Song Cha: “……”
Song Cha looked at Chu Man with a complex expression, somewhat at a loss for words.
She hadn’t expected to be forcefully kissed by Chu Man, and even more so, she hadn’t expected that Chu Man’s forceful kiss would be witnessed by Shao Yumiao.
What kind of fate could lead to such an event?
Just thinking about it left Song Cha speechless.
What kind of fate could lead to such an outcome?
“I’m fine.” Song Cha’s complexion looked somewhat pale.
“Cha Cha, you’re not fine.” Shao Yumiao hugged Song Cha, “I’ve said it before, your master is problematic, she has ulterior motives.”
Song Cha: “……”
Previously, when Shao Yumiao said that Chu Man had ulterior motives, Song Cha didn’t believe it. But she never expected that Chu Man really did have ulterior motives towards her.
And these motives were not anything else but… liking her.
As a girl who appears as a goddess on the outside but is a green tea bitch on the inside, there really are a lot of people who like Song Cha.
But until Song Cha decides who to be with, these people are just backups.
No, or rather, although these people are powerful, they still haven’t met the standards of a partner in Song Cha’s eyes.
Song Cha doesn’t believe in love; she believes more in powerful strength. If one day she were to be with someone else, then that person must possess great strength.
And obviously, Chu Man meets this criterion.
Thinking this, Song Cha’s gaze towards Chu Man became somewhat peculiar.
Chu Man’s strength is indeed very strong, and she has powerful alchemy skills. Such a person seems to really like her.
If this weren’t the world of a book, seeing how much Chu Man likes her, Song Cha might have already given in.
Although Chu Man is a woman, her strength is formidable!
But this is the world within a book, and the protagonist of the book is Long Aotian.
Therefore, when Long Aotian’s fortune is at its peak, Song Cha’s temporary goal is only Long Aotian. Unless waiting until the story ends and the halo around Long Aotian disappears.
However… With Chu Man’s powerful martial prowess and her mastery in alchemy, it would be a real pity to just give up on her.
Thus, Song Cha looked at Chu Man weakly and softly, “Master, did you say… you like me?”
Chu Man was still being pulled by Shao Yumiao, and she was emitting a cold aura due to being interrupted. But seeing Song Cha asking her a question, she still nodded, “Yes, I like you.”
“But, you are a woman, and I am also a woman, how can you like me?” When saying this, Song Cha’s tone was filled with innocence and confusion.
“Cha’er, cultivating immortality is about defying the heavens and living freely.” Chu Man answered without hesitation, “So the most important thing is to follow one’s heart. I like you, even if you are a woman, I still like you .”
“Master, I didn’t expect your state of mind to be so profound.” Song Cha looked at Chu Man with admiration, “To be able to follow your heart like this, no wonder you were able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred.”
“Cha’er is overraising me.” Being complimented by Song Cha on both her state of mind and cultivation, Chu Man’s mood improved.
“No, not at all overpraising.” Song Cha shook her head, “Master is the number one genius in the cultivation world, the only one who has cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage so quickly.”
“It’s not as impressive as Cha’er says. In those years, I mainly focused on alchemy, and cultivation was just by the way.” Being continuously praised by her favorite disciple for both her cultivation and state of mind, Chu Man’s mood became even better.
But before Chu Man could enjoy her good mood for a long time, she noticed Song Cha frowning, looking somewhat pitiful.
She quickly asked with concern, “Cha’er, what’s wrong?”
“Master.” Song Cha lowered her head, “But my realm is not as vast as yours.”
Chu Man: “……”
Chu Man was somewhat puzzled as to why Song Cha would say this to her. It was normal for Song Cha’s current cultivation level, at the Golden Core stage, not to match up to her Nascent Soul stage.
As Chu Man was thinking this, Song Cha spoke again, “So… Master, I cannot accept your feelings.”
Chu Man: “……”
Alright, now Chu Man understood why Song Cha had told her that her realm wasn’t good enough.
