1048 Words
Jin Xuan Meng has collected all Ren Xieye Grass around Da Long Mountain. She secretly ordered mortals to find it and rewarded them with the spirit crystals Zi Yingjun gave. Fortunately, Jin Xuan Pei is too busy to know what she have been doing. Almost three days had passed, she have filled her space ring. Jin Xuan Meng waited for her class to be finished. She quickly stood up when the teacher allowed them to leave.
"Master Meng!" just then, a female classmate of her rushed towards her seat. Jin Xuan Meng's face turned pale beneath the mask. The young girl is no other than one of her admirers, Jin Lixing. "Master Meng, do you have enough time for tonight? I thought of having a small gathering tonight in the female dorm. We will surely be glad if you come along with the other young masters."
"Miss Lixing, men are not allowed to step into the female dorm." she felt awful being a boy. Everyone thought she's amazing and a lot of girls admires her but she is not after their admiration. She wants to prove she is not cursed or anything. Jin Xuan Meng didn't even bid farewell to Jin Lixing and left the academy in hurry.
Her steps halted once she arrived in front of a familiar meadow outside Jin Clan. The meadow have few ruined tombs. A small tomb is separated from the others with a roughly carved character 'xiao' on it. Jin Xuan Meng strode towards the tomb. She knelt down and sighed.
"Brother Meng, I completely stole your identity. This glory should have been yours but you let me have it instead. However..." Jin Xuan Meng clenched her fists. She sighed once more in melancholy. "Im not sure until when can I keep this up. Brother Pei is also worried, Zi Yingjun knew our secret. Should I or should I not cut his happiness below the belt in return?"
Zi Yingjun sneezed while cultivating. He rubbed his nose with a frown. Who could be talking behind his back? It interrupted his cultivation!
"Master, this is not good. If you make a breakthrough in the fifth rank, your tribulation will come quickly. Foundation Building requires your-"
"I know." he spoke before Sui Shen can even finish. Zi Yingjun had thought of that once. Foundation Building is risky. He needs to pass a tribulation and accept anything that harms him in order to convert it as his foundation for the immortal realms. A tribulation is easy to find or see because of the great concentration of heaven's will and chaos that it can cause. For now, he should cast aside the inheritance from Zi Xian.
Sui Shen pouted in dismay. He dared to stop her in speaking, not even the Celestial Death cultivator who brought her in this world was able to speak to her rudely. Suddenly, they heard a tapping sound outside. Zi Yingjun opened the door to see a figure in yellow robes walking freely from the corridor. Its fortunate everyone are asleep in the dorm or that person might get discovered for trespassing.
"Here are the grasses." Jin Xuan Meng's space ring brightened and his whole room was filled with red leaves. Zi Yingjun can tell she's purposely getting back on him.
"You can go now." Zi Yingjun waved his hand where he also kept a space ring. Since Merchant Fu Mi had a good deal with him, he was able to get himself a space ring. The red grasses disappeared in a second but Jin Xuan Meng refused to leave.
"Antidote. For the next one." she opened her palm in demand. Zi Yingjun twisted the space ring in silence then held the doorknob.
"I'll consider after you get less smarter or more clever." his eyelashes lowered to keep his eyes haughty against her arrogance. Zi Yingjun gave one last smile and closed the door with a bang. This nearly made her jump when she heard groans of frustrated sleepy young masters.
"Who did that?!"
"Damn! Where did that noise came from?"
"I'll make sure to let him pay!"
All the doors around the corridor opened as young masters came out. Jin Xuan Meng sighed in relief, she hid herself on time and reached the back garden. Her face turned grim underneath her mask for Zi Yingjun's scheming abilities. He nearly trapped her there!
"Who's inside this room? Come out!" one daring young master banged on Zi Yingjun's room. The door opened to reveal his stoic face and everyone's complexion turned extremely pale.
"What?" he asked with a monotonous tone as if nothing in this world can move his interest.
"N-nothing."
"Tch. Making loud noises late at night. Did your parents even raised you well?" Zi Yingjun snorted and closed the door with another forceful thud.
They all looked at each other in wonder. Wasn't it Zi Yingjun who first did it? Wasn't it him who wasn't raised well? How shameless!
"Master..." Sui Shen formed a wry smile on her face once Zi Yingjun slumped on his bed.
"What? As an elder, I can at least lecture them." Zi Yingjun closed his eyes to rest.
The caravan was set to leave few days later. Zi Yingjun finished creating another deception pill and change his appearance to a girl. He looked at himself on the full-sized mirror without even smiling. His cute round face doesn't match how cold he looks.
"Master, should you at least smile? Its even better to look at." Sui Shen cant help but sigh. She didn't expect a female Zi Yingjun would be this adorable.
"Later." he looked down on his clothes that are hanging loosely on his petite feminine body. Zi Yingjun controlled his qi and designed a new dress. "Sui Shen, can you change my eye color?"
"But Master, if I do that, it might affect your personality." she tilted her head and went in front of him.
"Its fine. Sovereign Hei is here to help." Zi Yingjun smiled haughtily and a black shadow appeared behind him with a devious grin.
"Alright then." Sui Shen waved her hand. His eyes turned yellow right away. They both knew her current qi can affect his demonic temperament so Sovereign Hei is sticking around to take off that side effect.
