Missing Thoughts Literature

Chapter 8 Lady Huanyin (Page 1/2)

Perhaps because she had prior cultivation experience, it took Yun Luo only three days to undergo Qi Induction again.

Feeling her own spiritual power within her body once more, she hugged Zhuaizhai and spun around dozens of times.

In the end, both girl and Pallas's cat vomited their guts out.

Mu He did not give her much time to catch her breath. On the second day after Qi Induction, she began training Yun Luo.

Back at the Heavenly Star Sect, Yun Luo had been an alchemy cultivator, but now, she felt that protecting herself was important.

Thus, aside from the Beguiler Technique, she chose to focus on the Sword Dao.

If she had the energy in the future, she could dabble in other paths as well.

Mu He usually looked all smiles, but when she trained disciples, so long as they did not die, she trained them as though she meant to kill them.

If there was even one part of a sword technique she found unsatisfactory, she made Yun Luo repeat it a hundred, a thousand times.

Under such intensity, Yun Luo felt like she was exhausted into a dog every day.

Fortunately, her senior sisters treated her very well and always remembered to save a share for her whenever they had anything good.

Even the senior sisters from other peaks fed her from time to time.

Pills, talismans, spirit artifacts, and all manner of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—Yun Luo had piled an entire room full of them.

Her senior sisters said she had been spoiled into a sweet girl.

Three years later.

The still-unweaned demon pig traced a perfect parabola through the air.

Yun Luo withdrew her fist and rubbed her slightly numb wrist.

She walked over to the demon pig, removed the Qiankun Pouch from her waist, and put it away inside.

A demon beast was treasure from head to toe; it could not be wasted.

"A fatal strike. You've improved greatly."

Su Xanyu, who had been watching from the sidelines to guard against any accidents, emerged from behind a tree with her hands on her hips. Her sky-blue robe was long and glossy, like porcelain glaze condensed to the bone.

This time, the two had been ordered down the mountain to capture a demon pig causing trouble, but unexpectedly, the demon pig had given birth to piglets.

After Su Xanyu dealt with the adult demon pig, she left the little one to Yun Luo for practice.

Yun Luo did not disappoint expectations and completed it beautifully.

"Third Senior Sister, here."

Yun Luo handed the demon pig's corpse to Su Xanyu. She was an artifact refiner, and these things would serve their greatest purpose in her hands.

Su Xanyu did not stand on ceremony and accepted it. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go have some fun.

Mu He was strict, and there was practically no time to rest within the sect. Only when they went out on missions could they steal half a day of leisure.

At the foot of Hehuan Sect's mountain stood a small town called Xiaoyao Town, sheltered by the sect.

Most of the people living in town were rogue cultivators or disciples who had graduated from the sect. They ran little businesses here, hoping to trade treasures with passing cultivators and find an opportunity for breakthrough.

"Immortal maiden, come have a look! Freshly brewed Jade Dew—it aids sleep and nourishes the complexion, keeping you radiant every day."

"Don't miss it as you pass by! Buy two Spirit Returning Pills, get one free!"

"Bedchamber trinkets, striking straight at the soul of your dual cultivation! Try them yourself—fair to old and young alike!"

"..."

Flirtatious cultivators could be seen everywhere. Once they caught each other's eye, they would casually find an inn and engage in wild dual cultivation.

Yun Luo had seen even more explosive things before and could already keep a straight face.

When she accidentally bumped into a pair of Daoist Companions who were practically chewing each other's mouths to pieces, she calmly apologized.

They did not even spare her a glance, merely shifting a few steps away. Naturally, they did not respond to her either.

Su Xanyu took her on a wild round of fun before finally bringing her to a shop called Wangyou House.

Wangyou House was a shop that sold magic artifacts. Its owner was an outstanding disciple who had graduated from Hehuan Sect, known as Lady Huanyin, with cultivation at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Because of that reputation, Wangyou House was one of the best-performing shops in all of Xiaoyao Town.

When the two entered, the shop was packed with people. Most were rogue cultivators from elsewhere, hoping to buy magic artifacts for self-defense or have their bonded treasures maintained.

Of course, there were also quite a few sect disciples.

Upon seeing them, the shopkeeper hurriedly extricated himself and came over with a smile.

"Immortal Su, Immortal Yun, what rare guests! What brings you here today?"

