Chapter 530 Beyond Expectation
“Well, kid, is there anything else?” Seeing that he was deep in thought, Shui Yue asked him.
Xiao Chen came back to his senses. He thought that the Punishment Cliff behind the mountain was the best place to go. No one would normally go to such a place. He smiled and said, “It’s all right. Thank you, Third Grandmaster.”
“Oh, it is good that you are all right,” Shui Yue said, as she stretched her neck. She frowned and muttered, “I seem to have fallen asleep on my neck last night. It feels stiff. It is good that you are fine. Come up and help me massage it.”
“Ha?” Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Then he walked up with a smile, and went over to Shui Yue’s side. But when he looked at her snow-white neck and shoulders, he did not know where to start.
15 minutes later.
“Well, Third Grandmaster, do you think it is enough?”
“Well…it is okay. Be gentle with my left shoulder…Well, give me a harder massage on the right side… Hey, why are you so clumsy…”
“Er…” Xiao Chen smiled. He had never massaged anyone’s shoulders before.
The breeze blew gently in the courtyard, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. Shui Yue supported her hands on the vermilion railings and looked at the lake and mountains in the distance. Gradually, she was lost in thought.
Xiao Chen gently massaged her shoulders, and his fingertips touched her soft and smooth skin. Looking at her profile, he gradually became absent-minded. Why was she so similar to Bai Ying? One was in the Wastelands, and the other was in the Human World. They were more than 5,000 kilometers away. After a while, he asked, “Well, Third Grandmaster, what is your real name?”
“What?” Shui Yue came to her senses and gave him a strange look. Then she turned her head and muttered, “Just massage my shoulders properly. Don’t ask nonsensical questions.”
“Er…”
After a while, Xiao Chen asked with a smile, “How long has Third Grandmaster been in the Cloud Mist Academy?”
The strange thing was that this time Shui Yue did not forbid him from asking all sorts of questions. Instead, she bit her finger and thought about it. After a while, she said vaguely, “It has been at least 80 years. I can’t remember it clearly. Why?” Then she looked at him.
“Nothing, I am just concerned about you,” Xiao Chen said with a smile. He thought to himself that since it was between 80-100 years, then that would be about the same time when Bai Ying went to the Three Pure Sect.
“Humph, cunning little thing.” Shui Yue smiled and cursed. Then she turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the courtyard. After a while, Xiao Chen asked again, “Does the Third Grandmaster have any sisters?”
This time, the atmosphere seemed to change suddenly. Xiao Chen’s hands also stopped, because he felt that Shui Yue’s face had changed.
“Ah… It does not hurt anymore, and it is no longer sore.” Shui Yue stretched herself and looked at Xiao Chen with a smile. “Hurry and go back, kid. I will call you next time.”
“Okay.” Xiao Chen smiled and watched her walk into the house. Then he slowly walked out of the pavilion. But at this time, his back was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He did not know why, but at that moment, he felt his heart was pounding fast. Shui Yue at that moment, seemed to be a little terrifying.
When he returned to his courtyard, Chu Qi was already waiting for him in the courtyard. After they prepared some things, Xiao Chen brought her with him to the back mountain of the Wind-heeding Pavilion. Although the pavilion was a floating island, it was very large, almost without borders. There was also a main peak in the middle of the island. Shui Yue had said that the Forbidden Area of the back mountain, Punishment Cliff, was behind the peak.
When they arrived, they saw that even though the grass and trees were flourishing, there were also many withered thistles and vines. Compared to other places, it was more autumn-like. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
“Lord… why did you bring me here?” If it was Ziyun’er, she would definitely look around at the desolate area and then ask. However, Chu Qi just followed him quietly, without saying a word.
“This place should be the Punishment Cliff. Let us go and look for the cave Shui Yue mentioned.”
Although no one was here, Xiao Chen was still vigilant. The two of them searched for a moment and passed through some thorny bushes. Finally, they found a cave camouflaged by grass and trees.
Xiao Chen immediately probed the cave with his Divine Sense, but he did not find any trace of people. Then he and Chu Qi went over. It took them a lot of effort to remove the thorns at the entrance of the cave.
Inside the cave, he saw words carved on a stone wall. They were all words that the past disciples wrote, as they regretted their actions. However, because they had been written long ago, the words were a little faded. Xiao Chen did not take a closer look at them, but explored the depths of the cave with his Divine Sense. It seemed that he did not find anything.
“This is the place. There should not be anyone here.” Xiao Chen looked around and said. He only needed to stay here for three days. It was the safest place here.
After that, Xiao Chen looked at Chu Qi again, just in time to see her looking at him with a strange expression on her face. When Chu Qi saw him looking at her, she immediately turned her head away.
“Ah… Well, don’t get me wrong, Chu Qi. You are the only person I trust the most here, so I asked you to help me with this…”
“Do we need to take off our clothes?” Chu Qi interrupted, before he could finish his sentence.
“Huh?” Xiao Chen was stunned. Chu Qi turned her head away and said coldly, “I will not do it.”
“No need, no need…” Xiao Chen quickly shook his hand. The last time when Bai Ying used her Qi to help him with the Wisdom-forsaking Technique, she said that they had to take off all their clothes. She must be talking nonsense. How could there be such a strange and shameful skill in the world?
“Ahem, let me explain to you first about this Wisdom-forsaking Technique.”
