Chapter 106: Yet another Disappointing Master

Although she had sacrificed herself by turning into a man, this Shura Hall’s Hall Master seemed to have a one-track mind, insisting on hanging herself to Ye Wenxin’s tree.

“Didn’t your Shura Hall state to only accept women?” Ye Wenxin felt she could not give up. She needed to fight for her freedom. She had already inexplicably taken a fall on Fairy Fengya’s side, to have her kneeling again, Ye Wenxin was not happy.

“Rules are meant to be broken, and having a junior brother is also a good thing for us. Don’t you think so, Head Senior Sister?” Liu Yansheng looked at Qian Bingxue, as if feeling these words from her could gain Qian Bingxue’s approval.

“Right, having a junior brother would make it easier to work…no, I mean, some things would be convenient.” Luo Miaoyi finally came back to her senses; she had the least seniority here, almost everyone could call her junior sister.

Imagining herself being called ‘senior sister’ by such a good-looking man someday, Luo Miaoyi suddenly became a bit spirited.

Concerning the matter of having slept together, they were unfamiliar at first but grew accustomed to it soon enough. Maybe in the future, she could truly become Ye Wenxin’s Dao companion.

Luo Miaoyi displayed a smile, already beginning to think about what positions to use when eating Ye Wenxin for the first time. The others’ attitudes were ambiguous, and when Shura Hall’s Hall Master finished saying that sentence, they paused for a few seconds.

It was unclear whether it was a deliberate pause, or because learning the Demon Race’s cultivation method not only emptied their hearts but also their brains.

“Everything will be according to Master’s arrangement,” Head Senior Sister Qian Bingxue eventually spoke up. She respectfully bowed towards Shura Hall’s Hall Master, surprisingly not bringing up any objections.

“Miss Qian, your Master’s mind is empty, why are you following her example? I’m a dignified man, how could I be mingling amongst women?” Ye Wenxin emphasized through gritted teeth, strongly denouncing Shura Hall’s Hall Master.

“Dear junior brother, let me ask you, do you think I’m pretty?” Third Senior Sister was happy with this, she tilted Ye Wenxin’s chin up, pressing her willowy body against Ye Wenxin, so enchantingly fox-like, making Ye Wenxin instinctively step back.

“Miss Liu, please conduct yourself with dignity. I might be weak, but I understand the importance of maintaining purity and self-care. Unless Miss Liu feels your beauty alone is enough to make me betray the Azure Wings Sect?” Ye Wenxin waved her long sleeve, further accentuating her righteousness. Although she knew not if she had used the right words, Ye Wenxin was disinclined to come up with other lines at this critical juncture.

“Maintain purity and self-care? Do you think yourself some great lady? Even I, the senior sister, don’t feel like I’m losing out, so why should you?” Liu Yansheng saw Ye Wenxin’s avoidance and became even more playful.

“There’s an emphasis on gender equality nowadays. If you’re losing out, then I’m losing out too… This won’t do, I won’t turn my back on the Azure Wings Sect even if I’m beaten to death!” Ye Wenxin also urged on, planting her ass on the floor. Since scheming did not work, she just decided to be boring.

In any case, if these people resorted to forcing her in the end, at worst, either the fish would die or the net would break (life and death struggle). Ye Wenxin silently made a firm resolution, and Shura Hall’s Hall Master above the dais finally reacted.

“What if I teach you how to control your Iceborn Constitution?” Her voice still lacked any fluctuations, but the words spoken struck a chord in Ye Wenxin’s heart.

Her Iceborn Constitution had become increasingly uncontrollable lately, if not for this, she would not have been targeted by Qian Bingxue. The biggest reason she came to Shura Hall with Qian Bingxue was not for their promise at all.

But because she wanted to know whether Shura Hall’s Hall Master had some way to completely hide her Iceborn Constitution.

Liu Yansheng’s night ambush yesterday was done under someone else’s instructions, but in this Martial World, countless others wanted to possess Ye Wenxin. Unless she killed everyone in this world, her constitution would cause more trouble sooner or later.

“This…” Ye Wenxin hesitated, yet she would not kneel so readily as she did with Fairy Fengya last time.

“If you agree, This Hall Master will tell you the method,” Shura Hall’s Hall Master said again, already standing up from her chair.

“Then I would like to know, if I agree to become your true disciple, you all won’t force me to dual cultivate?” Ye Wenxin looked at the woman in the great hall and then took the fact she was a fake into consideration. Shura Hall’s Hall Master appeared to be a rare talent, but she could not ignore that there were still too many things off.

“We won’t,” promised Shura Hall’s Hall Master. Ye Wenxin still felt uneasy.

“Could you make a Blood Oath?” Ye Wenxin continued to lure her, and upon hearing this, the nearby Qian Bingxue anxiously unsheathed her long sword again.

“Young Master Ye, you’ve gone too far.”

“You all know how rare an Iceborn Constitution is, to protect my innocence, my young heart has been left with too many scars,” Ye Wenxin uttered very mournfully, as if she had truly suffered such a life daily.

Qian Bingxue’s brows moved slightly, looking like she was already wavering, yet still, she said, “My Master’s one word is worth nine sacred tripods (have enormous weight), if she says she won’t force you, she definitely won’t.”

