Chapter 37 - 37 37 Unscrupulous Sword Cultivator

37: Chapter 37 Unscrupulous Sword Cultivator 37: Chapter 37 Unscrupulous Sword Cultivator After saying this,

Jia Liu cut off the communication.

Xie Xuanyi once again exited from the Divine Soul state…

The Divine Soul Treasure crafted by the Demon Country followed an extremely strict hierarchical system.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, it was likely centered around the “Great Venerate,” where both the venerates and the spies were merely parts of the web constructed by the Treasure.

The stronger one’s power, the higher their status, and the greater their privileges within this soul web.

Jia Liu could initiate a “call” with Yi San and also disconnect it at any time.

But as a subordinate, Yi San could only accept and obey the arrangements of his superiors.

“The handover date is set for three days from now…”

Xie Xuanyi leaned against the stone wall, lost in thought.

According to what that venerate had said, Jia Liu would enter the city tomorrow…

A Cultivator of that level would surely know the importance of Bai Ze’s finger bone, and under normal circumstances, the handover should have been completed this morning.

Yet Jia Liu was not in a hurry, setting the time for three days later.

This was too strange.

“Has this guy deliberately left three days, perhaps to prepare some sort of scheme for me?”

Xie Xuanyi had a bad feeling.

If Jia Liu truly was a Cultivator of the Cave Heaven Realm, that would be terrible.

Even Xu You from the Qi-controlling Realm had been difficult for him to kill.

After using two Green Yuan Pills, with the current amount of Primordial Energy he possessed, the likelihood of killing a Cultivator from the Cave Heaven Realm was practically zero.

…

…

“Good morning.”

Deng Baiyi had the best sleep she ever had, waking up refreshed and clear-headed.

But when she pulled back the bed curtains,

her expression turned somewhat strange.

The guest room was cramped with only one table, which now was filled with Lichao City’s specialty teas and snacks, steamer after steamer of small dumplings, a pot of steaming hot soymilk, and tender, boneless fermented black bean spare ribs.

What she found most outrageous

was the completely unfamiliar Xie Zhen in front of her.

Xie Zhen had no idea where he had procured a small stove, now fanning the flames to simmer a pot of congee.

“You’re awake?”

Xie Xuanyi greeted her flatly.

“Yeah…

What are you doing?”

Deng Baiyi rubbed her temples, puzzled, “Didn’t you say I was to be the maidservant, and you the young master?”

Since when did a young master prepare breakfast for a maidservant?

She instinctively reached out to grab a steaming hot bun.

With a slap,

Xie Xuanyi irritably swatted away Deng Baiyi’s hand.

“Miss Deng, you are currently my chambermaid.”

Xie Xuanyi said with a helpless smile, “You don’t think I prepared all this for you, do you?”

Deng Baiyi: “???”

If not for herself, then for whom?

Who else was there?

The next moment, she understood.

The little one who was deeply asleep on the bed took a deep sniff with her nose, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, and with a fish flopping motion, though inconvenienced by her legs, it didn’t hinder her one bit as she rolled over to the table and started to feast voraciously.

Deng Baiyi watched, dumbfounded.

Jiang Huang’s eyes sparkled as she focused on the food in front of her…

This was the most abundant meal she had since following Xie Xuanyi for so many days.

Traveling with Xie Xuanyi from Northern County to Qing State, they hardly had a place to rest, and the conditions were incredibly tough.

While they weren’t starving with three meals in three days, it was mostly dry rations.

Though the little one wasn’t picky, who would refuse delicious food?

“Is this kid a reincarnation of a gluttonous fiend?”

Deng Baiyi had never seen a child with such an appetite, Jiang Huang’s meal could almost match her own intake for three days.

Was this a little cotton-padded jacket or a huge rice bucket?

“Gluttonous fiend…”

Xie Xuanyi smiled helplessly.

Gluttonous fiends were indeed formidable, and in some sense, they could also be considered descendants of Dragon Blood…

But Jiang Huang’s bloodline was by no means inferior!

Although he did not know what Jiang Huang had experienced in the Imperial City over the years, the concentration of phoenix blood within her was now much richer than when Xie Xuanyi first met her…

The legendary True Phoenix had been extinct from the world and no longer existed.

But perhaps one day in the future, this little one could become a Mutant Phoenix!

