Chapter 151: Chapter 150 Yuanzhi

I don’t know what kind of skill Cheng Xiaozhu has, but in just the time it takes to eat a meal, she’s calling Xiao Baoqin sister, holding hands and being as intimate as best friends.

On the other hand, Shi Gui clearly doesn’t trust her. Not only does she refuse to reveal her identity to meet, but she also simply hides in her room pretending to be a maid and doesn’t come out.

Xiao Baoqin is much more magnanimous though. Perhaps in the eyes of noble families, it’s no big deal for a man to have seventeen or eighteen concubines or for a woman to have fifty or sixty paramours. She even cheerfully expresses,

"Liu Lang, don’t worry. I understand that distance makes the heart grow fonder. The top-notch bedroom is ready for you and Junior Sister Cheng. Feel free to rest. Oh, and would you like some Yangquan Wine to spice things up..."

"No need."

Tie Dan emotionlessly declined.

"Brother Liu, there are so many things I want to tell you..."

Taking advantage of her intoxication, Cheng Xiaozhu snuggled into Tie Dan’s arms, secretly pinching his hand.

Tie Dan almost shook her off.

"...I’ll take her to rest."

Xiao Baoqin covered her mouth and laughed,

"Alright, alright, I’ll steer the ship. You two can rest assured and whisper your secrets; no one will disturb you."

So Tie Dan, with a cold face, hauled Cheng Xiaozhu over his shoulder like a sack and stomped downstairs.

Watching him stride off, a warm breeze brushed past Xiao Baoqin’s face, making her blush and her heart race. She thought, wow, Liu Lang is so wild, surely he’s been pushed to his limits by her repeated teasing. I wonder how long he can last...

Entering the inner cabin bedroom, Tie Dan coldly tossed Cheng Xiaozhu on the floor, closed the door, and stuck on a soundproof talisman.

When he turned back, Cheng Xiaozhu was already sitting upright on the bed, straightening her clothes, and bowed with respect,

"Nine Heavenly Mysterious Lady, Saint Mother Yuanjun, Great Heavenly Lord, Qingtang Sect disciple Xing Yuanzhi, thanks Senior Brother for your assistance."

Tie Dan frowned,

"What Yuanzi Zhuzi, what’s your actual name."

Lord Xiao and the Kun sat to the side, cracking sunflower seeds as they watched the show, shaking their heads and sighing at the words,

"What is Yuanzi Zhuzi, it’s ’Yuan you Zhi xi Li you Lan, Si Gong Zi xi Wei Gan Yan.’"

What a beautiful name, it’s like a cow chewing peony flowers!

Tie Dan glared at him.

Xing Yuanzhi smiled,

"Senior Brother sure likes to joke; Xing Yuanzhi is really my name. To infiltrate the Snow Mountain Palace and conceal the Heavenly Mechanism, I used a Secret Technique to borrow a fake body.

I imagine Senior Brother is also using an alias?"

Tie Dan unemotionally responded,

"No, I’m just called Liu Xiaoliu, from the Guangxia Mountain Swallow Cave. Have you heard of it?"

Xing Yuanzhi froze for a moment,

"Senior Brother truly is... skilled and bold... no wonder you’re capable of slaying a Nascent Soul True Man and preventing the Demon Ancestor’s descent. Yuanzhi is impressed."

Tie Dan’s gaze instantly sharpened,

"How do you know about this?"

Xing Yuanzhi blushed,

"From you, Senior Brother... there’s a scent that others don’t have... it was what Princess Xiao mentioned earlier that made me realize..."

"You can even smell that??"

Tie Dan was speechless. Is this scent really that strong? How come he couldn’t smell it at all?!

How is he supposed to do undercover and assassinations like this? Isn’t this a joke...

Xing Yuanzhi steadied her mind, solemnly bowed again,

"My sect’s ancestor calculated that the Snow Mountain Palace is plotting something big, potentially harmful to our sect. Therefore, I was ordered to infiltrate the Snow Mountain Palace and investigate their schemes, only to find they were unsealing the Demon Ancestor and initiating the demon legacy! My sect’s reinforcement didn’t arrive in time, and I almost fell into the hands of those from the Demon Palace!

Thanks to Senior Brother’s righteous assistance, a great disaster in Genzhou was averted. You also saved me today, pulling me out of danger. That Soldier Repelling Coin can serve as my thank-you gift. Once I return to Wangwu Mountain, I’ll thank you properly."

Tie Dan suspiciously looked at her,

"Are you really a disciple of Qingtang Sect?"

Actually, after exchanging a few moves earlier and grabbing her meridians, Tie Dan was mostly convinced, but to be on the safe side he had to ask,

"Do you know other Mystic Sect Disciples? Have you heard of the Heng Mountain Liu Family?"

Xing Yuanzhi shook her head,

"Ever since I attained the Dao, I’ve only cultivated in Qian and Gen, and haven’t been south. But when you mention the Heng Mountain Liu Family, do you mean the lineage of Jingtian Immortal?

It’s said the Immortal excels in everything from music to painting to medicine to divination. If opportunity allows, I would naturally wish to meet and seek advice."

