Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 76 Qin Li: Do you like me?
"How did Fairy Qin see through my identity?"

Lin Changyue sighed and asked with a wry smile.

It can be regarded as an acknowledgement of one's identity.

The opponent has already made a name for himself and is going all out right away. There's no point in hiding your moves, as it will only leave you with numerous loopholes.

"Back when I was hunting down Master Feng Dan, I sensed Fellow Daoist Lin's aura. But that was just a fleeting glimpse, and the sense wasn't genuine. Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Lin has been keeping his abilities secret for the past two years, never revealing his true strength. Therefore, despite meeting him multiple times, I haven't been able to connect Fellow Daoist Lin with that aura I sensed back then."

"It wasn't until today, when Fellow Daoist Lin exposed his powerful spirit to save me, that I suddenly remembered."

"Of course, I also had some doubts. I wondered if the person who saved me just now was my master's old friend. But after I entered the market and explored around, I found nothing."

"I'm already 80% certain in my heart that the person who saved me is you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Qin Li didn't beat around the bush and told the truth.

After she finished speaking, she bent down and bowed, giving Lin Changyue a full thank you, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for saving my life."

She was actually not that afraid of death and was very calm when preparing to die, but it was naturally good to be able to survive.

"Fairy Qin, you're welcome. Please stand up quickly."

Lin Changyue raised his hand and said, "You know, our Lin family and the Liu family have always been enemies. Liu Chengfeng is also an enemy of our Lin family. It is only natural for me to take action."

Qin Li shook his head and did not argue about this matter. Instead, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you are at the ninth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Changyue's heart tightened, and he even had a sense of foreboding. He said, "Fairy Qin, I did have some opportunities, which is why your spiritual cultivation far surpasses mine. However, I'm sorry I can't..."

This is why he doesn't want to reveal his identity.

It is really unbelievable that someone who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining possesses such a powerful spiritual power.

Even the old soul grandfather who was beside Chen Ping at the time only regarded Lin Changyue's soul as the middle stage of foundation building.

Now that Qin Li asked about his cultivation, Lin Changyue subconsciously thought that she wanted to explore his secrets.

of course.

Based on his understanding of Qin Li, this fairy might not have any bad intentions or want to covet anything.

Or maybe it's just pure curiosity.

But Qin Li had no such intention at all. She quickly interrupted Lin Changyue's impulsive response and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it's not appropriate to act rashly. Even if your soul is powerful enough to rival a Fake Dan True Person... it's still too dangerous to face a true Jindan True Person."

Lin Changyue burst out laughing, not being able to understand the woman's train of thought for a moment.

She was not curious about why her soul was so powerful, nor was she curious about where her real treasure came from. Instead, she was discussing with herself whether she should take action?
"Fairy Qin means that I did something wrong?" Lin Changyue asked.

Qin Li still looked at Lin Changyue with her typical calm eyes, but this time Lin Changyue could vaguely see a different emotional color in her calm eyes.

She stared for a moment before asking seriously, "Why did Fellow Daoist Lin risk his life to save me? If you had chosen to stand by and watch, there would have been no danger. Even if Liu Chengfeng was vindictive, he would not have dared to slaughter innocent people and massacre an entire city of cultivators. Otherwise, even the Liuli Sect would not be able to protect him, and he would have been attacked by the entire Yu Kingdom's immortal cultivation community."

"Or perhaps, Fellow Daoist Lin is absolutely confident in his own Soul Treasure. He has a record of defeating or even killing Jindan Zhenren in the past, so he would take action."

After saying this, seeing Lin Changyue's hesitant and conflicted expression, Qin Li added, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please tell me the truth, okay?"

Seeing Qin Li's serious expression, Lin Changyue's original intention of making excuses for the situation was put aside. After thinking for a moment, he said, "To be honest, I did consider standing by and watching at first. As for Jindan Zhenren, I naturally have no experience fighting against them. Today is my first time. Before this, the most I've fought was those in the early stages of foundation building. So facing Liu Chengfeng, I really don't have much confidence. I can only say that I'm taking a gamble."

The emotion in Qin Li's eyes seemed to become more obvious, and he pressed on, "But you have to know that if you lose the bet, and your spiritual power can no longer pose a life-threatening threat to Liu Chengfeng, then after he has dealt with me, he will definitely not let you, Fellow Daoist Lin, go."

"Maybe. But I was lucky and won the bet. Liu Chengfeng didn't have any soul-defending magic weapon. Maybe it was because he hadn't been in the Dan stage for long, so his soul was not strong enough. He was scared and fled in a panic after being hit." Lin Changyue said with a smile.

Qin Li shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Lin, you still haven't told me why you risked your life to do this."

