The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 79: Xiaochun, We Believe You

Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened as his mind filled with thoughts of 3,000 spirit stones …. He looked at Hou Xiaomei, his eyes shining, and suddenly felt a desire to run, hugged her, gave her three thousand thumbs and told her. "Good work!"

When the other disciples on the auction floor heard that an extremely high price was coming out of Hou Xiaomei's mouth, the commotion instantly stopped, and jaws dropped. They looked up to find Hou Xiaomei standing there, hands on her hips, her chest heaving up and down, looking very fair and delicate. She was beautiful, but had a proud expression on her face, and looked like pepper.

Raising his chin, he looked at Zhou Xinqi with a gaze that said, I am from the Hou Clan, and I am not afraid of anyone! Plus, I'm rich!

The overall effect does not rule out, but makes it seem very funny.

Quite a number of smiling people saw the scene, whereas others were even more shocked than before.

"3,100 spirit stones!" Zhou Xinqi said coldly, her expression growing a little colder.

"That little turtle is very important to me!" Said Hou Xiaomei. "I don't care how expensive it is, whatever pill it makes must be mine. Hmph! 4,000 spirit stones! I'm from the Hou Clan, and I have a lot of money to go around! " He especially emphasized the last sentence. Next to him, Hou Yunfei lowered his head in embarrassment. He was not sure why his younger sister worshipped the little turtle with such frenzied devotion….

Zhou Xinqi's fans couldn't watch this take place, and many of them began to shout that only a loser would spend so much money on a tier-2 spirit medicine.

Hou Xiaomei was not too happy to hear such things. Poking out his chest and putting his hands on his hips, he barked, "I have a lot of spirit stones, so you can bite me!"

As Bai Xiaochun watched the incident, he could not help but think that he had made the right decision to pull Hou Xiaomei out of the crooked path and towards the path of truth.

Zhou Xinqi frowned. Unfortunately, he did not have many spirit stones, and finally, he had no choice but to give up.

Hou Xiaomei was happy that Zhou Xinqi did not make any more bids. The truth was that he did not have as many spirit stones as he implied. He had only said that in front of so many people in the hope that it would force the patriarch of his clan to accommodate him.

In the end, Hou Xiaomei was very happy to have won his spirit-enhanced triple medicinal pill.

Bai Xiaochun was also very pleased. Looking at Hou Xiaomei in awe, he cleared his throat. In her opinion, given how much she admired him, it was inappropriate not to tell him about his true identity.

After reaching this conclusion, and seeing that the first day of the auction was about to end, he decided that now was the time to come out and declare his identity to the public.

Meanwhile, backstage, the various patriarchs from the clan of cultivators gathered, having been assigned to stand guard at the auction. One of them was a middle-aged man, who was currently coughing dryly as he looked around wryly at his fellow ancestors.

"Yeah ..my granddaughter is really stubborn.I'm afraid she's embarrassing herself in front of you all. " With that, he bitterly produced a large amount of spirit stones that he had delayed to the side.

"The innocent girl!" All the other ancestors laughed well.

The first day of the auction had ended, and although there were more days to come, Bai Xiaochun had already sold his medicinal pills, so he did not plan to return. He walked to the entrance of the auction and stood there watching everyone exit the auction house.

Almost all of them excitedly discussed the matter of the Violet Qi Spirit Ascension Pill.

Finally, Bai Xiaochun looked at Zhou Xinqi. He wanted to go encourage her not to feel discouraged, but as soon as she took a step forward to head towards him, she looked up and saw him coming. Without another word, he turned into a beam of light that shot into the distance.

Bai Xiaochun stopped on the spot, feeling somewhat depressed. But then he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Big brother Xiaochun!" It was Hou Xiaomei, who came happily through the crowd, followed by Hou Yunfei, who was also smiling.

Bai Xiaochun looked away from Zhou Xinqi and gave Hou Xiaomei a smile of praise. Looking very similar to the members of the senior generation, he patted his head.

"Hey, holy sister.I must say, you did a good job. The way you won the last item in the auction is very domineering! "

Hou Xiaomei's face flushed. Seemingly recalling something all of a sudden, he took out the Violet Qi Spirit Ascension Pill.

"Big brother Xiaochun, look! This medicinal pill was made by a small turtle. Do you like it? Here, take. Didn't you say earlier that you also like little turtles? I bought this pill just for you! " Anyone who sees the expression on his face will be moved. Pilling out pills to Bai Xiaochun, he looked at him with anticipation, as if he was the only thing in the world.

When Hou Yunfei saw this, his gaze softened, and he smiled, but did not say anything.

Bai Xiaochun's jaw fell. He could never imagine that Hou Xiaomei's goal in winning the medicinal pill was to give it to him. That's very moving. Seeing that they were surrounded by some people, he took a deep breath and put a serious expression on his face.

With eyes full of determination, he clasped his hands behind his back like a powerful hero, a posture he had long been familiar with adoption.

"Xiaomei," he said, "i need to reveal a very big secret!"

Hou Xiaomei looked surprised, as did Hou Yunfei.

Bai Xiaochun cleared his throat loudly, raised his chin, and swung his sleeves.

"I, Bai Xiaochun, am he the one who surprises ghosts and gods, the famous, mysterious and unfathomable ... the great and mighty Lord Turtle !!" He then threw his head back and laughed out loud. The words he had just spoken had been locked away for too long inside him, and it felt good to say them out in the open, especially considering he was saying them to his most adoring person, Hou Xiaomei, in front of so many spectators.