This statement existed solely as Song Cha’s reason for rejecting her.
Just as Chu Man was feeling unhappy about being rejected, Shao Yumiao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
“Chu Man, how does it feel to be rejected?” Shao Yumiao’s voice was cold and carried a hint of disdain.
Chu Man: “……”
Hearing Shao Yumiao’s words, Chu Man, who was already upset and angry from being rejected by Song Cha, felt she had found an outlet for her anger.
It was all because of Shao Yumiao.
If it weren’t for Shao Yumiao’s presence, she wouldn’t have felt the need to be cautious and thought about securing her relationship with Song Cha faster, which led to her confessing too soon and being rejected by Song Cha.
Maybe, over time, Song Cha might have grown to like her?
Then, if she confessed, maybe the outcome would have been better?
And just now, Shao Yumiao even stopped her from kissing Song Cha. It was all Shao Yumiao’s fault.
Thinking this, Chu Man found Shao Yumiao even more displeasing to the eye.
But in the current situation, she had just tried to kiss Song Cha, and Shao Yumiao had stopped her.
So, her impression in front of Song Cha must not be good now, and Shao Yumiao…
Thinking of this, Chu Man disliked Shao Yumiao even more.
Just as Chu Man was thinking about how to teach Shao Yumiao a lesson when Song Cha wasn’t paying attention, Song Cha spoke up again.
She looked at Chu Man, softly and weakly saying, “But Master, I will try my best to broaden my realm.”
After saying this, Song Cha’s face even turned slightly red.
Hearing Song Cha say she would try her best to broaden her realm, Chu Man hadn’t yet grasped what Song Cha really meant.
But when she saw Song Cha’s slightly flushed face, Chu Man immediately understood.
What Song Cha meant by “expanding her horizons” was clearly referring to herself, saying she was open-minded enough to accept being with another woman.
So, was Song Cha now willing to try and open her mind to the possibility of being together with her?
The mere thought excited Chu Man.
“Cha’er, you’re so good to your master.” Even the usually proud Chu Man was moved at this moment.
She hadn’t expected Song Cha to care about her so much that she would force herself to be with her just to make her happy.
Seeing Chu Man moved, Song Cha slightly curved her lips, revealing a gentle smile.
Song Cha was very satisfied with Chu Man’s reaction.
Shao Yumiao’s voice carried a hint of confusion: “Cha Cha, can you really elevate your spiritual realm?”
Song Cha’s voice had a hint of uncertainty: “…I should be able to…”
As a green tea, Song Cha’s best skill was keeping backups.
Chu Man was a very proud person. Although she had confessed to Song Cha, Song Cha wasn’t sure if Chu Man would continue to like her if she rejected her.
But with the conversation they just had, it was like a new hope had emerged. Under such circumstances, it was very likely that Chu Man would continue to like her.
Song Cha was extremely proud of her own cleverness.
She even started to feel a bit smug.
Among all the backups she had kept, Chu Man was the number one.
So, Song Cha had already started to think about the possibility of being together with this strong person and alchemy master, if the future plot allowed it and Chu Man still liked her.
Just as Song Cha was feeling happy, Shao Yumiao, who was standing by, spoke up.
Her voice was cold: “Cha Cha, do you want to elevate your spiritual realm?”
Song Cha nodded. To keep up with the lie, she had to pretend to elevate her spiritual realm.
But this shouldn’t have anything to do with Shao Yumiao, right? Why would she ask?
Shao Yumiao’s words interrupted Song Cha’s thoughts about what to do next: “Cha Cha, after you’ve elevated your spiritual realm, don’t stay with Chu Man. Stay with me instead.”
Song Cha: “……”
Seeing that Song Cha didn’t respond, Shao Yumiao wasn’t discouraged and began to list her advantages: “Cha Cha, I am the future sect leader of the Sword Sect.”
Song Cha: “……”
Shao Yumiao: “I will definitely become very powerful in the future, and as long as you’re with me, all my resources are yours!”
