What If I Can't Die?-Chapter 113 - I Only Want to Give this Woman a Home
113 I Only Want to Give this Woman a Home
The man was wearing a green felt hat and looked like a young master. He looked even more beautiful than ordinary women.
However, this person’s face was too gentle and did not have any masculinity to him. Furthermore, he seemed to have applied makeup and oiled his hair. It did not match Song Shi’s aesthetic standards for men…
Song Shi took a look and retracted his gaze. His attention passed through the silver door and he realized that there was another world inside.
It was completely different from the world of ice and snow outside. There was green grass and many flowers.
“Young Master Ximen, this is the new outer sect disciple that Master values, Liu Ruxue.”
“What about him?”
Song Shi realized that he was being stared at and took the initiative to introduce himself, “Liu Ruxue’s Dao companion, Song Shi.”
“Are you crazy that you want to be a Dao companion of a Qi Refinement cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm? Or do you have ulterior motives?”
Ximen Le’s voice was cold and questioning, causing Liu Ruxue’s expression to change.
“When I was with Xue’er, I was still at Qi Refinement.”
Song Shi said calmly. He vaguely felt that this pretty boy was a little hostile. Could it be that he had his eyes on his woman?
“Oh.”
Ximen Le said meaningfully, “Is there really such a good thing?”
“Senior, that’s indeed the case.”
Liu Ruxue explained.
“Young Master Ximen, I’m preparing to bring him in as an outer sect disciple’s Dao companion. Please help me register.”
Elder Yuan said.
“Alright, come in. Tell me your hometown and age.”
“Silken City, 18 years old.”
Song Shi calmly explained his situation.
Ximen Le’s expression changed as he sized up Song Shi, “You’re only 18?”
“You can count me as nineteen if you want.” Song Shi sensed that this fellow’s hostility was a little obvious.
“Elder Yuan, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with him? Which Foundation Establishment Cultivator at such a young age isn’t a genius of a sect? How could an outer sect disciple who’s training be so lucky to encounter him and even snare him as a Dao companion?”
Ximen Le’s suspicious look made Elder Yuan frown, “Young Master Ximen, the world is in chaos now. Many once hidden pearls are blooming1. You should know about this.
“For example, not long ago, he awakened a Connate Spirit Body in the Imperial City. He reached the Foundation Establishment realm in just two months and that person is only a descendant of a mortal family.”
“Then what’s so special about him? Why can he be at the Foundation Establishment realm at such a young age?”
Ximen Le wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.
“It should be because he has a Connate Dharma Body. It should be easier for such people to reach the Foundation Establishment realm, right?”
Elder Yuan voiced her guess. Song Shi was only at the tenth level of Qi Refinement before he reached Foundation Establishment. It was impossible for him to have time to cultivate a Dharma Body. However, the Dharma Body that was revealed during Foundation Establishment was at the Connate realm.
“Connate Dharma Body? Not a bad talent. To cultivate it before the Golden Core realm will ensure that your journey ahead will be quite smooth.”
A hint of jealousy flashed across Ximen Le’s face. He didn’t say anything else and took out a jade token.
He made a hand seal and wrote something in the air. Then, he threw a wooden token to Song Shi.
“This is a temporary identity token. Don’t walk around casually after you enter. If anything happens, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
He said coldly and made way for Song Shi to enter.
It was different from what he had imagined, where there were beauties were everywhere. After entering, it looked a little deserted. Occasionally, he would see someone, but they looked hurried and seemed to be very busy.
On the other hand, the flowers and plants along the way were very exquisite. The architectural style was beautiful and elegant and was arranged neatly as well.
“This year’s outer sect disciples are still training outside. The other disciples are also cultivating. If there’s nothing important, they usually won’t come out.”
Liu Ruxue saw that Song Shi was a little surprised and told him the reason.
At this moment, the jade pendant in Ximen Le’s hand flashed. He received the message and turned around. “Liu Ruxue, come with me to see Master.”
At this point, he said reluctantly to Song Shi, “You go too.”
“That was quick.”
Song Shi had thought that he would have to wait for a few days. Why did he have to meet the Master as soon as he arrived? He was not even mentally prepared.
At the same time, he was surprised that Ximen Le was the disciple of Zi Yue. In the future, since he would be in the same sect as Liu Ruxue he felt that Ximen Le was a petty man.
“Congratulations, Xue’er, Song Shi. You were received by Master the moment you arrived. It’s obvious that Master cares a lot about you. You have to perform well later.”
Elder Yuan congratulated them from the side.
Liu Ruxue became a little nervous and subconsciously grabbed Song Shi’s hand.
“What background does your master have? Explain it to me.”
Song Shi asked.
“She’s a Golden Core cultivator and an inner sect elder. She’s one of the most promising people in the Yao Moon Palace to form the Nascent Soul.”
Liu Ruxue was envious. “Because of this, Master is one of the core members of the sect. Her status is extremely respected.”
“Oh.”
Song Shi nodded and followed Ximen Le to the back of the mountain. In a square, circular Array Formations of different colors were engraved.
Ximen Le didn’t say anything along the way. He led them to a circular Array Formation and chanted an incantation. The Array Formation lit up brightly, and the surrounding space distorted.
Song Shi only felt dazed for a moment before he appeared in a palace. Only then did he react.
That should have been a short-distance teleportation formation just now. It was really magical.
“Follow me.”
Ximen Le led them deeper into the palace. After passing a few doors, they suddenly stopped.
“Wait here.”
Song Shi was left behind while Liu Ruxue was brought to a bedroom. Soon, she walked out with a smile.
“Young Master, I’ve already officially acknowledged my master. However, Master wants to test you before deciding whether to let you enter the Yao Moon Palace. You have to work hard.”
Liu Ruxue waved her small fists and told him what Song Shi had to do next.
“I’ll do my best.”
Song Shi was not too confident.
“Song Shi, come here.”
Ximen Le’s voice sounded.
Song Shi took a deep breath and walked over. He was quite curious about what Fairy Zi Yue looked like.
He was brought to a deserted inner hall. In front of him was a flight of stairs that was covered by a layer of purple gauze. Behind him was a jade bed on which a graceful figure could be vaguely seen lying.
Song Shi couldn’t help but take a few more glances at this indistinct mysterious beauty. In the end, Ximen Le snorted coldly. “Keep your eyes in place. Don’t think that you can look around just because you’re outside!”
“A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman[2.’A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman’ is a Chinese saying to describe how men can’t help but admire and want to pursue beautiful women]. I’m just admiring her.”
Song Shi corrected him and bowed to the graceful figure, “Greetings, senior.”
“You’re so young, but you’re already so glib-tongued. How many women do you want to harm by coming to the Yao Moon Palace?”
Zi Yue spoke. Her voice was as pleasant as a fairy’s voice and it carried a different kind of Charm that made people want to listen to it forever.
“I don’t seek to harm these women. I just want to give a home to the woman I like.”
Song Shi replied shamelessly. He was not afraid of Golden Core cultivators. After all, he had already interacted with them quite a bit.
“How dare you! Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Ximen Le berated, he felt that Song Shi was teasing Fairy Zi Yue.
“Le’er, you go down first.”
Fairy Zi Yue was not angry, instead, she asked Ximen Le to leave. This pretty boy looked at Song Shi coldly, his hostility was obvious.
“Is there something wrong with this guy’s head? Why is he hostile to me?”
Song Shi was puzzled. He had never had a conflict with this fellow before. This was definitely their first meeting.
