- Chapter 151. Becoming Cultivation Partners? The Spiritual-Roots-Excavated Kind (3)
Along the way, 188 witnessed Xie Yunfu teaching Shen Wan, step by step, how to make enemies suffer a fate worse than death, where living is agony and death a luxury. The entire system trembled. This woman was truly too savage.
And those magical treasures Xie Yunfu displayed were each more terrifying and tricky than the last.
“These treasures are all relics from those who once tried to kill me.”
Xie Yunfu’s voice drifted away over the sea surface. Whether it was the sea beasts sensing the danger emanating from this woman or not, they scattered in fear far from the treasure ship.
“You can have them all.”
Xie Yunfu took out the treasures one by one. “I have no use for these. They were all dead before they could use them against me.”
“That doesn’t seem right,” Shen Wan feigned reluctance, but when Xie Yunfu insisted she had no use for them, Shen Wan accepted the treasures, though she seemed to have no use for them either.
But these were gifts from her wife. Refusing outright wouldn’t be good; it might hurt her wife’s pride, making her think Shen Wan looked down on these items.
“Who dug out your spiritual root? Someone from a major sect, or an unorthodox cultivator?” Xie Yunfu hadn’t even noticed that she had initiated conversation with Shen Wan.
If asked a few hours ago, she never would have guessed she’d become like this. Someone wanted to freeload on her ship, yet she wasn’t angry, didn’t drive them away, even gave them magical treasures, and now actively engaged in conversation, asking about their enemies. If this continued, who knew if Xie Yunfu might directly offer to help deal the final blow to Shen Wan’s enemy.
“His name is Yin Jue.”
Yin Jue?” Xie Yunfu paused. “Isn’t that the Sect Leader of the Void Sect?” Then she sneered, “Who would have thought the leader of a righteous sect would do such a heartless thing. Digging out someone’s spiritual root – even demonic cultivators rarely do that.”
“I only found out later that he took me as a disciple just to dig out my spiritual root. His beloved was most suited for a wood spiritual root, and I happened to have a premium one. After all, it was for his beloved, and premium spiritual roots are rare. He could only choose to dig out mine.”
“How ridiculous.” Xie Yunfu chuckled, her bare feet swinging in the air, the bell on her ankle jingling incessantly. “I had heard that Yin Jue indeed had a cousin with mixed spiritual roots, whom he kept hidden in the sect, rarely seen. So she really was his beloved,” she looked down at Shen Wan, “But I never heard he had taken a disciple. It seems he never brought you back to the sect?”
“No, I was an orphan. I met him when I was seven, and he discovered my premium wood spiritual root. He then took me to the mountains. There was a house there, and we lived together in that place for the next seven or eight years.”
“When I was about to form my golden core, he dug out my spiritual root,” Shen Wan spoke of all this very calmly, her small face expressionless. Somehow, it made Xie Yunfu’s heart clench. “He even apologized to me, saying he was sorry, but he had no choice. Because his beloved’s wish was to ascend to immortality with him. He said he would compensate me with everything else, ensure I lived a life of luxury.”
“However, not long after he left, someone came to the cabin to take my life. In desperation, I jumped off a cliff, and finally encountered a miracle. It could be said that great fortune follows great misfortune. Not only did I find a spirit spring to remodel my body, but I also obtained a supreme cultivation method that doesn’t require a spiritual root.”
“This Yin Jue is truly ruthless.” As Xie Yunfu listened, she felt a sense of shared enmity. Her experience entering demonic cultivation was quite similar to Shen Wan’s.
The difference was that the person who adopted her didn’t want to dig out her spiritual root, but to possess her body. However, she had discovered the plot early and was prepared. In the end, it was that person who failed.
Even with preparation, it was still a near-death experience. Her life was truly snatched from the jaws of death.
She knew that for those without cultivation, digging out the spiritual root was likely to damage it. Digging it out before Shen Wan formed her golden core was the best timing. Otherwise, once the golden core formed, the spiritual root would be intimately connected to it. If Shen Wan chose mutual destruction and self-destructed her golden core, it would have been all for nothing.
“Miss Xie, you mentioned earlier that Yin Jue is the Sect Leader of the Void Sect. Do you know how he’s doing now?”
“How else could he be doing? Naturally living a happy life. However,” Xie Yunfu said contemptuously, then paused as she recalled something, “I did hear some rumors recently. Apparently, his cousin has been having some issues with her body. They’ve invited quite a few alchemists to help. If you ask me, it serves them right. Stealing someone else’s spiritual root for cultivation is bound to have consequences.”
“Oh, so they’re not doing well. That’s a relief. If they were living comfortably, I’d be furious.”
Seeing Shen Wan’s angry little face, Xie Yunfu also showed a faint smile. “Yin Jue won’t miss this secret realm opening. He might go in to find spirit pills and herbs to help relieve his precious cousin’s suffering.”
