Chapter 9 Cultivating the Spirit Power (Part 2)

The two elves sent by his aunt had been raised up by Xiao Qi at the early age. Although hundreds of years had passed, their Spirit Powers were rather low. Xiao Qi never forced them and hope that they would be good anyway. Xiao Qi walked toward the backyard along the path and saw the pond not far away when he passed the corridor. In the late fall, lotus pond had lost the vigor and the flourishing blossom came to an end. It seemed that it could not resist the change of seasons, but actually it stayed in the mud quietly and gathered power for the coming year. This seemingly withered pond bore the hope that it would turn out to be vigorous again when spring dawned and flowers bloomed.

Xiao Qi had walked on the path to the bamboo forest for many times. But this time, he felt more pleased and swept away the depression completely. Perhaps because he would return to the Kingdom in a near future, his pace became much brisker.

Last night, Xiao Qi was in his weakest time, but it was also the time when the Spirit Power reborn. He had to endure such ice-and-fire torture once a month. And every time he experienced, his body would get slimmer and sorcery become more delicate. The airflow of his body would make him fly in the sky freely like a butterfly at any time, and his whole body was surrounded by Spirit Power. Xiao Qi would like to know what difference between his Spirit Power and the Ancient Spirit.

In the bamboo forest, Xiao Qi slowed down his pace and looked around. He could not catch sight of Qin Lengyue at all.

“Mentor, Lengyue has been practicing for a long time.”

Xiao Qi looked indifferent but scrupulous in mind. She was afraid that he had seen through her identity as Jiang Wuyou. Rather than being haunted with fear, she would rather spend more energy becoming a useful person, a person who Xiao Qi could not afford to abandon. People like Xiao Qi tended to conceal their desire deepest. They looked peaceful and calm, but waves roared under the tranquil lake.

The best way to test others was to attack sneakly. As for Xiao Qi, he planned to see the real ability of this soul. He knew Ancient Spirit was formidable, but how formidable it would be, Xiao Qi had to test himself.

He congealed Spirit Power on his fingers. Although it was a tiny piece of Spirit Power, it would do harm to a beginner. So he wondered whether the little girl would take it or not.

Wuyou did not expect that Xiao Qi would give her a sneak attack. Before she could take any action, a streak of white light had enclosed the Spirit Power.

Seeing his Spirit Power was intercepted by the white light, Xiao Qi enhanced his power. When the Spirit Power dashed to Wuyou again, the white light dissolved into water drops and floated around Wuyou. Xiao Qi watched those small water drops swelling into big glittering beads, and almost engulfing his Spirit Power

Wuyou looked at the water drops swallow the Spirit Power. When seeing the ferocious Spirit Power was engulfed bite by bite, she had known that the Spirit Power inside her was extremely formidable. But she was still astouned by the Spirit Power she had.

Xiao Qi had expected that two Spirit Power probings were taken by the white light, but he still hesitated. He feared that one day the demon with Ancient Spirit would set herself against him. If so, what would he react to? If he would make good use of this soul, it could help him reach the peak of authority. But if it turned against him, what should he do at that time? How could he face it down when the demonic soul was full-fledged.

It seems a good thing, but turbulent uncertainties concealed . But there was no one useful at hand.

During these days, he was chased by his uncle and reduced to such a miserable condition. All he had was only this wisp of soul that would be of help to him. Although he had a weak foundation, as long as he could spend more time and energy on it and increase his ability to control the Ancient Spirit, it would be not long before this soul would show extraordinary talents in the soul battle.

Wuyou failed to figure it out through the whole night. She slept for a while at dawn and was awakened by some reckless people.

Wuyou got out of bed and picked a piece of clothes to wear. The servant girls helped her to comb hair. Wuyou was scared of combing most, because the two little girls were bad at combing.

Seeing Xiao Qi following the strangers heading to the backyard from afar, Wuyou knew that it was Xiao Qi’s residence. They walked with great tenseness and Xiao Qi seemed rather sullen, which seldom appeared in his face. What would make Xiao Qi so nervous? Wuyou sped up her pace. Nowadays, she had been in the same boat with Xiao Qi. If the boat sank, Wuyou would benefit nothing from it. She took pains to lean on a big tree and did not want this tree to fall down so easily. Although she had some Spirit Power, her foundation was not firm. She could not leave the physical body temporarily. Therefore, Xiao Qi was only good for her.

A group of people entered Xiao Qi’s living room. Wuyou turned over to the upper beam and disclosed the tile quietly. She noticed Xiao Qi sitting on the soft cushion in the living room and that his hands clenching the teacup shivered slightly somehow, and some tea flowed down through his fingers. Although Wuyou could not catch sight of Xiao Qi’s expression, she could see clearly the strangers’–each of them was sad and furious. It was obvious that they had a close relationship with Xiao Qi. So Wuyou guessed they were from the Fairy Kingdom, but could not tell why they came here. She just hoped nothing serious had happened. She’d like to stay here and had more time for her own cultivation.

