Chapter 133: Did He Kiss Her or Not, Exactly?
Page 1 of 3
Everything about Cloudweave Mountain lay beyond their understanding, so suffering a setback was only natural.
“Father is wondering whether this happened because I wasn’t good enough or strong enough.”
“Some things cannot be changed simply by blaming yourself and regretting them. It’s like comparing loose silver to a gold ingot—the silver just isn’t as durable!”
Ji Yun was on the verge of suffocating. He had already been hurt badly enough, and now she was driving another knife straight into his chest.
She really was his little padded jacket! One made of thorns, perhaps—she was poking holes in him!
Ji Yin looked up and met Ji Yun’s expression.
Oh no. He looked as if he were about to have a fit from anger.
She had clearly come to comfort him. How had things turned out like this?
“It’s because Father is useless, nothing more than a handful of loose silver…”
Ji Yin: …
“But a gold ingot can’t buy anything at the little market outside our home, while loose silver can. No one is perfect. Everyone has their own strengths.”
Ji Yun was rendered speechless.
In any case, there was one thing he knew for certain: his daughter thought he was too weak!
He simply wasn’t as powerful as Xuanyuan Ji.
She had gained a master and forgotten her father.
Ji Yun’s heart was so thoroughly wounded that it was riddled with holes, beyond repair.

Suddenly, a voice came from the distance.
Ji Yin and Ji Yun immediately rose to their feet and looked toward it.
“Someone broke through!”
“Master Chu, congratulations on advancing so quickly!”
It turned out to be Chu Yu.
Chu Yu’s aptitude was quite good. Despite having expended so much soul power the last time, he had managed to break through to the fourth rank so quickly in Cloudweave Mountain.
Chu Yu stared at his hands, a trace of delighted surprise on his face.
He had never expected to advance so quickly.
The changes after breaking through were enormous. His entire body felt light and refreshed, as though his meridians had been cleansed and rendered clearer, while the power within his spirit realm had grown even stronger.
He immediately raised a hand and summoned a pillar of wind. Before, he had only been able to control one, but after reaching the fourth rank, he could manipulate several at will, adjusting their size however he pleased.
It was a tremendous leap—from a single-target attack to an area attack!
The people nearby were filled with both envy and jealousy.
“Another person broke through!”
“There’s one more!”
“He—he broke through too!”
More than a dozen people advanced in succession!
Had they been in the Heavenly Origin Sect, those who broke through today would probably have needed several months, a year, or even longer to achieve the same result.

Ji Yun’s expression finally improved somewhat. “Everyone, continue meditating. I’ll protect you while you cultivate.”
“Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!”
“Many thanks, Imperial Preceptor!”
Naturally, Chu Yu refused to waste even a moment. He immediately sat down and resumed cultivating.
The others hurried to seize this opportunity as well.
Only Ji Yin had nothing to do.
Mo Chuan had fallen asleep after taking his medicine, while Ji Shaofeng kept watch beside him.
Bored, Ji Yin leaned against a tree. The scenes from the illusion realm rose uncontrollably in her mind.
She lifted a hand and touched her lips.
Had it truly been a kiss, or had a flower petal merely brushed against them?
The question had been tormenting her the entire time.
“Great Demon, you can’t possibly be this slow-witted, can you? You don’t even know whether you were kissed? If you hadn’t sealed me away, I would definitely know what happened, and you wouldn’t have to agonize over it like this.”
“Just shut up! Don’t mention it again!” Ji Yin answered angrily.
She was truly irritable. She absolutely could not think about this matter anymore!
