Exploring the True Meaning of Life

Chen Chang'an looked at Hu Tianjiao with confusion, unsure what she intended to remind him about.

Hu Tianjiao took a deep breath and slowly approached Chen Chang'an, her expression serious as she studied him.

With her standing so close and the alluring fragrance of her body wafting toward him, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

What was going on?

Was she… harboring improper thoughts about him?

Had she fallen for his looks?

Hmph!

So she was just another shallow woman!

"Take care of your body."

Hu Tianjiao's words left Chen Chang'an deeply annoyed.

Take care of his body?

What was wrong with his body? It was ridiculously strong!

"What kind of nonsense is that?"

"My body is perfectly fine."

"Don’t think saying something like this will grab my attention or make me so frustrated that I’ll try to prove something with you."

"I won’t let you have your way."

"Though, if you really want to—"

Before Chen Chang'an could finish, he noticed Hu Tianjiao’s gaze had shifted into something strange.

"What are you thinking?"

"What I mean is, you should pay attention to your body."

"Because, right before I was forcibly cut off from traveling to the future, I heard you say something."

"You said, 'If only I hadn’t neglected my body.'"

"I don’t understand, so I’m reminding you. Maybe you already know what it means."

Though it seemed like he had misread the situation, Chen Chang'an didn’t know the meaning of embarrassment. Instead, he carefully pondered the meaning behind those words.

"If only I hadn’t neglected my body"?

Why would he ever say something like that?

After some thought, Chen Chang'an began to understand. From the very beginning, he had never paid much attention to his body—in fact, he had outright ignored it.

Because his body was so strong, Chen Chang'an never needed to worry about it. Nothing could go wrong with it anyway.

But what if he did start paying attention? Would something change?

Chen Chang'an lowered his head, scrutinizing his own body, while Hu Tianjiao did the same.

Both of them shared the same thought—was there some hidden secret about this body?

"Aside from being ridiculously strong, there doesn’t seem to be anything particularly strange about it, right?"

Hu Tianjiao reached out and poked at Chen Chang'an’s body a few times, completely oblivious to the exasperated look in his eyes.

Hey, shouldn’t you be a little more mindful? This is someone else’s body—is it really appropriate to be so handsy?

"Whoa!"

"Don’t go any lower. Any further and things will get out of hand."

"Hey, could you stop groping around?"

"This is my body." Chen Chang'an quickly stopped Hu Tianjiao’s dangerous movements.

Huh?

Chen Chang'an’s words made Hu Tianjiao realize she had gotten a bit too carried away—she had nearly touched a place she shouldn’t have.

"I was just checking. No ulterior motives."

"Besides, don’t you men usually like this kind of thing?"

"Did it feel good?" Hu Tianjiao smirked seductively, nearly making Chen Chang'an’s head spin.

Feel good?

Honestly, not really. It was too quick, and she hadn’t even touched the right spot.

"Well, it’s still early."

"How about we… thoroughly explore the mysteries of life together?"

"Or perhaps conduct an in-depth study of my body?"

"We might discover something."

"It could be a blessing for the entire Primordial Immortal Realm."

"You’d be the great savior of the Primordial Immortal Realm." Chen Chang'an grinned.

Hearing this, Hu Tianjiao actually started considering it seriously.

She seemed to be weighing the likelihood of such a possibility.

"No!"

"It can’t be that simple."

"You’re trying to trick me."

"Hmph!"

"Let me tell you, I’m not that easily fooled."

Hu Tianjiao rolled her eyes at Chen Chang'an. She thought the chances of this method unlocking any hidden potential in his body were slim—he was probably just trying to take advantage of her.

"I’m a gentleman."

"Accusing me like this is slander against my character."

"Do I seem like that kind of person?"

"Do I?"

"Don’t you?"

"Absolutely not."

Chen Chang'an spoke with righteous indignation, firmly denying her suspicions. His conviction was so strong that even Hu Tianjiao began to wonder if she had misjudged him.

"Then what part of your body have you been neglecting?"

"Do you really have no idea?" Hu Tianjiao asked curiously.

Neglecting?

If there was one thing Chen Chang'an had ignored, it was body refinement.

But did this body even need refining? Hu Tianjiao had admitted she wasn’t confident she could kill him.

What did that mean? Even a Celestial Emperor couldn’t do anything to Chen Chang'an’s body.

If that was the case, how could he refine it further?

Could it be that the key was training his body after all?

"Do you think there’s any method in the Primordial Immortal Realm that could make my body even stronger?"

"Or at least allow me to cultivate it in some way?"

"Is that even possible?" Chen Chang'an asked.

Hearing this, Hu Tianjiao shook her head without hesitation. Impossible!

Chen Chang'an’s physical condition was already absurdly strong. Hu Tianjiao had felt powerless against him before, and now she was certain she couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

How could a body like that be cultivated?

Did it even need cultivation?

After a long discussion, neither of them could figure out what part of his body had been neglected.

If it wasn’t body refinement, then what else could it be?

"Should we… try it out?"

"See if it’s that kind of problem?" Chen Chang'an suggested.

Hu Tianjiao gave him a weary look. "Do you really think that’s it?"

"I don’t know, which is why we should test it." Chen Chang'an replied earnestly.

"I don’t think so."

"I don’t care what you think. I care what I think."

"..."

"You want both the benefits and the pleasure?"

"No, no, don’t misunderstand. I’m purely interested in exploring the mysteries of life and the body with you."

"This is for the Primordial Immortal Realm, for all humans and demons."

"This is a grand experiment."

"We might even uncover a new chapter in the understanding of life itself. Don’t you agree?"

Chen Chang'an’s words left Hu Tianjiao stunned. Wasn’t he just trying to get his way? And yet he made it sound so noble?

This guy… truly a master of words!

"Are you really interested in my body?" Hu Tianjiao asked solemnly.

"No!"

"Ours."

"A mutual exploration, for the greater good!" Chen Chang'an matched her seriousness.

"Well…"

"Forget it!"

"I don’t believe a word you say."

"We’ll talk about it another time!"

Damn it!

After building up the mood to this point, she just drops a "we’ll talk later"?

Couldn’t they just "talk" after?
