Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

That was why Xu Lei had never even considered revealing his Phoenix True Flame to her back then.

At first, Xu Lei had really only looked after her as a junior.

Xu Lei himself had no idea how he had made Zhao Xin fall so deeply in love with him.

Or be so willing to sacrifice for him.

Later, Xu Lei came to feel that he had accepted too much from Zhao Xin.

He felt bad not reciprocating.

And that was how he and Zhao Xin ended up together.

So now, when Xu Lei heard what Jingchun said,

the thought of having to be Jingchun’s human shield made this worry bubble up inside him.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhao Xin said, "You’re worrying for nothing.

My master wouldn’t do that.

If she really does, then Xin’er and Master will let you have one of us in each arm!

Then you can give your ’Charitable Giving’ to whichever one you want!

Today it can be me, tomorrow her!

The day after tomorrow her, and the day after that, me!

If you want, we could even line up side-by-side and accept your ’Charitable Giving’ together!

Most Cultivators only have one Dao Companion.

But if Master falls for you too, and if she’s okay with it, then Xin’er wouldn’t be against it.

Besides, Master isn’t a stranger.

In my heart, she’s like a mother to me.

Just think, if she became a Dao Companion with some other man, she might not be as close to me as she is now.

But that’s just a thought.

My master already has someone she likes!

She won’t just fall for someone else and start liking you.

It’s impossible!"

Hearing this, Xu Lei was left speechless.

What could he say when Zhao Xin had put it like that?

Besides, Xu Lei thought, it wasn’t certain that Jingchun would fall for him anyway.

’After all, Jingchun’s Cultivation is probably higher than mine, right?’

’They say women are naturally attracted to strength, and I’m quite a bit weaker than her right now.’

’I probably can’t trigger that instinct in her!’

A few minutes later.

As expected, Jingchun came running to find Xu Lei.

As she jogged over, the hem of her robes fluttered, her long hair danced, and her chest rose and fell like surging waves.

It was the last of these that couldn’t help but capture Xu Lei’s gaze.

Of course, he immediately realized how impolite he was being.

He quickly shifted his gaze upward to Jingchun’s face.

And as he looked, he had to admit she was indeed very beautiful.

Of course, at this moment, Xu Lei was only appreciating her beauty.

There were many beautiful women in the world, and Xu Lei had never thought that they all had to be his.

It was just like that time when Zhi Jian had wanted to give his second beautiful daughter to Xu Lei to sleep with.

If Xu Lei were the type to simply indulge in carnal pleasures, he would have had no problem sleeping with her then.

After all, the mundane rules of the secular world could no longer bind him, now that he was a Cultivator.

But Xu Lei had still refused.

He accepted what he should and rejected what he shouldn’t.

Some beautiful women were just meant to be admired from afar.

There was no need to get them all into his bed.

"Hui Chi, I... I..."

But now, Jingchun bit her lip. Her cherry-like lips parted, but no words came out, and a shy blush crept onto her lovely face.

Jingchun was usually a bit cool and aloof.

She had probably spoken to her grand-aunt that way on impulse.

Which was why she now had to come and ask Xu Lei for a favor.

For someone who rarely asked others for help, taking the initiative to do so was rather difficult.

"Senior Sister-in-law, are you asking me to be your human shield?"

Seeing this, Xu Lei took the initiative and said, "Actually, Jin Xin and I already heard.

That conversation you had with your grand-aunt."

"Then, you?"

Jingchun seemed to let out a breath of relief. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Lei as she asked, "Is that okay? Can you help me?"

"Master, don’t worry. Uncle Hui Chi is willing to help."

Zhao Xin chimed in. "He’s a very good person."

"Senior Sister-in-law, what do you need me to do?"

Xu Lei said, "I’ll do whatever you ask.

Of course, even though your disciple said what she did earlier...

it seems to have caused a bit of a misunderstanding between us.

But rest assured, I will absolutely not have any improper thoughts about you.

We are just fellow Daoists, nothing more.

And while I don’t know your Dao Companion, that senior brother who’s also of the ’Hui’ generation...

...I respect him very much.

As they say, you don’t mess with a senior brother’s wife."

"Huh?"

Jingchun froze, but his words actually made her a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and said, "Mm, then I’ll have to trouble you.

Just pretend to be my Dao Companion in front of my grand-aunt.

Also, drive away that Hui Si who came with her!

Make him give up completely!

That way he won’t be held up because of me!

Let him go find some other Female Cultivator to be his Dao Companion!

By the way, he’s also a Buddhist Disciple and cultivates the Bodhisattva Dao.

His Cultivation is probably lower than yours, right?"

"Okay. Rest assured, I’ll do my best."

Xu Lei nodded. "But I can’t guarantee I’ll succeed."

Of course, though he said that, Xu Lei was actually quite confident.

After all, Xu Lei’s current Cultivation had already reached the Ninth Tier of Bodhisattva Fruit Realm!

He was actually much stronger than Jingchun thought.

Another few minutes later.

Soon, Xu Lei met Jingchun’s pursuer, Hui Si.

He also came face to face with Jingchun’s mother, the grand-aunt, Chun Ying!

"So you’re Hui Chi?"

Chun Ying, with her white hair, stooped body, wrinkled face, and an aura of decay, stepped forward. "Have you really become Dao Companions with Jingchun?"

"This junior pays his respects to you, Senior."

Xu Lei quickly replied with reverence, "This junior does indeed admire Jingchun. She’s a wonderful person! To have her as my Dao Companion is the fortune of three lifetimes!"

Hearing this, Jingchun couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

Her pretty face flushed slightly as she looked at the side of Xu Lei’s face.

She didn’t know if Xu Lei’s words were true or false.

Even though she had rejected Xu Lei before, and he had been very respectful to her these past few days, constantly calling her "Senior Sister-in-law."
