Bai Yu sighed in relief at finally managing to get the troublesome plant to listen to him. He cleared his throat, stating in a low voice. "Listen now, I"m going to tell you something very important and you must keep it a secret…"
Their conversation progressed with utmost secrecy.
Back at the entrance, just as Li Meirong was about to follow them, she felt Feng Huang"s heavy foot gently tapping her shoulder.
"They probably need a moment alone. Trust me, I know all about guys! They bicker and fight, and then a moment later become best buddies." Feng Huang enthusiastically shared her pearls of wisdom.
Glancing back at the turtle, Li Meirong"s tone was tinged with agitation. "I don"t think that will be the case with them." Nevertheless, she reluctantly followed Feng Huang"s advise, hoping that Chou and s...o...b..ll would get along.
"It will be alright, you"ll see." Feng Huang rea.s.sured Li Meirong. They began to make their way towards the library, chatting along the way.
As Li Meirong slowly calmed down and considered Feng Huang"s words, she scrunched up her brows and teased the Demoness with a small smile playing on her lips. "I didn"t know you"re so popular!"
Feng Huang lifted her nose high up in the air and harrumphed. "Girl, I can teach you a thing or two. I"ve had demons chasing me everywhere! Of course, I didn"t allow their pestering to deter me from cultivating! It"s not as though I can copulate with anyone other than a turtle before I reach my human form, anyway... " She gave Li Meirong a probing look and said, "You"re not so bad looking, I"m sure you can find yourself a simple male for your womanly needs. It"ll be best to attach yourself to someone who"s not too powerful. Those kinds of men will step all over you! So tell me, what sort of male interests you?"
Li Meirong"s cheeks heated up to a rosy pink shade. She facepalmed herself with regret. "I should never have tried to make fun of Feng Huang. How the h.e.l.l do I escape this awkward "girl talk" with a turtle?!"
A moment later, Li Meirong said, "You can say I"m in a relations.h.i.+p with someone already. Although, it"s not an official one… and he"s not that strong, so I don"t need any advise." She paused and glanced forward, relieved at finally reaching their destination.
"Ahem, I want to focus on cultivation techniques that can increase my powers quickly. What do you think I should read?" Li Meirong diverted the conversation to another subject as they pa.s.sed between rows of bookshelves in the library.
Actually, Li Meirong truly did plan on searching for special techniques to hasten her cultivation. Now that she was enrolled in a martial arts tournament. She"d need any help she could get to level up as soon as possible.
Feng Huang let out a low sinister chuckle. "Heh, you think I didn"t notice your attempt to sidetrack me? It only heightens my desire to pry the information out of you! Humph, I"ll show you..."
The Turtle Demoness had already familiarized herself with the dimension"s library. Without even needing to search, her round body directly glided towards the scroll she sought and clamped her reptilian mouth over it. Then, she spun around and delivered it to Li Meirong.
"Well, if you don"t want to talk about the subject, far be it from me to press you. Here, this scroll is just what you"re looking for!" Dropping the scroll in Li Meirong"s palms, Feng Huang smiled mischievously after saying her piece.
Li Meirong grinned back, glad to focus on what mattered. She cast her eyes downwards to the familiar characters written at the beginning of the scroll, muttering the t.i.tle softly to herself.
"Dual cultivation, how to practice safely..."
