Chapter 667: Blessed with Romance

Who Told Him to Cultivate Immortality! Chapter 667: No Shortage of Romantic Fortunes

"To think this barbecue shop was actually opened by the Nine Nether Sect, this poor monk shall now subdue this ghost, and I ask the two senior brothers to lend me a hand!"

Shi Zhan made a motion to reveal himself, but was held back by Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"Don't, don't, don't, they're all one of us, there's no need to fight."

"One of us?"

Shi Zhan's eyes were filled with incomprehension; who was one of us with whom?

As for Shi Zhan's character, the two of them trusted him, so they decided to disclose some of the internal secrets of the Seeking Dao Sect.

"Actually, it's like this, the Heavenly Court Sect was established by us..."

The two of them patiently explained how they had fabricated the Heavenly Court Sect out of thin air, and how they had deceived the Nine Nether Sect.

Shi Zhan fell into a long silence after listening, remaining speechless for a very long time.

No wonder his master often said during his lifetime that the disciples of the Seeking Dao Sect were full of deceit and that one should be cautious when interacting with them.

He hadn't taken it seriously back then, but now he knew his master was right.

The Ancient Heavenly Court that had been rumored so widely was actually fabricated by Senior Brother Lu Yang.

If this were to spread, it would surely cause an absolute uproar.

"Thank you both for your trust, Senior Brothers."

Since Xiao Cui was the Chief of the Spring River Branch of the Nine Nether Sect and counted as half of one of their own, making it inconvenient to make a move, the three of them had no choice but to return to Xu An's room, reverting back to their pretense of being asleep to avoid any accidents.

Not long after the three of them struck their poses, another graceful silhouette burst into the room, letting out a sigh of relief upon seeing the three men slumped in unconsciousness.

It was none other than the maidservant, Xiao Zhu.

"As expected of Sister Xiao Cui, the effect of this stupefying incense is indeed excellent."

"A pity, although my cultivation is on par with Sister Xiao Cui, Sister Xiao Cui is a Branch Chief of the Nine Nether Sect, so I can't compete with her on human territory."

"But it's not a big problem, she can only suck the yang energy and cannot truly engage in bedroom affairs with Benefactor, only getting to enjoy it a bit in dreams, which is not as comfortable as me."

"Originally I was preparing for tomorrow night, but since Benefactor has consumed the glossy ganoderma and his yang energy is at its peak, there's no harm in letting me enjoy myself a bit."

As Xiao Zhu spoke, she unfastened her clothes and loosened her belt, revealing a furry white fox tail and ears, pressing herself against Xu An.

Lu Yang and the other two: "..."

"What do we do, should we step forward to stop it?"

"I see that Xu An didn't eat that ganoderma during the day in vain, his yang energy is still quite abundant."

"She doesn't seem to have any malice either."

After a bout of clouds and rain, Xiao Zhu left with complete satisfaction.

Just as the three of them were preparing to get up, they heard the room door being pushed open once more, and a third graceful silhouette walked into the room, looking timid and shy.

It was the maidservant, Xiao Qiu.

Like Xiao Cui, Xiao Qiu confirmed the potency of the stupefying incense, and seeing Lu Yang and the other two still fast asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She lay upon Xu An's body, clumsily sucking his yang energy, murmuring into Xu An's ear.

"Master, Xiao Qiu likes you."

The three of them communicated secretly using their divine senses.

"I can tell this is an artifact spirit, can either of you see through her true form?"

"This poor monk's eyesight is limited, I cannot tell."

"It's a jade pendant, forged by a Nascent Soul stage master blacksmith, and it's a magic treasure capable of evolving." Although Lu Yang's eyesight was on par with Meng Jingzhou's, he had the assistance of an Immortal.

"I remember Xu An saying his parents were just ordinary Qi Condensation stage cultivators, a magic treasure with an artifact spirit doesn't seem like something a Qi Condensation stage cultivator could obtain."

Magic treasures with artifact spirits were a rare sight; Lu Yang had seen the most top-tier artifact spirit treasures, where the soul of a Tribulation Transmutation stage cultivator was refined into the magic treasure.

Xiao Qiu's background wasn't quite that exaggerated, yet it was still not something a Qi Condensation stage cultivator could obtain.

"Perhaps it was something his parents chanced upon from somewhere, like a bargain they found at the black market we visited, and after buying it they didn't know what kind of treasure it was, so they left it to Xu An as an inheritance. Because Xu An wore it for a long time, the jade pendant instinctively sucked Xu An's yang energy or essence or something, and then it was activated."

This also explained why Xiao Qiu's attitude toward Xu An was so intimate.

Just as Xiao Qiu was intoxicated by sucking Xu An's yang energy, two graceful silhouettes returned after leaving.