“Be careful eating, don’t burn yourself.”

Xie Xuanyi brought the clay pot porridge to the table, and sat opposite Jiang Huang, cautiously starting the conversation, “How does the meal taste?”

“Very, very good!”

Groggy from sleep and getting up for food, Jiang Huang’s voice was also muzzy.

Smiling, Xie Xuanyi asked, “Do you like it?”

At these words,

Jiang Huang’s sleepy eyes suddenly widened into perfect circles.

She sensed something amiss.

“Like…

Can I like it?”

The little one was somewhat wary.

“Of course.”

Xie Xuanyi nodded seriously, solemnly saying, “If you like it, there will be more every day.”

Jiang Huang looked at Xie Xuanyi doubtfully.

All that remained unspoken.

“What’s this about?”

Xie Xuanyi’s smile remained, “You call me dad and mom every day.

How could I let you down?”

Jiang Huang kept silent.

She looked at the disarray on the table and quickly picked up her share of the freshly cooked clay pot porridge.

As a top-tier Great Demon with phoenix blood flowing in her veins…

she certainly didn’t fear high temperatures.

Deng Baiyi’s expression was complicated, watching, as Jiang Huang drank the entire pot of piping hot porridge.

Belch!

A doubtful, satiated burp—

Just as flames were about to shoot out from Jiang Huang’s throat, she quickly put her hands over her mouth.

She remembered the admonitions Xie Xuanyi had given her.

If a third person was present, without permission, she was not to directly call out Xie Xuanyi’s real name.

She was also not to exhibit any abilities related to “fire,” even in front of sister Deng Baiyi.

Though Jiang Huang’s divine soul had been severely damaged after escaping from the Imperial City, demoting her intellect to the level of a seven- or eight-year-old child… she was still very obedient and well-behaved.

After a while, she calmed down and asked in a low voice, “Is there anything I need to do?”

“Very clever.”

Xie Xuanyi whispered, “Sister Baiyi is cultivating these days…

She needs to borrow a few strands of your hair for it.

Sister Baiyi is always so good to you, you certainly can’t bear to refuse her, right?”

Deng Baiyi was once again dumbfounded: “???”

Although from the beginning, she had guessed it.

The carefully prepared breakfast by Xie Zhen certainly wasn’t out of kindness.

But she really hadn’t expected that he would use her as a “shield.”

Jiang Huang nodded frantically.

She looked at Deng Baiyi, then at Xie Xuanyi, and blinked, “So…

I just need to give a few strands of hair?”

“If it’s convenient, add a few other things as well.”

Xie Xuanyi smiled, “It might hurt a little bit, though.”

Jiang Huang shook her head, earnestly saying, “For sister Baiyi, I can bear the pain.”

Hearing this, Deng Baiyi couldn’t contain herself anymore.

She dragged Xie Xuanyi out of the guest room to the corridor, and said angrily, “Xie, I didn’t realize before how unscrupulous you could be!”

Xie Xuanyi smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Couldn’t you be honest about borrowing a few strands of hair?” Deng Baiyi put her hands on her hips, “And deceiving a seven-year-old girl, do you feel no shame?”

Seven years old…

Xie Xuanyi’s mouth twitched slightly.

Jiang Huang’s actual age was probably much longer than his and Deng Baiyi’s put together.

“Congratulations, you’ve seen my true nature.

I’ve always been this way, unscrupulous in achieving my goals.

Deceiving a little girl is nothing to me.”

Xie Xuanyi shrugged, unconcerned, “Look, isn’t she happy now?

Everyone is pleased.”

Deng Baiyi found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

“Even so.”

She still said with no good air, “Why did you have to use my name when borrowing a few strands of hair?”

“Because it’s not me who needs the hair; it’s you.”

Xie Xuanyi calmly stated, “In a sense, the breakfast just now wasn’t made for Jiang Huang, but for you…

the hand that takes is the hand that’s indebted, and only when the little one is happy can you smoothly pluck a bit of fur.”

Deng Baiyi was stunned.

“You’ve already learned the Purity Talisman and the Qi Talisman.

Starting today, I’m going to teach you a great formation.”

Xie Xuanyi raised a finger and said slowly, “A formation capable of killing across realms, listed under the forbidden limits of Da Chu’s imperial laws!”
