Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

"Touch it."

Happiness came too suddenly.

Tan Suiting pursed his lips slightly and raised his hand to tentatively touch it.

Just as I imagined, it feels soft, fluffy, and very comfortable. If you touch it carefully, you can even feel the cartilage under the fur.

Xie Weixing placed the small pearl-like tear he had just shed on the bedside table, lowered his head slightly, and let him touch it.

"Shen Chunri and I. You must be even better to me." Tan Suiting said firmly.

Xie Weixing yawned: "Yeah. You're my best friend."

"I have to be your best friend. You can't abandon me for anyone."

He was drowsy, but still nodded.

Tan Suiting stretched out his other hand, intending to make a pinky promise with him.

Xie Weixing didn't understand, thinking he wanted to hold hands while sleeping, so she didn't hesitate to interlock her fingers with his, burying her head slightly in his chest, her voice slurred with sleep: "Let's sleep."

[My girlish heart is fluttering...]

[The Dragon King is too innocent]

[The Emperor's doting affection is something no one in the Qingyu Sect has ever received before.]

[There is no obligation to be kind to the idiotic main characters.]

Why are you two wearing so many layers while sleeping together? Are you getting ready for winter?

[The one upstairs is directly electrified]

[The three things you, Dragon Palace, will protect in this lifetime: Xie Kunkun, Xie Kunkun's lion ears, and the only place Xie Kunkun holds in your heart.]

[So cute!]

[This sleepy one is a little lion!]

[I can't wait for the sect election the day after tomorrow, these two will blow everyone away!]

[Currently, the observation room is divided into three types of fans: the first wave of "daughter fans," the second wave of "mom fans," and the third wave of "dragon-inspired protagonist fans."]

Do you think fans who only want daughters don't want to be mothers?

[I'm a fan of Xie Weixing's daughter, a fan of Xiaolongdian's mother, and I also ship couples, what should I do?]

[Never mind that. Let each person deal with their own situation.]

[I wish for an angelic girl to join me in this gacha game...]

When Xie woke up the next day, he felt soreness in his lower back and back.

"Little Dragon Prince," his voice was a little hoarse, his hand still being held, "get up."

Tan Suiting was a bit reluctant to get out of bed, so she buried her head on his shoulder, hummed in response, and didn't say anything.

"Get up quickly," Xie Weixing said with difficulty. "I think I've been hit."

As expected, this bed is still too small.

After washing up, the two planned to go to Cold Heart Lake to cultivate. Just as they opened the door, they bumped into Shen Chunri.

The girl yawned: "Good morning."

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly realized something.

"How did you two end up coming out of the same room?"

Tan Suiting: ...

Xie Weixing remained calm: "His bed was dirty; we slept together last night."

Actually, I felt a little guilty. He had spoken ill of someone last night, Xiao Lele.

Shen Chunri found it strange and casually asked, "What were you two doing that made the bed dirty?"

"Tang Su fell onto the bed," Xie Weixing replied.

Tan Suiting remained silent and did not speak.

"Let's go, Dragon Palace," Xie Weixing said. "We're going to Coldheart Lake."

The door opened, and Nie Zhao came out.

"Senior sister," Tan Suiting greeted, "Would you like to go to the back mountain together?"

Nie Zhao shook his head: "I'm going to the Hall of Longevity to discuss the election. Don't cultivate for too long today. You need to get up early tomorrow. This year's sect election is being held at the Dao Seeking Sect, so we need to go there in advance."

The Daoist sect is located in Jingzhou.

Shen Chunri leaned directly into her senior's arms: "Then how about we get the day off? Senior, beautiful senior, is that alright?"

It's like when the final exams are approaching, the teachers are more lenient, and the students are very comfortable.

Nie Zhao nodded: "Alright. There will be no lessons today. You can arrange your own time."

Shen Chunri felt an instant surge of joy: "Really?"

"Um."

"Special training is cancelled too?!"

