Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 315 - 249 Elevator_2

And in the blink of an eye, many things could be accomplished.

For those who dared to look at him in that manner in the Cultivation World, it was commonplace for some powerful cultivators to simply annihilate them.

Although his current strength was insufficient, it wasn’t excessive for him to punish them easily.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, we are almost at Chuchu’s house. Quickly divine the way, figure out where her home is!" Xue Yuantong reminded Jiang Ning that it was his turn to make a move.

"Okay, I’ll give it a try."

Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense spread out hundreds of meters instantly, like X-ray beams revealing the internal structure of buildings as countless pieces of information displayed in his mind.

He instantly found Xue Chuchu’s residence and planned a shortcut.

The mountain bike moved forward about thirty meters and then suddenly turned right into an alley.

"Did you find it?" Xue Yuantong asked him.

"Yes, I did."

"But why don’t you count fingers when you divine?" Pretending, Xue Yuantone snapped at Jiang Ning’s clothes.

Jiang Ning: "Because I can calculate mentally."

Xue Yuantong felt Jiang Ning was deceiving her. Didn’t divination require some pomp?

Some even needed a long time to brew before they could glimpse a sliver of fate.

Jiang Ning turned into an even narrower alley, flanked by seven-story old buildings, their heads under a cluttered sky crisscrossed with aging, bundled wires.

Passing by two large green garbage bins, they rode all the way to the deep end of the alley, eventually stopping at the second to last stairway entrance.

He said, "We’re here."

"I’ll carry the vegetables." Xue Yuantong volunteered enthusiastically.

"She lives on the seventh floor, can you manage?"

Had this not been mentioned, Xue Yuantong might still have split some of the vegetables for Jiang Ning to carry; however, with that comment, the situation escalated.

’She is underestimating me!’

Xue Yuantong felt she must show him her capability.

Carrying the vegetables, she led the way and began climbing the stairs.

She charged to the fourth floor in one go, and although tired, she gritted her teeth and pushed for one more floor, finally reaching her limit.

Empty-handed, Jiang Ning easily passed her, leisurely ascending the stairs.

Infuriated, Xue Yuantong’s arms ached, draining her strength almost causing her to lose grip of the vegetable bags.

Xue Yuantong mentally commanded: ’Activate the hidden reserve energy.’

Like a robot, a burst of strength surged through her body, and she dashed up two more floors, finally reaching the seventh floor.

Having undergone this ordeal, Xue Yuantong’s legs nearly gave out, almost unable to stand.

It was all Jiang Ning’s fault!

Jiang Ning knocked on the door, and a girl’s voice sounded from inside:

"Coming."

Xue Chuchu opened the door, her eyes first landing on Jiang Ning’s handsome face, then moving downward to see Tongtong covered in bags of vegetables.

"Ha, Chuchu, I carried them all the way up, impressive right!" Xue Yuantong panted from exertion but her face wore a proud, undeniable smile.

Xue Chuchu nodded, "Indeed impressive."

"Yeah, obviously." Xue Yuantong felt the exhaustion was worth it, now feeling a full sense of accomplishment.

"Come in," Xue Chuchu ushered them inside, leading the way as she said:

"This place is quite convoluted; surprisingly, you actually found it."

"Thanks to Jiang Ning’s divination." Xue Yuantong mentioned.

Xue Chuchu fetched a thermos, pouring two cups of water as she asked:

"How did you know this was my home? There’s another family living across the hall?"

Just finding the building would have been impressive if the address had been given, but she had never mentioned which unit was hers.

"The apartment across is empty, no one lives there," Jiang Ning said.

"Ah, you noticed?" Xue Chuchu’s neighbors, a mother and son, used to live opposite her.

The mother was a kind person, her husband worked in the Coastal Region, and she moved from Tu County to the urban area for her child’s education.

They bought an apartment in the urban area, and the building was still under construction. Originally, they planned to move out after it was completed.

However, there was a young man in the neighborhood who continually quarreled with the elderly and idled his days away.

Somehow, he started playing with the mother’s child.

He led the boy astray, and unfortunately soon became a bad influence. Xue Chuchu recalled one day when he even pushed a flowerpot off the stairwell balcony; fortunately, it didn’t hit anyone.

The mother tried to admonish them to no avail.

"Chuchu, can I take a look at your bedroom?"

"Of course." Xue Chuchu had previously hesitated about whether to invite Tongtong and Jiang Ning to her home.

