Chapter 37: My lover is my disciple!

Of all his brothers, he most wanted to get rid of Xie Qing, who had almost equal power with him. Since his birth mother was Xie Meiling, he had impressive chances of success."According to my father, she managed to hide, but very soon she should be caught. But I suspect that he will hardly be able to do anything," Xie Hui thought and angrily rubbed his nose: "Xie Meiling has not been holding my father on a leash for nothing. If it weren't for the fact that with the help of some people, I was able to make him believe in himself, he would not have taken such a step." seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xie Hai was a decent family head, but he was too afraid of his wife, Xie Meilin. Their relationship was quite unusual—not the best, but not the worst either.

After their first wedding night, Xie Meiling became pregnant and had to step back from family affairs. Her pregnancy lasted for five years, an extremely abnormal duration.

During this time, Xie Hai took advantage and partially seized control, leading to a cold atmosphere in their relationship

On the one hand, the Xie Meiling faction was glad that the true heir was finally born, but upon learning of his talent... many were disappointed. This also affected her power.

And it was at this moment that Xie Hui, who was the son of Xie Hai's brother, persuaded the family head to use one of the most terrible types of poison... The Venom of the Cursed Dragon.

...although there was the grandiose name "dragon," in reality, it was the venom of a poisonous lizard that stood out because the venom acted over time. With the addition of certain components, the venom became stronger and even more hidden.

All that remained was to bribe some of the maids in charge of Xie Meiling's food, and the deed was done. Unfortunately, when she was already at death's door, a rescue item that had been passed down through the Xie family for generations took effect.

Thus, her trail was lost.

"Well, anyway, I've already warmed up a place for myself. I doubt that among my father's and other uncles' offspring, there is anyone more talented than me... except perhaps the daughter of the first elder, Xie Yu."

Xie Yu... She was the youngest among the offspring of the Xie family. In just a year, she would turn eighteen, marking the beginning of the war for the heir. She was an important trigger.

Her talent was even higher than that of Xie Hui. She was a dangerous opponent, and Xie Hui feared her.

"Moreover, this madwoman is close to Xie Qing. What if she wants to help him?" thought Xie Hui, narrowing his eyes: "Hmph... I can't put spies on her and quietly kill her because her status is too sensitive. Now is not the time to quarrel with the elders."

While clouds gathered over the clouds, Xie Qing wiped his hands and began to look at his rewards.

The first was a token in the shape of a pentagon. It had a dragon engraving on it and that was all. But the description was something with something...

[Tender Dragon Token] | [Rank: Elite] | [Description: Long ago, there was a dragon... the most ordinary-looking one. His scales were crystal clear, white. All the female dragons admired him and... he had a harem of a thousand dragonesses! Can you imagine?

A thousand! His balls must have been the size of a planet! One way or another, he invented this item to mark his main wives and track their location. Also, a spiritual connection is created that helps communicate, even if you are somewhere in the ass of the world. +5% to spiritual protection of mark targets] | [0/5]

"The description is absurd again... but the effects are good," muttered Xie Qing with sparkling eyes.

Thus, he could establish two-way communication between himself and his partners, which would help in dangerous situations! Moreover, his partners would receive a bonus for protection.

"By the way, I wonder who this dragon brother is? I feel like we'll get along" thought Xie Qing, feeling admiration for the iron eggs of his brother in interest.

However, his attention was soon drawn to another function. It was something like an online store.

"Hm? Currency... spiritual stones?!"

Xie Qing inhaled the cold air. How could he not know what this was? Spiritual Stones were the main currency in the world of cultivators, and they were very valuable.

1 Spiritual Stone was worth 10,000 Huang. And the items in the store, in most cases, started at 10! That was 100,000 Huang!

"My pockets are crying... I don't even have enough money for this," thought Xie Qing and sighed, but the items in the store motivated him.

There were not only protective items and the like but there were even swords and armor. Moreover....

[Minor Talent Enhancement] | [Price: 25 Spiritual Stones] | [Description: Increases the cultivator's talent. For example, a Mortal lower-level talent becomes a Mortal upper-level talent]

[Major Talent Enhancement] | [Price: 250 Spiritual Stones] | [Description: Increases talent by one realm. That is, from Mortal level to Earthly]

"Th-this..."

