Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Watching Hui Si leave, Jingchun couldn’t help but glance over at Xu Lei, her eyes filled with silent gratitude.

"So you two are really Dao Companions?"

But just then, Chun Ying said, "Well then, give each other a kiss. Let me see."

The expressions on both Jingchun’s and Zhao Xin’s faces changed instantly.

"Senior!"

But Xu Lei remained calm. He spoke respectfully to Chun Ying. "To be perfectly honest with you, Senior, Jingchun and I are not yet Dao Companions.

I am pursuing her, but she is still hesitant.

The truth is, she asked me to come here today to be her shield.

Because she said she doesn’t like Hui Si.

But she has told me she’s willing to give me a chance, and I am doing my best."

After all, Chun Ying was no fool.

Trying to completely deceive her was next to impossible.

It was obvious that Jingchun could not bring herself to kiss Xu Lei.

And Xu Lei had no intention of taking advantage of Jingchun, especially since his real Dao Companion was Zhao Xin.

So, he decided it was better to just come clean.

After speaking, Xu Lei looked at Jingchun, his gaze calm and tinged with affection.

Jingchun was taken aback.

Of course, she quickly understood what Xu Lei was doing.

"That’s right."

So she stepped forward as well and said to Chun Ying, "Mother, Hui Chi and I are indeed getting to know each other. Please, just give us some more time."

"Sigh. My girl, it’s not that I want to force you."

Chun Ying continued, "If you don’t like Hui Si, then don’t become Dao Companions with him.

But the chances of saving that Dao Companion of yours are just too slim!

He’s become a living corpse; how could he possibly be saved so easily?

We Cultivators of this era might seem powerful in the eyes of mortals.

But we know we’re nothing like the Ancient Immortals and Buddhas of the age of myths, who could bring the dead back to life and flesh out bare bones!

How long are you going to wait?

Your Cultivation may be progressing well, but not just anyone can survive the Thunder Tribulation!

Some people make good progress in their early years of cultivation.

But when it’s time for Crossing the Tribulation, they still perish, their Dao scattered to the winds.

In any case, you must find another Dao Companion before you grow old.

Even if you don’t find another Dao Companion, you must, no matter what, give me a grandchild!

Carry on your father’s bloodline!

If you do that, I won’t say anything more!

Since you have a better impression of Hui Chi, then you should focus on developing your relationship with him.

Even if you can’t forget your former lover, just having a child with Hui Chi would be fine.

I, your mother, don’t have many years left!

Before I die, I just want to see you have a child!

Only then can I feel like I’ve done right by your father!

You have to be considerate of your mother, my girl!

Hui Chi, what do you think?

Can you accept that?"

Jingchun looked utterly helpless. Her soft lips parted slightly, but she quickly closed them again without saying a word.

Evidently, this wasn’t the first time Chun Ying had said such things to Jingchun.

Xu Lei glanced at Zhao Xin, then at Jingchun.

In truth, when it came to just having a child without any emotional attachment, Xu Lei was quite experienced.

The idea of having a child with a Female Cultivator like Jingchun, who possessed both excellent Cultivation and talent—and without any feelings involved—was something Xu Lei would naturally have no objection to.

After all, they were all Cultivators; there wasn’t a need for so many unnecessary formalities.

But now, looking at Jingchun’s expression, Xu Lei knew she couldn’t accept it.

After all, Zhao Xin had mentioned before that Jingchun was very likely still a virgin.

A grown, untouched woman like her would naturally not be able to simply have a child with Xu Lei just like that.

It was possible that even Chun Ying didn’t know her daughter was still a virgin.

Although Chun Ying also possessed Magical Power, the Magical Power of this world was merely something akin to Telekinesis.

While such energy might seem mystical to mortals, if one wanted to investigate something, they would need to wrap their Magical Power around it, touching and sensing it meticulously.

She couldn’t very well force her Magical Power into Jingchun’s body right in front of her to check if she’d ever been with a man.

Besides, Jingchun had Magical Power of her own and would never let her succeed.

"My apologies, Senior."

Therefore, Xu Lei didn’t voice his true thoughts. Instead, he put on a principled expression and said, "Have a child without any feelings involved?

I don’t think I could do something like that!

The kind of Dao Companion I’m looking for is someone I can walk with for a lifetime!

Someone to support, understand, and care for.

Someone who will never abandon me, as I would never abandon them.

A true Dao Companion, one based on genuine feelings!

The term is Dao Companion, after all—a partner on the path to the Dao of Longevity. It’s not something to be taken lightly.

Therefore, I believe that feelings must come first.

As for children, they should be a natural result of those feelings.

I can understand that you don’t have many years left and wish to hold a grandchild.

But I feel that you should still give Jingchun some space.

You can’t force her to have a child with a man she doesn’t like.

If you do, she will be unhappy and miserable in the future.

That’s not something you would want to see, is it?

Jingchun is a person with a strong mind of her own.

I believe she has her own plans.

In a few more years, if she still can’t save that man, she will likely decide on her own that she wants to have a child.

She isn’t that old right now.

She only looks like a mortal woman of about thirty.

She’s still very young and beautiful!

There’s still time.

And if she does manage to save him, they will be reunited, and they will naturally have children."

Hearing Xu Lei say all this, Jingchun couldn’t help but look at him with gratitude.

After all, Xu Lei had taken the initiative to refuse Chun Ying, saving her from having to do it herself.

When it came to her own mother, she truly felt rather helpless.
