Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 75 Cui Xiangxue (An extra chapter added as an emergency)
Cui Xiangxue bit her red lips lightly. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but lie on the quilt and cry.

She thought to herself, why is my life so miserable? Not only did I have to get married to a rooster, but I also ended up spending a night of pleasure with a stranger without knowing why.

She was filled with shame and wanted to hang herself with a white silk ribbon. How could she ever face Zhao Kun again?
However, she soon remembered that Senior Brother Chen had promised to come and take her to the Three Immortals Cave today.

She cried for a while, then silently wiped away her tears.

That's right. Heading to the Three Immortals Cave and embarking on a journey of cultivation will allow you to sever ties with worldly affairs and completely forget what happened last night.

Thinking of this, Cui Xiangxue became stronger.

But the stronger she appeared, the more pitiful she seemed.

Fortunately, she was clear-headed. She put away the old sheet, took out a new sheet and put it on, thinking that she would find an opportunity to get rid of the old sheet later, and she must not let the Zhao family find out anything.

Fortunately, after breakfast, everyone in the Zhao household went out to look for Zhao Kun, and she easily took the old bed sheet to the kitchen to burn it.

Before long, Senior Brother Chen and Su Qing appeared at the Zhao residence.

Only then did the Zhao family learn that Cui Xiangxue had been found to have spiritual roots and was about to become a disciple of the Three Immortals Cave, thus becoming a cultivator.

The Zhao family members were all astonished. After a moment of confusion, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Master Zhao sighed that Kun'er was not fortunate enough to have such a son.

The others sighed that there was a difference between immortals and mortals, and it seemed that Zhao Kun was destined not to be with Cui Xiangxue.

He married a woman with spiritual roots, but failed to seize the opportunity on their wedding night, remaining husband and wife in name only, without any real marriage.

After Cui Xiangxue became a celestial master and severed her ties with the mortal world, the title of husband and wife between the two of them was no longer valid.

It was at this moment that Master Zhao realized that Cui Xiangxue's willingness to marry Zhao Kun was purely out of gratitude for the kindness between the Zhao and Cui families.

He kept repeating, "Good boy, good boy."

I couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this scene of parting, Cui Xiangxue also shed tears repeatedly, sobbing uncontrollably.

She was reluctant to leave her father, Cui Sheng, and worried about how he would take care of himself after she left.

Senior Brother Chen took out a pill and used it to reshape Cui Sheng's meridians.

In less than half an hour, Cui Sheng's injuries were healed, his meridians were reshaped, and he became strong and powerful, even recovering to his peak martial arts cultivation level at the early stage of internal strength.

The Cui father and daughter were immediately moved to tears by Chen's gratitude, feeling they had no way to repay him.

Senior Brother Chen smiled and said that this was a small gift for Junior Sister Cui, and there was no need to be polite.

Zhao Yan was envious. If her father were to take this pill, it would surely allow him to stand up again. However, since such a pill was so precious, she couldn't very well ask for it.

He only thought that when Cui Xiangxue became a powerful immortal master in the future, he might be able to ask her for one.

After giving a few more brief instructions, Senior Brother Chen took Cui Xiangxue and left Wuzhen.

The news that Cui Xiangxue had been found to have spiritual roots and was taken away by the disciples of the Three Immortals Cave quickly spread throughout Wuzhen, becoming a hot topic of discussion in every household.

The story of Cui Sheng's meridian reconstruction has also been circulated in an almost mystical manner.

The Xu family sent people with many gifts and silver, hoping to restore the past relationship with the Cui family, since Cui Xiangxue also has Xu family blood flowing in her veins.

However, Cui Sheng ruthlessly kicked him out. He had just recovered his initial level of internal energy cultivation and was worried about having nowhere to put it to use.

Master Zhao invited Cui Sheng to move into the Zhao residence.

We're all family now, and you, Cui Sheng, are all alone. Staying at the Zhao residence will at least give you someone to look after you.

Cui Sheng declined, saying that he was currently able-bodied and planned to find a way to earn some money. If the time was right, he would marry a young woman and have another child with her.

He also had his own plans. After all, Cui Xiangxue had joined the immortal sect and severed her ties with the mortal world. She would no longer have much to do with him, her father. He still had to consider how to take care of her in her old age and see her off in death.

Master Zhao nodded in understanding. Cui Sheng had truly found a second spring in his life; congratulations!

The Zhao family is still busy searching for Zhao Kun.

Originally, Fairy Su had mobilized the Green Bamboo Gang to help search everywhere and put pressure on Zhou Mu and the Blind Taoist. However, after sending Cui Xiangxue away, she became less concerned about the Zhao family's affairs.

