Chapter 237: An Uninvited Guest Turns Up (1/2)
The Void Immortal’s Abode
Su Xing lied upon the sofa. He was dressed only in a pair of shorts, and although he occasionally knit his brow, his mood was still fairly relaxed.
An Suwen was beside him, her white fingers gently helped Su Xing apply medicine, smiling as she did so: “Big Brother, seriously, this type of escape technique is best used sparingly. This is too terrifying, and even Elder Sister Yingmei is distressed.”
Su Xing smiled.
The distance to return to the Void Immortal’s Abode from Greencorn Mountain already had several days, and An Suwen continuously was by Su Xing’s side tending to the aftereffects of the Chaotic Tail Escape Technique. Although this type of frightful escape technique was capable of escape reviled by men and gods, the aftermath was very serious. In a short seven days, Su Xing used it twice, so the self-harm was doubled. However, at that time, Su Xing worried about Yingmei and did not have that many misgivings.
Su Xing groaned a few times, enjoyment across his whole face.
“To receive care like Little Sister An Suwen’s, it was worth it.”
An Suwen stifled a shallow smile. Regardless of how severe the trials and hardships the Big Brother in front of her confronted in the Vermilion Bird Territory, producing who knows what traces, even contracting the Gongsun Huang who was number one in magic energy, he still was still like the first time they met, not having changed in the slightest. “Big Brother. If you would like, Little Sister recalls there actually is a ‘Warm Yang Qi Raising’1 acupuncture technique.”
“What use does this have?” Su Xing asked curiously.
“It can allow Big Brother to improve his blood circulation, withstand external and internal injuries, and stabilize Essence Qi.”
Su Xing’s eyes shone. This actually was a good thing. That was not saying injuries could be self-healed, and neither did this count for anything. What was important was that it could stabilize Essence Qi. Wounds could always be completely recovered from, but things like Essence Qi practically were the second lives of cultivators. In case there was great harm to vigor or Essence Qi, regardless of cultivation, magic energy and abilities would be greatly weakened. If it could stabilize Essence Qi, to a cultivator, this was honestly a wonder treatment.
“Little Sister, why didn’t you mention such a good thing earlier.” Su Xing twitched his lips.
“Because this Warm Yang Qi Raising needs a long time of persistence in order to show results. Suwen also does not know what the end result would be.” An Suwen softly replied. “And…”
“And what?” Su Xing was curious.
“And Little Sister needs to massage the 720 acupuncture points in order to facilitate the process.” An Suwen was somewhat embarrassed.
Su Xing could count as knowing why An Suwen was too embarrassed to mention this. Seven hundred twenty acupuncture points. A person’s body altogether had seven hundred twenty of them. Would that not imply sincere trust between the two? Su Xing faked a cough, feigning righteousness: “This isn’t anything shameful, Suwen, it isn’t right for you to be this lacking in confidence.”
An Suwen wen, “En.” Actually thinking, she seemed to have done something even more shameful for the “Big Brother” before her.2 This was only a massage. Furthermore, seeing Su Xing practice such a self-harming cultivation method, An Suwen’s heart could not bear it. She whispered: “Then Little Sister will carefully serve Big Brother…however, it will hurt slightly at the very beginning. Big Brother must bear with it.”
“It’s fine, could it be able to get through the Chaotic Tail Escape?” Su Xing smiled.
Although his words were spoken with a clear conscience, when it was actually time to undress himself of those shorts, he was somewhat embarrassed, “Do I really need to undress?” Su Xing chuckled.
“You actually do not, but there will be some pain.”
An Suwen’s face was slightly red, and she shallowly smiled.
“Then it’s fine.” Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief, then lied back down on the bed.
An Suwen took in a deep breath. Her white finger slightly extended, and a faint clear light gradually appeared on her fingertip. Her fingertip touched, and suddenly came a sort of pain like his meridians were being burned by fire. Fortunately, Su Xing’s Chaotic Tail Escape was practiced to proficiency. This pain was still bearable, but following An Suwen’s acupuncture technique’s gentleness, there was another sort of feeling that was unbearable.
This scene was just like they had returned to that time when An Suwen originally refined the pills for breakthrough to Galaxy Stage for his sake, possessing an unclear strangeness.
An Suwen lightly bit her red lips, doing her utmost to throw herself into the “Warm Yang Qi Raising” acupuncture technique massage.
In the air, a trace of ambiguity passed through.
