Chapter 417: It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains?
Lu Chengwen truly had no mood left.
These past few days, in order to refine Qi Meishao according to that secret manual, he really was almost drained like an oil lamp running dry.
The key was, it was so shameful!
If he were a person of this world, someone from this absurd, ridiculous ancient martial Jianghu, perhaps he wouldn't feel ashamed at all, and might even feel very lucky.
But, he was an Earthling!
He had read web novels! He knew perfectly well that in a normal world, things like dual cultivation, cauldrons, harvesting... were all nonsense!
Just something for everyone to watch for fun.
Just like how people read martial arts novels and imagine they can also run on eaves and walk on walls, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, with heroic feelings and strong wine, taking swift vengeance;
Or read transmigration novels, imagining they can also cross into another world, break off engagements, seek strange fires, make friends, refine pills...
Or like "The Deer and the Cauldron," putting themselves in the shoes, relying on intelligence and quick wit, maneuvering between various factions, and marrying seven beautiful wives of various types... that's simply the dream of all ordinary people.
He knew this was complete nonsense, yet had to suppress his rational, shameful little heart and obediently execute it.
This felt very embarrassing.
The key was, he actually mastered these things.
Lu Chengwen even wanted to give himself a thumbs up, telling himself: You damn really are a genius!
Lu Chengwen suddenly discovered that, even now, he still felt full of resistance towards many rules of this world, lacking a sense of belonging.
Subconsciously, he was still an Earthling, still a normal person.
Lu Chengwen's clothes were already torn beyond repair.
His shoes were long gone, walking barefoot, wearing rags, disheveled hair, unshaven beard, found a wooden branch to push aside wild grass as he advanced.
Qi Meishao was doing okay though.
Her clothes were also torn, looking quite wretched too, her pretty little face also somewhat grimy.
But beauty is beauty. Even after staying underground in the deep well with him for many days, she was still so beautiful upon coming out. Although not as clean, she had a special kind of beauty.
Lu Chengwen walked and said: "My body stinks, why do I always smell you being fragrant? Did you eat spices?"
Qi Meishao followed behind Lu Chengwen. She felt so happy having Lu Chengwen clear the path for her! So beautiful! So pampered! So sweet!
Wow! Gege is so manly!
Gege was fierce down in the well, and after coming out, clears the path with a big stick, so masculine!
Following behind Gege, no matter where they go, she will follow him devotedly, wholeheartedly!
Long Aotian...
Sorry, Young Master, my blood oath is sworn. Nuwa descendants cannot resist their blood oath.
And having been refined into a top-quality cauldron by Master, I can only wish you smooth sailing in the future.
Oops! What if Long Aotian deals with my Master later?
Thinking this, Qi Meishao suddenly wanted to scold herself harshly!
Qi Meishao, what are you thinking!?
The blood oath is sworn, what else do you want!?
How can you be half-hearted?
If Gege finds out you still care about Long Aotian's thoughts and feelings, what if he doesn't want you anymore?
You truly have impure thoughts, punish yourself by serving Master well next time!
Lu Chengwen stopped: "I was talking to you, why didn't you answer?"
"Oh, sorry Master, I was wrong."
Lu Chengwen's hair had grown a bit longer, his beard was out too, coupled with that surprised expression, it was quite comical.
"What nonsense are you talking? I didn't scold you."
"Oh."
"Oh what? I was asking you, why are you always fragrant? How many days haven't you bathed?"
"Always... been with you, haven't had the conditions. Nuwa descendants are like this, naturally possessing body fragrance, metabolism is also different from ordinary people, body doesn't easily attract dust... so... will be cleaner than average people, and also have a fragrant scent..."
"Is Nuwa's blood very powerful?"
Lu Chengwen asked absentmindedly while clearing the path.
"Considered a support ability. If not encountering a powerful master, the effect will be greatly discounted."
Saying this, Qi Meishao blushed again.
"Oh, amazing, amazing. After going back, what do you plan to do?"
Qi Meishao froze, standing rooted to the spot, watching Lu Chengwen advance, suddenly feeling he was gradually getting farther and farther away from her.
Lu Chengwen walked for a while, noticed no sound, looked back, saw Qi Meishao standing far away, staring straight at him.
"Come here! What's wrong? Tired?"
Qi Meishao sobbed: "Master, I feel, you are getting farther and farther away from me..."
Lu Chengwen's eyes widened: "That's because you didn't follow! Ziwei!" (Reference to character Ziwei from 'My Fair Princess', implying melodrama)
Qi Meishao walked over aggrievedly: "I've already been refined into a cauldron by you, I can only follow you from now on! Long Aotian won't accept... someone like me. And my blood oath absolutely cannot accept another man ever again. If Master doesn't want me, I can only die alone in this vast mountain... wuwuwu..."
"Big sister, I... I just casually asked about your plans, why are you crying! Aiya, so annoying."
"Sorry, I know I'm annoying, I know I used to be very willful... but back then, I didn't know my fate would be like this! I can't predict the future..."
Qi Meishao tugged Lu Chengwen's sleeve corner: "Just take me, okay? I'll be your servant girl."
Lu Chengwen felt, has she become a different person!?
Didn't she used to shout about chopping me to death?
Lu Chengwen asked诧异地 (with surprise/astonishment): "No, this blood oath thing, does it change a person's... personality and... temper and stuff?"
