A Peerlessly Beautiful Woman Was Brutally Fierce

A peerlessly beautiful woman was brutally fierce (free chapter)

The White-clothed woman held a long sword in her hand. Her movements were nimble, and her techniques were exquisite.

The black bear's strength was formidable. With a single swipe of its paw, it could snap a tree that would take a person to wrap their arms around.

The White-clothed woman didn't dare let the black bear get close. Its entire body was as hard as iron, and even when her sword struck it, the most it did was make it pause for a moment. She couldn't even scratch its fur.

Bi Fan watched carefully and saw sword light flickering along the White-clothed woman's blade. He was utterly shocked. He knew she was at least a powerhouse of the Inner Breath Realm.

But the black bear was even more extraordinary. Even the sword light couldn't hurt it; its hide was evidently so thick that it was nearly impenetrable.

"Xiao Feng, come back. You can't do anything to Big Black." A voice, sweet and clear beyond compare, rang out.

Hearing someone speak, Bi Fan was astonished. He hadn't known anyone else was nearby.

The White-clothed woman pulled back, darting away from the black bear with a few quick movements.

"Miss, this black bear's hide is way too thick. If I had a magic treasure, I'd be able to deal with it."

"You there, boy. You've watched enough, haven't you? Why don't you come out?" The woman who had spoken earlier spoke again, clearly addressing Bi Fan.

Bi Fan adjusted the strips of cloth he was wearing to cover his most important parts, then sauntered out.

In an open area not far away stood two women dressed in white as bright as snow. Both were slender, with striking figures, and looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

One of them was the young woman who had just fought the black bear. She still held her long sword in her hand.

She had delicate brows and long lashes, a small mouth and a shapely nose, and skin as white as snow. She stared wide-eyed at Bi Fan, mortified and flustered beyond words.

The other girl was about ten centimeters taller. She had willow-leaf brows, large eyes, an oval face, a delicate nose, and cherry-red lips. Her fair skin was flushed with a tender pink, making her look ravishing.

She had the bearing of an orchid in a secluded valley, of plum blossoms amid the snow—an air of someone who had transcended the world.

Even after seeing Bi Fan in his utterly disheveled state, her emotions didn't waver in the slightest. Her expression didn't change at all.

Bi Fan had never seen a woman so beautiful she seemed beyond compare. He was captivated.

"Where did this little runt come from? You're asking to die!" The young woman who had fought the black bear shouted at him. But her Miss hadn't spoken, so she didn't dare attack on her own.

"Misses, I wasn't spying on you on purpose. I just happened to pass by and heard the sounds of a fight, so I came to take a look. I meant no offense. Please forgive me," Bi Fan said quickly.

The taller girl stared into Bi Fan's eyes as if she wanted to see right through him.

"Which part of Qingyang Sect are you from? Why did you come to the back mountain?"

Bi Fan hesitated, unsure how to explain himself.

"Miss asked you a question. Why aren't you answering?" The girl holding the long sword glared at him.

Bi Fan told the truth. "I'm a medicine boy in charge of the Medicine Garden. I failed to complete my task, so Zhu San, who manages the Medicine Garden, beat me until I was badly injured and fell unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself in the back mountain."

He didn't mention the Myriad Snake Den. He couldn't.

The taller woman stared at Bi Fan and asked, "You're not lying?"

"No, Miss. Please look into it for yourself!"

"Your eyes are clear. You probably aren't lying. Besides, I can ask around a little when I get back and find out the whole story." The taller woman said, "What's your name?"

"This humble one is Bi Fan."

"Come back to Qingyang Sect with us. If you haven't lied, you can stay on Jade Maiden Peak and help me look after the Medicine Garden."

At the mention of Jade Maiden Peak, Bi Fan was greatly startled.

Jade Maiden Peak was where Yu Si Yan, daughter of Qingyang Sect's Sect Master, Yu Qingyang, cultivated. No one was allowed to enter without Yu Si Yan's permission.

The young woman before him was Yu Si Yan, daughter of Qingyang Sect's Sect Master. Bi Fan had already guessed as much.

