Chapter 379: My Roommate Is An Immortal

A faint blue mist rose, engulfing Wang Xuan both physically and spiritually with its blue ripples, as if elevating his life's essence to a higher level. "What a treasure, I must refine and absorb as much as I can!" he thought. The next day, he awoke, bursting with energy and vitality, feeling as though the barriers to his realm were beginning to loosen.

With the meteorite passage temporarily inaccessible, he decided to forge ahead in the real world. The day was well planned; Wang Xuan took Fang Yuzhu to report at Ancheng University. Qingmu had already made arrangements with the familiar and cooperative department heads.

Everything went smoothly. Wang Xuan pointed to a row of dormitories in the distance, telling Fang Yuzhu that was where he used to live. "Are you commuting or staying on campus?" he asked her.

"Let's stay on campus for now. In a couple of days, if I find it inconvenient, I'll move back and commute," Fang Yuzhu decided. Now, she was youthful and vibrant, dressed like a female student. In fact, as a peerless fairy from the realm of immortality, her current attire drew many eyes, pure yet with an indescribable inner quality.

"Fang... Fairy?!" a familiar face exclaimed in surprise and quickly approached. It was Zhou Shiqi, graceful and elegant, recognized by her aura and that unique charm. Fang Yuzhu had not intended to hide her true identity.

Zhou Shiqi's current identity was that of a newly debuted singer. Recently, under her company's promotion, she came to the old land to capture the market and deliberately enrolled at Ancheng University for further studies as a publicity stunt, making her a mid-entry art student.

Though not yet a top celebrity, she was fairly well-known, with a high turn-back rate on campus. Now, looking like an excited fan, she surprised many, drawing all eyes towards them. Zhou Shiqi, undeterred by the attention, excitedly proposed, "Fang Fairy, let's share a dorm room!"

"My roommate is a celestial fairy!" Wang Xuan muttered, his casual jest from the night before now seemingly coming true. He guessed that was exactly how Zhou felt, thrilled even though she herself was a fairy. "My roommate is a peerless fairy!" Zhou Shiqi corrected.

Wang Xuan: "..."

In the following two days, Fang Yuzhu embarked on a new life as a university student. She aimed for a low profile, but from day one, Zhou Shiqi became her adoring fan, ensuring Fang was the center of attention everywhere she went, despite her efforts to conceal her true appearance.

Two days later, Zhou Qinghuang sought Wang Xuan's help to enroll at Ancheng University to experience college life. Wang Xuan was speechless. What was happening? Practitioners from behind the scenes, now three of them, were all eager to live as college girls?

Wang Xuan quickly noticed the fervor in her eyes, somewhat excited, and immediately realized something. The relationship between Zhou Qinghuang and Gu Mingxi was ambiguous. Was she now aiming to get closer to Fang Yuzhu?

"Wang said, 'Zhou, your flirtations with Gu might be one thing, but if you try to get too close to Fairy Fang, be careful. A gentle wave of her delicate hand could erase you in an instant, leaving no trace.'" He warned her.

He also thought this was something many male immortals lamented. Zhou Qinghuang and Gu Mingxi, both well-known fairies behind the scenes, had an unclear relationship, which he considered a waste of resources.

"What are you talking about? I simply admire Fairy Fang. Your thoughts are unhealthy!" Zhou Qinghuang retorted, still dressed professionally, her emotions clearly agitated under her buttoned shirt.

"Men competing is one thing, but now women are joining the fray, intensifying the competition among people," Wang Xuan shook his head.

Zhou Qinghuang adjusted her glasses on her delicate nose, immediately denying any unconventional inclinations.

"Suit yourself. Go find Qingmu for help. I won't be a part of this, inviting trouble," Wang Xuan said.

"Are you trying to say, 'Leave the fairy alone, and let you handle it'? I'll tell Fairy Fang!" Zhou Qinghuang retorted, turning on her heel to leave.

"I'm warning you, don't spread rumors or slander me, or I'll send you straight back to the new star!" Wang Xuan threatened.

He knew the situation on the new star was complicated. Although immortals dared not act recklessly, adhering to the new covenant's five rules, they were rapidly expanding their businesses in a fierce competition.

At night, Wang Xuan once again commenced his cultivation, refining the Creation Crystal Stone, absorbing substances that were infinitely close to being real. During this process, he seemed to hear strange sounds and even saw vague and fragmented visions, which startled him.

"Never mind, I must become stronger. I need to go to the secret realm to retrieve someone! I must break through the meteorite pit, I need to become stronger, I have to surpass Zheng Yuantian! If I don't make an effort, I might be killed!" He motivated himself with various thoughts.

Four days later, Fang Yuzhu called him, telling him she was planning to commute and asked for his address so she could take a taxi back. As for flying back in her physical form, she decided against it for the sake of keeping a low profile. She had been the center of attention at school, with even simple evening walks attracting stares from her overly enthusiastic classmates.

After some thought, Wang Xuan decided it would be best to pick her up personally.

At Ancheng University, Qin Cheng was taking a walk with his girlfriend, reminiscing about the "glorious days" when he saw Wang Xuan driving Qingmu's expensive car into the campus.

