Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Their lips parted.

Wei Qingning’s body had already gone somewhat limp.

She leaned against Xu Lei’s chest, her fine hair disheveled, looking quite captivating.

"Benefactress, you are truly a peerless beauty."

Xu Lei couldn’t help but caress her smooth, supple skin. "To hide yourself beneath a Jade Pendant, feigning to be a man... what a true injustice. The world is deprived of a beautiful sight."

"Really?"

Wei Qingning asked, both shy and delighted, "Divine Monk, am I really considered a beauty?"

Of course, she knew she wasn’t unattractive.

It was just that she had rarely ever appeared before others as a woman.

The only exception was when she was in private with Aunt Hu.

But Aunt Hu’s praise alone was clearly not enough to fill the void in the young woman’s heart, which longed for affirmation from outsiders.

Now, hearing Xu Lei say this, her soul felt a sense of fulfillment.

"Naturally."

Xu Lei said, "A monk does not tell lies."

At this moment, Xu Lei discovered another benefit of being a Divine Monk.

’When I compliment a woman, she believes me easily.’

’Unlike with ordinary men, where they would doubt if your words were true.’

’They’d just keep asking again and again.’

But as a Divine Monk, Xu Lei easily earned her trust.

Hearing his words, the pupils in Wei Qingning’s beautiful eyes rippled with emotion.

Then, she took the initiative and removed her robes, revealing her fair, jade-like body bit by bit, until only a pink dudou remained.

Her jade-like arms were slender and fair; her jade-like legs were long and straight.

Both were incomparably exquisite.

Though the curves beneath her dudou were not exceptionally voluptuous,

they were still shapely and elegant.

There was a kind of "just right" charm to them.

"So, Divine Monk, what are you waiting for?"

She clung to Xu Lei’s arm. "Won’t you take Qingning? Let Qingning help you with your cultivation."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei swallowed hard. "Your intentions are kind, Benefactress, and this humble monk is grateful.

And your beauty is indeed soul-stirring.

However, the sun has not yet set, so it may be inconvenient.

Besides, I previously said that if you were willing to help this humble monk cultivate,

this humble monk would help you revive your family’s business and solidify your position as Patriarch.

For now, it would be better to first show you what this humble monk has for you."

"I have absolute faith in your words, Divine Monk."

But Wei Qingning embraced Xu Lei from behind and said, "It’s fine to help you cultivate first."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei said, "It’s alright. Let’s wait for the evening. This humble monk has not bathed yet.

After all, Benefactress, this is your first time experiencing the affairs between a man and a woman.

If we proceed so hastily, this humble monk fears your experience will not be pleasant.

Tonight, leave the door open for this humble monk. After I have bathed,

I will naturally seek you out and let you help me with my cultivation."

"You are so thoughtful and considerate, Divine Monk. Very well. Tonight, you can come to Qingning’s room, and we can bathe together."

Wei Qingning said with a blush, "Of course, if the Divine Monk does not mind."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei nodded. "Since the Benefactress has invited me, this humble monk will naturally and gladly go.

So be it. After dinner tonight, this humble monk will bathe with you and bestow a blessing upon your entire body."

「A few minutes later.」

Xu Lei and a once-again fully dressed Wei Qingning walked out of the room.

To be honest, Xu Lei had truly been stirred by Wei Qingning’s actions just now.

If he hadn’t already had his energy completely drained by Zhang Xiaomai in the carriage earlier today,

he really would have tasted this fair-skinned young woman, who hid her beauty beneath the Jade Pendant, right then and there.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.

He could only make excuses for now.

He would wait until he was well-rested in the evening.

’After all, I’m not an Extraordinary, just an ordinary person!

I’m already in my thirties; I can’t be with multiple women in one day without getting tired.’

「Some ten minutes later.」

The two of them had arrived at Xu Lei’s room.

Xu Lei retrieved the materials on the cloth Dyeing Technique from Earth that he had prepared in advance, organized them, and handed them to Wei Qingning.

"This technique is known as Dyeing. It allows one to imprint all sorts of different, well-arranged patterns onto cloth."

Xu Lei said, "These are some samples of cloth that this humble monk dyed himself using this technique. You can take a look.

Since you come from a Noble Family of merchants, and your family’s foundation is in the cloth trade,

what do you think would happen if this was applied to your fabrics?"

"Th-this?"

Wei Qingning looked at the samples again and again, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "If this can really be done, it will surely create a sensation throughout the entire world!

It could even revolutionize the world’s cloth trade! Acquiring wealth would be a matter of course!"

She said, excited and full of admiration, "When the Divine Monk makes a move, it is truly extraordinary!"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei put his palms together. "It is merely a trifling skill. You praise me too much, Benefactress."

"What is a small skill to the Divine Monk is a divine power to a mortal woman."

Wei Qingning then said respectfully, "In that case, Qingning will first find some trusted aides to conduct dyeing experiments.

We’ll see what the results are, and once we are familiar with the dyeing process, we can begin large-scale dyeing..."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei said, "This is your area of expertise, Benefactress. This humble monk will not interfere. You should just proceed boldly as you see fit."

"Then, Divine Monk, Qingning will take her leave."

Wei Qingning nodded, but after taking two steps, she turned back. Her beautiful eyes sparkling, she looked at Xu Lei and moved closer. "Divine Monk, can you kiss Qingning again?"

The young woman had probably grown fond of the feeling of kissing a member of the opposite sex.

