Chapter 132

Ye Hei: "Thanks, thanks! This red packet was huge—I got ten Zi Yang elixirs!"

Amano Hinana: "I got five, hehe, I can sell them for a lot of money."

Ying Zheng No. 2: "What a waste—money can be earned anytime, but longevity and eternal life aren't so easy to come by."

Amano Hinana: "Thanks for the reminders, I was just joking. Brother Taixuan, can I teach my younger brother to cultivate?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Family transmission is fine."

Amano Hinana: "Mm-hmm."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "I grabbed seven. By the way, should I give this elixir to my sister or take it myself?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Take it yourself. Once you enter the Cosmos, resources will be plentiful—then you can get elixirs for your sister and mother. Besides, cultivation can reverse aging; they don't need to rush."

Su Xiao: "Yukino, why haven't you mentioned your father?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Didn't I say? My father passed away when I was very young."

Su Xiao: "Oh, sorry."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "It's fine—it was a long time ago."

Xiao Wu: "Brother Taixuan, what are you enlightening? How about enlightening a bunny?"

Zhang Taixuan: "I only enlightened two magpies for Sanye. As for myself, once I return, I'll buy some bee and butterfly spirit beasts and enlighten them to manage the Taixuan Grotto. As for the bunny, I'll enlighten a pair to keep company with Zhiruo later."

Xiao Wu: "Oh oh. How's it going over there, Brother Taixuan? Is Sanye okay?"

Zhang Taixuan: "No problems for now."

Xiao Wu: "Will you have time to come visit soon?"

Yotsuya Miko: "Xiao Wu is so enthusiastic. Brother Taixuan, I need some too—Shouka has been causing trouble again!"

Zhang Taixuan: "I'll come when I have time. Don't worry—I won't forget you."

Yotsuya Miko: "Mm."

Xiao Wu: "Alright, then I'll go enlighten my friends first."

Kasumigaoka Uta: "The harem's harmonious—Brother Taixuan, you're really impressive."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Are you jealous, Kasumigaoka?"

Amano Hinana: "Sister Uta, are you planning to join too?"

Su Xiao: "Wow, the show's starting."

Ye Hei: "Let's watch the drama."

Kasumigaoka Uta: "【Silent】 Class is starting—you all just love to stir up trouble."

Komonozaka Town.

On the small hill.

The two who left the chat group gazed at the scenery, searching for species to enlighten.

"How about this flower snake?" Zhang Taixuan picked up a small snake and asked.

Miyamizu Sanye startled, stepping back: "Brother Taixuan, are you doing this on purpose or by accident?"

"Intentionally by accident," Zhang Taixuan chuckled.

Miyamizu Sanye fell silent, yet felt their bond had grown closer.

She had never understood him before, thinking him merely a fanatic devoted to cultivation.

Now he made her wear a shrine maiden's dress to dance, teased her—suddenly he didn't seem so distant.

"Then enlighten only what you like. As for species you dislike, when the world wants them, it will enlighten them itself."

Miyamizu Sanye nodded and began working.

Their strength was considerable; they quickly gathered thirty-six species.

Eighteen were animals, mostly birds.

Eighteen were plants, such as emerald bamboo and plum trees.

Enchanting three of each didn't take long.

After enlightenment, Miyamizu Sanye felt overwhelmed: "Where do I put them?"

Suddenly having so many humanoid beings was a real hassle.

Even if they could revert to their original forms, they'd still risk exposing themselves and drawing global attention.

"I already thought of a solution," Zhang Taixuan smiled, reaching out—his hand now held a small teapot.

"This is the Teapot Grotto!" Miyamizu Sanye gasped. "This is far too precious."

"Do we really need to haggle over this, given our relationship?" Zhang Taixuan teased.

Miyamizu Sanye blushed, snatching the teapot: "Since Brother Taixuan gave it to me, I'll accept it. But how do I refine it?"

"I'll teach you," Zhang Taixuan leaned closer, sensing a faint, sweet fragrance.

Miyamizu Sanye didn't pull away—instead, she leaned in closer, lowering her head further.
