Otherworldly-Cultivator-Chapter 598 Three Women
598 Three Women
After he returned from the inn, Li Jingyun first made sure that there were no other people around Leng Yueyan's residence area, and he released the gu insect in the bottle not far from his room after making sure that everything was safe. He smiled faintly, seeing the gu insect moving quickly into her room, and left the area.
Unfortunately, Li Jingyun didn't realize that two women were watching his actions; he couldn't sense it because one of them enveloped the other with her aura, and the difference in their cultivation was too great.
Soon, the gu insect was enveloped by a transparent aura before floating towards the hand of the woman, who was none other than Xiao Shijian. Having sensed Li Jingyun's killing intent towards Chen Li, she kept a close watch on him.
"I didn't expect that Li Jingyun would have a relationship with someone from the dark moon sect." Diao Hudie said with a heavy sigh as she watched Xiao Shijian destroy the gu insect.
Xiao Shijian shook her head at Diao Hudie. "Li Jingyun doesn't have a direct connection with the people from that sect, but his friend does, and he was the one who contacted them to help them control Leng Yueyan."
"A friend of Li Jingyun?"
"Hua Gaoyun is staying there now." Xiao Shijian answered as he pointed towards the inn. "The man who assisted him was Gu Tingyun, and he wanted to forcefully take Xue Xueyan home, but Leng Yueyan would definitely stop him. Unfortunately, Li Jingyun was too stupid, so he didn't realize their bad intentions. They would never hand her over to him, and they wanted to use her body as a cultivation furnace."
"How did you know the matter in such detail, Master?
"If you've lived as long as I have, you'll get used to everything." Xiao Shijian then looked up at the night sky before continuing to speak. "This realm is too small for me, and I can hear everyone's conversations, so I can easily find out everyone's evil plans in this realm and stop them. Unfortunately, my old friend still needs a lot of challenges, so I won't do anything to them, and I will only move if he is in a life-threatening situation."
"How long have you lived, Master?" With a curious look, Diao Hudie inquired.
Xiao Shijian turned to Diao Hudie before opening her palm; above it, an image of her past appeared. However, only she and darkness were in the picture. "I was born when this universe was still empty, and it has existed for billions of years, so you should be able to guess it, right?"
Diao Hudie's jaw dropped after she heard that, especially since she had previously seen Xiao Shijian's true form. She looked so young, flawlessly beautiful, and unrivaledly sexy, but she was the first living thing born in their universe.
"Do you know the meaning of my name?" Diao Hudie shook her head at Xiao Shijian. "My name means time, and my old friend gave me that name."
"Your old friend?" Diao Hudie felt confused for a moment, but she then remembered Chen Li immediately. "Is Long Wang truly your old friend, Master?"
Before telling Diao Hudie, Xiao Shijian nodded. "My old friend is the second living being born in this universe, so he is my very first friend, but he was born as a golden dragon, and we were the ones who gave each other names. Unfortunately, we have different fates, especially since I will never die because I am time, and the universe will die if I'm dead. Despite his power as the king of the dragons, Long Wang's lifespan is limited, and he has undergone numerous reincarnations. The current him is his latest reincarnation, but he will be able to return to being my old friend in the future, and I just need to wait for the time to come."
Xiao Shijian's explanation made Diao Hudie even more shocked, and she never thought that Chen Li was the reincarnation of the second living creature in their universe, let alone that the creature was a golden dragon, the king of the dragons.
Xiao Shijian then spoke to Diao Hudie again. "He has expressed his interest in you, right? Now that you know a little about his past and the strength of the people on his side, you should no longer hesitate to accept him, right? Moreover, we will leave this realm in the future because it is too small, and there are many things waiting for us in the higher realms, so it would be better if you made a decision soon."
"No." Diao Hudie immediately refused, shaking her head. "I admit that Long Wang is extraordinary, especially since you are by his side as well as the others. However, I don't have any interest in him yet, so I won't make a decision any time soon, and I will wait for him to prove his seriousness to me by fulfilling the conditions I gave him before."
Xiao Shijan then averted her gaze and inquired. "Aren't you coming out to meet me, Mao Qianqian's first disciple?"
Diao Hudie also looked in that direction, and Ye Xiaoling suddenly appeared in front of them before cupping her hands towards Xiao Shijian. "Long time no see, Senior."
"A thousand years is indeed quite a long time." Xiao Shijian responded with a nod. "It appears that your old injuries are still in your body, and you can't recover completely because the quality of Qi in this realm is too poor. As for your original body, I've met her hundreds of years ago, but she was not in good condition either."
"Eh?" Diao Hudie was surprised to hear that. "Is this really not your real body, Sister Xiaoling?"
"No." Ye Xiaoling answered by shaking her head. "The current me is one of my clones, and my original body is in one of the realms in the higher realms now. As Senior Shijian said just now, my original body is still in bad condition, so she locked herself in seclusion, or else her injury will recover longer."
Suddenly, Xiao Shijian disappeared from their sight, confusing the two women, but she soon reappeared with Gu Tingyun in his arms. 'Fuck! How did this woman find me? I didn't even have time to blink, let alone run away from her, and I fell into her hands without being able to put up a fight.'
"Why didn't you capture Hua Gaoyun at once, Master?" Diao Hudie asked, glaring fiercely at Gu Tingyun, her hatred for the heretics of the Dark Moon sect particularly strong.
"Hehe." Xiao Shijian chuckled at that. "Hua Gaoyun is quite strong, but my old friend can handle him, so I will leave him for now. As for this guy, he is quite cunning by hiding in the shadows, and it will be a little difficult to capture him, so I have to move to capture him."
"What are you going to do to him, Senior?"
"What else?"
Both women's eyes widened immediately as they saw Gu Tingyun rapidly aging, but he didn't notice the changes in him, and he only felt so tired before closing his eyes. A few seconds later, he had already been reduced to dust and was carried away by the night wind, and Diao Hudie took a deep breath before speaking. "Master, your ability to control time is truly terrifying; he didn't even realize he was dead."
"You're right." Xiao Shijian replied with a nod of approval, but her expression immediately turned sad. "However, I don't like my abilities because they are a curse to me, which means I have to live forever like this, and I have witnessed too many deaths of people I know. Sometimes I wish I could live a normal life like you two, so I can die together with them, but sadly, it will never happen."
Diao Hudie and Ye Xiaoling couldn't say anything to comfort Xiao Shijian. Even though they hadn't lived as long as hers, they could understand her feelings about losing those close to her. Unfortunately, life and death are the fate of living beings, and no one can go against it, including cultivators.
"Anyway, let's go back to your room, and I want to create a gravity formation like my old friend wanted." Xiao Shijian said this to Diao Hudie before turning to Ye Xiaoling. "You can tell Leng Yueyan about this matter later and tell her not to do anything to Li Jingyun now. As for Hua Gaoyun, let my old friend take care of him after he settles his matters with Qin Li."
"Yes, Senior." After they disappeared from her sight, Ye Xiaoling went straight to Leng Yueyan's room, but she found she was too engrossed in her cultivation. 'Sigh. I've told her that she should remain alert even if she is inside this sect, especially since there are too many humans with two faces in this world. Luckily, Senior Shijian noticed Li Jingyun's actions, or else she would have fallen into their hands.'
Ye Xiaoling did not disturb Leng Yueyan and waited by the window for her to finish her cultivation, but her eyes continued to look towards Li Jingyun's residence. 'That guy is too greedy, and he always wants more authority, but I didn't expect that he would dare to do such a thing.'
