Chapter 48: The Beautiful Mute

She hoped that Hei Tong would keep up the good work, become more wicked and immoral, and then steal everything from the Azure Wings Sect.

Ye Wenxin was looking forward to it so much, yet…

On the third day in the backwoods, Hei Tong found Ye Wenxin again.

“Wenxin, I’m here again.” Hei Tong showed up again, and the ingratiating look on her face was even more obvious.

“Don’t tell me, you can’t even defeat those old guys.” A new problem occurred to Ye Wenxin. No matter how fast Hei Tong was, it would still be very difficult to snatch the bags of holding off those old bastards.

If Hei Tong was not the founder’s spirit beast, she would probably have already been turned into a braised crow, let alone become the alpha of the backwoods with that level of cultivation.

“I’m also desperate. Those old geezers stay together every day and don’t give me a chance to strike.” Hei Tong was particularly aggrieved. She also promised Ye Wenxin not to turn into her human form in front of the old geezers, but as soon as she stood there, anyone could tell Hei Tong was up to no good again.

Several times, not only did she not get anything, she even had a few feathers knocked off.

“You dunce. If you can’t rob those old geezers, their disciples would do too. Find those wealthy disciples and go after them as soon as you see them.” Ye Wenxin put forth a new idea, and Hei Tong’s eyes sparkled as she listened, as if she just realized she could use this trick.

Although Hei Tong had lived for a thousand years, she had just recently gained the ability to transform, and her intelligence was only about that of a ten-year-old child. Naturally, she could not understand the complex operations of these humans.

“Alright, I’m off then.” After saying this, Hei Tong disappeared like the wind once more.

The others looked at Ye Wenxin, their expressions turning increasingly weirder, as Ye Wenxin became increasingly harder for them to read.

“She and I met through alchemy. I can’t tell you anything else.” Ye Wenxin looked at the weird expressions on everyone’s faces and gave a very brief explanation.

The mention of alchemy lifted everyone’s doubts.

“Alchemy is great. I heard the one who teaches alchemy is the Junior Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.”

Everyone gradually got used to the sense of crisis in the forest, and even began gossiping about the Azure Wings Sect.

“What’s so great about alchemy? Crafting artifacts though, now that’s the true path. Unfortunately, the Azure Wings Sect doesn’t have that course.” The big guy also expressed his aspirations, and it was a pity that the Azure Wings Sect did not have the goal he pursued.

“All these can only be secondary pursuits. After all, the Azure Wings Sect is the leading immortal sect, so of course, cultivation comes first.” Someone else offered a different opinion, which Gu Aotian sneered at.

“Hmph, this Azure Wings Sect faction could not have become the leading immortal sect, it could only be the tail if it weren’t for Fairy Fengya.” Speaking of Fairy Fengya, Gu Aotian’s face was filled with longing.

Ye Wenxin seemed to be able to imagine the plot’s development, with Gu Aotian becoming Fairy Fengya’s true disciple and experiencing inevitable events with his own master.

Although this brat was not the type of male protagonist she liked, thinking of Fairy Fengya transforming from a once-in-a-generation genius to a little woman like this, Ye Wenxin felt quite pleased.

“Ah, are you here for Fairy Fengya too?”

“What a coincidence, so am I.”

The topic took a completely different turn after the name Fairy Fengya was brought up. Of course, the matter of every disciple under Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng getting expelled due to Fairy Fengya was also mentioned.

Coupled with Fatty’s exaggerated descriptions, Ye Wenxin felt that she was actually about to fall into Qi Deviation.

She suppressed the anger within her and took out the spirit wine from the storage ring. As soon as she uncapped the bottle, the wine’s aroma wafted out, intoxicating just by the smell.

Everyone’s gazes turned to Ye Wenxin, with surprise and confusion in their eyes, as if they were increasingly unable to fathom Ye Wenxin.

Ye Wenxin could not be bothered to notice. She took a sip of the spirit wine, felt a little better, and only then did she explain this spirit wine’s efficacy to the others.

“This wine is for recuperating the body, not suitable for you to drink.” More importantly, these youngsters would not be able to handle such a strong spirit wine.

But Ye Wenxin could not tell them this, so she quickly put away the spirit wine. Everyone looked a little disappointed, but they quickly resumed chatting away.

“Big Sis, this wine smells really good.” Unlike the others, however, Gu Xiangsi still persisted, pleading with Ye Wenxin to let her taste the wine.

Compared to others, Gu Xiangsi was much more qualified, but she could only have a few licks, otherwise it would harm her body. Ye Wenxin, not wanting to coddle Gu Xiangsi too much, ignored her request, but Gu Xiangsi still pestered her desperately.

“Big Sis, just one sip, pweeeaasee, I’ll do whatever you ask.” For the sake of a sip of wine, she completely sold herself out, acting coquettish and cutesy in various ways. Ye Wenxin, unable to bear the physical and mental torture, finally agreed.

Gu Xiangsi bobbed her head excitedly, but it must be said, she had very good insight, as just a few mouthfuls could make her break through several stages.

However, Ye Wenxin was afraid that Gu Xiangsi would be attracted by this spiritual wine and lose control, so after some consideration, she poured a small glass, and then lightly dipped her finger in.

Gu Xiangsi thought this was fine too and leaned over Ye Wenxin’s finger, licking it gently.

Just one lick made her shudder. The spirit wine had a rich taste, just a quick lick and her cultivation base increased by one rank. Thinking that her own cultivation base was lagging behind, with the spirit wine’s rich and mellow taste driving her crazy, a hint of greed appeared in Gu Xiangsi’s eyes again.

Ye Wenxin pursed her lips, and ultimately dipped her finger for the second drop.

Gu Xiangsi’s eyes shone. This time she simply opened her mouth and drank the spirit wine on the fingertip without reservation. Her face, which had been normal just now, instantly turned red.

