章 2: An Exciting Blessing
Shen's P.O.V
"If I may so ask of Master Zhao, please do not tell anyone about my current tier."
"Such power should not be kept, my disciple." I gave Master Zhao a sheepish smile.
"That old hag won't let me go if I go and about telling everyone, Master Zhao. I shamelessly ask this of you." I kneel down, submissing to him with a plead.
"I am in no position to tell you anymore of what you should do. I only am your mothers' eyes and ears."
No one in all the nations here know who my parents are and that I am the offspring. Only Master Zhao knows for Master Zhao was once under my mother's wing.
"I express great gratitude, Master Zhao."
"Stand up, child." I stand up per instruction and grinned all wide.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
Master Zhao gestured for me to open the old, rustic door. As I was ready to greet my Senior Sister, I had not done so. My heart started beating fast and my lips curved into a big smile.
"Lady Chen," her expression remained blank.
"Ah, you must be my junior sister." I bow down, showing respect to her bod- to her status and age.
"Pardon my impulsiveness but can I just call you Lady Chen?" her face still void of emotion, tilted to the side.
"If you insist, but I do not know your name." my grin grows wider as second passes by.
"Shen," she waited for an addition, "just Shen, Lady Chen."
"Chen Qingshan, Junior Shen." I bow to her and smiled wide.
A beautiful name for a beautiful maiden. I must act now to make her mine.
But goodness! To think that Lady Chen and I clashed bodies a while back! My thoughts are now filled with impure ones. No! I must stay calm.
"Ah, you're barricading the door again," Master Zhao approaches us and opens the door wider for Lady Chen to come in.
"Greetings, Master Zhao."
The both of them got acquainted with each other as I helplessly stare invisibly at Lady Chen Qingshan. Now that I get to have a closer look, her hair must be a resemblance of her power. White. Goodness heavens! Help me tame myself before I hungrily devour such a beautiful maiden!
I gulp at the thought.
"As for your first training, you two ought to retrieve your badges at Yingxiong Hall. Present the sapphire stones and the staffs will give you your designated uniforms."
What are they thinking? Letting us come here and then let us retrieve the badges. Can't we just do them tomorrow? But, if it means that I'm going to be alone with Lady Chen, then so be it.
"Lady Chen, Lady Chen," I call her out like a little kid, wanting some attention.
"Junior Shen," she replies coldly without even sparing me a glance.
"You passed with flying colors, did you not?"
"I merely did my best."
"But I've heard people murmuring things about you being so good." I couldn't hide my excitement any longer. This beauty is in such close distance with me.
"Let us not judge, Junior Shen."
"Hmm," I hummed in response, trying to suppress my excitement which was already spilt.
When we arrived, people kept looking at Lady Chen admiringly. As for me, my nose was so long as I am so proud. I followed Lady Chen until we were inside Yingxiong Hall. We entered a hidden door, only visible to those who have stones, at the left of the sword exhibit.
Before entering the closed room, I saw Lady Chen steal a glance at the sword before knocking. When we are asked to show our stones, they performed a boring ritual and then ta-da! We have our uniforms and our badges, which are the stones that we acquired.
"Using powers here, the Island of Grounds, is not prohibited. Using powers here means letting the new cultivators accent on their focus on using powers unless if used negatively, the cultivator shall receive severe punishment. Now, on your way as you have yet to take the oath for your Master. "
Lady Chen summoned the teleportation seal and extended her hand for me to take. I grab her hand, containing my erupting stomach, and we entered the array.
We enter the manor and found Master Zhao combing his long beard. Lady Chen and I look at each other and took a step forward to where Master Zhao was at.
Master Zhao brings his sapphire stone out and our stones float to the air. I stare at it in amaze. I may be high-rank but I do not know any of this shit. I have been secluded all my life. That must be the reason why I like women, as I am living with women only. Well, that's just part of the reason, I guess.
I lool at Lady Chen and she was still indifferent. Wow, so cold. Oddly enough, I find it alluring and seducing. Her stare though. Gah. I'm blushing.
"I, Master Zhao, ranked Legendary I, shall guide you to your best suited cultivation with a blood oath."
My sapphire stone suddenly stops floating and just in time, I had caught it before it landed on the wooden floor. Lady Chen looks at me with confusion.
Quick! Find an excuse!
"Oh, I, uh, I took the oath before Lady Chen came in a while back."
Lady Chen only hummed in response and redirected her attention to her stone. I heaved a sigh. I look toward Master Zhao and he had a bead of sweat trickling on his forehead to his neck.
That was close. I had forgotten that a blood oath only works if you're under your master's tier. How foolish! I cursed myself under my breath and shake my head, directing my attention to Lady Chen who had just pricked her thumb.
A drop of blood was all it takes as the sapphire stone caught the blood before it dropped on the wooden pavement. The sapphire stone shone brightly as if it's the sun itself. Due to the brightness, I had closed my eyes. When the light was no more, I turned my attention back to Master Zhao who had clapped once, signaling that the oath has now ended magnificently.
"Now, you are officially under my wing."
"What are we going to do, Master Zhao?"
"Hah, glad you asked. As filial disciples, you ought to change into your uniforms as I have a list of things that I have planned for you to do. Go,"
Unluckily, me and Lady Chen have separate rooms to change our clothes into. Darn luck. I flicked my tongue and my fingers, and ta-da! I'm now in my uniform. I open the large wooden door and went to meet Master Zhao.
