Extra Chapter.Tales of the Past (Part 2)

===

The glory of Xu Mei over the past year began to grow and spread throughout the cultivation world. Even the legendary Golden Empress was helpless against her.

Although she was a genius, her character was too... unstable. She had more than a hundred beatings on her account. And that was only for a week.

Many sect leaders and family heads were dissatisfied, but they were forced to warn their offspring not to argue and conflict with this woman, and especially attention was paid to men.

Due to her personality and beauty, Xu Mei, of course, attracted a lot of attention, many young lords wanted to win her favor, and many of them eagerly worked towards it.

However, the girl remained cold, and no one had yet been able to win her favor. On the contrary, many of the persistent suitors were thanked with a kick in the face, breaking many noses.

There were many attempts to avenge her or put her in her place, however, they all failed. In addition to the fact that the young genius had many high-level spiritual items with her, she also had personal power that could easily get rid of assassins.

Therefore, there was only to sigh and pray that this girl would restrain herself.

Many at that time wondered if it was possible to find a Nemesis for this woman in any way. Many immediately answered: "I doubt that such a person will be found." However, surprisingly, someone like that existed!

In one of the cities of the Northern Continent, in a high pavilion.

"Come on, older sister, drink! This is very expensive spiritual wine!" a lively girl's voice was heard.

"Mei-Mei... let me remind you that I don't drink wine. You can enjoy it, and I prefer tea," a gentle voice was heard in response, which made people relax and show friendliness.

"Eee?!

In the VIP room, which was separate from the main hall of the restaurant, two girls were sitting. Each of them was beautiful, like a diamond shining brightly in the moonlight.

One of the girls was the beautiful brunette with blue eyes, Xu Mei. But the other...

She had shoulder-length hair that shone brightly silver, reminiscent of moonlight. Her eyelashes were long, and her eyelids were closed, but she easily handled the tea set.

She was slender, not tall if we are talking about the average height of cultivators, which was about 175-180 cm. The chest of the cute girl was of medium size, but what stood out was her slender butt and "developed" thighs.

This girl had first-class charm. If Xu Mei was a beauty with her aura of arrogance and coldness, then she looked modest, calm, and compliant, which won the hearts of many men.

"Hmph, because of your compliance, many stupid bastards think that you are a weakling and can be offended! I'll tear all their necks off!" Xu Mei said angrily, drinking wine from the bottle and slamming it on the table. She looked at the girl in front of her with obvious displeasure: "Liu Yan! Why do you put up with this? You're a genius alchemist!" S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As it turned out, the girl sitting at the same table as Xu Mei was named Liu Yan. She slightly opened her eyes, which were like amber, and smiled sweetly, not answering the girl's question.

"Don't drink from the neck. You're a lady," Liu Yan scolded.

"Um... l-alright."

It would be an exaggerated reaction if all the people who suffered from Xu Mei's hands saw her now.

It seemed that the untamed and cruel lioness in one moment became an obedient tiger cub, as soon as Liu Yan scolded her.

Liu Yan, seeing her obedience, could only smile gently. And then, pouring herself fragrant tea, she thought a little and sighed.

"They are just foolish young men. Why should I waste my breath on them? You should also learn to ignore all kinds of idiots," Liu Yan said and bitterly smiled, looking at Xu Mei, who muttered something under her nose with a disgruntled voice: "And stop being offended. I'm just saying this for your own good."

"Hmph, you're like a mom..." Rolling her eyes, with pouted lips, Xu Mei said.

"M-mom?"

Liu Yan didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she was called such a stupid word, however, a gentle smile did not leave her face.

She remembered their first meeting.

***

Liu Yan loved to travel and mostly did it alone. Since there were hidden warriors in the shadows nearby, she could walk around without fear for her life.

Her favorite pastime was collecting flowers, and medicinal herbs, and making pills. One of these days, she ended up on the Eastern Continent and found herself on the territory with high mountains.

"How beautiful it is here!" the girl was amazed, and her yellow eyes, like two pieces of amber, showed her sincere emotions.

There were no people around, only flora and fauna ruled in this area. Although she tried to be persuaded several times not to go to these territories, the curiosity of the young lady outweighed the danger.

"I was right not to listen to these guys! It's so beautiful here! Such clean air, lots of greenery and herbs... oh! There's even the White Radiance Grass here!"

It seemed that she had got into paradise - such were the feelings that Liu Yan experienced. After all, in addition to the fact that it was very beautiful here, many rare medicinal herbs were also discovered that could help her in the future.

