119 Li Lians Message (1/2)

What Xun Wei didn't know was how rare it was for even the weakest spirit attribute to acknowledge and accept a cultivator. Although it mostly came down to one's personality, one also needed to be extremely talented in the art of cultivation to be accepted by it.

...

As happy as Yao Wu was, something didn't add up. How did Xun Wei get so many spirit points, and what happened to the blindfolded man?

When asked for an explanation, Xun Wei told Yao Wu that she killed Song Du and his men to get that many merit points. As for the blindfolded man, she knew she was referring to Xiao Fang so to keep his identity a secret she denied seeing him there.

[ Li Lian's house ]

After coming back from the Matriarch's Hall, Li Lian went to check on Xiao Fang, but found that he was still cultivating in seclusion.

She then sighed as she thought, 'This is probably how Xiao Fang felt when I was locked away in cultivation for so many days.'

She was always cultivating because he made her want to be stronger, and seeing how hard she was working also motivated him to do the same.

They had what some might consider to be a strange relationship. They loved each other, but didn't let that interfere with their passion for cultivation. That was the reason why she wasn't mad at him for sleeping with other women, because that was his dao, and no matter who he slept with she knew he wouldn't love them the way he loved her.

Xiao Hei was resting in her feline form with her body laying in a crescent shape around Xiao Fang's body. When she saw Li Lian open the door she lifted her head.

Xiao Hei got up, transformed into her human form, then walked out of the room to talk to Li Lian. She was curious to know who those people were and where they took her.

Li Lian told Xiao Hei everything that happened, but the reason she came back was to deliver Xiao Fang a message. She whispered it into Xiao Hei then left.

Xiao Hei sighed, not because of what she told her, but because she was bored again.

A few days later, Xiao Fang finally opened his eyes.

”Xiao Fang, you're awake!” Xiao Hei said with excitement.

Xiao Fang looked down at his hand as he tried to activate his [ True Immortal Lightning Tribulation ] spirit attribute. At first nothing happened, but then he felt as if he was continuously being struck by lightning.

”Woah,” Xiao Hei said as his hair and pupils became white.

Thin lines of electricity streaked across the surface of his robes and skin, giving him a much more intimidating presence.

The more he released it the more intense the lightning got, but also the more painful it became. Eventually it got so bad that he needed to stop before he could fully unleash it's true strength.

”Why did you stop?” Xiao Hei asked.

”It hurts, why does it hurt so much? It feels like my body was being torn into pieces. Did something go wrong?”

Xiao Hei had a confused look on her face, ”I've never heard of a spirit attribute that hurts the cultivator activating it.”

Xiao Fang sighed since it seemed that his new spirit attribute was unusable.

”Where are Li Lian and Xun Wei?” Xiao Fang asked after sensing that the house was empty.

Xiao Hei then told Xiao Fang everything that happened when he was in seclusion.

”Hmm, I see.”

”Xun Wei came by a few times, but she didn't stay long since you were still cultivating the spirit attribute. She wanted me to tell you to be careful of the Matriarch. It seems that she doesn't have a very good relationship with the Divine Sword sect.”

Xun Wei also said to come eat her ass, but Xiao Hei chose to leave that part out.

Even without knowing what Xiao Hei told him, Xiao Fang was a pretty cautious guy. He wouldn't have exposed his identity that easily.