But once she decided on something, she’d open her heart and let them do as they pleased, no matter how impolite the request might be.

Of course, touring the house wasn’t impolite.

Xue Yuantong stepped into Chuchu’s room.

Jiang Ning stood at the bedroom doorway, his Divine Sense sensing that Xue Chuchu beside him seemed uneasy. She clenched her fingers, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on Xue Yuantong, worried she might show disappointment.

Xue Yuantong entered the room and immediately noticed the map on the wall.

"Wow, what a huge map!" Xue Yuantong exclaimed.

She stood in front of the map, gesturing with her hands, and quickly located Yuzhou City.

"Such a tiny area," Xue Yuantong said.

Compared to the vast world map, Yuzhou City was indeed very small.

Xue Yuantong pondered for a moment, then added,

"It seems not that small actually."

Yuzhou City had three counties, and Xue Yuantong had only visited one. Even within the urban area, she hadn’t explored everywhere.

If during middle school her exploration progress of the urban area was 3%, after having Jiang Ning as her driver, her exploration progress skyrocketed to 23%.

"Chuchu, Jiang Ning, how about we mark the places we’ve been to on the map?"

"Sure," Xue Chuchu agreed.

She stood in front of another map of the country, pointing at Yuzhou City.

Then she just stopped there.

Xue Yuantong looked at Chuchu and giggled,

"What a coincidence, I’ve never left Yuzhou either."

Then she continuously pointed at several cities on the map, like Nan City and Huai City.

"Jiang Ning, are these the cities you’ve been to before?"

"Yes," Jiang Ning nodded, but Xue Yuantong hadn’t pointed out all of them. In recent months, he had traveled to many places by Spirit Boat to gather materials.

And these were nothing. His real activity was in the Cultivation World.

Although Jiang Ning started as an Ascetic, he later ascended to the Golden Core Realm and would often leave to execute sect missions, often traveling great distances to hunt down Evil Cultivators.

Those Evil Cultivators wouldn’t just wait to be slaughtered, often hiding in various perilous places, Thunder Valley, Three Mysterious Heavens, Black Water Falls—those spectacular scenes, almost divine.

Only heaven knows if he would have the opportunity to return to the Cultivation World.

After chatting for a while, Xue Chuchu said, "I’ll get the clothes ready, afterward we can leave."

She wrung the bedsheets and covers briefly, putting them into the spin-dry bucket, and started the washing machine.

The old washing machine had strong spin power and was simple and crude, spinning the tub wildly.

Two minutes later, the spin cycle was complete, and Xue Chuchu moved the now lighter bedsheets and covers to a basin.

Xue Yuantong approached her and together they went to the balcony,

"Chuchu, let me help you dry these; more hands make light work." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Xue Chuchu looked at the clothesline above her head. It was very high, and she had to tiptoe just to barely hang things up there.

Normally, Xue Chuchu used a clothes prop to hang her clothes.

"Give me some of the clothes," Xue Yuantong eagerly offered to help.

Not wanting to disappoint her kindness, Xue Chuchu relented, "Alright then."

She handed a pillowcase to Tongtong.

Then, considering Tongtong’s height, she presumed it would be somewhat difficult.

So, she handed over the clothes prop to Tongtong: "You use it."

Xue Yuantong waved her hand, dismissively refusing,

"It’s too much trouble."

It was time to show off her strength; she only needed to lightly raise it to easily hang it up.

Xue Yuantong adjusted the pillowcase, first placing it on the clothes prop, then she raised the clothes prop high to hang it on the line.

This moment demonstrated the importance of height. According to Jiang Ning’s long-term observation, Xue Yuantong had grown slightly, from a previously fictitious 153 cm to a real 153 cm.

Though still short, she wasn’t particularly short anymore.

However, this small increase in height wasn’t enough for her to hang the clothes prop on the line.

She even jumped twice.

But missed.

Xue Chuchu watched her hopping about.

Xue Yuantong stopped jumping and shouted,

"Jiang Ning, whisk me up to the heavens."

She raised her arms, temporarily handing over control of her body to her most trusted Xiao Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning walked over, slightly bending, and embraced her soft body from behind, gently lifting her up.

As Xue Yuantong rose up, from 153 cm to 193 cm, she stood in mid-air, her expression proud, casually and deftly securing the clothes prop.

Together with Jiang Ning, she would be an invincible force in the world.
