Thinking this, Luo Huangjun felt a trace of secret delight rise inexplicably in her heart, and her mood lifted.
［Luo Huangjun: One month.］
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Huangjun ultimately did not add the rather smug-looking triumphant emoji in the expression column.
She always felt that it wouldn't be appropriate.
Moreover, this senior sister of hers had never been someone particularly magnanimous.
After the message was sent, there was no reply from the other side. With a rather pleasant mood, Luo Huangjun used the one-month cultivation boost card.
.....
Morning came, and the rising sun hung low in the sky.
Today was already the fourth day since Chu Ge had entered Taihuang. His cultivation had gradually gotten onto the right track.
Every day, he read cultivation knowledge and history to broaden his understanding, transformed his apertures, practiced his spiritual techniques, and opened star apertures. Everything proceeded in an orderly and steady manner.
"Junior Brother! Junior Brother!"
Outside the door, a clear, crisp call rang out.
Chu Ge smiled knowingly and went to open the door.
As expected, outside stood a graceful young girl with a curvaceous, plump beauty—none other than Su Lingyuan.
A smile rested on the girl's face, shallow dimples appearing, her large eyes especially bright. Her whole person seemed brimming with vitality.
Upon seeing Chu Ge, Su Lingyuan's already bright eyes seemed to light up even more.
Chu Ge also noticed that the girl seemed slightly different from before.
The eyes with which she looked at him were far brighter than usual, shimmering with rippling light, as if hiding a pool of autumn water within.
"Senior Sister,"
Chu Ge greeted her with a smile.
"Hehe,"
the young girl answered with an even more radiant smile.
"Come on, come on. I'll take you to receive the rewards issued by the Holy Land."
"Oh? So soon?"
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow. After retrieving the Huanglong Seal, he was to receive an extremely generous reward, but no one had specified when it would be given. He had expected to wait quite a while—never did he think it would come so quickly.
Thinking this, Chu Ge left Taihuang Hall together with Su Lingyuan.
The two walked side by side. Though Su Lingyuan's expression remained calm, her heart was somewhat unsettled.
She had naturally also received the prompt after obtaining the origin reward that day.
About "raising the diary owner's favorability," she naturally understood what that meant.
Ever since the diary copy first appeared, she had been extremely curious about Chu Ge.
Now that this diary owner had become her junior brother, and after a few days of interaction, she had a rather good impression of him as well.
If deeper feelings were to truly develop between the two in the future, Su Lingyuan was not opposed to it.
It was just that… she lacked confidence!
She secretly glanced at Chu Ge as he walked ahead beneath the morning sun.
His face was still as handsome as ever. Bathed in the faint morning light, he seemed even more otherworldly and refined. The faint aura he gave off also made Su Lingyuan feel extremely comfortable.
The more she looked, the more entranced she became.
Only when she came back to her senses did she realize that Chu Ge was also gazing at her with a smile.
In an instant, Su Lingyuan's heart tightened.
'That's simply cheating!'
'Go raise junior brother's favorability? I'm afraid I'll be the one to fall first!'
Thinking this, Su Lingyuan no longer dared to look at Chu Ge.
She felt she truly couldn't get a handle on him.
This junior brother was simply too monstrous—
Whether in talent, or in appearance and bearing.
'But if I really could become Dao companions with junior brother… that might actually be quite nice…'
This thought suddenly sprouted in Su Lingyuan's heart. She hurriedly shook her head, trying to fling away the bold idea.
"We've arrived."
With a blush that still hadn't faded from her face, Su Lingyuan looked at the grand, imposing building before them and spoke as if nothing were amiss.
