Chapter 92: His Heart Moved For Her

Lou Mu Yan ignored Ming Xiu’s complex gaze behind her that carried slight fervent flames. She walked to the edge of the wounding green mist and scrutinised it.

“This is the poisonous mist released by that Frost Jiao. It’ll dissipate automatically after an hour.” Ming Xiu stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lou Mu Yan.

Mo Yan on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder, with an enigmatic expression, looked at the devilishly captivating man in red who approached them. This man was very strong. This was the first thing he sensed about Ming Xiu.

“You want the Scarlet-Frost Jiao’s Crystal Core?” Lou Mu Yan lowered her eyes, then said leisurely after a while.

Both of them spoke nothing of what occurred just now, and each had their own plans.

Ming Xiu replied indifferently: “Naturally.”

“Ming Xiu, let’s make a deal.” Lou Mu Yan looked at Ming Xiu seriously.

She had just learnt from Mo Han that the Scarlet-Frost Jiao hidden deep in the bottom of the lake had concealed its cultivation base using a Secret Skill. It was actually a Tier 6 Demonic Beast and could be even more powerful.

Now, even if she joined forces with Mo Yan, she would still be unable to fight a Tier 6 Demonic Beast that was at the level of a Sword Monarch. At the very least, she wouldn’t be able to slay it, let alone obtain the Deep Orchid, that’s why she wanted to cooperate with Ming Xiu.

Ming Xiu’s eyes revealed slight interest and asked with a faint smile: “What sort of trade?” There was a faint guess in his heart.

“Your cultivation base already broke through to Sword Sovereign. The Spirit Cleansing Pill that I gave you last time has little effect on you now. Let’s work together. You kill the Scarlet-Frost Jiao, I’ll use its Crystal Core to refine a pill for you, and I can guarantee that it’s effect will be more than three times better than you refining the Crystal Core alone.” Lou Mu Yan said with calm and composure.

“You want the Deep Orchid to refine a pill?” Ming Xiu asked Lou Mu Yan instead of answering immediately.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t hide it and nodded: “The Deep Orchid is very important to me. To be more precise, it’s the pill that’s made with the Deep Orchid as one of its main ingredients that’s very important to me.”

“What kind of pill?” Ming Xiu was a little curious about which Grade this woman’s Alchemy skills were at.

“Foundation Establishment Pill. You wouldn’t know even if I said it.” Lou Mu Yan paused, then continued: “But if you can help me obtain the Deep Orchid, I can give you one. It’s effect is similar to the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but it’s a more advanced pill. It’s effective even for people with Sword Monarch strength and above.”

“The effect is similar to that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill? There’s an even more Heaven-defying pill?” Even if Ming Xiu had extensive experience, he had never heard of the Foundation Establishment Pill before, but he believed this little woman’s words.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was actually a pill used by Immortal Cultivators1 to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. It could wash the marrow, cleanse the body, and expand the meridians. The most important effect was that it helped a Cultivator to establish their foundation. Of course, not every Cultivator who took the Foundation Establishment Pill was able to successfully establish their foundation. With any pill, they only played a support role.

The Meditation Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage were definitely both watersheds for Cultivators. But almost none of the Sword Masters on Tian’ling Continent had Spiritual Roots. So they couldn’t establish foundations and could only use it to wash their marrow and expel all the impurities that were once hidden in their bodies.

“The Foundation Establishment Pill does indeed have this effect. You’re now at the strength of a Sword Sovereign. Although it won’t help you expand your meridians by many-fold, but it can at least still be able to cleanse all the meridians in your body, and flush out all the negative energy impurities.”

Lou Mu Yan looked at Ming Xiu with a deep gaze, “In fact, you’re the one that’s at the advantage in this trade. Just say yes or no.”

“You’ve already said all that, so does This Highness still have any reason to reject?” Ming Xiu let out a low laugh.

This kind of pill moved even his heart as he listened. He sure didn’t know what other skills this woman had. She was like a book—with every page he opened, it would pleasantly surprise him. He really was looking forward to flipping through this book page by page.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who stood behind the two of them had completely frozen, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost. Just what did he see just now? Master, who had always been avoidant of females as if he were afraid he couldn’t evade them, actually leaned down to kiss that young girl.

Then hearing the conversation that the two didn’t avoid speaking in front him, the shock in his heart couldn’t be calmed for a long time. That woman was actually the Alchemist that refined the Marrow Cleansing Pill that was currently being spoken of everywhere, and she could even refine a pill that Sword Monarch strength people could use to remove impurities. This was simply too unbelievable.