That kind of charm did not seem like the demeanor of a mere fourteen-year-old child. Ye Wenxin looked a little unsettled.

This was the real vixen. In just a few years, this child would definitely become a peerless beauty.

“Big Sis, I want more.” Gu Xiangsi was already starting to get a little drunk, but was subconsciously addicted to spirit wine, so she pleaded again.

Ye Wenxin held a wine glass in her hand, and to get closer to that wine glass, directly sat on top of Ye Wenxin, facing her.

An enchanting scenery, however, for Ye Wenxin, it was just a fleeting moment of excitement. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she drank the spirit wine in the glass, a devilish smile spreading across her childish face.

“All gone now.”

“Ah.”

Gu Xiangsi was a bit angry, yet seeing that Ye Wenxin had really drank the spirit wine in one gulp, she could do nothing to Ye Wenxin.

“Be good, you really can’t drink too much of this.” Ye Wenxin gently nudged Gu Xiangsi, gesturing for her to return to her normal posture. Gu Xiangsi was even more dissatisfied, but still got off obediently. After a while, she fell asleep due to the alcohol.

Ye Wenxin took out a blanket from her bag of holding to cover Gu Xiangsi, and then went to sit beside Su Mei.

“Seen enough?” She spoke to Su Mei in a volume low enough for only them to hear. Su Mei gave no response. She knew not whether it was because Su Mei was truly asleep or she was a little embarrassed to have watched the ambiguous interaction between Ye Wenxin and Gu Xiangsi just now.

No matter how amiable and how close Ye Wenxin was with Gu Xiangsi, that kind of attitude was just too suggestive.

Ye Wenxin understood this as well, but this Gu Xiangsi was an airhead and had no idea that her actions had caused strange misunderstandings.

“I’m not interested in women, Xiangsi just likes to make mischief, and if I want to control her, I have to use some small tricks.”

Su Mei remained motionless, unwilling to pay Ye Wenxin any attention. Ye Wenxin stopped explaining and intended to get up, but Su Mei spoke.

“You’ll hurt her if you act like this.”

“Hm, what do you mean?”

“She relies too much on you. She won’t mature if she’s by your side.” Su Mei still did not look back, only telling Ye Wenxin the results of her observations over the past few days.

Ye Wenxin also began to recall Gu Xiangsi’s performance. In the past few days, Gu Xiangsi had been clinging to her all the time, as if she had forgotten her original intention of coming to the Azure Wings Sect. Liu Churan’s face naturally came to mind, and not wanting to see the second coming of Liu Churan, Ye Wenxin pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.

“Indeed, it’s time for me to cultivate.”

“I’ll go with you.” Su Mei finally stood up, as if every reminder she had spoken was just to give her and Ye Wenxin a chance to be alone.

“No, it’s more appropriate for you to stay with the team. You’ll have greater opportunity. If I’m here, this opportunity will never appear even in the next life.” Thinking of these peaceful past three days, and due to Ye Wenxin being stained by Hei Tong’s aura, the demonic beasts did not dare to get close, so nothing happened to Gu Aotian.

After much deliberation, Ye Wenxin felt that the issue lay with her. It was indeed time to execute other plans, to go see the beautiful mute, and find someone to test the effectiveness of the Spring Return Pill.

“But…” Su Mei had not anticipated Ye Wenxin’s refusal. Their fates were intertwined, both possessing Iceborn Constitution, holding each other’s secrets; they should be growing closer.

Yet now, Ye Wenxin harboured thoughts of ​​leaving, and these thoughts did not include her.

“These eight bottles of medicine are for you.” In Su Mei’s distraction, Ye Wenxin had already taken out the eight types of medicines she had refined. There were ten in one bottle, which was enough for her to use for a long time.

“These are too precious, I can’t accept it.” Su Mei immediately refused, unwilling to accept Ye Wenxin’s charity. If she was really a person who accepted charity, given her background, she would have simply found a prominent family to marry, rather than choosing the long and arduous path of cultivation.

“This is paid service. You have to tell them that I’m going to train alone, and as for Xiangsi, she has androphobia, so you’re the only dependable one in this team.” After saying this, Ye Wenxin continued forward without looking back. That firm back figure carried no hint of hesitation or confusion.

Su Mei could only watch her receding figure, offering silent blessings for Ye Wenxin to find her opportunities.

“Stay alive.”

“No, if it’s you, you’ll definitely survive.” Su Mei thought of Ye Wenxin’s action over the past few days. Even if all the people in their team died, Ye Wenxin would undoubtedly be the one who survived.

…

About three or four hours had passed, and Ye Wenxin had reached the center of the backwoods.

“Big Sister Mute.” It was quite helpless to say that she had only come to find the beautiful mute to give her the jewelry she bought before, yet she actually ended up getting lost in the backwoods.

She had been wandering aimlessly for quite some time now, not only did she fail to find the beautiful mute, she could not even locate Hei Tong. Ye Wenxin was even more helpless and had to change her plan. She decided to randomly find someone to experiment the Spring Return Pill and Heart-Cleansing Pill on. However, after walking a few steps, she unexpectedly stumbled upon the array.

Ye Wenxin cautiously approached and, upon touching it, a door appeared out of thin air. Without hesitation, she stepped inside and found herself in the cavern she had visited before.

Not long after walking ahead, Ye Wenxin saw a woman lying on the ground. Clad in white, with features that could enchant the world, it was none other than the beautiful mute.

“Damn it, Big Sister Mute, you’re in Qi Deviation again!” Ye Wenxin recognized the posture of the beautiful mute lying there, but she could not help feeling speechless. This was the third time she had seen the beautiful mute, and all three times she had witnessed her in Qi Deviation.
