"Why are you bringing your disciple along for the operation?" Mei Qiaofeng asked, "She is quite a specimen, I think I"m a little jealous.""She"ll be useful, I promise," Chen Wentian scoffed, "And she"s not going to fight with you over men."
"Oh really?" Mei Qiaofeng had an queer smile on her face. "What makes you so sure, is she your little wife? Does she warm your bed at night?"
Her face changed into what could only be a.s.sumed to be her s.e.x face, "Oh master! Harder! Harder!" She moaned while caressing her own body.
Chen Wentian shuddered in horror, realizing too late that he should never have said anything. Trying to argue with a woman like her was like stabbing his own foot. He ignored her perverse sounds and retreated back to his room.
The three of them were hiding in a remote village in Beast G.o.d Province. It was a safe house and they could stay as long as they wanted without attracting attention. Having been an immortal of the sect, it was easy for Mei Qiaofeng to sneak around provided she followed her own secret routes. This farmhouse belonged to some distant relatives who were still fiercely loyal to her.
He Xingping"s hunt had started and Chen Wentian was simply waiting for the right time to strike. Dust Scorpion and Sleeping Tortoise were no where to be found but it would be fine without those two. At least, Chen Wentian was fully confident in his abilities. He wasn"t really sure how Mei Qiaofeng would do in a fight but she would be a good distraction. Wu Qianyu would also be able to distract one more by using Tortoise Can Fly. That left him and Jasmine to deal with three immortals. He might have to reveal soul phantom but it wasn"t a huge problem as long as Jasmine escaped.
He entered his room and saw Wu Qianyu meditating with her Purple Jade Sword across her lap. In addition to her pain Dao, she still diligently practiced Dugu"s 10th Sword and she was making steady progress. As he silently watched her, he wondered if he should let his other disciples learn it as well.
Lin Qingcheng was more suited as a physical brawler and he didn"t know how long it would take her to learn something as complicated as this sword art. Zhou Ziyun"s Flying Dragon Saber Art was slightly weaker overall but the saber was suitable for her and there was no need to learn another blade art. He thought about the five sisters and felt that Li Yuechan and Song Wushuang were probably more suitable for swords than the other three. Xu Lanyi had a similar fighting style to Lin Qingcheng while the twins didn"t lean towards any specific style.
He wondered why he hadn"t given each of them an immortal weapon yet. He had enough within his vast collection. Even Spirit Kings would be shocked silly by the amount of immortal items he had. He finally concluded that maybe he was apprehensive about their loyalty since they were previously from a different sect. However, after getting to know them intimately for so long, he no longer had any issues.
"Master?" Wu Qianyu completed her meditation and saw him.
Chen Wentian pulled her up and sat down on the bed, hugging her body to his. He found himself constantly h.o.r.n.y around Wu Qianyu after their heart to heart. If she even looked in his direction, he would get flutters in his stomach. Her voice would fill his heart with joy. If she so much as touched him, he would instantly become hard. It was like his confession of love had freed a l.u.s.tful beast within him and he simply wanted her all the time.
"Bad master, didn"t you say we have to be ready at anytime for the operation?" Wu Qianyu complained as he traced gentle kisses on her collarbone.
"It"s fine. My spy keeps me updated constantly through my soul art. There"s nothing happening right now." He muttered. His lips were needy and desperate as he tried to find hers.
"The comet lynx is a nocturnal hunter, maybe something will happen tonight?" She finally shoved his face away, "We should be alert."
She was right. It really wasn"t a good time. As an immortal, he couldn"t be losing control over his desire like this. But it was partly her fault, she just looked so ravas.h.i.+ng...
Chen Wentian sighed. "I"m sorry. I"ll help you meditate."
---
Chen Wentian, as He Xingping, was fully alert as he stood besides He Xinghan, observing the mountain under a clear moonlit night. He Xinghan"s immortal aura was fully retracted so as not to alert the comet lynx. They silently watched and listened and they could hear the forests come alive as creatures hunted each other and killed in the name of survival.
Every few minutes, Hong Qi would return and report on the estimated location of the comet lynx. The beast"s hunger was insatiable and they had lost another scout tonight under its rampage. He Xinghan could move out and capture it right now without too much issue but he still waited. Perhaps he wanted to wait until the lynx broke through? The body of an immortal beast would certainly provide him much greater benefits.
"Sir, should we capture the beast?" Chen Wentian asked.
"No... it"s not time yet." He Xinghan replied tersely.
"What if it actually broke through. It might be a problem." Chen Wentian pressed.
"Tsk, even if it did, it"s no match for me. Shut up and do your job."
"Yes sir." Chen Wentian bowed and kept his mouth shut.
He continued to stand watch all through the night, even as He Xinghan retreated to his tent. It was pretty boring as it looked like nothing would happen tonight. His thoughts drifted he tried to guess why Qu Shen hadn"t attacked yet. By all means, He Xinghan was a sitting duck in this remote area. Did Qu Shen know that He Zicheng was also in the vicinity? Or did Qu Shen also want to wait until the comet lynx broke through? Maybe he wanted to kill two birds with one stone and capture both He Xinghan and an immortal beast.
Chen Wentian"s own greedy heart also wished they would wait until the comet lynx broke through. He hadn"t had time to go out hunting for souls since he took on disciples. If he was lucky enough, and the situation chaotic enough, there might be a chance to add it to his collection.
