The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 804 Holy Maiden Shimei's Worries

Chapter 19 You’re Asking for It

After everyone recovered from their shock, Chen Xiao felt he had shown off enough. Only then did he hit Yun Hao where it hurt the most, asking, “Yun Hao, weren’t you going to get serious with me? Come on, why are you beaten like a dead dog, unable to even fight back!”

Yun Hao, clenching his fists, was on the verge of tears.

Chen Xiao coldly sneered, patting Yun Hao’s swollen face and saying, “I gave you the chance, but you’re useless!”

“I’ll f***…”

Yun Hao gathered his last shred of dignity and strength, imitating Chen Xiao, like a street ruffian, raising his fist to swing at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao’s knee struck Yun Hao’s abdomen, followed by a kick, sending Yun Hao flying.

These seemingly simple three punches and two kicks contained the energy of true essence. After this, Yun Hao could no longer get up.

Chen Xiao chuckled, “Someone as useless as you can represent Tianzong in the Prodigy Battle? If the Prodigy Battle is full of trash like you, in my opinion, it’s better if it’s not held. Saintess Junior Sister, let’s go!”

With that, Chen Xiao took the lead and walked forward.

Li Miaozhen glanced at the crowd, let out a smug snort, and then followed the Holy Son Senior Brother’s footsteps with a light pace.

“Holy Son Senior Brother, wait for me…”

The aloof Tianzong Saintess became Chen Xiao’s little follower.

However, she herself had not yet realized that a different kind of affection had already arisen spontaneously.

After Chen Xiao and Li Miaozhen left, Yun Hao could no longer hold on, covered his face, and began to sob…

A group of Northwest Holy Sons and Saintesses looked at each other, the same thought flashing through their minds.

This time, the Tianzong Holy Son is probably finished.

After leaving the First Building, Chen Xiao and Li Miaozhen arrived at a large courtyard located in the city center.

The courtyard was elegant and unique. Although it was in the bustling city, the surrounding area was deserted, like a forbidden area, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the noise.

And this was a branch of Dizong in Immortal Sect City. In the secular world, this kind of place was called an office.

The three sects of Heaven, Earth, and Human all had offices in Immortal Sect City, which, in addition to handling daily affairs, mainly provided a foothold for the disciples of the sect after they arrived in Immortal Sect City.

The person in charge of Dizong’s office was a steward named Ye Sanfu. In appearance, he was an inconspicuous old man.

Ye Sanfu’s strength was mediocre, only at the Transformation Void Realm, but he was very capable, the kind of person who seemed rigid but was also sophisticated.

In his own words, this was called going along with the times.

When Chen Xiao and Li Miaozhen arrived, Ye Sanfu led all the disciples in the branch sect to welcome them on both sides of the road.

“Welcome Holy Son and Saintess, Ye Sanfu has been waiting for a long time!”

Compared with the disciples of the Dizong main sect, Ye Sanfu seemed a little mercenary, and his attitude towards the Holy Son and Saintess was also very humble.

Li Miaozhen’s expression was cold, and she only nodded slightly.

Chen Xiao smiled and cupped his fist at Ye Sanfu, “Elder Ye, you’ve worked hard!”

Li Miaozhen was stunned again. The former Holy Son Senior Brother was not so good at handling things. He always looked down on those who were inferior to him in status.

The Holy Son Senior Brother’s change was really from the inside out.

Li Miaozhen’s admiration for the Holy Son Senior Brother deepened a bit, and she followed suit and cupped her fist at Ye Sanfu, “You’ve worked hard, Elder Ye!”

“Not hard, not hard, it’s all my duty!”

Ye Sanfu was flattered, obviously not expecting the Holy Son and Saintess to be so polite to him.

“Holy Son and Saintess, please come inside. Daoist Master Ziwei is waiting for you in the main hall!”

Hearing this, Li Miaozhen was slightly surprised, “What? Master has already arrived? She, she wasn’t supposed to come until tomorrow!”

Tomorrow was the day of the Prodigy Battle’s main competition, so the Daoist Masters of the three sects of Heaven, Earth, and Human usually only came on the day of the Prodigy Battle.

Moreover, for them, getting from their respective sects to Immortal Sect City was just a matter of thought, so there was no such thing as rushing.

Daoist Master Ziwei suddenly arrived early, and Li Miaozhen immediately felt uneasy, quietly transmitting her voice to Holy Son Senior Brother, “Holy Son Senior Brother, do you think Master is here for you?”

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, looking at Li Miaozhen with suspicion, but also with some guilt.

It’s very likely that she’s here for me… but could you not mention the words ‘old lady’?

Li Miaozhen caught a trace of guilt in the Holy Son Senior Brother’s eyes, and transmitted her voice again, “It must be because that unlucky Yun Hao was beaten too badly by you, and he couldn’t hold back, so he complained to the sect. Plus, Liu Rusui’s death… If Master is really here for this, then you’re in trouble!”

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so you thought it was for this kind of thing… if it was really for this kind of thing, then that would be fine!

What Chen Xiao didn’t want to face now was the embarrassment of ‘the eagle catching the chick.’

“Forget it, you don’t have to be afraid. What’s coming will come sooner or later. Master is so fond of you, she definitely won’t do anything to you. At most, she’ll just educate you a few words, she can’t possibly stop you from participating in tomorrow’s Prodigy Battle!”

