Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (25????)

Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (25????)

Together we passed the pills transforming energy through Dread Lotuss body. When we reached her upper and lower intestines, I had to place a few needles in the right acupoints, but that cleared up the last of her major blockages.

Unfortunately, this left her covered in expelled impurities.

Maid Xiao Fan quickly took care of it by using a half dozen cleaning techniques after I heavily encouraged her.

Once the energy from the pill finished transforming Dread Lotus body, she sighed. Her brows that had been scrunched in pain eased. Yes! Its finally over!

I shook my head. Its not.

The contented smile on her face froze. Then she glared at me. What do you mean, its not? I dont have to go through that again, do I?!

We just forcefully cleared your body of impurities and transformed your weak constitution into Superior Songs Body. This is the perfect time to have your first body cultivation bath.

Her eyes turned glossy, and she blinked as if holding back tears. Im exhausted. Cant it wait a day?

Was she trying to gain my sympathy? While cute, she wasnt nearly as adorable as Little Spring. I was immune. It cant if you want to be the healthiest girl in this sect. Even as we speak, your perfectly clean meridians are developing impurities.

She struggled for a second, then sighed. Damn it.

I held out an energy replenishment pill. Take this. I can give you 10 minutes to recover while your maid readies a hot bath.

She nodded to Xiao Fan, and the woman disappeared into another room. Next, she took the pill with a cup of diluted spiritual spring water.

After closing her eyes to meditate, she asked, So, is this bath going to be more painful or less?

Itll be worse, but it wont take as much mental effort.

The frown on her face told me that she was very reluctant. Unfortunately for her, the expectation of a pain-free medical procedure only existed in my past-past life.

Well, if you cant handle the pain, I can attempt to lessen it. However, the method is experimental and exciting.

Uh. So youve tried other experiments?

Yes! Unfortunately, they practically negated the baths effect wasting ingredients. But dont worry too much. I believe this attempt will work!

After consuming Little Springs body cultivation meals, I knew it could be painless! For this next attempt, number 642, I wanted to keep an open mind. And do what I did best combine different disciplines using my Unlimited Dao. Muahahaha!

Dread Lotus quickly glanced toward where her maid had left. She looked worried, as if shed been left alone with a crazy person. But I was obviously very sane, so that couldnt be it.

Whatever. I couldnt let her distract me from this precious chance to experiment once more!

She quickly turned her gaze toward me and lightly slapped the side of the bed.

Wait! Could you have used this new pain-relieving method to lessen the pain I went through earlier?!

Of course not! I straightened my spine and glared. I cant do it and perform acupuncture simultaneously. At least not in my current realm. Also, dont forget that this method is experimental.

But it was the most promising experiment Id ever come up with. Frankly, I wished I could have attempted it when I went through my own body cultivation bath. But I hadnt had a high enough realm.

Anyway, focus on replenishing your energy!

She sent me a brief exasperated glance but returned to meditating.

After ten minutes had passed, Dread Lotus appeared to be twenty times healthier than when Id first seen her. While she hadnt gained any weight, she had flushed cheeks. Also, the dark circles under her eyes had disappeared.

It was time to infuse her weak body with spiritual energy to strengthen it.

Maid Xiao Fan returned and tried to help her up. She waved her off and slowly sat up by herself.

Dread Lotus stared at the ground for a solid minute. I was about to say something when she suddenly stood up.

Xiao Fan burst into tears. Young Miss! Youre standing by yourself!

She took a few careful steps, then quickly grew more confident and walked all the way to the room where Xiao Fan had set up the bath.

I followed after her. Just how long have you been stuck in that bed?

Her cheeks turned red. An embarrassing amount of time. Then she turned to me with determination. What do I have to do?

That depends. Do you know the turtle breathing technique?

She shook her head.

It figured.

I brought out a body cultivation bath bomb, crushed it, and sprinkled it on top of the water. Next, I poured in the rest of my diluted spiritual spring water.

Youre going to have to stay completely submerged. Which is why youll need this. I grabbed a random spiritual bamboo straw from Little Springs kitchen. You should be able to bite down on it, too.

She took a step toward the bath, then hesitated. I know it will be painful, but this isnt going to kill me, right?

I placed my hands behind my back. Of course not. I went through this when I was just a child and Im perfectly fine. I can guarantee that you wont die-die.

Her eyes narrowed. you said die twice.

That was for emphasis. Oh!

She jumped a bit.

