Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 42 Why Not Bring Us Something

The atmosphere in the little yard is quite odd.

Meng Jing doesn’t talk much, she just looks at Xia Lu now and then.

Surprisingly, Xia Lu often glances at Meng Jing, too.

Apart from a brief introduction, the two girls have no communication at all.

“Boss, you’re going to blow your cover, aren’t you?” Asks Yue Xincheng after hitting Gao Ge on the shoulder.

Gao Ge is speechless.

“Next, I’m going to stay here for a few days.” Says Xia Lu.

Gao Ge thinks for a moment and nods, naturally he agrees.

After all, Xia Lu just broke into the Ning Family in order to help him out, and she is also injured.

“Have some of these fruits, too.” Walking towards Xia Lu, Gao Ge takes out two fruits from his bag and gives them to her.

Without saying anything, Meng Jing stares at Gao Ge firmly and curls her lips.

When Xia Lu takes those fruits, she smiles meaningfully at Meng Jing again, looking very friendly. However, something unusual can be spotted.

“Your girlfriend is very pretty.” Says Xia Lu.

“Thanks.” Gao Ge smiles.

Xia Lu doesn’t talk anymore after eating those fruits.

Gao Ge shakes his head and walks into the room to keep studying the power of stars in his body.

If he cannot understand this, he won’t be able to define his current strength.

When he tries to use the Qi conduction, he can always move the power of stars. However, the amount of it is so insufficient.

The Star Tree inside him is still flourishing. Gao Ge can find a force which keeps obstructing him every time he uses the Qi conduction to mobilize the power of stars. Obviously, his method is wrong. After all, the power of stars is very different from his strength. The strength naturally belongs to him. Yet the power of stars is borrowed from the Star Tree. Therefore, if he wants to comprehend his strength, he must start with the Star Tree.

Honestly, Gao Ge does not know if this research direction is right, but he has to try it.

After running his strength for three rounds, Gao Ge slowly stops to have a rest. Now his forehead is covered with sweat.

“The efficiency of the Qi conduction is really bad. I suppose I can’t treat the power of stars as my strength. If this is the case, then those martial techniques I have learned will be useless!” Gao Ge thinks to himself, feeling kind of depressed.

“What might happen if I skip this part, and directly use my martial skills to mobilize the power of stars?” Gao Ge decides to try again.

He stands up and flails his fist after the start-up style. He feels the power of stars slowly flowing inside his body, but its effect is far from satisfactory. It’s much too lamer than the punch he made when he struck the Thunder Tiger.

Anyway, the punch Gao Ge swayed in the realm of Mount Duanlong is equivalent to the power of an ordinary cultivator who is able to make his strength diffuse.

He sits cross-legged, attempting to run the power of stars while studying the stars on the Star Tree.

“Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are.”

“Look at the stars, one, two, three, four, they form a line.”

“See shinny stars lightening my door.”

Well... Gao Ge realizes none of them can make it.

Apparently, they are not the Star Tree’s mantra.

Holy hell.

So complicated...

He feels the same pain that Yue Xincheng suffered from.

All of a sudden, Gao Ge is refreshed.

He stares at the stars in the Star Tree, and finds a pattern of stars connected is now flickering...

Unconsciously, he once again mires in it.

Above him, he sees the velvety black sky dotted with twinkling stars. As his full mind sinks into the Star Tree, Gao Ge surprisingly finds himself growing inside it. He looks around and sees that everything around him is a cluster of bright stars.

It seems as if he were standing in the depths of the universe, admiring the star maps.

He takes a deep breath and thinks he might have found the right way.

When he tries to study each picture carefully, a sudden roar strikes his ear, it is like two planets colliding with each other just in front of him, and his soul feels a wrenching pain. Gao Ge shrieks bitterly, yet when he opens his eyes, he sees a darkened room.

The door is pushed wide open, Yue Xincheng and Meng Jing hurriedly walks in with others.

“What’s wrong, Boss?”

“Are you alright, Gao Ge? I heard your screams.”

“Are you getting a little carried away?”

Gao Ge is totally wet, as if he just took a bath.

“I’m fine.” Although he says so, he can already feel the weakness of his limbs, and the feeling of exhaustion sweeps through his whole body. He feels that he just took part in a Marathon and ran for dozens of kilometers.

Xia Lu suddenly takes a step forward and reaches her hand out and then holds the wrist of Gao Ge.

Meng Jing’s eyeballs almost pop out.

“What’s inside you is chaotic and I can feel a force flowing aimlessly around your body...”

“I can also feel a force running inside me!” Says Yue Xincheng, with his face turning pale.

Xia Lu freezes for an instant and then quickly holds Yue Xincheng’s wrist. Immediately she throws his wrist away and rolls her eyes, “That’s a fart.”

Yue Xincheng is speechless.

“Were you using the Qi conduction I gave to you?” Asks Xia Lu curiously.

“Well... I was.” Gao Ge nods.

“And what’s inside you is strength, right?”

“I have no clue.”

Seeing Gao Ge being vague about his actions, Xia Lu doesn’t ask any more questions. After telling him to have a good rest, she walks out.

Meng Jing taps Gao Ge’s head with her fingers when Xia Lu leaves.

“You two are quite close. Did you give her the Qi conduction?”

“Certainly, and I earned 200, 000 yuan.”

Meng Jing starts to laugh delightfully.

So they are not familiar!

Otherwise, why did Gao Ge take the money?

“It’s late, I need to go home.” Says Meng Jing.

“No problem, let’s go.”

They walk out of the room together. Unlike them, Xia Lu wants to keep staying here. Although Gao Ge is worried about her, he has to leave, otherwise Meng Jing would be suspicious.

“This place is tatty, I’m going to buy you some necessities, it would look better with some furniture inside!” Says Yue Xincheng willingly.

Actually, Yue Xincheng always acts like a scrooge in front of Gao Ge, he even ate more kebabs when they had barbecue together.

Now he doesn’t have to act like that. Anyway, Gao Ge has already known his identity. And he will not agree if Yue Xincheng doesn’t act generously like a second generation of the rich.

On their way home, Meng Jing asks about Xia Lu. Gao Ge naturally tells her everything.

Anyway, he doesn’t think there’s anything unspeakable between them.

He goes back home after sending Meng Jing to her home. However, to his surprise, someone unexpected is standing beside his apartment.

“Are you back?” Zhao Jin waves his hand.

“Why are you here again?” Asks Gao Ge laughably.

“Come upstairs now.” Says Gao Ge. Then he starts to climb the stairs and Zhao Jin quickly follows him.

Song Yun opens the door and sees Zhao Jin behind, her eyes look down a bit and then she asks.

“Hey! Why don’t you bring us something this time?”

Zhao Jin doesn’t know how to respond.

“Ha ha, just kidding, come inside, I am going out to play mah-jongg.”
