Wait!
Was this aloof, cultivation-obsessed man actually an ideal cultivation partner candidate!?
'Humph! There's no way what he has to offer is enough! Not enough! Not nearly enough!!'
Like the stubborn woman she was, Xue Qing refused to believe that a man like Zar could possibly be a good fit for someone as great as her.
"Senior," said Alter Xue Qing. "Can I really come back with you? You aren't… You aren't disgusted by my appearance…?"
Zar looked visibly confused. "Why would your appearance disgust me?" he asked. "To Cultivation, everyone looks the same. It doesn't discriminate. And neither do I."
Alter Xue Qing revealed a lovable smile, her eyes creasing up in happiness.
Zar wasn't following, but from her reactions, he could pretty much guess that she was fine with returning to the Azure Medicine Valley with him.
Now he just had to see what Xue Qing Prime's opinion was on the matter.
