“This girl shouldn’t be a demon, but she doesn’t look like a ghost. The fiery and cold contact just now was extremely condensed. Could it be that this girl is very strong?”
Thinking of the Mystic Yin Jade Body in the virtual frame, he seemed to have understood something.
The next morning, Shen Ping woke up from his ‘fainting’ and looked at his naked body. He pretended to be flustered and hurriedly put on his clothes. “Ladies, I… I can’t remember what happened last night. W-Why is this happening?”
The maidservant, Chunxiang, said angrily, “Young Master, you did something naughty last night while my Miss was sleeping. You ruined her innocence. What a beast!”
“Ah?!”
The delicate young lady glared at the maidservant and said gently, “Young Master, I don’t blame you for what happened last night. It’s cold. You probably wanted to keep warm and couldn’t control yourself for a while.”
“Miss…”
“My name is Xi Lengyan.”
Shen Ping hurriedly said, “Miss Xi, I-I will be responsible for you.”
The servant girl, Chunxiang, snorted. “A toad wants to eat swan meat. Do you know who my young lady is? Can you be responsible?”
“No matter what, I will be responsible.”
“That’s what you said. If you let my young lady down, I’ll tear you apart.”
The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself that these two girls’ acting skills were too lousy. At this moment, Xi Lengyan handed him a wild mountain drumstick. “Eat it. My maid knows some martial arts. She went hunting in the forest early in the morning. Young Master, quickly nourish your body.”
“Thankyou,MissXi.”
After eating the wild pheasant, the hunger in his stomach disappeared, and his strength recovered a lot. Originally, he planned to leave the ancient temple and hurry on his way, but it started raining again at noon.
“Young Master, the mountain path is wet and slippery. Let’s wait here for a few days before rushing to Shanyang County.”
“As you say, Miss.”
After a while, the rain was getting heavier. The three of them sat around the fire. Shen Ping chatted with Xi Lengyan and asked about her identity. Unfortunately, Chunxiang rebutted him every time at the critical moment.
It was not evening yet when the sky was dark and gloomy, and the ancient temple was like night.
“If Young Master is cold, you can sit closer.” Xi Lengyan said shyly.
Shen Ping smelled a fragrance and pounced on her without any hesitation. Since the young lady had the intention, how could he reject her? Last night, his body was weak and he did not have the time to enjoy himself. This time, he could not let this young lady who seduced him take advantage of him for nothing.
Soon, Xi Lengyan had seen what a true warrior was. Fortunately, her cultivation was not low and her skills were high. Otherwise, she would not have been able to withstand it. “Y-Young Master, rest first. I’m afraid your body won’t be able to take it. We can do it again tomorrow.” She said breathlessly, her forehead and back were covered in sweat.
Shen Ping indeed felt that his legs were a little weak, mainly because this body was really too weak and malnourished. After replenishing some food, he could already rely on his own ability to do more than ten consecutive times.
“Chunxiang, go to the forest and get some food to nourish Young Master.”
Chunxiang’s face was already covered in spring powder. She swallowed her saliva repeatedly. When she heard this, she could only leave the ancient temple reluctantly.
For the next five to six days, the weather was not good, and the rain kept falling. The three of them had nothing to do in the ancient temple and could only do some meaningful things. As Shen Ping increased his stamina, he secretly cultivated the Dao Wheel Formula. His limbs and bones were constantly nourished and washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Seven days passed. He could already do it more than 20 times, making the maid Chun Xiang dumbfounded. That night, the wind whistled outside the temple.
In front of the statue in the temple, seeing Shen Ping’s breathing had become steady, the maidservant, Chunxiang, said, “Miss, this scholar is too strong in that aspect. He’s simply more powerful than some demons. If not for the fact that Miss needs Yang qi, I would want to try it.”
Xi Lengyan chided, “You little hussy, you only know how to think about this. Why don’t you cultivate properly?”
Chunxiang said innocently, “Miss, you can’t fault me. I can’t stand watching Miss and the scholar do things every day.”
“You’re so talkative. Alright, let’s get down to business. Young Master Shen is indeed different from ordinary people. I originally thought that it would take at least two months. Now, according to this situation, I will be able to recover 60% of my strength in another seven to eight days. I’m just afraid that those detestable fellows will catch up.”
