Chapter 884 - Becoming a Cultivator (1/2)

While Xiang Yong worried about the future, Qiang Yan went in to greet his son and future daughter-in-law. Looking at the two of them together, he couldn't help but think back to the time when he had still been with Huan Yin. Most likely, the two of them had made a couple such as this. Although … He felt that Nie Huang wasn't as outspoken as his wife had been back then. Well, a human woman would naturally grow up differently from somebody like Huan Yin who had the blood of three races. There were different expectations for both women so naturally, they would also turn out differently.

Qiang Yan shook his head at himself for getting lost in thoughts at this kind of moment and then took out the pill again, giving it to Nie Huang. ”This is the pill we talked about. The God of Medicine just finished refining it.”

Nie Huang examined the unassuming pill and then first glanced at Qiang Yan before she looked at her husband. This was what they had been waiting for. With this pill, she would be able to become immortal. Well, at the very least, she would have the opportunity to become an immortal like her husband. From everything that he had told her, she would still need to put in a lot of work before she was at the point where she could indeed be considered a mortal. But she was up for that challenge. If it meant being able to stay together with Bai Mu for a lifetime, she was ready to try everything.

Bai Mu requited her gaze and took her hands, squeezing them lightly. ”It's alright. We've talked about this before. You can definitely do it.”

Nie Huang nodded and then turned back to Qiang Yan. ”Thank you, father-in-law.”

Qiang Yan shook his head and patted both their shoulders. ”I'm just happy that the two of you will have a future together. Then I shouldn't disturb you any longer. It's better you start soon so we will know if it worked or if we need to try something else.” He already wanted to turn away and go back to the Nine Heavens when Bai Mu called out to him.

”Wait. That … Would you mind staying for a while longer?”

Qiang Yan raised his brows. Naturally, he wouldn't mind. He just wasn't quite sure why his son was asking him to do so.

Bai Mu smiled wryly at the unspoken question. ”I've never done something like this. I guess you haven't either but I think I'd feel better with the two of us here just in case something unforeseen happens.”

Qiang Yan smiled. ”Nie Huang can be happy to have a husband like you. Of course, I'll stay if it's like this.”

Bai Mu heaved a sigh of relief and then guided Nie Huang to sit down before he knelt down in front of her. Qiang Yan sat down to the side, giving the two of them a bit of space while being close enough that he would be able to get involved if something did indeed go wrong.

Not that he expected that to happen. Considering who that recipe had come from and who had refined the pill, nothing should be wrong with that part. And from how he had to gotten to know Bai Mu so far, he certainly would've talked things through with Nie Huang prior to getting the pill so she should also know what to do.

Since they were both with her right now and could give some advice on the side, he really couldn't imagine how something should go wrong. So it was just a question of how fast she would be able to grasp the concept of using the spiritual energy she acquired and start to cultivate.