"Um."

Xie Weixing was amazed and whispered to the person next to him, "Someone with such a high status can just notify you directly if you want to skip class, without even consulting the old man."

Tan Suiting replied, "Senior Sister's words are always as good as gold."

Shen Chunri was still excitedly clinging to her senior sister.

"Don't bother me," Nie Zhao said calmly, glancing to the side. "Xie Weixing, come here, I have something to say to you."

Xie Weixing paused for a moment, then walked over.

"Your spirit beast is prohibited from being used in the sect's selection process," Nie Zhao said. "It's too conspicuous, and since you've only just formed your core, an eighth-tier spirit beast can only be used up to the fourth tier. You don't want to attract attention."

Xie Weixing nodded: "I understand, Senior Sister."

"You have five spiritual roots, but you can only choose one to use. In short, you've already been chosen by the sect, so just take down two of them."

Xie Weixing's eyelids twitched wildly: "Is it really that reckless?"

Nie Zhao nodded and faced them: "You are all the most talented of this generation. Try to conserve your strength and win this round with the least cost. You were personally selected by the sect, and your master and senior uncles know your strength. Our Feng Hua Sect is different from other sects that flaunt their talents, afraid that others will look down on their own disciples. Master said that the opinions of outsiders are nonsense. The chosen ones must hide their strength and preserve their lives."

The three listeners obediently replied, "Understood, Senior Sister."

Xie Weixing and Tan Suiting practiced at Hanxin Lake until the afternoon, adjusting themselves to their best condition.

They happily returned to the disciples' quarters to pack their luggage.

"Do you think I should bring this or not?" Shen Chunri asked. "Oh, I'm so excited! This time I can go down the mountain openly and honestly, without having to steal tokens, without having to be afraid, and without having to worry about being caught by Master!"

Tan Suiting remained quite calm.

Sword cultivators only need to carry a sword.

Xie Weixing was quite happy, just like when he knew he was going on a spring outing the next day in elementary and middle school. He was so excited to be with his classmates that he even moved his luggage with great enthusiasm.

Although I was still in the room, my mind was already drifting to the next morning.

It seems to be called something like "Elementary School Students' Spring Outing Syndrome".

Shen Chunri packed her things and skipped over to visit the dorm, then skipped back over as well.

Yes, there's a phenomenon called "kindergarten field trip syndrome."

He was even more excited than him.

Nie Zhao leaned against the door with his arms crossed: "Go to sleep, you guys. We need to get up early tomorrow."

Like Xie Weixing's elementary school homeroom teacher.

Tan Suiting's dragon doll and quilt have been washed clean, so there's no reason for him to stay here tonight.

He sat by Xie Weixing's bedside, still somewhat reluctant to move.

"Xiao Long, what are you doing?" Nie Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Go back to your room."

Tan Suiting raised his eyes indifferently and stood up: "Oh."

Shen Chunri was still chattering away, wanting to come over to visit the dorm, but when she saw Nie Zhao at the door, she was so frightened that she turned around smoothly and said, "Senior sister, I'm going to sleep."

"Okay," Nie Zhao glanced back, straightened up, "Go to sleep early."

Xie Weixing noticed that he was walking slowly and wasn't in a good mood.

So he offered, "I'll go back with you."

Tan Suiting immediately smiled and said, "Mm."

The two had just reconciled, and he was still reluctant to part with his friend.

Seeing that the two of them hadn't spoken to each other yesterday and were like enemies, but their relationship had become so good today, Nie Zhao smiled, turned around and left.

Actually, Xie Weixing's room was very close to his; it was only a few steps away.

Tan Suiting took his hand and said, "If you're scared when you get up at night, just call me."

Xie Weixing felt something was off, because no teammate at the e-sports base had ever held his hand and said, "If you're scared to go to the bathroom, just call me."

But it seems that girls interact like this more often, such as going to the bathroom together or holding hands.

So it's not surprising that they acted this way.
