Chapter 2045 - 2048: No Longer the Number One Parkour Beauty

As dawn broke, Shen Qiang woke up and opened his eyes, only to see the bashfully glancing Medical University's campus belle, Xiaoxia, gazing at him with affectionate eyes. Her pure and beautiful face turned bashful as soon as she realized Shen Qiang was awake, instinctively avoiding his gaze.Seeing her like this, Shen Qiang smiled, not only holding her tighter but also gently brushing aside the strands of hair falling on her forehead, softly asked, "Why not sleep a little more?"

Xiaoxia dared not look at Shen Qiang and spoke in a barely audible voice, "I'm used to getting up early."

Shen Qiang laughed, saying, "Still practicing parkour every day? Of course, you're the number one beauty in the parkour world, how could you get by without training diligently?"

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Xiaoxia's delicate body trembled, then she fell silent, her sudden mood shift was palpable to Shen Qiang, who immediately sensed she seemed to have something on her mind.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qiang asked curiously.

Xiaoxia was startled, then forced a somewhat fake smile and said, "Nothing, I'm fine. But you, you're busy every day, worn out for the Mountain Villa, aren't you?"

Looking at Xiaoxia, with her pure and beautiful, girl-next-door charm, Shen Qiang slightly frowned.

He instinctively realized that she was lying.

And intentionally shifting the topic.

However, she wasn't like Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei's calamity-level enchantress; her somewhat unnatural demeanor had deeply betrayed her.

Holding her fragrant shoulder, Shen Qiang smiled at her and said, "Thank you for understanding my struggle for Heshenghe, but meanwhile, I also hope you can understand that my dedication to Heshenghe is because a strong Heshenghe can make our lives prosperous and stable. So, if you have something weighing on your mind, you can talk to me about it because I will do my utmost to help you, and even if I can't, at least I can worry along with you."

Hearing this, Xiaoxia's beautiful eyes filled with joy, she looked at Shen Qiang happily, her rosy lips curving into a smile.

Yet evidently, she was still hesitating, she said uncertainly, "It's all just minor stuff, no need to trouble you about them. Talking to you about such things might make the sisters laugh at my childishness."

Shen Qiang was stunned, then burst into laughter, "You little demon, are you playing coy with me? That's too juvenile. Just tell me your worries, if it's the kind of melancholy about composing new verses, I'll hand you over to a psychologist, if it's truly a problem needing solving, I'll help you with all my power."

Looking at Shen Qiang's smile, Xiaoxia's pretty face blushed instantly, feigning anger, "Wicked man, how am I being coy? Life's harsh enough, can't you be less direct with your words?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "I have plenty of indirect words, but those are reserved for outside against opponents. At home, no guessing, no doubting, directly express your thoughts, simplifying complex issues is the best way to solve them."

Xiaoxia's pretty face stayed red, pouting as she looked at Shen Qiang, after a long while, she said playfully, "This is a secret, you have to promise not to tell anyone, otherwise I wouldn't dare face anyone."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang nodded without hesitation, "Alright, I promise you, rest assured, I keep my word, and can win people over with my moral character!"

Getting Shen Qiang's promise, Xiaoxia took a deep breath, then puffed out her cheeks slowly, that vibrant youthful appearance seemed inexplicably adorable.

"I've stopped parkour."

After a moment of silence, as soon as Xiaoxia spoke, Shen Qiang was astounded.

"Stopped parkour?"

Shen Qiang was infinitely puzzled, in fact, when he first met Xiaoxia, it was because of parkour. Shen Qiang still remembered the ponytail-wearing, agile parkour beauty number one, her in tight sports pants was nothing short of stunning.

"Exercise can make people feel happy, and besides, you're the number one beauty in the parkour world. For those young people who love parkour to acknowledge you, just being pretty isn't enough."

Looking at Xiaoxia's somewhat dim eyes, Shen Qiang turned the conversation, smiling, "Could it be now that you've become the campus belle of Medical University, you've become lazy? Even giving up the sport you loved the most?"

Hearing this, Xiaoxia sighed softly, then leaned on Shen Qiang's shoulder saying gently, "Actually, I've always loved parkour, still do. And before being with you, I always took pride in my parkour skills."

She slightly raised her head, staring with grievance beneath her elongated eyelashes at Shen Qiang, "But after being with you, I realized that in this world, there's not only Qinggong but immortals who can fly and travel invisibly. So the things I did before, the actions that I was smug about, seemed like I was a clown."

"Every day I wonder, back then, might immortals have seen what I did, would they laugh at me…"

"Stop saying that." Shen Qiang interrupted, "Although I haven't truly walked in your shoes, I understand your current mindset, you think parkour is silly, in front of demons and cultivators of Heshenghe, you are making a fool of yourself, it makes you not want to do parkour anymore, right?"

"Hmm, it feels so embarrassing." Xiaoxia said.

Shen Qiang smiled, "There's nothing you can do about it, you must understand, in life, there are many of such things. You might think a hundred thousand-yuan car is nice enough, but in the eyes of someone used to luxury cars, it's laughable."

"You think I'm strong, perhaps extraordinarily so, but in the eyes of true powerhouses, I might just be a harmless, babbling toddler. Such things everyone encounters, you eat braised pork at noon and think it's great, others might say it's too greasy, they have seafood."

"So different perceptions, life environments, skills, ways and methods of doing things will not be the same. No one is truly omnipotent, for example, me, I'm reputed in the Cultivation World, cultivators might show me respect everywhere, but if I go to certain government departments, I still have to queue, no special treatment, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Xiaoxia sighed, "I know, I'm just an ordinary person, I shouldn't be worrying about how immortals perceive me, but it's just… I don't know how to say it, just thinking about parkour makes me inexplicably think of immortals, and then feel utterly foolish, ludicrous to an extreme."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang couldn't help but hold her tighter, smiling, "Alright, the parkour beauty number one being struck down by the flying cultivators' confidence, that's a big issue. So I've decided, I'll make you into one of those flying immortals."

"Really?" Xiaoxia immediately sat up, her fragrant shoulders perfectly round, her complexion snow-white.

"I keep my word, and win people over with my moral character!" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So now show some appreciation for your future."

Hearing this, Xiaoxia's pretty face instantly flushed, she threw Shen Qiang a bashful glance, then leaned forward, her face fiery as she teased softly, "You wicked man, I'll let you have your way then."