When Chunxiang heard this, she said, “Miss, don’t worry. We’ve done a lot along the way. We can definitely delay for more than a month. However, this barren mountain has been a little strange recently. When I was hunting in the forest, I sensed several demonic auras. It’s very likely that Miss leaked some aura when you recovered.”
Xi Lengyan frowned slightly. “The spiritual energy in this barren mountain is not very rich. Even if it nurtures demons, its strength will not be strong. I’m just afraid of alarming the Mountain God.”
While the two of them were talking, the sound of the wind was suddenly mixed with wolf howls. The two women immediately stood up. When the wolf howls got closer, Chunxiang’s brows relaxed. “Miss, it’s just a few wolf demons with less than a hundred years of cultivation. I’ll go deal with them now. I can get some meat to nourish Miss.” After saying that, her body disappeared.
A moment later, the surroundings instantly became incomparably quiet. The sound of the wind, the howls of wolves, and the cries of various insects disappeared. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air froze.
Xi Lengyan looked wary. The next moment, she turned around and stared at the statue with her limpid eyes. She said coldly, “Since the Mountain God is here, why are you sneaking around and not daring to show yourself?”
“Hahaha.” Laughter came from the statue. Then, the entire statue seemed to come to life and opened its stone eyes. “I didn’t expect the famous Ghost Concubine to come to my desolate mountain to seduce mortal scholars. If word gets out, I’m afraid the entire Demon Realm will become a joke.”
Xi Lengyan did not say a word, but the clothes on her body formed a refined white cloth, and it jumped out like lightning and wrapped the statue into a mummy.
However, balls of flames quickly surged out of the white cloth and spread over in an instant. At the same time, the collapsed wooden pillars of the ancient temple smashed towards Xi Lengyan.
Seeing this, she flung her long sleeve and wrapped it around Shen Ping, who was lying on the ground. In the blink of an eye, she flew out of the ancient temple. The ancient temple chased after them on the ground like a living creature. The vegetation in the forest grew crazily, and vines attacked continuously like an inescapable net.
Xi Lengyan brought Shen Ping and flew for dozens of breaths before arriving beside Chunxiang. The bell on her waist rang, instantly killing all the wolf demons surroundingChunxiang. “Let’s go!”
The two women’s escape technique was extremely fast. Even with Shen Ping, they were not affected at all. In a short while, they fled to a low hill near the desolate mountain.
“This is no longer the territory of the mountain range. It’s temporarily safe.” Xi Lengyan said softly.
Chunxiang could not help but say, “Miss, this desolate mountain only stretches for dozens of miles. The Mountain God’s cultivation level will not be high. With Miss’s cultivation, you should be able to kill him.”
Xi Lengyan shookher head. “The fact that this mountain can condense a deity position means that there’s probably a background behind it. If I kill it, it will cause trouble. My cultivation hasn’t recovered yet, so I can’t easily make enemies. Let’s go to Shanyang County first. Although the crowded place is disadvantageous to me, other demons won’t dare to barge in casually.”
Chunxiang understood what her miss meant. This time, the news of their encounter with the Mountain God would definitely be exposed. The forces chasing after her would definitely rush here as quickly as possible. If they went to the mountains again, it would be very dangerous.
Several hours later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Shanyang County. They found an inn and stayed there.
“Miss Xi, why are we in Shanyang County?”
“Last night, a caravan happened to pass by the ancient temple. Chunxiang and I brought you along with the caravan to the county at night. The deserted temple is not a place to stay for a long time. It’s better to come to the county as soon as possible.”
Xi Lengyan casually made up a lie. “I’ve already instructed the waiter to prepare delicious food and send it to the room later. Young Master, rest first. I’ll go to the city to buy some things.”
After she left with the maidservant, Shen Ping stretched his back. He knew everything that happened last night. He did not expect the young lady he met in the ancient temple in the barren mountain to be so famous. It was just a little troublesome.
“Ghost Concubine, could it really be a ghost? There’s also the Mountain God. If a desolate mountain can have a Mountain God, could there be a Heavenly Court in this world?”
