Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World Chapter 139: Yang Wei's Promise to Bai Suzhen. Meeting Mu Li

Bai Suzhen was already asleep in the hot springs, feeling a bit weak from the alcohol and the intense dual cultivation session with Yang Wei. As he slipped back into his white robes, Bai Suzhen forced her eyes open slowly.

"Yang Wei...?"

Yang Wei, still adjusting his robes, turned back to her. "Hm?"

She asked, "Where are you going? Don't you want to..." she paused, her cheeks flushed red as she looked to the side, "wait a while?"

Yang Wei turned away, continuing to walk.

"I have a few things I need to do before tomorrow, so I should leave now. Quite frankly, I'm disgusted with both you and myself."

Adjusting herself in the hot springs, Bai Suzhen asked, "Wait, but why? What did I do wrong?"

Yang Wei stopped and turned back to her, his usual calm expression replaced with plain seriousness.

"This... everything. One principle I have is to never devalue any woman I consider myself close to. I make sure never to take advantage of a woman who might seem too easy or one who simply wants professional intimacy. And yet, you made do that today..."

Bai Suzhen's face twisted with anger.

"What?! How is it my fault that you slept with ? Didn't you enjoy it? Or was my body not good eno--"

Yang Wei cut her off. "Shut up and let talk."

She imdiately fell silent.

He continued, "The main reason you wanted to sleep with was because you know the possibility of the Dragon Blossom and White Serpent Sects coming back together is very slim. You may be put at a disadvantage when word of your identity gets out. You used as a way to dilute your worries, because you know the only person who can truly protect you... is ."

Bai Suzhen was surprised, her soaked body shivering as if she were in the arctic.

H... How did he... know?

With a sigh, Yang Wei assured her, "But you don't have to worry. I'll make this promise to you today. I will make sure your virginity does not go to waste. Not only will I protect you from whatever bad decisions the matriarchs might make, but I'll also restore the Celestial Serpent Sect, even if I have to shed blood for you."

Bai Suzhen remained silent as she heard his footsteps walking away, the sound of crunching grass fading into the distance.

She placed her hand on her chest, biting her lower lip as she tried to hold back her words.

Then, she abruptly shouted at Yang Wei, "Why?! Why are you doing all this and saying all this now?!"

Yang Wei smiled warmly at her and walked back to where she was subrged in the hot springs water.

Crouching down beside her, he gazed into her eyes.

The steam made it a bit hard to see his face clearly, but the genuine smile on his lips was enough to make her smile too.

"I'm doing this because you gave sothing precious—your virginity. And no matter what, I'll cherish that."

He gently tapped his fingers against her forehead.

"The mont I accepted to sleep with you, you ultimately beca my responsibility. So, don't you dare worry about sothing bad happening to you, because I'll never let it happen."

Standing up and locking his hands behind his back, Yang Wei began to walk away.

Bai Suzhen mumbled, "Uh, Yang Wei..."

He stopped and turned back. "Yes?"

Bai Suzhen sank deeper into the water until only half of her head was showing. She mumbled through the bubbling water, "Thank you for your help."

Yang Wei simply smiled and continued walking away.

anwhile, in a more vegetative part of the dicinal Steam Forest, Sun Yurong rested against a tree, listening intently to every word spoken.

Nodding to herself, she smiled.

"It seems my daughter is in the right hands. If only he'd co a little earlier, she wouldn't have been exposed to this world's cruelty... and maybe I myself, wouldn't have suffered so much."

She chuckled softly and shook her head. Condensing a sword from her blood Qi, she stepped atop its blade and flew into the skies.

...

It was a fresh new day.

Yang Wei was in Tiancheng City.

Walking down the road, he fanned himself lazily, feeling sowhat tired and not really in the mood for attention from those who recognized him as the Dragon Blossom Sect's Star Disciple.

Despite their greetings, he waved them off, not really in the mood for small talk.

Hmm, it's been a while since I've had so alone ti like this. I was supposed to go out with Liu Yan today, well, not exactly a date, but she agreed she'd help find a good alchemist who'd buy my monster materials for a fair price. But, she said she had to report back to the Dragon Blossom Sect since it's her day off. Honestly, it feels like work cos before everything else for her...

Letting out a heavy yawn, Yang Wei glanced around, noticing the small marketplaces selling fruits and linens for won. "Maybe after getting a fair price for these monster materials, I'll head back to see how everyone in the sect is doing," he mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, he spotted Mu Lingxi from afar.

Despite the bustling crowd, they locked eyes.

"Oh, Lingxi?"

Yang Wei created a gust of wind under his feet and ran over the crowd to reach her.

Once he landed in front of her, he greeted her warmly. "Good morning! How're you doing? It's been a while since we've seen each other you know..."

Mu Lingxi's cheeks flushed as she looked away, trying to hide her embarrassnt. "Oh, Brother Wei, h-hello, I suppose it has been a while indeed..."

Noticing her discomfort, Yang Wei edged closer to her, almost touching her cheeks with his nose. "Hey, are you okay?"

Mu Lingxi shifted nervously, her blush deepening. "Y-yeah, I'm completely fine..."

Yang Wei remained calm, expressing genuine concern. "Are you sure you're not sick? You certainly look it." He placed a hand behind her neck and brought her forehead close to his, checking her temperature. "Hmm, you don't feel feverish, but do cultivators of your level even get sick?"

While Yang Wei talked, Mu Lingxi gazed up at him with her big brown eyes. She observed him with his eyes closed as he tried to figure out if her current flustered state was so kind of sickness. Naturally, she couldn't help but be chard by his smile and genuine concern.

Sotis, I forget he can be so fun with his ways...

Suddenly, a sword ca down towards Yang Wei's neck, but he quickly dodged back, narrowly avoiding the slash. Placing a hand on his neck, he shot a glare at the person who had just tried to behead him. It turned out to be a young man dressed in black and ash, with slightly pale skin, red eyes, and a short ponytail.

Yang Wei exclaid, "Are you out of your mind? You could've killed !"

Well no, his intent was lacking a bit, but still...

The young man calmly sheathed his sword and replied, "You were getting too close to Mistress Lingxi. I had to intervene."

Yang Wei, folding his fan, scrunched up his face in annoyance and demanded, "And who exactly are you? Give your na before I decapitate you."

The young man retorted, "When you ask for soone's na, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? Mannerless slob."

Yang Wei erupted, "You dare call mannerless?!"

With that, the two charged at each other, swords drawn. In a blink of an eye, Yang Wei condensed a radiant blue dragon sword, clashing blades with the young man. They stared fiercely at each other, ready for the next strike.

Just as Yang Wei prepared to attack again, Mu Lingxi's voice rang out, "That's enough!"

Yang Wei paused, turning towards Mu Lingxi, and protested, "But I need to teach this 'mannerless slob' a lesson." He made sure to emphasize on the young man's insult and throw it back to his face.

"H-He's actually my bodyguard."

Yang Wei's expression turned blank, "Eh?"
