59 Chapter 59: Bullying the Chosen One!
On the other side..
Yuan Ming, had been hunting monsters these past few days to increase his power. While hunting spirit beast he had unknowingly entered deeper parts of the forest.
He came across a pair of disciples from the different sect who were killing spirit beasts like they were slaughtering chickens. He was using a stealth technique he got from the ring to keep an eye on these female disciples because he felt like there was something about that was attracting him towards them. "Come out or I will kill you where you stand."
Soon he was shocked that he was found by one of them so soon. Hearing the warning he panicked but did not show it on his face as he walked out. There was no point in hiding anymore if the woman had already found him.
When he walked out of the shade Yuan Ming was stunned seeing the beautiful appearance of the two female disciples in front of him. He had never seen anyone more beautiful than them except that Ruo'er he saw in the championship. Even though most of their facial features were covered by a veil he could tell that they were extremely beautiful just from their face structure and eyes..
Removing the cloaking technique he walked out of the shadow. Xueyan raised her eyebrow seeing the cultivation of the boy that walked out of hiding. He was only showing his Qi gathering level third cultivation. Chen Xueyan's shock intensified even further when she saw his bone age.
'He seems like a genius.' She thought as she glanced at his bone age. Strong cultivators had the ability to easily glance through the bone age of the weaker cultivators unless they had a special means to hide it. Only when a strong cultivator allows the weather one to see through their bone age can they check it otherwise all they will see is a fog blocking their view.
"Who are you? How dare you sneak up on us?" Jiang Shi did not bother checking his bone age after seeing his cultivation. Hearing her cold and authoritative voice Yuan Ming frowned a little but calmed down soon. Cupping his hands he introduced himself.
"Fellow cultivators I am Yuan Ming, I was on a mission from the sect. Please pardon my rudeness. I was killing monsters nearby and happened to notice a commotion." Hearing his words Jiang She narrowed her eyes and argued coldly.
"Do you think I would believe that a third level of Qi gathering cultivator is able to hunt in the area where mostly peak qi gathering realm spirit beasts roam around." her cold voice turned colder as she spoke his line.
Xueyan also narrowed her eyes a little but soon calmed down after what she had faced a few days ago, this was nothing. Yuan Ming silently cursed himself for such a blunder in his mind but his expression did not change on the outside.
"I was chasing a beast that escaped in this area but it seems the beast escaped." scratching the back of his head Yuan Ming replied with an embarrassed expression. He wanted to make them believe his story and it might have worked if they had not met 'him'.
"Do you think I will believe what you say?" Jiang Shi still continued to put pressure on Yuan Ming, causing his expression to turn solemn. She was still angered with the slap mark on her face and she wanted to vent her frustration on someone. She was never even scolded by her father or anyone let alone being slapped on the face.
Although it sounds unfair and unjust this is what the cultivation world was. The weak are the prey of the strong.
"What do you want then?" gritting his teeth Yuan Ming exclaimed as he looked at the girl in front of him coldly. "If you manage to withstand my strike you are free to leave." Her words made Yuan Ming realize that he was a cultivator now and he had to listen to strong people to survive or he himself had to get strong! Stronger than anyone!!
Even Xueyan did not interrupt or stop the argument. what her junior sister did had nothing to do with her. She could only pity the youngster for his bad luck but due to her cultivation technique that too seemed difficult for her.
She decided to save the kid if he was in life threatening danger.
"Fine!" with his jaws clenched in frustration and anger Yuan Ming agreed to the request and prepared to be on defense.
Jiang Shi exploded her cultivation of the second level of Qi condensation realm. Her qi flared as she raised her sword to perform a sword technique.
There is a special trait of the Qi Condensation realm is that cultivators in this realm can make their qi leave their body and attack the people from a short distance. Jiang Shi used this same trait and launched her peak yellow grade technique to attack Yuan Ming.
A small Phoenix made of ice nature shot out of her sword made its way towards Yuan Ming. seeing the attack coming closer, the boy's face turned serious and he braced himself for the impact. He used his sword and channeled his qi to guard against the incoming attack. 'I need to keep my cultivation a secret but I need to survive this as well.'
And soon the attack landed!
Yuan Ming's figure flew backwards as he coughed up blood mid air. Before he could collide with the tree Xueyan moved and caught him from behind.
Yuan Ming braced for the impact and waited for himself to collide with the tree but he felt himself collide with something soft instead. When he turned to see he saw the beautiful woman caught him from behind using her qi.
The wind blew and he was able to see some of her facial features including her juicy and moist lips. Her appearance entranced him that he even forgot to breathe. Unaware of the boy's thoughts she made him land on the ground.
It wasn't until his feet touched solid ground Yuan Ming came out of his shock and a light blush appeared on his face.
Jiang Shi got frustrated seeing her senior sister save the boy but did not say anything for now.
Xueyan brought out a bottle of pill from her pouch and levitated it towards the boy using her qi and spoke. "Use these Qi replenishing and healing pills to recover. Since the agreement is fulfilled, you can leave now."
Her cold voice struck Yuan Ming's heart but Xueyan ignored the boy and walked towards her junior sister before saying. "Let's go!"
"Senior sister, why did you save him? didn't you see how he was looking at you?" Jiang Shi's cold tone had a hint of frustration inside of it.
Hearing this tone she shook her head and did not say anything in return as she continued to walk at moderate speed, but inwardly she was recalling the words of the handsome boy she had met before. "I can see their pride, anger, arrogance, everything is on the surface plain as day."
Those words echoed in her heart as she imagined him saying that, there was even a small blush that surfaced her face.
'Was he really right? Does our technique truly have these flaws?' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
