Chapter 141 Have you gained weight?
Feixian Plain is a vast and boundless wilderness. Legend has it that this place was originally desolate and sparsely populated with little spiritual energy. However, thousands of years ago, due to the emergence of the Feixian Secret Realm, a small town was formed at the foot of the nearby mountains, attracting cultivators to gather.
It was about a half-day's journey from Feixian City. After settling in the town, they wandered around before realizing there were no more inns available for them to stay in.
Two monks, one tall and one short, stopped under an old locust tree at the end of the street.
"Senior sister, are you tired?"
"A little. Come on, let's go sit down in the front."
It was the height of summer in the southern part of the Southern Continent, with the sun blazing down. The short, elegant female cultivator waved her jade-bone fan, a gentle breeze caressing her face. She then headed towards the bridge not far ahead, her destination the simple, unadorned teahouse there.
The tall, handsome swordsman followed behind, his dark green robes swirling in the light against the azure sky.
"Boss, two bowls of tea." Leng Huan casually picked up a stool and sat down. Fu Xun sat down opposite her.
"Please wait a moment, guests!" The teahouse owner was lounging on a bamboo chair when he saw guests arrive. He put down his books, responded, and quickly got up to bring over two bowls of tea and a pot of tea. "Please enjoy your tea."
Leng Huan nodded politely. Seeing that the owner was a Golden Core cultivator, leisurely reclining on a bamboo chair while tending his small teahouse, he didn't seem down on his luck at all, but rather very relaxed and carefree.
Besides Leng Huan and his companion, there were a few other guests resting nearby. They seemed to be used to the situation, and they took the teapot and poured themselves some tea.
One person said, "I never imagined that fifty years would pass in the blink of an eye, and the secret realm is about to open again."
"Of course! The number of people vying for the Ascension Tokens is increasing daily." Another person chimed in, shaking their head and sighing, "Tsk, speaking of which, we'll soon see countless high-ranking cultivators fighting over the Ascension Tokens again..."
Leng Huan listened and sipped his tea. The group of people over there were chatting quietly, not trying to hide it from others, and it wasn't a secret.
At this point, the man added, "Tokens are usually held by powerful forces. We are merely Golden Core cultivators, here just to broaden our horizons. Even if we obtain a token, it would be a crime to possess such a valuable item..."
His companion replied, "Indeed, I heard that once a Golden Core cultivator was lucky enough to obtain a token and enter the secret realm, but he never came out. There were also people who obtained tokens but were surrounded and robbed..."
After listening for a while, propping their heads up, Leng Huan and Fu Xun exchanged a glance, finished their not-so-good spiritual tea, paid for it, and left the teahouse, heading straight out of the town.
Since there's no place to stay in town, we might as well find a spot on the Immortal Plains and make do in the small boat. Cultivators can stay anywhere.
However, Leng Huan has recently taken to sleeping, so Fu Xun took it upon himself to act as her "maid," making the small boat comfortable for her so she could rest.
Seven or eight days passed in this way. When the time was almost up, Leng Huan took Fu Xun for a stroll near Xianyuan. The fields were lush with vegetation, and the scenery was beautiful.
One day, the space above Feixian Plain fluctuated, and a burst of white light suddenly appeared, rapidly falling in all directions.
It was as if I could hear a "whoosh" sound.
It's the scattered Immortal Tokens!
"Let's go—" Leng Huan immediately grabbed Fu Xun's sleeve and was about to rush to the light spot when he turned his head and saw a white light crashing towards him!
The light was so bright and intense that she couldn't open her eyes. She raised her hand to shield her eyes and only opened them when the light disappeared. What she saw was... two pure white ice lotuses blooming before her eyes.
"Flying Immortal Token." Fu Xun pulled her back, reached out and touched one of the ice lotuses. The flower instantly transformed into a special jade talisman, which fell into his palm.
Leng Huan: "..."
Suppressing his surprise, Leng Huan also touched the flower and obtained a jade talisman.
-
"Sister?"
"Huh?" Leng Huan snapped out of her reverie when she heard Fu Xun call her name. They were leaving their original spot and heading back to their temporary lodgings—a small forest in the wilderness.
Fu Xun: "What are you thinking about? Are you tired again?"
Leng Huan shook her head. She just didn't expect the Flying Immortal Token to actually come knocking on her door. She felt like she had found a rabbit that had run into a car and died.
What's this called? "Guardian Dragon Awaits Command"?
Then look at Fu Xun. He truly lives up to his title as the male lead. He obtains the Flying Immortal Token, which others fight tooth and nail for, so easily.
She sighed inwardly, "Whose cannon fodder is hanging out with the male lead? They're benefiting from his fame."
