Just Wanting to Live Well, but Surpassing the Protagonist – 33 Companions

Qin Shimeng followed her master An Yufang’s instructions and looked for companions before going to the secret realm.

However, Qin Shimeng had no friends. Although she could get a lot of male cultivators to help her with just a shout, she didn’t want to owe anyone favors. Suddenly, Qin Shimeng thought of a petite junior sister with a soft and gentle voice but very assertive speech, Liang Xiaorou.

When Qin Shimeng first entered the sect, Liang Xiaorou had taken good care of her. The two of them would occasionally interact.

In the Sword Pavilion Hall, it was easy to find out about anyone. Qin Shimeng quickly inquired about Liang Xiaorou’s location.

“Black Water Secret Realm?” Liang Xiaorou was studying an Earth-rank cultivation technique in the Cultivation Technique Hall. She put down the book and looked at Qin Shimeng in confusion. “Are you short of cultivation resources? That’s impossible. Elder An should have prepared some for you. Besides, aren’t you the young lady of the Qin family? As long as it’s not something very rare, your family should be able to send it over immediately if you need it, right?”

When the Qin family was mentioned, a trace of bitterness appeared in Qin Shimeng’s eyes. Ye Yong had not given her any cultivation techniques. Before her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, who among the Qin family’s elders would truly respect her opinions? They treated her as a dispensable marriage tool to strengthen the family.

Ever since Qin Shimeng had established her foundation, she had never asked her family for anything. After all, she didn’t want to be scolded by her elders for only knowing how to take things without considering the family at all.

“I need to find a Quenching Spirit Flower.” Qin Shimeng answered the question without thinking about those unpleasant memories.

“Quenching Spirit Flower? That’s indeed not common. Even with connections, it’s not necessarily possible to buy it.” Liang Xiaorou had always been a curious person. “But haven’t you already formed a crystal core? What do you need it for ?”

“To give it to a friend.”

Liang Xiaorou nodded and didn’t ask any further. After all, she wasn’t here to investigate her household register. It was enough to know the basics. “Alright, I’ll go with you. I also want to find some demon beast to practice with.”

“Just the two of us?” Qin Shimeng heard Liang Xiaorou’s tone and it seemed like she didn’t plan on finding any more companions.

“Too many people will only get in the way. Although we are women, it’s not like we definitely need men to help us. Don’t worry, if we encounter any danger, I will protect you. My grandfather and the others have given me a lot of magic treasures, and I have never used them before. I remember that only those below the Nascent Soul realm can enter the Black Water Secret Realm, and the items they gave me can kill mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. If anyone dares to have designs on us, they should be the ones who are afraid.”

“That’s true.” Qin Shimeng had also received many magic treasures from An Yufang. The three sword symbols alone were enough to scare away many cultivators. Moreover, they were both disciples of the Heavenly Luo Sect, one a True Disciple of an elder and the other an inner sect disciple. This status was not something that others dared to provoke outside.

“We will do as the two junior sisters say.” Just as Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou were about to set off, a few male cultivators at the Golden Core stage blocked the entrance of the Cultivation Technique Hall.

“Go away.” Liang Xiaorou knew that the other party was not here for her, because with her father around, no one in the sect would bother her. The problem was that Liang Xiaorou knew that Qin Shimeng was not the kind of coquettish woman who liked to be surrounded by men. She had never seen her get close to any man… except for Ye Yong. Wait, she said she was going to give it to a friend. Could it be Ye Yong?

Liang Xiaorou quickly let her mind wander and thought of something else.

“Don’t reject us so quickly, Junior Sister Liang.” The leader of the group, a tall and handsome man, said, “We are also planning to go to the Black Water Secret Realm. As fellow sect disciples, wouldn’t it be better to have someone to look out for each other?”

“Who needs you to look out for us?” Liang Xiaorou rolled her eyes.

“I know that both junior sisters have very powerful self-defense magic treasures, but activating magic treasures also consumes spiritual power and soul power. Junior Sister is so charming that those guys outside will definitely try every means to get close to you. Junior Sister can’t possibly take out a powerful magic treasure to scare away every single person she meets, right? That would be too tiring. With us around, we can greatly reduce the chances of Junior Sister being approached and harassed.”

