Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yun was too lazy to argue with Miao Xiaomiao. He gave her a small smile and shrugged it off. He then walked towards the villa with Bai Xianer in his arms.

“Hmph! Casanova! Will it kill you not to brag?” Miao Xiaomiao uttered audibly.

“Hehe, I’m not bragging, you will know...” Ling Yun replied without turning back.

Ling Yun wasn’t in a hurry. Miao Xiaomiao would need at least another year if she wanted to break through to the Xiantian Realm. Ling Yun would be at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation then. It would still be in time.

Miao Xiaomiao stomped her foot angrily, glaring at Ling Yun as he entered the villa. She tried to resume her practice but found that she could no longer concentrate.

Ling Yun headed to the second floor. He listened attentively as he passed by Xue Meining’s room and was satisfied that she was breathing deeply. She was fast asleep. He smiled and returned to his bedroom.

Ling Yun had special feelings for Ning Er, which was why he would use neither his Yin-Yang Eye nor his divine sense to pry on her.

He turned on the lights and found a set of pen and paper. He began writing at his study desk.

Bai Xianer stood curiously by Ling Yun and looked on. She didn’t understand a word. “Big Brother Yun, what are you writing?”

“The application method of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot and a complementary set of kungfu called the Spirit Potency Art,” Ling Yun said with a smile.

“Why are you writing it down?”

“I want to impart the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to Ning Er,” Ling Yun replied without any change to his speed of writing. His penmanship was neat and elegant.

“Is the Spirit Potency Art powerful?”

“It’s a method of absorbing and storing spiritual energy. It isn’t powerful as a standalone skill. Its potency will only show when coupled with the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot.”

“Oh, I see. Big Brother Yun is so good to Younger Sister Ning Er...” Bai Xianer said with obvious envy.

Ling Yun put down his pen suddenly and gave Bai Xianer a warm smile. “Am I not good to Xian Er?”

Bai Xianer’s beautiful face blushed as she withstood Ling Yun’s gaze. “Why aren’t you teaching Xian Er kungfu then?” Xian Er asked with a sigh.

“Xian Er, always remember to avoid greed in cultivation. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Your Demonic Book of the Heavenly Central Nine Stars and the Celestial Fox Attribute are extremely powerful. It won’t be easy for you to master all of that. You will only complicate matters if you learn too many different things. It will all be for naught if you go berserk. This is the biggest taboo for us cultivators. Do you understand?” Ling Yun told her kindly.

“You have to teach me something...” Bai Xianer acted spoiled and bit her lips.

“Alright, I’ll teach you something since you really want. I can only teach you the movements, though.” Ling Yun caved.

“Thank you, Big Brother Yun...” Bai Xianer let the matter go.

Ling Yun got back to his writing.

More than an hour later, Xue Meining woke up. The first thing she did was run to Ling Yun’s bedroom.

His door wasn’t shut.

“Big Brother Yun, what time did you come back? I waited for you until twelve...”

Xue Meining hugged Ling Yun’s arm naturally.

“You’re awake, Ning Er? I went to Dragon Mountain to cultivate and got home at five in the morning.”

Ling Yun put down his pen and gave his full attention to Xue Meining.

“Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate... You are cultivating every single day and have no time to accompany me...” Xue Meining wailed in protest.

“Eh? What are you writing?” Xue Meining blinked and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

“The Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot?”

“Yes, it’s the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. I’m not even halfway through.” Ling Yun laughed.

“Wow, so many pages. Why are you writing this?” Xue Meining asked in delight, seemingly having guessed Ling Yun’s purpose.

“Of course it’s to impart it to a brilliant, kind, and lovely girl...” Ling Yun smiled without answering the question directly.

“Hmm... brilliant, kind, and lovely? Isn’t that me?” Xue Meining wasn’t humble in the least.

“You guessed it right!” Ling Yun laughed and pulled her close to him.

“Take this first. This is the Spirit Potency Art. You have to memorize it in the fastest time possible. The potency of the Spirit Potency Art can only be released if you master this.”

“Wow, awesome! Big Brother Yun is teaching me the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot, thank you Big Brother Yun!”

Xue Meining cheered and kissed his left cheek twice.

Ling Yun touched the dimple on the left side of his face. The sensation of the kiss lingered. It was truly amazing.

“Did you have a good rest?” His lips curled up.

