My Master (2)
"Master's wife, why do you insist on knowing my master's name? Although my master's cultivation is profound, he is not well-known in the Cultivation World, and not many people know him. Even if I told you, you probably wouldn't have heard of him. There's really no need to tell you," Yue Qianchou said with a faint smile. Inwardly, however, he cursed, "Master's wife doesn't know my master's name? What kind of logic is that? Why does this sound so awkward? Damn it! Old Man Bi has gotten the better deal. Three masters and one master's wife—talking about masters in front of my master's wife is indeed an awkward combination."
Hundred Charm Demoness Ji glared at him and shouted, "Little fox, don't give me that. No matter how high your cultivation is, can it be higher than the late Tribulation Transcendence stage? Even if your master is some reclusive master, I don't believe he has never walked in the Cultivation World. If he is really as powerful as you say, how could he be unknown? I have been in charge of a sect for many years. Not to mention the distant past, as long as you name the masters still alive in this world, I can name them one or two."
"Master's wife, can't we just not talk about it? Just pretend I'm talking nonsense." Yue Qianchou put on a troubled look.
"Oh! Are you making fun of your master's wife?" Hundred Charm Demoness Ji approached step by step with a seductive smile, her tone full of ill intent. She said with a smile, "Little fox, you have to tell me today, whether you like it or not. If you dare to lie to me, I'll seal your cultivation, strip you naked, and make the girls in this Myriad Flower Pavilion keep you here for ten days or half a month, draining you dry before letting you go."
"This master's wife is so formidable!" Yue Qianchou pushed her away with both hands and said awkwardly, "Master's wife, please wait. How could I dare to lie to you? It's just that my master hasn't met an opponent who can defeat him in two thousand years. He wanted to be defeated but couldn't, so he has been living in seclusion ever since. How could you possibly know about him?"
Upon hearing this, Hundred Charm Demoness froze on the spot, blinking her eyes in confusion. "Little fox, are you talking nonsense? Have you been frightened by the girls of the Myriad Flower Pavilion, or did I mishear you? Are you saying that your master has lived for over two thousand years?"
"Master's wife!" Yue Qianchou called out, then smiled bitterly, "You heard me right, my master is indeed over two thousand years old. Just like you said, the Cultivation World is full of hidden talents, but the so-called late Tribulation Transcendence stage is really not considered a master, at least in the eyes of my master and his people, they are really not considered masters."
"Over two thousand years old, over two thousand years old, what cultivation level could allow someone to live for over two thousand years? Could it be... could it be the legendary Spirit Transformation stage?" The Hundred Charm Demoness suddenly trembled, her pretty face turning pale as she thought of that impossible possibility. She bit her lip, looking at Yue Qianchou with suspicion and uncertainty, and said, "Little fox, has your master's cultivation level reached the legendary Spirit Transformation stage?"
Yue Qianchou solemnly clasped his hands and said, "My master's cultivation has reached the peak of the late Spirit Transformation stage. Becoming an immortal is only a step away for him." His words had a rather frightening quality.
Hundred Charm Demoness's alluring lips parted slightly, somewhat dumbfounded. After a long while, she eagerly asked, "You just mentioned your master and those people. Could it be that there's more than one Nascent Spirit Transformation stage like your master?"
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Of course there are quite a few, but people who have reached that level of cultivation are almost all focused on cultivation and do not care about worldly affairs, which is why few people in the Cultivation World know about them."
The Hundred Charm Demoness's expression shifted unpredictably, and it was unclear what she was thinking. After pondering for a moment, she said, "More than two thousand years is not a short time, but it is not a very long time either. Your master has such cultivation, so he must not have been an unknown person more than two thousand years ago. Why don't you tell me your master's name? Perhaps I have seen your master's name in some ancient book."
"It's really inconvenient to tell you my master's name, and besides..." Yue Qianchou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Besides, my master didn't really leave any great name in the Cultivation World more than two thousand years ago. He has always been quite low-key."
"Hehe!" Hundred Charm Demoness suddenly burst into laughter, her body trembling with mirth. Pointing at Yue Qianchou, she laughed and scolded, "You really are a little fox! I almost fell for your tricks. Luckily, I know you're never one to tell the truth. You said your master is invincible, a Nascent Spirit Transformation stage, and that's one thing, but you even went so far as to say he's at the peak of the late Spirit Transformation stage! Even if all that were true, you dare to say there are plenty of Spirit Transformation stage in the world? Do you think Spirit Transformation stage are as plentiful as vegetables at the market? Trying to fool me? You don't even bother to prepare your lies properly. I asked you to give me your master's name precisely to test you, but you kept dodging the question. You little fox, you really are no good."
"Uh..." Yue Qianchou was completely speechless. He really couldn't understand it. He had told quite a few lies, but people believed his lies, while no one believed his honesty. Who could he tell this grievance to? He thought to himself, "I can't be too honest in the future."
A smile gradually appeared on Yue Qianchou's face, but it was the kind of smile that comes from seeing an idiot. He sneered, "It's understandable that those who are highly accomplished in this world are unwilling to associate with ordinary people. My master's wife forced me to speak out, so if you don't believe me, then forget it. Just pretend I never said it. Fortunately, a few people from a certain sect have witnessed it and know that I wasn't lying."
Hundred Charm Demoness's smile faltered, and she asked stiffly, "Which sect has seen them before?"
Yue Qianchou said calmly, "Grandma Ma Jiu from Fu Xian Island, along with four late Tribulation Transcendence stage Elders and a group of elders including Dongfang Changao, accidentally provoked a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator. Before they even saw him, they were all severely injured by his Divine Sense in one strike and fled in panic. Fortunately, the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage showed mercy, otherwise none of them would have been able to return to Fu Xian Island alive. This matter is not a secret among the higher-ups of Fu Xian Island. Perhaps the higher-ups of the top three sects of Righteous and Demonic paths also know some of the inside story, but they are just keeping it from the other sects."
"Are you telling the truth?" Hundred Charm Demoness exclaimed in surprise. To be able to severely injure five experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending Realm with a single move using only Divine Sense —this level of cultivation was simply too terrifying. How could she not be astonished?
"With your ability to gather information, Master's wife, it shouldn't be difficult to investigate if you put in the effort." He then bowed and said, "Thank you for informing me of the current situation in the Cultivation World, Master's wife. I have other important matters to attend to and will visit you again another day." He was taking his leave.
"Wait! I have something else to ask." Hundred Charm Demoness stopped him and asked suspiciously, "This is something that only the higher-ups of the major sects know about. How did you know?" She didn't know that Yue Qianchou was still on Fu Xian Island when that incident happened.
Yue Qianchou smiled slightly and said, "It's a coincidence that it was my master who injured them. If my master's wife has no other questions, I will take my leave."
"Your master? Wait!" Hundred Charm Demoness called out to him again in astonishment, and said with a charming smile, "I dare not offend Spirit Transformation stage, but since I have finally met Spirit Transformation stage disciple, I naturally want to learn from him. I want to see what kind of unparalleled skills you have learned from a Spirit Transformation stage master."
Damn! Yue Qianchou an eyebrow. Was this woman about to turn on him? Before he could even speak, Hundred Charm Demoness flashed by, and the room was now filled with her. The alluring woman, draped in red gauze, surrounded him in various phantom poses...
