Chapter 597: Chapter 590 Maid Miaoo Yu

Ye Zhen’s maid, Hundred Herbs, had died—which, ordinarily, within the Martial Artist Spirit Institute of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, wasn’t an uncommon occurrence. Furthermore, due to the disparity in status, even if more maids died within the institute, nobody would bother to inquire.

However, the timing of Hundred Herbs’ death under Ye Zhen’s service was too coincidental, especially since it happened last night when the leak of the Defense Map occurred, and she died unnaturally!

Therefore, the deacons of the Punishment Hall came knocking.

After all, this was still the aftermath of last night’s incident. Even though the Sun and Moon Divine Sect didn’t suffer much loss last night, there were still many unsolved mysteries, such as who really killed Liu Hong... among others, hence the Punishment Hall had to continue their investigation.

It just so happened that today, Qingyue Feng reported the unnatural death of Hundred Herbs, and the deacons of the Punishment Hall sniffed out something and came knocking.

Those guys from the Punishment Hall, with their deadpan faces, weren’t they just Evil Guests?

Even when questioning Ye Zhen in the company of Qingyue Feng, they were still ferociously intimidating. Their demeanor seemed as if they wanted to conduct a Soul Search on Ye Zhen right away and strip out all his secrets.

However, all they could do was ask questions.

The death of a maid really couldn’t implicate much, especially since Ye Zhen had notified Qingyue Feng, the Moonlight Hall Master, at the first opportunity; from a procedural standpoint, nothing was amiss.

What alarmed Ye Zhen was that the Punishment Hall’s capability was truly not minor; this investigation was extremely meticulous. They even discovered that Ye Zhen had gone out last night.

If Ye Zhen were to respond as usual, he feared that things would become convoluted.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen had considered this issue beforehand and his reply was simple—he had gone out to meet an old friend, and after he returned, Hundred Herbs had tragically died, whether by thievery or some other misfortune.

He had reversed the sequence of Hundred Herbs’ death and his departure from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

With this, everything seemed reasonable.

As for who exactly Ye Zhen went out to meet, he outright refused to answer that question—it was his privacy.

Even though the Punishment Hall was domineering, they hadn’t reached the extent of probing such personal secrets yet.

After sending off the deacons of the Punishment Hall, Ye Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qingyue Feng, however, was staring fixedly at Ye Zhen, hesitantly, as if wanting to say something yet stopping herself.

"What?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Be more vigilant recently and be careful, as something seems very off within the Divine Sect lately! Several have died mysteriously within the last half year... Something might happen!"

Leaving that statement behind, her shadow flickered, and Qingyue Feng departed, while Ye Zhen frowned—it didn’t quite add up, there seemed to be more to Qingyue Feng’s words!

"Could it be that Qingyue Feng has realized something?"

In his doubt, Ye Zhen then wryly shook his head. Regarding last night’s events, although not impeccable, they certainly couldn’t be traced back to him, Ye Zhen, nor was there any evidence.

Of course, in the eyes of a true powerhouse, what does evidence matter? If they decided it was so, then it was so!

Just like how Hanjing Yua suspected that Ye Zhen was the murderer who killed her brother Huaisong Yua. Once she believed it, that was the reality, regardless if you had evidence showing you weren’t there—it didn’t count!

Ultimately, it’s a matter of power!

With great power comes the capability to dictate the rules.

Ye Zhen’s current strength was barely enough for self-protection, but if he wanted to dictate his own rules, he still fell short and needed to work harder.

Ye Zhen had two means to enhance his strength at present, one was to improve his Cultivation!

As long as his Cultivation improved, the prowess of Ye Zhen’s Martial Skills would naturally increase. If Ye Zhen could break through from the Third Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to the Fourth Stage, and if his Spiritual Power could become more robust by fifty percent and more condensed by twenty percent, his strength would naturally increase.

The other avenue was to elevate the realm of his Martial Skills. The Martial Skill Ye Zhen was currently cultivating was the Shattered Jade Scripture, which he had recently advanced to the Purple Jade Realm.

Normally, having just broken through to the Purple Jade Realm, Ye Zhen shouldn’t think about progressing further for a short time. However, the Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Realm, unlike the earlier three stages, differed significantly.

The first three stages of the Shattered Jade Scripture required massive accumulations to break through, but the Fourth Stage emphasized an understanding of the principle!

Once it’s comprehended, one could break through; if not, one could practice for a lifetime and still not achieve a breakthrough.

Since breaking through to the Purple Jade Realm a few months back, Ye Zhen had been dedicating two hours each day to contemplate the Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Realm. Yet, up to now, Ye Zhen still hadn’t gleaned anything.

He still hadn’t found a way into the Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Realm.

However, Ye Zhen was not discouraged.

If it were so easy to advance to the Shattered Jade Realm, that would indeed be odd! The Purple Jade Realm was already so fearsome, so how formidable would the Shattered Jade Realm be?

Ye Zhen couldn’t predict, so after arranging a proper funeral for Hundred Herbs, he resumed his arduous training, spending most of each day practicing. As usual, Ye Zhen spent two hours each day cultivating the Secret Record of Soul Refining and another two hours contemplating the Fourth Stage of the Shattered Jade Scripture.

Although he had not grasped any particular method, Ye Zhen understood the principle that constant dripping wears away the stone.

But just a few days into his cultivation, Ye Zhen felt it was quite inconvenient!

