Chapter 92: His Heart Moved For Her
Lou Mu Yan ignored Ming Xius 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. Itll dissipate automatically after an hour. Ming Xiu stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lou Mu Yan.
Mo Yan on Lou Mu Yans 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 Jiaos 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, lets 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 pond 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 wouldnt be able to slay it, let alone obtain the Deep Orchid, thats why she wanted to cooperate with Ming Xiu.
Ming Xius 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. Lets work together. You kill the Scarlet-Frost Jiao, Ill use its Crystal Core to refine a pill for you, and I can guarantee that its 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 didnt hide it and nodded: The Deep Orchid is very important to me. To be more precise, its the pill thats made with the Deep Orchid as one of its main ingredients thats very important to me.
What kind of pill? Ming Xiu was a little curious about which Grade this womans Alchemy skills were at.
Foundation Establishment Pill. You wouldnt 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. Its effect is similar to the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but its a more advanced pill. Its effective even for people with Sword Monarch strength and above.
The effect is similar to that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Theres 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 womans 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 Tianling Continent had Spiritual Roots. So they couldnt 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. Youre now at the strength of a Sword Sovereign. Although it wont 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, youre the one thats at the advantage in this trade. Just say yes or no.
Youve 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 didnt know what other skills this woman had. She was like a bookwith 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 couldnt evade them, actually leaned down to kiss that young girl.
Then hearing the conversation that the two didnt avoid speaking in front him, the shock in his heart couldnt 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 Masters 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 Masters attention. Otherwise with Masters temperament, he wouldnt approach others on purpose simply to win them over.
He sighed. It seemed that this time, Mo Lan was over. If Masters heart truly moved for this woman, then he naturally wouldnt 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 theres 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 dont allow anyone in. Ming Xiu said lukewarmly.
Yes, Master! The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
Ming Xiu naturally took Lou Mu Yans 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 didnt shake it off, and let him pull her forward.
Ming Xius 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 couldnt 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 pond in the distance.
A touch of surprise flashed past Ming Xius eyes. With this little womans cultivation base as a Sword Spirit, she could actually discover the energy fluctuations in the depths of that cold pond. 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 Xius 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 Xius 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 didnt 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 wasnt 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 youll be This Highnesss woman in the future, so dont 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 Yans previous world. (Like how here, theyre called Sword Masters). Theyre 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. Ill 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 its the only word that really fits (aside from Madame but hmmm). In Chinese, the word is which translates literally to main mother and just means master with the being an affix at the end with no real meaning. Anyways, Ill stick with Mistress for this story which means main (and only) wife!
Note: XD, MX being so possessive already. Obvs if our fl doesnt like it, she wouldnt let it happen either. Hehehe. And same, Mo Gui, same, rather shocking indeed. And ahhh, yay holding hands~~~
