Chapter 119 - Li Lians Message



Chapter 119 - Li Lian's Message

Yao Wu was happy to have such a talented disciple under her wing. However, Xun Wei never believed that she was an exceptionally talented cultivator. She just believed that she was extremely motivated by revenge and had a few fortunate encounters and opportunities to get as strong as she was. She might say that she was also persistent, persevering, and had a good work ethic, but she wouldn’t say that she was talented.

What Xun Wei didn’t know was how rare it was for even the weakest spirit attribute to acknowledge and accept a cultivator. Although it mostly came down to one’s personality, one also needed to be extremely talented in the art of cultivation to be accepted by it.

...

As happy as Yao Wu was, something didn’t add up. How did Xun Wei get so many spirit points, and what happened to the blindfolded man?

When asked for an explanation, Xun Wei told Yao Wu that she killed Song Du and his men to get that many merit points. As for the blindfolded man, she knew she was referring to Xiao Fang so to keep his identity a secret she denied seeing him there.

[ Li Lian’s house ]

After coming back from the Matriarch’s Hall, Li Lian went to check on Xiao Fang, but found that he was still cultivating in seclusion.

She then sighed as she thought, ’This is probably how Xiao Fang felt when I was locked away in cultivation for so many days.’

She was always cultivating because he made her want to be stronger, and seeing how hard she was working also motivated him to do the same.

They had what some might consider to be a strange relationship. They loved each other, but didn’t let that interfere with their passion for cultivation. That was the reason why she wasn’t mad at him for sleeping with other women, because that was his dao, and no matter who he slept with she knew he wouldn’t love them the way he loved her.

Xiao Hei was resting in her feline form with her body laying in a crescent shape around Xiao Fang’s body. When she saw Li Lian open the door she lifted her head.

Xiao Hei got up, transformed into her human form, then walked out of the room to talk to Li Lian. She was curious to know who those people were and where they took her.

Li Lian told Xiao Hei everything that happened, but the reason she came back was to deliver Xiao Fang a message. She whispered it into Xiao Hei then left.

Xiao Hei sighed, not because of what she told her, but because she was bored again.

A few days later, Xiao Fang finally opened his eyes.

"Xiao Fang, you’re awake!" Xiao Hei said with excitement.

Xiao Fang looked down at his hand as he tried to activate his [ True Immortal Lightning Tribulation ] spirit attribute. At first nothing happened, but then he felt as if he was continuously being struck by lightning.

He had a bit of a pained expression on his face, but he quickly adapted to it. Even though he could take the pain, he assumed it would eventually go away, but it never did.

"Woah," Xiao Hei said as his hair and pupils became white.

Thin lines of electricity streaked across the surface of his robes and skin, giving him a much more intimidating presence.

The more he released it the more intense the lightning got, but also the more painful it became. Eventually it got so bad that he needed to stop before he could fully unleash it’s true strength.

"Why did you stop?" Xiao Hei asked.

"It hurts, why does it hurt so much? It feels like my body was being torn into pieces. Did something go wrong?"

Xiao Hei had a confused look on her face, "I’ve never heard of a spirit attribute that hurts the cultivator activating it."

Xiao Fang sighed since it seemed that his new spirit attribute was unusable.

"Where are Li Lian and Xun Wei?" Xiao Fang asked after sensing that the house was empty.

Xiao Hei then told Xiao Fang everything that happened when he was in seclusion.

"Hmm, I see."

"Xun Wei came by a few times, but she didn’t stay long since you were still cultivating the spirit attribute. She wanted me to tell you to be careful of the Matriarch. It seems that she doesn’t have a very good relationship with the Divine Sword sect."

Xun Wei also said to come eat her ass, but Xiao Hei chose to leave that part out.

Even without knowing what Xiao Hei told him, Xiao Fang was a pretty cautious guy. He wouldn’t have exposed his identity that easily.

"Well it seems that my girls are doing well," Xiao Fang said as he got up to stretch.

"Li Lian also left you a message."

"Oh, what did she say?"

"She wanted me to tell you she said she’ll surpass you."

Xiao Fang blurted out laughing.

Till now Xiao Fang had been so focused on mastering his techniques that he had been neglecting his cultivation training.

He felt the fire of competition burning in his soul again. If Li Lian wanted to surpass him, he definitely wouldn’t make it easy for her.

Xiao Fang suddenly put his hand on Xiao Hei’s chest then began to release his spirit qi into her.

"Xiao Fang, doing it this way is no fun."

"We can have fun another time. You asked me how I was able to make a clone right? If I remember correctly, you can preform the same spirit cultivation techniques as me if I feed you my spirit qi right?"

"Mn," Xiao Hei nodded.

"Show me."

Xiao Fang’s and Xiao Hei’s eye both shined for a second, then Xiao Fang reached to touch Xiao Hei but she faded into a formless fog of qi, dissipating into nothing.

"hahaha, smart girl."

Not even Xiao Fang was able to make a [ Spirit Clone ] on his first attempt.

Xiao Fang could no longer sense Xiao Hei because she had escaped a far enough distance before using [ Stealth ].

Xiao Hei then pounced towards him. When she was within a 7 meter radius from him her [ Stealth ] became useless, but she was moving too fast for him to dodged in time. However, the moment her hand touched him, his body suddenly faded into a formless fog just like she did earlier.

She then felt a hand patting her on the head. She looked up and saw that Xiao Fang was standing behind her.

"You failed. Go again."

Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei spent the next few hours honing her skills and technique. When he was satisfied with her progress, he eventually told her it was enough then started walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

Xiao Hei had patiently waited for almost 2 weeks for him to wake up, but in all that time she had no one to play with. So seeing Xiao Fang leave her to be home alone again made her sad.

"I’m going to meet my master," he said casually.

He then paused when he reached the door then looked back at Xiao Hei.

"Aren’t you coming?"

Hearing his words, her eyes widened before she started jumping with joy.

"Yay!~" she said as she jumped and latched onto his arm.

The sect had no problem letting Xiao Hei in when she was a small little cat because he just explained that she was his harmless pet, but when she grew 2 meters long it took a bit more convincing that she wasn’t a dangerous beast when he was trying to get her in after returning from the Divine Sword sect. If Xiao Hei was caught in her human form outside of the house, it would be hard to explain what she was since there were no spirit pets in this country.

"Let’s go."

Xiao Fang was amused. She was small, and acted like a child, but he knew that she was much older than she looked.

With a skip to her step she followed Xiao Fang out, holding his robes from behind as they walked outside.

Seeing her so happy to leave the house made him feel bad, but he knew she wouldn’t need to suffer like a prisoner for much longer.
