Chapter 7: Meng Lin’s Fine Poems

Li Ze stood with his hands behind his back and continued, “Do you know why I came to the Yin-Yang Sect?”

Cai Xiaonuo asked in confusion, “Because the Yin-Yang Sect has abundant Spirit Qi? To practice spells?”

“Not entirely. I’ll give you a simple explanation of my goals here.”

“First, for the abundant Spirit Qi. Second, to avoid the Child of Destiny while increasing my strength. Third, to study formations and search for materials. Fourth, to prepare for the death of the Child of Destiny. Fifth, to seek opportunities.”

“Sixth, to find my own Dao. Seventh, to restore the Long Star Spear.”

Cai Xiaonuo grew upset at the mention of the Child of Destiny.

“Li Quan carries himself like an immortal, yet he treats life like grass. He cruelly slaughtered my Cai household. I, Cai Xiaonuo, will definitely have my revenge!”

She spoke with a tone laced with fury.

“Rest assured. Given his nature, even if we don’t look for him, he will eventually come looking for us when he has the chance. We only need to be prepared and wait for him to come and deliver himself to his death.”

“The Child of Destiny is protected by the Heavenly Dao. How can we kill him?”

“The Heavenly Dao is, after all, just the Heavenly Dao.”

“The Heavenly Dao must follow the rules of the Heavenly Dao. We only need to utilize those rules.”

Li Ze looked down at the layers of clouds beneath the cliff.

He sat down again and watched the sunset on the horizon.

The peach forest served as a backdrop for the young girl in her light red and white clothes, creating an exceptionally fitting scene.

The view of the sunset from this cliff was excellent.

“Senior, it’s so beautiful…”

The girl stared ahead blankly.

“Senior?”

“What are you thinking about? Look at the sunset in front of us!”

“It’s so beautiful…”

(￣▽￣)

Looking at the swallows flying on the horizon, Li Ze said, “Actually, in another world, I had a warm home just like you!”

His voice was a little softer than his usual cold tone.

“But… I am already dead in that world.”

“By now, the grass on my grave is probably growing tall…”

“So a Great Power of the Profound Soul Realm is also a person with warmth.”

Previously, Cai Xiaonuo thought that once Li Ze’s Dao foundation was repaired, he would kill her because she no longer had any value.

But now, she felt at ease.

“Senior! You still have me, don’t you? (^▽^)”

“Indeed, I still have you and your constitution of blocked meridians and accumulated impurities. With that violent Chaos Spiritual Power, even a slight lapse in caution could cause your body to explode.”

“The fact that you are still alive is truly a miracle to the people of this world.”

Cai Xiaonuo scratched her head.

“Hehe… that’s only because you are so incredible, Senior!”

“It’s getting late. It’s time to head back.”

The girl stood up and walked back the way she came.

“By the way, Senior, tomorrow morning we have to gather at the terrace to practice basic swordsmanship.”

A sharp pain shot through Li Ze’s soul.

He gritted his teeth and pretended nothing was wrong.

“Fine. I’ll just substitute for your training tomorrow.”

After saying that, he handed control back to Cai Xiaonuo.

Li Ze entered his sea of consciousness and sat cross-legged, reflecting on the reason for his wounded soul.

Back on Earth, when his body was pierced by the spear, it had also damaged his soul.

Then, during the battle against Li Quan at the Cai household, Li Ze’s soul, which had not yet recovered, was damaged once again.

There were two ways to restore the soul.

One was Soul-Nourishing Wood, and the other was to devour the souls of cultivators with a higher realm than his own.

The former was inefficient, while the latter provided rapid recovery, but it required killing many people and carried extreme risks.

On the terrace square, a formation of women in white dresses held long swords, practicing their sword techniques in perfect unison.

The clumsy Cai Xiaonuo fumbled with her sword awkwardly.

Inside the sea of consciousness, Li Ze thought: “This is for the best. Let her practice well. It will give her some ability to protect herself in the future.”

At the foot of the mountain, a man and a woman arrived at a secluded stone cave.

The woman’s voice was seductive as she spoke, “Senior Brother Su Baiyu, this secluded cave is quite nice.”

“Senior Brother must satisfy this Junior Sister this time, or I won’t let you leave!”

Su Baiyu wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist.

“That’s a certainty. Junior Sister Meng Lin, this time I specifically brought a Long-Lasting Power Pill for you.”

Meng Lin looked at Su Baiyu shyly.

“Senior Brother, you’re so wicked. Lin’er loves it so much!”

Finished speaking, Su Baiyu spread a blanket on the ground.

Meng Lin slowly untied her belt, revealing her smooth, white shoulders…

“Senior Brother, this time Lin’er wants to be on top!”

Su Baiyu interlaced his fingers with Meng Lin’s.

“I shall follow Junior Sister’s arrangements.”

“Mmm—, ah~”

“The effect of the Long-Lasting Power Pill is really good. Senior Brother is much more forceful than before!”

“Ah—”

“It hurts… help me!”

With a flirtatious expression, Meng Lin said, “Senior Brother, you must prepare more pills in the future.”

“Ah… mmm…”

“Lin’er loves it so much!”

“Good… now Senior Brother is going to get serious!!”

“Ah— mmm~”

“Save me!”

…

The woman’s cries echoed inside the stone cave, but almost no sound leaked out to the exterior.

At the terrace, Cai Xiaonuo finished her sword practice.

