Extra Chapter: Tale of the Past (Part 2)
====
"i-is this your dwelling?" asked Zhang i with surprise and so nervousness.
"What's wrong? It's a convenient place," Xu i replied nonchalantly.
After they introduced themselves to each other, Xu i decided to invite Zhang i to her cave to rest. Besides, another fact had co to light.
"By the way, I didn't think you were five years older than ," Xu i looked at her interlocutor with a strange expression on her face.
"Th-that's... I was also surprised," Zhang i replied with embarrassnt on her face, and then blushed with sha, rembering her presentation of today's breakfast and lunch: "I-I'm sorry for that sight... it must have been unpleasant."
"No, I had a similar reaction when I first killed a person, so it's normal," Xu i replied without a drop of contempt or emotion.
It was clear that she was not concerned about this topic. Xu i was still a little surprised that Zhang i was 28 years old, although she probably looked no older than eighteen.
Asking Zhang i to wait a little, Xu i plunged into ditation to finally achieve a breakthrough. The girl saw her actions and was very shocked.
"She decided to trust ? But what if I decide to attack?" thought Zhang i, and then sighed, shaking her head: "Of course, she doesn't worry. She killed peak cultivators at the Qi Condensation level without any problems, and here I am... a weakling without strength."
The girl sighed heavily, and her face was filled with dejection.
She was very proud of the fact that she had reached the Qi Condensation level at the age of 22, but then she t soone who had reached the sa level at the age of eighteen... it was nonsense!
Zhang i's world had undergone serious changes, and she was no longer as confident as before.
As a disciple of the current head of the Starry Stream Sect, she was very proud and talented, but after eting Xu i, she realized that there were other Heavens above the Heavens. The boundless cultivation world was too big for her, but being a frog in a well, Zhang i could only see the sky, not the expanses around her.
Nevertheless, she was very excited by how Xu i dealt with her enemies, and she admired her, wanting to beco just as strong.
***
Two hours had passed since Xu i began ditating, but Zhang i didn't even think of complaining. She followed the flow of Qi to gain an understanding of how to break through to the Core Formation level.
Only by reaching this level could one step into the light and begin the path to immortality. Therefore, this was a turning point for every cultivator.
Finally, a semi-transparent vortex of Qi appeared around Xu i, which was ford more because her body was working at 99% power to satisfy the necessary amount of spiritual energy to form the Golden Core.
Another five hours passed. The spectacle was not as cool and interesting as at Xu i's, but it was quite smooth and effective.
Zhang i watched everything from beginning to end and nodded satisfactorily. She was pleased with what she had gained today. This was not only an experience on the brink of death but also an experience of how to reach the next stage of a cultivator's life.
And so, after another half hour, Xu i finally opened her eyes. The first thing she said was...
"I want to drink sothing strong..."
***
"I-its... are you sure? I don't want to pressure you," said Zhang i nervously.
"Hm? It doesn't matter, let's drink. I don't care," Xu i replied indifferently.
In front of her were five bottles of strong alcohol, while Zhang i had a glass of spiritual wine, which could make even a cultivator swell up, so it was very popular.
Soon Xu i began to drink, downing one bottle after another, making Zhang i stare at her in amazent.
From Xu i's side, she looked like an independent, carefree, and sotis cold personality who could kill anyone without blinking an eye.
However, now she had turned into a complete drunkard in Zhang i's eyes, who couldn't decide whether to drink or not.
There was silence between them. These two were strangers to each other. Xu i had saved her only because she could get a big reward from the Starry Stream Sect.
After two hours, they both left the bar. This town was located not far from Xu i's dwelling and was also under the control of the Starry Stream Sect. Together with Xu i, Zhang i headed to the sect's branch to help Xu i get the reward.
Very soon, they reached this place, and at the gates, they were recognized.
"Oh! Young lady, please don't disappear so suddenly! We almost lost our heads for letting you go outside!" the guard, who was at the Core Formation level – the third stage, said, almost crying.
"Ugh..."
Zhang i smiled awkwardly and then turned to Xu i, saying:
"Please, follow . I will ask the Master to reward you."
"Yeah."
Xu i nodded indifferently and, together with Zhang i, entered the sect's branch. In the end, they reached a small room where the only furniture was a table and a chair. And at the table sat a beautiful woman.
"Master..."