The cultivation in the True Spirit Domain was different from that in the Black Dragon Domain; in the Black Dragon Domain, one only needed to cultivate. Although martial artists still needed to eat and drink, as long as they prepared enough dry food and clean water, they could endure in seclusion for months without leaving their homes.

However, it was different in the True Spirit Domain. In this domain, various spirit plants could assist in enhancing one’s cultivation. Although the effect of consuming various spirit plants in a single day seemed very weak, the effects accumulated over the years could be extremely astonishing.

It was somewhat similar to the saying that even the longest journey begins with a single step. The difference in cultivation with the aid of various spirit plants might not be apparent within half a year or even most of the year.

But if one or two or even three to four years passed, there would be a significant difference between martial artists who cultivated with the aid of spirit plants and those who did not.

The problem was, spirit plants were not something you could simply buy and swallow to be effective.

For example, the Seven Marvelous Spirit Rice needed to be soaked in the water from a spiritual spring within the mountain’s spirit veins for a day, then boiled with martial fire and steamed on a gentle flame through five steps. Only then could the various benefits contained within be stimulated, and taking it afterward would be effective!

If consumed directly, it would be no different from ordinary food and soon become part of the cycle of the five grains.

The same goes for spiritual tea; the process is also complex, unlike ordinary tea leaves that can be brewed and drunk immediately. It requires boiling and several other steps, a total of seven processes before it can be transformed into drinkable spiritual tea.

Previously, Hundred Herbs had always prepared spiritual tea for Ye Zhen to drink directly, but Ye Zhen had seen Hundred Herbs prepare spiritual tea, and it was impossible to prepare it properly within less than two hours.

Not to mention other special spirit plants, each type of spirit plant has its unique cooking method, which is necessary to fully stimulate the energy contained within, otherwise, consuming them directly would also be in vain.

Previously, with Hundred Herbs around, these things were all managed by Hundred Herbs, and Ye Zhen just needed to open his mouth. Now that Hundred Herbs had been killed, although Ye Zhen had avenged him, these chores were extremely cumbersome and took up a lot of cultivation time.

It didn’t take many days for Ye Zhen to become annoyed.

As the Inner Affairs Hall had not yet sent a new maid, Ye Zhen was about to urge them when,

Right at that moment, a deacon from the Inner Affairs Hall visited.

"Chief Ye, please forgive us. The trained maids have been in short supply these days, and we’ve only managed to send one over today. We apologize for the delay!" After apologizing, the deacon from the Inner Affairs Hall clapped his hands lightly, and a young girl dressed in lake-green attire approached gracefully.

Seeing this young girl, Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, somewhat dazed.

It wasn’t for any other reason, but mainly because the appearance of this maid was too stunning. Compared to the previous Hundred Herbs, it was like night and day.

Her skin was creamy, with an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, especially her shy and timid expression, which spontaneously evoked a sense of pity.

Although her expression was shy and timid, her figure was very appealing, curvy in all the right places, not inferior to Qingyue, like a ripe peach, irresistible in its temptation to be bitten into.

This appearance, among the maids of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, was supreme.

But even so, the next words of the Inner Affairs Hall deacon startled Ye Zhen once again.

"Chief Ye, this girl is named Miaoo Yu, specially arranged by the Inner Affairs Hall for Chief Ye. Are you satisfied?" Speaking thus, the steward from the Inner Affairs Hall winked at Ye Zhen. "Miaoo Yu is still a virgin, and you’re free to enjoy her company as you please!"

Upon those words, Miaoo Yu’s face turned beet-red, and she almost wished she could bury her head in her chest.

"This... thank you very much!" Even though Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised, he still thanked the steward and personally escorted him out of the entrance.

Returning, Ye Zhen began to wonder, since when did the Inner Affairs Hall of the Divine Sect need to curry favor with him, a mere chief of the Moonlight Hall?

A maid with the appearance of Miaoo Yu, most of the time, would be sent to pay respects to the higher-ups of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect or to powerful individuals in the Vein Forging Realm. How could it be Ye Zhen’s turn, a martial artist from the Moonlight Hall?

It was only proper for a maid like the previous Hundred Herbs to be sent to Ye Zhen.

But having sent over Miaoo Yu, an exceptional beauty and still a virgin, this was unscientific.

However, doubts aside, Ye Zhen still accepted her.

Naturally, Ye Zhen was not afraid of any trouble beautiful women might bring; considering she was a pleasure to the eye and crucially, Ye Zhen needed someone to handle various mundane tasks.

Being beautiful, Miaoo Yu was exceptionally good at managing all kinds of chores, and soon, Ye Zhen’s cultivation life was back on track.

However, Miaoo Yu had only stayed in Ye Zhen’s yard for a few days when Ye Zhen noticed something was not quite right.

That evening, when Miaoo Yu had prepared the spiritual tea and invited Ye Zhen to enjoy it, as soon as Ye Zhen approached and sat down, he saw an expanse of snow-white cleavage, the deep valley at her chest kneeling in front of the small table, her figure even more explosive, which involuntarily made Ye Zhen’s mouth dry and his pulse race, feeling an urge to pounce on her and pin Miaoo Yu to the ground right there!

"Young master, please enjoy your tea!"

Miaoo Yu leaned slightly forward, her arms like white lotus roots holding out a cup of spiritual tea to Ye Zhen. This leaning motion caused her ample, surging cleavage to spill forward, directly captivating Ye Zhen’s eyes and accelerating his breathing, his blood surging, with a strong impulse to throw himself at her immediately!(To be continued.