Qi Meishao said: "It's said there's a little change. Actually, I don't feel much has changed significantly. If there is, it's just... upon seeing you... just like you."
Lu Chengwen smiled, pinched her cheek: "I like you too."
"Really!?" Qi Meishao was so happy she wanted to jump.
"Damn it, too alluring, no! Turn around, turn around, be my cauldron, I need to... cultivate you right now!"
Qi Meishao shyly said "Yes," then obediently turned around, lifting her skirt herself.
...
Without much lingering intimacy, simply "cultivating" one round, Lu Chengwen held Qi Meishao's hand and continued forward.
Lu Chengwen said: "Will doing this have any... bad effects... on you?"
Qi Meishao shook her head: "No, actually, it will help both of us progress faster."
"Really? That good?"
"Of course! Blood alliance, blood alliance, our bones and blood are connected, hearts linked. Moreover, from now on I will improve as your level increases. My own cultivation is not very useful anymore."
Lu Chengwen stopped, turned back: "What do you mean!?"
"It means, I am now one with you. As long as you level up, I will receive a great improvement. If by chance I also touch the barrier to advancement, reach that dragon gate, then as long as you level up, I can directly advance without any hindrance."
"What if I advance very slowly?"
"Heehee, then this servant will just cultivate slowly with you!"
Lu Chengwen thought, this... is somewhat interesting.
The two encountered a river. Lu Chengwen caught fish, Qi Meishao gathered firewood and built a fire. The two ate grilled fish, rested for a while, planning to reach the small wooden cabin before nightfall.
...
On the other side.
Long Aotian finally consolidated his strength at the initial stage of Tiansimen.
He looked at his hands, lifted his head, unsure whether to feel joy or sorrow.
This trip, suffered a lot, endured much hardship, and lost a favorite guard.
But, this unbreakable barrier of his, actually broke through bafflingly.
Heh... life, unexpectedly so comical.
Since stepping into Xuecheng, everything started becoming strange.
Xuecheng clashes with me.
At this point, Long Aotian suddenly had the thought of retreating.
He couldn't love this land anymore.
From Zhongsimen to Tiansimen, he leveled up here.
But he also encountered the most setbacks, failures, and humiliations of his life here.
Zhuge Xiaohua looked at Long Aotian, said excitedly: "Congratulations, Young Master."
Long Aotian heard voices, raised his hand, signaling her not to speak.
Indeed, he heard people talking in the distance of the cave.
"Your Highness, Lu Chengwen is already heading towards the small wooden cabin! He's alive, Qi Meishao is following him."
"Understood. What about Ming Disha?"
"He has already left, no longer in this area."
"Are you sure?"
"His zhenqi divine sense, this subordinate remembers clearly, cannot be wrong."
"Mm."
"Your Highness, aren't we doing anything?"
"We are only responsible for watching the show, don't worry about anything else."
"Understood."
Hearing them gradually move away, Long Aotian walked out, his face grim.
Which faction's people have come to this Qixing Feng again?!
Lu Chengwen still dares to go to the small wooden cabin? Could it be Shifu is back!?
Long Aotian suddenly gritted his teeth, hating Lu Chengwen. He knew it wasn't Lu Chengwen's fault, but just hated him!
This time, he really had killing intent.
He wanted to kill Lu Chengwen.
If he lives, I can't be well!
"Xiaohua, where's Shiyin?"
"She said she went to gather information."
"She goes to gather information every day! What damn information does she bring back! Leave her a signal, we're going to the small wooden cabin."
"Still going? To do what?"
"If Shifu isn't there, kill Lu Chengwen!"
Long Aotian said through gritted teeth.
"Young Master, Meishao-jie..." Zhuge Xiaohua cried: "Is she really not coming back?"
"Her seal is the Nuwa Blood Oath. If it was broken by Lu Chengwen..."
Long Aotian closed his eyes: "She can't come back."
Zhuge Xiaohua cried uncontrollably. Long Aotian thought she was crying solely for Qi Meishao.
But Zhuge Xiaohua knew she was crying for three people, no, including the Young Master, four people.
No, including herself, five people!
Only I am left!
Wuwuwu...
...
Boom!
The surrounding mountain rocks vibrated. Piao Qi Tianwang had finally recovered.
He majestically shattered a boulder, demonstrating he still possessed supreme divine power.
"You're still in the mountains?"
Piao Qi Tianwang sneered.
Che Qi Tianwang and Dang Kou Tianwang were wrecked beyond human resemblance, each holding a dried-up dead head, which already stank.
The two had sunken cheeks, colorless faces, disheveled appearances, lifeless eyes.
Che Qi Tianwang: "Lived enough, just do it."
Dang Kou Tianwang: "Don't hit the rock, hit me, I beg you."
"Worthless!" Piao Qi Tianwang roared angrily.
Che Qi Tianwang snorted faintly: "You're worthy? Weren't you beaten like a child by Di Sha Gong?"
"What did you say!?"
At this moment, several sounds of breaking wind suddenly came.
On a tree trunk, Jiang Xiaohou stood with her back to them: "Ming Disha left?"
"Left." (Voice likely one of her attendants)
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Lu Chengwen and Long Aotian?"
"Heading towards the small wooden cabin, should be meeting up with Hua Xueying."
"Go."
Piao Qi Tianwang narrowed his eyes: Ming Disha left!?
Lu Chengwen! Long Aotian!
You two! I'll kill you!
