Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts-Chapter 275 - You and Xu Xue Nuo Have No Blood Relation.
“How about I go with you?”
Zhou Wanfeng smiled at Xu Ming, her eyes curving as her long lashes trembled slightly, exuding a captivating charm that felt like rippling spring water.
The allure of Zhou Wanfeng was different from that of Mo Zhuer.
Mo Zhuer’s charm still carried a sense of innocence—a strong, youthful flavor. Even when she teased, it felt like the playful banter of a young girl.
But Zhou Wanfeng was different. Her mature allure left an immediate impression—dignified seduction.
“I’ll be returning to Wu Kingdom sooner or later,” Xu Ming said. “With your cultivation level, senior, you could easily become an honored guest in Wu Kingdom. There’s no need to follow me.”
Zhou Wanfeng chuckled lightly. “The reason I want to follow you isn’t to become some royal enforcer. What’s the appeal in that? It’s just another form of confinement.
“I simply find myself with nothing to do after leaving, and I think you’re rather interesting. So I’d like to follow you for a while.
“When I find something more entertaining, I’ll leave on my own.”
As she spoke, Zhou Wanfeng stepped forward and sat beside Xu Ming. She reached out and pulled down her collar slightly, revealing smooth, fair skin. “Besides, if you’d like, I could make you happy every night. Little girls could never compare to my skills~”
Xu Ming fell silent.
He had to admit, her words were tempting for any man.
But last time, when he let his lower half do the thinking, he ended up entangled with Mo Zhuer in a mess he still hadn’t sorted out.
And Zhou Wanfeng wasn’t just any woman—she was a killer of a woman. The kind where every man who got on her ride ended up dead.
If he let his impulses control him again this time, he might not make it off this ride alive.

“I think I’ll pass,” Xu Ming declined. “But where you go is your own choice, senior.”
His unspoken message was clear—I don’t want to get on your ride, and I never intended to make it private property. But if you insist on following, that’s your business.
Besides, Yan Han had already sent her personal guards to escort Sheng Sheng away. Now, she only had two thousand Dragon Leopard Iron Cavalry with her.
Zhou Wanfeng, a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm, would undoubtedly make their long journey back to Wu Kingdom safer.
“Oh, little gentleman, you’re no fun at all~ I’m offering to make you feel good, and you won’t even take it? Do you know how many men wish for this chance with me?” Zhou Wanfeng pouted slightly and playfully flicked Xu Ming’s nose.
Xu Ming: “I’m more interested in practicing my martial arts and swordsmanship.”
“Really?” Zhou Wanfeng smirked. “Then why do Wu Yanhan and Qin Qingwan look at you so differently? You’re saying you’re not interested in them?”
Xu Ming: “...”
“Ahaha~” Zhou Wanfeng burst into laughter, the sound resembling a goose’s honk. “Men really are all the same—so fickle.”
“Oh, right. Would you like to hear something interesting?” she asked, eyes curving mischievously. “It’s about you~”
“About me? What is it?” Xu Ming asked, curious.
Zhou Wanfeng leaned in. “While you were unconscious, I heard quite a few things about you. You remember that girl who came to Sanshi Peak with you? Your sister? That girl, her name is Xu Xue Nuo.”
“She is... Xu Xue Nuo?” Xu Ming interrupted, his expression one of shock.
“Eh?” Zhou Wanfeng blinked. “Your own sister, and you didn’t know? I thought you two were lovers.”
“...”
Xu Ming had suspected she might be Xu Xue Nuo, but she had introduced herself as Jiang Xue.
Even if she didn’t want to reveal her real name to a stranger, he had already introduced himself back then. Yet she had still chosen to hide her identity.
Why would his own sister keep such a thing from him?
Thinking back, Xu Ming realized he had actually had a chance to figure it out sooner—during the Zixia Grand Ceremony. Every sect had an assigned seating area, but at the time, he hadn’t noticed where Xu Xue Nuo had been sitting.
Xu Ming and Xia He were locked in an intense battle when Xu Xue Nuo finally appeared.
But thinking about it...
Why did Xu Xue Nuo hide her identity? Was it because she didn’t want any ties with the Xu family?
That didn’t quite make sense. There was no real need for her to go that far.
“Looks like you really didn’t know~ But that’s fine. If you don’t know, then you don’t know. After all, she’s not actually your sister,” Zhou Wanfeng said with a playful smile as she observed Xu Ming’s reaction.
Xu Ming frowned. “Senior, what do you mean? I don’t quite understand.”
“It’s exactly what it sounds like~”
Zhou Wanfeng continued, “After you fell unconscious, Bu Si Liao wanted to use a relative’s blood to heal you, claiming that a family member’s blood could activate the spiritual energy in your body.
“But the problem was, where were they supposed to find your family?
“Then someone mentioned that Xu Xue Nuo from the Wanjian Sect was your sister.
“But guess what? When they asked Xu Xue Nuo, she said her bloodline was completely incompatible with yours.
“Bu Si Liao tested it out—and sure enough, she was right.
“She has absolutely no blood relation to you.
“Now the real question is... which one of your dear parents put a green hat on your so-called father?”
“...”
As Zhou Wanfeng spoke, Xu Ming’s mind was reeling.
Xu Xue Nuo and I aren’t blood-related?
Either my mother or Madam Wang must have cheated on my so-called father?
“Does anyone else know about this?” Xu Ming asked.
Zhou Wanfeng yawned and stretched lazily. “Just me, Bu Si Liao, and Xu Cang. No one else. After all, it’s not exactly something to brag about.”
“But really, does it even matter to you?” she added. “Xu Xue Nuo was born with the Innate Sword Bone. She cut ties with your family long ago, was removed from the family records, and hasn’t been your sister for years.
“And now, with no blood connection either, she has absolutely nothing to do with you.”
“You seem to care a lot, though. Makes sense. You’ve only been cultivating for a few years, so you’re still too attached to worldly relationships. But we cultivators—sooner or later, we must sever our ties with the mortal world.”
She tapped Xu Ming’s forehead lightly, then stood up from the bed, her rounded hips swaying as she did. “I’m heading out for a walk. When you’re ready to leave Tianxuan Sect, let me know~”
With that, Zhou Wanfeng left his room.
Xu Ming remained sitting there, his mind still tangled in the revelation that either he or Xu Xue Nuo was an illegitimate child.
To him, it didn’t really matter who the bastard child was. He had no deep attachment to the Xu family.
But for Xu Xue Nuo, it was different.
That was probably why she didn’t want to face him when they first met.
Xu Ming let out a long sigh, sat up, and walked out of the courtyard.
He needed to see her.
