" no no you want go out alone but you are mute " said yi ying. " I won"t go as a maid but my true self I need information the most I don"t know anything while what you told me is not matching with facts." said bai jie he thought he could get to know this world through yi ying it would be safer this way but this ji lan seems much more trouble than he thought.
" you have resources for your cultivation right.
you should go into seclusion to cultivate the stronger you are the better for me " bai jie said. In this world strength meant everything.
yi ying nodded she knew she was just a burden in her current state.
" don"t cultivate the cultivation technique he gave you I will give you mine but you can"t cultivate it here we need a isolated place " said bai jie. he belived something is wrong with cultivation method yi ying had.
" but I don"t have a isolated place I always cultivated here " said yi ying.
" dammit what should what to do what to " bai jie was thinking his mind was racing there was qi gathering expert outside if she cultivated here it would be disaster. he couldn"t let that shadow sneak on them.
now bai jie was keeping an eye on the shadow he wasn"t alert before but now he was keeping an eye on the shadows movements.
" do you know who is the strongest in the village " asked bai jie.
" of course its master no it"s ji lan the village chief he is 9th mortal stage he is strongest here" said yi ying after thinking.
" ignorance is such a bliss " bai jie realised yi ying didn"t knew about the shadow or shadow just started keeping a close eye on her. But this also complicates things from what bai jie understood in this world only strength decided who obey who. if that shadow was ji lan"s subordinate then it means there is someone stronger backing him up.
" okay someone is outside. " said bai jie.
*************
"Alice from today onwards you serve head maid yi ying. " said argeena. she was feeling very dejected after yi ying left with bai jie she had investigated if she was really mute.
but what she found out brought her even more self guilt. she found out that not only she was a mute but also a victim of abuse as a woman she felt very crushed she felt disgusted about how she tortured a victim it"s also answered her doubts why she suddenly went berserk like that first she thought it was pills but after knowing full story she believed that it was the tickling triggered her painful memories.
when she told young miss about it she was also feeling the same as her.
" sister argeena what have we done this time I feel very bad " said ji Julian her face looked very sad. if she knew that poor woman was happily enjoying himself here then she would certainly kill her.
Argeena looked at Alice who was on her knees no one knew what she was thinking.
she was 3rd stage mortal she wasn"t the strongest but she wasn"t the weakest either.
" yes young miss " said Alice. she felt she was a sacrificial lamb.
" tell head maid that I owe her a favor and I won"t cause her trouble any more " said ji Julian even she was little she had good upbringing under argeena from being a kid she had taught her ways of the world works.
Argeena nodded towards ji Julian. her young miss seems to have grown up. it was the only good thing she saw in this mess.
**************
" divine lady a maid wanted to meet you " guards voice came from outside.
" let her in " yi ying said. bai jie stayed hidden he can"t pop out he didn"t want the shadow to notice him. bai jie really made a new discovery today these cultivators rely too much on their spirit sense he was easily talking to yi ying but the shadow didn"t even tried to look inside he was still hiding his presence from this spirit sense which was like a sonar the shadow was sending the waves of spirit energy bai jie just had to match it"s wavelenght and he could hide himself in plain sight. " These cultivators think to highly of themselves. " not only he could hide himself he could also get approx position of the shadow. a normal mortal cultivator had a range of approx 10 metes bai jie had a.s.sumed it to be a standard. with every three meridians your range of perception would increase by ten meters. bai jie current range is 240 meters
which was lower than the shadow. he estimated that shadow had a range of 300 to 350 meters on the basis of waves emitted by him. so he was always keeping an on the shadow.
what bai jie didn"t know it required very precise control of spirit energy to match the wavelenght he could do it because of other meridian set which allowed him to match it.
which was impossible for a cultivator. his brain was more powerful than others.
bai jie hid himself he could hide himself from shadow spirit sense but if someone came inside they could see him.
Yi ying also played her part she got up from the bed.
Alice saw yi ying and she kneeled she kneeled on the ground yi ying had covered her face again so Alice couldn"t see her expression.
" Leader Alice is under your command young miss has said that she won"t trouble you anymore and she owe you a favor" said Alice she thought she will see the vicious face of head maid but she had covered it.
" why you seem so scared " yi ying asked. " I won"t eat you " yi ying could see both Alice and bai jie. he was clinging to the ceiling and Alice was right under him. yi ying thought it was very funny.
" Thank you head I won"t make you regret it I know how to make diffrent kinds of foods " Alice replied quickly she had readied her heart
to be eaten alive. but G.o.d"s have shown her mercy.
bai jie felt he was watching a comedy scene but he suppressed his laughter.
yi ying saw bai jie mouth twitching she felt that he was saying " dear eat her she looks so delicious ". she roared at Alice " I will sure taste what kind of food could you make "
Alice could feel the anger in her voice she didn"t knew what she said made her angry.
" Big sister please don"t be angry I will definitely find something great I promise " Alice said hurriedly she had tears in her eyes. she was very single-minded lady.
yi ying was feeling more angry she saw bai jie. he was teasing her and it seemed to work very well. she calmed herself
down and said " Now go I will call you when I need you "
" yes yes thank you big sister I will make best recipe I know " Alice said.
Yi Ying saw Alice leaving she sighed she knew even though Alice came she didn"t wanted to be here she thought why would everyone think like she was monster or something.
Alice who was leaving suddenly came back in " Big sister I forgot something to ask you "
" tell me " yi ying said.
" Big sister its just that if you have any preference of male or female meat " Alice wanted to speak more but something fall on her from above.
bai jie who was clinging to the ceiling couldn"t hold it any longer he wanted to laugh but he fallen right on her. " dammit " bai jie played dead.
Alice suddenly noticed what had fallen on her
she saw a body lying on her and she fainted.
" You b.a.s.t.a.r.d get off of her " yi ying came back to her sense"s she saw Alice trying to get up and then faint and bai jie was lying on her.
he wasn"t moving at all.
" aii what happened " bai jie tried to act ignorant but he checked if the shadow moved
bai jie was still invisible to his spirit sense and he didn"t care about anyone than yi ying first that shadow didn"t move " he must have thought that she had fallen or something ".
bai jie was right the shadow thought that Alice might have seen her spider face which shocked her so much when he first saw her he also felt disgusted. with his spirit sense he could only sense the state of them not like what they were doing. Everytime spirit wave come into contact with he would sense the location just like a sonar system but spirit energy could distinguish between their auras.
so shadow didn"t think much of it because he could not feel any disturbance in his spirit Sense. Cultivators believed in their spirit sense more than their eyes because there are many technique"s which could fool ones eyes and hearing. But this became a trump card for someone like bai jie.
bai jie who was playing dead saw Alice faint. yi ying was looking at him with angry stare he could feel Alice under him he suddenly felt rush and blood came out of his nostrils. It was bai jie"s first time in a situation like this.
" dear wife I can explain " bai jie saw yi ying looking at him it was deathly stare same as he saw in the cage before he was beaten up by her.
" I think I know why you wanted her hehe" yi ying gave out a creepy laugh.