And looking at Master’s reaction, it was obvious that he knew about it. No wonder he would look at this young girl differently. It appeared that this woman was very special, hence why it attracted their Master’s attention. Otherwise with Master’s temperament, he wouldn’t approach others on purpose simply to win them over.

He sighed. It seemed that this time, Mo Lan was over. If Master’s heart truly moved for this woman, then he naturally wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her. In the future, he better be more respectful to this woman. Maybe she would be their Mistress2 in the future.

“Of course there’s no reason to refuse.” Lou Mu Yan smiled, her eyes curving, “Then are we going to wait for the wounding green mist to disperse before entering?”

She found that hidden in this layer of green mist was extreme venom, and even if a Sword Monarch level expert inhaled it, they would be poisoned.

“No need. This Highness naturally has a way.” Ming Xiu unintentionally exuded a domineering attitude as if looking down upon the world. His inborn noble temperament always inadvertently made one feel respect in fear.

As soon as his voice fell, Ming Xiu took out a black gem that emitted a fluorescent light. After channelling some Elemental Energy, the black gem instantly shone brightly, and a black circle of light enveloped him and Lou Mu Yan.

“Mo Gui, you stand guard outside and don’t allow anyone in.” Ming Xiu said lukewarmly.

“Yes, Master!” The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

Ming Xiu naturally took Lou Mu Yan’s hand and stepped into the wounding green mist. Mo Yan stared at the intertwined hands with an obscure expression.

Lou Mu Yan felt her left hand being wrapped in a big, warm hand, and she fell into a slight daze. She lowered her eyes and looked at the hand held by Ming Xiu, but in the end, she didn’t shake it off, and let him pull her forward.

Ming Xiu’s lips rose into a slight arc and there was a slight smile in his cold, phoenix eyes.

As soon as the layers of green mist touched the black circle of light, it would automatically scatter as if it had met its nemesis, and the toxins contained in the mist couldn’t penetrate the black light circle either.

“That Scarlet-Frost Jiao is releasing such a strong body venom, is it possibly advancing?” After Lou Mu Yan stepped into the green mist, she felt a very small energy fluctuation that came from the deep lake in the distance.

A touch of surprise flashed past Ming Xiu’s eyes. With this little woman’s cultivation base as a Sword Spirit, she could actually discover the energy fluctuations in the depths of that cold lake. It seemed that her Mental Energy had exceeded her cultivation base by a lot.

Ever since their first encounter in the Blazing Mountain Range, he had been slightly interested in her, and even inexplicably gifted her that ice bangle that had a special meaning behind it. After discovering that she was auctioning the Marrow Cleansing Pill at the auction, he asked people to collect recent information about her, then gradually, he began to pay more and more attention to her, while she attracted his attention more and more as well.

A thick layer of ink rose in Ming Xiu’s deep, black eyes that were like a well. So it seemed that his heart had started moving for her long ago without even knowing when.

Holding that petite, soft hand, Ming Xiu’s heart felt as if it were inexplicably filled with something. For the first time, there was something that could affect his calm emotions, and he not only didn’t feel dislike to this type of emotion, but even wanted to be filled more with it.

He could see that the little woman only felt that he was special, or was interested in him, but her heart had yet to move for him. But he wasn’t in a hurry. He would slowly, step by step, take her beneath his wing, and let her, little by little, bloom only for him.

Lou Mu Yan, being able to hold your hand this time means that you’ll be This Highness’s woman in the future, so don’t even think about being able to break free for the rest of your life.

1just to clarify, Immortal Cultivators is the term for the people who cultivated the path to immortality in Lou Mu Yan’s previous world. (Like how here, they’re called ‘Sword Masters’). They’re not actually immortal (though eventually they will be if they continue cultivating ofc). ‘Cultivators’ with a capital ‘C’ refers to cultivators in the previous world as well. I think I need to do some fixing in terminology in previous chapters too. I’ll do that later~

2just to clarify in case people feel the word ‘mistress’ implies a woman who has affairs with a married man (which, unfortunately, it does have that meaning), but formally, it is the counterpart to ‘Master’. I did a search and it’s the only word that really fits (aside from Madame but hmmm). In Chinese, the word is 主母 which translates literally to ‘main mother’ and 主子 just means ‘master’ with the 子 being an affix at the end with no real meaning. Anyways, I’ll stick with Mistress for this story which means main (and only) wife!

Note: XD, MX being so possessive already. Obvs if our fl doesn’t like it, she wouldn’t let it happen either. Hehehe. And same, Mo Gui, same, rather shocking indeed. And ahhh, yay holding hands~~~
