Chapter 139: Fairy Caihong (Rainbow)

“Wenxin, do you know what medicine I put inside?” Ling Jue looked at the effect of her new medicine, smiled with satisfaction, and then began to explain to Ye Wenxin.

Ye Wenxin looked at the leader’s state and quickly searched her knowledge of herbs in her mind, skillfully naming several herbs.

Ling Jue nodded in satisfaction and continued to explain earnestly to Ye Wenxin, “Yes, but you forgot to mention Sea Grass. Without this medicine, no matter how excellent the formula is, it won’t have any effect on cultivators.”

Ye Wenxin suddenly realized and pretended to exclaim, “It almost slipped my mind. Ordinary medicinal properties can be forced out, but Big Brother Ling, I heard that Sea Grass is extremely poisonous, if it’s forcefully extracted, one might become mentally impaired.”

It was this sentence that made the group of people, who were doing exactly that to help the man, stop their actions and look at Ling Jue and Ye Wenxin in unison.

Obviously, these people originally wanted to give Ling Jue a show of their strength, but after they had themselves thoroughly wrapped up, they fell into their own trap.

“What are you looking at? You can’t beat Big Brother Ling anyway,” Ye Wenxin also entered taunting mode, secretly relieved that she had not become Ling Jue’s opponent.

“Don’t say that, Little Sister Wenxin. At least they have the courage. So, who sent you?” Ling Jue’s eyes still carried a smile, but beneath the smile was an incomparable iciness.

She was still Ling Jue, but now she had become the Young Master Ling Jue they all knew.

The group of people looked at each other, their expressions very uneasy.

“Let me guess, you guys aren’t from the God King Sect, just people wearing their clothes to cause trouble for me, yes?” Ling Jue, seeing them not answering, decided to speculate on their identities.

“Looking at those shoes, they’re stained with mud and appear to have been worn for a while.”

Ling Jue’s gaze fell on the soles of their shoes, making them shrink back. Ling Jue continued speaking to herself, “Relatively pale skin, looks like you rarely see the sun. But there are calluses on your fingers, plus the mud stains on your shoes. You mainly walk and even need to enter some caves. If I’m not mistaken, you guys are from the Broken Dragon Cave, right?”

Upon hearing this analysis, the men’s expressions became strange, showing a hint of panic. One of them even loudly retorted, “Nonsense! I am a God King Sect disciple!”

Ling Jue, however, calmly fanned herself and continued, “Oh, I have a good relationship with the God King Sect. If you guys are really from there, dare to show me a few moves?”

The group became even more shaken, but they seemed unwilling to admit to their affiliation just like that. One of them continued, “Who knows if you’re trying to steal our God King Sect’s techniques!”

They still refused to admit it, but their tone became more frenetic. Even if they did not admit it, anyone with keen eyes could see the truth.

Broken Dragon Cave was primarily known for tomb raiding, ranking last among the Ten Great Immortal Sects, with a less-than-stellar reputation. It seemed that some infatuated young girl had harbored delusions about Ling Jue, leading to the vengeful farce happening before them.

“Oh, if he can’t do it, then can I?” A lazy female voice sounded amidst the conversation.

Turning their heads, they saw a woman arriving on a flying sword, clad in colorful robes that sparkled dazzlingly in the sunlight. Watching her stung Ye Wenxin’s eyes a little, but she recognized this big sister’s identity.

God King Sect’s―Fairy Caihong.

Despite being reluctantly regarded as a Fairy, her conduct and demeanor were completely at odds with the strictness of God King Hall (author wrote Hall here instead of Sect). She indulged in all kinds of vices and had a fondness for handsome men. There were often rumors in the Martial World about this unconventional Fairy Caihong’s love affairs.

Ye Wenxin rubbed her eyes hard and was finally able to see the face of the Fairy Caihong clearly.

She had a pretty and amorous face, with a hint of worldly allure, like a sexy young married woman.

Before Ye Wenxin had met Ling Jue, she had heard stories about Ling Jue and the Fairy Caihong. She sneakily observed Ling Jue’s expression, and seeing her frosty demeanor, it seemed as if the rumors about Fairy Caihong’s admiration for Ling Jue were not unfounded.

“Who are you?!” The self-proclaimed God King Sect disciples did not recognize the Fairy Caihong at all. They were blinded by her dazzling clothes for quite some time before they could finally look directly at her.

“Fairy Caihong of the God King Sect.” Fairy Caihong stated her name, and the group’s faces changed. They exchanged glances and eventually fled, dragging the man who lay motionless on the ground with them.

Peace was restored once again, but there was now an extra person on Ling Jue’s flying magic item.

“Young Master Ling, I trust you’ve been well since we last met.” Fairy Caihong flirted with Ling Jue, her sultry demeanor sending shivers down one’s spine.

Ling Jue seemed unwilling to engage, appearing to dislike the Fairy Caihong. Ye Wenxin was quite curious about what deranged thing Fairy Caihong had done to Ling Jue, but afraid of making Ling Jue unhappy, she did not dare to ask.

On the contrary, the Fairy Caihong seemed unfazed. She sat beside Ye Wenxin, carefully examining her.

“Fiancée?”