"I don't understand why no one comes here. With my Soul Nascent cultivation, I didn't sense any danger," the girl thought, tilting her head to the side as her hands carefully cut the stem of the medicinal herb.

She wandered around here until the evening and already lost her bearings. The day turned into night, and the girl lost in the mountainous area was puzzled.

"But... where is the exit?" she thought, and her face became bitter: "I got lost again!"

The young girl was on the peak of one of the countless mountains. The view from here was very beautiful.

"Oh, the weather is good today. The stars are visible in the sky," she muttered, looking up in surprise. The bright starlight was reflected in her beautiful yellow eyes: "How beautiful!"

With her shiny silver hair, she was somewhat reminiscent of the moon. Her slender figure fits perfectly into the boundless starry sky.

Only she and nature, as well as the bright glow of souls. Liu Yan's face involuntarily showed hints of drowsiness.

And at that moment, when she was about to lose consciousness, her sixth sense woke her up from sleep, brushing aside drowsiness.

Fshuuuh!

The sound of the wind was heard, and Liu Yan discovered with horror that the tips of her silver hair, which were cut, were dancing in the air.

And in the place where she was standing before, there was a girl. She was like the embodiment of the night, and her eyes were like a sea surface, in which nothing could be read except cold.

In her hand, she held an ordinary-looking sword, and white robes fluttered in the wind. She was tall, slender, and developed in the right places.

"This is..."

Liu Yan narrowed her eyes. She could determine at first glance who this girl was. After all, as the heiress of the sect, the girl was introduced to many dangerous and influential personalities.

"Xu Mei! Her nickname is 'Blinding Blade'!" Liu Yan discovered in shock.

Gradually, as Xu Mei remained silent, Liu Yan's breathing stabilized, and she, standing in a stance, stretched her hands towards the scabbards that appeared from her spatial ring.

However, before she could even bring her hands close to the scabbards to draw the sword, suddenly!

Clang! Jin!

"Wh-what?!"

Liu Yan looked in amazement at the indifferent blue eyes that mercilessly shone in the night sky, while she helplessly lay on the ground. Her hands trembled, resisting the force that this girl was applying.

When Liu Yan came to her senses from the shock, her eyes widened, discovering that her sword along with the scabbard was cut in half!

Fear. This emotion Liu Yan had not experienced for a long time. Of all the cases, she met this girl, who was dangerous and bloodthirsty!

"W-wait..." Liu Yan's gentle voice was heard, and she looked at Xu Mei with fear on her face, who held the sword at the ready: "P-please, stop. I don't understand how I offended you. Why did you attack me?"

"Hm? Judging by your voice, you should have recognized me," Xu Mei's cold voice was heard, and she narrowed her eyes, looking at Liu Yan's helpless expression: "I must say, you have courage. Aren't you aware that from the grass to all the mountains, within a radius of ten thousand miles, the territory belongs to me?"

"N-no... I'm sorry... I'm really guilty!"

Liu Yan finally realized why the residents of the nearby city warned her so strongly. As it turned out, these lands were owned directly by Xu Mei!

And what's worse, she violated the borders, thus dooming herself to death!

However, it seemed that Xu Mei was not as bloodthirsty as the rumors said. She was silent for a while, and then put away the blade, indifferently looking at Liu Yan lying on the grass.

"It seems that you are really lucky. I don't really want to fight with Soul Integration cultivators, so I'll leave you alive," Xu Mei coldly noted, and then frowning, shouted: "Now get out of here! So that I don't see your foot here anymore!"

"I-I understand!"

Liu Yan panicked and got up. Immediately, she was enveloped in dark smoke, and the cultivators hiding in the darkness finally appeared in the light, standing in front of Xu Mei.

The atmosphere was tense, however, Xu Mei was not worried. She just looked at them arrogantly and raised her sword.

One easy movement, but this already made the opponent at the level of Soul Integration be on guard.

"Stop, lady. We do not intend to fight!" said one of the defenders, coming into the light.

This was a man with a beautiful appearance. He had long gray hair and deep blue eyes. His height was under two meters, while his aura radiated existence at the level of Soul Integration 1st stage.

"Hm? You are Yan Zui, right? One of the geniuses in the Sect of Nine Pills," Xu Mei recognized the man's identity.

As it turned out, this was Yan Zui! A genius who became famous in the last ten years for his speed of learning and flexibility of mind!