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei nodded. "Of course, there is no issue. However, could you please take off the Jade Pendant first? This humble monk feels a bit strange about men."

"Ah."

Wei Qingning said, "My apologies, Qingning forgot."

Then, she removed the Jade Pendant, and her Adam’s apple vanished.

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei chanted softly, wrapped his arm around Wei Qingning’s slender waist, and once again tasted her tender lips.

「Another ten-plus minutes later.」

"Divine Monk, Qingning will get busy now."

Wei Qingning’s pretty face was flushed as she stood up to straighten her clothes. She said in a delicate voice, "Tonight, I will help the Divine Monk with his cultivation again."

"Your purity, Benefactress... are you truly going to offer it to this humble monk to aid my cultivation?"

Xu Lei couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you nervous?"

"Of course I’m nervous."

Wei Qingning said, "But when I think that it is for the Divine Monk, and that it is to help the Divine Monk cultivate—that it is a meritorious deed—then I have no fear."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei intoned, "The Benefactress has a talent for enlightenment."

「A few minutes later.」

Wei Qingning put her Jade Pendant back on and left.

Xu Lei then went to Hui Ming’s residence.

That’s right, Hui Ming was also staying at the Wei Family residence at this time.

After all, he had followed Xu Lei here.

He wanted to meet the nonexistent master Xu Lei had fabricated, the one who was supposedly going to seek Xu Lei out.

Naturally, wherever Xu Lei went, he went.

However, along the way,

Xu Lei had already been with one woman and was about to be with another.

But Hui Ming still abstained from female company.

Of course, for a possessor of Extraordinary Power, being able to persist in celibacy was completely understandable.

For Xu Lei, who had never possessed Extraordinary Power, he naturally couldn’t fathom the driving force behind it.

’Yes, I’m now certain that the one who made the tall, sturdy bandit’s head explode out of thin air that day was definitely Hui Ming!

I’ve tested both Wei Qingning and Aunt Hu multiple times.

My test for Aunt Hu was to have her act as my driver and so on.

My test for Wei Qingning, after learning about her situation—the precarious state of her business and her unstable position as Patriarch—

was to directly offer to help her revive her family’s business and solidify her position as Patriarch!

But the conditions were blatant: not only did I want a share of the future profits, but I also demanded that she use her body to help me cultivate and overcome my trial of lust.

That’s right. Initially, I didn’t actually think Wei Qingning would agree to it so easily.

I only proposed such conditions to test her.

I didn’t expect her to actually agree.

As for the reason? I’ve thought about it.

Maybe it’s the halo of being a Divine Monk.

Maybe it’s the mysterious image I created by taking credit for the miracle of the bandit’s exploding head.

Maybe it’s because I’m not bad-looking, which made this girl, who has never faced a man as her true self, fall for me instantly.

Or maybe it’s because Wei Qingning felt it aligned with her interests; after all, she would receive tangible benefits.

In any case, she agreed.

Since that was the case, I wasn’t going to refuse.

Besides, one more child means one more guarantee for my reincarnation.

Of course, it was also because Wei Qingning was so willing.

That was why I completely ruled her out from my list of potential Extraordinaries.

She needs a Jade Pendant just to disguise herself.

And she’s so willing to offer her body to help my cultivation.

A naive girl like that doesn’t seem like an Extraordinary at all.

Recalling that day, her powerlessness and panic when the bandits tried to snatch her Jade Pendant were completely genuine.

Aunt Hu was much the same.

Only Hui Ming remained.

He ages slowly!

He hasn’t eaten meat for years!

He hasn’t been near a woman for years!

Just like Wu Gui, his relationship with the Head Temple is much better than that of the other Monks!

And so on and so on.

All of this made me focus my suspicion on him.

Of course, I haven’t taken the initiative to bring the topic up with Hui Ming yet.

Today, however, I feel like directly asking him what’s going on.

For example, is Hui Ming a possessor of Extraordinary Power? Was he the one who crushed the bandit’s head that day?

If he is a possessor of Extraordinary Power, then why did he pretend to be an ordinary Monk at Longyuan Temple? Why is he so interested in the master I fabricated, even following me out here? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Why be so low-key?

Why didn’t he act directly that day when the bandits were right in front of him?

Why act in secret?

I still can’t figure any of it out.

But I have ruled out both Aunt Hu and Wei Qingning with one hundred percent certainty.

Once you eliminate the wrong answers, what remains must be the right one.

To think that an Extraordinary has been by my side for over a decade...’

Thinking of this, Xu Lei felt a bit complicated.

When Xu Lei arrived,

Hui Ming was in the middle of Martial Arts Training.

He was in the courtyard just outside the door of his room.

He was practicing his punches, dressed in thin monk’s robes.

His muscles weren’t even as big as Xu Lei’s.

And his punches weren’t particularly fast.

Both his speed and power seemed relatively average.

Xu Lei thought back and made a comparison.

He felt that their skill levels were probably about the same.

Just the level of an ordinary person who had trained for many years and could beat a few other ordinary people.

’Is Hui Ming really the possessor of Extraordinary Power?’

At this moment, looking at Hui Ming like this, Xu Lei couldn’t help but doubt his own previous judgment once again.

"Amitabha Buddha."

Of course, after Hui Ming finished his Martial Arts Training and stopped, Xu Lei still spoke up. "Martial Nephew Hui Ming, what excellent skill!

Even while traveling in the mortal world, you continue to train diligently without stopping. Your diligence, Martial Nephew, truly makes your Martial Uncle here feel ashamed."
