step by step. If she wanted to level up quickly, she would have to resort to dual cultivation.
However, Hong Zhu had no interest in other men. Now that there were no other girls around, Xiao Chen naturally became the only suitable candidate.
Fortunately, the two had already dual cultivated several times before and had seen all the places they should see. Dual cultivation was very logical and did not feel awkward.
Upon hearing Hong Zhu's suggestion, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before agreeing to it.
After all, Hong Zhu's words did make some sense. Now that Cheng Mengying was not by his side, it would be good if he could cultivate another immortal cultivator to help him. Although he did not expect Hong Zhu to quickly advance to the Profound Ascension stage, as long as she had the ability to protect herself, it would be fine.
After making up their minds, the two of them went to bed, turned off the lights and began dual cultivation.
At first, Hong Zhu was a little uncomfortable and could not skillfully control the scarce yuan qi in her body. However, with Xiao Chen's gradual guidance, Hong Zhu slowly learned how to circulate the cultivation method and entered a clear state.
Xiao Chen let Hong Zhu practice the Heaven Seizing Fortune Battle Art, which was the normal version given to him by the Elder Heaven Ancestor. Because the cultivation of the Heaven Seizing Fortune Battle Art was too unpredictable, Xiao Chen was a little worried, so he chose the safer one.
Fortunately, although Hong Zhu was only at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage, she was extremely intelligent and had an outstanding mind. After the initial awkwardness, she had already grasped the essentials and was able to smoothly cultivate.
Early the next morning, the Zhao family's meeting room was already gathered with the three elders in charge of the family, as well as Zhao Wendeng and his father. Everyone had been called to prepare for a meeting to discuss the matter of Guardian Zhang's murder and how to deal with it.
"Now, the first thing we need to confirm is whether Guardian Zhang was killed by Xiao Qiang or by the experts sent by the Qin family." Zhao Wendeng's father, Zhao Ximu, glanced at Guardian Zhang's corpse that had been moved to the meeting room and at Guardian Zhu, who had his arms crossed and was silent with a dark expression.
"I thought about it for a long time last night and have my own opinion. Let everyone hear it." Zhao Wendeng knocked on the table and said his analysis, "In my opinion, Guardian Zhang should not have been killed by that brat Xiao Qiang!"
