193 Bold Declaration I (2/2)
”You… hmph!” Jasmine turned her face away annoyance.
Lin Qingcheng giggled uncontrollably while the others shared a laugh.
Even Long Yifei broke out into a rare smile as she let herself relax. The matter of her failed dual cultivation still irked her but she could only be patient.
”By the way, Sister Yifei, now that you've joined the greatest sect in the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent, what do you wish to do in future? Do you wish to be a powerful immortal? Or maybe create your own sect?” Lin Qingcheng asked curiously.
”That… is quite challenging question to answer.” Long Yifei said uncertainly.
”Oh, what about you Sister Qianyu? Sister Yuechan?”
”…”
They all found it hard to answer. Each one had secret desires that they didn't wish to reveal to others. Or, they were perhaps too embarrassed to say it out loud.
After a period of awkward silence, it was Zhou Ziyun who spoke up. ”Chengcheng, you're so naughty, ruining our harmonious atmosphere. Hurry, apologize!”
”What? What did I do?” Lin Qingcheng cried out.
”Still not admitting it? Fine, why don't you tell us what your future goal is.” Zhou Ziyun said.
”That…”
”Are you scared?” Zhou Ziyun taunted.
Lin Qingcheng puffed her cheeks, ”I'm not scared. Fine… my goal… I want to become an immortal so I can stay by master's side forever!”
”What!”
”Wow!”
Exclamations of shock and amazement met Lin Qingcheng's bold declaration. Among the women, some had stronger reactions than others.
In particular, Wu Qianyu was filled with a strange happiness. She had suspicions that Lin Qingcheng had similar feelings for Chen Wentian but it had never been confirmed until today. Wu Qianyu's personality was mild and generous and she didn't feel any jealousy towards Lin Qingcheng. She only felt happy, happy that she had someone to share her feelings with.
Li Yuechan had similar thoughts to Wu Qianyu but not to her degree while the other ice sisters were quite nonchalant. Zhou Ziyun knew about Lin Qingcheng's feelings already while Jasmine didn't care one bit.
Long Yifei was the one that had perhaps the most profound reaction. She truly did not expect Lin Qingcheng to have such feelings. Chen Wentian already had relations with the five ice sisters and herself. Did he also sleep with Lin Qingcheng? What about Zhou Ziyun or Wu Qianyu?
More importantly, what happened to dual cultivation?
She suddenly suspected that the other two were also entirely possible. The three of them had been with Chen Wentian the longest and their feelings were quite deep. It was obvious that he spent a noticeably larger portion of his time with them compared to the others.
She suddenly had a surge of doubt about Chen Wentian and her decision to join his sect. Was this a sect or a personal harem? She the one that offered to dual cultivate with him, she was the one that offered her body. But perhaps, that wasn't enough. Did he want her heart as well?
