Chapter 630: Find You Here

The alarm quieted. Once again, silence cloaked the yin-filled valley. Hui held his breath, looking up at the silhouettes in the clouds above him. Maybe maybe I was wrong. Maybe Tseng Caihong, er, is trying a voice technique!

Voice stepped out of the shadow, Jizhi Zhimei one step behind her. Jizhi Zhimei looked Hui up and down. She glanced at Voice. Watching her mistress, Voice chuckled. Hmm. How strange, how strange indeed, to rush here after our encounter mere moments ago

Ha I guess it was too much to hope for. Hui shook his head internally.

My my apologies, Senior. When I passed out in the lunch room, Tseng Caihong took something precious to me. I meant to draw her attention, not Seniors, Hui confessed, quickly kowtowing to Jizhi Zhimei.

Jizhi Zhimei drew closer. She flew down before him, bringing her face even with his. Cool, beautiful hands touched his face, turning it up to face her. She ran a hand through his hair, gently adjusting it.

Er hello? Im a human being, Senior, not a pet

Youre resistant to my charm, arent you? Jizhi Zhimei said suddenly.

Hui stiffened. He wobbled in place and averted his eyes, quickly sending his qi into disarray. Sseniors voice is so

Such cheap acting. Theres no use pretending. I can see right through you. She paused. Not literally, as Tseng Caihong can. But metaphorically.

Hesitating a moment, Hui quickly straightened up. If shes seen through me, continuing to pretend will only piss her off. I know Id usually continue to pretend until I died, but in this situation well, first off, if I die too often around her, she might start to question my bloodline explanation. Secondly, I need to stay in a positive situation as the hostage, valuable enough that she doesnt find the need to take another hostage, not so obnoxious that she outright destroys me.

Besides, Im pretty sure shes actually seen through me, this second time. She probably suspected something the first time well, she is a near-Immortal level existence. Its better to fess up my immunity and let her consider me a trustworthy disciple with a strange resistance, than for her to know that Im lying to her and start looking for my lying techniques, expecting me to fake and lie my way around.

Hui looked at the floor. He kicked the chain, pretending to be embarrassed. Ah its true. Well, in the Southern Sect Conference, the Bai Clan are already masters of charm techniques. I grew up around Bai Clan cultivators. Naturally, I have some small resistance.

Eh, wait. But this is my clone. My real body Hui glanced over his shoulder, then shrugged. Its true that the yin is a poison, but a slow one. I should be fine sitting in the yin for a while. At least until the next practical lesson! Besides, while my bodys sitting here, I can always send my soul back to my body and work on detangling this barrier formation once more! Detangling the barrier, and strengthening the resentment demons both!

Hmm, though I think I should swap my clone and my real body as soon as possible. Shell notice eventually. Its better to do it now, rather than later.

Hui abruptly released Jizhi Zhimeis hand and stumbled backward. Clumsily, he slipped backward a few steps, tripping the whole way as his heel hit each individual arm that made up the resentment demon, then fell off the resentment demon entirely.

Jizhi Zhimei stared. Her brows furrowed. How is even a second-realm cultivator this clumsy?

A jade in the rough, no doubt, Voice commented dryly.

At the base of the resentment demon, the clone burrowed into the ground, returning to its original state as a seed. Hui opened his eyes and stood, quickly climbing back up the chains to Jizhi Zhimeis side.

My my apologies, Senior. Shall we go? he asked, bowing to her.

Jizhi Zhimei nodded. She drew out a bronze mirror and tossed it to the ground. As it dropped, it grew large, until it was large enough for the three of them to stand on. Lets go.

Hui climbed onto the mirror, nodding as he did so. A mirror? What a suitable item for Senior! Not only does it reflect her beauty and allow her to make herself even more beautiful, but also, it weaponizes her beauty! Aside from this small cultivator, everyone in this world loses their minds when they see her. If she sets up a mirror array, she instantly wins, unless her opponent is blind!

Well, if they know to look away, they can dodge the technique, too. Its not as if its impossible to dodge. But still, its an excellent weapon for a beauty cultivator!

Leaving the clone behind, Hui flew out of the yin valley with Jizhi Zhimei and Voice. He glanced over his shoulder just once, looking at the resentment demons and the clone hidden amongst them. Just wait. Ill figure out how to free you yet!

But until then until then, its time to become a charm cultivator!