Most importantly, it was inappropriate to allow the person who adored him the most powerful to remain in the dark, especially when his idol was standing right in front of him! Bai Xiaochun stared at the clouds above, looking extremely lonely. However, his ears twitched slightly as he waited to hear the shocked reactions of Hou Xiaomei and the rest of the crowd.

He had already formulated the words he would use to respond to the upcoming commotion.

However, after a while had passed, no sound was heard. Everything quiet. Surprised, Bai Xiaochun could not help but look back from the clouds towards Hou Xiaomei and Hou Yunfei.

Hou Xiaomei stood there with wide eyes, and Hou Yunfei was also startled. As they stared at Bai Xiaochun, the surrounding disciples looked on with strange expressions on their faces.

“The little turtle does not care about worldly affairs,” said someone, “like clouds floating in the sky. Now that Sect Uncle Bai calls himself a little turtle? Yeah right…. Let's go."

An unsightly expression could be seen on Bai Xiaochun's face, and he took a deep breath to make an explanation.

"Xiaochun, are you okay?" Hou Yunfei asked. Worried, he patted Bai Xiaochun on the head.

"I'm really a little turtle!" Bai Xiaochun said anxiously.

"Oh?" Hou Yunfei replied, a strange expression on his face. He quickly nodded. "certainly certainly. You are a little turtle …. "

At this point, Hou Xiaomei looked at Big Xiaochun's elder brother and softly said, "Sister Xiaochun, you told me earlier that the little turtle was like a cloud in the sky, like a turtle, a person who does not care at all about worldly matters …. Actually, in my heart, you are as important as him. You don't have to pretend to be him …. "

"But I'm really–"

Before he could finish speaking, Hou Yunfei looked at him dejectedly and clasped his arms. "Xiaochun, we believe in you!"

Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened. "I'm really—"

Before he could finish, Hou Yunfei's expression turned more serious. "Xiaochun. We really believe you! "

"I–" Bai Xiaochun's eyes began to glaze over as a feeling of discomfort filled him. No matter how he tried to explain the situation, it was useless. Everything was very different from what he had imagined. Feeling sad, he turned around slowly and walked away, somehow returning to the sect.

Back in his courtyard, he stared blankly at the sky, an expression of sadness on his face.

"But I really am Lord Turtle ..." he muttered, feeling very vilified. He had long dreamed about proclaiming his identity in public, but now the dream was a mess.

After a while, he came to the conclusion that the problem lay in the fact that he had worked hard for many years to inflate the image of the little turtle in the minds of the people …. To them, the little turtle was a truly proud and outstanding individual.

More precisely, thanks to the relentless efforts of Hou Xiaomei, the little turtle had turned into a god …

After a while, Bai Xiaochun reluctantly went to look for Xu Baocai to explain the truth. After which, Xu Baocai looked at him blankly for a moment .. and then nodded repeatedly and said that he trusted him.

Bai Xiaochun frowned miserably all the way back to his courtyard, where he once again stood there feeling empty.

A few days later, Sun Chen came to visit. Bai Xiaochun was immediately excited. Suddenly, he had hope, hoping that Sun Chen would remember who had delivered the medicinal pills for auction.

However, before he could even say anything, Sun Chen handed over the spirit stone, then clasped his hands and bowed deeply. A serious expression, he said, "Brother Bai, I'm not sure who the Chosen One chose to make the pill. The Patriarch of the Sun Clan was quite surprised by this matter. We know that the only way to contact the Chosen One is through you, Brother Bai. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the one to give the medicinal pill.

"Brother Bai, can you break the news to him that the Sun Clan hopes to have a long friendship with him? If he needs help selling medicinal pills in the future, we will use all our strength to help him!

“Other thing, Brother Bai. Can you pass on the news to the Chosen One that I understand he is not seeking fame and fortune, and deliberately avoids a huge commotion? He was like a cloud in the sky, seeking perfection in the Dao of medicine. A person like him would definitely reach incredible heights in the future. Therefore, our Sun Clan will be happy to handle all matters relating to the outside world for him. ” Sun Chen clasped his hands and bowed once more. When he looked up, he noticed that Bai Xiaochun's expression was completely blank. When that expression did not change, Sun Chen once again clasped his hands, bowed, and then left.

Inwardly, he sighed as he thought about how high Bai Xiaochun's position in the Spirit Stream Sect was, and how the mysterious and unfathomable figure that no one else knew, actually related to him.

From the very beginning, he had never even considered that Bai Xiaochun might actually be a small turtle. Their personalities are too different. After all, it was not only the Spirit Sect's stream disciples who knew about the little turtle. The cultivator clan outside was also aware of it. They had all conducted their own investigations, and came to the same conclusion as Zhou Xinqi.

By the time Bai Xiaochun regained his composure, the moon was hanging high in the sky. Sighing deeply, he jumped onto the bamboo fence surrounding his courtyard. Clasping his hands behind his back, he stared at the starry sky, his long black hair swaying in the wind and his robe rustling.

“I never imagined that deep inside me was the desire to avoid worldly things.I was like a cloud floating in the sky. Ai. I shouldn't hide things very well. Sometimes, being superior is really lonely. ” When he stood there in the moonlight, he flicked his sleeve, and really looked like a lonely hero.
