Chapter 572: A Female Companion (II)
Chen Wentians face tensed as if he had suddenly encountered a dangerous situation. His mouth opened instinctively but he forcefully closed it. He definitely wasnt going to answer such a question. He was an intensely private person. Even with his disciples, he would only talk about the intimate moments he had shared with that specific person and not any of the others.
Shi Shi studied his face while sipping her wine. She could already guess some things with great certainty. She didnt need him to say anything. It was partly due to her intuition as a woman. It was also because there was no other possibility. Even if he was a monk or a eunuch, he wouldnt be able to resist the allure of so many beautiful disciples, especially the likes of Wu Qianyu and Long Yifei.
She snorted, It doesnt matter. Forget I asked. I was just curious how much experience you had with women.
He frowned slightly and asked, What about you then? Im sure the Legendary Fighter League has plenty of handsome young men that suit your tastes.
She laughed and shook her head, I am not a hypocrite. I have not had relations with any of my disciples. Unlike you, I have standards.
Standards? Thats a bit harsh. Theres nothing wrong with my disciples! He shot back.
She didnt immediately respond. She opened another bottle and drank for a bit before saying, Actually, that was a little unfair. I apologize. The truth is that I used to have a Dao companion
She trailed off. She suddenly glanced away and covered her mouth with her palm. It only lasted a moment and she recovered with a wry smile.
He was surprised. A Dao companion was equivalent to marriage, only slightly less formal. It meant two people who were willing to walk the cultivation path together. They would help each other through difficulties and even die for each other. It was clear that this person meant a lot to her. The fact that she brought it up of her accord meant that she probably wanted to talk about it, perhaps she had wanted to for a very long time. Was the reason she had sought him out tonight?
What happened to him? He asked.
Shi Shis eyes clouded over as she slowly reminisced. Chen Wentian became an obedient listener. For one reason or another, she felt that he was the only person she could tell these things to. They had just experienced a life-or-death situation together. It reminded her of the beautiful days of the past.
Her life as a mortal cultivator was one of fellowship and love. As a lowly disciple of the Legendary Fighter League, she was part of a tight-knit group of four. It was two men and two women. Naturally, they paired off and romance blossomed. Two pairs of Dao companions, they were an inseparable group. They traveled lands, completed missions, and fought evil in all forms.
It seemed like a perfect life but obviously, it didnt last forever. Shi Shi emptied bottle after bottle as she continued her tale.
The years passed by and the four of them became experts at the peak of the Spirit Initiate Realm. Their statuses within the sect were very high and they were known throughout the land as the Four Fighter Champions. Their fame had reached an apex. They were similar to Lonely Hero Peng Xiling and Wu Qianyu of the current era.
But soon after, everything fell apart. The sect became embroiled in a vicious war with factions from the neighboring subcontinent. The Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent and the Western Wumu Subcontinent were mostly separated by the mysterious Gulf of Giant Turtles. However, the land that the Legendary Fighter League occupied happened to be the only land border.
Since the sects territory was rich in spiritual energy and resources, it attracted envious eyes from across the sea. Small and big conflicts broke out and lasted many years. The Immortal Association paid no attention because each subcontinent was independent and they competed with each other. As long as the various Spirit Kings didnt get involved to cause unnecessary destruction, they turned a blind eye to the competition between Spirit Lords.
At this point, Shi Shi let out a shuddering sigh and slumped on the table. She became muddled and her words became soft mumbles. It was difficult to imagine that she was drunk but she had downed over twenty bottles already.
Chen Wentian understood her mood. It wasnt difficult to imagine. Humans were capable of just as much evil as demons.
You lost your Dao companion during the war. He said softly.
She didnt refute it.
Your other brother and sister. Did they die as well? He asked.
She buried her head in her arms and mumbled, Yeah my master also the previous sect master So many people died so needlessly. It was so ridiculous. We used to kill each other on sight. No other reason was needed. Both sides had such orders. Everything gradually escalated. Countless mortal sects and branch sects were wiped out. It only stopped when one of the immortal sects on their side was completely destroyed. It was only then that the Spirit Kings stepped in and forced everyone to stop fighting.
An immortal sect? You guys actually destroyed an immortal sect? He asked in shock.
She looked up at him and laughed with an air of self-mockery, We did. We paid an unbearably heavy price but those bastards, they paid for it twice over!
She reached over for the last bottle of wine but accidentally knocked it over. She let out a disappointed sound and slumped over to one side. She had become slightly disheveled. Her robes were in disarray and accidentally showed far more of her cleavage than before. At that moment, she was surrounded by a warm, hazy aura that made her even more attractive.
Chen Wentian scratched his head, unsure of what to do now. It seemed that she had said everything she had wanted to. He wasnt sure if he should just let her stay in that chair and sleep it off. He could handle his disciples but he had no idea what to do with an immortal lady.
Suddenly, Shi Shi slapped the table and jumped up. She stormed up to a surprised Chen Wentian a prodded his chest with a finger.
Cant you take a hint? Dont you sleep with your disciples? Why are you acting like a timid virgin? She asked aggressively. Am I not pretty enough for you? Or do you prefer younger women?
What what?
He had a faint idea of what was happening but he was too shocked to react properly. He took steps backward continuously, trying in vain to avoid her. In a few moments, they somehow ended at the foot of the large bed.
Shi Shi smirked, I forgot to tell you. The first time I slept with my Dao companion, it was after he had risked his life to save me from certain death. So, let me be your companion tonight.
Then, she pushed him onto the bed and started undoing her clothes.