“We can’t let him succeed. Miss Xie, you said earlier that your ship is for loading treasures. It looks quite good. When we get to the secret realm, let’s snatch all the good treasures and load them up.”
Xie Yunfu had the same intention. That Yin Jue was a despicable person; he deserved to fail in getting what he wanted.
Half a day later, they finally arrived at the small island where the secret realm was opening.
As Shen Wan was about to jump off the ship, Xie Yunfu suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Wait a moment. I have another treasure here for you to use.”
Hehe, worthy of being her wife, so considerate.
Xie Yunfu took out what looked like a human skin mask. “This isn’t an ordinary human skin mask. It can block divine sense probes and conceal your own aura.”
Talk about a pillow arriving when one is sleepy. Shen Wan felt her wife was becoming more and more adorable, saving her quite a bit of money this time.
She had originally planned to buy some useful tools later, as some of the things she intended to do couldn’t be recognized by Yin Jue. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be as fun.
“Such a powerful magical treasure. Miss Xie, I feel embarrassed accepting this.” Shen Wan said hypocritically, while already starting to refine the mask.
Xie Yunfu landed barefoot on the ground, glancing back at Shen Wan sitting on the edge of the ship. “Stop with the nonsense. Later, you grab more treasures. When we divide them, you’ll get more.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll refine it quickly.”
188 pondered if something was amiss here.
Half a day ago, weren’t these two discussing whether Xie Yunfu would snap Shen Wan’s neck and kill her in the future?
Now, how had it become about them snatching treasures together and dividing the spoils?
Human thought processes were truly jumpy, very different from his logical system thinking.
Shen Wan refined the mask treasure and attached it to her face. Unless she willed it, no one could remove it.
This treasure was of a very high level. Apart from top-tier experts, no one should be able to discover her true appearance.
She quickly jumped in front of Xie Yunfu, pulling out a pair of embroidered shoes. “Miss Xie, would you like to wear shoes? The ground is so dirty. People might spit, birds and beasts might defecate. It would be bad to step on that.” What if those fair little feet stepped on a pebble and got hurt?
188 really burst out laughing. He suspected Wan Wan wanted to become a lifelong single dog.
Xie Yunfu’s feet were already covered with a layer of spiritual energy. Ordinary sharp objects couldn’t possibly harm her feet. But when Shen Wan mentioned people spitting and birds and beasts defecating, which she might step on, she couldn’t bear to look directly at her feet anymore.
“Thank you, then.”
Xie Yunfu’s expression was very conflicted. Her gaze at Shen Wan became increasingly strange. She suspected this girl’s brain had been hit by a stick sometimes, not quite bright. How could her words sound so crude?
However, when she put on the embroidered shoes, she let out a surprised sound and looked up at Shen Wan with a smile. “So this is actually a magical treasure?”
“Yes, do they look good?”
Xie Yunfu lowered her head, even lifting her skirt slightly with her hand. A pair of blue embroidered shoes adorned her feet, matching her outfit perfectly. She replied, “They look good.” From the moment she put them on, she knew these shoes were something special.
She didn’t go barefoot out of some quirky fashion sense, but due to her cultivation method. When circulating her technique, the soles of her feet would become scorching hot, even burning, which would incinerate ordinary shoes. After all, she practiced demonic techniques, which progress quickly but often have various defects. Once cultivated, unless one nullifies their cultivation, there’s no other way to resolve these issues.
However, this defect also brought her many advantages in battle. Magical treasures couldn’t harm her feet, and whoever she stepped on would have their clothes catch fire. Despite wearing a blue dress, her demonic cultivation was as terrifying as fire. And she herself had a premium fire spiritual root.
The moment Shen Wan’s shoes touched her feet, Xie Yunfu felt a cooling sensation.
“Miss Xie, you should refine them quickly.” Shen Wan watched Xie Yunfu clutching her skirt, pacing back and forth. She seemed delighted to have a pair of beautiful shoes. “Once refined, you can even change their color.”
Since her wife had saved her money, she had secretly glanced at the system mall earlier and saw these indestructible, fireproof and waterproof magical shoes that could change color, perfect for her wife. Although they were expensive, the money saved was spent on her wife, so it wasn’t a waste.
Observing all this, 188 had become calm. Although Wan Wan treated her wife better, they were a long-married couple with deep feelings, naturally closer than his relationship with Wan Wan. Wan Wan had given him full sets of skins and bought couple skins for him to give to system girls in the future. She had been more than kind to him, so he wasn’t jealous at all.
Xie Yunfu refined the magical shoes and then went with Shen Wan to the entrance of the secret realm.
By this time, people were in front of and behind them, rushing towards the entrance.
Finally seeing the entrance to the secret realm, just as the two were about to enter, Xie Yunfu suddenly grabbed Shen Wan. “Look, who’s that?”
