Chapter 29: An Ordinary Disciple’s Extraordinary Encounter

Seeing this, Luo Bingli nodded imperceptibly. Though Wang Qiu’er could be quite troublesome at times, her professional competence was, without a doubt, exceptional.

****

My name is Ye Xiaozi, and I am merely an ordinary, unremarkable disciple, one of many found throughout the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Due to my family background, I was naturally timid. Thus, not long after arriving at the Hundred Flowers Palace, I found myself targeted and bullied.

Of course, it wasn’t so much bullying as it was them taking advantage of their higher cultivation, having been here for a few years longer than my cohort. They simply wanted to seize the spirit stones we held.

I had heard that the Hundred Flowers Palace forbade harming new disciples, so naturally, I wouldn’t let these ruffians get their way.

However, in their frustration, they did beat me up. How infuriating! A maiden’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Just wait, in a decade, I’ll show them how I strike back.

As I silently wept from the bullying, Senior Sister Bai suddenly appeared before my eyes, like a white-robed immortal maiden. She taught my tormentors a lesson and then gave me a bottle of medicinal pills, so precious I couldn’t afford them even if I sold myself.

I felt as though I had fallen in love.

That bottle of pills, like a token of affection, became my most cherished possession. Yet, recently, it was inexplicably exposed. A Foundation Establishment realm Senior Sister, along with several Qi Condensation late-stage Senior Sisters, ambushed me when I went out, searching my person and confiscating the pills.

Just as I believed the pills were about to be stolen, the most beautiful woman in the entire Hundred Flowers Palace appeared before me. Upon seeing her exquisite beauty and graceful figure, I instantly felt ashamed of my own plainness.

Perhaps a girl like me appearing in her sight was an insult.

However, this immortal maiden, even more perfect than Senior Sister Bai, upheld justice against the Senior Sisters who had robbed me, returning my treasured ‘token of affection.’

Furthermore, she even gave me another ‘token of affection.’ Though, to call it a ‘token of affection’ was likely just her casually dismissing someone with a trinket.

Nevertheless, the Saintess’s smile and her flawless image made me wonder if she harbored feelings for me.

Even though I had experienced life’s three great illusions long before coming to the Hundred Flowers Palace, knowing is one thing. Couldn’t I allow myself a little fantasy?

Because of this, I didn’t consume either of the two pill ‘tokens of affection,’ stubbornly holding on to them.

After all, I had been beaten up often since childhood, so I was quite resilient. Besides, as long as I ate the braised pork from the cafeteria, I felt my body brimming with vitality, and my injuries would surely heal quickly.

In truth, the idea of injuries healing instantly just by eating braised pork was somewhat unreliable. Especially since those Senior Sisters were of a higher cultivation level than me; they likely caused some internal injuries while dealing with me.

Fortunately, my roommate, Xiaomei, couldn’t bear to watch. Just like three months prior, she procured a healing pill for me, which left me feeling a bit awkward.

After all, I had two bottles of healing pills in my possession, but due to psychological reasons, I hadn’t taken them, thus troubling Xiaomei.

Afterward, I apologized to Xiaomei, and to my surprise, she readily forgave me. Patting my shoulder, she told me that the friendship between maidens was the most precious treasure, urging me not to bear any psychological burden. She truly was an excellent roommate.

In that moment, I regarded Xiaomei as my best friend.

I had no idea where Xiaomei acquired the pill, but by the very next day, I felt completely refreshed, sensing that its quality was no worse than the one the Saintess had given me. Yet, when I asked Xiaomei twice, she offered no answer. Could it be that Xiaomei had stolen it? This made me quite worried.

After some thought, I decided to abandon my continuous cultivation plan and opted to find a temporary job instead. This way, I could earn more spirit stones. If someone came looking for Xiaomei later, I could help her pay them back.

Who would have thought that just one day later, someone else would come calling?

It seemed to be the main Leaf family, inviting me and a few other Leaf-surnamed disciples to dinner. So, after finishing my tasks early, I returned home to discuss the matter with Xiaomei.

Thankfully, Xiaomei saw through it clearly. I couldn’t refuse an invitation to go out, so I could only follow them.

Thus, we waited until evening. A remarkably stylish flying boat arrived to pick us up. This spectacle was, of course, witnessed by all our acquaintances nearby, who looked on with envy.

And so, I was taken to the legendary most famous pleasure house in the entire cultivation world.

Legend had it that guests here spent at least tens of thousands of spirit stones daily. Legend had it that the immortal maidens within were all like celestial beings. Legend had it…

In short, it was said to contain everything imaginable. The moment I stepped inside, I was dazzled. Many of the guests appeared to be senior experts.

No, not just the guests; even the dancing immortal maidens exuded an aura that filled me with trepidation. Each was clearly at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, perhaps even Golden Core.

Especially the lead dancing immortal maiden—I recognized her portrait! Wasn’t that Elder Su, the youngest elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace?

For a moment, I was utterly stunned by this extraordinarily opulent scene.

After a while, I was finally prompted by the leading Leaf family member and a great figure’s younger sister to look upstairs. *Hiss*… It was none other than the Saintess and Senior Sister Bai, figures who only appeared in my dreams!

Just yesterday, I had dreamt of them in intimate embrace, their bodies intertwined in passionate entanglement.

And today, I saw them interacting up there! Heavens, seeing the Saintess and Senior Sister Bai together was truly blissful.

‘What? Someone says I’m jealous? Why would I be jealous? I’d even wish to see them *hehehoho* in bed!’

It was only regrettable that Elder Su interrupted them midway. That damned Elder Su actually interrupted my Saintess and Senior Sister Bai’s intimacy! If only my cultivation wasn’t so low, I would have long since stepped forward to stop that old woman.

Damn it, it’s all because my cultivation is too low, all because my aptitude is too poor.

In this moment, for some unknown reason, a powerful emotion surged within me: I wanted to become stronger, I wanted better aptitude.

Then, inexplicably, my aptitude seemed to genuinely improve! I suddenly broke through to the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, instantly becoming part of the first echelon of our generation.

That wasn’t all. Many other jumbled things appeared in my mind, causing me to feel disoriented for the subsequent period. I barely even remembered how I got home.

According to Xiaomei’s explanation, it seemed I had awakened some kind of bloodline power. I didn’t understand it, but I felt, somehow, that I was truly different.

Thus, the next day, I decided to find a good job.
