City Lord's Mansion (Part 1)

"Mm..."

"Could you not..."

Xiao Mei spoke softly. She did not want to give up her first time in some little alley, and the man before her was such a philanderer that she absolutely could not give it to him.

No matter how valuable a Medicine Master was, what use was it if he did not truly love her?

To be toyed with at will, then discarded?

She did not want her life to end up like that...

The lecherous look in Liu Xi's eyes only intensified as he watched Xiao Mei's seemingly reluctant yet welcoming manner. Her petite appearance utterly captivated him.

Xiao Mei had clearly been trying to push Liu Xi away. Where was this "reluctant yet welcoming" behavior? But with only her Dou Qi cultivation, how could she possibly push him aside?

Yet in Liu Xi's eyes, it was "reluctant yet welcoming." His hands roamed all over her as he tried to untie the sash around her waist.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a soft sigh. In the end, she was still a good person. How could she allow someone like this to continue existing?

A faint violet gleam flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. Her delicate brows furrowed as she murmured, "Imperial Sword Technique!"

Xiao Yi Xian pressed two fingers together as the Dou Qi within her body circulated along an inexplicable path—

Crack!

The Sword Box on her back trembled. You Su shot from its sheath in an instant, its edge brushing past the Sword Box as the longsword gave a soft, lingering hum beside her ears.

Whoosh!

A silver-white sword swept through Liu Xi's head before Xiao Mei's astonished eyes. Scalding blood instantly soaked her dress.

Thud!

A headless corpse in green robes collapsed to the ground. A round object rolled to a stop nearby, its eyes still wearing that disgusting expression from before.

"Ah!"

Xiao Mei screamed at the sight before her. A flower raised in a greenhouse would still be a flower, no matter how strong it became.

Xiao Yi Xian shook the blood from You Su with some distaste before putting it away. She still remembered posting back then: "If I transmigrate into Battle Through the Heavens, the first thing I'll do is kill Liu Xi. Filthy person.

"As a veteran reader of ten years, I know every trope there is. I'll hold Xun Er in my left arm, Queen Medusa in my right, with Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran behind me."

Now that she had truly transmigrated here, she could no longer fulfill her greatest wish from her previous life, nor could she ever see her adorable daughter again.

"Life really does have its ups and downs!"

Xiao Yi Xian elegantly leaped down from the wall and left.

Xiao Mei stared blankly at Xiao Yi Xian's white figure. That mask like a ghost's face, that silver-white sword—she could never forget them. They were deeply carved into her heart.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Yes, the "City Lord's Mansion"!

Every city actually had a city lord, yet there had not been a single plotline involving the City Lord's Mansion in the original novel.

Even the three great families of Wu Tan City had all been active, while this City Lord's Mansion alone seemed to stand apart from the flock, making no moves whatsoever.

If she had not happened to walk here, she might never have remembered that the City Lord's Mansion even existed.

It was simply too obscure, with no sense of presence at all.

As she looked at the tightly shut gates, an inexplicable craving arose within her body. That strangely familiar feeling made her delicate brows furrow slightly.

There was definitely something within this City Lord's Mansion drawing her in, and it had to be highly toxic. Otherwise, her Calamity Poison Body would not have reacted so strongly.

Even from this small area, she could sense experts inside, at least Da Dou Shi or above.

With her current strength, even with You Su, a Three-star Fighter like her could at most be invincible among Dou Zhes.

This was the advantage she had in Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques. Her Cultivation Method gave her the foundation to fight above her level, while her Dou Techniques gave her the strength to do so.

The highest tier in Wu Tan City was only Mystic-tier. On the Dou Qi Continent, Cultivation Methods were divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow tiers, and the difference between each tier was enormous.

It seemed she would have to take a stroll around the City Lord's Mansion tonight and cause a little trouble while she was at it.

She did not have the protagonist's constitution for attracting enemies and trouble, but she did have the urge to actively stir up trouble!

Xiao Yi Xian lightly wound a lock of her long violet hair around her fingers, still intoxicated by the faint medicinal fragrance.

After the last rays of sunset faded, Xiao Yi Xian walked toward the Xiao Family, stepping on her own shadow. With a practiced climb over the wall, she entered the Xiao Family grounds.

"Xiao Yan, I've come to find you!"

Xiao Yi Xian pushed open Xiao Yan's door and entered. What greeted her was a large basin, within whose green spiritual liquid sat a figure in meditation.

"Hmm?"

"Ah..."

Standing outside the door, Xiao Yi Xian looked speechlessly at the silver moon that had just risen and complained, "He's not even a woman. Why is he screaming like that?"

Medicine Elder drifted over, squinting as he chuckled. "Girl, why aren't you reacting at all?"

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at the shameless old man. What was she supposed to say?

Could she say that she had looked at that strangely familiar body for eighteen years?

Could she say she was not interested in men?

Medicine Elder drifted back and forth in front of Xiao Yi Xian, leaving her forehead full of dark lines.

Looking at Medicine Elder, who had lived for centuries yet still looked like some pretty boy, she did not know why she wanted to slap him.

"Ahem!"

Xiao Yan came over after getting dressed. Xiao Yi Xian's sudden entrance had truly startled him just now, and he had nearly suffered a cultivation deviation.

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan and said, "I'm borrowing Medicine Elder. I'll return him later!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Yan was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing that. What was this supposed to mean?

"You didn't come to find him?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Yao Chen, who was still floating around, and a dark line flashed across her forehead. She reached out, grabbed the Storage Ring drifting beneath Medicine Elder, then smilingly used Soul Power to stuff Yao Chen inside.

The Yao Chen she had just stuffed in promptly floated back out, grinning as he said, "Don't worry, I'll block the Storage Ring's connection to the outside. I don't know anything..."

Before Yao Chen could finish speaking, Xiao Yi Xian stuffed Medicine Elder back inside again. She did it over and over several times.

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched as he watched the scene. Such a brutal girl—just as expected of his fellow countrywoman.

He could not help thinking of Xiao Xun'er again. That gentle, considerate little sister was completely different from the girl before him.

It was as though that "Brother Xiao Yan" was still lingering in his mind...

"Pah, pervert!"

Xiao Yi Xian cast a contemptuous glance at Xiao Yan, who was drooling there. What was he thinking about at a time like this?

"Ahem, knock before you come into my room next time!" Xiao Yan said with an awkward cough.

"My fellow countryman, what did you even see? I don't think it was anything special. If anything, you were the one who benefited, right?" Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile, faint violet Dou Qi emanating from her hand.

"Right, right, right!"

Xiao Yan suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories and repeatedly agreed with lingering fear. Besides, Earth in his previous life had been far too open-minded. Male bodies really were not all that attractive.

If a man ran naked through the streets, he would definitely draw attention. But if he was bathing, most people would probably just laugh and point out his flaws...

For example, no muscles, no abs, a poor figure, bad skin—nothing remotely as explosive as a girl's body...

Xiao Yi Xian shook the ring in her hand and left. Watching her departing back, Xiao Yan could not help recalling the daytime...

During the day, Xiao Ning had no idea what fit had taken him, charging furiously into Xiao Yan's room. He had knocked, but that knock had directly smashed the door apart...
