Chapter 16 – The Empress, Spiritual Spring, and a Bikini!

← Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed

“Hahaha!”

“Ancestor Lin Feng is quite the charmer! That’s right, young people should learn to enjoy life!”

“Ah, to not live freely as a youth would be such a waste! The ancestor is a role model for our generation!”

“Cultivation? We have plenty of time! It’s better to do more meaningful things while we’re young!”

“I get it now! I’ve been enlightened!”

“I want to ask, where are the entertainment spots nearby our Profound Azure Sect?”

The disciples of Profound Azure Sect whispered excitedly as they read the diary.

Their faces were beaming with smiles.

The ambition and determination they had built up moments ago, vowing to cultivate tirelessly for the sect’s glory, vanished instantly.

Yan Changkong stood on the steps, watching this scene with wide eyes, speechless for a long time.

This is bad!

Ancestor, you’ve really messed up!

Yan Changkong had planned to take advantage of today to give these new disciples a serious lesson, but the content of today’s diary was completely unrelated to cultivation.

The Great Elder, Chen Xiu, lowered his head and also forced a smile, not knowing what to say.

This entire event had been a collaborative effort between him and Yan Changkong, but now they were stuck in an awkward situation with no way to gracefully recover.

“Ahem—”

Yan Changkong’s eyes darted, and he quickly said, “Everyone, let’s not misunderstand the ancestor’s intentions. He was young and impulsive at the time, and it’s quite normal to act irrationally when one is troubled by love!”

“Of course, it was just a brief phase. Otherwise, how could he have become an Emperor? Let this serve as a cautionary tale for all of you!”

The Great Elder Chen Xiu’s eyes lit up, secretly admiring Yan Changkong’s ability to turn the situation around. He was truly fit to be the sect master; this old man lost without complaint.

The disciples gradually quieted down, their excited expressions fading as they began to ponder.

They realized that the ancestor Lin Feng had indeed been momentarily troubled by love, reluctant to part with his beloved, suffering from the pain of longing while separated.

That was why he had acted so irrationally, but it wouldn’t have troubled him for long. Otherwise, how could he have become a peerless Emperor?

“We should learn from the ancestor’s virtues, but let’s not repeat the mistakes he made,” Yan Changkong continued as he saw the new disciples nodding thoughtfully.

“Everyone should take this as a warning!”

“When out training, don’t casually heal injured female cultivators; the prettier they are, the more dangerous they can be. Even if you don’t end up being killed, you might fall in love and it could affect your cultivation in long term.”

With the sect master saying this, the Great Elder Chen Xiu felt he had to chime in as well.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiu said, “That’s right! Even Lin Feng, the ancestor, almost fell into the trap!”

“Think about it, if you encountered a beauty like the ancestor’s beloved, would you be able to keep your wits about you?”

After this combination of warnings, the disciples looked bewildered.

One by one, they nodded in dazed agreement.

They all felt it made sense!

Taking the opportunity, Chen Xiu said, “Listen to this old man’s advice: before you break through to the Golden Core stage, don’t seek a Dao companion.”

“Focus your heart entirely on cultivation—that is the true path!”

Yan Changkong glanced at him in surprise, silently marveling, The Great Elder finally gets it!

He immediately added, “That’s right! I think we should include this in the sect’s disciples’ cultivation guidelines.”

“Don’t seek a Dao companion too early; focus your thoughts on cultivation.”

Jade Pool Holy Land.

Deep within a hidden area in the holy land.

The scenery here was breathtakingly unique. Towering mountains and flowing rivers surrounded a verdant jade-green pool. In the center of the pool, a crystalline lotus flower bloomed.

There were three such lotuses, each spanning an acre. Meditating atop them not only greatly accelerated the absorption of spiritual energy but also enhanced one’s comprehension of the Dao.

Yuan Ruoyu was sitting on one of the crystalline lotuses, her face flushed with a hint of crimson.

“Bastard! What do you mean I fell into your arms…”

“Even if I did, you can’t write that in your diary!”

Yuan Ruoyu thought indignantly, grateful that Lin Feng hadn’t mentioned which holy land it was. Otherwise, where would she, as a Holy Lord, find the dignity to show her face?

Suddenly, Yuan Ruoyu’s face turned even redder as she chuckled softly, “And you were complaining about your sore waist and legs, leaning against the wall to walk out of the cave. You still have the nerve to say that…”

Her voice grew softer until it became indistinct.

She seemed to recall the fiery farewell at that time.

However, Yuan Ruoyu had finally confirmed one thing: those black stockings really were, as she had speculated, related to legs rather than cultivation.

———

Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

Ye Qingge was in her chamber watching the diary by herself today.

At this moment, the little leather doll in her hand had already been crumpled and wrinkled.

“Vixen!”

“How dare you seduce my Xiao Feng Feng! Hmph, just wait until I find out who you are!”

“When I do, I’ll make sure you know who the true first wife is!”

Ye Qingge’s angry pout was laced with jealousy. She gave the doll another firm squeeze and muttered through gritted teeth, “Stop fooling around with other women, got it? If you don’t, I swear I’ll castrate you!”

Suddenly, she thought of something.

Ye Qingge smiled slyly, “Heh, this ‘black stockings’ thing clearly isn’t anything good!”

“I just don’t know, compared to the bikini you gave me, which one do you prefer?”

As she spoke, Ye Qingge pulled out a set of clothes from her storage ring.

It was as thin as a cicada’s wing!

Moreover, the style was completely different from the attire in this world—extremely simple and bold.

There wasn’t much fabric in total; some places even used only a few strands of transparent ice silk, tied together.

Ye Qingge’s face turned red as she mumbled, “I’ve kept that bikini you gave me all this time!”

She couldn’t help but recall how they had met.

Not long after they got acquainted, Lin Feng said he wanted to give her a gift—a piece of clothing.

This clothing was one of a kind in this world!

It was specially created for her and was called a bikini.

Lin Feng’s only request was whether she could wear it for him to admire.

Ye Qingge was so taken by his flowery words that she was somewhat moved and agreed right away.

After all, Lin Feng had put so much effort into creating it for her. It was unreasonable not to even take a look.

So, Lin Feng took out the bikini…

After seeing it, Ye Qingge’s face turned red, her demeanor frosty as she unsheathed her sword and shouted, “You rogue! How dare you tease me!”

“I’m going to kill you!”

The two erupted into a fierce battle, clashing for hundreds of rounds without a clear victor.

He ran!

She chased!

Unexpectedly, during this process, they experienced all sorts of bizarre and strange events.

In the end, however, Lin Feng got exactly what he wished for…

Decades later, one day, Lin Feng mentioned he had discovered a natural spiritual spring in his cave, containing various essences of heaven and earth. Bathing there could not only enhance cultivation but also rejuvenate the skin.

Ye Qingge’s heart stirred; she couldn’t resist the temptation…

Under Lin Feng’s sweet words, she finally put on that bikini for him to admire.

Since then, Lin Feng often invited her to soak in the spiritual spring together.

Handsome man and beautiful woman, one thing led to another…

“Scoundrel, all you know is to use sweet words to fool me!”

Ye Qingge snapped back to reality as the light curtain outside her chamber brightened again.

The diary continued to be revealed.

She gritted her teeth and thought, Let’s see how many things you’re still hiding from me!
