After Transmigrating, I and the Female Lead Both Found It 'Really Fragrant' (GL) - Chapter 13

Shen Qiqi only felt a brief pang of guilt for a few seconds before being convinced by her own logic.

Qin Qing was definitely not a good catch. He was so focused on cultivation that he felt more pity than love for the bullied Liu Shuang. Although he would speak up to protect her, it was only superficial. In the end, he sacrificed the female lead for the Qingli Sect. Among the bunch of scum in the Qingli Sect, he could only be considered the tallest dwarf.

Thinking about it this way, her guilt lessened a lot. Shen Qiqi immediately straightened her back. This male lead wasn’t up to par, she might as well do it herself!

She took out another cultivation manual that Liu Shuang had given her from her storage pouch and slowly unfolded it.

Since she had some free time, she might as well catch up on some basic knowledge of the cultivation world.

“Mortals don’t have spiritual roots, and both cultivators and demon cultivators rely on spiritual roots for cultivation… Spiritual roots are divided into five grades: waste, ordinary, middle-grade, high-grade, and heavenly…”

Her slender fingers traced the pages, and she muttered to herself, “The fewer spiritual roots you have, the better… Hmm, I remember both Senior sister and I have single spiritual roots!”

The most basic spiritual root attributes are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. As a gifted person like the female lead, she naturally couldn’t “go with the flow.” Her spiritual root was a mutated dark spiritual root, which was very rare.

Although Shen Qiqi’s original body was not as good as Liu Shuang’s heavenly dark spiritual root, it was still a high-grade fire spiritual root, only one level below Liu Shuang’s.

In the original story, although she was arrogant and domineering, her physical foundation was good. Her current cultivation was at the 2nd level of the Foundation Establishment stage, which was considered to be among the top in the inner sect disciples. It was precisely because of this that many cultivators voluntarily followed her, acting as her “flower protector.”

So-called cultivation was to cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Shen Qiqi immediately took the book, went to the bed, crossed her legs, and tried to follow the cultivation method described in the book.

“Sink your qi into your dantian…” She placed her finger three inches below her navel, took a long, deep breath until her abdomen felt swollen, and then slowly exhaled.

Cooperating with the Qingxin Mantra, she slowly closed her eyes and slowed her breathing. After about a few minutes, she felt a hot current surging in her abdomen, rushing through her limbs and bones, and something was continuously flowing in from the outside world, blowing her hair and clothes.

Shen Qiqi pondered, this must be the so-called “spiritual energy” mentioned in the book. This spiritual energy nourished the dantian, and the dantian was where every cultivator stored their cultivation.

Shen Qiqi closed her eyes and solemnly felt the existence of the spiritual energy in her body.

…It didn’t feel particularly wonderful, it was like soaking in warm water when you were constipated.

The book clearly stated that by following the direction of this spiritual energy, one could perceive one’s own dantian.

Shen Qiqi felt like she was wandering around countless internal organs and complex bl00d vessels for several laps, and finally saw something different – a deep red three-dimensional sphere floating behind layers of blue and purple bl00d vessels. The sphere was not a regular circle, and the red was a kind of colorful deep red.

It was indescribable, and it even felt a bit mentally polluting… Could this be my dantian?!

The dantian sphere was wrapped in a layer of light golden mist and was slowly rolling.

Shen Qiqi leaned closer and saw that the mist was not golden, but had a golden symbol flowing on it, like the ancient civilization symbols left over from millions of years ago, which she could not understand with her current level of culture.

It seemed to have a physical form, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the thin layer of mist. With a loud boom, a thunderous sound exploded in her ears, and the dark red vision was split open by a huge knife, and her vision suddenly opened up.

She seemed to have vaguely arrived somewhere.

The light blue sea met the sky, the sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and the beach was filled with a light golden mist. She looked up and saw a string of red characters rolling like an LED display screen in the sky.

It was still modern Chinese characters, simplified, Microsoft Yahei, size 4, and bold, which made Shen Qiqi, a text worker, feel very familiar.

“Heaven… slaying… master… irreversible…” The red words were a bit far away, and she squinted her eyes, some of the words were unclear, “Soul… immortal…”

The words contained an ancient and sacred aura.

Shen Qiqi propped up her chin and nodded deeply, “Although I can’t quite understand it, but it seems very powerful.”

When she was about to look at it a second time, a huge wave suddenly rose from the sea and engulfed Shen Qiqi.

She was actually bounced out!

Shen Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes and breathed rapidly, “F*ck, that scared me!” The feeling of being unable to breathe from being submerged in water was too real, she threw the book aside and patted her chest lightly.

Probably the sea she had just arrived at was the so-called “spiritual sea.”

The spiritual sea was not a real sea, but more like a reflection of a cultivator’s mentality. What kind of person you were, your spiritual sea would show what kind of scene.