Zhang i's voice was filled with nervousness and fear. And not without reason...
"ZHANG. I! FOOL!"
The voice of the head of the Starry Stream Sect, whom Zhang i called Master, was so deafening that it made her ears ring.
"So, this is what the head of the Starry Stream Sect, Bai Lin, looks like..." thought Xu i, looking at the woman.
She was a young-looking woman. She had long red hair and blue eyes that piercingly looked at Zhang i in anger.
"I-I'm sorry..."
Zhang i blushed with sha and lowered her head, clearly feeling her Master's anger. Bai Lin gritted her teeth and then slamd her hand on the table several tis.
"You are aware that it is extrely dangerous in the outside world! Stick your head out, and more than a hundred devilish bastards will want to cut off your neck! But you still insisted on leaving?!" Bai Lin roared angrily and finally sumd up all her discontent in one word: "Fool!!"
Bai Lin was angry and worried at the sa ti. She had returned no more than five minutes ago, and when she asked everyone about Zhang i's whereabouts, the answer was the sa – "We don't know."
Because of this, she beca even angrier. The incompetence of her subordinates made her disappointed, and she was about to start a large-scale search mission when Zhang i returned.
And now, even if she begs her, Bai Lin will never let her go outside again!
Five minutes passed, and Bai Lin began to calm down. She looked at Zhang i, who was trembling with fear, her eyes filled with tears, and felt a pang in her heart. She panicked.
"D-don't cry! I'm saying this for your good, okay? I didn't want to offend you..."
Bai Lin got up from her seat and, approaching Zhang i, hugged her and pressed her to herself. Her heart was filled with blood when she felt how fragile her disciple's body was and how strongly she was trembling.
Standing in the corner of the room, Xu i (she had left there because she didn't want to spoil the drama) fell silent. Her face showed nothing.
And then, as if the spotlights had fallen on her body, Bai Lin finally noticed the girl and frowned.
"And who are you? I don't rember you among the disciples of my sect."
At first glance, Bai Lin understood Xu i's cultivation level and, searching her mory, did not find any confirmation that she was a disciple of this sect.
"Because I'm not a disciple of this sect," Xu i replied indifferently and then said: "I need a reward. I saved her life, and it's not for free. Besides, she attracted devilish cultivators to my dwelling, interfering with my breakthrough, which almost cost my life."
"Em..."
Bai Lin took on a strange expression. Although she could understand the reason and even approve of such an approach from one side, she did not expect that Xu i would announce it so directly.
However, hearing that her disciple had interrupted the cultivation and breakthrough of another cultivator, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Among cultivators, there was a taboo that one should not interrupt those who cultivate and those who break through. Of course, not everyone adhered to this, but still...
Since Bai Lin valued her reputation and the reputation of her disciple, she nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll give you a reward of 150,000 Spiritual Stones."
"Excellent."
Only after that did Xu i smile and satisfactorily rub her hands. She even thought about provoking devilish cultivators to attack Zhang i again to save her and earn money again.
...in this behavior, she was very similar to Xie Qing.
When the girl received the reward, she left imdiately. Zhang i saw her off with a look full of admiration and gratitude.
"I want to beco like her," thought the girl.
***
The years went by. Xu i was 38 years old when she reached the level of Soul Nascent, once again breaking all records.
Her na beca a household na. She was compared with the well-known figure at that ti – the Empress of Swords.
And by coincidence, on the battlefield, filled with the bodies of cultivators, these two won t.
"What a coincidence. A genius, and also in the field of the Sword Path," said the Sword Empress with a smile.
Compared to the cold Xu i, the Sword Empress gave the impression of a calm, balanced, and friendly woman.
Suddenly, in response to her question, Xu i clicked her tongue and looked unhappily at the woman's chest.
"Why do you have such big breasts? Mine haven't grown in twenty years!"
"..."
The Sword Empress nad i Feng fell silent, and her smile threatened to disappear.
i Feng was indeed an outstanding woman. She had long, very long – down to her knees, bright silver hair, and eyes of the sa color. Her smile was tender and seductive, and she exuded a "mommy" aura, and her breasts... were large.
Moreover... her stomach! There were six, damn, squares! Her abs were a magnet for glances.
Very soon, these two began to fight. It was a duel to determine each other's level and in two minutes...
"Kha!"
Xu i lost.
