I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Chapter 362: Chapter 362 The Demon Realm is Scary, but Have You Seen Me Without a Nap?

Qin Ran slowly sat down by her bedside, her fingers lightly gripping the edge of her robes as her brows furrowed slightly.

Her beauty was something she had always been aware of.

It wasn’t arrogance… it was simply fact.

Throughout the years, countless men had been captivated by her appearance.

Even within this temple, where discipline and purity were held above all else, there were monks who would occasionally steal glances at her when they thought she wasn’t paying attention.

She had long since grown accustomed to such reactions.

But Lin Feng… was different.

From beginning to end, his gaze had remained calm, detached and completely unaffected.

There had been no flicker of desire, no trace of admiration, not even the slightest hesitation in his demeanor.

It was as though her beauty meant nothing to him.

That realization unsettled her far more than she cared to admit.

“Am I… truly that insignificant in his eyes?” she whispered, a rare hint of self-doubt surfacing within her thoughts.

The room fell silent once more.

That night, Qin Ran did not sleep.

She sat alone in the dim stillness of her chambers, her mind replaying the events of the day over and over again… the truth revealed, the miasma dissipating, Fang Yuan’s hidden sins… and above all, the calm, distant figure of Lin Feng.

For the first time in a very long while, her heart could not find peace.

***

Morning arrived wrapped in soft golden light, and within the quiet courtyard of the Su Clan, one small figure was already bursting with energy.

“Mama! Wanwan is going! Wanwan will see you later!” Su Wanwan called out brightly, her voice crisp and lively as she ran past the doorway.

She didn’t even wait for a response.

Her small feet pattered quickly against the stone path as she rushed toward the clan gates, her heart already racing with anticipation.

Perhaps it was simply because she knew, without a doubt, that she would be there.

And Su Wanwan was right.

Waiting just beyond the gates was the same grand, elegant carriage she had come to adore.

It stood out effortlessly from the others… polished wood, delicate carvings, and an air of quiet luxury that made it feel almost alive.

The moment she saw it, her eyes sparkled, and a wide, delighted smile spread across her face.

Standing beside the carriage was a breathtaking raven-haired beauty, her posture graceful and composed.

Even in stillness, she exuded a natural elegance that seemed untouchable, like a distant moon reflected on calm water.

“Big Sister Chu Jiangyue! Thank you for waiting!” Su Wanwan called out as she hurried over, practically skipping the last few steps.

Her voice was filled with pure joy, her small figure brimming with excitement as she climbed up.

Her gaze lingered on Chu Jiangyue, taking in every detail… the silky dark hair, the flawless features, the calm and gentle aura.

To Su Wanwan, she was the very image of perfection.

Although the clan had arranged many fine carriages to escort her to the academy, each one more luxurious than the last, Wanwan had never shown the slightest interest in them.

To her, they all felt cold and boring. Only this carriage mattered.

Only Chu Jiangyue and Qiao Mei mattered.

In her innocent little world, being close to them felt like being close to something magical.

They were beautiful, elegant, and mature in a way she deeply admired. They smelled so good too!

And somewhere in her young heart, she believed that if she stayed by their side long enough, she too would grow into someone just like them.

Maybe even faster.

Big Sister Chu Jiangyue is so beautiful today… Wanwan thought as she gazed at her with shining eyes. Wanwan will definitely grow up to be big and beautiful too! Even more beautiful!

Her small hands clenched slightly in determination as she sat properly, her expression serious for a brief moment before her usual cheerful energy returned.

She leaned forward slightly, unable to sit still, her excitement bubbling over as the carriage began to move.

For Su Wanwan, this wasn’t just a ride to school.

It was the beginning of another wonderful day… one where she could stay close to the people she admired most, and take one more tiny step toward the future she dreamed of.

“Don’t rush too much, Wanwan. We’re not going to be late,” Chu Jiangyue reminded gently, her voice calm and composed.

But the little girl was far too excited to listen.

In a flash, Su Wanwan darted into the carriage, her small figure moving with surprising speed.

The moment she stepped inside, she froze slightly… her bright eyes widening in surprise.

Someone was already there.

“Big Sister Qiao Mei! You’re back!” Su Wanwan exclaimed, her voice bursting with joy as she rushed forward. “Wanwan is so happy to see you again!”

Qiao Mei hadn’t accompanied them for the past few days, and neither had Wang Yuyan.

The two had been in seclusion, focusing on breaking through in their cultivation.

To Wanwan, their absence had made the days feel noticeably dull.

“I am,” Qiao Mei replied with a warm smile, her eyes soft as they landed on the energetic little girl. “And I’m happy to see you too, Wanwan.”

Su Wanwan beamed, her happiness impossible to hide as she climbed up beside her.

She immediately began chattering, asking questions and sharing little things that had happened over the past few days, her voice lively and full of life.

Qiao Mei listened patiently, occasionally responding with gentle amusement.

A moment later, Chu Jiangyue stepped into the carriage as well, her elegant presence completing the small group.

With everyone gathered, the carriage soon began to move, rolling smoothly away from the Su Clan toward the academy.

Inside, Su Wanwan sat between them, her face glowing with pure delight.

Her eyes moved from one beautiful woman to the other, clearly pleased beyond words.

“Big Sister Qiao Mei is back…” she thought happily, her lips curling into an even brighter smile.

Clenching her tiny fists, she pumped them in determination, her expression turning adorably serious for a moment.

“This way, Wanwan will become big and beautiful twice as fast!”

The thought alone filled her with excitement.

She could hardly sit still, her legs swaying as she imagined her future self… tall, graceful, and just as stunning as the two women beside her.

She couldn’t wait to grow up.