In her view, if Zhao Kun and Cui Xiangxue had consummated their marriage, then the marriage would be set in stone. Even if Cui Xiangxue chose to sever all ties with the Zhao family in the future, it would still be impossible for her to have no connection with the Zhao family at all.

But now, Zhao Kun not only hasn't consummated his marriage with Cui Xiangxue, but even their wedding ceremony was conducted by a rooster.

What kind of marriage is this?
It was all just a farce. Cui Xiangxue can simply refuse to acknowledge it from now on, and the Zhao family won't be able to say anything about it.

Soon, there were hardly any people left in the backyard of the Zhao residence.

Ji Cheng was carried out of the bridal chamber by Zhao Yan.

Master Zhao remained seated in the rattan chair in the backyard, instructing a servant to fetch Da Huang from the small hill behind the house and tie it to the old persimmon tree. Zhao Yan gave the instructions and then went out to search for Zhao Kun.

"Wang!"

Back in the backyard, Da Huang barked at Ji Cheng.

It tried to call Ji Cheng out last night, but Ji Cheng didn't respond. It also couldn't sense Ji Cheng's presence, so it wanted to ask Ji Cheng what he was doing last night.

Ji Cheng glanced at it and said, "Don't ask about adult chickens!"
With a thought, Cui Xiangxue's information immediately came to mind.

Name: Cui Xiangxue

Age: 17

[Innate Talent: Above Average]

Realm: Mortal

【…】

This is all the basic information available for now. Once Cui Xiangxue enters the Three Immortals Cave to begin her cultivation, Ji Cheng will be able to see what Cui Xiangxue has learned.

He could directly browse through the information Cui Xiangxue had learned and check her cultivation progress.

The title "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken" is incredibly useful.

Most importantly, this effect is not only applied to Cui Xiangxue alone. If Ji Cheng has another spouse in the future, she will also be included in the category of "following the chicken after marrying a chicken".

Now, Ji Cheng has so many useful titles that he can't possibly wear them all, which is giving him a bit of a headache.

He urgently needs to break through to the first-tier demon beast level to increase the quota for wearing another title.

By nightfall, Zhao Kun had still not been found.

Da Huang barked at Ji Cheng, signaling him to go find Zhao Kun together.

It is very loyal to the Zhao family, and now is the time for it to use its tracking and searching abilities.

Ji Cheng nodded and told Da Huang to lead the way. Kun Kun was too pitiful, and he didn't want Kun Kun to die like this.

While the Zhao family members were asleep, a chicken and a dog sneaked out of the Zhao residence.

……

In a cave about 30 miles north of Wuzhen.

Zhao Kun was tied to a stone chair, his mouth was stuffed with a rag so that he was almost numb, his face was ashen, and his breath was weak.

He had been kidnapped for some time, and the one who kidnapped him was the blind Taoist priest.

To evade the search by Fairy Su, the Zhao family, and the Green Bamboo Gang, the Blind Taoist priest led Zhao Kun to four or five different locations.

Meanwhile, the blind Taoist priest hadn't had a proper chat with Zhao Kun yet, because he was busy dealing with the questions from Fairy Su and the Zhao family.

At this moment, the blind Taoist priest entered the cave and took out the rag that had been stuffing Zhao Kun's mouth.

　Hmm, an extra chapter needed.

　　After the last chapter came out, some of the feedback and comments really messed up my mentality, and I didn't even feel like writing anymore.

　　In fact, when Cui Xiangxue discovered her spiritual root, it was already destined that she could not be a couple with Zhao Kuncheng.

　　Surprisingly, this plot twist still disgusted quite a few people.

　　Hopefully, this chapter will improve everyone's experience.

　　In addition, let me explain.

　　This book itself is in the style of the Taoist esoteric school. At the beginning, the protagonist's position in the Zhao family is that of an observer.

　　Including the fight against the wolf demon, the protagonist could choose to intervene or not, and could leave the Zhao family at any time.

　　But as the story unfolds, viewers develop a strong sense of identification with the protagonist within the Zhao family.

　　This is my fault for not handling it well; I portrayed the Zhao family atmosphere too well.

　　I sincerely apologize to the readers who were disgusted by this book. I'm truly sorry; I only wanted to write a "funny" plot, and I never expected everyone to find it so toxic.

　　This is a serious statement, not something to be joked about.

　　Hopefully, the plot will develop in a way that improves the viewing experience.

　　If you can't accept this and want to drop the book, there's nothing I can do. I just ask that you be gentle with your criticism.

　　Corporal Little Bean salutes everyone!