Li Miaozhen silently comforted Chen Xiao through voice transmission.

Chen Xiao didn’t comment, transmitting a sentence, “Let’s go in and talk about it.”

Li Miaozhen was right about one thing, what’s coming will come sooner or later, what has to be faced will have to be faced sooner or later!

Ptooey, it’s just a big eagle… Chen Xiao isn’t afraid!

The two followed Ye Sanfu to the main hall. Daoist Master Ziwei was sitting upright on a prayer mat, her face dignified and her demeanor graceful… but the more upright she was, the more Chen Xiao could see a coquettishness from her.

A coquettishness that went straight to the bone, making people unable to extricate themselves, and involuntarily wanting to have a thorough exchange with her.

“Disciple greets Master!”

“Ye Sanfu greets Daoist Master Ziwei.”

Ye Sanfu and Li Miaozhen greeted Daoist Master Ziwei one after another. Seeing the Holy Son Senior Brother looking dazed, Li Miaozhen immediately kicked him, reminding him to greet Master.

Only then did Chen Xiao come back to his senses, and imitating them, he performed a Daoist salute, “Disciple greets Master.”

Seeing the Holy Son Senior Brother like this, Li Miaozhen curled her lips. Why was the Holy Son Senior Brother so scared? Was Master that scary?

Daoist Master Ziwei nodded slightly to the few people and said straight to the point, “Steward Ye, Li Miaozhen, you may leave first, I have something to say to the Holy Son alone.”

“As you command, Daoist Master Ziwei!”

“Yes, Master!”

After saying that, the two retreated.

Before leaving, the look Li Miaozhen gave to the Holy Son Senior Brother was full of pity, and she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, “The Holy Son Senior Brother is in trouble this time…”

As soon as these two left, only Daoist Master Ziwei and Chen Xiao were left in the hall.

For no reason, Chen Xiao felt a burst of nervousness.

Daoist Master Ziwei got up and walked over, looking at Chen Xiao with a smile, her eyes filled with tender affection.

“Weren’t you supposed to come tomorrow? Why are you here early?”

Chen Xiao said, trying to find something to say.

“You wretch, don’t you know why I came early?”

Daoist Master Ziwei scolded in a charming way.

If Ye Sanfu were present, he would be shocked to the point of dropping his jaw.

The dignified Daoist Master of Dizong, dignified and graceful… she, she could actually say such things to a man?

“Hehe…”

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly, his body stiff, like a chick being stared at by an eagle, frightened silly.

“What, you don’t miss me? You wretch… a day apart feels like three autumns.”

Daoist Master Ziwei said very sentimentally, and as she spoke, her delicate and tender hand touched Chen Xiao’s hard chest.

A day apart? Daoist Master, your use of idioms is… very exquisite!

Chen Xiao endured the desire that was about to rush to the top of his head, pulled his legs out of the ground, and took a step back, “Daoist Master, Elder Ye and Saintess Junior Sister are still outside, this is not good…”

Daoist Master Ziwei frowned, her face immediately becoming cold and beautiful, looking like she was about to get angry.

But for some reason, her expression changed again, revealing a resentful look, saying aggrievedly, “Why are you so cold to me? Is there something I haven’t done well enough to serve my husband?”

Servant???

Husband???

Hearing these words, Chen Xiao’s body felt like it was about to explode. It was too tempting for the dignified Daoist Master of Dizong to say such words.

He forcibly calmed himself down and asked, “I heard that you are over six hundred years old?”

Hearing this, Daoist Master Ziwei chuckled, “So that’s what it is? What, don’t you like the old cow eating young grass?”

As she spoke, the colorful dress on her body slowly faded away, her tall chest half exposed, white and dazzling.

Chen Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then lowered his eyes and nose, focusing on his heart…

Daoist Master Ziwei’s slender hand caressed Chen Xiao’s angular face, and her warm body rubbed against Chen Xiao’s.

“We cultivators seek to live as long as the heavens and earth, why would we care about these things?”

Daoist Master Ziwei’s voice was lazy and sweet, full of temptation, her small tongue swirling around Chen Xiao’s ear.

“Who said I cared!”

Chen Xiao couldn’t bear it any longer, so what if it was the eagle catching the chick, he didn’t care anymore!

“Giggle giggle giggle giggle, your body is still honest…”

Daoist Master Ziwei let out a series of delicate laughs.

But just as she was stirring up Chen Xiao’s body with fire, she suddenly pushed him away.

“You’re teasing me?”

Being pushed away by Ziwei at this critical moment, Chen Xiao was directly annoyed.

Like a child who was having fun but had their toy snatched away by their parents.

“No matter how much of an old cow I am eating young grass, I can’t bring myself to do it with this face of yours!”

Daoist Master Ziwei raised her willow eyebrows and looked at Chen Xiao.

Only then did Chen Xiao realize that he was still wearing Li Shouzhen’s face… no wonder Ziwei had been flirting with him for so long. Could this woman be interested in that stupid disciple?

But Chen Xiao quickly dismissed this idea. After all, that stupid disciple died in his hands, but Daoist Master Ziwei didn’t blame him at all.

After figuring this out, Chen Xiao wiped his face and restored his own appearance.

Daoist Master Ziwei’s eyes were as silky as silk, and she licked her lips with her small tongue, “Come on, my dear, today we’ll fight three hundred rounds!”
