Chapter 18 Next Senior Sister, Long Ling'er

When Zhou Tian revealed that Liu Ruyan was pregnant, both Zi Ling and Zhao Qinglian's expressions changed.

"Senior Sister Liu got pregnant so quickly too?"

Zhao Qinglian asked incredulously.

Zi Ling leaned lazily against Zhou Tian's shoulder, her slender fingers tracing circles on his chest, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

"Ugh, Liu Ruyan is pregnant too? Looks like I'm not the only unlucky one..."

As she spoke, she raised her alluring eyes to look at Zhou Tian, ​​a sly glint in them.

"Junior brother, you have to take responsibility for our sect."

Zhou Tian chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, of course I will."

Zhou Tian's "Many Children, Many Blessings" system rewards players simply by getting married and having children.

Zhao Qinglian listened to their conversation from the side, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she didn't interrupt.

"Oh, right."

"Senior Sister Ziling, are there any of the other senior sisters who want to quickly improve their cultivation?"

Zhou Tian suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zi Ling.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling was taken aback at first, then a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

She gave a soft snort and gently pinched Zhou Tian's waist.

"You, Zhou Tian, ​​aren't the three of us enough? You're already eyeing the other junior sisters? You're truly insatiable!"

Zhou Tian smiled and took her hand.

"Senior Sister, you misunderstand. I was just thinking that with the sect facing a crisis, the great formation only has three months left to hold. If we can help more senior sisters improve their cultivation, we will have a better chance of dealing with the demonic siege."

These words sounded grand and dignified, but how could Zi Ling not know what he was thinking?

She rolled her eyes at Zhou Tian, ​​but her tone softened.

"You have a point, but the other junior sisters aren't as easy to talk to as Senior Sister Liu and I."

"Especially the third junior sister Lin Qingyu and the fourth junior sister Su Wan'er, their cultivation methods are special and they must remain chaste."

"Then, is there anything relatively easier?" Zhou Tian pressed.

Zi Ling pondered for a moment, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes: "If we're talking about something relatively easy, perhaps Eighth Junior Sister Long Ling'er could give it a try."

"Long Ling'er?" A figure appeared in Zhou Tian's mind.

Eighth Senior Sister Long Ling'er is the youngest among the nine senior sisters. She has only been a disciple for over eighty years, yet her cultivation has already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, making her talent truly astonishing.

Long Ling'er is not a pure human; she seems to possess dragon blood.

Zhou Tian remembered that when he first entered the sect, Long Ling'er was one of the few senior sisters who would not look at him with disdain.

Although she didn't really pay attention to me, at least she wasn't as cold and sarcastic as the others.

"Junior Sister Long is simple-minded and her mind is focused on cultivation and miscellaneous studies. She doesn't care much about matters between men and women."

"She has been stuck in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for several years. Recently, she seems quite anxious and often runs to the back mountain, saying that she is looking for some spiritual object to break through the bottleneck."

"If you can help her break through this barrier, perhaps..."

Zi Ling didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was already quite clear.

Zhou Tian's heart stirred.

Long Ling'er is indeed a good starting point.

"Senior sister is right."

"Then I'll go and pay a visit to Senior Sister Long."

Zhou Tian said directly.

"Do you need me to introduce you?" Zi Ling asked.

Zhou Tian shook his head: "No need. It's better for me to do this myself."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, but she didn't say anything more.

She simply leaned close to Zhou Tian's ear and whispered.

"Then you must remember, junior brother, no matter how many women you have, you can't neglect your senior sister..."

"That's natural." Zhou Tian smiled and gave her a light peck on the lips.

Zhao Qinglian, standing to the side, blushed slightly as she watched the two's intimate actions, but did not look away.

After the three of them practiced together, her sense of shame seemed to have faded considerably, and instead, she felt a strange sense of belonging.

Perhaps, this is fate.

……

The next morning, Zhou Tian left the cave and headed towards the back mountain.

According to Zi Ling, Long Ling'er has been frequently venturing into the depths of the back mountain recently, seemingly searching for some special spiritual object.

He walked deeper and deeper into the mountain path, and the spiritual energy became more and more abundant, and the vegetation became more and more lush.

After walking for about half an hour, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly came from ahead, accompanied by a woman's clear shout.

Zhou Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace.

After turning a bend in the mountain valley, the scene before him made him pause for a moment.

In a wide-open space, there stood a girl wearing a light blue dress.

At this moment, the girl is holding a silver longsword and fighting fiercely with a crimson-red beast that resembles a tiger.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face and fair skin. What attracted the most attention was the slightly raised dragon horns on her forehead.

At this moment, Long Ling'er was staring intently at the demonic beast in front of her.

It was none other than Eighth Senior Sister Long Ling'er.

Zhou Tian also recognized the demonic beast she was facing.

This is a Crimson Flame Tiger, a second-tier demonic beast, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It is a demonic beast that is specially kept in the back mountain.

At this moment, Long Ling'er was clearly at a disadvantage.

Her light blue dress was torn in several places, revealing her fair skin underneath. Fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, and her breathing was somewhat rapid.

In contrast, the Crimson Flame Tiger, despite having several wounds, still possessed a fierce aura, continuously spewing crimson flames from its mouth, forcing Long Ling'er to retreat repeatedly.

"roar!"

With a roar, the Crimson Tiger pounced on Long Ling'er, its sharp claws aimed straight for her throat.

Long Ling'er's expression changed, and she hurriedly swung her short blade to block.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Long Ling'er was so shocked that she staggered back several steps, her arm went numb, and her short blade almost slipped from her hand.

The Crimson Tiger, having gained the upper hand, pounced again.

Seeing that Long Ling'er was about to be injured, Zhou Tian no longer hesitated and appeared in front of her in a flash.

"Be careful, senior sister."

He let out a low shout, his right hand forming a sword shape with his fingers together, and a condensed purple sword aura shot out, accurately striking the Crimson Flame Tiger's brow.

"puff!"

The sword energy pierced the flesh, abruptly halting the Crimson Flame Tiger's forward charge. It let out a mournful howl, its massive body crashing to the ground, twitching a few times before falling silent.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Long Ling'er stared blankly at the back of the figure blocking her way, then looked at the dead Crimson Flame Tiger on the ground, unable to react for a moment.

"Senior Sister Long, are you alright?" Zhou Tian turned around and looked at Long Ling'er.

Long Ling'er then recognized the person who had arrived, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Zhou... Junior Brother Zhou Tian? It's you?"

She looked Zhou Tian up and down, her eyes filled with disbelief: "You... your cultivation level..."

The aura that Zhou Tian displayed when he made his move just now clearly indicated that he was already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

How is that possible?

She remembered clearly that just a few months ago Zhou Tian was only at the third level of Qi Refining, how did he suddenly become a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Zhou Tian smiled slightly: "I've had some lucky encounters, so my cultivation has improved rather quickly. But Senior Sister, why did you come to the depths of the back mountain alone? There are many demonic beasts here; it's too dangerous."