Knowing he was busy, Su Xanyu did not delay and went straight to the point.

Chapter 8 Lady Huanyin (Page 2/2)

"Senior Sister Liu's magic artifact has been repaired. Entrusted by the sect elders, I brought it over for her today."

The shopkeeper hurriedly led them to a pavilion beside the lake in the backyard. Across from them, three people sat in the pavilion at the center of the lake. Among them, the plump woman dressed in Xiangfei Pink was Lady Huanyin.

"Madam is receiving guests. Please wait a moment, immortal maidens."

Su Xanyu nodded. The shopkeeper had someone bring tea, then went to attend to the front hall.

The three people in the lake pavilion had not set up a Soundproof Formation, and the sounds of their fierce argument reached the two clearly.

"Three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones? Why don't you just go rob someone?"

The handsome youth clutching a spirit sword was red in the face.

"Three thousand is already the lowest price I offered because I saw that you two have exceptional talent and wished to form a good bond. Yours is a heaven-grade spirit sword. Go ask around—what shop would charge you less than four thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones? Some would even dare ask for five thousand."

"But..." Three thousand was still far too expensive.

The handsome youth looked embarrassed. Did she not know sword cultivators were the poorest of all?

"They say a sword is a sword cultivator's wife. You won't even spend a mere three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones on your wife?"

Lady Huanyin sipped her tea while her gaze kept drifting over the two men.

Seeing that the handsome youth could not make up his mind, her eyes rolled.

"How about this? If you, little brother, are willing to dual cultivate with me for a few days, I'll give you a discount of one thousand spirit stones. And if the one beside you..."

Lady Huanyin looked at the person beside the youth.

The youth's companion looked ordinary, but his bearing was anything but. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, cold and detached from the dust of the mortal world—even she could not see through his cultivation.

He looked pure-hearted and free of desire. His primal yang was surely still intact, making him a great tonic.

"If this senior brother of yours is willing to dual cultivate in your place, I won't charge a single coin."

"In your dreams!"

Before the plain-looking man could speak, the handsome youth slapped the table and shot to his feet, his ears red enough to steam.

They said Hehuan Sect was Pansi Cave. Seeing it today, the saying truly lived up to its name. Even the town under the sect's protection was this licentious and wild—wouldn't the Inner Sect devour people whole?

If dual cultivation meant fewer spirit stones, then what exactly was the discounted amount? Payment for whoring?

And besides, why was he only worth one thousand spirit stones while his senior brother was worth three thousand?

"Why are you getting so worked up? What if you smash my table? Can you afford to compensate me?"

As though scalded, the handsome youth pulled back his hand and even inspected it once, terrified that he might damage something and have to pay for it.

"Hmph. Since you two are unwilling to pay spirit stones and unwilling to dual cultivate with me, then I won't see you out."

Lady Huanyin snorted coldly and waved them away.

The two men thought it over and decided to shop around before asking for prices elsewhere.

After they left, Lady Huanyin flew straight toward Yun Luo and Su Xanyu.

"Poor sword cultivators truly waste my time. They even delayed me from meeting my two little sisters."

Lady Huanyin wore a coy expression as she reached out and stroked Yun Luo's smooth, delicate cheek.

Su Xanyu slapped her hand away.

"She is my junior sister, Senior Sister. Don't touch her carelessly."

"All right, all right." Lady Huanyin withdrew her hand, her tone sheepish.

Yun Luo smiled. "It's fine." Being touched by a beautiful sister would not cost her a piece of flesh.

"Our little Xiao Luo'er is still the cutest." Lady Huanyin took the opportunity to give her another pinch.

Su Xanyu snorted and took a lustrous purple jade flute from her Qiankun Pouch.

"The jade flute has been repaired. Two thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones."

Lady Huanyin promptly handed her a Qiankun Pouch containing the spirit stones, then impatiently tested it.

The moment the flute sounded, eight big handsome men with abs and beast ears suddenly appeared before Yun Luo, striking flirtatious poses and teasing her with their tails.

"Sister, I'm nineteen."

"Oh, stop it. I meant my age."

"Sister, do you want to touch my tail?"

"My abs are hard. They get even harder when I shake."

Yun Luo's eyes grew hazy as she reached toward the great beauty...
