Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

Zhong Yan was extremely certain that after binding the Yan San Dao to the system panel, the experience gained each time remained stable and unchanged!

But Yu Qingyao not only changed, but also fluctuated greatly.

His brain quickly pondered and he speculated on a possibility.

With a thought, Zhong Yan's playful side emerged and he smiled, saying, "Qingyao, I have a secret."

"I like it when you call me Yao Yao."

Zhong Yan's lips curled up. He had just said it in a moment of joy. This woman was quite childish. "Yao Yao, I have a secret."

Yu Qingyao blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "What is it?"

"It's not something I can tell just anyone."

"Can't I hear it either?"

Yu Qingyao pouted, her charming face still flushed with excitement. She wrinkled her nose and made a vow.

"I, Yu Qingyao, promise that even if my soul is scattered and someone tries to extract information from me, I will die before letting them succeed and revealing anything about you, Zhong Yan!"

Zhong Yan tapped her nose and said, "I have a mysterious technique in my cultivation that can transfer life force to someone you love."

Yu Qingyao pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, saying, "You're lying! I may not be very smart, but don't treat me like a three-year-old!"

"It's true!"

Zhong Yan stared at her seriously, then hesitated and said, "But I can only transfer life force to someone I love. I'm sure I love you, but I'm not sure about you..."

Yu Qingyao immediately pounced on him, hugging his neck and biting her lip.

Once.

Twice.

Again.

She looked at Zhong Yan with determination in her eyes and said, "Zhong Lang, I love you too..."

Then she sealed her lips, proving her love through actions.

Zhong Yan responded by using his thoughts to add more life force to Yu Qingyao.

While holding Yu Qingyao's face, lost in her affectionate gaze, Zhong Yan suddenly opened his eyes and stepped back, his face filled with doubt and shock.

"Zhong Lang!"

"I saw a line of text in my sea of consciousness!"

"You're telling the truth!"

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Did you think I would lie to you? When have I ever lied to you?"

Yu Qingyao blinked her eyes and immersed her mind in her sea of consciousness, repeatedly confirming that it wasn't an illusion. She could see her relationship with Zhong Yan as soulmates and her own lifespan...

She immediately grabbed Zhong Yan's arm and shook it, her face filled with joy and excitement. "Zhong Lang, I can do it! I love you! You said only people who love each other can transfer life force, right? I can do it!"

"... " Zhong Yan was stunned, his heart suddenly softened.

She wasn't just happy about gaining an extra year of life.

She was happy because it proved that she truly loved him.

That they loved each other.

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm very lucky."

Yu Qingyao smiled sweetly and said, "Zhong Lang, do you know when I started liking you?"

"The first time I saw you at the Lantern Festival, I thought you were exceptionally good-looking..."

She went into detail about that day.

"After the destruction of the Xue Mansion, you didn't come to find me. I felt both aggrieved and angry. Every day, all I could think about was you, and I wanted to beat you up..."

"Ping'er would come to my house every few days and talk about how great you were... You don't know, but at first, I found her annoying, disturbing my cultivation..."

"... When you mentioned the three-day deadline, I really wanted to leave, but I realized I couldn't let you go..."

Zhong Yan listened quietly, his mood changing along with her words. It turned out that the biggest obstacle in her heart was his multiple wives and concubines, and it was Jiang Ping who convinced her to accept it.

When she finished speaking, Zhong Yan couldn't help but take precautions and said, "Qingyao, you should know that with my current wealth, I could have moved to the market district long ago. The reason I stayed in Fancheng is to establish a family. I promise that you will be my only soulmate, and any other cultivators I marry in the future will only be concubines."

Yu Qingyao looked at him with affection in her eyes and smiled, saying, "Since I've decided to marry you, I've already overcome that hurdle in my heart. Moreover, now that I know your intentions, I will wholeheartedly support you."

