Chapter 218: A Beating
Tang Feier looked at Hui, then at her fist, then at Hui again. Suddenly, her eyes glittered. Nodding to herself, she backed away. So I suppose thats all there is to Starbound Sect! All-Heavens Sect is simply too powerful for anyone from Starbound Sect to stand up to them at novelhall.com
Hui scoffed silently. Elder Sister, you truly think too highly of this small cultivator. Tell anyone from Starbound Sect that you beat Weiheng Hui. Theyll laugh in your face! Beating me isnt a blow to the pride of the sect; the opposite! If you couldnt beat me, it would be All-Heavens Sect that had no face left!
Tang Feier glanced at him a few more times as she backed away. Hmm, its too bad Starbound Sect is so pitiful and weak. It seems Ive truly overestimated the sect.
Im sure those would be fighting words for most Starbound Sect disciples, but this small disciple has always been pitiful and weak! Your words mean nothing!
She sighed deeply. Oh well, I suppose I have to go fight Li Xiang instead
Please! Its what Ive been telling you this whole time! Li Xiang is much more powerful than this small cultivator. Shes more worthy of facing you in a fight than me!
Tang Feier glanced at Hui. Surely no true man would let a weak woman step in for him?
Hmph! Equality of the sexes! This small cultivator has the courage to let any number of women step in for him! Bai Xue, Li Xiang, Bai Jingwen and the lotus beast, Jin Xian and Fang Hua, the list goes on! If I were to claim to be the second most willing to see women as my equals on the field of battle, who could claim to be first?
Or could it be its too shameful for you to face a small girl like me? Ill warn you, Ive destroyed men dozens of times your size!
Hui released his crystallization technique, then swapped into the plant technique and simultaneously stepped out of the snake skin, shedding the external injuries with the skin and healing the internal injuries with the plant technique. Hui stretched. Feels good.
He glanced around the peak, then sighed. I cant stay here anymore. That Tang Feier is too dangerous. Theres no way someone that persistent will give up so easily. Shell be back, no doubt. Luckily, Ive already restocked my talismans! I could cultivate more life qi, but then again, Mount Mu isnt going anywhere. Its time to do a few errands around the sect. After all, if Im on the move and in disguise, itll be harder for that dangerous woman to find me.
Hui stepped forward, activating the snakeskin technique. A heroic, handsome man with a ponytail, scholarly green robes, and a yellow fan replaced Hui. A high collar hid Zhubi from sight. Hui flourished the fan, then snapped it shut in his hand. Interesting. I can use this technique to make small props, too! Wonderful, wonderful.
Tapping the fan in his palm, he strode down the mountain. Who should I visit first?
Zhubi shifted around his neck, settling into a more comfortable position. Hui raised his eyebrows. I havent been to Xixing yet, and theres still the matter of Zhubi sleeping all the time to consider. Obviously, my first stop should be Xixing!
Besides, Sis Mei and Li Xiang both live on Starbound Peak. A battle maniac like that Tang Feier would absolutely love Starbound Peak, swarming with sword cultivators as it is! And she said she was going to fight Li Xiang, too. If I want to avoid Tang Feier, Ill have to stay away from Starbound Peak for a while! Or at least ensure Im well-disguised enough she cant recognize me.
Hui reached the bottom of the peak and paused for a moment, still a few feet within the boundaries of Unrivaled Under Heavens Peaks barriers. Down below, a group of male and female cultivators carried a load of laundry past, unaware of Hui, hidden in the forest above. Quietly, he smiled to himself, reminiscing.
If it hadnt been for the laundry that day, Li Xiang and I may have never crossed paths. To think, my life was changed forever by a load of laundry
Chatting happily, the group of cultivators vanished into the distance, never aware of Hui. Hui waited until they were long gone to descend the mountain, not wanting to interrupt their afternoon. Silent as a ghost, he glided over the crossroads and stepped toward Cauldron Peak.