"Alright." Lin Changyue thought for a moment and then laid it bare. "I feel that Fairy Qin, such a beautiful person like you shouldn't die like this. It's such a pity. I wanted to watch from the sidelines, but when I saw you were in danger, I found I couldn't bring myself to do it. Also, although I'm not absolutely sure I can repel Liu Chengfeng, I still have some confidence and hope, so I think I can give it a try..."

"In short, it's a combination of both. Things happened so suddenly and so quickly that I didn't have time to think. I just acted on impulse."

Qin Li heard Lin Changyue's heartfelt thoughts, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her delicate and elegant face. She said, "I've heard that Fellow Daoist Lin is a man who cherishes women. Although he has married many wives, he dotes on each of them. Even those without spiritual roots, he would give them the Rejuvenating Pill with spirit stones."

Lin Changyue didn't pay attention to the other party's teasing, but was slightly distracted by the smile.

It was the first time he saw a smile on Qin Li's face, and he felt as if spring had returned to the earth and flowers were blooming.

What a pity. The famous flower and the beautiful woman are in love with each other. There are many famous flowers, but fairies don’t like to smile.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for saving my life." Qin Li thanked him again earnestly, saying, "Although Fellow Daoist Lin said he acted impulsively, this is the first time in this world that someone is willing to risk their life for me."

Her master, Chi Lian Zhenren, was also very good to her and gave her a new life. Her brothers and sisters were also very good to her.

but……

But no one would act impulsively for her like Lin Changyue did, and would consider more.

"Fairy Qin is too polite."

Lin Changyue felt a little uncomfortable being so grateful to the beauty.

However, no one knows how Fairy Qin will repay him with practical actions?

It can't just be a verbal thank you.

That would be a bit lacking in sincerity.

Just as Lin Changyue was silently complaining in his heart, Qin Li's next words shocked him and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Qin Li looked at him with her beautiful eyes, seeming to be filled with tenderness and shyness, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have another question for you. Do you like me?"

Bang bang bang!
Lin Changyue felt his heartbeat quicken significantly. He had never liked to take the initiative and preferred to be passive, so he fell into hesitation and entanglement.

What does this mean?
If I answer "yes", can I win the girl right away?
I feel that this Fairy Qin is quite honest. The fact that she asked such a question means that she has already made up her mind to use the most classic way of repaying the favor, which is to pledge herself to him, right?
After a mental struggle, Lin Changyue nodded, "To be honest, I do have a good impression of Fairy Qin."

After finishing speaking, Lin Changyue couldn't wait to ask, "What about you, Fairy Qin? Do you have any feelings for me?"

Under Lin Changyue's expectant gaze, Qin Li shook her head and said decisively, "I don't like it."

Lin Changyue: ...

He felt like he was being turned upside down!
Qin Li, you are such a fool! I just risked my life to save you, and you are playing tricks on me like this?

I never thought you were a bad woman!
You don't like me, so why do you ask me why I like you?
Qin Li continued with a bit of doubt and bewilderment, "Many people have told me that they like me and have been pursuing me, but I rejected them all. I have never thought about liking anyone or forming a Taoist partner with anyone."

Lin Changyue: ...

Good guy, after teasing me, you come to Versailles again. You want to hurt me, right?
Lin Changyue was silent and didn't want to talk anymore.

Since you have never thought about liking anyone, why are you asking me?
"Because I've never liked anyone before, I'm not sure what it would feel like to like someone."

Qin Li looked at Lin Changyue and said seriously, "So, I can't tell you for sure right now. If you were in danger, would I be able to do what you did today, disregarding my own life and trying to save you? Naturally, I can't say I like you, Lin Daoyou."

In Qin Li's view of right and wrong, liking someone cannot simply mean thinking that person is good, and it should not just be verbal expression.

True love should be like Lin Changyue, who would risk his life to rescue the other person when they are in danger.

Otherwise, if she just thought someone was good and liked him/her, then she must have liked many people in Liaoyuan Fairy City before.

Before she failed in her Dan formation and was hailed as the successor of Liaoyuan Immortal City, countless people pursued her.

Although she ignored most of them, like strangers, there were a few true geniuses who cared for her and made a lot of efforts for her, and she had a good impression of them.

"sweat……"

Lin Changyue's originally angry and embarrassed mood was instantly calmed down. He had misunderstood Qin Li.

"Fairy Qin, you place too much emphasis on the word 'love'," Lin Changyue explained. "In fact, in this world, most love isn't enough to make one person sacrifice their life for another. Even most Taoist couples can't do that. When faced with a life-or-death crisis, they'll choose to flee on their own."

"Is that so?"

Qin Li frowned slightly, but still said persistently: "But Fellow Daoist Lin, you did it! I will also try hard to 'like' Fellow Daoist Lin."

"Okay." Lin Changyue was helpless.

Fairy Qin, there's actually no need for our relationship to escalate to this level in one step.

I can accept marriage first and love later!
