LIGHTNOVELONLINE Bai Yunxi
As the sun went down, a pair of immortals quietly looked towards the horizon in the sky. Lin Feng left, from the small borderland to the centre of vast East Continent.
Bai Yunxi was relieved at first, but after Lin Feng walked into unknowns, the corners of her eyes grew moist, and she leaned on Ji Changju's shoulder subconsciously, watching her son gradually disappear.
"Ah!" Perhaps Bai Yunxi has forgotten that she was at a high altitude. So when she looked down involuntarily and saw the buildings looking like columns of ants, she panicked again and hugged Ji Changju's old waist strongly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ji Changju patted Bai Yunxi's shoulder lightly while inhaling the faint fragrance wafting out of her body, inwardly delighted by the turn of events.
After landing, Bai Yunxi still had some heart palpitations. After quietly calming down, she noticed that she was still holding Ji Changju tightly.
When she looked up, she saw that the other party was also looking at her with a meaningful smile. Her pretty face flushed instantly. She let go of him, twisted her watery waist, ran back to her room, and closed the door tightly!
All in one swift motion!
"Hu...hu...hu, shame on you, he is Feng'er's friend, Bai Yunxi, ah Bai Yunxi..."
Back in the room, Bai Yunxi was flustered and embarrassed and she was biting her rosy lips lightly. But don't know why, she suddenly turned around and looked through the crack of the door, only to find that the yard was empty. Although she was relieved, there was some inexplicable emptiness.
Little did she know that Ji Changju observed her every move, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly before he stopped observing her.
"Ding, the mother of the protagonist has a budding feeling towards the host. The reward is 0,000 Gold Coins, and the cultivation base is increased by a margin."
'Sidekick system? Why don't you call yourself Woman Robbing system or something? By the way, what do you mean by a margin?'
"Ding! It's just the change in plot made isn't enough to raise cultivation by one whole stage."
'Hey, I finally avoided the fate of being an unpaid thug, but according to numerous novels I have read in my lifetime, he will unquestionably dominate the entire Eastern Continent in the future, and he will become an Immortal in dozens or hundreds of years.'
'How can I contend against him? With my talent and qualification, if I follow the steps of cultivation step by step, I don't know if I can reach such anywhere near peak in thousands of years.'
'Should I kill the protagonist? No, if I do that, the system won't reward me. Actually, if I kill protagonist, the system will become completely useless. Remember it's a Sidekick system, not a Counterattack system.'
'However even if I conquer Bai Yunzi, I can only squeeze so much Gold Coins and cultivation out of her.'
'Additionally, suppose I do conquer Bai Yunxi, when Lin Feng returns, won't he ruin me if I am weaker.'
'I really have to think things through.'
…
A few days later, a golden chariot flew away from the Tianshan Sect. There was a man and a woman sitting on the chariot.
It was Ji Changju and Bai Yunxi.
Since the chariot didn't fly too high, people walking on the ground looked upward, and some envious people commented from time to time.
"Who is so high-profile? Spraying dog food wherever they are passing."
"Shh! You don't want to live anymore? This golden chariot is exclusive to the Ji family. If they hear you, are you not afraid that the guards will slap you to death."
"Ji family...?"
"Hillbilly! That's where the second genius of Lu Kingdom came from. Probably the man sitting in the golden chariot is Ji Changju and the mature beauty is his girlfriend."
"Such beauty, rich people really do know how to play, heh…"
The discussion below also entered the ears of the two of them. Ji Changju was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything, but Bai Yunxi was a little embarrassed, and her beautiful face was slightly red.
With Ji Changju's realm, it was useless to stay in the Tianshan Sect. So following a discussion with the old Sect Master, he was appointed as an honorary elder, thus allowing him to leave the sect.
He decided to return to the Ji family.
Bai Yunxi was entrusted to Ji Changju by Lin Feng, and Ji Changju had some arrangements for her in his heart, so of course he took her back with him.
As for the reason of leaving the sect—"Lin Feng has already left, it is not very safe for you to return to the Lin family, and it is not suitable to stay alone in the Tianshan Sect either. So just follow me to Ji Family."
After some persuasion, he quickly convinced her.
"Madam, in order not to reveal your identity and make it easier to do things, how about I call you Miss Bai in the future?" Ji Changju broke the silence and looked sideways.
"This, is this appropriate?" Albeit a widow, she was a married woman, so she felt a bit strange in her heart when Ji Changju called her like people used to do in her younger and unmarried days.
"It's not inappropriate. Brother Feng is seven years younger than me, and you are only nine years older than me. And actually I always felt weird calling you aunt..."
"Okay then, if it can make things easier for you then you can call me Miss Bai."
"Just get used to it slowly. In the world of immortals, as long as you have a little cultivation, you can be hundreds or thousands of years old. Some of my cousins are dozens of years older than you. It is reasonable to say that it is not too much for me to call you sister."
Ji Changju's smiling face eased the atmosphere. Perhaps because Lin Feng was away, Bai Yunxi's psychological burden also dissipated a lot.
"You should still call me Miss Bai. Sister is too awkward. Besides, my cultivation is very low."
"Don't worry Miss Bai, I'm sure you will reach Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core Realm."
"Changju, do you really think I can establish a foundation?" Bai Yunxi looked at Ji Changju expectantly. She didn't desperately want to change her fate, but Lin Feng have used so many resources on her yet she couldn't build a foundation. This caused her to feel a little incompetent.
Looking at those watery eyes, a fire couldn't help but lit within Ji Changju's heart, and he subconsciously grabbed Bai Yunxi's hand and said, "Miss Bai, don't worry, when I return to Ji's house, I will definitely find a way for you to establish a foundation, even if I can't help you immediately, I don't believe there are no other ways!"
Ji Changju's actions surprised Bai Yunxi. Her hand was suddenly tightly held by the other party, and she couldn't pull it out even after a couple of tries. However, looking at Ji Changju's eyes, she didn't saw any evil thoughts, so she didn't struggle fiercely.
"Thank you, Changju, it's a blessing for Lin family and Feng'er to make friends with you."
"Don't say that. It's also my honour to be able to meet someone like Miss Bai."
The two looked at each other, and their hands were still enjoined, which made Bai Yunxi a little ashamed. She couldn't help but point out: "Changju, your hand..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking of comforting you, I didn't mean anything else." Ji Changju let go of his hand and responded with a little self blame in his tone.
"It okay, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm already a woman with child, so it doesn't matter, but if others see you with someone like me, it may affect your reputation."
"Miss Bai, you don't have to be so serious. Besides, where do you look like someone who has given birth to a child? Did you heard? Someone said that we are a couple just now, ahem."
"You!" Bai Yunxi was left stunned after hearing his words. If there wasn't a sincere look in Ji Changju's eyes, she would have thought that the he was teasing her.
The embarrassed Bai Yunxi turned her head to the side and stopped talking. Although any women would love to listen to flattering words, the other party was her son's brother. This was too… awkward and as someone who have never faced this situation, she was a little overwhelmed.
After some time however, Bai Yunxi's temperament quickly returned into a model mother.
Ji Changju was stunned when he saw it. If there was no system prompt a moment ago, he would have thought that his words didn't made any waves within her heart.