While Wuyou was planning her future, a flash of Spirit Power trundled her down heavily.

“If you’ve seen enough, get down!”

Xiao Qi broke up the Spirit Power and did not look at her any more. But Wuyou knew that it was Xiao Qi’s warning to herself.

“Master, someone is eavesdropping. Let me kill her!”

The bearded brawny man came up and struck several palms in succession. Wuyou dodged them, but the Spirit Power was struggling in her palms. The Spirit Power had detected the brawny man, but was being controlled by Wuyou’s Divine Awareness. But a trail of Spirit Power split and catapulted the man several meters away. The man widened his eyes in disbelief. But Xiao Qi knew that this demon had held her hands.

“Since you are here, I will tell you explicitly. We’ll set out after a while. And you will go to the Fairy Kingdom with us. Now you go to pack up your things.”

Xiao Qi spoke so loudly that it made Wuyou suspect her ears. He was not refined and genial as Xiao Qi used to be.

“Why do I go with you? Qin Lengyue wants to stary here.”

“Okay! And I will tell the Wolf King and let him fix you.”

“The Wolf King has nothing to do with me.”

“Oh! The three realms have already known the battle in the Wind City. You have no way to go. I know you’re a fox from Teal Hill.”

“You know everything, but cannot guess that Wolf King was killed by Meiji Teal dragon. Even if he did not die, he had no strength to hurt me.

“I can give a life, but also let you die.”

“How can you kill me? I have something you want.”

“I have sealed your most important thing. Don’t you want to know?”

“If I can forget, it’s not important at all.”

“How crafty you are! How about making a deal?”

“I will not do the job to court death.”

“All right, I will not let you die, but you should accompany me back to the Fairy Kingdom.”

“Deal! After that, you and I will not have any connections in the future.”

Xiao Qi shot a glance at Wuyou. Although it was a poker face, it still made Wuyou feel chilly.

“Why do you leave in such a haste? This is not Mentor used to do.”

“I am from the Fariy Kingdom. And now the Kingdom is in chaos. What do you think I should do?”

“Mentor, the Fairy Kingdom is in chaos. And I can do nothing for it.”

Wuyou stared at Xiao Qi in make-believe astonishment. As a matter of fact, she had guessed some from Xiao Qi’s expressions, but she could not let Xiao Qi knew that she had entered the cave before.

“Mentor, I have some doubts and need Mentor to give me some directions.

“First, how do you know the Wolf King, and how do you know I am an Elder of Teal Hill?

“Second, what’s your intention to let me go to the Fairy Kingdom? I don’t have any great talent and just a wisp of soul sojourning in others.”

Xiao Qi had not expected that Wuyou would ask such questions. It was impossible to conceal any longer. What a canny demon! If he could not make them clear today, she would not trust him in the future. Now he needed the demon’s Spirit Power, so he should not stir up any trouble with the demon. She looked innocent but thoughtful inwardly.

“Does the Mentor have certain difficulty to voice out?”

“I happened to be there during the battle of Wind City. Since Demon Tribe and Fairy Tribe had no contracts before, I just watched it from a distance. But what moved me was that you came to protect others at the cost of your Spirit Power. At that time, I thought how loyal you were. You just disregard your own safety for others.”

“Mentor, the one I protected was Uncle Jiefie. If it was someone else, don’t you think I would?”

“I know you would not if it was someone else. How sly a fox is!”

“Mentor, are you one of Wolf King’s accomplice. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that you happened to encounter me and let the Wolf King fix me.”

“The reason why I saved you was for Lengyue. And now, you are Qin Lengyue. Even though you don’t like it, you have to stay in this physical body.”

“Is that so? If I am not willing to stay in?”

“Don’t you want to kill the Wolf King and rebuild Teal Hill?”

“Yes, I do. But if you take it as a chip, I don’t want it. I am not threatened, including you.”

“You really have a personality. You have been reduced to a wisp of soul now and still act recklessly and blindly.”

“Mentor, I have some useful value, don’t I? If so, Mentor should treat me better. Otherwise, if I am unhappy at that time, I will screw up your things.”

“Glib tongue! I will see whether you have a smooth tongue or a terrific ability.”

“It depends on what ability Mentor has to convince me cordially and defeat me.”

“You really talk big. But I advise you that since wind damages the flourishing trees in the forest, you’d better restrain your temper. The Fairy Kingdom is a place like a jungle. Don’t come to an end before you arrive there.”

“Don’t I have Mentor as my backing? With Mentor, I can live carefreely.”

“You’re making a sightseeing tour. But the Kingdom does not have such beautiful scenes.”

“Mentor has not answered my question. How do you know I am an Elder of Teal Hill?”

“Well, as for it, I will tell you later. And now, we should set off.”

Wuyou thought she was bound to be plotted by Xiao Qi this time, but trapped in such an inferior situation, how couldn’t she be humble? She let out a long sigh.
