Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Shao Qinglian momentarily hesitated at Ji Xian’s words.

Her eyes moved to Fang Yu’s frail, motionless body laying on the bed made of ice and the pain in her heart intensified.

“As long as you can heal my Junior Sister then the Ardent Yin Sect will happily give you what you want.” She said strongly declared.

Ji Xian smiled, “Good.”

What he wanted, was obviously access to the library of the Ardent Yin Sect. In truth, Ji Xian didn’t care if Shao Qinglian agreed or not, he would’ve sneaked in sooner or later. It’s only just that with her permission, it would save him the hassle of doing so.

“…”

Xiao Yueyin’s eyes narrowed into a slit as she carefully watched him. She silently muttered to herself, “Asshole…”

Xia Lihua stood next to Xiao Yueyin and rubbed her temples. Naturally, she knew Ji Xian’s goal. She didn’t necessarily disapprove of what he was doing, after all, at least this time he’s got consent.

Ji Xian didn’t know what the two women were thinking. Instead, he turned to Fang Yu and spoke in a low voice, “How lucky you are to have met me in your lifetime.”

He proceeded to hover his hand above her abdomen, then slowly slide it upwards, passing her breasts and her throat before stopping at her mouth.

Shao Qinglian and Xiao Yueyin watched him questioningly from the side. Ji Xian’s action was just too simple, all he did was moved his hand. He wasn’t even touching Fang Yu. What was he even doing?

As they were skeptically watching him, their eyes widened in shock as a pitch-black liquid emerged from between Fang Yu’s lips and collects itself into a ball below Ji Xian’s palm.

A look of disdain appeared on Xia Lihua’s face when she saw this familiar black water.

“What is that?” Asked Xiao Yueyin.

Shao Qinglian was also confused. She has never seen this black liquid before but just from its aura, she knew it was anything but simple. Using Ji Xian’s words, the liquid exuded an uncomfortable aura of death and decay. Just looking at it was actually making her feel uneasy!

Whatever this liquid was, she was confident that she has never seen it before in the Mortal Desolate World!

“…”

Ji Xian didn’t answer Xiao Yueyin. He silently watched as the ball of black liquid became larger. After a couple of minutes, it became the size of a golf ball and the last drop of the liquid finally came out of Fang Yu.

Shao Qinglian softly breathed out an air of relief when she saw this.

I can’t believe something like that was inside Junior Sister. I’ve inspected her body multiple times but I’ve never sensed any abnormality. Even Physician Yue Li and the others didn’t know about it!

Yet… this man was able to see it immediately…

Shao Qinglian looked at Ji Xian with mixed emotions. All the time she has spent to try and cure Fang Yu with no results but then this man appeared out of nowhere and was able to easily heal her. It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t curious about him.

She watched as Ji Xian stood up with his back facing her. When she saw that he was suddenly untying the veil on his face, her heart raced. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to see his appearance because of where she was standing.

When she saw what he did next, she gasped, as did Xiao Yueyin. Even Xia Lihua raised an eyebrow.

Ji Xian pulled off the veil before casually putting the ball of liquid into his mouth and swallowing it. He tied the veil back on his face and then turned around to look at their dumbfounded expression.

“Wha… what are you doing, you idiot!” Xiao Yueyin exclaimed, “Spit it out!”

She appeared right in front of him and started grabbing his face out of panic.

Ji Xian chuckled and didn’t bother to dodge. He glanced at Xia Lihua, “I’m disappointed, Lihua. How come you don’t worry about me like this?”

“You’re the last person I need to worry about in the Lower World.” Xia Lihua rolled her eyes before smiling, “How did it taste?”

“Bitter, almost like coffee…”

“Coffee? What’s that?”

“It’s… hey, are you done groping me?” He directed his gaze at Xiao Yueyin.

Her hands were underneath the veil. She was weirdly stroking his face while at the same time trying to pry his mouth open.

Wow, his skin is so smooth. I think it’s even smoother than mine, how ridiculous!

This idiot, why isn’t he opening his mouth? Why would he swallow something like that… I got nervous just at the sight of it.

“Huh? Groping?” Xiao Yueyin snapped out of her thoughts and blushed when she heard Ji Xian.

“Hmph! You can die for all I care.” She pulled back her hands and quickly walked away.

Shao Qinglian saw a glimpse of Xiao Yueyin’s scarlet face and a light flashed in her eyes. How can she not understand what that expression meant? Especially when Xiao Yueyin was being so blatant about it.

Does the Dragon Saintess actually like this man…? Sigh… with all the geniuses in the world trying to court her, Mortal Desolate will definitely erupt if news of this gets out.

I think I should stay away from him, even I’m starting to get drawn in and we only just met. His attraction is too dangerous.

“Senior Ji Xian, is Junior Sister Fang Yu going to be all right now?” She asked.

“Yes.” Ji Xian nodded, “But she will need some nourishment.”

He took out a pill and casually threw it at Shao Qinglian, “Here, give this to her.”

“What’s this?”

She examined the pretty sky-blue pill in her hand while also using her spiritual sense to inspect it.

She sucked in a mouthful of air after seeing how little impurity it contained.

Ji Xian shook his head, “I don’t know the name. Someone gave it to me.”

Xia Lihua awkwardly scratch her cheeks when she heard him, she muttered, “More like you took it without them knowing…”

“Huh?”

“Nothing.”

Ji Xian smiled, “Alright, the matter is resolved.”

“Don’t forget, you owe me one, Qinglian.”

Shao Qinglian was caught off guard by the intimate way he said her name. Usually, you would only do this to someone you’re close to!

“Uh, yes. I will keep my word, Senior.”

Ji Xian walked past her and headed for the door, “And stop calling me that, my name’s Ji Xian.”

“…”

Xia Lihua nodded and followed him out.

“Sect Master Shao, this Junior will also take her leave.” Xiao Yueyin bowed before hurriedly going after them.

Shao Qinglian stared at their backs in a daze. Even after they left she could still hear Xiao Yueyin’s voice outside.

“Ji Xian, what was that black liquid?”

“Oh? Do you really want to know?”

“Stop being mysterious and tell me!”

“Fine, fine… that pitch-black liquid is Nether Water.”