“Let’s go down the mountain. There is an important matter to attend to.”

Li Ze intended to find a place with abundant Spirit Qi to breathe and cultivate.

Li Ze took control of the body and cast a spell to move down the mountain via the sect’s terrace teleportation formation.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Li Ze stood on a flying formation with his hands behind his back, circling the Rank 9 Spirit Vein where the Yin-Yang Sect was situated.

Li Ze circled for a long time; there was no helping it, as the Spirit Vein mountain was truly massive.

“Found it!”

Before him was a naturally formed stone cave.

The trees here were lush, and the cliff provided hidden cover.

The Spirit Qi overflowing from the Spirit Vein was most concentrated inside this cave.

Most importantly, due to the obstruction of the mountain, the Spirit Qi was mostly trapped inside the cave.

It was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to discover.

“I looked for so long, why did Senior find such an ordinary-looking cave? (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣”

Cai Xiaonuo was puzzled.

“This place is most suitable for cultivation. You’ll understand once you go in.”

Li Ze steered the flying formation to the cave entrance and faintly heard a woman’s cries and pleas for mercy.

“I beg of you, let me go!”

“Ah!… Ah~”

“It hurts… help!”

“Mmm… ah~”

“It hurts!!”

“Help me!!”

“Ah! It hurts… mmm~”

“I beg you, let me go…”

The cries for help drifted out of the cave.

Hearing the screams, Cai Xiaonuo said urgently, “Someone is in danger! Senior, save them quickly!”

When Li Ze was on Earth, he was a person with a strong sense of justice.

Facing this situation, he naturally felt duty-bound.

Li Ze stepped quickly into the cave, but the scene before him left the young girl stunned.

He saw a naked woman, her body trembling, her thighs white and wet, her face wearing an expression of extreme pleasure.

She was letting out cries that sounded like screams of pain while a man held both her hands and moved against her.

The blanket on the ground was already thick and wet, and their clothes lay nearby.

The woman’s voice echoed through the cave.

Li Ze was instantly speechless.

Immortal cultivators were truly something else, playing so wildly.

The man and woman, hearing the commotion, stopped what they were doing.

Meng Lin collapsed onto the blanket, her eyes staring blankly at the stone ceiling above, seemingly not yet back to her senses!

Su Baiyu hurriedly put his clothes back on and said, “Who’s there! Come out right now!”

Su Baiyu was somewhat confused.

How could anyone come to such a secluded place?

Li Ze felt a bit awkward, so he turned to leave.

Seeing this, Meng Lin grew frantic.

“Senior Brother, don’t let this person leave.”

“If our secret is discovered, our cultivation will be crippled and we will be expelled from the sect.”

Su Baiyu naturally understood this.

“Don’t worry, Junior Sister. This person will definitely not leave here alive!”

He immediately drew his sword and chased after the girl, intending to kill her to keep the secret between him and Meng Lin.

Sword in hand, Su Baiyu arrived before Li Ze with an aggressive aura.

“Since you saw what happened between us, then obediently leave your life behind.”

As he finished speaking, Su Baiyu leaped up, his long sword thrusting directly toward the girl’s heart.

“This guy is insane!”

Li Ze cursed in his mind. Immediately, a crimson sharp sword flew out from his storage bag, blocking the fatal strike.

Li Ze muttered, “Spirit Realm Seventh Stage. My soul is damaged, and I can’t exert my full strength. This is going to be a bit tricky.”

Li Ze then responded, “Fellow Daoist, there is no need for this. I will not speak of this matter.”

“Humph!”

“Only the dead keep their mouths shut forever.”

Before he even finished speaking, formation flags flew out from Su Baiyu’s storage bag, quickly planting themselves near the girl.

Su Baiyu spread his hands and raised them.

“Green Sword Formation!”

“Rise!!”

Li Ze was quick. Before the formation could be fully deployed, the red sword pierced through Su Baiyu’s chest.

Su Baiyu’s eyes went wide, and he coughed up blood as he collapsed.

Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, I didn’t let him deploy the Green Sword Formation. The lethality of that formation is comparable to the Dao Realm.”

In his current state, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it at all.

Now, only the woman who was not skilled in combat remained in the cave.

Li Ze dragged Su Baiyu’s corpse with one hand and held his sword in the other as he slowly walked into the stone cave.

Seeing this, Meng Lin felt as if the God of Death was walking toward her.

Li Ze stood before Meng Lin and asked, “What is your relationship with this man? Explain everything in detail.”

Initially, the disheveled Meng Lin was unwilling to speak, but she looked at the corpse on the ground.

She opened her mouth, “His name is Su Baiyu. He is my Senior Brother. He was already engaged to be married, but he kept pestering me every day, and so I slowly fell in love with him…”

“Fellow Daoist, we have no grievances. Please spare my life.”

In her desperate anxiety, she hurriedly added, “As long as you let me go, I am willing to do anything. I beg of you!”

Meng Lin clutched the long skirt of the white-clothed girl, looking up at her with a pitiful expression.

The girl did not respond, only staring at her.

Meng Lin suddenly had a realization and gave the girl a look that said “I understand.”

“Could it be that Fellow Daoist wants to… with me?”

Halfway through her sentence, Meng Lin pulled open a string on her clothing.

Her clothes slipped off, revealing her damp body.

Meng Lin moved to embrace the girl…
