Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Xiao Yueyin dropped down to her knees breathing heavily, and droplets of sweat dripped down onto the floor from her face. Although she felt exhausted, she was also excited. She can feel her will has broken through!

The Will or the Dao Heart represents the declaration of a Cultivator's mentality to pursue cultivation. A strong will is crucial in the Life Destruction Realm.

For if you wish to break through Life Destruction, you'll need to forcefully destroy your Crystalize Dantian before rebuilding it piece by piece.

The horrendous pain you would need to endure during this process simply cannot be put into words.

Xiao Yueyin was currently at the Eight Life Destruction, and with this mental breakthrough, she's confident in advancing to the Ninth Life Destruction. Completing the Ninefalls.

Moments later, Xiao Yueyin mentally recovered and her breathing steadied. She stood up and stared at Xia Lihua with mixed feelings. She was no longer afraid of looking at her but there was still a feeling that was making her uncomfortable.

This was the first time she had a really good look at Xia Lihua. This was by far the most beautiful woman she has ever seen in her life. She exudes such natural confidence that it made her subconsciously feel a sense of inferiority.

Xiao Yueyin shook her head and rid herself of such thought.

I am worthy. She suddenly said.

""

Seeing that she was once again getting ignored, she pinched her eyebrows together.

Who are you? She asked.

Hearing this, Ji Xian's eyes moved between the two women. Xia Lihua obviously had no intention to reply so he said, My Young Lady is from humble origins, we are merely wandering and experiencing the world.

Xiao Yueyin naturally didnt believe him. From Xia Lihuas strength, Xiao Yueyin was certain that she was in the Holy realm and no one in this realm is unknown in the Mortal Desolate World. Even if they were, nothing can be kept hidden from the Arcane Mountain.

Furthermore, Xia Lihua had a dragon bloodline.

All this time she thought she was the only one. Suddenly she felt a kindred familiarity with this woman who she has never met.

Unfortunately, Xia Lihua didnt feel the same. She didnt care for Xiao Yueyin and continued to ignore her.

Ji Xian silently chuckled after sensing the weird tension between them.

Xiao Yueyin can also sense it. Unfortunately, she wasnt good with words and didnt know how to relieve it. After giving it a brief thought, she properly introduced herself.

"My name is Xiao Yueyin. An Elder from the Arcane Mountain."

She didn't dare to mention her title Dragon Saintess in front of Xia Lihua.

"..."

Ji Xian was amused seeing her act so cold and distant. The Xia Lihua he knows has always been quite casual and never looked down on people. He couldnt help but wonder if her behavior was being affected by her bloodline.

Xiao Yueyin stood there awkwardly. Perhaps it was due to Xia Lihuas overwhelming strength, but she was acting rather humble.

A knock suddenly came from the door and Guo Xinyi walked in with Lin Roulan.

Sister Yueyin, is everything alright? She asked. After waiting for so long, she figured she should check-in.

Xiao Yueyin nodded. She decided not to tell her friend the truth about Xia Lihuas strength. She needed to consult her master first about this unknown expert.

The City Lord just announced the All Desolate Competition will begin in two days.

I see

Guo Xinyi can see her friend had something on her mind, although she was curious and had some suspicions, she trust that Xiao Yueyin will tell her when she is ready.

Seeing that Xia Lihua didnt want to interact with her, Xiao Yueyin can only give out a bitter sigh before deciding to return to her disciples. She bid Guo Xinyi goodbye and gave Xia Lihua one last look before leaving.

Lin Roulan stayed and happily spend more time with them.

Xia Lihua's attitude towards Lin Roulan and Guo Xinyi was a complete one-eighty compared to Xiao Yueyin. This made Ji Xian more certain that dragons may inherently not like each other. Especially, when one is stronger than the other.

After two hours, Guo Xinyi personally escorted Lin Roulan home, leaving the duo alone in the room.

Ji Xian smiled and gave Xia Lihua a funny look, he asked, So? Want to talk about it?

About what?

You just met someone with a dragon bloodline for the first time in your life, and thats how you want to behave?

""

Ji Xian shook his head, The existence of you and her are as rare as Noble Beasts. In the entire Mortal Haven World, there is only you with a dragon bloodline, the first ever in history to awaken it. And judging from Xiao Yueyin's reaction, it's obvious she's also the only one with such a bloodline in the Mortal Desolate World.

Dragons... the two of you are miracles.

""

He saw Xia Lihuas thoughtful expression and didnt say anymore, he stood up and stroked her soft face a few times before laying down on the bed she was using to cultivate. He pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes, immediately falling asleep.

A while later.

She stands up and carefully sits beside him on the bed. She gently looks at him for a couple of minutes before pulling out a book and begins reading it.

Ji Xian had given her this book when Xiao Yueyin, Guo Xinyi, and Lin Roulan were unconscious.

He had written down a method to cultivate the Internal World. The biggest flaw of Body Cultivation is the rate at which they can produce Astral Essence, he aimed to rectify this and more.

Late into the night, Guo Xinyi finally returned but she wasnt alone. Xiao Yueyin was beside her!

They stepped into the room and saw a strange sight. Xia Lihua was sitting casually on her bed with one leg bent, and the other relaxed. She was reading a thick book.

The light from the stars shined through the window and partially highlighted her face. Her silver eyes glittered brightly in the darkness looking like a pair of jewels.

Her beautiful profile left the two women speechless.

Guo Xinyi and Xiao Yueyin blushed and their hearts raced.

They noticed a figure laying down beside her and discovered it was Ji Xian. He was still wearing a cloth around his face and was sleeping peacefully.

Exchanging a glance, a confused expression appeared on their faces and questions popped up one after the other.

Why is he sleeping and not watching over his Young Lady?

Why is a servant sleeping on the same bed as the master?

Why do they look so intimate?

For some reason, Xiao Yueyin and Guo Xinyi felt jealous!
