Chapter 18: Recalling That Night’s Alluring Body, a Maiden of Eighteen as Soft as Cream

With the soul remnant’s help.

Qin Yu escaped the academy smoothly and went to look for a primer that could stabilize the soul.

On the other side.

Ning Bei and his party set out as well.

As he walked along the road, an electronic voice echoed in his mind…

[Detected that Qin Yu has left the academy and intends to head to Shura Cliff to seek Blood Ganoderma in order to strengthen the soul inside the Divine Mirror, and Qin Yu has already acknowledged the soul as his master.]

[Revenge mission triggered, requesting the host to proceed to Shura Cliff at once to prevent your lifelong nemesis from turning the tables again…]

“Oh?”

A flood of information poured into his brain, and Ning Bei’s expression shifted.

He had clearly refined that soul with the Soul-Melting Talisman, so how had it still escaped the Divine Mirror alive and even taken Qin Yu as a disciple?

Truly worthy of the Child of Destiny; even this turned into a stroke of fortune for him.

Surprise aside, Ning Bei did not panic at all, for without Qin Yu he would not be able to locate the opportunity and cut him off.

“Senior Brother Ning, where are we going to train?”

Right then, Wang Teng stepped forward and asked.

Zhao Ming suggested, “I heard An City is dangerous lately, a few demonic beasts broke into the city; how about we go there to punish evil and uphold justice?”

“Compared to An City, Lan City is even more dangerous!” a female disciple cut in. “Rumor says a flower-picking bandit is operating there, targeting young girls, and his methods are so vicious that the victims can’t even walk afterwards.”

…

Ning Bei raised his hand to stop their argument and said, “We’re going to Shura Cliff!”

Shura Cliff?

The noisy scene from a second ago fell into instant silence.

“What? You want to train at Shura Cliff?”

“That place is an uninhabited zone swarming with beasts!”

Facing their horrified looks, Ning Bei smiled faintly. “As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Exactly because Shura Cliff is uninhabited and packed with beasts, many rare spirit items can be found there. Since we rarely get a chance to train outside, don’t you want to take the gamble?”

Upon hearing this, the group looked at one another with mixed feelings.

“That sounds reasonable… but we’re afraid our strength might not be enough.”

“There’s no Elder escorting us this time. Senior Brother Ning, can we really handle Shura Cliff on our own?”

Their faces carried both anxiety and excitement.

“Rest assured, since I have decided to take you to Shura Cliff, I will also bring you back safe and sound.”

Ning Bei promised with a smile.

He was not speaking idly; he had already located suitable items in the System Shop and would redeem them if any emergency arose.

But he did not hurry to redeem them now to avoid waste.

At worst, the young woman beside him was no pushover either; she was the reincarnation of a Great Emperor, and who would believe she had no trump cards?

After receiving Ning Bei’s promise.

The group shed their fear and instead showed eager smiles.

“Shura Cliff, I’ve wanted to visit it for ages.”

“I heard the place is covered with spirit herbs; once we return, we’ll probably all advance by a whole tier!”

“With Senior Brother Ning’s word, we’d walk through blades and fire.”

The party set out cheerfully.

Walking side by side with Ning Bei, Qin Jiujiu asked, “Were you planning to go to Shura Cliff from the start?”

“Yes, there is a century-old Blood Ganoderma there.”

Ning Bei did not hide it; instead he deliberately raised his voice.

Prompted by the system, he had already drawn up a plan to deal with Qin Yu, and before implementing it he needed everyone to hear the words “Blood Ganoderma.”

“Mm.”

Qin Jiujiu asked no more, assuming Ning Bei needed it for cultivation.

Looking at the girl’s delicate profile, Ning Bei could not help recalling the wonderful scene of their passionate night in the secret chamber.

He had to admit her curvaceous figure was like a meticulously carved artwork, flawless in every way.

Especially the unrestrained passion she had shown after her qi deviation formed a stark contrast to her usual pure and lovely appearance…

Even after living two lifetimes, Ning Bei had never seen such a stunning woman in any manga.

What was more, he had experienced her personally.

Exquisite, truly exquisite!

“What is it?”

Qin Jiujiu pressed her lips together, feeling flustered under Ning Bei’s stare.

“Nothing,” Ning Bei withdrew his thoughts and said with a smile, “You’re almost at the Core Formation realm, aren’t you?”

“En… it will still take a few days.”

…

Shura Cliff.

