Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Jiang Yuan watched Lu Qingshan’s disappearing figure and was filled with doubts.

He could sense that Lu Qingshan seemed to have something to say but was reluctant to delay his cultivation.

After a while, he shook his head, maybe it’s just my imagination.

Jiang Yuan too started feeling tired and didn’t want to continue his practice for now. He wanted to rest properly.

So he said, “Xiaoxiao, heat some water, I want to take a bath later!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly nodded and then turned to run into the house.

Having a maid is really convenient, Jiang Yuan laughed, then casually found a lounge chair to lie on.

After a while, Shu Xiaoxiao’s voice came from inside the house.

“Young Master, the hot water is ready!”

Jiang Yuan immediately got up and went to the bathroom.

At this moment, Shu Xiaoxiao was wearing a single layer of clothing, revealing her slender arms and legs.

Her face was flushed.

Under her wide outfit, Jiang Yuan quickly settled into the bathtub.

“Comfortable!” he sighed.

Shu Xiaoxiao gently scrubbed his back and occasionally kneaded his muscles for him.

The sound of water was rustling.

The steam had filled the entire bathroom.

There was a faint dampness on her hair and her body.

“Young Master, have you ever thought about finding a Dao Companion?” Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and curiously looked at her, “Why do you ask that?”

“Because…” She dropped her head and cooed, “Because I’m afraid that once you find a Dao Companion, you will no longer need me, nor will you need me to help you bath or scrub your back.”

Jiang Yuan laughed and pinched her delicate nose, “I won’t find a Dao Companion, I don’t need a Dao Companion!”

“I’m sure I’ll ascend to the peak of the Great Dao in this lifetime and enjoy eternal peace!”

“The bond of a Dao Companion is too deep. In the future, watching a loved one turn to dust…”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “I don’t want to face such a scene.”

Shu Xiaoxiao lowered her voice, “No wonder I always feel that Young Master is somewhat detached from others, always different!”

Jiang Yuan muttered, “Perhaps! I don’t want to change myself.”

At this moment, Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled enchantingly, “Since Young Master will not find a Dao Companion, then I can always stay by your side to take care of you! That’s pretty good too!”

Jiang Yuan patted her head, “Yes, that’s good! But it’s such a pity to have you follow me around!”

He suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.

Shu Xiaoxiao smiled, “No! Xiaoxiao is very happy to stay with Young Master! Where could I go without you?”

“My parents sold me to a brothel, I don’t want to go back to that home!”

“If not for you, Young Master, I might have already been a floating corpse in the river of Lin’an County by now!”

Jiang Yuan patted her head.

“Young Master, it’s also pretty good for us to rely on each other for life. I’m quite satisfied.”

Shu Xiaoxiao murmured.

A moment later.

After Jiang Yuan finished bathing, he sat down in a chair.

Shu Xiaoxiao stood behind Jiang Yuan combing his hair.

“Young Master, your hair has grown a little longer, do you want me to give you a trim?”

“Mm!” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly summoned her sword, slicing towards Jiang Yuan’s hair.

Jiang Yuan watched her unconventional way of cutting hair and was left speechless.

Then he heard Shu Xiaoxiao exclaim, “Young Master, your hair is too tough! This Moon Reflection can’t even cut your hair.”

Jiang Yuan looked back, and sure enough, not a single hair had fallen to the ground.

He was taken aback, has his hair become this tough now?

“Young Master, let me try again!” Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly said enthusiastically.

“Alright!”

The next moment, her spiritual power filled the sword, and with a flash of sword light, strands of hair gently floated down.

Shu Xiaoxiao then swung several more times, followed by a faint smile, “Hehe, done!”

She put away her long sword and stood behind Jiang Yuan, combing his long hair.

After a long time.

“Young Master, it’s done!”

She stood behind Jiang Yuan, allowing him to lean against her thigh.

Looking at Jiang Yuan’s reflection in the mirror, she again admired, “Young Master is really good-looking!”

Her heart was instantly filled with pride.

Inhaling the faint scent of a woman in his nostrils, Jiang Yuan too felt exceedingly peaceful.

After a while, Jiang Yuan said, “You should go and bathe too! Your body is kind of damp!”

She looked down at her body, where the skin was faintly discernible due to the wetness, and her face instantly flushed.

“Young Master, then I’ll go take a bath!”

She stuttered.

Two hours later.

After cleaning up, Shu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room and saw that Jiang Yuan was already asleep on a lounge chair in the courtyard.

She went over and noticed Jiang Yuan’s slightly furrowed brows and gently smoothed them out.

She then fetched a blanket and covered Jiang Yuan with it.

Looking at the sleeping Jiang Yuan, she whispered to herself, “How nice!”

The next day.

Jiang Yuan slowly sat up and noticed the blanket on his body, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Then he noticed Shu Xiaoxiao sleeping on another lounge chair.

As if sensing Jiang Yuan’s gaze, her eyelashes fluttered and her eyes slowly opened.

“Ah! Young Master, you’re awake, I’m going to fetch water for you to wash up now!”

She quickly stood up.

Jiang Yuan smiled, “Alright!”

Although he could conjure water out of thin air now, he preferred the more troublesome method.

After a while, after they had both freshened up, Jiang Yuan took her and left the mansion, heading towards the Techniques Pavilion.

Since Lu Qingshan had given him the authority to freely access the Techniques Pavilion, he thought he could go take a look at the top floor too.