He nods while I just smile. Ooh, cozy. The white silky fabric had hidden my legs and arms. I was happy that they gave me a man's type of clothing. Well, since I really look manly. I have short hair and as tall as Lady Chen.
"Lady Chen is taking quite a time,"
"Sorry for being slow, Master, but isn't this too fitting?"
Lady Chen emerged from the corner and what I saw almost made my eyes bulge. Her upper clothing is hugging so tightly on her body, complimenting her curvy body and her big breasts. Her breasts were more shapely than before.
Oh, heavenly gods! I thank you!
Lady Chen's face portrayed of that an embarrassed girl. Her cheeks up to her ears were red. Such redness in such a pale and creamy skin should be prohibited! She should be a goddess herself!
"Child, that is a great fit!"
Me and Master Zhao see eye-to-eye when it comes to women. Though Master Zhao is of high status, he objects the thought of marriage. Responsibility was not his thing. He prefers a harem which he did not acquire thus gave up. Such a sad story. Tsk tsk.
I smiled more when Lady Chen sighed, giving up. When Lady Chen was feeling confident, Master Zhao gave us tasks to do for today. Guess what the tasks are? Cleaning the roofs. I still remember his excuse,
"Dear disciples, the roof is slippery and quite alive. These will help you focus more on your agility. Remember, concentrate your qi."
I sighed.
"Is something the matter, Junior Shen?"
"Oh, no, not at all, Lady Chen. I just did not understand when he said that the roof is quite alive."
Lady Chen hummed in response and jumped to the roof. I pouted a bit but nonetheless did the same. As soon as I step foot on the roof, it as if did something to make it really slippery, and I fell butt first on the hard ground.
Lady Chen came down as soon as she saw me slip. She kneels down and checks on me.
"Are you alright, Junior Shen?"
I groan as I softly massage my butt. When she suddenly try to reach out to my butt to caress it, I guess, we made eye contact. When she realized what she was doing, out of pure intentions obviously, her face reddened.
"M-my apologies, I do not mean any lewd intentions." she coughs, regaining composure.
I smile at Lady Chen before standing up and dusting my butt off of dirt. She examines me again before sighing in relief.
"I can clean-"
"Lady Chen should not worry about Junior Shen! I grew up in the wild!" I gave her my toothy grin.
Not that I think about it, even her worried state did she not change her blank expression. Ah, the cold Lady Chen is great but wah, should such a change in her expression would happen and it being directed at me, I shall perish with happiness.
"Don't push yourself too hard, Junior Shen."
"Mhmm!"
We tried again and again, mostly me but me and Lady Chen are a team so we come in a pack. If this was what Master Zhao meant, then I applause him.
Lady Chen, when caught off balance, her breasts would bound every now and then, making my eyes jiggle with them. If I don't watch myself, I might as well drool.
When we had managed to finish the first task of the day, I suggested a break before continuing.
"We must hurry if we want to get back before dark."
"But, Lady Chen, that roof was alive! My butt is still sore from landing on it for so many times!"
"I shall finish the tasks as you get well-"
"Eh, eh. I'll come with you. Lady Chen is a beauty, one might mistake you as someone easy."
"I can take care of myself." I shake my head,
"Tsk tsk. That's what I'm afraid of, Lady Chen. Those who prey on you might be the ones being preyed on."
She must've not understood it because she looked down, looking like a lost beautiful child. I giggle to myself. She's still wearing that blank expression though.
"Let's go, Lady Chen, before it gets dark."
I push her back from behind lightly for us to get going. While we work on the tasks, I couldn't refrain myself from stealing glances at Lady Chen. Even when she's just picking Silver Tier herbs, she still looks graceful.
As I've heard, the Chen Family has a great history. Lady Chen should've been married off somewhere but she isn't and she's here. Is there a story behind her coming to cultivate? Or was she just so exceptionally talented that her cultivation skills are weighing more than her noble status?
I could not guess a noble family's way of thinking. I live a very different life but I still manage to analyze other people's lives without much help. Lady Chen though is as cold as ice, like her powers.
"If I may so shamelessly ask, Lady Chen, I do not know of what age are you."
"I am already eighteen." oh! Surely she's still beautiful and very loveable.
"I will be sixteen this year, Lady Chen." Lady Chen turns to my way and looks at me.
"When is your birthday?"
"Oh, I don't have one." I grinned.
Lady Chen gets up and moves slowly to approach me. She places a hand on my forehead to check if I was okay. The sudden closeness of our faces made me want to jump on Lady Chen.
HEY! KEEP CALM!
"You are not ill."
"I say no lies, Lady Chen."
"How come one does not have a birthday?"
"It just is, Lady Chen."
Lady Chen decided to not pry any more as we are already done with the tasks for the day. Lady Chen told me that we should head back since it's already dark out. Unfortunately, our topic regarding birthdays delayed us more than it should.
"Come, the road is quite tricky at night."
"Why is that, Lady Chen?"
"The Island of Grounds is richer than the main land with not only food but with rare high-ranked herbs. If a thief were to come at night, it could be impossible to navigate."
"Oh, but what about us?"
I am taking this role so far that I think I do not have any knowledge of any of this. But, as I ask, Lady Chen answers with such a delicate voice despite her cold expression.
"Our stones keep us from the maze-like spell but it does not mean that we are completely immune. We can see which way to take upon differentiating each path from the other. In the eyes and ears of the thief, it will all look and sound the same."
Lady Chen was quite educated. And with that, we arrived.
