Chapter 40: Chu Yuechan
"I apologize for pestering you but I couldn't help but notice an abundant amount of cold energy inside your body, it is also feeding on your profound energy, you must have been poisoned by some Ice attribute profound beast, right?" Meng asked with a slight bow when he discovered that this is Chu Yueli's big sister.
'?! So that's why he was staring at me?' The woman was surprised by his words but she also felt slightly guilty due to the way she treated him as she previously thought that he is going to pester her for another reason...
"How do you know that? Just from looking at me for 3 seconds? What is your relationship with my younger sister?" The woman immediately started questioning with a less icy voice.
"Whoa, that's quite a lot of questions, I am not really that good at answering women's questions regarding me. Anyway, to answer your first question, I am simply a little bit more sensitive to cold energy and I could instantly tell when your body hosts too much of it. Second, I have already seen Fairy Chu Yueli's amount of cold energy inside her body so I have a good idea of what amount of cold energy should your body be capable of controlling. Now when we look at my relationship with Fairy Chu Yueli...You could say that she is my benefactor and I owe her, that's why I stopped you." Meng replied with a humorous tone and a faint smile while putting his hands in front of him as if to tell her to slow down.
"...What is your name, boy?" The woman thought that what Meng said sounded logical aside from his special condition to sense cold energy so she decided to remain for a few more minutes and ask him a few more questions.
'He looks a bit familiar, maybe I will remember after hearing his name.'
"My name is Su Meng, Fairy..." Meng replied, indirectly asking for her name.
"Chu Yuechan. I remember my younger sister and her disciple mentioning some boy...It seems that's you." Chu Yuechan replied with a calm tone and she completely stopped releasing her cold aura. When she stopped releasing her cold aura, Meng decided to take a few steps back to give her more personal space as he knew how women from Frozen Cloud Asgard hate when men get too close to them. This act didn't go unnoticed even by Chu Yuechan who silently appreciated it.
"Eh? Really? Why would they mention someone like me? At that time I was just a cripple who couldn't cultivate, haha." Meng was slightly surprised that Xia Qingyue or Chu Yueli even mentioned him.
"Hmm, yet in the span of a few months, you were able to advance to the 3rd stage of the Nascent Profound Realm. That's not bad progress, to which sect do you belong to?" Chu Yuechan replied with a calm tone while observing Meng. Due to her being able to see through the concealment of his profound strength, Meng knew that she is probably at high stages of Sky Profound Realm.
"Fairy Chu Yuechan wouldn't know of it...Iron Spear Clan from New Moon City. But I can promise Fairy Chu Yuechan that she will hear that name a lot after Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. Anyway, that's not why I stopped you. I know that it might sound arrogant but would Fairy Chu want me to treat her and get rid of that ice poison?" Meng replied with a confident smile before asking her with an expressionless face once again so she couldn't read his intentions.
"...I won't even question the credibility of your words but do you want to treat my condition just because my younger sister helped you once? Be honest." Chu Yuechan frowned and asked.
'Ehh, she looks like she truly wants me to be honest, after all, this entire situation is too weird. I better be completely honest with her, at most I will have to find a different good source of Yin energy.' Meng thought that if he were to answer that he is doing it just because of Chu Yueli's influence, she would leave without hearing him out.
"I will be completely honest, I am in need of that potent ice poison inside you, both of us can benefit from this. I can treat you for free and I will still receive quite a lot from it. Please consider it..." Meng said with a serious expression before slightly bowing his head.
"...I will hear you out."
Chu Yuechan found his words a bit doubtful but she couldn't see anything inside his eye except for honesty. Although she couldn't understand how would Meng benefit from this, she was willing to hear him out. Both of them went inside one of the many inns scattered across the city and Meng rented the room for 5 days just in case.
"I warn you beforehand, if you are just wasting my time, I won't show you mercy even if you know my younger sister. But if you can help me, treat it as me owing you a favor, don't take it from my younger sister's account, I don't want to waste her own favor she can ask of you." Chu Yuechan said with a serious tone as she sat down on the bed and Meng locked the room with his back facing her.
"Alright but...I want to set up some rules before I get to treat your condition. I want you to swear that you will never mention anything you will see or what will happen inside this room, not even to your master or sister, no matter how much you trust that person, this treatment will remain between us." Meng said with a deadly serious voice with his back still facing her.
"...I have no problem keeping this secret but only if you won't try anything funny." Chu Yuechan replied with the same serious tone as she sensed that this must be a really important secret for Meng.
"I probably won't even have to touch you during the treatment but I want you to swear a blood oath that you won't attack me during the process and afterward as long as I won't touch you out of my own volition." Meng said which slightly surprised Chu Yuechan but she still agreed with his terms, this entire situation quite convinced her that Meng is capable of treating her.