Xue Meining nodded. “Yes, I did. But... it would have been much better if you were at home!”

“I shall sleep here tonight then, alright?”

“That’s more like it!”

Ling Yun glanced at the time. “Alright, no more skipping school today. Wash up quickly, and I’ll send you to school.”

“Big Brother Yun, I’m hungry...” Xue Meining hugged her growling stomach. She looked pitiful.

“I’ll make some noodles for you then.” Ling Yun sighed.

Ling Yun couldn’t escape his chef’s fate no matter where he went.

Xue Meining kissed Ling Yun again before leaving with the Spirit Potency Art.

“Don’t let anyone else see this Spirit Potency Art!” Ling Yun cautioned.

“I’m not stupid!” Xue Meining’s voice rang through the halls.

What I meant was not to show your Big Sister, Miao Xiaomiao, Ling Yun thought.

Of course, Ling Yun didn’t really care even if she did.

“Hmph, Ling Yun, don’t be an a**hole. I can’t be bothered to learn it!” Miao Xiaomiao’s angry thought went directly to Ling Yun’s mind.

Telepathy!

Ling Yun’s mouth curled, and he pretended not to hear her. He went downstairs to prepare breakfast for the three beauties.

Ling Yun was now a qualified modern chef after gruesome grilling by Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu. Fragrant egg with shredded meat was done in less than ten minutes.

Ling Yun regarded everyone like his own family since they were staying under a roof. He put a generous amount of thousand-year-old Ginseng and a few drops of dragon saliva into the noodles.

Even Miao Xiaomiao gulped at the fragrance the noodles produced.

I didn’t think that this Casanova could make such fragrant food! Miao Xiaomiao’s heart edged a little closer to Ling Yun.

“I made this beauty breakfast for everyone, please try it!” Ling Yun said proudly.

“Beauty breakfast, bragging again!” Miao Xiaomiao said.

Bai Xianer smiled and got out of her seat. She filled a whole bowl for Ling Yun.

Xue Meining had already started eating.

“Delicious! I’ve never been fuller. I announce that my diet failed today...”

Xue Meining gave a distressed sigh after dinner.

“Ning Er, eat to your heart’s content. Don’t worry, I guarantee that you won’t put on any weight!” Ling Yun laughed.

Ling Yun could easily use the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to slim her down. The effect would definitely be better than any diet pill, plus there would be no side effects.

Of course, that was unnecessary. She was about to start cultivating.

“Really? I’ll be able to eat anything I want in the future then!” Xue Meining cheered. There were so many perks to living with Ling Yun.

“Are you going to school?” Ling Yun directed the question to Miao Xiaomiao.

In all honesty, Miao Xiaomiao’s mission in Qingshui City was completed now that she had found Ling Yun. Ling Yun had also agreed to act as a go-between for Miao Fenghuang and Miracle Doctor Xue. There was no need for her to continue to go to school.

However, Miao Xiaomiao had grown really close to Xue Meining. She wanted to be with her until summer vacation.

“Of course. Do you think everyone’s like you? Dreaming of getting into Yanjing University without going to school!”

Miao Xiaomiao rolled her eyes.

“Make your own food in the future!” Ling Yun said angrily.

“Sure, why not! I won’t die because you don’t make food for me!” Miao Xiaomiao didn’t back down.

“Go to school yourself today!” Ling Yun added, even more pissed off now.

“I’ll get going then!” Miao Xiaomiao jumped up.

Bai Xianer’s brows knitted with anger, but Ling Yun warned her not to do anything rash with telepathy, so she pouted and stayed put.

Bai Xianer would face off against anyone, even her relatives if they were hostile to Ling Yun.

“Big Sister...”

Her lover was on one side, and her big sister was on the other. Eventually, Xue Meining felt that her big sister was the one who started the fight and tried to nudge her.

She was confused. Big Sister was very rational and easy to talk to. Why did she get emotional whenever things concerned Ling Yun?

Miao Xiaomiao glared at Ling Yun before leaving. She drove off in Xue Meining’s Ferrari.

Ling Yun wanted to make her admit defeat by not sending her to school. He failed.

Ling Yun didn’t think that Miao Xiaomiao could actually drive. “She... she can drive?” he muttered under his breath.

“Of course! Her driving skills are superb!” Xue Meining giggled.

“What the f*ck! She didn’t look the type! Alright! Let’s go to school now!”
