Chapter 2 Master, I did all this for you!
In the sleeping hall of Heartless Peak, the perimeter guards were stricter than usual, but Xiao Ming’s status as a Disciple meant that passing through was naturally not an issue.
Inside the blood-colored hall, the light was dim. Only a few Soul Lamps flickered with a ghastly green glow, illuminating the stone seat carved from Black Blood Jade in the center, making it look like a throne yet also a cage.
Luo Li was reclining within it.
She wore a dark purple wide-sleeved dress with flowing cloud patterns. The hem spread out like the night sky, yet it was quietly slit below her waist. She might have been peerlessly elegant while walking, but at this moment, only a few teasing glimpses of snow-white skin were revealed by her lazily crossed legs. The dress was masterfully tailored, clinging to her exquisite curves. Intricate dark patterns swirled around her chest, outlining a startling, full arc that seemed ready to burst forth, yet also guarding it closely, adding a touch of ascetic temptation.
Her beauty carried a sense of aloofness that brooked no profanity. Her skin had an ivory base but radiated a translucent, jade-like luster from within—this was the natural, desolate aura of the Mystic Yin Body. Her lips were naturally a rich, blood-red color, the only intense warm hue on her peerlessly clear and elegant face, striking to the point of being almost demonic.
Most captivating were those peach blossom eyes—the corners naturally bore a faint, purple-red marking that looked like weeping blood. Even though they were half-closed due to exhaustion, the shimmering light within them was as deep as a cold pool in an ancient well, clear yet bottomless. It wasn't the coldness of emotion, but the silent manifestation of her life's Origin.
She merely used her long, jade-like fingertips to lazily press against her temple, her hair slightly disheveled. However, if someone with keen perception were to observe closely, they would find that this seemingly cold and aloof Peak Revered Master’s long, slender legs were unconsciously rubbing together slightly, as if she were resisting some sort of throbbing spreading from deep within her body.
She was like a night-blooming cereus blooming alone under the moon, cold and stunningly beautiful. But the dew condensed on the petals hinted that inside this body carved from ice and jade, an unknown heat and torment were burning.
Wow~ She really is breathtakingly beautiful!
"Revered Master, your Disciple has specifically come to visit you."
Xiao Ming cupped his hands slightly, quietly observing her, as the System panel surfaced.
After seeing it clearly, he was shocked! — The Mystic Yin Body!
[Name: Luo Li]
[Physique: Mystic Yin Body (Top-tier Cauldron Physique, easily coveted)]
[Realm: Cultivation lost (Original: Peak Nascent Soul Stage)]
[Luck Rank: Green (Daughter of Fortune)]
[Life Script: Not long ago, while accompanying her Senior Sister—Luo Hongyi, the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect—to explore a Secret Realm, she was unfortunately ambushed and seriously injured by a group of mysterious black-robed men. She used a secret technique to flee back to the Sect over half a month ago. Although her injuries have healed, her cultivation is slowly draining. Her Senior Sister, Luo Hongyi, deduced it to be a long-lost sinister technique—the "nine nether demon seed." Due to the lack of records, they only know its name and the current situation of her cultivation draining; they know nothing else. Because of the undercurrents within the Sect, there are people everywhere hoping for something to happen to the sisters. Luo Hongyi did not make this matter public; only she and a few trusted subordinates in the entire Sect know. Three days later, while returning from her Senior Sister's place, Luo Li encounters the black-robed men and is eventually saved by the Child of Fortune. Luo Li finds him dignified and quite interesting. The two talk happily, and her impression of him is very good. Later, after being forced by the Child of Fortune, her heart is filled with mixed feelings and entangled with inexplicable emotions, eventually falling in love over time and being conquered by him.]
Luo Li, meanwhile, glanced at him with a look of doubt. Since she lost her cultivation, many people had come by, but they all actually had ulterior motives. In these few months, she had already seen through the fickleness of the world.
Now, this Disciple whom she had barely paid attention to after taking him in suddenly thought to visit her; it was nine parts out of ten suspicious.
Although Xiao Ming was her Disciple, aside from being quite handsome, he really had no other strengths.
His Cultivation potential was mediocre; he basically had no hope of reaching the Golden Core in this lifetime, let alone the Realms beyond.
In fact, Luo Li had a purpose when she took him as a Disciple back then. She and her Senior Sister had accidentally obtained a Cultivation Technique that relied on plucking a man's Vital Yang Qi to Breakthrough in cultivation.
Of course, it wasn't the kind of Dual Cultivation Technique; it only required using a secret thread method to control him and make him enter an illusion for the plucking!
But before it could be implemented, Luo Li was poisoned and lost her cultivation, and she still hadn't found a solution.
She slowly snapped back to her senses, and seeing Xiao Ming's direct gaze, she was about to flare up in anger.
As a result, Xiao Ming spoke first. With a flick of his sleeve, the usual respect and cowardice were gone from his face, replaced by a slight, intriguing smile.
"Revered Master, the nine nether demon seed is exceptionally overbearing. Please allow your Disciple to detoxify you!!"