"Good..." Meng muttered and finally turned towards her with his eyes changed to amber color. They were glowing so brightly that it shocked Chu Yuechan.
"What happened to your eyes?"
"Nothing it is my profound technique required to treat your condition" Meng replied with a calm tone while approaching the bed she was sitting on.
"So what should I do?" Chu Yuechan felt slightly uncomfortable with Meng being so close to the bed but she didn't let it be shown in her tone or expression.
"Just sit cross-legged on the bed and I will sit close next to you. I will start cultivating and you will do the same, don't worry about the poison and in case you don't trust me, you can wait a few minutes to feel if the ice poison inside your body is slowly weakening." Meng instructed her and she nodded her head, letting Meng sit down next to her. She wasn't worried at all because she would be free to attack him in case he would try to touch her.
Despite this trust between them being arranged by oaths, Chu Yuechan started slightly trusting Meng or more like Meng's character. She appreciated how he was cautious yet he was also considerate, respecting her personal space.
"Let's start!" Meng said before he swallowed Divine Phoenix Pellet which set his entire insides on fire, his blood was boiling but he quickly started feeling comfortable cold energy from next to him. He started greedily attracting it to balance the effects of the pellet.
Chu Yuechan had no idea what he consumed but when she saw him sweating a lot and his skin started becoming a bit red, she closed her eyes and started cultivating on her own, ignoring the ice poison inside her body. She started feeling the ice poison started slowly leaving her body as if it was attracted to something which caused her to abruptly open her eyes in shock.
'?! Is he transferring the poison from my body into his body?!!'
"Stop immediately! If you will absorb even more of that potent ice poison, you will die and not even that pellet you consumed will help you at that time!" Chu Yuechan quickly shouted and put her hand on his shoulder to interrupt him.
"Shut it, I am the doctor here, you are just a patient. Just focus on your task, I will focus on mine." Meng replied with closed eyes and a slightly irritated tone since he was in pain.
'4th stage of Nascent Profound Realm!'
'?! Did he just have a breakthrough?" Chu Yuechan was shocked but she chose to continue cultivating as Meng wanted even though he sounded a bit rude previously, she knew from his expression that he was just in pain.
Another 2 hours passed...
'5th stage of Nascent Profound Realm!'
After the whole day passed and the night arrived...
'7th stage of Nascent Profound Realm!'
*huff* *huff* "Done" Meng muttered with his hair drenched in sweat.
Chu Yuechan opened her eyes and started staring at Meng sitting next to her with wide-open eyes in shock.
'He just broke through the 4 stages in one day!!! I can't feel the ice poison inside my body anymore but for some reason...it feels a bit strange.' Chu Yuechan thought while trying to find the reason for her uneasiness.
"Huh?!" Meng turned at her and was staring straight at the location of her stomach with his bright amber eyes.
"What is it?" Chu Yuechan asked, thinking that he found whatever was making her feel strange.
"There is some kind of entity inside your body, it's constantly generating that ice poison...I can't get completely rid of it without touching you." Meng replied and Chu Yuechan finally realized the reason for her uneasiness.
"..." Chu Yuechan was just staring at him with her cold eyes not replying to his words.
"..." Meng stared back at her, not feeling bothered by her stare.
'...I-I have already touched him, haven't I?' Chu Yuechan just now recalled the situation when she tried to stop him from absorbing her ice poison.
"Where do you need to touch me?" Chu Yuechan felt disgusted by asking this.
"Stomach would be ideal but your lower back will do" Meng replied while looking straight into her cold eyes.
"Fine, if you will try anything else than that, I will kill you" Chu Yuechan already knew that Meng was capable of dealing with the ice poison so she said icily before turning her back at him, slowly taking the upper part of her attire off.
"?! What the hell are you doing?" Meng asked and when she looked back at him, she noticed him looking at her with a blank confused expression.
"...I thought you meant touching my skin" Chu Yuechan replied with the same blank expression.
'...This cliché misunderstanding makes me want to...' Meng thought as he averted his gaze to the side and he couldn't help but cringe at his current situation.
"What's up with that expression?!" Even though Chu Yuechan didn't want any man touching her, she was still proud of her looks and when she noticed how Meng felt extremely uncomfortable around her, she couldn't help but grow angry. After all, she should be the one feeling uncomfortable right now!
"Just turn around already before that entity produces even more of that ice poison!" Meng said in an irritated tone.
"Hmph!" Chu Yuechan did as he said. She couldn't help but feel extremely irritated around Meng but at the same time, she didn't mind his presence that much. She might feel irritated around him but at least she doesn't feel the same way as she does around the other men.
'Although I could make use of that entity inside her body, I should just treat her since I promised to do just that.' Meng thought as he pressed his middle and index finger of his right hand to Chu Yuechan's lower back.
