The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The woods were deep and secluded, and the rustling sounds of the grass and trees were particularly pleasant.

"There should be no one here anymore."

Chi Miao immediately sat cross-legged and continued to absorb spiritual energy.

She has wasted far too much time.

In her previous life, she died young, before she even turned twenty.

From the day she transmigrated to this world and became a five-year-old orphan until now, she has been a helpless and useless person.

No one knows better than her how she has survived these past ten years.

With no one to rely on and no skills, the only way to make a living is to keep cheating.

Once, while she was swindling, she encountered two cultivators fighting. The two set up an array and fought fiercely until the sky darkened.

An unexpected incident resulted in the death of the person she was trying to deceive.

That man died right in front of her.

The cultivator bears no responsibility; he simply leaves with a casual remark about "committing a sin."

She stood in front of the man's body for a long time.

Then she understood even more clearly... that this was a dog-eat-dog world where the strong were respected.

She wants to live, and she wants to live a wonderful and beautiful life, so she must become stronger as soon as possible!

And just then...

Suddenly she heard the sound of running water, which made her very curious.

She looked over and noticed a faint light emanating from the area beside her, enveloped in a misty haze.

"What is it?"

She walked over out of curiosity.

Parting the bushes, you could still hear a man's panting.

one look.

As the sun and moon alternate, the wondrous stones emit a fluorescent glow, illuminating a pool of spring water that is a pure, clear blue, while the warm water creates a misty haze.

The man leaned against the edge, his fair chest muscles bulging above the water. His skin was as white as flawless jade, and his black hair was loose, floating in the spring water.

This person was extremely handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his features were as sharp as if carved by a sword. He was aloof and arrogant.

Oh, a handsome man taking a bath.

Good looking, love to watch.

Just then, a cold glint flashed in the man's eyes.

Swish-!

A chilling sword aura struck, and although Chi Miao reacted in time, the sword aura was too fast, and he was still cut on the neck.

Fuck!

She'll die if she's any slower!

Looking further over there, there was no one to be seen.

The next second, a sword was pressed against his throat, about to pierce him.

Chi Miao raised her hands: "I surrender."

The man was dressed in a dark blue robe, his long hair was dry and tied into a high ponytail, and his expression was extremely cold.

Why were you spying?

He sized up Chi Miao and noticed that his cultivation level was not high, and he also had a token at his waist. He could roughly guess that Chi Miao was a newcomer who had not yet entered the sect and was not there to assassinate him.

Chi Miao: "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't peep. You were soaking in the open-air hot spring while I was cultivating. You disturbed me, so I came to check on you."

The man raised an eyebrow: "Am I bothering you?"

Chi Miao: "Otherwise what? I only came over to take a look because of the rushing water. Besides, I only saw the top part. And you hurt me."

As she spoke, she showed her wounds.

The man suddenly choked up, saying, "What do you mean, 'I only saw the upper part'?"

So you actually think it's a pity?

Whose daughter speaks so bluntly?!

Chi Miao: "You have a great figure, but I didn't see anything else, so what's the big deal?"

"Anything else?"

Chi Miao looked at him as if it were a matter of course, then glanced down at his crotch and said, "What else could it be? You have it, but I don't."

The man only realized what was happening now, and a look of shame appeared on his handsome face.

Throughout his life, almost nothing but swords could stir his emotions.

But these words really broke his defenses.

A blush appeared on his face.

"How dare you... how can a young woman spout such nonsense!"

Chi Miao: "I'm not ashamed of you, what are you ashamed of? It's not a secret what a man looks like. Calm down, the important thing is to think about how to compensate me for my medical expenses, isn't it?"

"ha?"

The man was shocked; he was truly astonished.

"Will I pay your medical expenses?"

"Otherwise what? Are the marks on my neck self-harmed?" Chi Miao said matter-of-factly. "I won't hold it against you for disturbing my cultivation, but if you dare to skip out on the medical bill, I'll really nag you."

"Can't you have any shame?" The man prided himself on his composure, but Chi Miao was truly shameless.

Chi Miao touched her face: "I can't have any more. I already have a beautiful face. If I want more, wouldn't I be shameless?"

The man fell silent; he truly fell silent.

He had never met such a shameless person!

His master taught him swordsmanship, but not how to deal with scoundrels.

Faced with such blatant extortion, he was somewhat unable to refute it.

Forget it, let's just settle this matter sooner rather than later. I'll just consider it as being bitten by a dog.

He touched the spatial ring on his finger and pulled out a bright red pill: "This is a Grade One Qi and Blood Pill, is that enough?"

Qi and Blood Pill?

Elixirs are valuable and precious! They work!

Suddenly, a small professional habit popped into Chi Miao's head.

"Just one?"

"One Qi and Blood Pill isn't enough?"

"That might be enough... Well, you can only afford to bathe outdoors now, so you probably don't have much money. I won't make things difficult for you..."

What a despicable statement.

What do you mean you can only take outdoor baths now? You must really not have much money.

This is the first time in a man's life he has ever heard such a despicable statement!

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Two pieces, take it or leave it!"

He took out another one and placed it in Chi Miao's palm, then turned and left, afraid that Chi Miao would blurt out another sentence.

Chi Miao was satisfied and kindly reminded him from behind.

"Handsome, remember to be careful not to brandish your sword next time you take a bath outdoors. Oh, and... your pectoral muscles are really big. If you're worried about people seeing them, you can wrap them up with bandages!"

The man, who was halfway down the road, stumbled.

Then he flung the sword away, leaped lightly, and flew away on his sword!

"Wow……"

Chi Miao's eyes were filled with envy. It was the first time she had ever seen someone fly on a sword. It was so cool!

She'll end up like that someday!

……

The man returned to the main mountain of Nine Swords Mountain, "Jade Purity Mountain".

As soon as he returned, the old man inside spoke.

"Wu Huo, it seems you've had a very fruitful trip?"

Still sulking, Ying Wuhuo was taken aback: "Master, what do you mean by that?"

The old man smiled and said, "Today's extreme yin energy erupted, but it's much milder than usual."

Ying Wuhuo was so angry that he was a little dizzy, but this reminder made him suddenly realize what was going on.

It seems... that's really the case.

How could that be?

He was born with a sword spirit and a mutated ice spirit root, which also made him an extremely yin body.

Every month, an extreme yin energy would erupt, causing him immense suffering.

If he is not cured before the age of nineteen, he will surely die suddenly.

This had troubled him for a long time, and he had been searching for a solution, but... he only found one method that was absolutely impossible to complete.

The ultimate fire spiritual root mutated into a yang spiritual root.

Only the Yang Spiritual Root can dispel his extremely Yin energy.

But the Yang Spiritual Root has always existed only in legends, a fantasy, and it's not so easy to find.

With less than a month until his nineteenth birthday, the extreme yin energy had been erupting more and more frequently lately, and he had already made up his mind to die.

He was simply unwilling to accept it; he should have been the brightest star among the constellations of this era…

Just then, the old man spoke again: "Speaking of which, I heard from some elders that a young girl made repeated mistakes in her spiritual root test today, which suggests that she may have a Yang spiritual root."

Ying Wuhuo's body stiffened.

"A Yang-type spiritual root, little girl?"

Considering that his symptoms have eased somewhat today.

A figure suddenly popped into his mind.

A despicable figure.

No... that can't be, right?