"Wow, Old Wang, you've changed. In just a short period, the few days I haven't seen you, you've become like this? Are you living up to..." Qin Cheng approached them, but upon seeing Fang Yuzhu, his expression immediately turned to one of joy: "Sister-in-law, hello, I'm Wang Xuan's brother, Qin Cheng."

Wang Xuan quickly pulled him aside, attempting to silence him. Could he speak less? Did he realize who she was? This was the exceptional female immortal who had ended the ancient myths and started the latter myths!

"What's the matter, why are you dragging me? No worries, Old Wang, don't be nervous, I just wanted to meet the sister-in-law!" Qin Cheng tried to pull away from him.

He had met Fang Yuzhu before, but now, the appearance of Fairy Fang had changed. Although her figure remained exceptional, and her youthful school uniform could hardly conceal her stunning physique, her face was no longer the same.

"Bro!" A crisp and capable girl came over, calling out to Wang Xuan; it was Qin Cheng's girlfriend. Initially, when Qin Cheng had decided to leave for the New Moon, she had resolutely suggested they break up. This girl was remarkably straightforward, not dragging her feet at all, effectively sentencing Qin Cheng to "death" because she believed there was no future between them across the stars. Wang Xuan admired this girl named Yang Lin; she was very independent and decisively straightforward.

Yang Lin quickly pulled Qin Cheng aside to give Wang Xuan some space.

"Old Wang, let's catch up later. You go ahead with your things," Qin Cheng said, patting his shoulder, finally stepping back a few steps.

"It's not what you think. This is Fairy Fang!" Wang Xuan explained seriously.

Using mental telepathy here was no different from speaking out loud; Fang Yuzhu could clearly catch every word given the proximity.

"I understand!" Qin Cheng said, adopting an understanding look, meaning he promised not to blabber about anything. He added, to show he really got it, "A fairy stepping out from behind the curtains, you go for it! Bye, sister-in-law!"

Wang Xuan couldn't stand it; having such a brother willing to understand him made him wonder whether to feel fortunate or speechless. He quickly said, "She is a female alchemist!"

This time it had an effect. A few simple words shocked Qin Cheng, who "truly understood" this time, grasping who the person was!

He communicated with Wang Xuan using his own half-formed spiritual domain, thinking it was secretive. However, to the more powerful beings, it was like child's play, incapable of concealing any secrets.

"Old Wang, are you trying to defy the heavens? I thought she was a female immortal, but turns out, she's the foremost female immortal from behind the scenes? Such a sister-in-law, that's huge pressure!"

Unable to continue the conversation, Wang Xuan pushed him aside. Yang Lin, practical and truly understanding, pulled Qin Cheng away, preventing him from spouting nonsense.

"Yang Lin, let me tell you, Old Wang has really defied the heavens this time. Do you know who that woman just now was? She is..." Even as they walked away, he continued talking.

At the scene, Wang Xuan was feeling overwhelmed. Not far away, Zhou Qinghuang and Zhou Shiqi came out to see Fang Yuzhu off, both suppressing their smiles as they enjoyed seeing him in a tight spot, feeling quite pleased.

In fact, once Qin Cheng reached a secluded spot far away, he immediately dropped his "ignorance" and stopped talking nonsense. He finally sighed, "I did it to pressure Old Wang, to remind him not to forget his original intentions. Some things are permissible, but some people must not be forgotten!"

Fang Yuzhu got into the car, waved to the two women, and was very calm. Although she was trying to integrate into the mundane world, there weren't many things in it that could truly capture her attention or concern.

On the way, Wang Xuan taught her how to drive. For a celestial being, driving skills and the profound meanings of scriptures are incomparably simple; she would be able to hit the road on her own next time.

In the evening, Wang Xuan once again enjoyed a delicious meal of homemade dishes. Just at this time, his mother called, inquiring about his well-being, what he was eating, wearing, and living.

This was rare, as usually, his parents weren't too concerned about these trivial matters, saying that since he wasn't a girl, they were not worried about leaving him be.

"I'm eating quite well. Yes, I'm actually eating right now. Tomato and egg stir-fry, red braised prawns, hmm, it tastes better than what you make, I ate two large bowls today!"

"What are you talking about? Who can cook better than me?!" Wang Xuan's mother objected, asking who was cooking for him.

"My roommate, no, my neighbor," Wang Xuan said.

"It's Fang Yuzhu, Little Fang, right?" Wang Xuan's mother asked this way.

Wang Xuan was stunned on the spot; even his mother knew about it?

"I asked Qingmu about it, and he mentioned that recently, a girl named Fang Yuzhu became your neighbor. Little Fang, she's a nice person, you should spend more time with her," Wang's mom chuckled joyfully before decisively hanging up the call.

"Little Fang..." Fang Yuzhu showed a hint of surprise, feeling somewhat unusual since it had been a long time since anyone had called her that. She silently speculated for a moment but didn't notice anything particular.

In the evening, under the moonlight, which became fuller by the month, Wang Xuan felt something unusual as he looked up at the sky from the estate.

After dinner, as usual, he practiced his cultivation, refining the luminescent creation crystals. Soon, he entered a deep meditative state, enveloped in a blue mist.

At midnight, the silver moon in the sky changed, tinted with a hint of blood-red. A fishing line silently descended, entering Wang Xuan's room!

At that moment, in the adjacent room, the ethereally beautiful Fang Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes, her dazzling brilliance flowing like a miniature divine river.