Dense jungle blotted out the sky, white poisonous miasma appeared from time to time, and the stink of rotting corpses hung in the air.

The moment the party reached the outskirts, they encountered many beasts, yet as disciples of the Heavenly Martial Academy they were no pushovers.

However, the deeper they went, the stronger the beasts became, so Ning Bei and the other inner-sect disciples surrounded the outer-sect disciples as they moved.

“Senior Brother Ning, I see you have three legs!”

A female disciple suddenly pointed at Ning Bei and giggled foolishly.

“Silly girl, you’re poisoned.”

Ning Bei shook his head helplessly, told Wang Teng to give her an antidote pill, and reminded everyone, “Be careful when picking spirit plants; don’t touch what you don’t recognize. The prettier it looks, the more poisonous it usually is.”

“Yes!”

After answering, the group kept moving.

Since they were already here, it would be a pity not to venture deeper.

Not long afterward.

Qin Yu arrived as well.

“Damn it, why is Ning Bei here too?”

Seeing that familiar figure ahead, Qin Yu felt numb.

He felt as if he were living in Ning Bei’s shadow; the man was everywhere.

“Humph, since you let me run into him…” A sinister gleam flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes as he asked expectantly, “Master, can you help me kill him here?”

“No.”

“Why not?” Qin Yu protested at once. “Aren’t you the Heavenly Venerable of Great Love from the Immortal Realm? Killing a mere mortal should be easy for you, right?”

“Rebellious disciple, are you teaching your master how to act?”

“I…”

Qin Yu instantly wilted.

Since he still relied on the old man inside him to turn the tables, he had to apologize obediently. “Please calm down, Master, that wasn’t what I meant. It’s just that Ning Bei is too hateful… I don’t understand!”

“I understand your frustration,” the soul remnant soothed. “But for now I am only a soul; my power is limited. Even if I killed him for you, how would I ensure your safe retreat? Besides, don’t you want to take revenge with your own hands?”

“O-of course I want to do it myself, but I don’t know how long it will take.”

Qin Yu gritted his teeth.

“Relax. Once we get the Blood Ganoderma, with my help you’ll soon have the power to surpass him.”

“Thank you, Master. I was impulsive just now.”

“No need for thanks between master and disciple, but Yu, you must learn to use your brain and not let anger control you.”

“Master, what do you mean?”

“Since we have met them here, isn’t this also an opportunity?”

The soul remnant outlined its plan.

It would have Qin Yu disguise himself and cover his face, then use its power to alter his aura so he could slip into Ning Bei’s team.

That way, in the perilous Shura Cliff, Ning Bei’s group would unwittingly protect Qin Yu, and the soul would not need to expend its frail strength.

After hearing the plan, Qin Yu felt a bit uneasy. “But Master, what if I’m discovered?”

The soul said confidently, “I may not kill him myself, but with me around he won’t be able to kill you either. Yu, act boldly; I still need you to find the Blood Ganoderma, so I would never harm you.”

“Mm!”

Urged on by the soul remnant, Qin Yu felt much more at ease.

After disguising himself, he walked toward the crowd.

“Senior Brother Ning, someone’s over there!”

Wang Teng and the others exclaimed.

“He finally came.”

Ning Bei’s lips curled upward uncontrollably.

He had been looking for Qin Yu’s figure all along; truth be told, without the Child of Destiny leading the way, they would have a hard time finding the Blood Ganoderma.

Shura Cliff was simply too vast.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous, I mean no harm.”

Approaching them, Qin Yu pinched his voice and said, “I am a roaming cultivator who travels everywhere. Meeting you here today is fate. Shura Cliff is fraught with danger, so why don’t we join forces?”

Everyone looked at one another and then at Ning Bei and Qin Jiujiu.

Qin Jiujiu was about to refuse, but Ning Bei stopped her.

“That’s wonderful.”

Ning Bei stepped forward with a smile. “How should I address you?”

“I neither change my name when I travel nor when I sit; my surname is Gou (TL: 苟 – Gou), given name Bei,” Qin Yu said excitedly. “So Brother, you agree to join forces?”

“Haha, so it’s Brother Dog (TL: Also Gou, but for dog – 狗)!”

A teasing light flashed in Ning Bei’s eyes. “With so much danger here, one more person means more strength, so why wouldn’t I agree? Besides, you’re not that Qin Yu who shat his pants and ate it himself; we’re happy to have you.”

“Haha.”

Hearing this, Wang Teng and the others burst into loud laughter.

Qin Yu: “???”
