I am, after all, a little fairy. You mustn't act recklessly!
The sensation of being struck by the Soul Whip was unbearable, especially for the White Jade Fairy, who was currently in a state of extreme weakness. After just three strikes, she rolled in pain and began to plead for mercy.
"What’s wrong with you?" Chen Anlin smiled, but to the White Jade Fairy, that smile appeared as terrifying as a demon's.
"Do you have something to say?"
"Alright, eat this."
Chen Anlin flicked his finger, and a drop of blood landed in front of the White Jade Fairy.
She froze. Although the blood from the Taiping Sect was indeed cruel and vicious, it was also an excellent remedy for replenishing soul power. However, for living beings, it had certain side effects; it contained corpse poison that could cause long-term users to suffer from rotting bodies, pale skin, lifeless faces, hair loss, and inexplicable irritability.
Yet for someone like her, who existed solely as a soul entity, the blood had no adverse effects—only pure nourishment for her soul power.
The White Jade Fairy's eyes lit up as she eagerly picked up the medicine from the ground. Being a soul entity, she didn’t swallow it directly; instead, she refined the blood and absorbed its medicinal properties. As she did so, her soul power began to recover little by little from the recent strikes.
"Now you know what choice to make, right?" Chen Anlin held the Soul Whip and looked down at her.
In that moment, the usually proud White Jade Fairy felt deflated! She understood clearly that Chen Anlin had given her the blood not out of kindness but out of fear that he might shatter her soul completely.
"I... I promise you. But can you give me some time? You know I’m a little fairy after all; such a noble existence deserves some respect!"
The White Jade Fairy lowered her head, her eyes flickering as she tried to buy time.
"Heh, you still want to stall? How arrogant."
Chen Anlin raised the Soul Whip and suddenly remembered something. He slowly lowered it until it brushed against her dress.
He began to lift her skirt slightly. "Since you won’t choose me, I have no choice but to—heh heh heh!"
"I... I promise! Just don’t act recklessly!" The corner of the White Jade Fairy's mouth twitched.
The Soul Whip could truly make contact with her body; if he really acted recklessly, it would be self-inflicted suffering.
"If you had done this earlier and submitted properly, why would it have to be so rough?"
Chen Anlin tucked the Soul Whip at his waist and lunged forward.
Though she had no physical form, they could still merge their soul powers—that was what soul communion was about. After experiencing joy together through this connection, not only Chen Anlin but even the White Jade Fairy could gain benefits from it. However, Chen Anlin blocked those benefits from reaching her; he simply wouldn’t allow it.
After all, the White Jade Fairy was only temporarily submissive; no one knew how she would react once her soul power increased. After finishing his business, Chen Anlin left the place, disregarding the still sobbing White Jade Fairy.
Meanwhile, in the Li family residence where Li Que was staying, he received shocking news early in the morning. Last night, Chen Anlin single-handedly took down a stronghold of the Taiping Sect and killed the enforcer Sun Dapiao!
Sun Dapiao was no ordinary person; Li Que had encountered him before. This man was powerful and carried various deadly poisons, managing to escape after killing many. It was surprising that Chen Anlin had managed to eliminate Sun Dapiao so easily. Damn it, Sun Dapiao was utterly useless.
Li Que scoffed at this thought but then suddenly remembered something and got up to head to a separate courtyard. This courtyard was exquisitely elegant, specifically designated for the most esteemed guests of the Li family.
Ever since a map to a secret location was discovered from someone in the Taiping Sect, many had come seeking it. Currently residing there was none other than the pride of Wanjian Mountain Villa, Li Xuexin. The Li family had been supported by Wanjian Mountain Villa, and having her here facilitated business operations and intelligence gathering.
Li Xuexin had brought some people along with her, and soon, Li Que would lead them into the mountains to search for treasures.
Knock, knock, knock!
Li Que tapped on the door, intending to inform Li Xuexin about Chen Anlin's arrival. He hoped this would bring him closer to her. Ever since she moved in, he had been captivated by her beauty from the very first glance. He had never imagined such a stunning woman could exist in this world.
Unfortunately, despite his attempts to impress her with his bravado, Li Xuexin had never even glanced his way, leaving him feeling quite frustrated. He knew he had mastered the art of showing off; many girls liked boys who could flaunt themselves. So why did Li Xuexin ignore him?
After pondering for a while, he concluded that it must be because he hadn't interacted with her enough. Once she saw just how impressive he could be, she would surely be astonished.
Knock, knock, knock!
He knocked again and called out, "Miss Li?"
No response came.
Li Que frowned; when he arrived, he had asked the servants about her and learned that she had been inside her room without stepping out. Why wasn’t she responding? Was she resting?
"Miss Li! Miss Li! It's me, Li Que!"
Still no response.
