Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 598 - 597 First Meeting

```

As the Qilin Immortal’s illusory shadow faded, the lines on the Remaining Image Stone dimmed and no matter how much spiritual essence was injected, it had no effect; the stone turned into a useless rock.

The entire place fell silent.

Jiang Lianyi spread her arms and slowly hugged Fairy Eternity, patting her back and said softly, "Don’t cry, I believe you."

"Can you tell me about the me in your memories?"

Lu Yang couldn’t touch Fairy Eternity because his soul hadn’t cultivated enough, but for Jiang Lianyi, that was easy.

"Mm!"

Fairy Eternity nodded vigorously, holding back her tears.

Jiang Lianyi got out of bed and invited Fairy Eternity and Lu Yang to sit at the stone table, meticulously pouring tea.

The curled golden tea leaves unfolded in the cup, countless principles evolved within it, and then all merged back into the tea.

This was for Fairy Eternity to drink.

If Lu Yang took a sip, he feared he would be dissolved on the spot by the tea’s principled essence.

Jiang Lianyi personally poured tea for Lu Yang, who quickly got up to thank her, feeling surprisingly flattered.

The tea Lu Yang drank was another kind, unknown in name, but definitely fine tea; the fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, automatically triggering his cultivation technique to cultivate.

"Our acquaintance started with a misunderstanding..."

Fairy Eternity began narrating in a flowing manner, detailing the story of how she met and befriended Jiang Lianyi, including the minutiae of cooking lessons and playing dead technique.

"Back then, you and Ao Ling were crying and making a fuss about becoming my disciples, but I did not agree."

"Not long after that, the two of you faced the Qilin Immortal in battle, unable to contend with the survival of the fittest Dao Fruit Outline, losing the qualifications to become immortals."

...The process of her marriage to the Qilin Immortal, life after the wedding, attending the gatherings of the Five Immortals, and enjoying great conversations...

Fairy Eternity’s description was so vivid that Jiang Lianyi was immersed in it, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

"In the end, I lost my will, and when I awoke, I saw Lu Yang."

At the end, even Fairy Eternity herself laughed.

"Why are you crying?"

Fairy Eternity noticed Jiang Lianyi sitting there dazed, with a vacant look, letting tears slip down her cheeks.

"Ah? Oh."

Upon Fairy Eternity’s reminder, Jiang Lianyi came to her senses as if awakening from a dream, apologized while wiping away her tears, and forced a smile.

"Sorry, you caught me in a moment of weakness. I don’t know why I can’t control my tears."

Was it because Fairy Eternity was pitiable, having awoken to find no familiar faces around her, completely forgotten by the world, or because she herself was unaware of her pitiable state and still lived carefree?

Or was there some other reason?

Jiang Lianyi wasn’t sure.

She dried her tears, took a couple of deep breaths to steady her emotions, and regained her usual grace and elegance.

"Your memory of Jiang Lianyi is very similar to me, and the details you describe don’t seem fabricated, but I really don’t remember the events you’ve mentioned, I have no personal experience to feel empathy."

"A voice in my heart always tells me to believe in you, and my husband says the same."

"I choose to believe you, but it’s a pity I have no recollection of those experiences, I’m not the phoenix genius of your memory, nor can I pretend to be that person."

"So—"

Jiang Lianyi stood up and stretched out her hand with a smile.

"May I get to know you again, my name is Jiang Lianyi."

Fairy Eternity stood up to shake hands, also smiling.

"My name is Yellow Bean."

```

The two shook hands, smiling at each other as if they were meeting for the first time yet also as if they had known each other for a long time.

Then Jiang Lianyi walked up to Lu Yang, startling him, unsure what the ancient ancestor was about to do.

Jiang Lianyi said gravely:

"Thank you for resurrecting Immortal Sister, I want to thank you on behalf of Xiao Ling and my husband!"

Having said this, Jiang Lianyi bowed deeply, alarming Lu Yang who quickly stood up saying it was unnecessary, trying to help Jiang Lianyi back to her feet.

But as Jiang Lianyi was a Semi-Immortal of high standing, how could Lu Yang shake her, despite exerting all his strength, he couldn’t even move the hem of Jiang Lianyi’s clothes.

All he could do was to watch helplessly as Jiang Lianyi bowed and then straightened up, his calves trembling.

"Can you talk about what happened before you used the Playing Dead Technique?" asked Fairy Eternity.

"There’s no harm in speaking."

The three of them sat down, and Jiang Lianyi began recalling the past.

"At that time, I was cultivating when suddenly a dizziness swept over me, as if I had forgotten something very important. I felt an emptiness inside, yet upon trying to remember, I couldn’t recall what it was that I had forgotten."

"My husband acted as my Protector. His expression changed drastically, filled with extreme anger; the rage filled his eyes. I had never seen him so angry."

"My husband revealed his true form as a Kirin, fully unleashing his pressure. The entire galaxy trembled. Being the closest to him, I felt it most acutely. That pressure was so immense that even I couldn’t bear it; it was so powerful that it made my heart palpitate."

"My husband flew out of the abode, heading northward, crossing countless galaxies, and likely stopping around the North Star."

"It was then I noticed, not only my husband, but Ying Tian, Jiuchong, and Suiyue, all three displayed anger identical to my husband’s, perhaps even more intense."

"When the four Immortals made their move, the entire universe could sense their presence. Their wrath made even my heart tremble, as if it could incinerate everything."

"Although they often sparred with one another, feeding off each other’s moves and occasionally unleashing True Fire, none of their past clashes compared to this."

"I don’t know who their opponent was, I only remember the battle lasting seven days and nights without a decisive victory."

"The level of that battle was too high, beyond my comprehension; I’m afraid I cannot describe the details."

"I’m not sure if the opponent vanished or for some other reason, but in the end, they used the power of the Dao Fruit to transform the myriad of stars into six great continents, forming a cube that sealed all living beings, including the four of them."

"My husband returned seriously injured, telling me the situation was very confusing; he asked me to quickly use the Playing Dead Technique and leave the rest to him."

"Seeing my husband so solemn, I didn’t doubt him, and used the Playing Dead Technique; I ’died’ to sleep."

"When I woke up again, I met you."

Fairy Eternity nodded, "So, this Secret Realm wasn’t created by you, but by the Qilin Immortal?"

"At the very least, I have no memories of the Secret Realm, nor of a first or second layer."

"What should we do next? Do you want to leave this place with us?"

"Let me ask, how long have I been asleep?"

"Almost three hundred thousand years. Your Phoenix Tribe has now become the number one tribe in the Demon Territory, and they revere you as an Ancient Ancestor. There are no few legends about you in the outside world."

"I’ve slept for that long?"

Jiang Lianyi was surprised. She had thought at most a few tens of thousands of years had passed. With such a long time gone by, how much had the Cultivation World changed?

"Then let’s go out and take a look."

Jiang Lianyi developed a keen interest in the outside world.

"Right, there’s something else I didn’t feel comfortable mentioning before." Jiang Lianyi thought about it, feeling uncomfortable keeping it inside.

"Go ahead."

"Can you wear something more formal?" Jiang Lianyi looked Fairy Eternity up and down, finding her style of attire too rough and crude.

"I cannot."

"Oh."
