âLooks like youâre not too intellectually deficient after all.â
The woman appeared to have heard of Chu Jiaoâs inner conjecture and finally stopped teasing her, sitting upright.
She waved her hand and the red silk canopied bed as well as the two male pets vanished, turning the entire room into an empty hall. She was adorned in a golden buttoned Chinese jacket with large sleeves, sitting on the sole red lacquered golden eagle phoenix Xumi seat(1).
Xumi seat:
âThy name is Wan Xi.â The womanâs voice no longer carried its previous enticing tone, instead, it sounded distant. âHowever, this name has long been forgotten by the people.â
âThey mostly refer to me asâ¦.the Joyous Union Demonic Ancestorâ¦.â
The Joyous Union Demonic Ancestor!
As expected, she was the lord she had read about back in Cang Jing Pavilion! The Joyous Union Lord who had a furnace constitution, went against the contemporary principles of yin and yang, turned to cultivate in the demonic path and gained fame in the three realms!
âHehe, so this is the history that the future generations have written about me?â The Joyous Union Lord listened to Chu Jiaoâs evaluation and felt quite delighted.
âThis junior is ignorant and has only had a superficial peep into an ancient text, hoping to obtain my lordâs forgiveness!â
Chu Jiao promptly confessed her sins. She could only feel extreme pleasant surprise for having been given such an opportunity and didnât want to lose this opportunity of extracting more information about the âdual cultivationâ method of those with furnace constitution just because she had carelessly offended Wan Xi.
âAlright, you little doll, thereâs no need to harbor too many thoughts in your heart.
âSince youâre able to step into this place, it must mean that this is in your destiny.â
âAfter all, Iâve already waited for a milleniumâ¦.â
âYou are the onlyâ¦.â
Only what? Wan Xi had not finished her words but Chu Jiao had surmised that it was because she had the same furnace constitution as her.
âMy godly sense can not be maintained for longâ¦.â
âCome here.â
Chu Jiao obeyed and stepped forward, deferentially hanging her head before Wan Xi.
The woman reached out a slim finger and pressed it on the center of her forehead.
âConcentrate.â
âI know what you are seeking.â
A silver white jade appeared on above Chu Jiaâs spiritual platform.
Chu Jiao felt bewildered inside. Could it beâ¦..the âNine Mysterious Constituents Scripturesâ?
The Joyous Union Lordâs voice continued to linger in Chu Jiaoâs ears.
âThis cultivation method I created was made for the purpose of establishing a new road for female cultivators with a furnace body, but while I was ascending to immortality, that repulsive Taoist priest Zi Rong made a fool of me and destroyed my Joyous Union Sect, implicating the âNine Mysterious Constituents Scripturesâ as well.â
It really was the âNine Mysterious Constituents Scripturesâ! Chu Jiaoâs bewilderness turned into pleasant surprise. There was finally a remedy to her furnace body!
On the other hand, Wan Xi appeared to have been immersed in reminiscing about her past experiences. She remained silent for a long time, and only continued after a while had passed.
âNevermind, I wonât bring up the past anymoreâ¦.â
âI had originally builtâ¦this secret territory in order to provide the juniors of the Joyous Union Sect a place to cultivate. I had also left behind a strand of my godly sense to guard against the unexpected.â
âNever did I expect that after a millenia had passed, the Joyous Union Sect would no longer exist and my tradition would be broken offâ¦.â
âI first thought that a little lass like you had no remarkable skill to speak of, after all, youâve only managed to build your foundation at the age of 20.â
âThinking back to my years, this lord had only been in her teens when she broke through foundation establishment.â
Chu Jiao gave a bitter smile and listened to the complaints the Joyous Union Lord had. She couldnât do anything about her innate characteristic of lacking much wit.
âHoweverâ¦.â Wan Xi changed the topic again. âAt least my influence seems to have been passed down, daring to do matters that traditionalists donât dare to execute.â
Hm? Chu Jiao didnât quite understand what she meant.
âHeheâ¦.â Wan Xi chuckled ambiguously. âTo have the audacity to seduce your master to dual cultivateâ¦shows how big your guts are. I like that.â
Chu Jiao heard this and revealed an embarrassed expression, and she got to know more of the Joyous Union Lordâs morbid tastes.
âBack in those days, I couldnât stand those hypocrites who would only harp about upholding justice all day long. Theyâd sound dignified but their hearts were filthier than anyone elseâs.â
âHowever, hehe, that master of yours appears to be a rare upright gentleman.â
Hearing his master brought up into the conversation, Chu Jiao felt her heart quiver.
âRelax little lass. Iâm just a sack of old bones at this point. What are you expecting me to do towards your master? Hehe.â
âBack then I had at least 3000 boy toysâ¦.so Iâve already gotten tired of eatingâ¦..people like your master~â
Chu Jiao sweatdropped. She only felt incessant admiration for the Joyous Union Lordâs past history.
Wan Xi didnât continue to tease her and only poked her forehead, emitting another red light on her fingertips.
âEven though this secret territory has been exhausted by those traditionalistsâ¦â Chu Jiao pondered, Wan Xi must have been referring to the Sendai Refine that the 10 Big Sects had agreed upon to share. As it turns out, the secret territory wasnât ownerless because its owner had been right here all along.
âThere are still many good things here.â
âI can pass it on to you, but⦠I need you to do one thing for me.â
Pass it on to her?!
Was this her lucky day!?
Although Chu Jiao was incredibly pleased, she still held wariness. There was no such thing as a free meal in this world, so she bowed her head respectfully and inquired.
âMay this junior know what it is? If Chu Jiao is able to lend a hand with her abilities, My Lord may instruct this junior as much as she wants.â
âActuallyâ¦.itâs nothing much at all.â
âThere are just some small fries which I find displeasing to the eye and they are intending to make a raft out of my secret territory and fiddle with things I find extremely repulsive.â
âAnd so on my behalf,â¦I just want youâ¦to kill them all.â