At the moment, Xiao Chen explained to her how the Wisdom-forsaking Technique was used. The Wisdom-forsaking Technique was not about clearing all of his cultivation. It was equivalent to refining, and a portion of his pure cultivation would be preserved.
Now if Xiao Chen used the Wisdom-forsaking Technique and reached the first level of Nirvana Realm, he would definitely be able to return to the fourth level of Nirvana Realm much faster than before. Coupled with the help of a hundred Mystic Stones, he would definitely be able to make a qualitative leap, when he returned to the fourth level.
Chu Qi also understood. Although she did not understand why Xiao Chen needed to undo his cultivation, she did not ask more questions. She would do whatever Xiao Chen said.
At the moment, the two sat cross-legged, facing each other and pressed their palms against each other. When running the cultivation method, no one could be restless and distracted. Needless to say, Chu Qi had no problem with that. But Xiao Chen… Anyway, should there be any traces of distracting thoughts in his heart, he would lose all his cultivation and he would have Qi Deviation.
Moreover, once he began to run the cultivation method, he must not stop or be disturbed during the process. Otherwise, he would be doomed. When Bai Ying helped him with the Qi Refining Realm, it only took him two or four hours to undo his cultivation. But now, it would take at least three days and nights for him, being in the Nirvana Realm.
With everything ready, the two started their cultivation process. Time passed slowly, and there were no errors in the midst of the process. Xiao Chen could feel that his cultivation was slowly disappearing, but this kind of disappearance was not really a true disappearance, but was more of a sealing up. This was the subtlety of the Wisdom-forsaking Technique. Although it was called Wisdom-forsaking Technique, it was not really Wisdom-forsaking.
Several hours later, it was already nightfall. Although the moon had not reached the highest point, a bright moon could be seen in the sky. The wild grasses were blowing all over the place. Those flowers, grass, and trees appeared beautiful in the daytime, but under the moonlight, they seemed to have a rather sinister and ghostly appearance.
None had stepped into the back mountain of the Wind-heeding Pavilion for years. The place was deathly quiet. Occasionally, one could hear the screech of a night owl, which was extremely creepy. At this moment, moonlight shrouded the place, but it did not shine on the two who were in the cave.
All of a sudden, a nightingale’s cries could be heard amidst the dead silence, “Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…”
But the sound was so weird and seemed to be different from that of a regular nightingale. Then there was a gust of wind, followed by the rustling sounds of grass.
The voice was getting closer and closer to the cave where Xiao Chen and Chu Qi were. Finally, the voice stopped at the foot of the cave, and then the delicate voice of a woman could be heard, “Why are you here so late?”
In the cave, Xiao Chen was shocked. But this little shock almost made him gasp on the spot. However, on the other side, Chu Qi’s face remained calm, and her arms were still emitting energy.
Xiao Chen calmed down. How could anyone come to this place so late at night? He felt a little anxious at the moment. This was really an unexpected occurrence. If these two people broke in and interrupted his exercise, he was afraid that they would be doomed this time.
“Junior Sister, I miss you so much. Hurry up!”
“Hey! Why are you in such a hurry? Where are those things?”
“There! Look what this is? Come on, I can’t wait!”
“Aye, someone is watching, ah… you! Don’t! Don’t… don’t touch me… Ah…” The woman protested coquettishly.
“Come on, there is no one in this damned place of your Wind-heeding Pavilion. Hey, let us go above, there is a cave there.”
“You… Alas, let’s go. Don’t let anyone see us.” The woman said in a delicate voice. Under the moonlight, the two of them hugged each other and walked to the entrance of the cave.
In the cave, Xiao Chen was really shocked this time. One of them was at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul and the other was at the expectant Nascent Soul Realm. Normally, he could kill them with one finger. But now… If he was seen by these two people now, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The footsteps of the two people were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. At this moment, the look on Chu Qi’s face finally changed. It was not because she had the same worries as Xiao Chen, but she was worried that the two people would make love in front of her and her Lord. This was too…
Outside the cave, the woman said, “Zhou Yahoo, I have not seen the ‘big brother’ you mentioned yet. When will you take me to meet him?”
“Do you really want to see him?” The man smiled evilly. When he spoke, his eyes were still fixed on her generous chest, and he was drooling in anticipation.
“Hey, I am talking to you about serious things! Be serious! Look up and look at me!” The woman said angrily.
“Well, it is not the right time now. I am afraid that when you see him, you will be so scared that you will not dare to sleep for a month.” This time, the man was a little serious.
“Hum, is he so powerful? I don’t believe it!” The woman rolled her eyes at him. The man smiled and said, “As long as Junior Sister is willing to do what I say, what else is there to worry about? You can have everything you want in the future.”
“Humph, do you think it is so easy to get it? The Secret Technique of the Hundred Flowers and the Ghost Map of the Netherworld are well hidden by that woman, Shuiyue. How can it be so easy to get it? If someone finds out about this, I will die without a burial place!”
While they were talking, they had already walked to the entrance of the cave. The man pressed the woman onto the stone wall which had the words carved on it, and said with a smile, “It depends on Junior Sister’s ability. Let’s not talk about this anymore, come…” Then he moved closer to the woman’s face.
“Hey… Hey!” The woman turned her head and said, “No, someone is watching!”
“There is no one here. Junior Sister, don’t scare yourself.” The man smiled evilly. As he spoke, his hand suddenly reached into the woman’s clothes. The woman let out a scream, and her face quickly turned red.
