Another Cliché Cultivation Story

“Lihua, were we inside a Formatic earlier?” Xiao Yueyin asked while looking back. There were too many things going on earlier so she wasn’t able to get a look at her surroundings, but after flying away, she noticed there was something odd about that place.

“Yes.” Xia Lihua nodded.

Xiao Yueyin frowned, “So there are more out there… wait, I don’t think I saw a Chaos Tunnel back there.”

She looked at Xia Lihua questioningly.

"Ji Xian had already sealed it before you appeared. That was already the ninth Formatic that we have discovered in the past few months."

“What!” Xiao Yueyin was shaken before a mixed expression appeared on her face, “Is that what you and Ji Xian have been doing these past couple of months?”

“…Yes, along with a few other things.” Xia Lihua became slightly red, and felt a little embarrassed. Currently, she has no intention of telling anyone about her nightly escapades with Ji Xian.

Xiao Yueyin didn’t notice her odd behavior. She nodded her head, “I see…”

So that’s what he’s been doing. Looks like I misunderstood him. But I still don’t understand why he couldn’t go to the Arcane Mountain first to seal the Chaos Tunnel there. She inwardly complained.

Little did she know, Ji Xian is someone who can easily get side-track once he finds something more interesting to do. When he discovered another Formatic on their journey to the Arcane Mountain, he was curious to know if the Three Tongue Gist from that Formatic was different from the one in the ocean and this began the start of his procrastination.

Suddenly, she turns to Xia Lihua, “Wait a minute, Sister, I need to report this back to the Sect.

They stopped flying and Xiao Yueyin took out a small jade tablet. After channeling her True Essence, a blaring voice immediately sounded in her mind,

“YUEYIN! ARE YOU SAFE? WHERE ARE YOU?”

Zeng Shihao’s shouting had her taken aback. But she quickly understood. The people at the Mountain must’ve noticed her disappearance.

The moment Xiao Yueyin finished reforming her body, the vortex in the sky vanished. After waiting for so long and not seeing her exit the immortal cave, Zeng Shihao, along with the others grew worried. Afraid that something might have happened, Zeng Shihao smashed the cave open and flew inside.

There were the remains of the cocoon in the cave but Xiao Yueyin was missing. Unsure of what happened, Zeng Shihao’s anger erupted! It was only after Zongying personally talked to him did he calm down otherwise who knows what he might have done.

Xiao Yueyin inwardly smiled after hearing how worried Zeng Shihao was. Due to their personalities, they don’t usually show their emotions but they both care about each other. She has come to view him as a father figure and he also sees her as a daughter.

Xiao Yueyin immediately explained everything to Zeng Shihao, who was on the verge of flipping the Arcane Mountain upside down.

After a moment of talking back and forth with him, he finally calmed down. Afterward, she talked with Zongying, who breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xiao Yueyin was safe.

“You’re saying this Ji Xian and Xia Lihua found nine more Formatics?” Zongying asked in slight disbelief.

“Yes.”

“…Nine Formatics means nine Chaos Tunnels, including the one at the Mountain, that’s ten Chaos Tunnels.” Zongying frowned. Although it shouldn’t come as a surprise to her since she had already confirmed there were more Chaos Tunnels in Mortal Desolate, the number was still shocking!

Chaos Tunnels are supposed to be a rare natural phenomenon so how can so many show up in the Mortal Desolate World all at one time?

Zongying couldn’t understand and can only inwardly let out a tired sigh, Looks like I’ll have to talk to the Ancestor again.

“Yueyin, are you returning to the Mountain?” She asked.

“Sect Master, I-“

“I thought I told you to call me Senior Sister when we’re alone.”

“Ah, yes. Senior Sister Zongying.” Xiao Yueyin corrected, “I plan to travel with Ji Xian and Xia Lihua for a while.”

“…”

“Looks like the two of them are rather special for you to be behaving so out of character, Yueyin.” Zongying smiled.

Xiao Yueyin has always been a solitary person. The number of people that she considers her friends can be counted on one hand but even then, she rarely meets with them. Other than frequently going into seclusion to cultivate and handling affairs of the Sect, she rarely wanders outside the Mountain.

“…Yes, they are.” Xiao Yueyin didn’t deny it.

…

A moment later.

She put away the small jade tablet and looked at Xia Lihua, “Where are we headed now?”

“Ji Xian mentioned a Sect a hundred kilometers to the north. We’ll go there.”

“That’s…”

“What’s the matter?” Xia Lihua asked.

Xiao Yueyin shook her head, “If I’m not mistaken, we’re currently in the Ardent Region. To the north, should be the Ardent Yin Sect.”

Xia Lihua lifted an eyebrow, “Oh? Wha-“

“What a coincidence!” Ji Xian suddenly appeared and finished her sentence.

A dashing smile was on his face as he stood between the two women. He looked ahead with anticipation.

A sect that’s full of beautiful women! This is like every man’s dream…

Xia Lihua can instantly tell what he was thinking, making her feel a little annoyed. She inwardly rolled her eyes.

Xiao Yueyin was staring at Ji Xian in a daze. His bright, handsome smile caused her heart to flutter. He suddenly turned to look at her and she immediately looked away embarrassingly.

Ji Xian laughed.

“Hmph!” Xia Lihua cutely snorted, “Stop teasing her.”

Xiao Yueyin shook her head, “We should go.”

“Wait.”

Just as Ji Xian was about to take off, Xia Lihua stopped him. She looked at him with a smirk, “Wear your veil. You should stay in character as my servant when we’re there.”

His mouth twitched upon hearing this, “I lost it.”

“Yueyin, give him your veil.”

“But…” Xiao Yueyin was hesitant but eventually did as she was told. She blushed after seeing Ji Xian begrudgingly wearing her veil.

Seeing this, Xia Lihua nodded with satisfaction.

“Let’s go! To the Ardent Yin Sect!”

She and Xiao Yueyin flew away while Ji Xian followed with a wry smile.
