Chapter 3: Can Only One Be Saved - Big Head or Small Head?
Chapter 3: Can Only One Be Saved – Big Head or Small Head?
Lin Fengmian stormed back to his room and placed the double-fish jade pendant on his chest, but nothing happened for a long time.
He suddenly remembered that his previous nightmares had been extremely regular, occurring every three days!
If that was the case, even if he wanted to confront her, would it have to wait until three days later?
Until then, he might only be able to take revenge as a vengeful spirit, right?
Lin Fengmian sat in his room and drank an entire pot of cold water to calm down. Relying on others was not as good as relying on himself; he could only save himself.
The difference in strength between him and his enemy was too great; a direct confrontation was impossible. He could only outwit her.
Liu Mei was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, one of the two most powerful women on Crimson Phoenix Peak.
The only person in Crimson Phoenix Peak who could compete with Liu Mei was her younger sister, Chen Qingyan.
But Chen Qingyan was not familiar with him, and although he had thoughts about her, she might not necessarily help him.
In the worst case scenario, Lin Fengmian could only save one head – a big head or a small head.
If he cut off the small head to save his life and lost that part, she wouldn’t be able to absorb anything, right?
Of course, this was the last option. Even though the higher realms of cultivation could regenerate severed limbs, who knew if that part was included.
The reason he was taken into the sect and given special care was probably related to the fairy who had spoken up to bring him in.
But he didn’t even know her name or why she had brought him to the sect. What should he do?
Lin Fengmian suddenly thought of someone and hurriedly headed to Green Phoenix Peak, which was next to Crimson Phoenix Peak.
Even though the Joyful Union Sect was mostly made up of seductive fairies, those fairies were not that seductive when they first joined the sect.
On the contrary, the female disciples of the Joyful Union Sect were not allowed to lose their virginity before reaching the Foundation, so they all lived on Green Phoenix Peak next to Crimson Phoenix Peak.
When he arrived at Green Phoenix Peak, there were female disciples guarding the base of the mountain. When they saw Lin Fengmian arrive, they couldn’t help but evaluate him.
One of the seductive women giggled, “This junior brother, did you come to the wrong place?”
Lin Fengmian quickly smiled and said, “Several senior sisters, I am here on the orders of Senior Sister Liu Mei of Crimson Phoenix Peak to find Junior Sister Xia Yunxi.”
He took out a token, which was indeed a Crimson Phoenix Peak pass token, though it was given to him by Liu Mei for the convenience of collecting corpses.
The guards didn’t doubt him, believing that Lin Fengmian wouldn’t dare to forge orders.
It was common for senior sisters from Crimson Phoenix Peak to send female disciples from Green Phoenix Peak to observe and learn.
“You wait here, I’ll go get her,” the female disciple said with a charming smile, swaying her hips as she walked in, while Lin Fengmian dared not look too closely.
To survive in the Joyful Union sect, it’s important to keep your eyes in check.
After a short while, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl appeared on Green Phoenix Peak.
The girl was stunning, with delicate features, bright eyes, and snow-white skin. Even though she was still in her prime, her every smile and gesture was enough to captivate souls, exuding a charm that could enchant many.
This was Xia Yunxi that Lin Fengmian was looking for. Seeing Lin Fengmian, she blushed slightly and said softly, “Senior Brother Lin, did Senior Sister Liu summon me to Crimson Phoenix Peak?”
Lin Fengmian nodded, “Yes, Junior Sister Xia, please follow me.”
Xia Yunxi hummed in agreement and somewhat reluctantly made her way to Crimson Phoenix Peak.
She even blushed when she looked at the paintings of the Spring Palace, she could not bear to look at those practical scenes. Every time, she would find ways to escape.
That time, she found another excuse to escape and ended up running into Lin Fengmian, who was waiting outside to collect corpses, leaving her stunned.
Inside, the elder sisters were vigorously demonstrating with passionate moans that couldn’t be hidden.
Outside, the still youthful Lin Fengmian and the blushing Xia Yunxi listened to the sounds and exchanged awkward glances.
