Chapter 171: Li Meixiu and Yang Wei's Thoughtful Discussion. Aunt Huo’s Arrival; Stirring the Pot!
In the Dimensional Osmanthus World...
The steamy hot springs.
"Hmm, it's bigger than I expected..."
Li Meixiu stood before Yang Wei. Her cocoa-colored skin glistened with moisture, enhancing every curve of her muscular yet partly voluptuous body. She wore a snug one-piece undergarment, her petite breasts were pressed tantalizingly against the fabric while her stiff nipples strained against the material.
Her body was still damp from her earlier soak in the hot springs.
With such a wet body, her skin shone like black gold.
Li Meixiu adjusted the tight strip snug between the wet folds of her vulva and peered closer at the golden slime Yang Wei held out to her.
The slime chirped, "Piidi!" and Yang Wei finished all he'd explained to her with, "So, that's pretty much the gist of it. Do you have any information that might be useful?"
Standing upright again, Li Meixiu tapped her chin in thought. "Well, the Star Sovereign Sect does indeed have six supreme treasures. I don't know all of them, even though I'm an Asura cultivator, but I do know three: the Profound Golden Dawn Pill; but that one's missing, I think... the Ninefold Divine Array, and this little guy." She pointed at the slime.
"The Star Dragon King, once the pet of the Great Star Emperor until he split from the sect."
Yang Wei leaned in, curious. "Why'd he leave?"
Li Meixiu shrugged, adjusting her towel. She patted the slime and rubbed its head affectionately. "This cute fella must've headed straight for you because of the Golden Turtle Body you awakened. Since the Qi from Senior Tortoise's shell forms the foundation of that physique, it likely sensed that connection..."
"Okay, that makes sense," Yang Wei replied calmly.
The slime wriggled out of Yang Wei's grasp, bouncing around and playing with butterflies.
Li Meixiu folded her arms, saying, "It must be Heaven's will if the Star Dragon King ended up with you. Even Senior Tortoise wouldn't have seen this one coming."
But she quickly changed the subject, asking, "So, did you also come here to train? You haven't made much progress in the Six Foundational Stances, and even though you've awakened a new physique, it won't be complete until you finish the first volume of the Profound Black Tortoise Inheritance."
Yang Wei made a calming gesture with his hands, telling her, "I'll get back to training soon. I've already put in a solid month here, so that's enough focus on that discipline for now."
With a disappointed sigh, Li Meixiu gently folded her arms and looked at him with seductive eyes and an sexy smile. "What if I just want to see more of you and have some fun? We could always play that towel game again~"
Rubbing his chin, Yang Wei looked thoughtful. "Tempting offer, I must admit, but I need to focus on brewing a new pill."
Immediately intrigued, Li Meixiu shifted gears. "Oh, what pill?"
It was always like this with them. Yang Wei and Li Meixiu could flirt back and forth, but it was all in good fun to spice up their master-student dynamic. It was just their way of relating to each other. Even with Li Meixiu's attractive body catching his eye, Yang Wei didn't dwell on it much.
Their relationship was straightforward.
Yang Wei said, "Well..." he paused and rubbed his chin while thinking of the right words. "It's a Blood Dragon Strengthening Pill, or something similar."
Li Meixiu pondered for a moment. "Hmm, I've heard of that pill before. Isn't it the one disciples of the Blood Emperor Polarity Sect refine?"
Yang Wei raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what? You practice the Dao of Alchemy too?"
Li Meixiu cracked her knuckles and stretched her muscular, veiny arms. "Oh, no. It's just that they're a sect in the higher Heavens, so it's almost impossible not to interact with them, but we're not exactly on good terms." Before Yang Wei could inquire further, she changed the subject. "But where are you planning on getting the blood of a mature celestial dragon?
That's a rare and major component for refining such a pill."
Yang Wei grinned, producing a bottle filled with golden blood. "Already taken care of."
Li Meixiu looked genuinely surprised. "Wait, so you really have it? How'd you get something so rare?"
Yang Wei's grin faded, replaced by a look of confusion and curiosity. "Huh? I mean, I know it's rare, but shouldn't it be more common for the Star Sovereign Sect? They're on a higher heaven, after all."
"Ehhh..." Li Meixiu shrugged. "Several million years ago, the Blood Emperor went on a rampage and slaughtered almost all the celestial dragons to create the Blood Dragon Pool. That's what caused the rift between us and the Blood Emperor Polarity Sect. If we could find that pool, we might be able to restore a lot of celestial dragons.
Sigh~ but only someone with the Blood Emperor's bloodline could ever hope to achieve that."
"I see," Yang Wei nodded.
Placing a hand on his shoulder, Li Meixiu urged him, "Please, don't go too far in refining this pill. The Blood Emperor started out like you, just wanting to get stronger through pill refining, and look where it led him—to creating the Blood Arts, one of the deadliest branches of demonic cultivation."
The concern on her face was pure and genuine; so much so that she started to look even more feminine to Yang Wei.
That alone made him manually blink twice.
To shake it off, Yang Wei abruptly chuckled. "Are you worried about me? That's so unlike you."
Li Meixiu smiled faintly and sighed tiredly. "I suppose you're right." Discover exclusive tales on mvl
Yang Wei then said, "Well, I should get going. Could you please not forget about those celestial energy pills for... uh..." He pointed at the slime, "it."
Shaking her head, Li Meixiu suggested, "You should really give it a name. And besides, this will be the first and last time I do something like this for you. Even Senior Tortoise would be furious if he heard I was bringing sect resources to the lower regions."
Yang Wei grinned. "That's why you're the best." With that, he crossed through the portal with the slime, back to the real world.
Everything was going smoothly.
He has tricked Senior Yàndiān into giving him celestial dragon blood so could attempt to refine the true Blood Strengthening Pill.
And he'd also used Li Meixiu's affiliation with the Star Sovereign Sect to secure a source of celestial energy that the Immortal Star Plasma Dragon would use absorb and cultivate.
Now, nothing could go wrong, right?
No.
Standing at the entrance of the Dragon Blossom Sect was Huo Zirou, wearing her usual white attire that hugged her curvy, mature body.
She adjusted her straw cone hat and beamed as she looked at the sect. "It's been a while since I've been here," she said.
Behind her, her personal disciple struggled under the weight of heavy bags.
Why didn't she just let me keep these heavy things in a storage pouch or something...!
With a strained voice, he asked, "B-but why are we here, Pill Master?" He sounded like he was suffocating; if only the women in this world cared about something like that. So, he knew he had to act strong so he wouldn't give his Pill Master the ick.
Huo Zirou glanced at him, dressing her light blue bangs, and replied, "To see Yang We—" She stopped abruptly and corrected herself, "To see my niece and nephew."
And maybe that bitch, Guo Xiaomei...
With a wave of her fan, she exclaimed, "Onward!"2
