Chapter 638: Trapped! Part 3

The mimic was struggling whether or not to let these scary demonic beasts out or not. It had never thought in its life that its prey would be so smart. All the prey before saw the spirit spring and tried to take it. But once it closed its mouth, they would begin to panic and try to force their way out without thinking of anything else, but this time it seemed to have bitten off more than it could chew. The prey was way too calm! They were not panicking at all! 

"Kana over here!" Ako called out as she found a spot in the rocks that seemed to be thinner than the rest.  "I think we can break this part of the wall down."

"Perfect timing. I was just starting to get hungry." Kana came running over with a skip in her step. She was excited to try this new kind of meat!

"Wait!" A howl came from beneath them. The mimic could no longer risk it! It only ate other things it did not wish to be eaten! It could tell that one of them was extremely excited about eating it! While it could defend itself on the outside, on the inside, it was defenseless!

Kana's lips curled up. She had a feeling that this was a demonic beast of a high rank, so it should have been able to speak and understand what was going on. One can always hear what is inside one's mouth. Since they were inside the mimic's mouth, it would definitely hear what was going on inside.

"Please do not try to eat me! I taste horrible! I will let you go!" The mimic pleaded. It never in its long life thought that it would one day need to beg for its prey not to eat it. But now, it had no choice. It was scared that even if it opened its mouth, they would still try to break down the wall and start taking bites out of it.

"Are you sure you taste horrible?" Kana asked, acting as if she was unsure if she should give up this chance. 

"Yes! Yes! I taste like rotten meat. You do not want to eat me. As compensation for trapping you inside my mouth, I will fill the spirit spring back up…" The mimic offered. It did not mind losing some cultivation if it meant being able to not be eaten! It had originally sucked the spring into itself, so it would only need to spit it back up.

"Hmmm… Alright, but do not open your mouth yet. We do not wish to leave until we have cultivated in the spirit spring for a while." Hearing that the spirit spring could be filled back up, Kana would not miss this chance to use it to cultivate. She also wanted Ako to take some time to cultivate as well.

"Yes, of course…" The mimic was very submissive. It knew if it were to keep its mouth open, there was a chance to attract more prey but… It could not feel a single demonic beast in its range, so it could only submit. 

Like magic, the spirit spring that was once dry was now filled to the brim once more. The air was quickly saturated with spiritual qi. Kana took off her clothes and pulled on Ako's hand: "Come on. We will not get a chance to cultivate in such a place like this very often. So let's make the best of it."

"Master, you should use it all for yourself. A lowly slime like m… Owuch! Master!?" Ako rubbed her head and looked at Kana with a wronged expression. 

Kana chuckled and shook her head. "You will join me. I will share what I can. You are now my spirit beast who is contracted to me. I will not treat you like a slave. We can now be considered family, so if I get good things, so do you."  Kana then pulled Ako with her and got into the spirit spring. Ako was still at a loss of what to do, but when she was forced to sit, she obediently started cultivating. The two girls sat side by side while the little worm sat at the edge of the spirit spring, looking in the opposite direction as it whispered: "Shameless women! I may be a caterpillar, but I am still male!" 

While Kana was cultivating inside the spirit spring with Ako, Liu Na was undergoing a painful experience as thousands of years of knowledge were flowing into her mind. As soon as she sat on the holy maidens throne, a light priced the middle of her brow, and all the experiences and knowledge that the holy maiden had was injected into her head. Although it was painful, she did not care. She clenched the armrest of the throne and gritted her teeth. She was gaining such available knowledge that she would never want to give it up. 

"Very good." The holy maiden was very impressed with Liu Na's will to preserve. She did not waste her energy on a frail bunny. She found a girl who would eventually soar to the top of this mainland. 

A few days passed when Liu Na felt the pain in her mind ease. She slowly opened her eyes. As she did, a flash of golden light streaked across them. Her demeanor also seemed to change. Her once unknowledgeable gaze was now that of someone who had lived thousands of years. The knowledge she gained from this inheritance was something young cultivators could only dream of. It was like living two lives but not.  "You really hung on. You did not disappoint. It seems you were able to absorb one hundred percent of my inheritance. Come sit. I will not teach you my cultivation method." 

Liu Na nodded and stood up and walked to the middle of the room to sit down. She then gave the holy maiden all her attention. Seeing Liu Na's dedication made the holy maiden smile even more. Her one and only disciple was very good indeed. "I cultivated two different cultivation methods. One was for spiritual qi while the other tempered the body. We will start with the body tempering cultivation method. First you will…"