Yu Si Yan was not only beautiful enough to topple a kingdom, she was also the greatest talent of Qingyang Sect's younger generation. She had even become a disciple of the Mystic Maiden Palace, one of the nine great orthodox sects of the day.

Yu Si Yan spent most of the year cultivating at the Mystic Maiden Palace and returned to Qingyang Mountain once a year.

Being able to meet Yu Si Yan here was the greatest honor of Bi Fan's life.

"Miss, you really intend to take him to Jade Maiden Peak?" The girl named Xiao Feng grew anxious. She didn't trust Bi Fan.

Yu Si Yan said, "Xiao Feng, when we get back, look into Bi Fan's situation. Don't make a fuss."

"Yes, Miss."

Bi Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had made it past Yu Si Yan. As long as he could get to Jade Maiden Peak, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone checking his identity anymore.

As for Zhu San and the other medicine boys, Bi Fan had no intention of letting them off. Sooner or later, he would make them pay back every bit of suffering they had inflicted on him.

"Let's go. We're going back to Jade Maiden Peak."

Yu Si Yan and Xiao Feng moved very quickly. Though they seemed to glide along with leisurely steps, Bi Fan had to run at full speed just to keep up.

Bi Fan knew the gap between his strength and that of the two young women was enormous.

Yu Si Yan gradually quickened her pace. Seeing that Bi Fan could still barely keep up, she nodded in satisfaction.

She hadn't asked Bi Fan to come to Jade Maiden Peak on a whim. She felt that there was something extraordinary about him, though she couldn't say what.

Yu Si Yan kept Bi Fan on Jade Maiden Peak so she could keep track of his every move from then on.

Qingyang Mountain wasn't a single mountain, but a range encompassing more than a hundred peaks. The main peak, Qingyang Mountain, was the headquarters of Qingyang Sect and the place where its Sect Master cultivated.

Jade Maiden Peak stood fifteen hundred meters tall. Its slopes were lush and green, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Immortal Cranes gathered there, and spiritual energy was abundant. It was an ideal place for secluded cultivation.

Following the winding path, they soon reached the summit of Jade Maiden Peak.

There were only a few bamboo houses at the summit, where several young women chatted and laughed.

When they saw Yu Si Yan return, the girls rose and saluted. "Greetings, Miss."

"You may all leave," Xiao Feng said, waving them away.

The girls scattered at once. As they left, each of them cast a curious glance at Bi Fan.

Men had never been allowed on Jade Maiden Peak. Bi Fan was the first.

When Yu Si Yan returned to Jade Maiden Peak, she went straight into her room and shut the door behind her.

"Bi Fan, find a place for yourself and build a bamboo hut. Remember, you're not one of the people of Jade Maiden Peak yet. If I discover you lied, I'll send you straight down the mountain."

"Yes!" Bi Fan didn't say anything more and went to find a suitable spot to build a bamboo hut.

If he didn't build the hut quickly, he'd have to sleep out in the open that night. The nights on Qingyang Mountain were damp with dew, and the wind was bitterly cold. Sleeping outside was no joke.

Bi Fan soon found a flat patch of ground that was suitable for a hut. It was far from the bamboo house where Yu Si Yan lived, so he wouldn't invite trouble.

Jade Maiden Peak was full of women. Bi Fan avoided them whenever he could.

Bi Fan knew his own place. Yu Si Yan was far beyond his reach, and even a maid like Xiao Feng outranked him by a great deal in both status and strength.

Bi Fan had few other virtues, but at least he knew his own limits.

Besides, Bi Fan could cultivate now. To make things easier when he practiced in the future, he needed to keep some distance from Yu Si Yan and her maids.

Purple Bamboo grew thick across Jade Maiden Peak. Bi Fan gathered what he needed on the spot and, before night fell, finally built a simple bamboo hut. At least now he had somewhere to shelter from the wind and rain.

Bi Fan was satisfied. This was already much better than his life in the Medicine Garden. At least he didn't have to worry about someone messing with him in the middle of the night.

That night, Bi Fan slept soundly and even had a pleasant dream. He dreamed that he became an unrivaled master and married Yu Si Yan.