Ye Wenxin shook her head.

“Sweetheart?”

Ye Wenxin continued to shake her head.

Though it was just a few words, Ye Wenxin surprisingly understood that Fairy Caihong was asking about her relationship with Ling Jue. Seeing Ye Wenxin shake her head repeatedly, Fairy Caihong chuckled and took out a delicate dagger from her pocket.

It had elaborate craftsmanship, but the multicolored appearance made Ye Wenxin realize at a glance that it was Fairy Caihong’s work.

“If you leave, I’ll give this to you,” continued Fairy Caihong, her voice devoid of any threatening undertones, but the implication of dismissal was clear in her words.

“No, thanks. I have something better.”

Ye Wenxin shook her head, taking out the dagger Ling Jue had given her before. Fairy Caihong’s expression changed drastically upon seeing it.

“Ling Jue, you actually gave her the dagger I gave you!” Fairy Caihong was somewhat angry, questioning Ling Jue why she would do such a thing.

Ling Jue gave her an indifferent glance and continued, “Since you already gave it to me, it’s mine. Whom I choose to give it to is none of your business, right?”

Her reasoning left Fairy Caihong speechless. Despite her desire to be angry, she seemed to have nowhere to vent, so she angrily snapped the rainbow dagger in her hand and then gave Ye Wenxin a meaningful look, as if she wished she could tear her into pieces as well.

Ye Wenxin felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. She knew Ling Jue would bring trouble, but she did not expect that even an elder-ranked woman like Fairy Caihong would be interested in her.

“Elder Caihong, if there’s nothing else, please leave my flying magic item,” Ling Jue frowned slightly, issuing an eviction order to Fairy Caihong.

Although it was impolite to speak to elders in such a manner, Ling Jue could not help but worry when she saw Ye Wenxin being threatened by Fairy Caihong.

“I do have something, I’m lost and I want to ride on your flying magic item to go to the Azure Wings Sect together.” Fairy Caihong shamelessly insisted on staying, trying to appear a bit intimate with Ling Jue, but Ling Jue avoided her completely.

Ye Wenxin found this funny, recalling Ling Jue’s interactions with her in the forest. Now, Ling Jue’s karma had caught up to her, and Fairy Caihong was like sticky candy, unable to be shaken off no matter what.

“Elder Caihong, don’t think I don’t know your intentions just because you found some people to collaborate with.” Ling Jue seemed to have had enough, exposing that the fake members of the God King Sect from earlier were sent by Fairy Caihong.

“As expected of Young Master Ling, you know everything. Then do you know why I like you so much?”

“No, I just want to know how to make you not like me.”

Ling Jue felt helpless. She did not want Ye Wenxin to see this side of her, but Ye Wenxin even watched with great pleasure, baffling her.

“That’s impossible.”

“Then I don’t need to know. Please leave,” Ling Jue gestured for her to leave. Fairy Caihong seemed like she wanted to say something more, but she paused and eventually left the flying magic item to sit on her flying sword.

Ye Wenxin noticed that Ling Jue had taken out a bottle of red medicine. Seeing the fiery red color, she even suspected that Ling Jue intended to poison Fairy Caihong.

Fairy Caihong seemed to understand this as well, so she did not continue to pester Ling Jue and quickly found a reason to leave.

With the sky finally quiet again, Ling Jue turned to Ye Wenxin, who still appeared to be rejoicing at her misfortune, with even more resentment in her eyes.

“Little Sister Wenxin, I’m in such a plight, and yet you can still laugh.”

“It’s amazing that you can still like women even after being pestered by such a difficult woman.” Ye Wenxin found it harder to suppress her laughter the more she looked. For some reason, seeing Fairy Caihong made her miss Hei Tong and Gu Aotian, who were somewhere out there doing their thieving shenanigans.

“Little Sister Wenxin, you’re making fun of me again. You and her are completely different. No, you can’t even be compared.” Ling Jue showed a worried expression. Curious, Ye Wenxin pressed for more information and learned that Fairy Caihong was never interested in Ling Jue to begin with.

Fairy Caihong was proficient in all sorts of vices, while Medicine King Valley had vast wealth, a suitable source of splurging money. So, Fairy Caihong had chosen a dark and windy night to try and do some permanent things, and if it were not for Ling Jue’s vigilance, there would be no character known as the Peerless Gentleman now.

Besides, for several years, Ling Jue had been constantly harassed by Fairy Caihong, causing her mental stress. If it were not for the agreement with Fairy Fengya calling her to the Azure Wings Sect, Ling Jue would probably still be badgered by Fairy Caihong now.

“Anyway, Fairy Caihong is very dangerous. Stay away from her and don’t let her corrupt you,” concluded Ling Jue with a hint of exhaustion. Seeing Ye Wenxin’s apparent interest in Fairy Caihong only added to her frustration, but she continued to warn her.

“Long Qing’er’s dislike for me also has something to do with this Fairy Caihong.”

Hearing this, Ye Wenxin felt even more intrigued by the chaos in the immortal circle. She wanted to continue asking for the truth, but Ling Jue refused to speak further, taking out a few books from her bag of holding and handing them to Ye Wenxin.
