Is She His Reserve Food?

The Sect Master of Xuantian Sect was not surprised by this response. He awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “Then it can only rely on the young lady herself. I will infuse the last trace of my spiritual power into the seal. When you can break the seal, I will assist you!”

“Heh.” Yan Shu forced a bitter smile, “Then thank you in advance.”

The Sect Master of Xuantian Sect awkwardly touched his nose and returned to the seal, entering a state of dormancy, waiting to assist Yan Shu when she broke the seal next time.

Yan Shu lay on the bed, feeling dejected. Her cultivation was sealed below the Nascent Soul stage, which meant she had to go through the same path from Foundation Establishment to Divine Ascension as the original host. It wouldn’t take long, just a few decades. But even with her innate Taoist embryo and mutated spiritual roots, an ordinary cultivator with single spiritual roots wouldn’t be able to achieve it in less than two to three hundred years.

She finally understood why Xiao Jihan in the original book was able to kill the original host after breaking through to the Golden Dan stage. It turned out that it wasn’t just because the original host was troubled by inner demons, but also because of this seal.

Xiao Jihan was currently in the late Golden Dan stage, and she was also in the late Golden Dan stage. Fortunately, she was a peace-loving one. After understanding her situation, her first thought wasn’t to kill Xiao Jihan while she was still stronger. Otherwise, she would have been dead yesterday.

Yan Shu wiped the sweat off her forehead. No, she needed to think carefully. Right now, there are two ways to save her life. One was to follow the original plan and increase Xiao Jihan’s favorability towards her, making him give up on killing her within three months. However, while it sounded easy, it was extremely difficult to do. She worked hard and made efforts, but her favorability only increased by a few points in a day. And those few points couldn’t compare to how much it dropped when Xiao Jihan glanced at her.

The other method was to follow the suggestion of the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect and find someone in the Divine Ascension stage or above to cultivate with and break the seal. That way, she could restore her cultivation to the Divine Ascension stage. No matter how formidable Xiao Jihan was, he wouldn’t be able to kill her in the short term. She could survive for a while longer. Then, during that time, she could work on increasing Xiao Jihan’s favorability. It seemed much better than having only three months.

But the problem was, apart from the senior brothers of Xuantian Sect, there were fewer than thirty people in the entire cultivation world who had cultivation beyond the Divine Ascension stage. Among them, there were less than twenty men. If she excluded those who were unavailable or already had partners, the number of people who met the conditions for dual cultivation with her was less than five in the entire cultivation world.

The original host rarely left her sect and had no interaction with these people. Moreover, those who were able to reach the Divine Ascension stage at a young age were all exceptional talents.

If she just went up to them and said, “Ah, let’s cultivate together,” they would think she was crazy.

Yan Shu sighed. She should just honestly work on increasing Xiao Jihan’s favorability. Although it was difficult, at least there would be some progress, right?

Thinking of this, Yan Shu suddenly remembered something. Today, when she left Wushang Peak, it seemed that she didn’t get struck by lightning! Moreover, she also gave something to Xiao Jihan and sought revenge for him. Her character had already deviated from its original path, but she still didn’t get struck by lightning!

Did that mean she was free to go?

Yan Shu immediately rolled off the bed, lifted her foot, and walked towards the outside.

Just as she walked out of the main hall, she bumped into Xiao Jihan, who had just returned.

For a moment, their eyes met, and a coldness flashed in Xiao Jihan’s phoenix-like eyes. But he quickly lowered his gaze and called out, “Master.”

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Yan Shu’s heart trembled. She cleared her throat and said, “You’re back?”

Xiao Jihan glanced at her, feeling that this wicked woman was a bit strange as if she was eager to send him away.

He calmly replied, “Yes.”

The conversation died down.

The two of them stood in place, and Yan Shu noticed that he didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. She cleared her throat and asked, “What are you planning to do later?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jihan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he truthfully answered, “Refining pills.”

“Refining pills? Heh, that is good, that is good.” Yan Shu forced a dry laugh twice and waved her hand, “Go ahead.”

Xiao Jihan glanced at her, feeling that this wicked woman was a bit strange as if she was in a hurry to get rid of him.

He calmly acknowledged and then turned and left.

Yan Shu watched his figure disappear and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quietly came to a cliff on Wushang Peak and tentatively extended her foot.

Great, no lightning.

Her courage grew, and she summoned her flying sword and carefully controlled it to rise.

One meter, two meters, three meters... ten meters!

Looking at the endless sky, Yan Shu’s heart filled with joy. She immediately controlled the flying sword and headed towards the sect.

I can finally...

Before she could finish her thought, a sudden strong wind blew, and Yan Shu looked up. She saw that the clear sky, which had been cloudless a moment ago, was suddenly covered by two dark clouds. Purple lightning rolled within the clouds, mocking her foolish dreams.

Yan Shu inwardly exclaimed, “This is bad!” She immediately turned the flying sword around and flew back towards Wushang Peak.

However, it was still too late...

Boom!

A purple thunderbolt struck down, causing both Yan Shu and her flying sword to waver in mid-air. The thunder roared above her head as the clouds churned. Yan Shu endured the pain and numbness caused by the lightning within her body and quickly descended toward Wushang Peak.

Boom!

Another heavenly thunder descended, and Yan Shu couldn’t bear it any longer. She pointed at the sky and cursed, “Do you have no sense of sportsmanship?! I’ve come back! I’ve landed! Why are you still striking?!”

With each word she spoke, black smoke emanated from her mouth. However, the only response she received was the gradually dissipating thunderclouds and a gust of wind that seemed to mock her.

Xiao Jihan, who was standing in the shadows, watched as Yan Shu, who was not far away, was charred and blackened by the lightning. His cold phoenix-like eyes were icy.

This wicked woman had just been struck by two heavenly thunderbolts in succession. At this moment, she was half-paralyzed, sitting on the ground with her arms limp. She didn’t even have the strength to retrieve her flying sword.

It was the perfect opportunity to kill her!

A top-grade spiritual treasure, the flying sword, instantly appeared in Xiao Jihan’s hand, emitting a dazzling light.

His phoenix-like eyes were cold like winter as he stared fixedly at the disheveled Yan Shu sitting on the ground. His thin lips pursed and tightened.

Kill her!

Every fiber of Xiao Jihan’s being screamed, urging him to kill this woman.

If he killed her, he would no longer have to endure the torment of his heart being gouged out every month. If he killed her, he could break free from her shackles. No matter how vast the world was, even if he became a wandering cultivator, it would be better than the current situation!

The flying sword in his hand seemed to sense its master’s killing intent, emitting a faint sword hum. Xiao Jihan fell into silence. In the end, he lifted his foot and stepped out of the shadows.

Yan Shu, sitting on the ground in despair, was contemplating. She realized that she could ruin her character and deviate from the plot, but she couldn’t leave Wushang Peak. No, more precisely, she couldn’t leave Xiao Jihan!

Because she was the nourishment for Xiao Jihan’s spiritual root transformation. In the original book, Xiao Jihan refined her spiritual roots, which led to his first transformation.

Simply speaking, she was like Xiao Jihan’s reserve food!

Damn it!

Yan Shu tugged at her disheveled hair in annoyance. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt a wave of killing intent.

Yes, what killing intent!