Miss Li, a person named Chen Anlin has arrived in the capital, and he is also preparing to head to that secret location, Li Que explained directly.
This time, a crisp female voice came from inside the room: "Chen Anlin?? How did he come here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open by a powerful aura, revealing Li Xuexin in white robes with her hands clasped behind her back.
A strong sword intent surrounded her, and her figure stood straight like a precious sword about to be unsheathed, sharp and formidable.
Li Que was taken aback. Although he had seen Li Xuexin's stunning beauty before, he couldn't help but marvel at her once again; she was simply too beautiful.
"I asked you a question." Li Xuexin said with displeasure.
Li Que realized that Li Xuexin didn't think much of him, mainly because he liked to show off in front of her and had a tendency to act pretentious. So when she had ignored his knocking earlier, it was no surprise. However, she was very interested in the matter of Chen Anlin.
Firstly, Chen Anlin was someone under the Empress; it was said that he was not an ordinary person. Would he come here to seize treasures?
Secondly, it was rumored that Chen Anlin's swordsmanship was exceptional and that he had already cultivated sword intent. As a fellow sword cultivator, she wanted to see his true strength.
Seeing Li Xuexin's displeasure, Li Que quickly responded, "Chen Anlin came over as if to investigate a case. He also learned about that secret location and intends to go there."
He deliberately concealed the fact that he was the one who informed Chen Anlin about the secret place.
"He is also going? How many people did he bring?"
"Just three, all of them women."
"Hehe," Li Xuexin laughed. "Only three? Then there's nothing to worry about."
"Indeed so, Miss Li. You can rest assured. That guy Chen Anlin is not anything special. If he poses any threat to you, I, Li Que, will be the first to object!" Li Que declared passionately.
"Do you know that Chen Anlin is favored by the Empress and holds considerable power? Do you have the guts for that?"
"I'm not afraid of such people."
Li Xuexin then looked at Li Que seriously; she hadn't expected him to be quite brave.
【Ding! Pretentiousness achieved, pretentiousness value gained.】
Hearing this pleasant sound, Li Que felt excited. After knowing Li Xuexin for so long, he finally managed to show off in front of her.
"My Wan Jian Mountain Villa has always been at odds with the court. If I can eliminate that dog of an Empress on this trip, my father will surely be pleased."
Li Xuexin nodded with a smile: "By the way, what’s your name?"
Li Que realized with surprise that after knowing each other for so long, she didn’t even know his name.
"Miss Li, my name is Li Que; I am from the Li family—"
Before he could finish his self-introduction, Li Xuexin interrupted him: "So how do you plan to deal with Chen Anlin?"
Li Que grinned and replied confidently: "To be honest, I have already gained Chen Anlin's trust. When the time comes, I will follow him closely and take action when he's unprepared."
"Oh? Then I'll be looking forward to your performance."
Three days later...
Chen Anlin arrived at the edge of a dense forest with three young women accompanying him. Li Que and a group of young noblemen were already waiting there.
"Listen up, everyone! This time, I, Li Que, will protect Young Master Chen Anlin. You all better behave. If you upset Young Master Chen, I, Li Que, will be the first to stand against you!" Li Que shouted deliberately as he saw Chen Anlin approaching. He intended to show off in front of everyone, making it clear that he had the backing of Chen Anlin.
However, just after he finished speaking, Chen Anlin arrived and casually unleashed a burst of energy towards his face.
Smack!!
"Ah!" Li Que let out a miserable scream as he was sent flying.
"Young Master Chen, why did you hit me?" Li Que groaned as he got up, covering his face with a grim expression. He had been trying to impress Chen Anlin but ended up being interrupted in his attempt.
Chen Anlin's eyes were cold and indifferent as he replied nonchalantly, "I don't like it when others use my name for their own purposes. If you dare to do this again, I won’t let you off lightly!"
【Ding! Interrupted Li Que's show-off attempt, gaining luck points.】
Li Que felt a surge of anger inside him. That damn Chen Anlin had interrupted his moment again! Just wait and see; this grudge would not go unpunished! But for now, he chose to endure.
In the crowd, Li Xuexin frowned. Wasn't Li Que supposed to have gained Chen Anlin's trust? How could he get slapped right after arriving? And judging by his demeanor, he seemed quite cowardly now.
However, the girl with the ponytail next to Li Que was not simple at all.
Li Xuexin focused her gaze on Ling'er. Ling'er appeared delicate and fragile, looking like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Yet with her keen sense of sword energy, she could tell that Ling'er was extraordinary and unlike anyone else.
On the other hand, Chen Anlin was said to possess immense sword intent and the demeanor of a sword god. But after observing him for a while, she found that Chen Anlin's aura was plain and unremarkable; there seemed to be nothing special about him at all.
Could it be that he was merely a pretty face? Was the so-called sword god persona just a rumor?