When Lin Fengmian saw Xia Yunxi’s flushed face, he smiled and greeted her, making Xia Yunxi so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide.
She had originally thought that Lin Fengmian would also be dried out like a furnace, but to her surprise, he had always survived.
They often met at Crimson Phoenix Peak, and Lin Fengmian would chat with her, gradually getting to know each other.
Lin Fengmian found that Xia Yunxi was different from the other female disciples; she was pure and introverted, out of place in the Joyful Union Sect.
She had high aptitude and a natural charming body, born to practice this technique, yet she blushed at the mere sound, let alone the sight.
Every time Xia Yunxi saw those exhausted men, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for them, which was another reason why Lin Fengmian felt close to her.
Over the course of three years, Lin Fengmian watched her grow from a skinny girl in her adolescent years to the stunning virgin she was now.
In Lin Fengmian’s eyes, they had a certain bond, as Xia Yunxi was willing to chat with him, and their relationship was quite good.
This time, Lin Fengmian had no choice but to hope that Xia Yunxi could help him find out which senior had brought him into the sect.
As they walked along a mountain path, Lin Fengmian suddenly pulled her into a dense forest by the side of the road.
Xia Yunxi was startled and asked nervously, “Senior Brother, what are you going to do?”
“Shh!”
Lin Fengmian turned around and motioned for her to be quiet, then continued to pull her deeper into the forest.
Xia Yunxi’s face turned red. Influenced by the Joyful Union Sect, she knew that some senior sisters liked to indulge themselves in the open air and mate in the wild.
Was this Senior Brother Lin trying to lead her into some reckless behavior?
Her mind was confused and she didn’t realize that Lin Fengmian had stopped, so she bumped into him, looking dazed.
She found herself in a secluded part of the forest with no one around, and her face turned red as she said, “Senior Brother, we can’t do this.”
“What can’t we do?” Lin Fengmian asked in confusion.
“I haven’t reached Foundation Establishment yet…” Xia Yunxi said, looking down.
“What kind of nonsense is that, junior sister? This could be the last time we see each other!” Lin Fengmian said sadly.
“Senior brother, what is wrong with you?” Xia Yunxi asked, her face changing slightly as she looked up.
“Senior Sister Liu has summoned me to her room for an ‘evaluation’ the day after tomorrow. You know what that means,” Lin Fengmian said hoarsely.
Xia Yunxi was taken aback and exclaimed, “Senior Brother, you weren’t supposed to be ‘evaluated’, were you? Why all of a sudden…?”
Over the past three years, Senior Brother had been quite caring towards her, almost like a childhood friend who had watched her grow up.
She had thought that he would stay on Crimson Phoenix Peak like this forever, but she had never expected that he would also face the fate of being drained.
Lin Fengmian sighed and said, “The reason I wasn’t needed for ‘evaluations’ all this time should be related to a senior who brought me into the sect.”
“I don’t know if anything happened to her, but Senior Sister Liu no longer fears her and now wants to absorb my essence.”
Xia Yunxi’s face also changed, and she anxiously said, “This… what should we do? I’ll beg Senior Sister Liu to spare you.”
Lin Fengmian knew that getting Liu Mei to change her mind would be harder than ascending to heaven, and he didn’t dare to gamble on Xia Yunxi’s feelings for him.
He knew that he had to pull out all the stops, or else he really would end up with two feet of grass growing on his grave.
He steeled his heart and held Xia Yunxi’s small hand, looking at her affectionately and saying, “Junior Sister Xia, I didn’t ask you here to help me, I just wanted you to understand my feelings.”
“Junior Sister Xia, I’ve loved you for a long time. I had hoped to die in your hands one day, but it seems that fate has other plans.”
Lin Fengmian, looking both sad and loving, handed Xia Yunxi a worn out storage bag.
“Over the years, I’ve only been able to save these Spirit Stones. I am giving them to you in the hope that they will help you continue on your cultivation path. I just hope that you don’t forget that there was once someone like me in your life.”
