Chapter 22: My Brother Is Not a Vulgar Man! (Part 1)

The next morning, Ning Wuxie left the valley and arrived in town early to buy a few outfits that fit Xuan’er’s current figure, as well as some groceries and meat.

Except for some major cities in the Lingwu Continent, the town of Fangu in the Yinsi Valley should be the only place where gold, silver, and spirit stones can be freely exchanged.

In the tailor shop, Ning Wuxie carefully selected several pieces of clothing that he thought would suit Xuan’er, all made of top-quality satin, costing him a lot of spirit stones.

Back at home, Xuan’er didn’t come out to greet him but called out to him from inside the blanket.

After a night, she began to get used to her own body and age, feeling a bit embarrassed about some unfamiliar parts.

“Xuan’er, I bought some clothes for you, hurry and change.” Ning Wuxie placed a stack of clothes next to Xuan’er and walked outside.

He started heating the oil in the pot, preparing a lavish meal for the day to celebrate Xuan’er’s awakening.

Soon, a fragrant breeze came from behind, and Ning Wuxie felt a soft and gentle body pressing against his back, Xuan’er’s head resting on his shoulder, her hair tickling his cheek.

The adorable little Xuan’er had become a thing of the past; the current Xuan’er could easily reach his shoulders by tiptoeing.

“Brother, I’ve put on the clothes you bought for me.”

“Really? Let me see.” Ning Wuxie turned around with a smile, looking at Xuan’er.

In the simple room, Xuan’er looked like a charming spring scene, elegant and lovely. Her beautiful face wore a faint smile, with rosy cheeks like ripe peaches.

Ning Wuxie felt like every inch of her skin was glowing, dazzling but not unhealthy, giving off a warm and soft feeling.

In Ning Wuxie’s heart, the budding and charming Xuan’er was probably the most beautiful woman in the world at that moment, even surpassing Luobing.

More importantly, she was willing to show this beauty only to him.

Her pair of autumn water eyes blinked with anticipation, her hands behind her back, a bit shy but hoping for Ning Wuxie’s praise.

“Xuan’er is truly beautiful! So pretty!”

Seeing the pitiful look in the little girl’s eyes, Ning Wuxie couldn’t bear to let her down. He reached out to pat Xuan’er’s head, smiling contentedly, like an old father seeing his daughter grow up.

But Xuan’er took a step forward, getting even closer.

“Do you like the old Xuan’er or the current Xuan’er?”

“Uh…” Ning Wuxie scratched his head for a moment.

Why did it feel like a tricky question? Why was little Xuan’er asking such things?

“I like both Xuan’ers. The little Xuan’er is cute, and the grown-up Xuan’er is beautiful. I will always like the future Xuan’er too!”

As Ning Wuxie spoke, he felt that his answer sounded a bit strange.

But Xuan’er seemed very satisfied, her cheeks flushed, and she threw herself into Ning Wuxie’s arms.

“I also like you, I will always like you…”

Ning Wuxie’s hands hung in the air, one hand stained with oil, the other holding a spatula, feeling a bit dazed.

The little girl had really grown up… but she probably didn’t understand the meaning of liking yet, right? Her liking was just pure liking!

After all, Ning Wuxie was an adult in his heart, facing Xuan’er, who was innocent and naive despite having no blood relationship, he only wanted to protect her.

“Xuan’er, the food is burning.” Suddenly smelling the burnt smell coming from the pot behind him, Ning Wuxie hurriedly said.

After lunch, a handsome young man and woman leaned against the wall, basking in the sun.

Xuan’er hugged Ning Wuxie’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder.

Ning Wuxie didn’t feel annoyed at all; there was a certain scent or temperament about Xuan’er that quickly calmed his heart, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

“Xuan’er, now that you have awakened the Divine Spiritual Body, do you feel any difference from before?”

“I feel… there is much more spiritual power in my body, and there is also a lot of spiritual power in the air around me.”

“And the fields are bright, full of brilliance, as if they are constantly in operation, I’m not quite sure.” Jiang Ningxuan showed a thoughtful expression as she spoke slowly.

Similar to what Ning Wuxie had thought, the Divine Spiritual Body had a terrifying level of sensitivity to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Moreover, the nature of the true element was also different from Ning Wuxie’s. Ning Wuxie’s true element could only be considered as true element supported by the heavens, emitting a colorful radiance.

While Xuan’er’s true element was pure, just like the strand she gave herself, the seven-colored light had already merged into one, shining with pure brilliance.

“Then, Xuan’er, how many true elements do you have now?” Ning Wuxie asked nervously.

This was the question he cared about the most; he was worried that Xuan’er’s transfer of true elements to him would damage his foundation.

After all, the difference between nine true elements and eight true elements was not insignificant. Her entire future cultivation journey would be affected by the intensity of the true elements!
