Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 37: Relationship

"Alright, we were just about to prepare thoroughly as well." Hearing Fang Hong agree, Su Shan’s Face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile.

With Fang Hong joining, she wouldn’t need to invite anyone else. Fang Hong’s strength was indeed trustworthy.

"Uh, where do you live now?" Su Shan suddenly asked again, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"I live in the Warm Inn, not far from here," Fang Hong replied truthfully.

"Good, then we’ll stay at the Warm Inn too." Su Shan smiled, her smile seemingly carrying a hint of slyness, then she turned and left with Lin Na.

Fang Hong sat there, his expression a bit strange. Su Shan was also staying at the Warm Inn? Was this woman afraid he would secretly run away again?

He shook his head helplessly, finding Su Shan’s behavior somewhat unfathomable.

Afterward, Fang Hong left some silver coins on the table to pay for the tea, then stood up and left the mortal teahouse.

Fang Hong left the teahouse and headed straight for the most famous talisman shop in the city. Exploring the Ancient Tomb was fraught with danger, so he had to be fully prepared, and talismans were his important means of survival.

He planned to buy some blank talisman paper and draw a batch of new talismans. This way, exploring the Ancient Tomb would be safer...

A moment later, Fang Hong emerged from the talisman shop. He bought five thousand sheets of blank talisman paper in one go; these should be enough.

With the talisman paper in hand, Fang Hong didn’t go to hunt monsters again; he returned directly to the Warm Inn to start drawing talismans.

As soon as Fang Hong returned to the inn, Manager Li at the counter respectfully said, "Senior Fang, just now two Fairies, who said they were your friends, asked me to arrange a room next to yours. You should know about this, right?"

"Next door? Indeed, they are my friends, no big deal." Fang Hong was momentarily stunned, then reacted and nodded.

"That’s good." Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were friends, there was no fear of any disturbance.

Fang Hong walked back to his room. Passing by the two women’s room, he noticed spiritual light flickering on the door, indicating they were likely meditating and resting. He didn’t pay much attention and went straight back to his own room.

After returning to his room, Fang Hong began drawing talismans. He planned to mainly draw some Intermediate Talismans; he no longer bothered with Elementary talismans...

Late at night, everything was silent. Fang Hong was meditating and resting in his room. He had drawn many talismans today, and his magical power consumption was quite high, so he needed to meditate to recover.

"Knock knock knock..."

Suddenly, a faint knocking sound reached Fang Hong’s ears, exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Fang Hong was immediately startled, his previously calm expression turning to surprise, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Su Shan? In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?!" Fang Hong whispered.

His Divine Sense had keenly perceived Su Shan’s aura outside the door, which made him a little puzzled. Why was Su Shan looking for him so late?

"Fang Hong, open the door." Su Shan’s hushed voice came from outside the door, very low.

Fang Hong was taken aback, a little hesitant, but he still extended his fingertip, spiritual light flickering, and removed the Diamond Talisman from the door.

Then, Su Shan gently pushed open the door and crept in furtively. After entering, she immediately closed the door, her movements extremely cautious, as if she were a thief...

Su Shan walked towards Fang Hong with a smile. Fang Hong, seeing this, became a bit nervous and immediately stood up from the bed: "You, what do you want to do?"

"Oh, why are you so nervous? I just came to see you, that’s all. What? Are you afraid I’ll eat you?!" Seeing Fang Hong’s "facing a formidable enemy" look, Su Shan couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated.

"In the middle of the night, what’s there to see..." Fang Hong said speechlessly.

"You still say! Why did you leave without saying goodbye last time?" Suddenly, Su Shan dropped her smile, pointed a finger at Fang Hong, and asked angrily.

"Uh, last time... I remembered an important matter I had to complete, so I left on my own." Fang Hong felt a little guilty and made up a random excuse. He couldn’t possibly say he ran away because he was scared, that would be too much of a loss of Face.

"Important matter? Hmph, full of lies..." Su Shan scoffed, shaking her head slightly.

"This... Fellow Daoist Su, it’s late now, you should go back and rest. In a few days, we still have to explore the Ancient Tomb." Fang Hong quickly suggested, trying to change the subject. He didn’t want to continue this awkward conversation.

"Yes, it’s late, it’s time to rest." Su Shan nodded, her Face regaining a hint of calm.

Fang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Su Shan was about to leave.

But Su Shan’s next action made his eyes widen. He saw Su Shan bend down, take off her shoes, and then unceremoniously crawl directly into his quilt!

"You, why are you sleeping in my bed?!" Fang Hong said in astonishment. He had completely not expected Su Shan to make such a move, and he was utterly stunned.

"Oh, the quilt in my room isn’t thick enough, and I’m afraid of the cold." Su Shan said with a smile, her smile carrying a hint of playfulness, but her eyes were fixed on Fang Hong.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong was instantly speechless. A dignified Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with spiritual power protecting her body, how could she be afraid of such a small temperature difference...

"Fellow Daoist Fang, good night!" Su Shan smiled at Fang Hong, then turned over, no longer looking at him.

The quilt covered Su Shan, outlining her graceful figure, making Fang Hong momentarily dazed and his mind wander!

Fang Hong’s gaze lingered on Su Shan for a moment, then he suddenly snapped back to reality.

He quickly turned his head away, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He simply found a cushion, sat cross-legged in a corner of the room, and quietly became a night watchman.

He continuously recited his cultivation technique incantations in his mind, but his thoughts always uncontrollably drifted towards Su Shan on the bed...

About half an incense stick later, Su Shan’s voice, which had been silent, came again from the quiet room: "Fang Hong, I’m so cold!"

Fang Hong slightly opened one eye and looked at Su Shan. He saw her curled up, her shoulders slightly trembling, as if she was shivering.

Seeing this, Fang Hong was startled. Could it be that Su Shan really had some hidden illness and was afraid of the cold?

"Su Shan, what’s wrong?" Fang Hong stood up and quickly walked towards Su Shan, wanting to see what was happening.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached the bed, Su Shan pulled him onto it, with an expression of "successful scheme"!

Su Shan’s eyes were sparkling, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a triumphant smile.

Seeing this, Fang Hong knew he had fallen for Su Shan’s "trick." This was clearly a deception.

Fang Hong was thoroughly "enraged." He slapped his Storage Pouch, and several Diamond Talismans and Sound-Muting talismans flew to various corners of the room. Then he fiercely pulled the quilt over them, vowing to "teach" Su Shan a good lesson!

It wasn’t until dawn that Su Shan left Fang Hong’s room, satisfied, to avoid her good sister Lin Na discovering her little secret.

And so, over the next five days, Fang Hong experienced a special time. During the day, he focused on drawing talismans, and late at night, Su Shan would "raid" him, which left him exasperated.

Each time Su Shan came, Fang Hong would go through some "trouble," but he found that he didn’t dislike this way of interacting...

But precisely because of this, his relationship with Su Shan also quickly grew closer. According to the Immortal Realm’s saying, he and Su Shan had established a Dao Companion relationship...