…
Outside the Void Immortal’s Abode
Wu Xinjie and Lin Yingmei were currently listening to Shi Yuan recount the affair of Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain in the Vermilion Bird Territory. The various kinds of thrills the two beauties heard split them into shock, and when they learned Su Xing contracted the Leisure Star, the ranked fourth Dragon in the Clouds, Wu Xinjie felt this was unforeseen.
That Su Xing contracted a new sister, Wu Xinjie naturally knew, but she did not know who. Originally, she had thought it was one of the Earthly Star Little Sisters, yet she did not think it would be the number one in magic energy Leisure Star. Regarding this gossip, Wu Xinjie naturally was very curious. The persons involved, Gongsun Huang and Yan Yizhen, currently were in the Star Nest self-cultivating, and Wu Siyou only spoke generally about the concrete details.
“Little Sister Siyou has approved of the man Yingmei looks upon, right.” Wu Xinjie saw Wu Siyou was seemingly somewhat absent-minded, and her eyes slightly turned.
“En.” Wu Siyou nodded. “However, if Su Xing dares to disappoint Yingmei, Your Servant naturally will not be polite with him.”
“Heh, heh, why does Little Sister not simply sign a contract with Young Lord? Xinjie thinks that Yingmei might also be thinking this…Yingmei, is this correct?” Wu Xinjie asked.
Lin Yingmei nodded.
“Your Servant cannot betray the name of the Pilgrim!” Wu Siyou shook her head. Although she had intended to refuse, Wu Xinjie was astonished to find Wu Siyou seemingly did not have any conflicting intentions, as if it was only because of some reason that she was slow and uncertain to make a firm resolution.
The Knowledge Star immediately thought this was to be expected, after all, the Harm Star was the previous generation’s overlord. This virtually was another chain. The super self-respecting Wu Song signing a contract undoubtedly would be taken as a joke in Liangshan. Regardless of how things were, she would rather die. Not signing a contract probably was Wu Siyou’s bottom line.
Wu Xinjie said this was a pity.
“Siyou, then what do you plan to do next?” Lin Yingmei sighed.
“Your Servant will fulfill her duties. Evil Smiting Hall will commence after a month. At that time, Your Servant will accompany you in entering Evil Smiting Hall. Before then, Your Servant has some matters to attend to. Yingmei. He actually is a man that can make others very relieved. Your Servant need not worry.” Wu Siyou said.
Lin Yingmei sighed.
A moment afterwards, the door to the Immortal’s Abode opened, and An Suwen unhurriedly exited thoroughly red in the face.
“Is Young Lord alright?”
“There are no big hindrances. He can completely recover with several days’ self-cultivation.” An Suwen said.
“Oh, very good. Xinjie shall go give Young Lord a nice surprise.” Wu Xinjie’s eyes were somewhat crafty, and she impatiently ran into the Immortal’s Abode.
“Sister Xinjie, hand this over to Su Xing.” Shi Yuan shouted.
Wu Xinjie turned her head, and a magnificent and vivid Four Symbols Jade Seal fell into her hand. This was Enviless of the East’s Four Symbols Seal. Originally, Su Xing knew that Enviless of the East would spare no effort to stop him. For this reason, he intentionally allowed the Thief Star Shi Yuan who had self-cultivated for a long time to go steal it while he himself attracted Enviless of the East’s attention. WIth those excellent hiding techniques of the Thief Star, she had greater certainty than if Su Xing were to go grab it.
Seeing Shi Yuan currently study meticulously the “Five Poisons Banner” Su Xing gave to her, Wu Xinjie smiled.
When Wu Xinjie left, Wu Siyou said: “Yingmei, can Your Servant ask you a question?”
“What question?”
“What if some day, someone made you leave Su Xing, what would you do? That if you refuse, Su Xing would die!” Wu Siyou asked.
Lin Yingmei did not expect she would ask this. For a time, she was silent, and then she unhurriedly said: “Your Servant would stake her life to kill that person.”
Wu Siyou smiled, somewhat approving while also carrying a bit of some other meaning.
“Siyou, why would you want to ask this? Are you hiding something else?”
Lin Yingmei furrowed her brow. She discovered that ever since they returned, several people had been slightly odd. Yan Yizhen and Gongsun Huang were exhausting all possible speed to quickly recover their vitality. If this was before, Little Yi would not stay in the Star Nest. Mostly, she would exploit the spiritual power of the Immortal’s Abode to slowly recuperate because although the Star Nest was very good, it had some effects on the Star Master. Furthermore, Shi Yuan also meticulously studied the Five Poisons Banner and Five Poisons Beast Souls since she returned.