However, the scene just now was really beyond her comprehension, and Shen Qiqi couldn’t figure it out no matter how much she thought about it, so she had to put it aside for the time being.

Besides absorbing spiritual energy, physical training is also crucial for cultivation. Early the next morning, Shen Qiqi forced herself out of bed to go for a morning run.

It was just dawn outside, and the sun hadn’t fully risen yet, making even the most beautiful scenery appear gray.

Shen Qiqi planned to run a lap around Qingfeng Peak, taking the opportunity to explore this unknown area and familiarize herself with the surroundings. However, as soon as she reached the end of the corridor bridge, she ran into a familiar face.

“Junior sister!” Fu Luo was overjoyed to see her. “What are you doing?”

Shen Qiqi caught her breath and nodded perfunctorily, “Good morning, Fifth Senior sister. I’m going for a run.”

Fu Luo looked her up and down, dressed in her athletic attire, and smiled, “It’s been a long time since I’ve chatted and played with Junior sister. You wouldn’t have forgotten Fifth Senior sister after getting close to Liu Shuang, would you?”

Her words were full of sarcasm.

Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes secretly and laughed it off, “Of course not, Senior sister.”

Fu Luo took her hand and said softly, “That’s good then. I believe in Junior sister’s pure heart and that she would never associate with someone as filthy as Liu Shuang, right?”

Shen Qiqi’s expression turned cold, “Senior sister Fu Luo, what you’re saying is wrong.”

Fu Luo was startled, “This…”

Shen Qiqi said, “Bullying the weak is the most despicable and disgusting behavior.”

“But weren’t you always looking down on her before?” Fu Luo frowned slightly, disagreeing. “You said Liu Shuang was good for nothing and pretentious, and even encouraged everyone to teach her a lesson…”

Shen Qiqi sighed, that wasn’t me, it was the original owner.

“So, I’ve deeply realized my mistakes now.” She gave a mysterious smile, “Fifth Senior sister, please be kinder to Senior sister Liu. It’s never too late to mend one’s ways.” While there’s still time before she’s completely alienated, there’s still a chance to make amends.

A mixture of shock and confusion appeared on Fu Luo’s face. She hadn’t expected that Shen Qiqi was actually serious about “turning over a new leaf”!

She snorted disdainfully, “Junior sister, there are more than just a few of us in the cultivation world who can’t stand her. You telling me to stop won’t stop others from doing the same.”

Besides, what harm could a useless person do?

Shen Qiqi looked at her with a deadpan expression.

That’s right, in the original story, besides the sinful Qingli Sect, there were hundreds and thousands of cultivators in the cultivation world who were all caught up in this nightmarish carnival.

They loved to elevate people to great heights, only to enjoy watching those geniuses fall, their wings forcibly clipped, plummeting from the sky into the dust, and lying there in the mud, unable to recover. Each of them would eagerly rush forward to step on them and sneer, reveling in their own superiority.

Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a burst of intense pain in her heart.

Fu Luo smiled mockingly, “Junior sister, if you stand with her, don’t regret it later.”

Shen Qiqi took a step forward, standing in the light, drawing a line between them, “I won’t regret it, and I hope you won’t either.” I’ve already reserved a spot on the city wall for you, just wait to be dried up.

Without hesitation, she turned around and strode towards the bright distance.

Fu Luo watched her back, her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, a twisted expression on her face.

••••

Having run all the way to Xueya, a distance of about a few thousand meters, Shen Qiqi turned around and headed back.

This body was in such great shape. After running 3,000 meters in one go, she was only slightly out of breath, a far cry from the time when she used to struggle just to finish 800 meters.

The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, casting a soft glow that painted the mountains and rivers in hues of gold and red.

Shen Qiqi ran back, head down, but started to slow down as fatigue set in. She supported her waist.

As she passed the herb garden, she saw Liu Shuang bending over to gather herbs, a basket in her hands. Her porcelain-white profile was gentle and charming.

A nameless joy welled up in Shen Qiqi’s heart. She couldn’t help but stop and call out loudly, “Senior sister!”

Liu Shuang looked up, her eyes meeting the bright sunlight. She saw Shen Qiqi smiling at her from across the fence, her breath fogging up in the cool morning air. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from the run, and her dimples were charming. Her eyes sparkled, as if melting into the warm glow of the day.

Dressed in a snow-white martial arts uniform, she stood tall and straight, her red ribbon tied up in a high ponytail, flowing smoothly behind her. She was like the light pink peach blossoms that had just emerged from the branches in early spring, or the first ray of sunlight that broke through the gloom after the rain had cleared, making people want to reach out and try to grasp that hard-won warmth.

No one could resist the light.

Liu Shuang seemed startled, her eyes darting away. Her heart pounded heavily in her ears, and she couldn’t describe the feeling at that moment.

A/N: Ahhhhh thank you all so much!!!!!!!!!!! (Running around in circles frantically)

T/N: Ahhhhhh Your gay!.