“I will naturally trust your Master, but your junior sisters are a different story. I’m so handsome and suave, it’s too dangerous for me to be in this Shura Hall,” Ye Wenxin continued to speak with poise and confidence, striving to maximize her self-interests.

“I, Bai Chi, swear that no one shall force you to dual cultivate as long as you’re within Shura Hall,” Shura Hall’s Hall Master added another set of words, but this time, as soon as she opened her mouth, a red mark appeared on her forehead.

A corresponding blue mark also appeared on Ye Wenxin’s forehead, indicating the Blood Oath had been confirmed on both sides.

Qian Bingxue seemed to have something more to say; in the end, she stifled those words back.

Ye Wenxin had gotten the promise she wanted, so she obediently knelt and knocked her head to the floor three times, “Disciple Ye Liangchen, meets Master.”

Shura Hall’s Hall Master gestured for Ye Wenxin to rise and immediately moved, fiercely hitting Ye Wenxin’s body. Ye Wenxin did not dodge this time, stiffly enduring the whip.

But unexpectedly, not only did she not feel any pain, it even brought about a bizarre sort of pleasure. The nearby Luo Miaoyi wore an envious expression, seeming to be missing the good old days of being whipped with the Shura Whip by Master.

“Concentrate.” Noticing Ye Wenxin’s distraction, Shura Hall’s Hall Master reminded.

Ye Wenxin hurried to steady her mind, while the whip continued to lash her body, and surprisingly, the more it struck, the sturdier her foundation became. Integrating with the previous spirit stone decoction’s tempering, Ye Wenxin’s body was now as mighty as a Transformer’s.

“Truly amazing, I couldn’t even withstand it after being struck over a dozen times. Junior Brother Ye actually persevered through more than a hundred hits.” Luo Miaoyi watched flabbergasted, even though the Shura Whip’s lashing made one feel very pleasant, it was also very physically demanding.

If the beating only started to hurt at the end, it meant that the foundation had been beaten to its limit. But now Ye Wenxin was still kneeling dutifully over there, just fine, yet her clothes were torn at the back, revealing fair skin.

With the Bone-shrinking Technique and the Shape-shifting Xiao Zhang had imparted to her combined, even if her clothes were obliterated, no fake man flaws could be detected at all. Just like this, half a quarter of an hour passed, Shura Hall’s Hall Master stopped and handed the whip to Qian Bingxue.

“Master, what’s the meaning of this?”

“I’m tired, you continue.”

After saying this, Shura Hall’s Hall Master sat down in a chair. Qian Bingxue, taken aback, could only brace herself and did as told.

Around two hundred lashes later, Qian Bingxue grew tired and switched with Liu Yansheng. Following that, more than a hundred lashes were given before Luo Miaoyi took over the Shura Whip. Ye Wenxin was already lying on the floor, her leisurely demeanor leaving them dumbfounded.

Ye Wenxin began to feel bored, she looked up and asked the others, “Will this end any time soon?”

“It will when you feel pain.” Liu Yansheng, who was sitting there resting, shot a fierce glare at Ye Wenxin, as if she no longer knew how to describe her current disorderly mood.

“Ah, it hurts to death,” Ye Wenxin shouted as soon as she heard this, and her flat voice drew more glares from the few people present, who simply felt Ye Wenxin’s performance was insincere.

Be that as it may, they also realized in that instant why their Hall Master went so far as to break the rules to take in Ye Wenxin as a disciple.

With such a monstrous talent, coupled with the Iceborn Constitution, Ye Wenxin’s prospects were completely limitless.

“Since I’ve passed the apprenticeship test, um, can you start teaching me how to control my Iceborn Constitution?” Seeing as she had already worshipped the Master, and they had struck her so many times, Ye Wenxin pressed further.

The Shura Whip was Shura Hall’s guardian treasure, it naturally consumed a lot of Qi, and tempering the foundation also required the body to absorb a huge amount of Qi. However, at this moment, no one had the energy to speak and could only stare angrily at Ye Wenxin.

“Well, Master, hurry and teach me,” Ye Wenxin asked for a manual from Shura Hall’s Hall Master, entirely oblivious to the despair in everyone’s eyes.

Shura Hall’s Hall Master just raised her hand and threw a manual on the floor by Ye Wenxin.

Ye Wenxin grinned from ear to ear, eagerly sitting in the great hall to flip through the manual. Her grin disappeared as she read, turning to a bitter smile.

“Master, are you pulling my leg? I want to learn the trick to control my Iceborn Constitution, what you gave me is a dual cultivation technique!”

“Learning dual cultivation can help control the Iceborn Constitution.” Shura Hall’s Hall Master dropped these words softly as if forgetting what she had just said.

Ye Wenxin was itching with anger. She remembered how readily Shura Hall’s Hall Master had sworn not to force her into dual cultivation. Now she realized it was because the woman knew that the best way for her to learn control was by studying.

After all the turmoil, she was back to square one.

“Alright, I’m tired. I’ll leave the rest of the hall matters to you.” Seeing Ye Wenxin’s face full of despair, Shura Hall’s Hall Master waved her hand, giving her final order to the others. Despite her cold demeanor, Ye Wenxin could not help but feel a sense of ‘I like seeing you wanting to kill me but you can’t’ from her.