“Moreover, unlike Junior Sister, we don’t have such powerful magic treasures. If we encounter any danger in the secret realm, we will need the protection of the junior sisters.”

Many people in the sect were afraid of Liang Xiaorou, but everyone also knew one thing, that she cared a lot about the sect. Last time, an ordinary disciple from the Sword Pavilion Hall was bullied by another sect when he was out on a mission . Liang Xiaorou directly took him to that sect to seek justice, scaring the sect elder into personally coming out to apologize and punishing those arrogant inner sect disciples. Only then did the matter come to an end.

As long as it was reasonable, Liang Xiaorou would basically help anyone she could.

This time, the Black Water Secret Realm was relatively dangerous. Although the male cultivators were at the Golden Core stage, the highest among them was only at the fifth layer. If they really encountered those ruthless guys, they would still be in danger. Therefore , having powerful magic treasures to protect themselves would be more secure.

“That makes sense.” Liang Xiaorou crossed her arms and thought for a moment. “Moreover, when we need some muscle, you guys can also be useful.”

“Yes, yes, yes. The male cultivators nodded repeatedly. In fact, they knew that as long as they had a good enough reason to convince Liang Xiaorou, it would be fine.

“But let me make this clear first. If Junior Sister Qin doesn’t want to talk and you guys keep pestering her, we’ll each go our separate ways.”

“Don’t worry, don’t you trust our character?”

Liang Xiaorou snorted. Did she not know what these male cultivators were thinking? They just wanted to perform well in front of Qin Shimeng. If they couldn’t talk this time, then they would do it next time. Anyway, they would keep appearing before her.

“Go and prepare whatever you need. The secret realm is about to close, so don’t waste any time.”

The Black Water Secret Realm had been open for ten days, and now nine days had passed. It would take at least a day of non-stop flying on a flying spirit tool to get from the Heavenly Luo Sect to the Black Water Secret Realm, so there were only two and a half days left to explore. The remaining half a day would be used to leave the secret realm.

Two and a half days to explore a huge secret realm was actually not enough time.

“Okay, Junior Apprentice Sister, please wait for half an incense stick of time, we’ll be right back.” Those few Golden Core Senior Brothers quickly left.

Liang Xiaorou brought Qin Shimeng back to the Cultivation Technique Hall and sat at the table: “You don’t mind me making such a decision, do you?”

“Not at all.” Qin Shimeng shook her head: “Master originally asked me to find a few more dao companions, it’s just that I don’t know many people, so…”

“Alright, you’ve only just joined the sect not long ago, take your time. Although those guys have their own little thoughts, I do know them, and their personal qualities aren’t bad. If you really think they’re annoying and don’t want to bother with them, then don’t bother with them.”

Qin Shimeng indicated that she understood, she was originally a cold and aloof person, and wouldn’t be embarrassed to reject someone just because they were enthusiastic towards her. After all, face is something that is given by both parties, you respect me, and I will respect you. But if you keep wanting me to do this and that, sorry, do you still think I’ll care about you?

It was like this when she first met ‘Ye Yong’, at the beginning, Qin Shimeng would still give him some face, but ‘Ye Yong’ kept pushing his luck and became increasingly shameless, so naturally she became less and less polite.

Thinking back to the ‘Ye Yong’ of the past, Qin Shimeng had thought more than once that he and the current him were completely different people. The past him was a hypocrite, his words and actions were full of forcefulness and intimidation. The current he is a true gentleman, his words and actions are gentle and make people feel comfortable.

Qin Shimeng had never thought that he would change, and had never thought that she herself would…

It really does prove what he said, people will always change.

(Sure enough, what I feared most still happened, it’s too terrifying. How could there be someone so cruel, making a cute mosquito use such thin legs to tap on the keyboard to type?

Let everyone see the villain’s true face, and he’s even a V10, he must be a habitual offender.

Security, security, where are you.

I won’t say anymore, I’ll type, I definitely have to pay it back in a short amount of time, and not let it accumulate.)