Lord Xiao also sighed,

"Indeed, a Mystic Sect Disciple. It’s just a pity that such a heritage, his direct descendants don’t even know, opting to seek others’ paths instead. Truly speechless~ Speechless indeed!"

Tie Dan continued to ask,

"Since you cultivated in Qianzhou, have you been to Cloud Platform Peak? Do you know Gen Mo, Zhen Zhu, or Qian Rang?"

"Cloud Platform Peak? Sword Sect, huh? I’ve never... ah."

Xing Yuanzhi hesitated, probing,

"Nine Yin Mountain... is there by any chance a Junior Brother Tang? I’ve heard a bit about him."

Tie Dan had been waiting for her to say this,

"Heard a bit about him? Then you must know his Daoist companion, right?"

The names of his fifteen Daoist companions, Tie Dan had seen them. As long as one matched...

Xing Yuanzhi couldn’t help but laugh,

"He doesn’t have any Daoist companion, we’re just teasing him."

...Eh?

Xing Yuanzhi chuckled vibrantly,

"It’s quite common for fellow sect members to exchange love letters and share feelings. But few are as talented as Junior Brother Tang.

He can write with both hands, alternating between styles and narratives, as if courting you. If not for our mastery in matchmaking divination, tracing connections like sentient apes, we might have been fooled.

Still, Junior Brother Tang is knowledgeable and talented, making him a great practice partner. So the junior sisters use his letters as templates and practice their calligraphy, competing with each other in returning letters and sparring to see who can win first.

It’s a pity I’m a year ahead of him and missed that chance. Otherwise, I’d like to exchange a few moves with him."

Tie Dan, "..."

Being played with by fifteen people emotionally, oh Old Tang... serves him right.

"Alright, let’s assume you’re from the Mystic Sect."

Only then did Tie Dan sheathe the knife in his hand, though the Taibai Sword Qi remained hidden underfoot, ready to strike,

"I agreed to escort Princess Xiao back to Lanling, in exchange for an Immortal Pill from the Xiao Family that extends life."

Xing Yuanzhi apparently overheard earlier and nodded,

"Thanks to Senior Brother Liu’s help, I successfully completed my mission and escaped danger. To repay your kindness, I’m willing to make a trip to Zhen Country to help you secure the medicine.

As for the matter of Snow Mountain Palace, I shall write a letter to detail it to my sect, and also commend Senior Brother Liu."

Tie Dan had no desire for the entire Mystic Sect to know he could single-handedly kill a Nascent Soul True Man and a Demon Ancestor, quickly interjected,

"No need to mention me, it was originally your mission. It’s not good to overshadow you. You should claim the credit yourself."

Xing Yuanzhi smiled,

"Indeed, this trip to the Snow Mountain Palace was my trial to ascend to the Inner Sect and formally acknowledge a master. Thank you, Senior Brother, for relinquishing the credit. Such great kindness warrants no shallow thanks. I offer myself as your bed companion as repayment."

Then she began to undress as she spoke, shedding her cloak, mantle, and skirt until she was only in her undergarment.

Lord Xiao quickly covered the Kun’s eyes and left with it.

Tie Dan was speechless as well.

No, seriously, does everyone on this ship have some sort of problem? Why does everyone immediately resort to wanting to sleep with him after a disagreement??

Moreover, with this Junior Sister’s methods, if he truly dared to roll in bed with her, he might as well prepare for a backstab at any moment.

Tie Dan’s face fell, coldly saying,

"There’s no need for that formality, Junior Sister. I only helped to eliminate demons, not to take advantage of you.

You’ve been working undercover tirelessly and should be exhausted, take a rest. I won’t disturb you."

Seeing Tie Dan actually turning to leave, Xing Yuanzhi was surprised and quickly grabbed his arm,

"Senior Brother, it was presumptuous of me. Since you don’t wish to share a bed with me, how about we just practice breathing control together?

On the way to Zhen Country, there might be countless dangers and no place to rest and breathe properly.

We’re at a similar realm with compatible cultivation, perfect for Dual Cultivation and Qi Replenishment. It will also avoid arousing outsiders’ suspicions."

Tie Dan hesitated a bit. After all, Xing Yuanzhi had a point. Traveling while fending off demons and ensuring full Qi was essential.

This journey on the Flying Boat and the battle with the Great Demon had indeed exhausted Tie Dan’s True Qi considerably. Previously, while traveling with Zhen Baiyu, they relied on Dual Cultivation for Qi Replenishment.

Seeing Tie Dan agree, Xing Yuanzhi stepped forward to assist in disrobing him, smiling softly,

"Senior Brother, there’s no need to be tense, just relax. My Qingtang Sect specializes in dual cultivation techniques. I’ll guide your Qi circulation.

Though there are some secret manuals passed down orally, I’ll personally guide you through the body’s key points to recognize..."

Just as Xing Yuanzhi was leading his hand to her chest, Tie Dan pulled his hand back,

"No need for that. I’ve memorized the meridian map thoroughly. There’s no need for pointing it out. Just explain how to channel the energy.

You don’t have to be scantily clad to achieve Qi-circulation. Our palms touching will suffice.

The cold weather could make you catch a chill. Let’s just get started."

Xing Yuanzhi was also speechless,

"Senior Brother... truly remarkable... alright, let’s do it your way then."
