Light Cultivation
Eps. 35 — Cooperation
The next day, the faction led by Ziyun finally arrived at Meily's camp. Meily herself had heard the news that her best friend was here so she did not move too far to hunt down the demons.
In just one look, the Snow Lotus Faction was superior to the Fire Lantern Faction, the average snow lotus had members who were in the spirit realm of stage 8 and above. Although the numbers were below the Fire Lantern Faction, if the two fought then the Snow Lotus Faction would come out victorious.
The unique of the Niu Meily faction lies in its all-female members, arguably the Snow Lotus Faction is a faction where all its members are female.
The young men who came from the Ziyun faction were instantly stunned when they saw the two beautiful girls meeting each other. Ziyun looked very graceful whereas Meily looked beautiful and sweet.
Meily brought Ziyun to one of her private tents, she disliked it when the man's gaze observed her without blinking.
It made Ye Ziyun chuckle, according to him his little friend was always cold to every man.
“I still didn't expect you to have surpassed my cultivation, I really still don't accept.” Ziyun smiled, opened the chat.
“Kak Ziyun will also break through right? Just a few more days maybe you could be on par with me back.”
“Although our cultivation will be the same it does not make me feel happy. My age and your age are different, just as your cultivation has embarrassed me.”
Meily laughed a little. “Not to be humble, Brother Ziyun, your talent is also high. There are not many people at your age who have a cultivation level at the 3rd stage of the Soul realm.”
Ye Ziyun smiled faintly, not feeling flattered. He must admit that Meily is a true genius who cannot be pursued. A few years earlier the girl was still far below her cultivation but now Meily was on top.
“I'm here to tell you something, a few days ago I met a horde of ground rat stealth with someone..”.
“Grand of mole rats?” Meily surprised.
Ziyun nodded before continuing on again. “They are so many and savage, if the earth rats were not afraid of the cold temperatures I let out, maybe they would attack my fax area.”.
Meily listened to all her best friend's stories until the end, she was silent for a while, not expecting the most dangerous demon in the forest like this.
“Actually I also met a cloud bear who was hundreds of years old, fortunately I and others were able to fight and kill him.” Meily said after.
Ziyun let out a long breath. “Competition this year seems more difficult, I don't mind losing but it will be very hard hit if my fax members are dead.”
“So, what is Kak Ziyun planning next?”
“Mei’er, it would be nice for our factions to work together. In addition to our chances of safety so increased, the victory achieved is not a difficult thing.”
The offer was approved by Meily in that second, because she also thought it should be, Meily slightly underestimated this competition so that bringing 40 percent of its members, Meily admitted she was still lacking people.

The meeting of Ye Ziyun's faction with Meily's faction made some members of the Fire Lantern no longer pay attention to Jian Chen especially men.
Most of them had always sought the attention of the snow lotus faction's head, of course because they wanted to be glimpsed by Meily. Unfortunately Meily herself did not care about the efforts of the men, instead she was cold to them.
Jian Chen who noticed that smiled, to be honest he was jealous of the spirit of the men in pursuing his love even though Meily ignored him over and over again.
Jian Chen's smile slowly faded as a thought flashed across him. Jian Chen so remembered the girl who had his heart in his previous life.
The girl who had been with him for several years until finally died separated the two. The girl was someone who filled Jian Chen's heart all along.
‘This second life, maybe we both don't know each other. If I had met again, he would have thought of me as a stranger.’.
Jian Chen thought that while looking at Meily's tent from afar, a pat on the boat made him startled.
“Nona Ziyun, you made my heart want to be removed!” Jian Chen was surprised as he stroked his chest.
Ziyun chuckled, then turned towards Jian Chen's previous gaze which led to Meily's tent, the tent was swarming with many men who wanted to give the girl a gift.
“Ah, I understand now. You're definitely not interested in Niu Meily?” Ziyun turned to Jian Chen again, sitting nearby.
“Oh, yes. You shouldn't be shy about telling the truth, it's not weird stuff in the academy people who have a crush on him.”
It is true that Ziyun said, Meily's beauty could be said to be on a different level to female beauty in general.
Meily's beauty exuded beauty, elegance, as well as warmth. Almost all of the academy's students recognized Meily's beauty especially among the men who could be made to fall for her just by looking at her.
“I am not interested in him, exactly I have not thought about the attraction..”.
Jian Chen might be fascinated by Meily's beauty but that didn't make her fall in love, there were many things she had to take care of one example was the safety of her clan.
Looking at Jian Chen who answered him flatly made Ziyun not discuss it further, strangely when he saw the look in Jian Chen's eyes, Ziyun caught a look of sadness for a moment.
Ziyun then shifted her conversation to something else, the two chatted for a while until the sky did not feel dark.
At night, Jian Chen chose to be alone from his group. He sat on one of the branches of the tree and continued his practice of absorbing stealth gems.
As the night grew late and the other members were already asleep, Jian Chen's eyes opened as he faintly heard the sound of a sword swing. The voice was so faint that others could not hear it.
Jian Chen finally decided to check on the sound, about 100 meters away stepped Jian Chen then found Meily who was practicing the sword.
‘This girl, did she never sleep at night.’ Jian Chen noticed Meily's swordplay from a tree branch.
Jian Chen could now understand why Meily could not perfect the Moon Sword technique perfectly. In the end Jian Chen decided to approach him.
***
Meily had only played the sword technique a fifth time before her swing came to a halt when she saw Jian Chen. Meily was not surprised as Jian Chen before her eyes, the girl even instantly closed her eyes.
“Why am I? Even while practicing the man was still in my head.” Meily muttered softly and then saw Jian Chen standing in front of him.
Meily considered that Jian Chen's figure was now a shadow of the result of her mind always thinking about the young man.
“Is it true Ziyun said that I have feelings for her.” Meily held onto her chest, feeling her heart rise quickly when looking at Jian Chen.
A few days before the competition arrived, Meily always went to the Mist Forest and wished herself to meet Jian Chen again but the results were always nil.
“Go away, I want to focus on practicing.” Meily tried to drive out Jian Chen whom she considered a shadow of her mind.
Jian Chen scratched his head, slightly not understanding why he was immediately told to leave.
“I know these few days you've been on my mind, but don't stop me from practicing.” He continued to repel Jian Chen's figure. “Why don't you want to go, should I destroy your shadow first.”.
Feeling that his words did not make the shadow disappear, Meily swung her sword blade slowly hoping that the figure would disappear into fog.
Unfortunately when his sword eye was about to hit him, the shadow caught the swing of the sword.
Meily's heart paused for a moment before taking some distance from Jian Chen, Meily's eyes widened when she realized something.
“You, you are real?” Tanya Meily stammered.
Jian Chen smiled before nodding slowly. “During did not meet..”
The girl could not hide her happiness, she did not expect to see the young man she had been looking for again.
A few seconds later Meily realized that she had said something strange in front of Jian Chen directly. Especially about his feelings.
Meily's face immediately flushed completely, blushing deeply, deeply embarrassed. He covered his face with both hands and this time wished that this was all a dream.
