Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"My husband..."

Xiao Ninger gently rested her head on Ji Boying's shoulder and whispered,

"Ninger has been with her husband for so long, working hard every day, but... Ninger's stomach still shows no signs of movement."

"Is Ninger useless?"

As she said this, tears welled up in Xiao Ninger's eyes.

Her husband treated her so well, but she couldn't even give him a child...

"What nonsense are you talking about, Ninger!"

Ji Boying reached out and pulled Xiao Ninger into his embrace, pretending to be angry.

"I won't allow Ninger to speak ill of herself!"

"But..."

"There's no 'but'."

Xiao Ninger wanted to say something more, but Ji Boying interrupted her.

"In my eyes, Ninger is the best!"

Ji Boying held his beloved gently and continued,

"And besides, Ninger doesn't need to worry about this matter. I don't plan on having children yet."

"The world outside is in turmoil. It wouldn't be a good thing to have a child at this time."

"Let's wait until the world settles down, or until both of us become strong enough to protect ourselves, then we can consider having a child."

"My husband..."

Upon hearing Ji Boying's words, Xiao Ninger felt relieved.

She gently rubbed against Ji Boying's embrace, and a few traces of happiness appeared on her previously sorrowful face.

Ji Boying looked at the woman in his arms, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Then he carried her into the room, intending to make a bowl of rice porridge to comfort her wounded heart.

Half an hour later...

Although the autumn wind was bleak, the room was filled with the warmth of spring.

Ji Boying leaned lightly against the edge of the bed, gently playing with his lover's hair.

The almost transparent gauze draped over Xiao Ninger's body added a unique charm to her in the hazy light.

Especially the trickling stream in the forest, shrouded in a thin mist, created a different kind of scenery.

Perhaps because her emotional barrier had been lifted, Xiao Ninger's singing during this exchange was extremely melodious.

Her soft singing entered Ji Boying's ears, touching his heart with every word.

It was like the sound of a pipa playing, with pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Listening to it, Ji Boying couldn't help but feel a sense of attachment, as if he didn't want to leave this moment.

However...

Just as Ji Boying was about to tease his lover again, the guest token placed on the table suddenly emitted a faint light.

Ji Boying was slightly taken aback, lightly tapping Xiao Ninger's forehead, then picked up his clothes and walked towards the token.

"Mr. Ji, please come to the trading house immediately!"

As soon as he picked up the token, he heard the voice of Qiuyu coming from it.

Ji Boying furrowed his brows slightly.

What could be so urgent at the trading house at this time?

Was there another emergency?

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Boying turned back to his wife and said,

"Ninger, there's an urgent matter at the trading house. I need to go there now."

"You stay at home and rest."

"Yes, my husband..."

Ji Boying nodded, changed his clothes, and walked outside.

——

It took about half an hour.

Ji Boying had just arrived at the commercial firm when he was led by Qiu Yu to the conference hall on the top floor.

And before him, there were already four guest officials waiting inside.

And these four guest officials were not unfamiliar to Ji Boying. They were the four people whose names were mentioned by Yun Qianshan that day.

Ji Boying nodded to the few people and then found a place to sit.

Just like that, after waiting for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Yun Qianshan hurriedly walked in.

"The reason for summoning the five guest officials this time is to attend the Nascent Soul ceremony of the eighth elder of the Crimson Flame Sect."

"Attend the ceremony? Now?"

Guest official Wu Guan asked with some confusion, "Didn't Manager Yun say that he would notify us in advance? Why is it so sudden?"

"That is the public statement, meant to confuse others."

Yun Qianshan waved his hand and casually said.

Public statement?

And it's meant to confuse others?

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened.

An ominous feeling instantly surged up.

Even Ji Boying, after hearing Yun Qianshan's words, his face also darkened.

"Don't misunderstand, everyone."

Seemingly knowing what everyone was thinking, Yun Qianshan quickly explained, "This time, not only our commercial firm is attending the ceremony, but also many righteous sects, as well as demonic cultivators."

"But the Crimson Flame Sect only invited our commercial firm and righteous cultivators, not the demonic cultivators."

"Our commercial firm is confusing others to cover up the true time of the ceremony."

"Now that the relationship between the righteous and demonic cultivators is delicate, covering up the time of the ceremony is to prevent a situation where both sides engage in a full-scale battle."

"This way, we can avoid being affected and not put ourselves in danger."

"I see..."

The guest officials suddenly realized upon hearing this.

"Alright, it's about time. Let's set off quickly!"

Seeing that everyone had completely let go of their worries, Yun Qianshan chuckled lightly and then led the guest officials out of the conference hall.

Ji Boying followed behind everyone, deeply looking at Yun Qianshan's back.

If he guessed correctly, Yun Qianshan's words just now were somewhat reserved.

The true purpose of the commercial firm covering up the time of the ceremony was probably not to avoid a conflict between the righteous and demonic cultivators, but... there was another plot.

As for what the commercial firm's true intentions were... Although Ji Boying was a little curious, he didn't want to bother anymore since he was also a guest official of the commercial firm.

After leaving the commercial firm, Ji Boying and the other four people followed Yun Qianshan onto a carriage.

It wasn't until they were nearly a hundred miles away from Fulong City that Yun Qianshan took out a flying artifact from his storage ring, which looked like an ordinary ferry, and replaced the previous carriage.

The ferry was not small and could accommodate more than ten people.

And it was extremely fast!

Looking at the scenery around them retreating at a high speed, it should be similar to the high-speed trains in his previous life.

Ji Boying stood at the bow of the ferry, listening to the whistling wind in his ears, and couldn't help but marvel.

He had been curious before why the scientific civilization of humanity in the cultivation world had not made any progress after so many years.

Now it seemed...

There was simply no need for that!

Spirit lamps were used for lighting at night, with adjustable brightness.

Tokens were used for long-distance communication. As long as both parties established a connection, they could communicate no matter how far apart they were.

Magical treasures were used for transportation, consuming only a piece of low-grade spirit stone for every hundred kilometers, and the speed was not slow at all.

As for entertainment...

Wasn't the Phoenix Pavilion more advanced and exciting than the technology and live broadcasts on mobile phones?

As his thoughts wandered, the ferry suddenly passed through a barrier, and in the next moment... the surrounding environment changed drastically.

Twelve immortal mountains soared into the sky, surrounded by ethereal clouds and mist. Occasionally, a gust of wind would stir up the clouds, like waves in the vast sea.

On the mountaintops, there were magnificent palaces and pavilions, shining with brilliant radiance. Occasionally, disciples would ride cranes, perfectly interpreting the beauty of the immortal realm.

This...

Was the top-notch righteous sect in Dongcang Xuanzhou—the Crimson Flame Sect!