It was Xiao Cui and Xiao Zhu, who thought that since today's opportunity was rare, they might as well enjoy themselves once more, and happened to bump into each other at the door.

"Xiao Qiu, why are you here, are you a cultivator?"

Xiao Qiu instantly lost her composure in panic.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Zhu were very surprised; the two of them knew about each other's situations, but they didn't know that Xiao Qiu wasn't human either.

"No, you're an artifact spirit, could it be that you are that jade pendant Benefactor lost?"

They recalled Benefactor saying that his parents had left him a jade pendant, and to express his feelings of longing, he had placed his emotions upon the object, wearing the jade pendant day and night.

But one day, for some unknown reason, the jade pendant had mysteriously gone missing, and no matter how he searched he couldn't find it, causing him great regret.

So the jade pendant was here.

They hadn't known before, but now that Xiao Qiu was sucking yang energy, her true form was completely exposed.

Xiao Qiu nodded awkwardly, acknowledging the two sisters' guess, and pulled away from Xu An.

Xiao Cui gritted her teeth: "I was wondering, I always minded my boundaries when sucking Benefactor's yang energy, so how could Benefactor still be so weak? It turns out there was you too!"

She had been worried that Benefactor's body wouldn't recover, so she only sneaked over once every four days.

The three of them refused to yield to one another, all wanting to continue with Xu An, and as the three auras clashed, Xu An let out an unconscious groan, scaring the three of them so much they didn't dare to continue.

The three maidservants had no choice but to leave resentfully, giving up on continuing their bedroom affairs.

Just as they walked out of the room door, they saw Liu Xiangyu standing in the courtyard, her face beautiful but her teeth gritted.

"You, you all turn out to be non-humans!"

Liu Xiangyu said with deep resentment, her silver teeth clenched tightly.

These past days, seeing her husband grow haggard, she had thought it was because she herself had used too much force, causing an imbalance in yin and yang and draining her husband dry.

That was why she had reduced their bedroom activities.

As for her husband saying there was a ghost, she had appeared frightened on the surface, but in her heart she was completely untroubled, knowing it was impossible.

She was a dignified Nascent Soul stage snake demon, how could there possibly be a ghost sucking her husband's yang energy right under her nose.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that there actually was!

Xiao Cui was actually a Nascent Soul stage ghost!

Xiao Zhu was a Nascent Soul stage fox demon!

Xiao Qiu was a magic treasure artifact spirit!

If it hadn't been for the clash of their three auras just now, she really wouldn't have discovered it.

She had always believed her husband's weakness was her own problem, and just a few days ago she happened to come across a mysterious person selling aphrodisiac blood in the black market, so she bought a drop and diluted it in the glossy ganoderma soup, preparing to enjoy herself tonight.

As for Lu Yang and his two companions, it mattered little; simple stupefaction would suffice.

Who could have foreseen that before she even crossed the threshold, she would sense the three handmaidens clashing within her husband's chambers?

To think the pure yang blood I purchased at such an exorbitant price was meant for the three of you!

The three handmaidens had long since discerned Liu Xiangyu's true form; after all, Liu Xiangyu's attention had been entirely consumed by concealing her identity from Xu An, never anticipating that the trio had been covertly watching her, her vigilance severely lacking.

"M—Mistress, let me explain," Xiao Qiu, the most timid among them, stammered in an attempt to defend herself.

Liu Xiangyu cast a sound-isolating array toward Xu An's room and established another barrier around the Xu manor to sever it from the outside world, her tone chillingly grim.

"Words are useless. By the laws of the cultivation world, might makes right. Today, I shall teach you the consequences of a handmaiden stealing what belongs to her master!"

Xiao Cui remained entirely unafraid; as the proud helmsman of the Nine Serenities Sect and the ruler of the greatest underground power in Chunjiang City, why should she fear Liu Xiangyu, a mere foreign snake demon?

"Xu An has shown me great kindness; I will never leave him!"

Xiao Zhu was equally resolute: "Xu An's ancestor saved my life. Such profound grace cannot be repaid in kind, so I could only take human form to repay his descendant!"

Though Xiao Qiu was easily frightened, she stood firm where matters concerning Xu An were involved: "The Master awakened me; I belong to Master for the rest of my life!"

In the courtyard, four Nascent Soul cultivators refused to yield an inch, and a battle of Nascent Soul proportions was on the verge of erupting.

The three individuals pretending to sleep were experiencing such a predicament for the very first time, utterly at a loss for a moment.

"What do we do?" Lu Yang asked, seeking the opinions of the other two.

Meng Jingzhou ground his teeth so fiercely that sparks practically flew:

"Let us kill Xu An first!"