After a pause, she blinked her eyes, shook Zhong Yan's arm, and playfully said, "Zhong Lang, what about you? When did you start liking Yao'er? Come on, confess!"

To be honest, telling you might make you feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

Zhong Yan chuckled, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart. He recalled the process of getting to know her in his mind, a mixture of truth and falsehood.

The first time she entered his sight was because Bai Siyuan mentioned that she was inquiring about him.

At that time, Yu Qingyao was only interested in him because of his identity as a cultivator.

Then he bought her information from Yang Yanqing and became very interested in her, but it was purely for the purpose of marrying her and gaining experience points.

It was the first contact during the night when he infiltrated the Yu Mansion that made him find the fierce and cunning Yu Qingyao somewhat cute, and he couldn't help but want to tease her.

But she truly entered his heart today.

Within a few short hours.

Providing a large amount of experience bonus, being quickly bound by the system, is naturally a big part of the reason.

But Zhong Yan faced his inner self and discovered that the phrase "Don't leave me, okay?" and the excitement she showed when she proved her love for him had firmly grasped his heart.

Emotions are truly mysterious.

Just in one day.

Zhong Yan confirmed that she was in his heart, and the degree of love instantly became second only to the women of the Zhong family, closely following Yan Sandao.

Yuying Qingyao listened with extreme sweetness in her heart, her pretty face filled with a happy smile. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "What does 'Gou Wang' mean?"

"Gou Wang...," Zhong Yan laughed, "I gave you a nickname to describe how timid you are, only daring to stay at home and cultivate."

Yuying Qingyao covered her mouth and giggled, but she didn't deny it either. "I know my own weight, but I have to be a little more honest. It's so dangerous outside..."

After a pause, she had a mysterious look on her face, blinked her eyes, and said, "Actually, I also gave you a nickname!"

Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at her. This expression was obviously not a good name. "Tell me!"

"I won't tell you!" Yuying Qingyao said, then buried her head in the man's chest, thinking that she could only call him "Hundan Zhong" in her heart from now on, but she also felt joyful and sweet.

But after a while.

She leaned close to Zhong Yan's ear, said the name, and burst into a fit of giggles, her delicate body trembling.

The two of them opened up to each other, and their feelings quickly heated up, becoming intimate.

...

They stayed in the cultivation room for three days.

After some testing.

While the experience surged, Zhong Yan finally confirmed the rules of the system panel after binding as Dao companions.

Mutual benefit is the way to go!

After adding one year of lifespan to Yuying Qingyao, the system rewards returned to normal and no longer fluctuated.

Water spiritual root bonus +2000.

Wood spiritual root bonus +1000.

Cultivation experience +3500.

However, Zhong Yan still couldn't determine if this value was the maximum that the system could provide.

For example, if a special technique was activated, could it still be increased?

Most likely.

Zhong Yan speculated.

Also.

There is a fundamental difference between mortals and cultivators.

He suspected that after a certain number of times, Yuying Qingyao's experience would decrease, and he would have to add lifespan to her to maintain it.

Yan Sandao would also experience this, but she is a mortal, so she would need to exchange for lifespan more frequently.

In this way, it conforms to the rules that the system has shown so far.

Upon closer examination, this system does have a strong internal logic.

Unlike the cheats in the novels of his previous life, which were chaotic and unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yan couldn't help but be shocked again.

In fact, he had made associations when he triggered the panel.

Where does this system come from and who does it come from?

Could there be some conspiracy behind it?

After all, this is not a novel, but the real world.

If cultivation reaches its peak, becoming a venerable ancestor with boundless abilities, not to mention an auxiliary cultivation panel, it would be easy to change one's fate.

"Thinking too much is useless..." Zhong Yan sighed and suppressed his stray thoughts.

Regardless, the benefits of the system to him at the moment are beyond doubt.

Even if there is something hidden within it, as a Qi Refining cultivator, he can't resist it.

It's better to take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger as soon as possible, so that he will have some ability to cope in the future.