Xie Qing shuddered. He couldn't help but imagine what would happen if he used this on himself! Damn it, he would become a monster!

"Although, I doubt there is a talent stronger than mine right now. I have a Divine-level, peak talent. So this will be more useful for the Master."

This was a good thing. If he planned to develop his family to increase his power and live with a song, he needed to first attract talents. And with such items... he could simply create talents!

"Damn, that's a good idea! If I also find an item that will allow me to restrict all these talents, it will be even better!"

Ding!

[Oath Flame] | [Price: 25,000 Spiritual Stones] | [Description: A special type of technique that affects the soul and allows you to make a contract between souls. The voiced conditions will be fixed at a deep level, and the one who violates the contract will be destroyed by the soul]

"Oh... oh... 250,000,000 Huang, or I need to find a vein of spiritual stones, otherwise collecting such an amount will be as difficult as finding a devilish cultivator without spikes on his ass..."

All the items in the store were amazing. But they were expensive! The only conclusion: seduce a rich milf!

"Khe... the... well, if I become a strong cultivator, then people who want to give me money in exchange for services will come to me like a river. And who am I to refuse?" thought Xie Qing with a smile.

He immediately headed to his room to start cultivation. The acquisition of the Store function excited him.

Xu Mei yawned, looking at the indifferent Zhang Mei, who was filling out some papers. She tiredly said,

"Aren't you tired of these papers? That's why I handed over my powers to my disciple."

"Compared to you, I am more responsible. I was personally given the position of sect master by my Master, and I am obliged to take care of the sect until I realize that it is time to give time to the young," Zhang Mei indifferently replied, spreading out the papers on the table.

"I don't understand you... We are already over a thousand years old, and you are still chasing after things like work. It's time to rest finally," said Xu Mei, snorting. She clenched her hands to her chest and arrogantly said, "You haven't experienced a man's embrace yet?"

"...How is that even related to our conversation?"

Zhang Mei's tone cooled. This was her weak spot, as most men were not interested in her for some reason, and those who were interested were afraid of her! She was unhappy!

"Besides," Zhang Mei began, not giving in to Xu Mei, "you are still a virgin. So don't accuse me."

"Hmhmhm... that's debatable..." Xu Mei said in a mysterious tone and smiled.

"Eh?"

Zhang Mei was distracted from the papers and looked in shock at Xu Mei's mischievous face, then narrowed her eyes and said,

"You're lying. Who would be crazy enough to fall in love with you? The chance of that is 0.00001%."

Xu Mei lost her voice. Sometimes it seemed to her that this woman was too sharp-tongued. She clenched her teeth and shouted,

"I'm not lying! I have someone!"

"Hmph! Maybe you rented a gigolo? That's popular among perverts now," Zhang Mei said with disgust.

"Be-be-be. Are you envious, that's why you're making up such nonsense. Oh, poor virgin Zhang Mei."

"..."

The head of the Starry Stream Sect clenched her fists and barely restrained herself from hitting Xu Mei in the face. She was annoyed.

Knowing Xu Mei's character, she would never go for such a step as a gigolo. Most likely, this woman had someone close to her heart.

Zhang Mei secretly envied her.

"Why does such a carefree and useless woman like you have a man, and I don't? I even started taking care of my appearance, but they ran away from me as if I'm some kind of monster," Zhang Mei thought, but her face was still indifferent.

...her status and cultivation level, in general, affected such behavior in men. No one had such steel balls to dare to try to hit on such an unusual person as the head of the Starry Stream Sect.

Nevertheless, Zhang Mei was curious about who this madman was.

"So who became your partner?" she asked, taking a cup of tea and starting to drink.

"Hm? It's my disciple..."

"Pfffffft!"

"..."

Xu Mei used Qi to cover her body with protection to hide from the sudden rain of tea. She angrily looked at Zhang Mei, who began to cough. She looked as if she had seen her great-grandmother.

"Kha... kha... what the hell did you say?"
