Bai Feixue

"Master, have you heard?"

"The Cultivation World's greatest beauty is coming to Phoenix City. So, want to go check out the excitement?"

It was a beautiful morning.

Li Shouyi sat by the window, enjoying the scenery, until Su Wan'er burst into his room and utterly ruined his good mood.

Looking at Su Wan'er, who was sprawled beside his legs like a pet, Li Shouyi took a deep breath to suppress the urge to strangle the idiot. "Get out. Knock before you come back in."

"Huh?"

The little pet ran outside and closed the door.

Bang...

"Master, are you going to Phoenix City?"

Looking at the shattered door, Li Shouyi felt the corner of his eye twitch. Then he roared at Su Wan'er, "I'm going to burn you to death today, you unfilial disciple!"

And so Wu Suowei and the other disciples once again witnessed a scene they loved to see.

A handsome young man kept setting fires as he chased a young woman.

At noon.

Li Shouyi stood on the completed arena platform and addressed the disciples below. "Keep working on the sect today. I'm taking your senior sisters out to buy supplies."

"Remember this: if you run into danger, turn tail and run. Never fight one-on-one when you can gang up on someone. Never show mercy when you can strike to kill."

"Understood?"

"Yes, Master."

Li Shouyi had never intended to take so many disciples, but he had been driven like a duck onto a perch and forced to swallow that bitter fruit.

Still, he was not the sort to leave his disciples to fend for themselves, so he planned to visit Phoenix City today and buy a few Golden Core cultivation manuals to teach them.

It also happened to fulfill Su Wan'er and the other two women's wishes, letting him take them out for some fun.

A short while later, four streaks of light flew from the mountaintop toward Phoenix City.

Phoenix City was rumored in ancient times to be the burial place of the divine phoenix.

As for who had first spread that story, no one could say anymore.

But the city truly was scorching hot.

That had led to countless bathhouses opening throughout the city.

Today, the arrival of Bai Feixue, the Cultivation World's greatest beauty, sent all of Phoenix City into a frenzy.

Bai Feixue was a young woman of sixteen. Despite cultivating for ten years, she was still in the Qi Refining realm.

The Bai Family had sought out countless renowned physicians and master healers for their daughter, feeding her countless treasures of heaven and earth.

Yet she still could not break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Perhaps heaven was fair after all: it had given her beauty unrivaled throughout the world, but stripped her of any talent for cultivation.

That did nothing to diminish Bai Feixue's standing in the Cultivation World, however.

Because she was simply too beautiful.

"Wow, Master, look! That's Bai Feixue!"

"I see her, I see her. Now let go of my arm. Your chest is digging into me."

"You're making things up, Master! Bao'er said my turn signals were really soft."

"Heh. She must have been talking in her sleep!"

At that moment, Li Shouyi stood atop a tall building with Bao'er in his arms and his three disciples beside him, watching the figure dancing gracefully on the platform ahead.

As he watched that white-clad figure, Li Shouyi frowned.

How should he put it?

There was something strange about that woman. Her aura brimmed with tremendous magical power, yet her cultivation realm was extremely low.

Logically speaking, if someone's magical power exceeded what their body could contain, there could only be one outcome.

That immense magical power would blast them to pieces.

So Li Shouyi wondered how Bai Feixue managed to withstand such immense, violently raging magical power.

"Feixue, I love you! Look over here!"

"Get lost! Feixue is mine. Piss in a puddle and look at your sorry reflection. Why would she ever fall for an ugly bastard like you?"

"Come on, gentlemen, make some room. I want to get to the front and see my goddess."

"Piss off!"

On the raised platform, that lovely figure's graceful dancing had utterly bewitched the young men below.

"Master? Master?"

Li Shouyi saw that Su Wan'er had suddenly stepped in front of him and was waving her hand before his eyes.

"Do you want to spend a few days living in my pill furnace?"

"Hehe, Master, and you said you didn't like beautiful women. You were completely mesmerized just now."

"Get away from me. I've never seen you act normal for even a minute."

Holding Bao'er snugly in his arms, Li Shouyi turned and headed downstairs.

He did not know whether it was because Bao'er had taken Lin Shuishui as her master.

But she had somehow caught her habit of excessive sleeping too.

Only after spending the past few days constantly winning Bao'er over with snacks had he finally gotten the little girl to warm to him.

Bao'er was different from other children her age. Having been malnourished since early childhood, she was especially small.

She looked much like a little girl of five or six.

That was why Li Shouyi could carry her in his arms.

"Hey, hey, Master, don't leave!"

Seeing him head downstairs, the three women hurried after him.

"Let's find something to eat. It's already afternoon."

Li Shouyi intended to wake Bao'er for a meal. The girl was far too malnourished.

He had no faith whatsoever in those treasures of heaven and earth.

Of course, he had a little selfish motive in this too.

Li Shouyi did not want Bao'er to grow up so quickly. After all, no doting father wanted his daughter to grow up too fast.

Their group went to the largest restaurant in the city.

With a wealthy woman like Su Wan'er among them, they had no need to worry about the cost.

Inside a private dining room, Li Shouyi finally asked something he had wanted to know for a long time.

"My disciple, just how much money did your father give you?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that, Master?"

"I'm just curious. Besides, I've noticed that your Spatial Ring seems rather unusual."

"Hehe, you're slow on the uptake."

"My father commissioned the Forge God Hall to make this Twin-Soul Mother-and-Child Ring specially. Mine is the child ring."

"My father has the mother ring. The two rings share a single storage space, so I don't need my father to give me money at all."

Su Wan'er's explanation left Li Shouyi dumbfounded.

Good grief. No wonder the girl never ran out of Spirit Stones.

Her father was stuffing more inside every day!

While they were enjoying their meal, someone suddenly barged through the door.

A young man arrogantly addressed them. "Here's a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. I'm buying this private room from you."

"I want to host Fairy Bai Feixue for a meal."

The room immediately fell silent.

Li Shouyi and the women stared blankly at the young man.

"Not enough? Here's another hundred thousand. Take it and get lost."

Li Shouyi smiled and stopped Su Wan'er before she could lose her temper, then smiled at the young man. "Sure, no problem."

With that, he picked up the two Storage Bags on the table and motioned for the women to follow.

As he passed through the doorway, Li Shouyi's eyes suddenly lit up. He addressed the lovely figure standing outside. "Would you like to solve your problem with being unable to break through?"

At those unexpected words, the previously sulking Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up.

Looks like I misjudged Master after all, she thought.

To think he'd steal another man's girl right in front of him.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Li Shouyi's words, a faint glimmer appeared in Bai Feixue's eyes.