I took out a jade slip and wrote up a contract. As the creator of the Dao of Paperwork, I couldnt let Early Rise Swift Brush down, by forgetting one of the most important aspects of it covering my own ass. Since this is an experiment, you need to give your consent and waive your right to hold me liable if this goes horribly wrong. Not that it will. Just sign this with your spiritual signature.

Her uncles and aunts were so high up in the fucking sect that I wasnt taking any chances.

Nine or ten. Physically, anyway. And I didnt have any anesthetic.

She ground her teeth. Im not going to lose to a child, especially now that the pain doesnt bother me Continue!

It was good to see her indomitable will return.

Dread Lotus and Xiao Fan met me out in the courtyard after changing out of their wet clothes.

So, how is your transformed, strong, and healthy body?

Making me torn between worshiping you as an ancestor or punching you.

Consolidating your body cultivation isnt a bad idea! And it would help me judge if the pain-numbing music diluted the baths effect too much.

Wait, really?

You may try to hit me. For science! Muahahaha!

Her jaw dropped.

To make it fair, Ill reduce the strength I use to match yours and only block you with one hand.

Are you sure?

Before I could finish nodding, she dashed forward to punch my face. I used Impossible Leap to dodge slightly and two fingers to redirect her strike.

We exchanged a few more simple strikes as I gauged her strength. She increased the intensity she hit with each attack.

When she tried to knee my stomach, I caught it against my palm. I had to do some mental math and consider her original cultivation level before I could settle on an answer to the effects the song had on the baths effect. Unfortunately, she attempted to sucker punch me while I was in the middle of doing calculations. To block her, I pushed her knee back. I accidentally used more strength than necessary and sent her flying across the courtyard.

She crashed into a wall, creating a large indent. Her body froze with her eyes wide open.

Young miss! Xiao Fan ran over to her.

Dread Lotus suddenly burst out laughing. I... Im fine!

She jumped out of the hole shed created. Xiao Fan handed her a handkerchief which she used to wipe at the corner of her watery eyes.

Xiao Fan blinked back tears. The young miss is cured, and is stronger than the average demonic musician!

Dread Lotus nodded and briefly patted the maids head.

The conclusion of this experiment it fucking worked! Dread Lotus now had body cultivation equivalent to the sixth layer of Qi Condensation.

While I would have to test it out on more people to be absolutely positive, I had created the first almost entirely pain-free cultivation bath in existence! And more importantly, Id probably saved Dread Lotuss life.

The two walked up to me.

Xiao Fan bowed. This servant thanks Fairy Linlin for curing Miss Dread Lotus!

She was a really loyal maid.

Well, Of course I cured her. I said I would.

Dread Lotus chuckled. Sister Linlin! Youve made a friend for life. Thank you for everything. Let me know if youre ever in trouble and Ill do whatever I can to help you.

I clasped my hands behind my back. As my friend, you dont need to thank me. Just come to our first practice in four days. Id need that long to make a peak earth rank drum set.

I will! Im looking forward to it. She paused for a moment and tilted her head as she looked at me. By the way, let me know if youd like to introduce you to my uncle

I coughed.

or any other poison master. Im sure theyd love to discuss the Dao with such a brilliant alchemist.

Shit. While I didnt regret it, healing her might have been too high profile for a spy like me.

Whatever. It should be fine since only the three of us saw everything.

I clasped my hands behind my back. Of course they would. I am a genius.

She nodded very seriously. And I will never forget that as long as I live.

But I am only in Foundation Establishment. I wouldnt want to bring too much attention to myself.

This was still a Xianxia world where assholes at the top would kill talented young disciples just to prevent them from threatening their position in the future.

Dread Lotus wasnt an idiot. She nodded. I understand. Ill keep your identity a secret as much as I can.

Sister Lin! A secret sound transmission from Little Spring hit my eardrums. He didnt sound good. I need He cut off.

Fuck. I have to leave.

Dread Lotuss brows scrunched with concern, but she gestured for me to hurry.

I pulled out my flying sword and stepped on it while sending the kid a few sound transmissions, asking for his location. There was no response.

How could I find out where he was? The sect was too big to use my handicapped divine sense. Using the space and suddenly appearing next to him would be too noticeable. And I wasnt sure if I had enough time to hide somewhere so I could ask the little golden dragon.

Wait! He was with that idiot, Little Teasing Mouse.

Where is Senior Verdant Spring?

Wu wu wu! Little Linlin! Come quick! The Poison Master says hes not going to make it.

Motherfucker! What did that goddamned protagonist get into all by himself? Where are you?

I-Ill give you directions. Just hurry before hes gone.

Gone?! What the fuck did she mean by gone?!
