Chapter 81: Tea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Thud thud thud!”

Miao Chengyang was covered in injuries and blood splattered all over the ground In the dilapidated courtyard. He retreated more than a hundred feet before he managed to stabilize himself.

Immediately, he felt a pain in his chest. He staggered and knelt down weakly.

Trying his best to support himself with his hands, he looked up with anger and resentment. “Pei Ling killed my younger brother, messed up my state of mind and ruined my Dao heart! If I don’t kill him, my inner demon will not go away and my path will be hopeless! This is an irreconcilable grudge. Why do you have to hold back? If you don’t kill me, I’ll kill Pei Ling!”

In the pavilion, Jiao Ni was still sitting quietly and doing her embroidery. The long hair that spread out behind her head covered the sky, almost blocking the entire courtyard.

She said calmly, “You’re unlucky. If Pei Ling had failed to absorb fire into his body just now, I wouldn’t save him or stop you from killing him. But now that he has proven his value, how can I allow you to hurt him?

But you’re lucky too. The more unpolished you are, the more you need to be polished. A true genius’ life is never smooth sailing. Now that you and Pei Ling are mortal enemies, you will be a good whetstone.

That’s why I won’t kill you. Now you have to swear two great oaths. Firstly, you must not leak what happened today. Secondly, you must not attack Pei Ling before he enters the inner sect.”

Miao Chengyang’s expression was ferocious, and his seething resentment had reached boiling point. He was already prepared to die here. He could not help but be stunned when he heard this.

He thought quickly and asked in a low voice, “So what happens after Pei Ling enters the inner sect?”

“I won’t interfere in a battle between people of the same realm, and neither will Master.” Jiao Ni casually inserted the needle into the human skin and raised the embroidery hoop to take a closer look. She seemed to be checking for mistakes as she said indifferently, “If Pei Ling dies in your hands, it’s because he’s trash and not worthy of Master’s attention.

But he’s still at the Qi Refinement realm. Anyone above the Foundation Establishment realm will die if they touch him!

“…” Miao Chengyang’s expression was dark. His inner demon had been nurtured since he heard of Miao Cheng’an’s death. The trip to the Dream Sensing Forest had alerted him and he was aware that his inner demon had begun to take shape.

If he couldn’t kill Pei Ling as soon as possible and resolve the emotional turmoil brought about by his younger brother’s death, his inner demon would definitely grow stronger with time.

When the time came…

Not only would it increase the possibility of him being devoured by it, but it would also affect all aspects of his cultivation.

After a while, Miao Chengyang said coldly, “Since core disciple Li’s attendant can threaten me, core disciple Zhou can also attack Zheng Jingshan. Miss Jiao Ni, are you really going to let the battle between the two core disciples escalate before core disciple Li comes out of seclusion? Can you bear the responsibility?”

Jiao Ni put the embroidery hoop down and continued embroidering slowly without looking up. “The position of Saintess will only belong to my master.”

Miao Chengyang’s expression darkened for a moment before he suddenly said, “Alright! I swear!”

He had no chance of winning against Jiao Ni.

Even core disciple Zhou could not moderate the other party’s attitude. At this moment, he could only lower his head.

After all, if they continued to fight head-on, he would definitely die.

Even if Miao Chengyang was not afraid of death, he did not want to lose his life for nothing.

For Pei Ling to be valued by core disciple Li and even send a ghost maid to protect him at the Qi Refinement realm, this is a treatment that Zheng Jingshan doesn’t have. He thought expressionlessly, His talent is probably above my expectations! But wasn’t I the number one disciple in the outer sect back then? Otherwise, how could I have obtained the rare opportunity to enter the inner sect?

I’m already at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. After Pei Ling reaches the Foundation Establishment realm, I can personally avenge Cheng’an…

There’s no need to die for no reason here.

I’ll let Pei Ling live until he enters the inner sect.

At the thought of this, Miao Chengyang coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He raised one hand and swore two Heart Demon Oaths according to Jiao Ni’s request. Then he staggered and got up to leave.

However, he could not approach the passageway that was not far away.

“Miss Jiao Ni, what are you doing?” Miao Chengyang’s heart sank when he saw this.

Jiao Ni looked up at him with dark eyes. “Have some tea before you leave.”

Tea?

Miao Chengyang was stunned. Then he looked at the bowl on the stone table that he did not dare to touch just now.

“I appreciate your kindness, Miss.” The corner of his eye twitched as he tried to refuse. “But I’m not thirsty now.”

Jiao Ni focused on her embroidery as if she did not hear him.

Miao Chengyang took a few more steps towards the passageway. Seeing that he still could not approach further, he knew that he could not leave without drinking that bowl of tea. His expression changed slightly.

This female ghost made me swear two oaths and said that she wanted me to be a whetstone for Pei Ling, that little bastard, Miao Chengyang thought quickly. So even if there’s a problem with this bowl of tea, it wouldn’t kill me on the spot.

He gritted his teeth and staggered to the pavilion to pick up the bowl of tea.

The tea was dark and he could not see the bottom of the bowl. He got a fleeting glimpse of live creatures in the tea.

However, as soon as Miao Chengyang touched the bowl, the water in it bubbled like boiling water, and several fingernail-sized blisters appeared.

In each bubble, there was an eyeball that seemed to have just popped out. It was bloodshot and stared fixedly at him!

“…” Miao Chengyang could not help but freeze. He looked up at Jiao Ni and saw that the female ghost was looking at him calmly and coldly.

Through the gaps in her black hair which covered the sky and earth behind her, he saw a huge mutated beast that was almost 10 stories tall holding a bloody thigh bone. It leaned out from behind the courtyard door and looked down with malice.

“Tick-tock, tick-tock…”

A few drops of blood slid down the thigh bone and dripped in front of Miao Chengyang.

His expression changed drastically. He stared at the ‘tea’ for a moment, made up his mind, raised his head, and drank it in one gulp. Then he quickly turned around and strode towards the passageway.

This time, the passageway did not reject him.

Soon Miao Chengyang returned to the bottom of the Gu Abyss.

Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he fell to his knees, covered in sweat. He held his stomach and let out a miserable cry!

… A huge Bone Flower slowly bloomed behind Pei Ling, and countless white bone chains wrapped around him tightly.

In front of him stood Ouyang Xianxing. An extremely cold palm gently touched his face.

Ouyang Xianxing’s face changed into Ouyang Xianmeng’s. At this moment, the white bone chain tightened. At the same time, the chain began to absorb his Qi, blood, and spiritual power. For a moment, it changed to Ouyang Xianxing’s face. She was anxious to let Pei Ling go.

“Senior Sister, how are you?” Pei Ling was on the verge of death, but his expression was very calm. While Ouyang Xianxing had the upper hand, he asked, “Will something happen to you?”

“I’ll be fine. She can’t do anything to me before she gets the armor.” Ouyang Xianxing was stunned. She did not expect Pei Ling to still be thinking about her at a time like this. She suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart and said quickly, “I’ll undo the Bone Flower for you now. Escape immediately, as far as you can, but don’t get close to the east or southeast.”

Pei Ling said, “Alright!”

Actually, he could have used the Hundred-Mile Evasion Talisman given by Zheng Jingshan to escape when he was attacked. However, Ouyang Xianxing had done her best for him. He could not escape alone without telling her.

However, now that he understood the situation, it was useless to stay. He might lose his life. So… Pei Ling was about to activate the talisman when a familiar palace dress suddenly appeared in the air in front of him.