Now that she had the token, all that was left was to wait for the secret realm to open. Leng Huan didn't plan to wander around anymore, ostensibly because it was unsafe, but actually because she was just being lazy.
I always feel like I want to sleep whenever I go to her doghouse. She says she's meditating, but she starts to feel sleepy as she sits. Several times Fu Xun saw her snoring while sitting, so he simply advised her to lie down and sleep.
That's not all. After waking up, he eats. While Fu Xun is meditating, Leng Huan secretly nibbles on roast chicken.
It's a little embarrassing to admit, but I don't know when it started, Leng Huan began to feel a bit self-conscious about his image.
With Fu Xun around, she can barely eat a meal without devouring it. (Sarcasm intended)
I'm so hungry, I can never get enough to eat. I even wake up in the middle of the night craving it. I've eaten so many spiritual fruits, but my spiritual power hasn't increased at all. All I've gained is... weight!
OMG!
A quick calculation revealed that the secret realm would open in half a month, and Leng Huan suddenly realized that he had been eating and drinking every day—and had successfully developed a belly!
In order to avoid Fu Xun noticing that she looked like a pig, Leng Huan specially changed into a loose and crisp robe with a high waist, which perfectly concealed the fat on her stomach.
Leng Huan didn't know why she was gaining weight so quickly. Only cultivators who didn't care about their appearance would be so big and muscular. Of course she cared about her appearance!
"It's okay, it's just a little tummy. I heard that girls all have belly fat, it's not a big problem. It's just that I used to be too thin, and now I've suddenly gained a little weight... It's nothing, it's nothing..."
After mentally praising himself in front of the mirror, Leng Huan rubbed his face, which seemed a bit rounder, and touched his chin. It seemed he needed to lose weight.
She couldn't possibly transform from a graceful fairy into a chubby fairy; not to mention Fu Xun, even she herself was afraid of her Dao heart being shattered.
With his hands on his still slender waist, Leng Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, while giving himself a strict order: no meat, only spirit fruits!
lose weight.
After circulating the Spirit Cloud Scripture once, Fu Xun opened his eyes and saw Leng Huan muttering to herself, kicking her legs and stretching her back. He asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, what are you doing?"
Leng Huan paused, then turned to look at him. "It's nothing, just stretching. I've been lazy these past few months."
Fu Xun stood up and straightened his robes. Upon hearing this, his expression softened. "Senior Sister never slacks off in her cultivation. Taking a break now and then is beneficial to her mind."
Tsk, this kid really knows how to talk!
“Junior brother, you are well-versed in the art of diligence and leisure. Yet I have never seen you slack off. There is no reason why you should not succeed.”
He has both talent and self-discipline; it's no wonder that someone like him can succeed at anything.
Fu Xun merely smiled upon hearing this. Then, over the next few days, he noticed that Leng Huan's personality had changed—
Instead of eating all the time, they started muttering about losing weight, controlling their diet and exercising, and sleeping, saying that they wouldn't be hungry when they were asleep.
Losing weight? Fu Xun thought for a moment and then suddenly realized: "..."
He stared at Leng Huan from time to time, but couldn't see where she had gained weight.
His gaze swept over her waist, which was beautifully shaped and slender. Then he looked at her lower abdomen. Her clothes were loose, and she looked... plump, but not fat at all. He was both amused and exasperated.
He also advised her, "Senior sister, freedom is the most important thing in life. You really don't need to make things difficult for yourself. As the saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing."
Leng Huan inwardly agreed with this statement, but did not listen.
I have to swallow my saliva every day to resist.
-
Finally, the day before the secret realm was to open arrived, and Leng Huan tragically discovered that the flesh had stubbornly and resolutely grown into her belly!
Good heavens, she will never eat roast chicken in the middle of the night again!
Leng Huan was filled with regret; it was all his fault for not being firm enough and for not being able to resist talking...
His belly was noticeably bigger, and his waist had thickened. Leng Huan frowned, touching his belly as he fell into deep thought.
Could it be a strange disease?
I felt light and my spiritual energy was circulating smoothly. I looked in the mirror and saw that my waist and abdomen had gotten bigger. It wasn't obvious from the front, but from the side... it was quite noticeable.
She loosened the belt a little more, and the wide pleated skirt covered her from the chest down. With the addition of a loose outer garment, she could completely hide it, which was perfect.
Leng Huan was satisfied and resolved to control himself, to cultivate diligently, and not to continue being lazy.
But precisely because of this, Fu Xun failed to notice her problem in time.
Two young people with no relevant experience are preparing for a trip to a secret realm.
