Chapter 424 Plum Blossom 9
Chapter 424 Plum Blossom 9
After getting the information she wanted, Bai Yaoyao gave the shopkeeper a shot of hidden energy into his body as a small punishment but a big warning, then left Zuixianlou with Hu Zi and She Wan.
"This is a serious matter. Let's find a place to discuss what to do first!"
Bai Yaoyao suggested, "There is a teahouse across the street. Let's go sit there."
Hu Zi saw Bai Yaoyao leading the way towards the teahouse with a hesitant look on his face. When he reached the entrance of the teahouse, he finally couldn't help but stop.
"Sister Wan, the Xuandan Sect is very powerful. I... I..."
She Wan smiled sadly, "Brother Huzi, I understand. Auntie is paralyzed in bed and the family depends on you to take care of her. Go back soon! Don't let Auntie worry about you!"
Hu Zi bit his lips, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at She Wan, his neck turned red with shame.
"I'm... I'm sorry!" Hu Zi apologized in a low voice, "Brother Lin taught me how to hunt. I should have gone with you to save him, but I was really worried about my mother!"
After saying that, Hu Zi knelt down with a bang, kowtowed three times to She Wan, then stood up and ran away quickly.
She Wan stared in the direction he left in a daze, and Bai Yaoyao sighed.
She has gotten to know the situation around here over the past few days.
This world is different from Hongmeng. There are many large and small sects in Hongmeng Continent, but most of them occupy sacred mountains and veins and have little contact with ordinary mortals.
However, on this Xuanji Continent, leaving aside the monsters and demons, the major immortal sects in the fairy world have their own fiefdoms, just like the royal relatives in ancient China.
The ownership and transfer of all property in the fiefdom, including that of mortals, are decided by the Immortal Sect.
From recruiting disciples with a predestined relationship with immortals to providing them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the immortal gate can only obtain everything from the area under its jurisdiction.
The Xuanling Mountains, including the Xuanling Town, are all the territory of the Xuandan Sect.
If it is true as the shopkeeper said, that the person who abducted She Lin was a disciple of Xuan Dan Sect, then their visit this time would certainly not be so smooth.
It's no wonder that Hu Zi would back down.
When Bai Yaoyao thought of this, her brows furrowed and her face became very solemn.
She Wan watched Hu Zi disappear in the crowd. She turned around and saw Bai Yaoyao's appearance. She felt a pang in her heart when she thought about Bai Yaoyao's suggestion to go to the teahouse to discuss the matter instead of choosing to go to Xuandanmen to save her brother first.
Bai Yaoyao came back to her senses and said, "Forget it, there's no need to go to any teahouse. Let's go out of the city and talk while we walk!"
Xu Wan followed Bai Yaoyao silently until they reached a deserted place. Then, Xu Wan suddenly knelt down in front of Bai Yaoyao.
"Wan'er, what are you doing?! Get up!"
Bai Yaoyao reached out to help her but She Wan dodged her hand.
She Wan held her head high and knelt there stubbornly.
"Sister Yaoyao, I know you are also an immortal, but you were saved by my brother only when you were in trouble. Immortals pay attention to cause and effect, so you helped my brother hunt and took out various elixirs to repay us, just to repay this life-saving grace. You don't owe us anything, but Wan'er has depended on my brother since she was a child, and I really can't watch him die!"
She Wan's eyes were filled with tears, but she forced herself to suppress them. She looked at Bai Yaoyao pleadingly, but a hint of determination flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Bai Yaoyao: "Wan'er, why are you saying this now?"
She Wan smiled sadly, "Sister Yaoyao, you don't know that Wan'er's father is not actually missing. He was originally a disciple of a large sect. He was injured while training outside and was rescued by mother. They fell in love with each other and stayed together in the mountains for a few years. Then my brother and I were born. But later, the sect urgently summoned him, so father had to abandon his wife and daughter and return to the sect."
Seeing that She Wan was determined not to get up, Bai Yaoyao did not force her. However, she did not know why she brought up her life experience at this time.
Seeing the puzzled look on Bai Yaoyao's face, She Wan laughed bitterly and ripped open her collar, revealing a plum blossom bud on her shoulder blade.
"Sister Yaoyao is also an immortal, so she must have heard of the Nine Plum Blossoms!"
Bai Yaoyao's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, I've never heard of it.
However, this Plum Blossom Nine-Null Physique is probably well-known in the Xuanji Continent's immortal cultivation world, so without waiting for Bai Yaoyao to respond, She Wan went straight to the point.
"As everyone knows, any woman born with the Nine Plum Blossoms is a natural immortal cauldron, and Wan'er is one of them!"
She Wan gently stroked the plum blossom mark on her collarbone and bit her lips, as if she was unwilling to give up. "Brother doesn't have spiritual roots, but Wan'er does. But Daddy said that instead of letting Wan'er succeed in cultivation but end up being a cauldron, causing bloodshed and being unable to control her own life, it is better to let Wan'er be a mortal for the rest of her life and live a stable life."
Bai Yaoyao frowned slightly and looked closely at the bright red plum blossom under her fingers. She had never heard of the Nine Moves of Plum Blossom, but she had heard of the furnace and cauldron in the world of immortal cultivation.
Some cultivators, because of their own aptitude or because they are eager to make a breakthrough, would seek out women to practice dual cultivation with.
Something similar to dual cultivation but extremely vicious to women is the furnace cauldron.
Those who become cauldrons will all waste their cultivation, their looks will wither and they will die early.
I didn't expect that such a lively girl like Wan'er would have such a physique.
Bai Yaoyao's face was gloomy, "This should be your secret. Wan'er, what do you want to do by telling me this now?!"
She Wan raised her head slightly, revealing her slender neck, and looked up at Bai Yaoyao with tears in her eyes, "Wan'er wants to make a deal with you, sister Yaoyao! In exchange for my body, sister Yaoyao, please help save my brother!"
Bai Yaoyao couldn't bear it any longer after hearing this. She picked up She Wan from the ground regardless of her struggle and scolded her.
"I never said I wouldn't save She Lin! I need you to expose your secrets and even sacrifice your body in exchange!"
Bai Yaoyao said unhappily, "Besides! You and I are both women, can I really use you as a furnace?"
When She Wan heard Bai Yaoyao say that she was not unintentional in saving people, her eyes suddenly lit up. However, when Bai Yaoyao mentioned the furnace, a strange look appeared on her face, and she stammered:
"Sister Yaoyao, don't you know that the special thing about Plum Blossom Nine's physique is that it can not only plunder cultivation through the affairs of men and women, but also women... can also plunder!"
Bai Yaoyao was frowning. She rudely closed She Wan's half-open clothes and pulled her out of the city.
"I don't need any furnace or cauldron! I will find a way to save them, just go back and stay here!"
Bai Yaoyao planned to send She Wan back home, and then go to the gate of Xuandan Sect to investigate the situation before making any plans.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two walked out of the town gate, they saw the waiter from Zuixianlou waiting anxiously at the city gate.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them.
"Two fairies, I'm glad I've been waiting for you here..."
"Wait for us?" Bai Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly, "What are you waiting for us to do?"
